St Albans residents want an urgent review of cycle lanes proposed for the Northern Arterial Extension.

The extension aims to reduce congestion for all road users enter-ing and exiting Christchurch from the north.

It would run between QE II Drive and Cranford St, changing

Cranford St to provide four lanes with a raised median and cycle lanes.

But the Shirley-Papanui Com-munity Board has asked for an alternative route to the cycleway included in the plan.

Community board deputy chairman Aaron Keown said using McFaddens Rd from Cranford St through to Rutlands St would be a

safer alternative.He said for this to happen

changes needed to be made on the section of the city council’s District Plan - which required all new major road plans to include cycle lanes.

Mr Keown said using an alter-native cycle route to the planned Northern Arterial Extension would benefit both drivers and cyclists. •Turn to page 2

Metro users in Harewood without bus stop shelters may have no option but to wait out in the rain.

Helen Cook, who lives in the area, said she had asked the city council why there was no bus shelter on the corner of Matsons Ave and Hare-wood Rd.

“There is one on the op-posite side - it would be great to have some rain shelter,” she said.

But she was told by the city council there was only a lim-ited number a year that could be installed.

A city council spokes-woman said shelters were not necessary at every bus stop.

“Shelters are prioritised by various criteria such as expo-sure of site, service frequency, shops and pharmacies, stop usage data, elderly/disabled requests and catchment areas.”

Placement of the shelters was organised on a priority

basis with higher-use areas holding higher priority.

But Harewood resident Una Atkins said elderly people in the area were struggling.

“The bus survey did us no good. It’s sad to see the buses around this way go – there are far too many elderly and low-income people to struggle up to either Wairakei or Harewood roads,” she said.

The cost of buying and installing a shelter was about $9000.

No shelters for bus users

• From page 1“Why the hell do you wanna

put cyclists where traffic is? Using the alternative route would not only be more direct than the main route and mean even getting the odd shortcut - we would get the cyclists off the main road too.”

He said it was a “better way forward” and a lot more stra-tegic for both parties.

“The road south of Innes Rd is a big problem because it is unfunded. It needs to be made into four lanes instead of narrowing it down to two - but you can’t because of the cycleway.”

He said the way the plan was heading now would only create a “nightmare.”

A decision on what would happen next would be made at tonight’s (February 2) com-munity board meeting.

In a report to the community board, a Christchurch Cycleway programme manager John Hannah said road cycle lanes needed to be included as a requirement of the city council’s District Plan.

“Any submission from the board will be responded to through the committee/coun-cil as required,” he said.BUSTLING: A cyclist makes his way along Cranford St, which is set

Plynlimon Rd residents having trouble with late night hoons may not see a resolution any time soon.

The road in Fendalton is 10.5m wide with no motor vehicles ac-cess through its east end.

And with no parking restric-tions, this provided a perfect spot for car enthusiasts to park up late at night.

The Fendalton-Waimairi Com-munity Board has requested the city council prohibit people from using the road.

But in a report to the com-munity board, city council traffic engineer Bill Homewood said restrictions should not be placed.

He said it would only shift the problem else-where.

“Trying to prohibit young drivers from con-gregating in this location will just move them on to another street where we will have the same issues in a different location, and this process would likely keep repeating itself,” he said.

He said parking prohibitions were not uncommon but restric-tions were not usually applied to residential areas.

“Any restriction to prohibit loitering would have the

unintended consequence of removing parking from residents during the evening, reducing access to the

park, and discriminating against people who have reason to be there.”

He said the issue is not some-thing that should be addressed with the use of parking restric-tions.

The city council had previ-ously asked residents what they thought about prohibiting use of the area between 10pm and 6am.

Most residents had said re-strictions were needed.

Community board deputy chairman Michael Davidson said it had been a problem for months.

“My view is that if the residents raise an issue it’s gone beyond the level of tolerance. There needs to be some form of controlled parking - whether it’s limited, or residents only parking.”

“There’s many ways to skin a cat here - if people are loitering in cars it tends to create a lot of problems,” he said.

Mr Davidson said he hoped a decision would be made at the community board’s meeting tonight (February 2).

New pre-schoolA new pre-school in Harewood called Poppies Preschool has opened in Gardiners Rd. The pre-school sets itself apart from others with a naturalistic approach. Enrolments are open now and an open day would be held this Saturday, February 7.

Merivale playgroundA group aiming to build a play-ground in Merivale has so far raised almost $6000 toward the project. The city council has told fundraising group Merivale Re-serve Playground it would match up to $25,000 if they can provide the funds by the end of February. The total cost to build the play-ground at the Merivale Reserve in Rugby St is $70,000.

Where did you go to university?While at Christ’s College I won

a scholarship to study music at Christ Church, at Oxford in Eng-land.

Did you study alongside any other well-known people at Ox-ford?

The same time I was at Oxford, Bill Clinton was there and I would have met him because I knew the Rhodes scholars very well and he was a Rhodes scholar. I can’t re-member him but he would have automatically been in the group that I knew quite well.

