Crime study shows residents feel safeBY GRACE CABELL

Being burgled, having your vehicle broken into and speeding cars are the three main crime-related issues which worry Merivale residents most.

Those are some of the findings of a major study into how safe Meri-vale people feel.

The study was carried out as part of a research project undertaken by Canterbury University associate professor of human geography Da-vid Conradson and post graduate student Joanne Stevenson.

More than 200 Merivale residents took part in it.

The Nor’West News is publishing data from the study for the first time today (see p3).

Merivale was selected for the study because it was believed to be an area which had a high fear of crime, but low reports of actual crime.

Merivale holds typical demo-graphic attributes for a high fear neighbourhood.

It’s population is slightly older and more affluent than the Christ-church average.

But results show Merivale does not have a high fear of crime, and instead residents say they feel relatively safe within their community.

Within the survey, residents were asked to rate 16 crimes in order of the highest to lowest concern.

Speeding cars top the list as the biggest concern, and gang members in the neighbourhood were the least of resident’s worries.

Last week, arrests were made

following two burglaries in the area, where a large quantity of boxed jewellery was seized along with a camera and other personal items.

A 49-year-old Christchurch woman was charged with burglary, possession of instruments for bur-glary and possession of instruments for drugs.

He hasn’t cut his hair for more than three years, but Anthony Murcott is shaving it all off this month, on the anniversary of his mother’s death.

The Burnside resident will cut his hair on March 23 as part of the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand’s Shave for a Cure campaign.

The 23-year-old’s mother passed away last year following a two-year battle with brain cancer.

“She had been getting worse over time. We knew it would happen [her passing] but we didn’t think it would be that soon,” he said.

“She always wanted to get the scissors and give it a snip. I kept putting it off. When I decided to do this I thought about cancelling it, but I know I can’t do that.”

He said he had been through some rough patches since his mother’s death.

He describes his hair as his pride and joy.

“I’m pretty nervous about it,” he said.

So far he has raised $2000 of his $5000 goal.

He said he was also

considering donating his hair as a wig for cancer patients.

Elissa Downey, of Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand’s Shave for a Cure said he was one of the group’s strongest fundraisers, pulling together more than $1500 in only 24 hours.

Mr Murcott’s workplace, Datacom South Island, has also said it would match his donations up to $3000.

Donations can be made at: secure.leukaemia.net.nz/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx?RegistrationID=869393#&panel1-1.

Out of more than 200 Merivale residents, only 28 per cent of them believe crime is a problem in the area.

The findings come out of the research project undertaken by Canterbury University associate professor of human geography David Conradson and post gradu-ate student Joanne Stevenson.

The study shows most partici-pants felt only specific crimes were a problem in the neighbourhood. About 60 per cent of respondents said they had experienced at least one crime in the area.

Survey participants said violent crimes, such as assault, were rela-tively uncommon.

The study showed that when people did feel unsafe, it was be-cause of intoxicated people leaving nearby bars at night. Vandalism, graffiti, and litter in the neigh-bourhood also lowered Merivale resident’s sense of safety.

Results from the study show people felt most safe while near Merivale Mall during the day, and when walking around residential areas in Merivale.

They felt the least safe near bars close to Carlton Mill Rd and near Little Hagley Park.

About 56 per cent of those who were surveyed said they would avoid areas in Merivale with poor lighting, and 30 per cent said they avoided areas with lots of trees or shrubs.

But only three per cent of the

respondents said they had security measures in place to protect them-selves from crime. That’s only six out of 207 residents.

Results from the study also show more than 80 per cent of Merivale residents say they do not feel safe in Christchurch’s city centre.

Findings showed this was be-cause they felt they lacked famil-iarity with the area.

Some believed the city centre was less safe as a result of intimi-dating or unpleasant people in public areas.

But results from the study showed participants would still like to see the safety in Merivale improved.

They say enhanced street light-ing could be used to ensure better coverage for commercial and resi-dential areas, and stricter enforce-

ment of public alcohol bans could be made.

Participants also want to see improved financial support and infrastructure to create a closer neighbourhood environment.

Merivale residents give their views about feeling safe in the area:

“[It is] being able to walk in the neighbourhood in the early evening and daytime. It’s know-ing that my neighbours who are home during the day keep an eye out for anything suspicious, knowing my neighbours are here for me if needed.”

