The emotion of the February 2011 earthquake is something that sticks with Kevin Carr.

Lieutenant-Commander Carr (right), or “Chalky” to friends, was named a recipient of the New Zea-land Bravery Medal today for his ef-forts in a 12-hour rescue operation at the CTV building on February 22.

The St Albans man led a team of five from HMNZS Pegasus Naval Reserve into the central city to help with rescue efforts.

He crawled repeatedly into tight, dark and smoke-filled gaps to search for survivors and kept going even after a portion of roof he stood on collapsed, injuring his leg.

But he says he is just one of many

who “pitched in to save as many lives as they could” and would do it all again.

“I’m in-credibly hon-oured to have received the award but also deeply humbled because there are hundreds and hundreds of other people who did extraordinary things that night but will never be recognised,” he said.

“My immediate instinct without a doubt was to get in and help as many people as we could.”

He said seeing the disaster unfold in his own city left the biggest im-pact on him. •Turn to page 7

Rose of Tralee National Final

The Rose of Tralee National Final took place recently at the Legends Lounge in Addington. The Rose of

Tralee festival is a celebration of the women of Ireland and the vivacity of Irish culture. Started 55 years ago, the festival attracts young women of Irish decent to County Kerry in Ireland to take part in the grand fi nal in August. Following dinner, the ball got into full swing; guests partied with true Irish fun and enthusiasm, dancing to the sounds of The Shameless Few.

A plan to ban right-hand turns from Normans Rd has been rejected by the community.

The Fendalton-Waimairi Com-munity Board last week went against the recommendation of city council staff to ban right-hand turns from Normans Rd on to Papanui Rd in peak traffic times.

The road has been causing prob-lems with left-turning drivers facing long waits stuck behind right-turn-ing drivers, delayed by congestion on the busy Papanui Rd.

A city council report delivered to the community board in March out-

lined dangers on the road.The report said some left-turning

drivers had resorted to mounting the pavement to get around the traf-fic, posing a danger to pedestrians.

City council staff had recom-mended a ban on right-hand turns from 7am-9am and 3pm-7pm on weekdays.

The measure would be enforced with signage, with a total cost of $600.

But the community board last Monday turned down the proposal and asked city council staff to look at options for narrowing the splitter island on the road, to allow cars to turn both left and right.

Community board chairwoman

Val Carter said the board had re-ceived negative feedback about the proposed turning ban.

“Residents are very, very anti us putting that no right-hand turn in, we do have to listen to the residents as well,” she said.

The community board received three submissions about the inter-section and Ms Carter said she had also received a number of phone calls about the plan.

She said people were concerned the left-turn ban would make drivers do a “rat run” through other streets to get to the central city.

Two of the three submissions sent to the board said removing the split-

ter island altogether would solve the issue.

A third submission, from cycling advocacy group Spokes Canterbury, suggested the ban should not apply to cyclists if it went ahead.

Ms Carter said city council staff would report back to the communi-ty board about options for changing the splitter island.

“We’ll just wait and see what they say,” she said.

“It will be interesting to see if they can actually do that, it’s still got to be safe.”

“It’s a little issue that’s become a big issue,” she said of the intersec-tion.

Normans Rd plan rejected

TOP OF THE WORLD: The St Margaret’s College team came out on top at the international future problem solving finals in the United States last weekend. Students Sujean In, Billie Leiataua, Madison Dalgety, Anoushka Chiswell, Petra Green and Sarah Cosgrove (pictured left to right), traveled to Iowa to compete as New Zealand representatives in the competition, against 2000 students from around the world. The team won the grand final of the presentation of action plans section on June 14. They were welcomed back to Christchurch by classmates on Friday morning. They were accompanied by teachers Julie Rogers (left) and Gillian Towle (right).

St Margaret’s girls successfully solve problems

Keown deputy chairmanAaron Keown has been elected as the new deputy chairman of the Shirley-Papanui Community Board. Mr Ke-own steps into the role after former deputy chairwoman Gemma Maslin stood down earlier this month. He was voted into the role unanimously by those in attendance at the meet-ing. Mr Keown also sits on the Can-terbury District Health Board. He was previously a city councillor for Shirley-Papanui but did not win back his seat in the October 2013 lo-cal body elections.

Project plans approvedThe Shirley-Papanui Community Board last week approved plans for a shared pedestrian and cycleway project between Rutland and Grass-mere Sts. The separated cycleway would be the first stage of a larger major cycleway called the Papanui Parallel, extending from Papanui to the central city. It would provide an alternative to using adjacent roads for cyclists and pedestrians. Funds for the project would come from the city council’s three year plan. A deci-sion about the pathway will now be made by city councillors.

No stopping restrictionsThe Burwood-Pegasus Community Board approved new no stopping restrictions on the intersection of In-woods and Mairehau Rds last week. The no stopping restriction was proposed to address delays for traf-fic turning right from Inwoods Rd onto Mairehau Rd, where queues of up to 10 vehicles have been observed at peak times. Parking areas on In-woods Rd prevent the left and right turning traffic from queuing sepa-rately, while cars parked close to the intersection on Mairehau Rd caused problems with visibility. The new road markings will cost about $500.

So how did this project begin?I guess it all started with a song,

which I originally wrote in response to the earthquakes. It never really went anywhere, and remained un-finished for a while, until I read a book called The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, which is the story of a young woman, Kamila Sidiqi, who secretly employed more than 30 women in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule.

One of the themes of the story was the amazing things that people, par-ticularly women, can do in the face of adversity, and the strength of people when they come together. I was try-ing to express similar themes in the song, and it reinspired me to finish it.

I sent the song to Kamila, just to say thanks for the inspiration, really, not expecting to hear anything back. Within 24 hours she had emailed back to say that she loved the song. After emailing and skyping back and forth, we came up with the idea of collaborating to create a music video for the song, and she got a local film-maker, Roya Sadat, involved.

So tell me more about these women?

They are both incredible women, who are doing amazing things in Af-ghanistan and have contacts across the world.

Kamila is a powerful enterprising

woman who is running significant programmes around Kabul. Roya is also based in Kabul, and she’s incred-ibly talented. I believe she was the first person to start a creative busi-ness in the city after the fall of the Taliban.

