In a league of his ownPolice move to stop hoonsrefusedBY GABRIELLE STUART

Police asked for night-time ac-cess to some Woolston roads to be restricted, to discourage boy racers.

But the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board refused.

Five roads in the Woolston in-dustrial area were to be included under a city council bylaw, which already covers more than 50 roads across the city.

Between the hours of 10pm and 5am, only “legitimate users” would be able to use those roads. Anyone else caught there could be fined $750.

Community board chairman Paul McMahon said he needed to see evidence himself before he restricted people’s access to roads.

But the decision split the board, with community board

member Rik Tindall saying the board needed to trust police.

Police detained a group of about 250 boy racers who gath-ered in nearby Bromley in 2012, after some of the group were re-ported doing burnouts and being disorderly.

The roads looked at were Chapmans Rd, Mary Muller Drive, Caerphilly Pl, Brightlings Rd and Lock Cres; which were put forward by the police as problem areas.

Mr McMahon said the board didn’t have enough data to sup-port the police request.

“If we’re going to restrict the right of people to move along those streets we need to see some evidence ourselves. Anecdotal evidence isn’t enough, we actu-ally need some data.”

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof opening night

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the story of a dysfunctional family at war with itself, premiered at The Elmwood Auditorium on August 22. The themes of greed, repression, toxic relationships remain as fresh and relevant as when Tennessee Williams penned it in 1955.

Produced by Canterbury Repertory Theatre and directed by Annette Searle, the fi rst night performance kept the audience enthralled with the cast’s delivery of the wit, dark humour and sarcasm contained in this play.

Acted at fl oor level rather than on a raised stage gave an intimacy and contact with the players which enhanced the effect of the production. Feelings ran high among the watchers who responded with appreciative applause.

The future is looking bright for CPIT stu-dents Shannon Tuck from St Martins and Tae Murray from Linwood, after earning silver medals in the 2014 Nestlé Toque d’Or competition.

The students battled for more than three hours against 11 other teams from around the country to create the medal winning three-course menu. The meals were then served to guests at the competition in Auckland by their teammate, CPIT restaurant service student Amori Irvia.

The event was designed to simulate the pressure of a real working team environment.

The pressure was intense throughout the live kitchen cook off, as the team fought against the clock and under the gaze of a team of industry judges.

The panel of 19 judges was led by high-profile chef and leading culinary figure Paul Jobin.

Teams were marked against World Chefs

Societies International Judging Standards, which include food preparation, presenta-tion, taste and service.

Event organiser and New Zealand Chefs Association Ambassador Anita Sarginson, said Nestlé Toque d’Or was an exciting and fast-paced event to be involved in.

“It challenges competitors to achieve great things under tight time constraints and while they are being watched by judges and members of the public.

“Because there is no room for error, teams must be in top form on the day.”

She said the event provided a great oppor-tunity for young students to showcase their abilities and demonstrate their skills in front of some of the country’s most highly regard-ed culinary professionals.

This year was the 24th anniversary of Nestlé Toque d’Or which is New Zealand’s longest running and most prestigious stu-dent cookery and food service event.

Silver success for CPIT team

PROUD: CPIT culinary students (from left), Shannon Tuck, Amori Irvia and Tae Murray took home silver medals from a national cooking competition in Auckland this month.

•From page 1He said he hoped to go out on patrol

with the police, to “observe the problem” himself.

“I’m wanting to get an idea of the num-bers of cars, and get an idea of the mag-nitude of the safety issues around the city.”

He said he did not doubt the police when they said there was a problem, but believed it would be irresponsible to extend the by-law on the basis of second-hand reports.

When asked if he thought other commu-nity boards had made the wrong decision in accepting the bylaw in other areas, he said he couldn’t comment.

“It’s up to the individual boards how they make those changes, but our board wasn’t satisfied we had enough information to make a decision.”

He said he would be happy to approve the bylaw if the board saw more evidence of a problem.

Mr Tindall was the only member of the board to vote in support of the bylaw as it was.

He said the police needed the support of the board.

“I am sure the evidence is there. The po-lice is the front line, and we know fully as a board we need to trust recommendations because we can’t do everything ourselves.’’