“I’ve lived here a long time. This quiet neighbourhood comprises [of] retired couples, business people, schools, not many young families. I walk a lot to Merivale Mall, parks, gar-dens, and church. The pedes-trians are friendly – we usually exchange a greeting or smiles. I feel comfortable here.”

“Items left at the back of my carport are always safe. Today I accidentally left my front door open and on rare occasions for-get to shut my garage. I never have any problems.”

“There are too many ratbags and criminal types hanging around streets and bus stations, public library and behaving badly [in the city].”

▌▌ IN BRIEFMan hurt in fireA man has sustained burns to his hand following a fire in the roof of a property on Memorial Ave. Two crews from Sockburn and Hare-wood were alerted to the blaze at 10.25am on Thursday. Fire Service southern communications shift manager Andrew Norris said weld-ing operations on the property had set fire to material in the ceiling cavity. Mr Norris said damage to the house was believed to be minor.

Grant decision pendingA grant of $7000 may be provided by the Fendalton-Waimairi Com-munity Board toward rebuild costs for the Fendalton Open-air School swimming pool. A decision about the funding will be made at the board’s next meeting tonight, (March 16).

Tree plantingA cherry tree will be planted in the Withers Family Park on or around Arbour Day 2015 by former deputy mayor Norm Withers. The Shirley-Papanui Community Board will fund the planting and are encour-aging community participation in the project.

$2170 for fitness trailA grant of $2170 is being donated toward the Burnside Park Fitness Trail by the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board from its 2014/15 discretionary response fund to en-able the first of four stations to be completed as soon as possible. The board also requested staff provide information regarding commu-nity fundraising for the proposed Merivale Reserve Playground at its meeting tonight (March 16).

Recognition for a longBill Lynn has spent more than 70 years involved in hockey in Canterbury and received a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the sport at the Marriotts Hadlee sports awards earlier this month. Reporter Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about his love for the game.

So Bill, how long have you been involved in hockey?

I started playing when I was at Harewood School, I might have been about six or seven when I started. In 1947, I joined Harewood Hockey Club and played until 1960, until my family came along. I’m a life member of the hockey club and a life member of Canterbury Hock-ey. I also got a medal from the New Zealand Hockey Association for being involved in hockey. That was just before the earthquakes.

What sorts of roles have you had within the sport?

I’ve been on committees and I played up until the 60s and we played all over Christchurch so we had to do our biking. I was the bar manager in the Harewood Hockey clubrooms and have been a liai-son officer for some of the teams around. I’ve worked at hockey tournaments that have been in Christchurch and I used to help out down at Porritt Park. Our first turf went down in 1989 at Nunweek Park and the first game played on it was between a German club team and Harewood. I think Harewood

might have lost.And you recently received a

lifetime achievement award at the Marriotts Hadlee sports awards, how did it feel to be recognised like that?

I knew I was getting it but I was very pleased actually. I gave a speech when I received it, the jok-ers up beside me said they weren’t going to do a speech so I thought I suppose I better do something. It was just my thanks to everybody who had nominated me for the award. The speech was not planned and straight off the cuff. I had my two daughters with me so it was good.

Have you played for any other club teams in Christchurch?

I’ve always just played for Hare-wood and I was on the Harewood committee and the clubrooms’ bar

manager for about 10 years. I was picked for a Hatch Cup team but I never played in it. I was picked for a Canterbury B representative team, I just played in that for one year.

And why did you start playing?Well I went to Harewood School

and that’s what they did.Have you ever played any other

sports?I’ve played a wee bit of football,

but I love my hockey.And where do you come from?I’ve lived in Harewood all my

life. My mum and dad shifted out

to Gardiners Rd and had a farm out there so I biked everywhere. We didn’t have motor cars in those days, I’m 85 now. We just biked, we used to go for five-a-side tour-naments out in Methven and Ger-aldine and we used to get a bus to those.

D589SC00003 New Zealand Print Advertisement Version dated 28 August 2014

What did you do for work?I owned a grocery business for

a while and I did a bread round around Christchurch. I was based on Fitzgerald Ave and I went around Richmond, down to Brigh-ton and back to Papanui. Then I went driving tractors for B A Murray Ltd and B A Turner. We did all types of tractor work like landscaping and baling hay. We went to the coast one year to do up a school over there. We were there for about three or four days. But I still had time for hockey on a Saturday afternoon, I would put my work boots aside on Saturdays. I spent three or four years driving tractors and then I went to Inter-national Harvester on Blenheim Rd. I did small jobs there until I retired.