Roya’s focus is on empowerment of women through creativity, and she runs several film festivals in Afghanistan. She believes that this could be part of helping to create the new image of the Afghan woman.

As you got to know these women, what similarities have you discov-ered between their lives and yours?

A lot, actually. We have young children. We’re passionate about what we do. We believe in the impor-tance of empowering women, and how collaboration can create change. We think outside of the square, and we’re willing to take risks.

Of course, the risks I take don’t even compare to what they’re fac-ing. I don’t have a lot to lose at all

through this project, but they could lose everything.

That’s one of so many things that makes me feel incredibly humbled, and honoured, about getting the chance to work with these women.

I think I went into this with a degree of ignorance about the situ-ation over there. I read books and I watched movies about it, but it’s not until you make those real con-nections that your viewpoint really changes.

Has working with these women

changed your own work as a musi-cian?

It hasn’t – I think it has reinforced my approach as an artist. I’ve always seen music as a way to respond to things around me in an authen-tic way, and to connect to people through that.

I’ve always been interested in mu-sic and performance, since I was a young child, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I had the courage to share what I wrote.

I’ve done a bit of performing

around Christchurch. We formed a band a few years ago, Duchess Swift, and performed at a lot of venues around Christchurch which no lon-ger exist! After the earthquake ev-erything changed, and a lot of people moved or moved on.

Taipei Teahouse, the duo I started with Billy Mills, emerged from that. We spent most of last year writing music, and released our EP at the be-ginning of May, but the fundraising gig we’re holding [this week] will be our first live performance.

Musician Kerry Coulshed has spent much of the year working with two entrepreneurs in Afghanistan to create a video project. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about working creatively across borders, while juggling family, study and her own work.

A year seems a long time to wait before performing any of your music!

It is a long time, and that isn’t something we would normally do. But organising gigs takes a lot of time, and we thought, let’s just make some music, and really focus on the music. Now we’re really ex-cited to be finally performing.

So tell me more about Billy. Where did you meet?

Billy’s a really interesting guy. He’s doing honours studies in bio-chemistry at Canterbury Universi-ty at the moment, and he’s also an incredibly talented musician.

We met while he was working in a music shop about four years ago. We had a few days to find a bass player for a gig, and I went in there to ask if they knew of anyone who could do it. He said yeah, I could do it.

We’ve come together with quite different skills and backgrounds. He focuses more on the produc-tion side of our music.

Tell me about your experiences with past bands. What genres have you experimented with?

Oh, some of them have been awful, I don’t really want to talk about them! It has been mostly blues, pop, folk music. Genres are difficult to define, because when you sit down to write music you never really know what will come out of it. We define ourselves as indie-tronica, but that is more de-fined by the way we make our mu-sic than the way it sounds.

Tell me about the process of writing your music?

I’ll usually come up with an

idea, a couple of lines or a har-mony, with an idea of the sort of emotion I’d like to portray. Then Billy might come up with some chords, and it can all progress pretty quickly from there.

Sometimes we’ll end up in a philosophical debate in the mid-dle of the session, which is actual-ly how we came up with the name Taipei Teahouse.

I spent some time in Asia, and the teahouses there were where people came to connect, but also where politic leaders had histori-cally come to put their weapons aside and debate issues openly and honestly. Then they’d pick up their weapons and start fighting again!

That’s what we’re trying to achieve with our music. It’s not a collection of love songs, we’re trying to say something

through each piece.You’ve spent the last year at the

CPIT jazz school. What inspired you to go back to school?

The most amazing part of it was just being overloaded with music. I have a passion for learning all there is to know about music, and it has been a great experience. I’ve got two kids, so it is a big juggle to make it all happen, but it has reinforced to me the importance of following things that light your fire.

Tell me about your family.I have two boys, who are five

and seven. They’re awesome, re-ally active and creative boys who love adventures and are learning how to challenge and question the world. My husband, Mike, runs a business dealing with rockfalls, so he works in a lot of remote areas

and is an amazing problem solver.Have you always lived in Can-

terbury?No, I’m from the North Island

originally. I grew up in Hamil-ton, and we lived in Auckland for a while. We moved here about 11 years ago, mostly to get away from Auckland! We loved the moun-tains, and all the opportunities for outdoor adventure here.

With so much going on in your life, how do you fit everything in?

I’m also working this year, so it is a challenge. We don’t watch TV. There are enough hours in the day, but you just have to make the time for what’s important. These things, family and learning and creating, are all things that I’m re-ally passionate about, so it works. Sometimes it’s a bit too busy, but it’s really just about finding that balance.

So what’s next on the agenda for you?

The big thing right now is fun-draising for the Beautiful Beast project. We’ve got until September to raise $9000 for the filming. Pre-production is already happening over there, and they’ll have about 30 actors in the script filming across four locations.

We’ve got our first gig at the Dux Live next week, which I’m really excited about.

After this project, do you plan to continue to work with these women?

We’ve got no plans for further projects, but I would love to. This project has evolved so smoothly and naturally, it leaves me with a sense that anything could happen.

Past and present members and friends of the Rotary Club of Christchurch Sunrise came to-gether on Friday, June 13 to celebrate 25 years of service to the community.

The club, which holds early Friday meetings in Bealey Ave was joined by friends from as far away as their sister club in Frankston, Mel-bourne for the evening celebration.

The group has volunteered time to help thousands of residents with events including children’s entertainment, rugby car parking, film festivals, house auctions and telethons.

The club has provided community activities for youth, organising Rotary youth exchanges and being involved in courses in leadership and sciences, Outward Bound, secondary school speech contests and Special Olympics.

The club has also supported the set-up of the Rotary Club, a group of young people who

contribute in many ways to the well-being of our city.

More recently, club members have been in-volved in the clean-up of tagging from Christ-church buildings left vacant after the earth-quake and members were amongst the many helping to deliver food hampers and water to those affected immediately after the February 2011 earthquake.

Christchurch Sunrise has also been involved internationally in Polio eradication, the Tan-zania water project, a school classroom for Vanuatu, Pacific Disaster relief and help with the aftermath of the Australian bush fires.

The 25th jubilee gave the club the opportu-nity to celebrate their success and to honour several members who have had outstanding success in the work they have done through the club.