He said that turning down the proposal would cause unnecessary delays, and he believed any further information gathered would support the recommendations.

Thirty-nine people made submissions on the proposal, with just two people opposed to it.

One was a business owner, who was con-cerned that night-shift workers would not be able to get to work, and one was a resi-dent, who said they would prefer “antiso-cial activity” happened in industrial areas rather than residential ones.

BY GABRIELLE STUART

A Spreydon mother will take to the streets next week to demand urgent action on an intersection she calls “deadly”.

Amanda Wallis has arranged a protest at the intersection of Brougham and Selwyn streets on Saturday, September 13.

She said the New Zealand Transport Agency had ignored her concerns over pedestrian safety at the intersection, which she first raised in April this year.

An NZTA spokesman told the Southern View they could not look at the intersection in isolation, but hoped to address any problems in a wider plan for the area.

But Mrs Wallis said she had not received any response from the NZTA, in spite of organising a survey, a petition and inviting representatives to public meetings over the intersection.

She said she hoped the pro-test would make the NZTA pay attention.

“This is a chance for the authorities to see this isn’t just one person upset, it’s the whole community.”

Wigram MP Megan Woods

said she would attend the protest.

She said she contacted the NZTA about the issue in April, and had yet to hear back from them.

“We need to start hearing from them, because this is a concern for the whole commu-nity and we need some engage-ment from the people who have the power to do something about it.”

NZTA traffic and safety manager Tony Spowart was invited to a meeting last month between representatives of the city council, community board, local schools and residents, but was not able to attend because he was sick.

He said the NZTA could not look at the intersection in isolation, because it was a state highway with high volumes of traffic.

But he said traffic flows through the intersection would be monitored by video during September, to confirm identi-fied issues.

“A traffic model of the entire length of Brougham St has been developed and options to im-prove safety at the intersection are being considered as part of a wider plan.”

“We are where you are”

We’ve been entrusted to look after over $82 million of property throughout Christchurch. You can trust us to look after yours too. Call today.

If you could sum up the aims of the Inspire Foundation in a few words, how would you describe it?

Inspire Foundation is a special Canterbury based charitable or-ganisation that we set up post-earthquake to help fund talented young Cantabrians, some who were quite affected by the earth-quakes. It has now grown into an organisation that supports the future leaders of Canterbury.

So how did you personally get involved?

I’ve been involved for a num-ber of years in the Harcourts Foundation with my business partner Mike Green, and I have a friend, Bob Davison, who chairs the Mainland Founda-tion. Both of us over the years have been inundated by appli-cations from individuals, young people especially. Neither of those organisations are geared up for funding individuals, and actually organisations that fund individuals are few and far be-tween. So it just came up in conversations.

We both knew there were

large numbers of young people who had a dream, who want to do something like study dance in Russia or study waterskiing in Florida, and we set up this foundation to fund those cases. We started it from scratch three years ago.

What are some of the cases that have really stood out to you over those years?

Some of the ones that have been exceptional are people like Anton Cooper, who came to us because he was trying to raise money to go and compete over-seas. He’s now been crowned mountain biking world cham-pion. Then there’s Tasman Da-vids, who was trying to get to St Petersburg to study ballet and is now very successful dancing over there. There’s Sophie Pas-

coe, who we supported when there were no swimming pools available three years ago, so she was flying out of Christchurch to train. Hayden Withers has won

a world dancing championship, and he’s now looking an absolute star in that area. How many do you want? The list goes on and on and on.

Harcourts International director Paul Wright is one of the founders of the Inspire Foundation, which helps fund young people in Canterbury to achieve their goals. He speaks to Gabrielle Stuart about the great things young Cantabrians are achieving across the world.

It must be very rewarding work.For us, seeing talent supported and see-

ing these guys achieve these goals and seeing them grow is hugely rewarding. You listen to these young people speak at our functions, and you hear their dreams, they want to com-pete in the Olympics or create an engine that can pump water for Third World nations, and then they go out and achieve their goals.

Part of the motivation behind this is that we believe the only way to address the prob-lems in our communities is to train up lead-ers who will take responsibility for them.

Can I ask, do you have any children your-self?