And I hear you help out at Nunweek Park, can you tell me a bit of what you do there?

They have asked me to go back and tidy up the grounds and if there are any jobs that need doing I help out. I’ve ended up as patron of Harewood Hockey Club for three years.

And you mentioned you have two daughters, where do they live?

One lives in Kaiapoi and the other has been living with me be-fore she goes on a five month trip of the continents and she leaves on Friday. I’ve got three granddaugh-ters and it is nice to see them. The oldest is 23-years-old, the next is 22 and the youngest is 20.

What are the best memories

you have from being involved in hockey in Canterbury?

I’ve got so many memories I can’t think. They are all very good mem-ories. A lot of people have helped me out in the last 18 months as I lost my wife. I’ve made so many friends and have great memories. Just everything.

And I am told you have made hockey scrapbooks, can you tell me a bit about that?

I’ve got two or three scrapbooks. I started doing them when the earthquakes came along and I just put bits and pieces in there when I see them. I’ve got lots of stuff on the damage of Porritt Park after the earthquakes, there are lots of old photos. I’ve got some of the first, second and third turfs built at Nunweek. We lost two people in the earthquakes that were tied up with the Harewood club so I’ve got a lot on them. I just have them at home here, they don’t go out on show but I take them down to the turf at times. It’s just something to keep me out of mischief.

And were a lot of the turfs in the city badly damaged after the earthquakes?

All of Porritt Park was all twisted and turned, the turf was all lifted and the concrete as well. Nunweek was alright and thank god for that!

And will you continue to be in-volved in hockey?

I’m patron of the club, I do the odd meeting and I go and watch most of the games and wish them the best for the season. Same with the premier men’s and women’s

teams and if they didn’t know me, they do now! Often people will see me at the club and say “hello Bill” and the person I am with will ask me “who’s that?” and I say “I wouldn’t have a clue”. There is about 800 players in the club but I will get to know them. I might not learn their names but I will know their faces and they will know who I am.

What has been the most re-warding part of your role in hockey?

I think the most rewarding thing is the public, I’ve made so many friends. And some people coming into the club will be the second or third or even fourth generation. It’s just meeting the people and they come and talk to you.

And to finish, where is your fa-vourite place to go on holiday?

I haven’t been on holiday since my wife passed away. We used to like going to Kaikoura because my daughter lived there so we used to go there quite a bit. I’m not one for big trips. We had some great trips away down south with a caravan. Queenstown is quite nice too. I can always go away Monday-Friday but I’ll be back for hockey on the weekend. I love my sport, I love the rugby and watch the games on the TV at the weekend and the crick-et. I’ve been watching quite a few matches .

Who do you think is going to win the Cricket World Cup?

I don’t know, I hope the Black Caps can do it. I will be crossing my fingers.

Traffic numbers in the north-west have increased significantly following the earthquakes.

A review of traffic count data between 2008 and 2013 has seen a massive increase in the number of cars travelling daily on major roads in the area.

In 2009, almost 16,000 vehicles were recorded on Idris Rd, south of Glandovey Rd. And in three years that number has increased by 2250, to about 18,000.

Waimairi Rd, north of Peer St, also saw an increase – to almost 5000 cars in the time between 2010 and 2012.

Russley Rd, north of Ryans Rd, had 3039 more vehicles travelling on it daily in 2013 compared to 2009 and Memorial Ave, south of Greers Rd, had 2174

more vehicles daily in 2012 compared to 2010.

Data for Wairakei Rd, east of Greers Rd, showed a slightly lower increase, with only 609 more vehicles in 2012 compared to 2010.

Only one road in the north-west showed a decrease.

Papanui Rd, north of Bealey Ave, showed 3141 less vehicles travelling on it daily in 2012 compared to 2008.

City council spokesman Chris Gregory cautioned against drawing firm conclusions for any one street based on just two consecutive surveys, as changes could be a continuation of pre-earthquake trends or natural variation.

However, traffic signal data confirmed the general pattern of more traffic moving through the

nor’west suburbs and more moving around the central city, instead of in and out of it.

“What is contributing to congestion is the wider distribution of destinations people are travelling to,” Mr Gregory said.

While traffic counts, carried out over a week, were very accurate at the time and place they were done, traffic could vary greatly from week to week or month to month, and even block to block.

Many of the most recent available counts were from 2012 and 2013 and Mr Gregory said patterns could well have changed since then.