QUARTER CENTURY: Current Rotary Club of Christchurch Sunrise member Marshall Wright, left, is joined by outgoing president Sharon Woodings, past member Warner Barber and founding president Harry Wicken at a celebration of the club’s 25 year anniversary.

STORY TIME: Storyteller and historian Marga-ret Copland kept pupils at St Michael’s Church School captivated for nearly two hours with her dramatic stories of the lives of early Can-terbury settlers. The story session was part of a term study on the early settlers, with the students drawing parallels between the calls for pioneers to emigrate to the district and the current international recruitment drive to help rebuild Christchurch.

Once

upon

a time

• From page 1“We weren’t outsiders coming

to help, we live in the city,” he said.“The emotion of that tragic cir-

cumstance was very raw and that has stayed with me, we were all very emotionally invested in what we were doing.”

Having left the Royal New Zea-land Navy shortly after the earth-quake, Lieutenant-Commander Carr now works as the logistics manager for the All Blacks, but “wouldn’t skite” about his rescue efforts.

He has stayed a reserve with the navy.

He is one of three local heroes named as New Zealand Bravery Medal recipients today.

Station officer Paul Rodwell,

of Northwood, who worked with other firefighters tunnelling to ac-cess survivors in the CTV build-ing has also been named on the list.

Mr Rodwell lead a team of tun-nellers that found a small group of students trapped under a beam.

Two bodies had to be removed before the team could reach the three students, who were rescued by the team. A civilian doctor had to perform an amputation on one of the students before they could be freed.

Mr Rodwell was unable to use breathing apparatus or wear a helmet during his rescue efforts, due to the tight conditions and had to pass debris back along the tunnel because there was no

room to turn around.Tunnellers were ready to be

pulled out by their feet if there were any significant aftershocks.

Senior firefighter Simon Pay-ton, of Papanui, was also named as a medal recipient for his work at the Pyne Gould Corporation building, where 30 people were trapped on February 22.

Mr Payton spent two hours up a ladder with a kango hammer to make access holes into the build-

ing.He then joined three other

firefighters tunnelling to reach two women trapped under a bal-cony overhang, having to break through layers of concrete with hand tools and grinders.

The team tunnelled through of-fice equipment, furniture and de-bris to reach the victims and were unable to wear protective gear be-cause the tunnels were too small.

Mr Payton moved into a void beside one of the women to re-assure her as another firefighter cleared an access hole before she was rescued with crushed toes.

He worked in unstable and con-fined conditions under a constant threat of aftershocks for four hours.

St Andrew’s College year 12 stu-dents Alex Lye, Emily Wilkinson and year 13 student William Lu were all selected for the produc-tion cast for their performances at the Shakespeare Globe New Zea-land Sheliah Winn festival finals.

The competition was held over Queen’s Birthday weekend in Wel-lington.

Year 13 student Frances Camp-bell will also attend the workshop as the supreme winner of the Shakespeare music composition competition.

Fellow student Isaac Shatford won second place in the ‘music in-spired by a Shakespeare play’ com-petition.

The students join 46 others from

around New Zealand to spend one week of the September holidays rehearsing and performing from Shakespearean plays.

From the week-long intensive workshop 19 students are selected to study at the Globe Theatre in London in 2015.

Students will work with re-nowned theatre practitioners and extend their own performance abilities.

St Andrew’s College students received a number of top awards at the national finals held over Queen’s birthday weekend, includ-ing Alex Lye for Outstanding Per-formance in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Earl of Warwick in Henry VI Part I.

The cast of Henry VI Part I were awarded outstanding presentation from a history play and the cast of Macbeth received the best un-derstanding of sound and silence award.

The SGCNZ University of Ota-go Sheliah Winn Shakespeare Fes-tival has been running for 22 years and more than 90,000 high school students have been involved over that time.

WINNING GROUP: Alex Lye, Frances Campbell, Emily Wilkinson and William Lu have been selected as part of the National Shakespeare Schools Production.

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE: Year 13 St Margaret’s College student Kimberley Wood has won the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand/Morrison Music Trust Shakespeare music composition competition.

Year 12 media studies students from St Andrew’s College have produced their own children’s TV show.

The show, which has a cultural focus on China was produced as part of the students’ year 12 NCEA assessment using the school’s TV studio facility.

Students also used an outside broadcast van and set up a second studio in the St Andrew’s College preparatory school.

The show, called Fusion also in-volved 42 year 6 pupils and 33 year 3 pupils and a number of former students who work in the TV in-dustry who helped oversee the pro-duction.

While year 12 students were as-sessed on their technical skills, the junior pupils perfected new-found crafts, taught to them by Confucius Institute members who joined the show.

Pupils were taught about Manda-rin, calligraphy, Kung Fu and Chi-nese bracelet-making.

Year 3 student Jenna Howell said she enjoyed calligraphy “because

instead of writing words we just used one character.”

Classmate Victor Sherborne en-joyed learning Kung Fu.

“We learnt some easy moves and tried to remember the names. I also did paper cutting and made a snowflake,” he said.

More than 300 students at the St Andrew’s College secondary school take TV and media studies as op-tions.

Head of media studies Simon Williams said returning students who now work in the TV and film industry were valued highly by the school.

“It was fantastic to have the sup-port of these brilliant young people who began their television life with us when they were at school; now they regularly return to teach and support present students. I can’t tell you how much pleasure I get from this relationship, and how I enjoy watching their knowledge being shared with our current students,” he said.

Q&A: Year 12 student Catherine Kuyf interviews a member of the Con-fucius Institute.

Two teams from Cobham Intermediate took out the top spots at the Otago Daily Times Extra! spelling quiz on June 11.

Seventy-eight teams from across Canterbury took part in the competition with Cobham 2, Mary Stanley, Sarah Lawrence and Ashley Leng (pictured) coming in first and Cobham 1 coming

second after an intense spell-off. Two other teams from the school entered the competition.

The teams were coached by teacher Richard Busfield who said they performed “amazingly”.

The winning word that sealed Cobham 1’s win in the competition was “veterinarian.’’

Waimairi School scored big after receiving an ANZ netball grant worth over $1000, just in time for their school cente-nary.

The grant, which includes playing uniforms, balls, bibs and a gear bag, means the school has brand new gear to provide to their budding netballers.