Yes, I have three daughters. Claire is my eldest, she’s 30 and she’s now a business de-velopment manager for Harcourts. She rep-resented New Zealand in ice hockey, so she spent a year studying overseas and I followed her around the world for a while. My middle daughter, Jacqui, has also worked for Har-courts, and my youngest daughter, Sally, is now working in the Mediterranean with her fiance, living a life of luxury.

Did your own daughters inspire your work with young people?

Actually, one of my daughters, when she was younger, saw me doing business plan-ning with some of my business associates and asked me if I could do something similar, tailored to her age group. So she organised a whole group of her friends, and we used to hold sessions every six months or so with 10 to 20 of her friends. I taught them business planning, and used to partner them up and help them set goals, and it was amazing how quickly they achieved those.

It was amazing over the years to see the progress of these young people. Some of those kids are still in their 20s and own two or three gyms or are achieving great things

overseas. That was when I realised the pow-erful influence in that sort of programme, which is something we brought, later on, to Inspire.

These days young people, young Kiwis especially, don’t seem to stay in one place for long. When you’re sending young peo-ple overseas, do you think any of them will return?

A proportion of our people won’t return to Canterbury, but we think probably better than 50 per cent will. The ones who do come back will make change here, but the ones who spread across the globe are still influ-encers, and they do still stay in contact. If we get another dancer come through, Tasman would be the best person to help them make connections in Europe, so through that net-work if they’re still connected they will help Cantabrians, but in a different way.

Are you a born and bred Cantabrian yourself?

I was actually born in Dunedin, but I came to Christchurch at about five, and have lived here all my life. I don’t want to say how many years that is! I went to St Thomas’s here, which was a great experience.

Has working with these young people, who are doing amazing things, inspired you to set any of your own goals?

That’s a really good question. Working with them is very inspiring. I think what they’ve done is shown us how vital and nec-essary the Inspire Foundation is. Hence our drive to build a capital fund, to fund future generations long after Bob and I are gone. We’ve been very inspired by how successful it’s been, and how much the members re-ally enjoy it and how proud they are of what these young kids achieve. So I think, for me, they’ve inspired me to just keep on and keep driving this forward.

More than 1200 teach-ers were nominated in the first week of the New Zealand’s Most Inspiring Teacher campaign, with 360 nominations for Canterbury teachers.

The annual competition is organised by Warehouse Stationery, with more than $40,000 worth of travel, stationery and technology prizes awarded to the teachers who receive the highest number of votes.

Some of the local nominations are included below. People can vote for their teachers at www.inspiringteachers.co.nz. Voting closes on Sunday.

• Mr Grant Bartley – Cashmere High School

Mr Bartley is my most inspir-ing teacher. You

can always trust him to make you laugh in the most creative ways, with his fish slaps, and tentacles. You are my favourite teacher. Even though you still owe me and the rest of the orchestra chocolate fish.

• Mrs Rachel Beck – Woolston School

She helped me play the piano and she always hugs me, she teaches me a lot about her and her family, she is the nicest and

coolest teacher ever. She is re-ally good at singing and good at art and that is why I think she should win.

• Miss Hannah Carter – St Mark’s School

Our teacher has been such an inspiring teacher to us this year. At the start of the year she wanted us to work as part of a team. To help us get there she organised us to have team shirts to wear whenever we are doing team activities. We did the City2Surf as a team, the whole class, wearing our shirts. I remember sitting in class one day and she said we would have to cancel our sand dunes trip because it was too wet, we were so sad, she got out some plastic spades and let us make sand castles in the school sand-pit. She is enthusiastic, always with a big grin on her face, making the lesson really fun. She is a great listener and never gives up on us.

Mrs Emma McClay – Christchurch South Intermediate

Our teacher has taught in summer camps all over Canada and America. Our teacher is a great role model, she lives life to the full, she has an amazing husband Scott and such a cute puppy Oscar. Our teacher is loving, kind, caring, support-ive, amazing, awesome, funny, crazy, this list could go on. Our teacher has shaped each and everyone of us into who we are today, she has taught me the aspects of life. If it wasn’t for our teacher me and my class-mates wouldn’t be the people we are today. We love you Mrs McClay. Love Jayde

• Miss Deborah Young – Bamford School

I think my teacher should win because she is the best teacher in the world. My teacher always drives us to be better people to make a dif-ference in the world. She is so involved in our learning and you can tell she wants the best for every single student in our class our school. Miss Young is such a caring person, she has taught me that if I’m focused at school and never give up I can be anything and anyone I want. I really think she has made a big difference in my life and much other kids just like me. If there was a prize for the best teacher in the world she would win. She is the best teacher in the whole world honestly.