“Traffic in Christchurch is still in a temporary and highly changeable state, traffic patterns are likely to continue to shift around until things settle down,” he said.

Thank you for the warm welcome

Addressing the powhiri.

Students visit maraeYear 9 students enjoyed the warm welcome at Rāpaki Marae in February. All classes visited the beautiful marae as part of the Social Science and English Tūrangawaewae – Our Place unit. They learnt about some of the history of the area and the important relationships between cultures which are symbolised by the stand of Ti Kouka, or cabbage trees, at school. Students on the final day of visits were lucky to witness the arrival of the ocean-going waka, Te Matau a Māui, which sailed in as part of the Te Matatini Kapa Haka Festival in Christchurch.

Rt Hon John Key visited on 3 March to present his Prime Ministerial warrant to his old school. While at the school the Prime Minister met with students, addressed an assembly and visited a Year 10 Social Studies class to see e-learning in practice.

Academic achievements

Again, at the end of 2014, Burnside High School students achieved excellent results and this was epitomised by the success of our 2014 Dux, Ding Cheng Luo, who gained an Outstanding Scholar Award in the Scholarship examinations, and Samuel Park who was top in New Zealand in Year 12 Cambridge Mathematics.

On course for successAmelia Garvey (Year 11) finished fourth in the Amateur section of the New Zealand Women’s Open at Clearwater and has been selected as a member of the New Zealand Junior Masters team to compete in Adelaide next month.

Girls’ volleyball team brings home trophyCongratulations to the Burnside High School senior Volleyball teams who competed in the recent Mainland (South Island) Volleyball Championships. The Burnside High School Girls’ team won the coveted trophy, beating archrivals Waimea College 3-0. The Burnside Boys’ team achieved fifth place – their best-ever placing at this tournament.

Sailor’s race-winning form continuesAli Nightingale (Year 13) continues to have great success sailing. Pictured here sailing the yacht with sail number 206030, she is on her way to Top Youth Girl at the Nationals in Auckland, for the third successive year.

Almost a term has passed, very quickly too, and for me this has been all about firsts, starting with the powhiri when I was welcomed to Burnside and afterwards my first address to the staff as the new Principal. It was a very emotional and proud day for me. This began what has been a busy, challenging and rewarding first term. It was important to me that, before I started my principalship, I had a clear understanding of what Burnside stands

for and believes in so that I can build on the vision and legacy of the school’s six previous principals.I have formalised this into a document that records our guiding principles and I have presented this to staff and to students. Thank you all for the warm welcome you have extended to me; it has been a great first term as shown by all the events and achievements recorded here. Mr Holstein, Principal

Ding Cheng, Burnside High School Dux for 2014.

Medbury School —Unlocking Every Boy’s Potential

Medbury School is the only independent preparatory boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an education for both dayboys and boarders from Years 1 to 8. At Medbury

the focus is on the ‘whole boy’, so in addition to academic studies, more than 25 extra-curricular activities are provided to expand the curriculum further, developing wider talents and interests.

Children live and learn in a world of constant change, where they are expected to cope with rapid technological advances and explosions of knowledge. Their generation

needs to be highly educated, articulate and adaptable in order to succeed. Medbury’s mission is to ’Unlock Every Boy’s

Potential’ by providing a personalised learning programme. The personalised programmes cater for each boy’s physical, academic and social development, helping every boy discover and develop his particular talents and strengths.

Peter Kay, Headmaster, believes that the key to unlocking every boy’s potential so he is prepared not only to move

into but also to contribute to this world, is to equip him with the personal and inter-personal skills which complement

the strong academic core competencies in literacy and numeracy.

When a boy leaves Medbury he does so with an exploring and inquiring mind, and is able to evaluate information critically and enthusiastically. He will have developed a collaborative approach, have strong values and communication skills, which will make a difference to him and those around him. He will leave with an education equipping him for life in the 21st Century.

Friendships, values, and a quiet self-confidence will provide an invaluable foundation for his journey ahead.

For information on enrolments please contact Tanya Moore (Headmaster’s PA) on 03 351 6169 109 Clyde Road, Christchurch | [email protected] | www.medbury.school.nz

Rangi Ruru and St Margaret’s are both heading to the national tennis championships after meeting in the final of the South Island tourna-ment.

Rangi won on this occasion but both still qualified for the tourna-ment in Wellington on March 23-26.