Coach Danielle Donehue says the grant will be a real boost for the school.

“Our netballers have been playing in uniforms that aren’t up to scratch. The skirts are ei-ther too big or too small, have Velcro and pins all over them to keep them in place, have broken zippers and are all dif-

ferent colours. The bibs are even worse. Half of the letters have peeled off and they need to be knotted to stay on.”

“Our school is 100 years old this year and although the uni-forms aren’t that old they sure look it. We are so thankful to ANZ and our incredible com-munity for supporting us and making our special birthday year even more memorable,” she said

This year ANZ is award-ing $100,000 of netball grants to help clubs, schools, social teams and fans around the country get more from their favourite sport.

Scott Wood from ANZ

Avonhead says the bank launched the programme to help Kiwi netballers achieve their goals.

“The ANZ Netball Grant Scheme was set up to support all levels of the game, from social teams who play for fun, through to aspiring profes-sionals.”

“Waimairi School has a long and proud history in Christ-church. We are delighted to award them with this grant in their centenary year. I’m sure the new uniforms will have them taking the court with pride and leading the school into another 100 years of suc-cess,” he said.

GOOD GIFT: Waimairi School pupils Elsie Cunningham, Asha Morgan, Amellia Barrett and Lily Woodbridge.

Your KiwiSaver investment should be reviewed annually, and June is the best time to do this for a number of reasons.

The Government tax credit of around $521 is paid into your KiwiSaver account every July, and the amount you receive will be based on your contributions for the year ended June 30.

To receive the full amount of tax credit, you will need to have contributed around $1042 between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. You can make a direct contribution into your KiwiSaver account to top it up if required.

June is also the time to make sure the tax rate for your KiwiSaver is correct. By now, you should know what your taxable income was for the past two years, and this will determine your prescribed investor rate. The tax you pay on KiwiSaver is a final tax and if your tax rate is set too high you will not be able to get a refund, so it is important to make sure the tax rate is correct.

Every year you should review whether your chosen investment option is still appropriate. The difference between options such as conservative, balanced and growth is the weighting given toward income assets (cash and fixed interest) and growth assets (property and shares).

A recent survey of KiwiSaver funds by Mercer shows that over the past five years, the average rate of return for conservative funds is 7.79 per cent per annum, compared with 10.22 per cent for balanced funds and 12.27 per cent for growth funds.

Although growth funds offer the

highest rate of return over the long term, they are more volatile, which means that from year to year the return can vary widely and may even be negative. Choose an option that matches your attitudes towards risk and return.

Never lose yourwallet

EASYPEASY:Mobilewallets savetime andhassle.

In just a few months, consumers will be able to leave their wallets athome and grab their smartphone for a shopping trip. Lydia Andersonreports on the new mobile wallet technology

What is it?Kiwis are great at collecting

cards in their wallet, whether it’scredit, debit, loyalty, ortransport cards, resulting in abulky, heavyweight jammedinto a jeans pocket or shovedinto a handbag.Soon, however, consumers

will be offered the choice tomove those physical cards into avirtual wallet, stored inside asmartphone.It works as a downloadable

app onAndroid phones andusers can access their cards andchoose which to use, tapping thephone on an electronic paymentterminal inmuch the samewayas contactless cards such asPayWave and PayPass.A new joint venture between

key banks, as well as Vodafone,Telecom, 2degrees andPaymark, has resulted in thecreation of a trusted servicemanager (TSM).It provides the secure

infrastructure between banks,

merchants, loyalty schemeproviders, mobile phoneproviders and the consumer,allowing them to use theirsmartphone for payments.Similar models are already

operating overseas.TSM chief executive Rob Ellis

says the service will launch infull this year, although a datehas not been finalised and abrand name has yet to beannounced.When it does launch, many

consumers will be able to use theservice to pay for goods—effectively bypassing the need touse cash or traditional Eftposcards.

What can you use itfor?Ellis says amobile wallet will

be useful for a wide range ofservices, but will initially startwith payments.“What you’d have in your

[mobile] wallet is a digitalmirror card of your physicalcard you’d have in your wallet or

purse.” Other services such asloyalty scheme cards, publictransport cards like Snapper andHOP, and gift cards willgradually be added, he says.An additional aspect is

ticketing, where consumers canuse their phone as an entranceticket to a concert instead ofprinting a physical ticket.“You’d be able to scan it at

the door.”

How the future looksAlthough Eftpos has long

been the recognised paymentsystem in New Zealand, movestowards contactless technologylike amobile wallet could spellthe end of its dominance.Ellis says Eftpos could be

incorporated into the newtechnology but how or if thathappens is yet to be determined.In terms of fees, a mobile

wallet works the sameway as acontactless card, so consumerswould be subject to the samebank fees they now pay usingthose cards.

It’s no less secure than usinga physical wallet either, he says.“If you lose your phone you

think about it in the sameway asyou lost your wallet— you’d dosomething about it straightaway.”That includes contacting

banks and cancelling lost cards.“What’s important as well is

with a smartphone you haveother levels of security whichare above and beyondwhat youhave on your purse or wallet.”Users can set up PIN access

to the wallet in addition to theirusual smartphone PIN, Ellissays.“Over time I would see the

mobile wallet being central tothe lives of New Zealandersbecause it’s about convenienceand reducing our life admin.“If this is successful as we

think it will be, it’ll be just anatural thing for Kiwis to wantto use it.“It’s like Eftpos— 30 years

agowe didn’t know that weneeded it and now it’s central toour lives.”

Time to review KiwiSaver investment

Economic growth will keep rate hikes comingNew Zealand’s economy grew at a 3.3 per cent rate in the year through March, the fastest pace in eight years, supporting the central bank’s view that it must press on with interest rate increases to keep inflation at bay.

The economy grew at a 1 per cent pace in the first three months of the year, from an upwardly revised 1 per cent gain in the fourth quarter, marking three quarters of growth at 1 per cent or above, Statistics NZ said. Quarterly growth was below the Reserve Bank’s 1.1 per cent expectation and the 1.2 per cent expected in a Reuters poll of economists although the annual rate beat the Reuters forecast for 3.1 per cent.