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

We’ve made it through to Septem-ber which means that it is officially spring.

For once winter seems to have passed in no time without major weather-related events.

Firefighters are the back-up to our ambulance colleagues and that has been in place for a while which means steady callout num-bers. There were 18 of these calls this week amongst the 85 in total, which corresponds with a decrease in some of the other things we do. It would appear that fires and false alarms are down. That’s got to be a good thing.

Fires are dangerous, even small ones. An outside light fitting caught fire in Westmorland recent-ly. A scramble by the neighbour to bring his garden hose to the rescue resulted in him falling off the fence, cutting his leg and giving himself bruising that will be a reminder for a while.

He was treated by ambulance and allowed to go home. On the bright side, the fire was extinguished with minimal damage.

Spring generally brings warmth and wind, which means vegetation and grass fires become more preva-lent and more dangerous.

Care and early reporting will keep these to a minimum.

FOOD

Take control of your grocery budgetI know I’m not the only one guilty of impulse buying. Did I really need that pink chocolate crammed with hundreds and thousands and enticingly displayed near the checkout yesterday? It could have blown the budget (and the calorie intake) for the week. I noted a col-league falling into the same trap.

Flatmates and young marrieds often ask me how they can keep their weekly food bill in check. Here are 10 ideas.

• Planning meals well in advance eliminates the need to purchase last minute quick-toprepare but more expensive convenience foods. • Make a rough meal plan starting with dinners followed by break-

fasts and lunches. Take into ac-count the number of people at each meal, their ages, gender and the amount of energy they expend during a day. • Save fuel by planning some meals to be cooked in your electric fryp-an, crockpot or microwave oven, all of which use less power than conventional ovens and hobs. • Choose seasonal foods— they’re always lower priced than out of sea-son goodies. Grow your own fruit

and vegetables where possible. • Make a shopping list and stick to it. Check the pantry to ensure you’re not buying an item you al-ready have. • Try to plan menus around weekly supermarket specials. • Check the labels on the packets for “use buy” and “best before” dates. It’s uneconomic to buy an item that will be out of date before you have used the entire amount. • Buy only what you require, espe-

cially with fresh produce. For ex-ample, it’s pointless buying banan-as just because they are on special at $3 for two kilograms, they are not going to be consumed before they go black and mushy. • Try to cook one evening meal that will last two nights. Stews, cas-seroles and crockpots are perfect examples. • Avoid those tempting displays in your supermarket— just buy what’s on your list.

CURRIED LENTILS & KUMARA Lentils and chickpeas provide cheap protein and carbohydrate power. 2 tbsp canola oil 1 red onion, diced 1 tsp each: cumin seeds, mustard seeds 1-2 tsp curry powder ½ cup red lentils 400g orange kumara, peeled and cut into 3cm pieces 2 cups vegetable stock 400g can diced tomatoes 390g can chickpeas, drained 3-4 tbsp chopped coriander or parsley

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Saute onion, until sof-tened.

Add spices. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add lentils, kumara, stock and tomatoes. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Add chickpeas and coriander and heat through.

Great topped with extra coriander or parsley and served with plain yoghurt. Serves 4

SAUSAGE NIBBLES WITH SPINACH AND PASTA Choose well-flavoured fresh sausages for this recipe, for example minty lamb or Italian.

2 cups dried pasta curls or macaroni 1 tbsp canola oil 500g well-flavoured sausages 3 cloves garlic, crushed 400g can diced tomatoespinch chilli flakes 2 cups finely sliced spinach

Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat oil in a nonstick frying pan.

Squeeze sausage meat out of skins, making about 4 pieces from each. Roll into rough little balls. Pan-fry balls in oil for 6-7 minutes, shaking the pan so they cook evenly.