In the final, played in Timaru,

Rangi jumped out to a big lead after winning three of the four singles matches before heading into the doubles.

All it took to win the title was for one of the doubles teams to win one set which was achieved in the first match with a 6-0 trouncing in the first set.

The final score was 4-2 to Rangi.The two sides had already met

each other a couple times earlier in

the season with St Margaret’s win-ning twice and Rangi winning the last time they met.

Teacher in charge of tennis at Rangi Ali McQueen said it was a fantastic achievement and the girls were thrilled to have won the tour-nament.

Three of the girls in the side are still juniors with Imogen Bell a year nine and Stella Hooper and Vera Goesmann year 10.

McQueen said to have such a young team bodes well for the future and the win in the South Island tournament conveyed the talent that the team has.

However, she said the nationals would be a tough challenge with the four North Island teams being very strong.

The serving of the side would need to be worked on before then with some sloppy serving in last

weekend’s tournamentMcQueen said the team was

keen to start the tournament and was looking forward to competing together again.

The Rangi Ruru team is Annabel Ellis (captain), Vera Goesmann, Imogen Bell, Stella Hoeper and Margo Willis.

The St Margaret’s team is Gabri-ela Coates, Annabel Coates, Ruby Spencer and Annabelle Lee.

St Andrew’s had a golden run at the South Island schools rowing regat-ta last Saturday before the weather put a stop to any further medals be-ing handed out.

They won two gold medals in the under 15 boys double scull and the under 18 boys coxless pair.

They were unable to add any-more gold to their tally on Sunday as all rowing was cancelled due to high winds at Lake Ruataniwha near Twizel.

The double scull pair of Zack Rumble and Flynn Dijkstra blew their competition away in the final winning by more than 4sec over crews from Roncalli College and

Christchurch Boys’.The coxless pair of Sam Mar-

tel and Sam Robertson were also streets ahead of their closest rivals blasting the field by 8sec.

Even with the limited finals being run, St Bede’s won two silvers, St Margaret’s a silver and a bronze and Rangi Ruru a silver medal.

Other Christchurch schools also had a successful days rowing, which served as the final big regatta before the Maadi Cup in the last week of March at lake Karapiro.

Christchurch Boys’ won a gold and a bronze with the gold com-ing in the under 18 novice double scull. Girls’ High won a bronze

and silver, Villa Maria won a gold medal in the under 15 coxed quad scull and Cashmere won a solitary bronze medal.

Because of the cancellations on the Sunday the winners of the oth-er classes were determined by who had the fastest heat times.

These results can be found at www.rowit.co.nz

Motorsport action at Ellesmere Raceway

The Ellesmere Speedway hosts the Canterbury Vintage Speedway’s 5th Wilson Print ‘Day in the Dirt’ on March 22.

2015 sees many favourites return from previous ‘Days in the Dirt’ and more.

Joe Gillman in his vintage 1935 Ford Coupe, Peter Leversedge’s vintage V8 single seat racer, track ace Avon Hyde in a 1930’s Alfa Romeo styled roadster and Alan Wylie’s supercharged 36 Ford Coupe will provide action.

Chris Leigh’s vintage 1935 Ford V8 will swell the stock car ranks. Mike Parkers ‘new’ old school VW runs and the VW LTC car of

Murray Smith is to be driven by retired midget ace Selwyn Everett in the midget ranks. The ‘old school challenge’ sees the Ford side valve V8 ‘Freddy

Flintstone’ of Don and Colin Cameron against the GMC 6 cylinder “Junior Jimmy” of Greg Lewis.

Classic rally cars will return along with the Rat Rods. Phil Henry’s 58 Chev Belair ‘Moonshine Runner’ is always spectacular in muscle cars.

The retro Vespa’s kept the flat track motorcycles honest in 2014, they’re looking to go better and attain outright honours this year.

The Wilson Print ‘Day in the Dirt’ has a friendly and casual atmosphere. No placings are taken, no prizes awarded; but bragging rights are always up for the taking. The pits are open all day for you to see the cars, bikes and stars of yesteryear.

“Os t e o p a t h s can treat a n y t h i n g that isn’t

working properly and is not in good alignment – the list is endless. For our body to be pain-free, everything needs to be in its correct position, balanced and working well,” says Christina.

� e treatments are gentle and holistic, using a wide range of techniques to provide relief from pain caused by mal-alignment and dysfunction of the body’s structure.