New Zealand’s economic expansion in the latest quarter was helped by a 12.5 per cent rise in construction, which accounted for two-thirds of GDP growth and marked its largest increase in 14 years.

Last week, the Reserve Bank hiked the official cash rate by a quarter point to 3.25 per cent and said the economy’s expansion had “considerable momentum”, raising its estimate for growth in the first half of the year to 4 per cent from 3.5 per cent.

“While the headline was a bit

softer than we or the Reserve Bank had expected, taking revisions to previous quarters into account, today’s result still suggests that the economy had developed considerable momentum at the start of the year,” Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon said in a note.

“Today’s numbers will do nothing to dissuade the Reserve Bank from its intention to continue hiking the OCR in its July review.”

New Zealand’s central bank is expected to deliver another two rate rises this year, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

HEALTHY: New Zealand’s economic expansion in the latest quarter was helped by a 12.5 per cent rise in construction.

Enterprising young bakers raise money for charityWith assistance from parents, enterprising Year 2 pupils of Cathedral Grammar School have been busy baking and decorating cup cakes for the purpose of raising funds for Ronald McDonald House.The children set up shop to sell these delicious creations to staff and pupils at school on Tuesday 10th June.

The outstanding efforts of these young entrepreneurs raised a grand total of $1045.60! This was an excellent learning opportunity for the children and a great way to support the community.

Cathedral Grammar School has a strong link with Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House is a charity which provides accommodation and support for families who have relocated from

out-of-town to be with mothers, fathers or children who are long-term patients at Christchurch Hospital.

Every year, the children of one or two families join Cathedral Grammar School to continue their education while staying at Ronald McDonald House on Montreal Street.

Most of us who don’t hold good posture throughout the day su� er from aches and pains. Holding proper posture

makes us feel more con� dent and reduces the likelihood of back/neck discomfort and injury. When we have poor posture, this can lead to tension, fatigue and pain, and cause wear and tear on your joints.

At Form Fitness, the expert team can work with you to improve your posture by designing a personalised corrective exercise programme speci� cally for you to eliminate these problems.

“Optimal posture is when the body is fully aligned where there is little stress on the joints and nerves, and muscles work in synergy with each other. Achieving this balance is crucial to reaching your goals, whatever they are,” says Janelle from Form Fitness.

Along with poor posture, muscle imbalances can also be a common precursor to injury. When the body’s muscles aren’t working in synergy with each other, it puts more stress on the compensating muscles and eventually leads to wear and tear of the joints.

“Lower back pain is an example and commonly caused by poor posture. In most cases, by identifying the imbalances present and correcting them, the pain associated with injury goes away and the body is able to heal itself.”

� e team at Form Fitness undertake a full postural and muscle imbalance assessment, including strength and � exibility testing, before designing your individual exercise programme to ensure they have a full understanding of how your body is functioning and can design a speci� c programme to target your strengths and weaknesses.

“By incorporating corrective exercise into

your training regime and improving your body’s awareness, we reduce the stress on your structure and decrease the likelihood of injury so you can reach your potential faster and do the things you want to, pain-free.”

� ere are no membership costs or joining fees at Form Fitness - you only pay for your trainer’s time. � e studio is located in the heart of Beckenham and is equipped with high quality equipment and all you need to succeed and reach your � tness aspirations.

NICI WICKES’ PORK LEG ROASTED WITH APPLE, FENNEL & CRACKLE Roasting whole apples along with your pork roast is a great way to create a truly delicious apple sauce, and everyone knows nothing beats a pork roast with crackling!

INGREDIENTS 2.5-2.8kg leg pork, bone in, skin on and scored (get your butcher to do this) 1/4 cup olive oil2 tsp sea salt 2 tsp fennel seeds 2 tbsp chopped rosemary 4-6 cloves of garlic 2 large onions, peeled and quar-tered 1 and 1/2 cups Selaks Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 8-10 small Granny Smith apples (or one per person)Salt and pepper to season gravy

METHOD Set the oven to 250 deg C. Rub skin and the flesh of pork with olive oil, salt, fennel seeds and chopped rosemary.

Place in a roasting dish large enough so there’s room for the whole apples part way through cooking. Roast at a high heat to get the crackle started—be patient, this can take up to 45 minutes before it is browned and blistered enough to make great crackling. Keep an eye on it to ensure it crackles but doesn’t burn.

Reduce the oven temperature to 180 deg C. Add one cup of the wine to dish, scatter onions and garlic cloves around pork, then cover with foil and cook for 60 minutes.

Using a sharp knife, score apples around the ‘‘waist’’ to stop them bursting while cooking.

Remove roasting dish from oven

and remove foil (carefully to avoid steam burns).

Add the apples to dish, baste each one with roasting juices and add a sprinkle of salt.

Continue cooking for a further 30 minutes, uncovered, until apples and pork are cooked through. The crack-ling will crisp up again during this time, too.

Prick meat with a sharp knife. If juices run clear, it’s done; if not, pop it back in oven for 10-15 minutes.

Remove from oven and remove pork and apples carefully from roast-ing dish. Set aside so pork can rest for 10 minutes while you make gravy.

To make gravy, pour away most of the fat from the roasting dish and add remaining half cup of white wine. Simmer until liquid has re-duced by half. Add half a cup of wa-ter and scrape all the gooey goodness off the bottom of the roasting dish, simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pass this through a sieve into a serving jug.

Serve sliced pork with cooked ap-ples, shredded red cabbage coleslaw and gravy.

Christchurch Intermediate Schools

Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education

ENQUIRIES WELCOME

This is a great opportunity to

see Intermediates in action

Intermediates are exciting places for students to

begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition

to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-years-

specific curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and

rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many

interest groups and clubs.

It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas

research concludes that the quality of teaching is

one of the most significant factors influencing how

well students learn at school. Given that quality

teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools

regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider

other factors that might make a difference for early

adolescents.

The young people at intermediates are changing

rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.

Intermediates focus solely on this age group and

are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix

of specialist and home room teachers helps to

provide the choices, challenge, love for practical

activities and academic rigour in the students’

learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that

is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent

student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist

students to develop and find strengths and links

learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are

focussed solely on the middle years are able to work

collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging

programmes that connect learning to students’ lives

and interests and provide challenge for all students

to achieve to the best of their ability.