Among my wider friendship cir-cle was the maharaja of Jodhpur (in India) and various other odds and sods – the good and the great from around the world.

Who would be some of the most well-known people you’ve worked with as an opera impresario?

Some were New Zealanders such as organist Dame Gillian Weir, the soprano Dame Malvina Major, the conductors Sir William Southgate and John Matheson, the tenors Richard Greager and Patrick Pow-er and the baritone Barry Mora. I

have also worked alongside many well-known German and Scandi-navian singers.

Just before Christmas you found out France had made you chevalier (knight) of the Order of Arts and Letters. This is an honour that people like George Clooney and Kylie Minogue have got in the past. How do you feel about that?

It’s one of the most important in-ternational honours within the arts community worldwide so I’m flat-tered of course. I’m the eighth New Zealander to be awarded that hon-our in the order’s 60-year history and the first to be awarded it for work in the international opera world in France.

How did you first come to take an interest in opera and what drew you to it?

My maternal grandmother was part of the reason why I was named after the composer Hadyn. She was very keen on music and was herself a trained singer and loved singing. She was also the reason why my brother Brent and I were both Ca-thedral choristers. She loved Ital-ian singers and Italian opera. Even though there was very little opera that one could see when I was growing up, what little there was I did see.

The old New Zealand opera company always brought its pro-

ductions to Christchurch and my grandmother would take me to them. I knew many great voices of the past through records because my grandmother and I had a very good record collection. On Sun-day afternoons between the Cathe-dral services we would often listen to an hour and a half of opera sing-ing.

These opera singers, what are they like to work with? Are they a bit like rock stars over in Europe and are they prima donnas at all?

The New Zealanders certainly

weren’t. The New Zealanders were all marvelous people to work with. There are a huge number of great artists working in opera who are not prima donnas and if you are going to be working for them hopefully for 20 years and more you want to make life as comfort-able and as pleasant as possible so instead of spending your time with temperamental artists who might let you down and cancel perfor-mances on a whim, it’s much better first of all not to go looking for that type of singer.

Although artistically speaking I have great fondness for the Ital-ian artists. I avoided working for the Italian artists throughout my life because they have a history of living a theatrical temperament and I deliberately avoided working for the Russians because they are very temperamental, so I went for the sound and safe and trustwor-thy Germans and Scandinavians. I worked primarily in a repertoire which pretty much excludes tem-peramental singers anyway – Mo-zart, Wagner and Strauss. You are more likely to find temperamental singers in Verdi and Puccini.

What’s the biggest or most em-barrassing stage disaster you’ve seen?

The funniest experience I had in an opera performance was in Vienna and it was in 1970 in the 18th-century theatre within Schoen Brunn Palace. They were doing a performance of the Barber of Seville in which the whole set collapsed in the first act with the singers amongst it all. I wonder how they didn’t get seriously hurt.

The Lansdown homestead (near Tai Tapu), which is your home, originally belonged to Wil-liam Guise Brittan who has quite an illustrious history I take it?

William Guise Brittan was the very first person to buy land in Canterbury. There were settlers here prior to the arrival of the Canterbury Association, such as the Deans family. They were squat-ters, since no one could buy land until the arrival of the Canterbury Association. They began to sell

land from 1850 onwards and Brit-tan was the first person to put his money where his mouth was so he is in fact technically the first Can-tabrian.

The three acres around Lans-down House are famous for their heritage value. They contain the oldest exotic arboretum in Canter-bury, planted in 1859. That is four years before Christchurch’s Botani-cal Gardens, and six years before the arboretum was completed at Riccarton House.

How did you meet your wife (singer Dorothee Jansen, whose career he has also managed)?

A close colleague of mine had been to a workshop with the fa-mous soprano Elisabeth Schwar-

zkopf in Cologne. Amongst the young singers who were part of the workshop was Dorothee and he was bowled over by her brilliance and he wrote to me and said ‘next time you’re in Germany you have got to go to Cologne and listen to her’. Because I knew what his word meant, I went immediately to Co-logne and proposed management the same day as I first heard her.

You’re in your second year of doing the narropera festival at Lansdown House. Your first show this season is on Thursday. What have you got coming up?

There are four different shows in the festival and nine performances in all. The programme consists of three operas, each by Mozart, and

one melodrama, Enoch Arden, by Lord Tennyson. The latter is a Court Theatre production, pre-sented specially at Lansdown.

The operas, as chamber music, are given in an exciting new pre-sentational form, which we call narropera, literally narrated opera, designed to make opera accessible to wider audiences.

For each opera, we take between eight and 10 great arias (songs) and between them narrate the story, translate the aria texts and set the whole in its 18th-century context.

The performance group for the narropera consists of three musi-cians – one singer, one violinist, one keyboard player who doubles as narrator.

The non-music feature of the evening is the opportunity to pic-nic in the grounds and for that purpose we open the grounds 90 minutes before each performance.

This narropera, which you’ve in-vented, how did that come about?

Opera is so complex and one is well aware that the people who love it really understand a fraction of what they could about it. There are so many people who won’t even approach opera because of its inac-cessibility. That seems tragic and I’m really surprised that countries of great operatic traditions don’t address that question enough.