“We treat the cause rather than the symptom by restoring the body’s natural ability to heal by using a combination

of gentle osteopathic techniques, lifestyle factors and advice about healthy nutrition to restore good function and biomechanics,” she says.

With the onset of cooler weather, mundane activities like raking leaves or bringing in wood can cause injuries.

“A� er balancing on ladders to clear the gutters around the house or pulling armfuls of weeds, your neck, shoulders and back can o� en be a nagging reminder of your hard day’s work around the home,

and then there are the winter sports injuries.

“A session with an osteopath can o� en

provide unexpected explanations for a health issue, such as the patient who came in for lower back pain which was related to a long-term foot injury.”

� e team of Osteopaths on Wairakei and Osteopaths on Ensors receive referrals from a range of health practitioners, but patients can also phone the clinics directly to make an appointment.

Each osteopath at the two clinics not only treats all kinds of health issues, but also has a di� erent area of special interest – Christina’s is paediatrics, Stephen’s is chronic pain, Anne-Lise has a special interest in the way the organs work and acute pain, while Agnieszka is interested in clinical neuro-dynamics that helps alleviate the symptoms relating to nerve compression, such as in sciatica and carpal tunnel.

Not just for backs

“Osteopathy is not just for backs, but can resolve a whole range of health issues including constipation, a lack of energy, carpal tunnel or colic in children”, says osteopath Christina Creek who has two clinics: one on

Wairakei Road and the other on Ensors Rd.

To make an appointment, phone 351 8262 for Osteopaths on Wairakei at 195 Wairakei Rd, or 377 5115 for Osteopaths on Ensors at 23 Ensors Rd. More information about both clinics and about osteopathy can be found at www.osteopathiccare.org.

This statistic is part of a comprehensive submission made to Parliament’s Health Select Committee, which is considering

outlawing sunbeds for people under the age of 18 years.

The submission is made by Accuro Health Insurance, established in the 1970s as a private insurer for the public health sector. Today, it trades as a private health insurer with a widespread, general membership.

Accuro, in supporting the submission made by the New Zealand Dermatological Society, pointed to a New Zealand Cancer Society figure of 324 deaths from melanoma in 2010. According to the NZ Road Transport Agency, there were 253 road deaths for the 12 months to February 2014 and 303 for the 12 months to February 2015.

In highlighting the figure, CEO Geoff Annals emphasised the serious nature of the disease and his submission drew the committee’s attention to the financial, social and personal costs of skin cancer.

He quoted Cancer Society figures which report that New Zealand, along with

Australia, has among the highest melanoma rates in the world. In 2010, melanoma was the fourth most common cancer with 2341 registered cases and the sixth most common cause of death from cancer.

The Cancer Society further reports that skin cancer currently costs this country about $123 million annually.

Geoff Annals says research by the Centre for Disease Control showed the introduction of seatbelts reduced serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about half and banning artificial UV tanning services is warranted on the same public health grounds as the compulsory seatbelt legislation.

While Accuro’s submission relates to a ban for people under 18 years, it supports the introduction of a total ban on commercial artificial UV tanning.

“As a health insurer grounded in the public health sector, we are strongly committed to supporting the effectiveness of publicly funded health services and better health outcomes for all New Zealanders,” Geoff Annals says.

Melanoma deadlier than road fatalitiesMore people die from melanoma each year than

those who are killed annually in road crashes.

A leading New Zealand dermatologist, Dr Louise Reiche, who’s also made submissions to the Health Select Committee, says she’s treating many young people, especially women in their 20s and 30s, with melanomas resulting from commercial sunbed exposure.

She says clients typically lie naked on their sunbeds and expose skin to radiation emitted from UV lamps, which can be up to 13 times greater than the peak summer sun. She’s now treating people with cancer of the genital skin, which is more vulnerable to skin cancer development.

“The medical profession is run off their feet with people presenting themselves with skin cancers, causing the public health system to

be overwhelmed,” Dr Reiche says.“The waiting list is three to four months

for urgent cases and, during the delay, the cancers are growing. This results in poorer health outcomes and more complex and expensive procedures.”

The Health Select Committee is, at present, considering the submissions and will report to the House by May 6, 2015. Parliament will then debate the committee’s report and vote on changes to the Bill.

BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

The last week has been one of gas incidents which could have been serious, but were, in fact, quickly con-trolled.