Current intermediate school students list these

points:

1. “There are more children of my own age here

because our school takes all the year sixes from a

few different schools and they come to one school.

And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils

we can have more sports teams and … there’s

something for everyone” Y8 child

2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for

subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we

get used to that – which is good preparation for

secondary school” Y7 girl

3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two

years (age group).” Y8 girl

4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little

children. That was neat at our old (primary) school

but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy

5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids

here. We can worry about them when we’re older…

and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

Avocado sandwichesServes 1 We all love a BLAT sammie. Make a more refined offering by grilling streaky bacon and finely slicing avo-cado (cut avocado needs lemon juice over it to stop it browning).

INGREDIENTS1 Tbsp Mayonnaise1 to taste Chilli1 splash Worcestershire sauce2 slices Multigrain bread2 slices Streaky bacon, finely chopped¼ AvocadoDIRECTIONSMix some butter, mayo and a little chilli and Worcester sauce in your blender to cream it.

Spread on a light-grained bread. Cover with the sliced avocado and the finely chopped grilled bacon and make a sandwich.

Cut off the crusts and then cut sandwiches into quarters. Serve as a pass-around or with a pre-dinner drink.

FOODSwedish cinnamon rollsIf you only make one yeasty scroll, make it this yeasty scroll. Scalding the milk gives a particularly soft, pillowy result, and the cardamom lends the cinnamon a whole extra dimension. Makes 24.

DOUGH300ml Milk120g Butter3 tsp Active dried yeast750g Plain flour½ cup Sugar1 tsp Salt2 tsp Ground cardamom1 Egg, beatenFILLING⅓ cup Sugar100g Butter, softened2 Tbsp CinnamonGlaze1 Egg2 Tbsp Water1 Sugar, to sprinkle

DIRECTIONSBring milk almost to boil, then pour into a bowl and stir in the butter until melted. When this mixture is lukewarm, whisk in the yeast to dissolve. Add remaining dough in-gredients to a mixer bowl and pour in the yeast mixture. Using dough hook, knead at a slow speed for 10

minutes to make a soft ball of dough (adjust with a little water or flour if dough is too stiff or too sticky). Cov-er dough and leave to rise at room temperature for an hour.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 50cm x 20cm rec-tangle. Spread softened butter evenly over dough, then mix sugar and cin-namon together and sprinkle evenly over the butter.

Starting with the long edge, roll up the dough into a scroll. Cut into about 24 even pieces. Place each roll,

cut side up, in a paper-lined large muffin tin. Cover with a clean cloth and allow to prove for up to an hour or until doubled in size.

Beat egg with water and brush tops of rolls to glaze. Sprinkle with some sugar. Bake at 200 deg C for 30 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack. Serve with coffee.

NoteRolls can also be arranged in 2x pa-per-lined brownie pans. Baking will take about 50 minutes.

Köttbullar (Swedish meatballs)Serves 4

INGREDIENTS75g Breadcrumbs, dried125ml Milk1 Onion, small, finely diced1 Olive oil, or another oil, for cook-ing500g Beef mince, lean250g Pork mince1 Egg, beaten1 tsp Allspice30g Butter300ml Beef stock75ml Cream4 servings Flat leaf (Italian) pars-ley, roughly chopped, to garnishDIRECTIONSSoak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile, gently sweat the onion in a dash of

oil, just to soften.Nest mix together breadcrumb

mixture, onion, mince, egg and all-spice to combine well, seasoning generously with white pepper and salt. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor, then pulse a little until mixture has a slightly finer texture.

Gently roll to form 3cm diameter meatballs. Place on a clingfilm-lined plate and chill for 20 minutes before cooking.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan and add meatballs. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, shak-ing pan frequently so that meatballs brown all over. Remove meatballs to a plate and keep warm in a low oven.

Add butter to the same pan, and allow it to foam before adding stock. Stir over medium heat and add cream. Bring to boil, then serve. Serve meatballs and sauce with mashed potato, steamed greens and a good scattering of parsley.

Seasonal fruit tartFor an even faster version, use fro-zen pastry.

INGREDIENTS125g butter1 level cup plain flour½ cup icing sugar

3-4 large tamarillos1 tbsp ground almonds1 tbsp sugar1 tbsp honeyNatural yoghurt or vanilla ice cream, to serve

DIRECTIONSIn a food processor, place the flour,

icing sugar, and the butter (ensur-ing it’s cold) cut into chunks. Process until it binds together. Knead it a lit-tle on the bench, then wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Roll out the pastry into a rough circle. Mix together the almonds and sugar and sprinkle on the pasty, leaving

about a 2cm-edge.Slice the tamarillos into 1cm-thick

slices widthways and arrange over the almond mixture. Roughly fold up the edges of the pastry to make a rustic edge.

Bake for about 25 minutes until golden. Serve drizzled with a little honey and yoghurt or just ice cream.

Scientists exploring the obscure world of human proteins have uncovered a large number no one knew existed.

Regions of DNA not pre-viously thought to code for proteins produced 193 novel molecules, whose functions remain a mystery.

The findings suggest that the human genome, or genetic code, is much more complex than had been assumed.

The early first draft of the “proteome”, the complete protein catalogue, includes proteins encoded by 17,294 genes — 84 per cent of all the known genes in the body.

Proteins are complex organic molecules respon-sible for the vast array of life processes. They act as building blocks of living tissue, drivers of countless chemical reactions, and a fuel source.

Genes are stretches of DNA containing sequences of chemicals that provide the coded “instructions” for proteinmaking cell machin-ery.

Although science has made a great deal of headway unravelling the secrets of DNA, it has only scratched the surface of pro-teins.

Professor Akhilesh Pandey, from Johns Hopkins University in the US, who led the new research report-ed in the journal Nature, says: “You can think of the human body as a huge library where each protein is a book.

“The difficulty is that we don’t have a comprehensive catalogue that gives us the

titles of the available books and where to find them. But we think we now have a good first draft.”

The research team began by taking samples of 30 tis-sues, extracting their pro-teins, and using enzymes as “chemical scissors” to cut them into smaller pieces.

The fragments, called peptides, were then run through a series of instru-ments designed to identify them and measure their abundance.