Q A&HOW CAN I TONE DOWN SOMEVERY HOT CURRY POWDER?Use less, or dilute with non-hot ingredients such ascardamom, coriander,cumin, fenugreek andturmeric. Or replace halfthe curry powder withgarammasala, which tendsto be spicy rather than hot.To decrease heat in a currythat’s already beenmade,addmore vegetables(particularly potatoes) ifthey have time to cook, plusstock, water or coconutmilk. Or stir in yoghurt atthe last minute. If eating atoo-hot curry, drinkmilk oreat a banana.

CAN I BOTTLE SQUEEZED LIMEJUICE IN THE SAME WAY ASFRUIT?Yes, either by the open-panmethod, or processed in awater bath. But either waythe juice needs to besterilised by heating, whichaffects its fresh flavour. Ithink youwould do better tofreeze the juice in ice-cubetrays (add grated zest if youlike), transferring frozencubes to a plastic bag forstorage. Lime slices andwedges can also be frozen,but once thawed the fleshwill collapse. Store freshlimes in the fridge.

A positive e� ect of the trauma caused by the Canterbury earthquakes has been the community feeling which has grown. “Streets have become neighbourhoods again,” says Neil Waugh. “We want this to continue to grow, building on the strong feeling of community which came amid the devastation.” We want to support the strengthening of families, neighbourhoods where people feel safe, valued and are connecting with each other. � ey recently arranged a Community Day for the Northcote area in the Northcote School grounds.

Reducing the injury risk

New Zealanders love their sport, whether it is competing in the Commonwealth Games or kicking a ball around the back

lawn.Players of any sport know that there is a risk

of injury and, if this does happen, the team at Muscle People can help you get moving again and back on to the field, court or bike.

Muscle People’s professional physiotherapists can not only help with an existing injury but also provide advice on how to prevent injuries and discuss ways to enhance your sports performance at any level.

“We can tailor a plan to help with a person’s individual performance to address any issues like strength, flexibility, breathing control or core stability,” says Laurie Moore from Muscle People.

Muscle People has two clinics conveniently

located at the YMCA in Hereford Street and at the YMCA at Bishopdale, where they are open late on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and on Saturday mornings.

Post-operative rehabilitation is also a specialty at Muscle People, says Laurie.

“By looking at specific exercises following surgery, recovery can be optimised so people can get back to normal as quickly as possible. Exercise can help patients to regain their strength, flexibility and functions.”

Muscle People’s physiotherapists are experienced in providing post-operative rehabilitation and can also liaise with the surgeon to determine any specific requirements based on the individual’s operation.

Common surgeries that would benefit from post-operative care by a

physiotherapist include shoulders, backs, knees and ankles. Surgical patients do not need a referral from a specialist to access exercise rehabilitation and post-operative physiotherapy.

“We do suggest, however, that people let their surgeon know that they would like to return for post-operative care at Muscle People,” says Laurie.

To book an appointment for your sports injury, to help with your performance on the field or if you would like to find out more about post-operative care, telephone Muscle People in the city on 961 0236 or at Bishopdale on 360 3606. More information about the physiotherapy clinic is available at www.musclepeople.co.nz.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof opening night

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the story of a dysfunctional family at war with itself, premiered at The Elmwood Auditorium on August 22. The themes of greed, repression, toxic relationships remain as fresh and relevant as when Tennessee Williams penned it in 1955.

Produced by Canterbury Repertory Theatre and directed by Annette Searle, the fi rst night performance kept the audience enthralled with the cast’s delivery of the wit, dark humour and sarcasm contained in this play.

Acted at fl oor level rather than on a raised stage gave an intimacy and contact with the players which enhanced the effect of the production. Feelings ran high among the watchers who responded with appreciative applause.

The 2014 ChrisTChurCh sanTa Parade

Sunday december 7th

In spite of having a world ranking more than 30 places below those he was fenc-ing against, Cashmere High School’s Sheldon Ogilvie proved he could compete with the world’s best at last month’s Youth Olympics.

Ogilvie finished ninth out of 13 fencers in the epée cat-egory, just missing out on competing in the quarter fi-nals.