Why haven’t they invented a chamber music form or narrated opera? They simply haven’t had a pioneering thought.

I suppose we were lucky that we were prompted into doing it by the earthquakes which wiped out all the performing centres in Christ-church. We had this magnificent room in Lansdown which could seat 100 people and we had all the skills we needed to do such an eve-ning and out of that we acciden-tally discovered this format.

What are some of your interests outside of music?

My oldest passions are rugby and cricket.

Did you play them?I played them all through my

schooling and I also played rugby at Oxford.

Passion for harbour lures

After a break of about 20 years, Jonathan Manning, of St Albans, only seriously rekindled his interest in photography in April last year.

Captivated by the quality of images he saw from other photogra-phers he decided to resume shooting.

Lyttelton Harbour and Gov-ernors Bay are some of Mr Manning’s favourite places to photograph. Instead of fight-ing the bright lights from the port, he decided to try and use them to his advantage.

He says the modern digital cam-era sensors had been the catalyst for

taking photography to a new level in many ways. Combine that with strong composition, accurate exposures, then add ever-evolving software processing skills into the equation and photog-

raphy remains a beautiful art form.

“Typically, like most pho-tographers, I feel I still have so much to learn and even more I want to capture.” All of these ‘nightscape’ pho-tos are captured using a Sony

SLT-A99V digital full-frame camera with 14mm, 24mm and 50mm prime lenses, and a sturdy tripod. “I hope you enjoy them.”

CRYSTAL CLEAR PEACE: Gover-nors Bay lit by the moon on a clear and still early summer evening.

Papanui’s Past

BY CHRISTINE GRANT OF THE PAPANUI HERITAGE GROUP

Summer is the season for cricket and the men of Papanui have been swing-ing their bats in organised games since 1872.

A meeting to establish a Papanui cricket club was held in the old schoolroom at St Paul’s Anglican Church in October 1872.

A sub-committee was appointed to draft the rules and set a subscription.

For adults this was to be 10 shillings and six pence ($1.05) and for youths under 15 years, five shillings – (50c).

There were some very well-known Papanui names included in the list of play-ers: Matson, Wild, Jen-nings, Eldred, Dunnage and several Horners.

The season was to open on November 1 that year, with practice held on Tues-day and Saturday each week.

John Matson had prom-ised a set of cricketing equipment to the club that was to be set up on a pad-

dock near the railway line on Harewood Rd.

This was part of St Paul’s glebe land that the Rev. Moore, incumbent of the parish, had granted to the club without any charge be-ing made.

The first season ended in April 1873 with a married v singles game and it was announced the ground was to be laid down before next season.

By the cricket season of 1874 games were be-ing organised with clubs from Lincoln, Ellesmere, Waltham, Woolston, Ric-carton and Leithfield.

In August 1874, a special meeting was called after the Rev. Moore had left the par-ish, and the Rev. Brittan had replaced him.

Not known by the club, the portion of the glebe in-cluding the cricket paddock had been leased - with the club still using the paddock during the cricket season at a charge of five pounds.

This caused a lot of hard feeling and disagree-ment between the club

and the church.A meeting was held at the

Papanui Library in Sep-tember 1881 to form a new cricket club in which the other club was managed.

The new club was to be called United cricket club and would play on the rec-reation ground.

How long this club was in existence has not been found.

At the annual meeting in September 1887 it was pro-posed the Papanui cricket club amalgamate with St Albans club.

The proposal was carried by a large majority.

On September 24, 1899 the Christchurch Star re-ported a meeting was held for the formation of the Papanui cricket club to open their season in ‘Grant’s pad-dock’ on September 28.

It appears this attempt to form a club was not success-ful as another meeting was held in September 1896 to form the club.

The Papanui cricket club entered into the 20th century.

Poppies Preschool is located on Gardiners Road in a beautiful character villa nestled among a spacious rural setting where your child can interact with the natural environment of Christchurch.

This family operated preschool offers three separate inside and outside environments for your child to develop in: Nursery (0-2yrs), Preschool (2-3yrs), Prepschool (3-5yrs).

Poppies Preschool’s philosophy rests on the foundation and beliefs in sustainable practices to support the environment and teach children to understand and respect the world they live in. They aim to provide a homely, safe, caring, happy and stimulating environment and quality early childhood education that meets the needs and desires of children and their families.

Their Preschool area offers an exciting, challenging and natural environment for your preschooler to learn and grow based upon the early childhood curriculum called TeWhariki.

Your child is provided with the opportunity to experience a number of activities and learning experiences within core curriculum areas including play dough, water play, sand play, puzzles, carpentry, painting and collage, music, blocks, family play and physically active equipment in the large playgrounds. Within these areas they are also offered an emergent curriculum based on your child’s individual interests providing opportunities to extend development.

Poppies also offers planned group times throughout the day with age related activities. These include mini groups in the Prepschool with the older children focusing on preparation for school.