A chlorine leak in Wigram last Wednesday is one of those things that can become extremely serious, just be-cause of the high toxicity of the gas.

Quick work by the engi-neers on site saw the leak isolated.

Then on Tuesday in Packe St in the city the under-ground reticulated LPG gas

system was breached by dig-ging operations.

Once again while our troops stood by with water at the ready, gas technicians responded quickly and had the leak blocked off within 30min.

Those up and about very early on Saturday morning on Lincoln Rd witnessed the spectacular fire on the sec-ond floor of the White Fox & Jones building at the bottom end of Moorhouse Ave.

I’ve seen an online video taken by someone and the fire was certainly roaring along.

Crews responded to the building’s private fire alarm

and, on arrival, from Moor-house Ave, could see noth-ing.

The normal check around the sides of the building quickly alerted them to the fact they had a significant fire.

They utilised the internal vertical hydrant system in the building which enabled them to attack the fire with hoses originating at the floor below. The flames were ex-tinguished just before they would have broken into the floor above.

This meant for all floors other than the fire floor it was business as usual on Monday. Pretty good work.

People who come to the PD Warrior circuit style programme each week report feeling more confident in their movements and are able to move more freely and get back into life.Val has been coming to PD Warrior since it started at Muscle People Physiotherapy in March 2014. For Val the biggest impact Parkinson’s had was on the little things in daily life – not being able to open jars and lids, not being able to put her earrings in and the slowness of her movements. Since coming to PD Warrior Val has seen measurable improvement with her symptoms; she’s walked up Conical Hill,

[EDITION DATE]2

The name Bryndwr has Welsh origins and was given to the area by European settler Charles Je� reys, who owned 100 acres

of farmland in 1880. � e name translates ‘on the brink of the water’. � e area was named for the small creeks forming the headwaters of the Waimairi Stream and its close proximity to Lake Bryndwr.

Lake Bryndwr was the name given to the three shingle pits fed by an underground spring located in close proximity to Roydvale Avenue and Wairakei Road. It was quarried by the Ashby brothers, which provided much of the stone and gravel for drives and paths. � e main pit, known as Lake Bryndwr, was extremely deep – between 4.5 to six metres in depth. On the outskirts of the main pit was a race track (1.5 miles in length), where midget

cars were raced. � e lake was utilised for water skiing and recreational � shing (brown and rainbow trout). A sawmill was located closer to Wairakei Rd. � e dragline, used to pull the shingle out of the pits, was moved to the Waimakariri Bridge in about 1962.

Most of the land in Bryndwr and Burnside was farmed for the � rst hundred years in small blocks to sheep, cattle, market gardening and orchards. In 1878, the Greer homestead was built (now 302 Greers Rd) and was a visible landmark for miles.

A church of note in Bryndwr is the St Johns Methodist Church at 49 Bryndwr Rd. � e church was consecrated in 1927. A memorial lychgate was built at the Methodist Church dedicated to the pioneer methodists of the St Albans circuit.

Bryndwr is generally identified as being the area around Aorangi and Wairakei roads. It is one

of two suburbs in the Nor’West of Christchurch (Burnside is the other), which experienced rapid

growth when Christchurch expanded out from the city centre in the 1950s and 1960s. This

expansion was accelerated due to World War 11 ex-servicemen returning to build homes and

settle with their families.

Most of the land in Bryndwr and Burnside was farmed for the first hundred years in small blocks to sheep, cattle, market gardening and orchards.

Waimairi School was one of the Bryndwr area’s earliest school. Originally, from 1914, it was a side school of Papanui but came into existence in its

own right in 1920. Waimairi School had a large number of children from two orphanages in the area: one Presbyterian, the other, Methodist.

FOOD

Potatoes and Guinness for St Paddy’sMARCH 17 commemorates the patron saint of Ireland—Saint Pat-rick—and the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

Born about 385AD in Wales— or Scotland (it’s debatable)— Pat-rick was kidnapped by pirates and taken to Ireland. He escaped but later returned to introduce Christianity.

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated the world over and about 70 million people will rejoice with a party or a pint of the national drink.

Guinness, contrary to popular belief, is not a meal in a glass. It has the same number of calories as many other beers. It is an almost black stout prepared from malted

and roasted barley plus hops, yeast and water.

Another famous tipple is Baileys Irish Cream, an Irish whiskey and cream liqueur. It is popular ‘‘as is’’ or as a post-dinner delight. How-ever, it’s also great served over ice or poured over ice cream topped with lightly toasted walnuts.