He beat fencers who were ranked in the world’s top 20 to gain his place. Going into

the games, he was ranked 50th in the world cadet fenc-ing championship for 2014.

The 16-year-old is number one in New Zealand in the men’s epée category in the under-20 and under 17-year-old age groups.

He was one of 78 fencers from all around the world who competed at the second Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

“It was amazing to com-pete at the Youth Olympics,” said Ogilvie.

“There were only the best fencers in the world here.”

“I fenced well and came through better than I thought I was going to,” he said.

“The level of competition made me realise that I can never afford to make (even) small mistakes when fencing. Otherwise, when the time comes for you to be in a big international competition you will not realise that you are making a mistake and will be punished for it.”

Volunteers make a difference every day – from driving a van to simply knocking on doors to see how people are doing.

Volunteering is a great way to boost your own wellbeing at the same time as helping your community. Volunteering includes all of the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’: it helps us to connect, be active, take notice, give and keep learning.

Red Cross’ Cross Town Shuttle is a volunteer-run service providing transport for people in Christchurch without transport of their own and unable to use public transport. Volunteer drivers and assistants take people to medical appointments and leisure activities, helping to combat social isolation and allow people to continue to lead full lives, regardless of the impact imposed by road works and post-earthquake infrastructure repairs.

With plans to expand the service, Red

Cross needs more volunteer drivers and more volunteers to help with community outreach and door-knocking. Red Cross volunteers are a diverse bunch of people who come from a wide range of backgrounds.

Before Anthony Seumanutafa was a volunteer on the Cross Town Shuttle, he used the service to help him get across the city. “I find it to be a good way to help and socialise with people, and a way to say thank you to all those for their help – three for the price of one.”

This desire to help is what unites volunteers, says Christine Williams, outreach volunteer.

“We are able to give time, empathy, a listening ear and often some contact numbers for further assistance to enable the person we visit to continue to move forward.”

If you have a little spare time you could give, why not get in touch with New Zealand Red Cross now to find out how you could help make a difference too?

The Red Cross recovery team couldn’t function without wonderful volunteers who give their time to help people in Christchurch.

Adult Learners’ W e e k / H e T a n g a t a M ā t a u r a n g a

celebrates all adult learning whether it’s upskilling for a better job, preparing for further study, for improving life skills, working out your learning journey, learning how to organise with others, or having fun. Th is year, the week will be launched in Christchurch on September 8, with a focus on how the rebuild has encouraged women into trades. Th e launch, hosted by CPIT, will be held at the new Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre and will feature women currently undergoing trade training.

Th is country has a strong culture of adult learning, and every year tens of thousands of people take part in some form of community-based learning. Dr Jo Lake, Director of Adult and Community Education (ACE) Aotearoa, says many communities in Aotearoa have been transformed through community-based learning initiatives provided in and by educational institutions including schools, NGOs, community houses or on marae. She says, “It’s not just technical skills that are enhanced through learning. When adult learners share their stories, they talk about improvements in speaking, reading and writing English, understanding numbers and speaking Māori. Th ey also talk about benefi ts like better self-esteem, greater tolerance,

enhancing social cohesion, addressing ecological concerns, increased confi dence and improved career prospects.

Participation in communities is another outcome related to learning. Learners oft en want to give something back. Th e Government priorities for Adult and Community Education (ACE) include literacy, numeracy, English language (ESOL), te Reo Māori and sign language. Providers all over this country off er learning in these core areas and also in many others. Courses not eligible for funding are oft en run with experts contributing on koha or on a low fee, or totally voluntary basis.

Adult Learners’ Week/He Tangata Mātauranga is organised by ACE Aotearoa and is supported by the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO. It incorporates International Literacy Day on September 8.

Learning in your older years Aoraki Polytechnic

A practical training programme through Aoraki Polytechnic will ensure Virginia Smith achieves her dream of becoming a beauty

therapist.Th e busy mum is studying towards

her Certifi cate in Beauty Th erapy at the polytechnic’s Christchurch campus.

At the end of the 34-week programme she will open her own business from home.

Virginia said the hands-on course was providing all the skills she needed to achieve her goal.