Many proteins were char-acterised for the first time, including some never pre-dicted.

The most unexpected finding was that 193 of these molecules could be traced

to supposedly non-coding regions of DNA.

“This was the most excit-ing part of this study, find-ing further complexities in the genome,” says Professor Pandey.

“The fact that 193 of the proteins came from DNA sequences predicted to be noncoding means that we don’t fully understand how cells read DNA, because clearly those sequences do code for proteins.”

He thought scientists would never finish catalogu-ing the proteome because it was so extensive and com-plex.

But the new work provid-ed a “solid foundation” for other researchers. — AAP

HEALTH

DNA more complex than first thought

BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists have uncovered a large number of human proteins no one knew existed.

Women who have their babies less than a year apart are twice as likely to give birth prematurely, a new study suggests.

About one in five mothers whose babies are born less than 12 months apart will give birth to their babies before they reach 37 weeks of pregnancy—also classed as a pre-term birth.

This compared with just 7.7 per cent of mothers who wait for the “optimal” time of 18 months or more between children.

Babies born prematurely can suffer a range of problems— generally the earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of health issues.

The US study, published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology,

examined 450,000 births from women who had two or more pregnancies during a six-year period in Ohio.

They found that mothers with “inter-pregnancy intervals” of less than 18 months were more likely to give birth before 39 weeks of pregnancy than those who waited longer between children.

More than half of those who had an IPI of less than 12 months had their babies before 39 weeks compared with 37.5

per cent of those who had an “optimal IPI”, the authors said.

They said women should be counselled on the importance of “optimal birth space”.

“Short inter-pregnancy interval is a known risk factor for pre-term birth, however this new research shows that inadequate birth spacing is associated with shorter overall pregnancy duration,” said study co-author Emily DeFranco, assistant professor of maternal fetal medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Ohio.

“This study has a potential clinical impact on reducing the overall rate of pre-term birth across the world through counselling women on the importance of adequate birth spacing.” — AAP •More health, p25

Love right and followpassionPeople canmake their ownchoices toachievehappiness,writes SarahWiedersehn

IT’S ABOUT YOU: Marry a caring person and give to others and you will be happy.

"The key tohappiness is tohave thosepositive caringrelationshipswith others."Dr Jean Twenge

TRUMPET playerextraordinaire JamesMorrison believesfinding your passionwill lead to happiness.

Morrison uncovered hispassion at a very young age andspoke about his love of jazzmusic at the Happiness & ItsCauses conference in Sydney.Indigenous artist Gail Mabo

also discovered her source ofhappiness at a young age.The daughter of late land

rights activist EddieMabo is arespected artist andchoreographer.One of seven children, Gail

Mabo says her father inspiredher to dance.Mabo says dance and

painting take her to a “happyspace”.But what do amonk and

leading psychologists say abouthappiness and how to achieve it?ProfessorMihaly

Csikszentmihalyi is a pioneeringresearcher and best-sellingauthor of Flow: The Psychologyof Optimal Experience, theclassic work on how to achievehappiness.Csikszentmihalyi says too

many people are caught upworrying about what everyoneelse is doing and go through lifenever really questioning whothey are, what they like to doandwhat they are good at.“And so they end up kind of

twisted out of shape and notreally happy,” he says.“You have to learn to figure

out what feels good to you, interms of what youwould like todo for the rest of your life, whatmakes life meaningful. You canthen perhaps craft a life that youfeel good about.”Matthieu Ricard, a French-

born Buddhist monk from theShechenMonastery in Nepal,has worked as an interpreter tothe Dali Lama and is the best-selling author ofHappiness: AGuide to Developing Life’s MostImportant Skill.

Bemore altruistic—whatreallymatters is howwe care forothers, Ricard says.“The quality of social

network is not just measured byhowmany people you knowsocially, it’s based on thenumber of people onwhom youcan count, of whom you can askadvice, the people you can trust.“It’s giving and receiving not

just a commercial exchange offavours. It’s care, helping eachother, the joy of co-operation.“We are now seven billion

people deciding the fate ofbillions of billions of generationsto come, so we cannot say thatthis is not our job, it’s not ourresponsibility.”Dr Jean Twenge is professor

of Psychology at San Diego StateUniversity and co-author of TheNarcissism Epidemic: Living inthe Age of Entitlement.Don’t marry a narcissist—

relationships are one of themostimportant keys to truehappiness, says Twenge.Twenge says it’s a smart

move to think about narcissismwhen it comes to partners.“Unfortunately, narcissists

are not good at relationships.They are not good at connecting

with others; caring andcompassion is not really theirthing. That tends tomean in thelonger term they are isolatedand unhappy.“In the short term, people in a

relationship with a narcissistsay it’s great. They’re confident,they’re fun to be with but aboutthreemonths in you suddenlyrealise that person doesn’tactually care about you. It’s allabout them.“The key to happiness is to

have those positive caringrelationships with others. Thosefriends and family and socialsupport is what life is all about.”Professor Roy Baumeister,

the social psychologist who

wroteNewYork Times best-sellerWillpower: Rediscoveringthe Greatest Human Strength,says willpower is one of the keysto finding happiness. He saysplenty of research shows peoplewith good self control arehappier andmore satisfied.“They aremore successful,

more popular, have bettermental health, better physicalhealth, better behaviour, lessstress, longer life. All thosethings go with the good life.”Baumeister says you can

strengthen your self controlevery day and advises parents tostart teaching this skill early onin life.“Start making changes in

your life. Start small, find someminor things that bothers you ormakes you unhappy and changethat. Then once you’vemadethat change then identifyanother. Big things like getting adivorce or quitting smoking, putthose off for a little bit build upyour self control strength.“Forget about self esteem,

concentrate on self control. It’sthe best gift you can give yourchild. It makes them a betterperson and is better for society.”

Newhopein cholerascourge

"Shanchol is lessexpensive andeasier to storethan anotherleading vaccine."