Potatoes are a must on any St Patrick’s Day menu. Tradition-ally, it is the day the Irish plant

their potatoes. From the 1700s, Irish farmers

enjoyed enormous success with their potato crops that were a more reliable food source than grains. The typical Irishman ate 4-7kg of potatoes each day.

Potatoes are loaded with vita-mins, minerals, complex carbohy-drates and protein. Infant mortal-ity plummeted and the Irish grew bigger, stronger and healthier and soon towered over their rural Eng-lish counterparts who ate bread.

As A.A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh books, put it “What I say is that, if a fellow really like potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of a fellow.”

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

‘‘Whenharvested, theywere keptexclusively forthe Inca kings.

WHOwould havethought that thehumble spudwasonce regarded asboth a food and a

fashion accessory fit for royalty?Native to South America,potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,

Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of

packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

Q A&WHAT IS GUAR GUM, AND WHEREWOULD I BUY IT?Guar gum is a gluten-freefood thickenermade fromthe ground seeds of alegume that’s commonlygrown in India andPakistan. As well as beinguseful for gluten-freebaking (especially gluten-free breads), guar gum canbe found in commercial

products ranging fromicecream to hand lotions.You’ll find it in largersupermarkets or healthfood stores. Alwaysmeasure carefully; toomuch guar gum leads toheavy and stringy bakedgoods (not tomention itslaxative effect).

CAN YOU SUGGEST SOMEDIFFERENT WAYS TO COOKBEETROOT?Aswell as boiling, you canbake, roast, microwave(pierce whole beetroot inseveral places to preventbursting), steam and stir-frybeetroot, or turn it intosoup. Fresh young beetrootare also good served raw insalads, either cut into verythin strips or grated.Beetroot usually calls forsomething sharp to temperits sweetness, such asyoghurt, sour cream,vinegar, lemon juice, or, ofcourse, vinegar— but don’tjust stick withmalt vinegar;also try balsamic, cider andwine varieties.

Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the

most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.

Filtered air supply for summer and � ltered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy environment in which to live and work. In case of poor or insu� cient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not e� ective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed.

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stu� ness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.

It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

To ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air o� ers a wide range of ventilation equipment, If you are rebuilding or repairing

your home, Enviro Master can o� er you a complete solution to meet your individual heating, cooling and

ventilation needs. Many housing companies o� er a package deal and therefore may size or position your heat pump incorrectly. It is best to talk to the experts to tailor a solution to best suit your individual requirements. � is can be done from your architectural plans or from a free in-home consultation.

Heat pumps are known to be one of the most energy e� cient forms of heating available. In addition to being able to provide up to 4.9kW of energy for every 1kW used, there are the added bene� ts of cooling, dehumidifying and air � ltration (great for people with allergies or asthma), bene� ts no other heating appliance can o� er.

Size need not matter when clever design is employed to create a versatile home that is neither short on space or style.

A shared passion for the design process between owners Kathryn and Peter has culminated in their new home. Peter’s innate knack for spatial design, together with Kathryn’s methodical, hands-on approach to interior design and project management has meant the couple achieved precisely what they set out to do with minimal hassle and maximum impact.

Working in close collaboration with builders Marc and Chris from Finham Developments on a daily basis throughout the eight-month build, the couple are thrilled with the � nal result.

Armstrong Interiors and Design collaborated with European Kitchens by Michael Eames Design and local cabinet makers Modern Age Joinery to create a compact yet highly functional kitchen with surprising spaciousness. � e combination of white lacquered joinery with so� American oak used on splashbacks, cabinet boarders and � ooring creates a clean, fresh look, which melds seamlessly with the open plan dining and living areas.

Giving careful consideration to maximising all-day sun, the north wall has an expansive sliding glass door, which extends the dining and lounge area into a sunny and sheltered courtyard. Bifolding doors at the opposite end opens out onto a generous entertaining area and manicured garden.

Expansive glass doors and sweeping staircase make for a stunning entrance. Open

plan living and dining open out onto one of two outdoor entertaining areas that � ood the space with light and warmth all year round. Outdoor dining and entertaining bene� t from all-day sun within a beautifully landscaped garden with mature hedges and white roses.

Top of the line � ttings for the two en suites and additional two bathrooms include a luxurious standalone bath and power showers for the ultimate indulgence.� ick,