“Th is course is covering all the bases. It’s a combination of practical and theory. And it’s really fun. Th ere is such a variety. We are learning new things each day,’’ says Virginia.

Topics covered on the course include massage, body and facial electrical treatments, skin care and makeup, waxing, manicure and pedicures, anatomy and physiology, and business and professional conduct.

Virginia enjoyed the practical side the most. During the programme, students had the opportunity to work with real clients, manage bookings and get direct feedback by running beauty clinics.

Aoraki Polytechnic ticked all the boxes for Virginia and came well recommended from

friends who had studied there. Th e timetable was also fl exible enough to fi t around caring for her two children.

Prior to having children, Virginia had worked as a dental assistant and had trained as an interior d e s i g n e r . However, the lure of beauty therapy was strong.

“As I got older I decided it was time to do something for me. Th is is something I really wanted to do.’’

Last year she completed the polytechnic’s Certifi cate in Beauty Skills programme, which is an introduction to the Beauty Th erapy course.

“Th at course was really fantastic and I got a taste of what the Beauty Th erapy course would be like. I realised I could handle being a mum and studying at the same time.’’

Virginia had already set up a room in her house as a clinic. Th e doors will open for business once she graduates.

Focus on the Middle East at WEA

Educating adults about the world around them and helping to increase understanding of international aff airs is all part of

the wide-ranging education programme off ered by the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA). While most Term 3 courses at the WEA are well underway two half-day Saturday seminars in September focus attention on the Middle East.

‘Th e Middle East, between Modernity and Traditionalism’ is the topic for Saturday, September 6, and will provide a brief historical background of the Middle East region since the emergence of Islam to the present day. Th e seminar will include the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century; colonisation and post-colonisation

leading on to contemporary history; and the adoption of modernity. Th e tutor for the seminar is Karim Pourhamzavi, a post-graduate student in political science and sociology at the University of Canterbury.

Th e topic for the seminar on September 20 is the BBC documentary In Search of Palestine: Edward Said’s return home, introduced by Karim Pourhamzavi. Edward Said (1935-2003) was a Palestinian-American whose academic works, especially his book Orientalism (1978) had a major infl uence on the humanities and Middle Eastern studies.

To register for these seminars or to fi nd out more about the courses on off er at the WEA email [email protected], phone 366 0285 or go online to cwea.org.nz.

[Edition datE] 3

In 1796 a community of American settlers in Ohio developed into a town. The elders decided to call their town Cleaveland, after General Moses

Cleaveland, a land surveyor who marked out the town’s boundaries.

In 1831 the town’s first proper newspaper was formed. The editor wanted to make a big splash with the first edition, so he proclaimed the formation of The Cleveland Advertiser.

There wasn’t enough width on the front page to put the big masthead type in one line, so he made an instant decision to leave out the first A in Cleaveland. No one seemed to notice and the incorrect spelling stuck to the newspaper and city it served.

“Checking spelling is always important,” said Brian Morris, Principal of New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. “Whether a mistake is deliberate or accidental, the impact can last for years.

“That’s what also happened to the town of Novi. When stage coaches rolled out of Detroit there were designated stopping points where passengers could alight or board the coach. The sixth stopping point had a simple trail sign ‘No VI’. Over time people who didn’t understand Roman numerals simply called the place NOVI.”

Fastidious spellers who want to become professional proofreaders and book editors should request the free information pack from NZIBS Proofreading Institute. Telephone 0800 801 994. One year of training

By Jack May

How a spelling error gave Cleveland its name

will enable Dip.Edit qualified people to work for publishers worldwide. Getting paid in NZ$, UK£ and US$ has its benefits.

“Being 12 hours ahead of Europe gives our proofreaders a huge advantage,” said Morris. “Publishing is a 24/7 industry. Our people get paid ‘overnight service’ rates even though they mostly work 10am to 2pm in New Zealand. This suits parents with children at school.”

Journalism training is also available.

Although many things have changed over the past 60 years at the Christchurch School of Music, the focus on fostering a lifelong

love of music has remained constant.Adult students are now an integral part

of the CSM community. Many of our adult students enjoy weekly instrumental, theory or vocal lessons, but we also offer fortnightly options or blocks of lessons to cater for students who are too busy to practise regularly. Our “Learn with a Friend” option is popular with adults who prefer learning alongside someone they already know.