Each child at Poppies has their own profile book containing learning stories. This provides a record of your child’s learning and development which enables teachers and you as their parent the opportunity to

share your child’s preschool journey at both home and school. They also offer an important tool and resource for teachers in planning your child’s individual learning.

At Poppies the programmes are designed so that children can grow and develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. They believe in strong parent/teacher relationships as you both partner together to contribute to your child’s development and learning experience.

A new director of boarding has been appointed to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.

The school’s boarding num-bers are up from last year and are almost at capacity with the year 9 intake this year.

Treena Ruwhiu, well known to many families of the school, has been a senior and respected mem-ber of the school’s English Faculty since arriving in 2009.

School principal Julie Moor said while Mrs Ruwhiu would be a big loss to the English Faculty she would be a welcome and signifi-cant addition to the school board-ing house.

“Treena is very experienced and passionate about working with young people. She is extremely well-organised, consistent and fair, a superb listener and communica-tor, has a great sense of fun and is not afraid to try new things,” she said.

Mrs Ruwhiu would live on site on Hewitt’s Rd with her husband Jamie, sons Thomas and Sam and their dog.

The family would be moving into the city from Kirwee.

“Fun, friendship and inde-pendence are three of the most fundamental things in girls’ lives, and at Rangi, we ‘know’ girls, we ‘get’ girls, and encourage and foster fun, friendship and independence

every day,” Mrs Ruwhiu said.She has previously worked as

acting principal for the school on two occasions.

Over the summer break she was also one of the staff members who accompanied a World Challenge group to Costa Rica and Nicara-gua, having also been part of the first trip to Cambodia.

Mrs Moor said Mrs Ruwhiu had been very involved in school volleyball and football, and had also ran a research project looking at how the school could further develop the e-curriculum.

WELCOME: Rangi Ruru Girls’ director of boarding Treena Ruwhiu with husband Jamie, sons Thomas and Sam and their dog.

New addition forRangi Ruruboarding house This month St Albans

residents can look forward to having a new Saturday market.

The market will be held in the Beulah Church car park, Springfield Rd, beginning February 14 from 8am-1.30pm and run each Saturday.

The market holds space for more than 40 stalls and would be run on the same lines as the now finished English Park market.

Stalls included collectables, bric-a-brac, books, general household items, fruit and vegetables.

Market co-ordinator Paul Minter would be running the market in conjunction with Mark Hudson of Beulah Church.

He said local organisations which were trying to raise money could have their stall space free of charge.

The church planned to set up an indoor coffee shop to be open while the market was on.

Seating would be available indoors and outside the building.

People interested in holding a stall can phone Mr Minter on 356 3015 or 027 356 3017, or email [email protected].

FAREWELL: Christchurch residents have one final chance to say their goodbyes to the giraffes which have graced the city over the last two months. From 10am-4pm on Sunday, February 8 all the giraffes will be standing tall as one big group at Russley Golf Club on Memorial Ave.

Caitlin Bonne is only 14 but this didn’t stop her competing against Olympians last week.

The Papanui Toc-H Athletic Club member was selected to compete on the Young Olym-pian Tour through January with her final event in Welling-ton last weekend.

The tour is an annual event where some of the country’s most promising athletes are selected to compete at a num-ber of senior athletics events around New Zealand.

In her first event on the tour, held in Wanganui, she faced up against New Zealand Olympic javelin thrower Stuart Farqu-har.

The event was a handicapped competition with Caitlin having 43m added to her best throw.

The St Margaret’s College student finished just behind Farquhar but added 3m to her personal best.

Caitlin’s mother, Esther, said competing against a current Olympian like Farquhar was brilliant for her and just being

around professional athletes was great for her development.

Mrs Bonne said Farquhar gave Caitlin some coaching and tips while they were com-peting and he had a question and answer session with her after the event too.

There was a cash prize of $400 for anyone that hit the 80m mark in the javelin throw and Caitlin only came up 60cm short of that.

Mrs Bonne said that would have been a cherry on top but the experience she gained by competing in these senior competitions was invaluable.

Before the Young Olympian Tour, Caitlin competed at the Colgate Games where she won two gold medals in the discus and shot put.

Caitlin now has Canterbury championships at junior and senior level to prepare for before the season is over.

FUTURE OLYMPIAN: Caitlin Bonne, 14, has been competing on the Young Olympians Tour through January.

Students from Riccarton High School, St Thomas of Canterbury College, Villa Maria College and Kirkwood Intermediate School will begin the school term with a new bus service.

In December last year, Envi-ronment Canterbury introduced several new bus routes across the city.

As part of this, a special service was organised in consultation with the schools it serves to provide a scheduled and direct service for students travelling across the city to school.

The new services will take stu-dents across the city from the west side of Christchurch.

The bus service will also run close to Middleton Grange School.

As part of this review, three new school services were added, bring-ing the amount of school services to 37.

Every month in the school term 41,120 Canterbury students travel by school bus.

Students can pay bus fares by using their activated Cando Card, Metrocard or by cash, and can get on and off the bus at any stop along the route.