A cheap and easy-to-deliveroral vaccine against cholera is 86per cent effective in preventingthe infection, which causessevere diarrhoea and can befatal, researchers say.About 1.4 billion people

around the globe were at risk forcholera in 2012, says theWorldHealth Organisation (WHO).Cholera is caused by Vibrio

cholerae bacteria, which canspread through the water supplyin places where sanitation andhygiene are poor.The study in last month’s

NewEngland Journal ofMedicinewas the first tomeasure the effectiveness of avaccine Shanchol in response toa cholera outbreak under fieldconditions, in Guinea.Previously, the vaccine had beentested only under experimentalconditions in India.The research in Guinea, by

DoctorsWithout Borders(Medecins Sans Frontieres),involvedmore than 300,000doses of the two-dose vaccine,administered during a choleraoutbreak in 2012. It was 82 to 86per cent effective, and had few

side effects.However, researchers were

unable to compare one versustwo doses in preventing cholera,and it remains unknown howlong the vaccine can remaineffective at room temperature.“Furthermore, can Shanchol

be used in pregnancy and inchildren younger than 1 year ofage?” asked a pair of doctors inHaiti and the United States, in anaccompanying article.“AlthoughWHO

recommendations suggesttargeting pregnant women athigh risk for cholera, themanufacturer has not approveduse of the vaccine in pregnancy,and there are no guidelines forchildren under 1 year old.”Three cholera vaccines are

currently on the worldmarket.Shanchol is less expensive andeasier to store than anotherleading vaccine, Dukoral, andthe two are comparable in termsof effectiveness.Shanchol costs US$1.85 ($2.15)

a dose, compared to Dukoral atUS$5.25. Bothmay offer someprotection against cholera for upto five years.TheWorld Health

Organisation has approved twovaccines for UN agencies to buy.A third vaccine, mORC-VAX, islicensed and produced only inVietnam.More than 1.6 milliondoses of Shanchol have beendistributed worldwide in thepast three years.The Global Alliance for

Olive leaf extract - nature’s extraordinary immune support

As far ago as 1927, doctors used olive leaf to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. Scientists have discovered that olive leaf contains

powerful nutrients that can directly interfere and even destroy nearly every type of disease-causing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this, olive leaf has immune-enhancing bene� ts by activating immune cells that � ght infection. For these reasons, it has become a popular tonic herb that can be used to keep the immune system strong as well as when needed to dramatically speed up recovery of conditions like colds and � us, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections and much more. It has also been found bene� cial for

chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical diseases, two types of leukaemia and some cancers. In many chronic health conditions (e.g. cancer), the immune system is rundown and it is easy to have complications that are o� en life-threatening. Olive leaf may be an ideal option to boost the immune system and allow the body to have more energy to help heal itself.

Olive leaf has also been found to be an e� ective cardiovascular tonic, helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat irregularities, improve blood � ow and vascular disorders.

Vitamin C is responsible for the formation, maintenance and repair of collagen - the substance that forms the foundation of

skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls and the bones and teeth. It is also important for adrenal function and the release of stress hormones. It is a powerful antioxidant, helping protect our cells from damage and ageing. It stimulates the immune system and helps prevent and treat infections and other diseases,

Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant

including chronic diseases like cancer. It is also extremely important for cardiovascular health. Research shows it helps strengthen the arteries and capillaries, improve blood � ow, reduce high blood pressure and prevent abnormal blood clotting. One study found that men who consume 300 to 400 milligrams of vitamin C per day have an average of 45 fewer deaths from heart attacks.

New hope in cholera scourgeA cheap and easy-to-deliver oral vaccine against cholera is 86 per cent effective in preventing the infection, which causes severe diarrhoea and can be fatal, researchers say.

About 1.4 billion people around the globe were at risk for cholera in 2012, says the World Health Organisation.

Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae bacte-ria, which can spread through the water supply in places where sanitation and hygiene are poor.

The study in last month’s New England Journal of Medicine was the first to measure the effectiveness of a vaccine Shanchol in response to a cholera outbreak under field conditions, in Guinea. Previously, the vaccine had been tested only under experimental conditions in India.

The research in Guinea, by Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), involved more than 300,000 doses of the two-dose vac-cine, administered during a cholera outbreak in 2012. It was 82 to 86 per cent effective, and had few side effects.

However, researchers were unable to compare one versus two doses in preventing cholera, and it remains unknown how long the vaccine can remain effective at room tempera-ture.

Three cholera vaccines are currently on the world market.

Shanchol is less expensive and easier to store than another leading vaccine, Dukoral, and the two are comparable in terms of effectiveness. Shanchol costs US$1.85 a dose, compared to Dukoral at US$5.25. Both may offer some pro-tection against cholera for up to five years.

The World Health Organisation has ap-proved two vaccines for UN agencies to buy. A third vaccine, mORC-VAX, is licensed and produced only in Vietnam. More than 1.6 mil-lion doses of Shanchol have been distributed worldwide in the past three years.

The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Im-munisation has pledged support for 20 million doses over the next five years. — AFP

EFFECTIVE: Researchers have developed an oral vaccine which is 86 per cent effective in preventing cholera infection.

A device that uses a modified iPhone to help regulate the blood sugar of people with type 1 diabetes appears to work better than an insulin pump, researchers say.

The so-called “bionic pancreas” is the latest in the search to improve the lives of people who have type 1 diabetes, which means their bodies do not produce insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar.

Three million people in the United States have type 1 diabetes, which is far less common than type 2 diabetes. It is commonly known as juvenile diabetes because it tends to appear in children and young adults.

People with type 1 diabetes must prick them-selves for blood samples multiple times daily in order to monitor their glucose levels, and then either inject insulin or receive it from a pump.

The new method involved an iPhone 4S, which ran a control algorithm for insulin and glucagon, combined with a tiny needle that is inserted under the skin to monitor real-time glucose levels.

A total of 52 adults and youths tried the combination for five days.

The Star Home Show was a huge success for us. The patrons were genuinely interested in building/renovating... The event was well organised, publicised and well attended...

Paul WaltonThe Granite Benchtop Company

We were impressed with the quality of the leads gathered at The Star Home Show. We found visitors had done their research before attending the show, they even came prepared with questions & house plans. Exhibiting at the show was the best way for us to further demonstrate to these visitors the benefits of our systems.

Wendy Shephard, Marketing Manager Central Heating New Zealand

Thanks for the fantastic show. Sold out on Sunday afternoon and sent an empty van back to Tauranga. Well worth the trip!