At CSM, we encourage our students to play in an orchestra or ensemble. Playing with others is great fun and helps students to feel a part of our fabulous musical community. Our

range of Saturday and evening ensembles is extensive and varied, and include orchestras, rock bands, jazz combos, concert bands, wind ensembles and chamber music.

If affordability is an issue, CSM can provide discounts of up to 50 per cent through funding provided by the Canterbury Community Trust. Visit www.csm.org.nz or phone the office on 366 1711 to find out what we can offer you.

Adult Learners’ Week at the Risingholme Community Centre

Risingholme is proud to announce that the Risingholme pottery classes will host a group pottery exhibition during Adult Learners’

Week. The exhibition will feature SOUP can mugs, SOUP wall packets and other SOUP-related items.

The exhibition will be from September 5 to 7 at the Risingholme Community Centre.

Risingholme continues to offers a wide

range of short courses to upskill, sharpen the mind and meet new people and socialise. With a large pool of tutors, new courses are added through the year.

Miracle weight

loss fruit

An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit called Garcinia Cambogia from India and Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight

management and overall health. In fact many have found it to increase

fat loss by two to three times greater than normal. The Dr. Oz Show has said it is the most effective and fastest working natural supplement to support weight loss.

Even without exercise and diet changes many have found it beneficial, although even better and quicker results are often obtained with extra exercise and an improved diet.

The extract of this amazing fruit is called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax. Research has shown HCA to help suppress the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for longer, increase energy levels, help prevent fat from being made and stored in the body, increase lean muscle mass, increase serotonin levels in the brain that help

control mood and sleep (great for emotional eaters), improve cholesterol levels that may help reduce the chances of strokes and cardiovascular disease, help prevent sugar spikes as well as other health benefits.

It is considered a very safe supplement (although check first if you are on medication) as it has been used for centuries as a flavouring agent and digestive aid.

To obtain reliable results, it is important to take a product that contains a standardized extract of 60 per cent HCA and also take the recommended amount as used in the clinical research. Some supplements also contain ChromeMate, a well-researched form of niacin-bound chromium to help improve the results even more.

Glucomannan Fibre’s many health benefits

Glucomannan fibre is produced from the root of the Konjac plant. In Japan it is called the “broom of the intestines”. In the stomach, it

absorbs water and expands to form a bulky fibre. Then as it passes through the intestines and bowels, it has a gentle cleansing action helping remove waste material. It also appears to slow the absorption of sugar and cholesterol from the gut. In one four-week study of healthy men, glucomannan decreased total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides as well as systolic blood pressure. Notably, triglycerides (a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease) were reduced by an amazing 23 per cent. Some studies have also shown glucomannan to help control sugar levels in diabetes as well as insulin sensitivity.

Glucomannan has been shown to significantly improve symptoms of constipation and decrease fecal transit time, helping keep the intestines and bowels functioning well. This by itself may considerably improve health and help prevent chronic health problems.

According to Dr Oz, glucomannan is “one of the best ways to control your hunger, the best appetite suppressant” and “nature’s skinny sponge”. If glucomannan is taken around 15 to 30 minutes before mealtimes with a large glass of water, it creates a sense of fullness by expanding to form a bulky fibre in the stomach. You feel full without feeling gassy or bloated. One study of obese individuals who took a total of two to four grams of glucomannan daily resulted in

Arthritis New Zealand’s Annual Appeal is from September 23 to September 29. If you can spare an hour or two to assist with our collection, you can help us make a difference. Phone: 0800 663 463.

significant weight loss, an average of 2.5kg over an eight-week period.

When using glucomannan, it is essential to drink sufficient water, at least 250ml per one to two grams of glucomannan as it could possibly gum up your digestive system and cause a blockage in the esophagus or intestine. One of the biggest reasons for constipation is dehydration so drinking more is a good thing. Also it is best to start with a low dose and work up over a week or so to see how your body handles it. As a precaution, do not take straight before going to bed. If used correctly it appears to be an extremely beneficial supplement with numerous health benefits.