Metro’s website, metroinfo.co.nz contains maps, timetables, and additional information to help customers use the school services and the new bus network.

The 1963 British Golf Open winner Sir Bob Charles will be back at Waimairi next week playing in the NZPGA seniors pro-am after opening the new clubhouse there a year ago.

The pro-am starts at 12.30pm on February 12 and features another New Zealand profes-sional Simon Owen and Fijian professional Krishna Singh.

Sir Bob (right) said he was looking forward to playing in the tournament and having another look at the revamped course.

“I played in the same event last year and it was my first look at the makeover so it will be nice to go back and have another look,” he said.

He was worried he may be a bit rusty as he does not get out on the course as much as he

would like anymore.“I don’t play as much as I used

to and it doesn’t take long to get rusty at my age”.

The one day, 18-hole competi-tion is the second in a four-part series of senior pro-am events including Oamaru, Timaru and Terrace Downs.

The senior professionals will be playing for a prize pool in

excess of $10,000.Assistant tournament direc-

tor, Jo Emson, said the 40 professional players and 87 amateurs will need to have great putting skills on the day to cope with the speed of the greens.

The club’s greens are re-nowned for running at a fast pace and combined with some difficult undulations putting is expected to be challenging.

“This is the first time since the 70s that our club has held a pro-am event and the green-keeper has been preparing the course for several months to make sure it is in its best form,” Emson said.

The First Tee of New Zealand, a charity that teaches golf in schools will benefit from the day with an auction and fun events being held to support this organisation and a portion

of proceeds also being donated to them.

Being located in the east of the city, the Waimairi Beach Golf Club was badly hit during the earthquakes.

“The course has been re-designed to a style that in-corporates ponds and beachy wastelands, which will make for an exciting tournament because of the accuracy needed by the pros. With the loss of most of the trees from the course it offers spectators some good viewing options to watch play throughout the course.”

Spectators also have the op-portunity to win two rounds of golf and a lesson from club professional, James Oh, when they present a card or receipt from any of the tournaments participating sponsors.

Sir Bob at Waimairi

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

I can’t help but be a little grumpy about the number of miscellaneous fires our crews are having to attend.

Some of them are criminal acts and they are treated as such

by both fire crew and police.But many are nothing more

than people deciding it’s their right to have a brazier fire, to light a bonfire or to burn a couch.

This is the frustrating part.Because the news media is

full of reports of a dry, dry sum-mer. It’s well known that there is

a complete fire ban.And yet people still think it

doesn’t apply to them.There were three oven or

cooking fires attended by our troops this week and I was pleased to see in one, at an address on Harewood Rd, the occupant did everything right.

The oven contents caught on fire.

She closed the oven door, left it closed, and called us.

Inevitably the fire crew were able to report ‘out on arrival’.

Because the fire had quite simply been starved of the air needed to sustain it.

There’s no doubt that first impressions are lasting impressions and our physical

appearance is a crucial part of that.

From our clothing and accessories to our grooming, we are under scrutiny by others whatever the occasion. Whether it’s a first date, an interview

for your dream job or delivering a speech, it’s important to look our best.

One of the first things people notice about us is our smile – they can be one of our greatest features with the power to make or break that first impression. Now, thanks to Christchurch’s very own Sparklewhite,

improving our smile couldn’t be easier.As New Zealand’s largest teeth whitening

company, Sparklewhite now leads the industry in mobile cosmetic teeth whitening. Their aim is to add the sparkle to our smiles, and local operator Charmaine McFarlane, who is shown in the before and after photos, knows from her own experience just how significant a new smile can be after severe antiobitic staining took her own sparkle away.

“Off the shelf home whitening kits are

simply not designed to be on the teeth for long enough nor are they strong enough to absorb deep into the pores,” Charmaine explains. “Whether you have a poor diet, sensitive teeth, caps, crowns or veneers, we can customise a teeth whitening solution for you.”

As we are still in the middle of wedding season, this perfect for all members of the wedding party to guarantee beautiful smiles for the photograph album. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what could be better than a sparkling smile to show your loved one how much you care?

It couldn’t be easier for her clients. They simply book in for a 60-minute appointment, then sit back and relax. During the treatment, an LED laser light activates the gel into the tooth’s enamel through pores, just like the ones in our skin. “Over the years, stains absorb into the pores building up and embedding deep into the tooth. Because the stains are embedded, it’s not a matter of being able to just brush them off,” Charmaine says.

Sparklewhite can even rejuvenate existing caps and crowns, returning them to the colour they were made at, no matter how old they are.

Clients can rest assured that they are in safe hands. The majority of Sparklewhite’s therapists have dental backgrounds and all are fully trained. Because of their commitment

to safety, Sparklewhite is a founding member of the New Zealand Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Association (NZCTWA).

Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of whiter teeth, and with the accessibility of Sparklewhite, gift vouchers make a great option for that hard to buy person.

“It’s incredible to see people feel better about themselves, get their confidence back and get that sparkle back into their smile. It’s one of the only ways to look more appealing in just an hour,” Charmaine laughs.

Alakazam and Mullet Man at Arts Centre Market Space

Passersby who were looking for few laughs on January 22 were not disappointed when they stopped at the Arts Centre Market Space. Among

the performers at this year’s World Buskers Festival were Alakazam and Mullet Man. The veteran entertainers drew the crowd close and siezed upon unsuspecting members to participate in the street madness.

Under the blazing sun, they executed skilled and breathtaking moves which earned both laughter and applause. It sure beats sitting at a desk!

MONEY

Shake off holiday debt, start saving now

A new year, a new start and new goals to achieve.

How nice would it be if we could start the year with a clean slate — no debts and a few dollars in the bank.

If your finances have got out of hand with all the craziness of the holidays, here is what you need to do to get back on track. First, take stock of your financial situation.

Work out what is left of your savings and how much debt you have accumulated on credit cards and store cards.

List your short-term debts and add them up. Short-term priorities should be to pay off short-term debt and build up a savings fund to cover unexpected expenses.

Stop adding to your debts and split any spare cash between paying off debt and adding to your savings.

Having a savings fund will help keep you out of debt.

Pay off debt using these three methods.

First, list your debts according to the rate of interest that applies to the debt, starting with the highest.

By paying off the costliest debt first you will pay less interest.

The second method is to list your debts by size, start-ing with the smallest.

The theory is that pay-ing off some of your debts

quickly gives a sense of achievement that encour-ages you to keep reducing your debts.

The third method is to consolidate your debts into a single loan spread over a time frame that makes the repayments more affordable.

Set targets for paying off debts and building up a sav-ings fund that will allow you to enjoy the next holiday period without going into debt.

It’s simply amatter ofstretching your targets

RussellBellBUSINESS ZEN

IT’STHEMIDDLE of Juneand 50 per cent of the yearis already almost behindus. Time flies when you are

having fun and, for many of us,that’s what this time of year isabout—with the ski seasonalmost here and others lookingfor winter escapes.It’s also a good time to look

ahead and plan for futuresuccess. Strategic planning isan essential component ofsuccessful business and I havetwo plans— one formyself andone for the business— both areintertwined.Formany of us, our

businesses are a reflection ofourselves, so it makes sensethat whenwe plan for ourbusiness(es), they reflect ourown goals and ambitions.So, what are you going to

achieve for the remainder ofthis year?What are yourtargets? Are you going to letlife happen or take astructured approach?It’s important that you set

goals for yourself and yourbusiness that energise,motivate, aremeasurable andattainable. However, you

shouldmake sure that you alsoset some stretch targets.My personal plan includes

revampingmy fitness and hasmany stretches . . . and stretchtargets! I have resolved toexercise at least three times aweek. I did start this columnwith the ‘‘time flies’’ statement,but it seems that in that fitnesstime, I can create an ability toslow time significantly or stopit entirely.So I am going to dust off the

previously unused stepmachine at home. And I will seta goal of ‘‘stepping’’ aparticular distance each day.Given that the garage isn’twarm, there is incentive to getmotivated.The stretch target is to

make this activity daily. OK,not much of a stretch, but rightnow I am about as fit as a BigMac is nutritious.

The key to stretch targets isthat they do just that; theystretch you to new levels ofperformance and, likemuscleswhen you exercise, you andyour business develop newstrengths as you achieve them.I know it won’t be easy—

particularly starting fromscratch— but I want to beexercising every day if I can. Sowhat do you dowhen thingsget toughwhen pursuing agoal? Instead of giving up, youget energised. And although itis a stretch, I believe it isattainable.Oncemy fitness returns, it

will be a goal achieved, and Iwill have developedmoreconfidence andwill feel bettertoo.It’s the same for goal setting

and strategic planning— setyour targets so you knowwhere you are going andinclude some stretch targets.The benefits to you and yourbusiness will be exponential.■ If you would like helpimplementing stretch targetsinto your strategic plan, giveZenith Solutions a call on 3479997.

Get goodadvice beforeinvesting overseas

It is not uncommon for NewZealanders to have overseasinvestments.Examplesmight be shares in

foreign companies, foreign unittrust investments, foreignsuperannuation schemes andforeign life insurance policies.There are some pitfalls in leaving

these investments overseas.If your overseas investments

have a value greater than $50,000,they could well be liable for tax inNew Zealand. This is called aForeign Investment Fund (FIF) tax.There are a number of options youcan choose from as to to calculate itand youwill need help from anaccountant or financial adviser.Certain overseas investments,

particularly Australian ones, areexempt from FIF tax.Under current NZ law, an

overseas adviser who providesinvestment advice to a NZ residentmust be an Authorised FinancialAdviser (AFA) as determined in theFinancial Advisers Act.Australian advisersmay in some

circumstances be exempt from this

requirement. Exemptions also applyto wholesale investors, for examplethose whose investment assets are$1million ormore.If, for example, you have a share

portfolio of around £200,000 in theUK onwhich personalisedinvestment advice is provided by abroker, the broker will be in breachof the Financial Advisers Act if he orshe is not registered as an AFA inNZ. Youwill not have the protectionof the code of conduct, disclosurerequire-ments anddisputeresolutionschemesthat aremandatoryfor AFAs.Finally,

having assets in currenciesother than the New Zealand dollarwill expose you to exchange raterisk.Obtaining advice from aNew

Zealand accountant or financialadviser on the implications ofleaving investment assets overseasis highly recommended.

Kia ora,

The last year has been a challenging one for all of us in Canterbury. Taking care of ourselves and others means sleep, nourishing food and exercise. It also means taking care of our mental health. Being informed about the symptoms of depression can help us be aware of the key signs in ourselves and/or in others.

Feeling down, hopeless and empty? Have you lost interest in doing things you used to enjoy? Does this sound familiar?

These are some of the symptoms of depression. Depression is a common medical condition that occurs in every part of our community. How we are feeling and our mental health is important.

Depression can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. Depression Support Network provides community support for people whose lives are affected by the experience of depression.

Depression Support Network is a Canterbury community organisation that provides:

• Individual and group peer support• Advocacy and referrals to health and social services• Community education and information on depression.• www.depression.org.nz for depression self-test, fact sheets• www.thelowdown.org.nz for youth depression information and fact sheets.

Clients appreciate the anonymity and neutrality of the Community House, too. With so many tenants sharing the building, their privacy is guaranteed.

Meeting space in Christchurch is at a premium and is sometimes too costly for community groups. The

facilities at the Community House are not just modern and convenient, but affordable too. With seating for up to 50, the largest meeting room has separate access and state-of-the-art sound system with hearing loop, data projector, WiFi, electronic whiteboard as well as a kitchenette and outdoor seating area. The smaller meeting room is perfect for board meetings and also has a kitchenette. There are also three interview rooms for smaller gatherings. All are wheelchair accessible and supported by a friendly and welcoming team.

The central location, convenient parking and bus routes and guaranteed confidentiality add up to make this a viable option. Pricing plans vary so that the Community House Trust members and non-profit organisations pay less, but others can also book the meeting rooms.

The team at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool on hot days, either at home or at work. Enviro Master have been servicing

the Christchurch area for over 12 years, and supplies, installs and services all the leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs.

We currently have a stock clearance on 2.5kW cooling/3.6kW heating systems starting as low as $1,900 installed. These are ideal for bedrooms or offices, and there are very limited numbers of these systems available. We also have savings up to $800 off the recommended retail price on selected models.

Ongoing research and development coupled with innovative product design has produced a number of firsts for the Taranaki-owned and

operated company. Wood fires that can heat large homes up to 280 square metres deliver hot water via a wetback and achieve emissions less than a third of the National Environmental Standard (NES), using renewable resources and at a lower cost per kilowatt than most alternatives.

Metro’s commitment to research and development has seen the company invest in excess of $1 million in recent years in perfecting low emission clean air wood fires with emission ratings well below the NES standards of 1.5 grams. This ongoing investment into research and development is testament to Metro’s commitment to remain at the forefront of the wood fire industry.

Mr Butler says, “Our product development and passion to create cleaner, greener New Zealand-made wood fires has provided our consumers with a range of low emission clean air approved wood fires with tested emission ratings all below 1 gram. We have clean air approved models in our range that burn so

clean they are under 0.5gms.”With a range of over 20 models and a

further four new models for 2015 release, including wetback approved models, Metro fires are proudly 100 per cent New Zealand-made and the company is locally owned and operated.

Using the highest quality materials, workmanship and the very latest manufacturing techniques, they are proud to support the local industry and keeping Kiwis warm with cost-effective solid fuel heating.

“Now is the perfect time to consider your home heating requirements for the upcoming winter, and the performance and versatility of a wood fire is hard to beat. If you’re looking to build new or simply to upgrade your heating appliance, our nationwide retail network can advise on everything from appropriate heat output, wetbacks, installation, to things like hearth sizes, heating accessories and the model best suited for you.”

If you are rebuilding or repairing your home, Enviro Master can offer you a complete solution to meet your individual heating, cooling and ventilation needs. Many housing companies offer 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. This 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 efficient 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 benefits of cooling, dehumidifying and air filtration (great for people with allergies or asthma), benefits no other heating appliance can offer.

Ducted and multi-systems are becoming increasingly popular, providing climate controlled comfort throughout your home or workplace. We are also able to incorporate ventilation into ducted systems.

Cancer often is caused by the “bad luck” of random mutations that arise when cells divide, not family history nor environmental causes, say United States researchers.

The study in the January 2 edition of the journal Sci-ence was led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and based on a statistical model that includes many types of cancer in a range of human tissues.

However, it did not in-clude breast cancer, which is the most common cancer in women, or prostate cancer, which is the second most common cancer in men after skin cancer.

In the adult cancers they did measure, about two-thirds could be explained by random mutation in genes that encourage tumours to grow, while the remain-ing one-third was due to environmental factors and inherited genes.

“This study shows that you can add to your risk of getting cancers by smok-ing or other poor lifestyle factors,” says study author Bert Vogelstein, a profes-sor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

“However, many forms of cancer are due largely to the bad luck of acquiring a

mutation in a cancer driver gene regardless of lifestyle and heredity factors.”

He added that people who live a long time without getting cancer, despite being long-time smokers or heavy exposed to the sun, do not have “good genes”.

“The truth is that most of them simply had good luck.”

The team sought to look at cancer in a new light, by searching scientific literature for information on how many times stem cells divide over the course of an aver-age person’s lifespan.

This process of self-renewal occurs naturally in the body and helps to repopulate cells that die off in a specific organ.

Researchers have long understood that cancer can arise when stem cells make random mistakes, known as mutations. But the study represents the first attempt at comparing how many

cancers arise from this process, compared to family history or environmental factors.

The study found that 22 cancer types arising in 31 tissues could be traced back to random mutations.

The other nine “had incidences higher than predicted by ‘‘bad luck’’ and were presumably attribut-able to a combination of bad luck plus environmental or inherited factors,” the university says.

These nine types include lung cancer and skin cancer — which are influenced by exposure to smoke and sun-shine — plus some cancers known to be hereditary.

The findings mean that an even greater emphasis should be placed on early detection of cancer and on research that could detect these harmful random acts before they lead to wide-spread cancer.

DETECTION: Researchers understand that cancer can arise when stem cells make random mistakes.

Are you living with a long-term health condition that is getting you down?

You may benefit from a Living a Healthy Life course. These courses are for anybody with a long-term condition. Past attendees have learned about healthy eating, the value of exercise and how to relax. They have also learned how to manage symptoms and deal with pain better, and lead more positive lives.

The next Living a Healthy Life course will be held over six Tuesday afternoons from February 24 to March 31 at the Oxford Terrace Baptist Church Lounge in Central Christchurch.

Our body has a padding called cartilage, a protective spongy coating between all moving bone surfaces. A cartilage allows the

joints to move freely. A cartilage however is easily worn away or damaged with activity but is normally being constantly rebuilt. If the replacement and repair of cartilage slows down, the moving bone surfaces become closer and may start scraping together. This can eventually cause joint inflammation, pain and reduced mobility. If it continues the bone surfaces become rough and symptoms worsen. This process is called wear and tear arthritis or osteoarthritis.

Researchers have found certain nutrients may stimulate the body to produce more cartilage and also support the healing of connective tissue, ligaments, bone and muscle.

GO Healthy New Zealand has developed a highly effective combination of nutrients to support all areas of joint health. The formula called GO Glucosamine 1-A-Day provides well-researched nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, proline, manganese and vitamin D3 to support the formation of cartilage, connective tissue, ligaments, bone and muscle. It is known when the joints are inflamed they can be very painful, and this inflammation may also slow the formation of new cartilage. For this reason, GO Glucosamine 1-A-Day also contains an effective blend of ginger, turmeric and celery to help reduce joint inflammation and

For a good night’s sleep it is important to have sufficient physical activity during the day. Deep breathing helps relieve

stress, tension and worry improving sleep and health.

Try to spend sometime in the fresh air and sunlight daily. Walking with bare feet on the grass helps to earth us with nature and can be quite effective especially in the evening before bed to promote a good night’s sleep.

Nutritional supplements can be highly effective in supporting a good sleep by providing nutrients needed for correct muscle and nerve function and supporting healthy levels of brain chemicals that are needed to put us into a deep sleep and for relaxation.

Seniorsspecial

On the weekend of 20-21 February this year, the Mainland Big Band is celebrating 50 years since its origins in 1964. The Band began its life as a group of ex-Army bandsmen and supporters providing music for ex-servicemen and for charitable organisations under the name of 'Christchurch Garrison Band'. The name was a homage to the original Garrison Band of 1860. This new band was distinctive in that it included low pitch instruments and, uniquely in Christchurch and one of only 5 such bands in New Zealand at that time, also incorporated reed instruments.

Over the ensuing years, mostly as a result of a change in demand, the band evolved from a marching brass band of up to 44 members to a sleeker and smaller big-band style dance band. The Band played mostly in the Working Men's Clubs of Christchurch but also at a range of private functions. To match its new style, in 1984 the band adopted a stage name - the 'Golden Band' and then in 1988 the 'Garden City Big Band'. Failure to register this name as a legal entity led to its loss in 1992 and since 1993 the band has been known as the 'Mainland Big Band'.

The dance band formula is a successful one for the Band and, under the guidance of its long-term director, Terry McGowan, who arranges almost all of the band's music, it has a very large repertoire of popular music including big band and jazz standards, ballads, rock and pop favourites and show tunes. Terry combines all of these with a very comprehensive knowledge of dance styles and requirements.

The Band is holding a reunion for past members on Friday 20th February at the Riccarton Raceway and it would love to hear from any ex-members who would like to attend. On the following night, Saturday 21st February, there is to be a public ball also out at Riccarton which anyone can attend but tickets need to be purchased in advance as there will be no door sales.

Any enquiries can be made to Brian (03) 347 8950 or 021 037 5951 or Max: (03) 377 6542 or 0274 379 351.
