The rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre has been pushed back two years, a victim of the city council’s rebuild shake-up.
Last week, the city council announced that it would delay many projects, including the rebuild of the centre, in a bid to spread cost and resource across a more realistic time frame.
The centre, which was on Shirley Rd, was demolished in
October 2012 due to earthquake damage and was expected to be reopened late this year.
But now its construction has been pushed out to 2018.
Before the February 22, 2011, earthquake it was a busy community hub, that housed several organisations.
Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson said the delay was not acceptable and the board would make a submission to the city council draft annual plan, to convince
them the project should go ahead as planned.
He said the board was not aware that construction had been delayed for two years.
“Shirley has been very badly affected by the earthquakes . . . I hope the project has not been pushed out just so other projects around the city can go ahead,” he said.
Shirley Community Trust support worker Ian Dunbar said the area had been depleted of community centres making it
hard for some groups to continue.“Either these groups attempt to
relocate or the fold,” he said.Mr Dunbar said a lot of work
had gone into rebuilding a community bond now the facilities need to be built to continue that good work.

GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDINGA RESOURCE consent will now be required before a boarding house can be established, in a bid to stop landlords cramming more people into a houses.
This means a city council will consider a range of factors before granting a consent including: the scale of activity, the impact on the residential character, traffic generation and access safety.
Before then, boarding houses were not required to meet this criteria.
After the February 22, 2011, earthquake, accommodation in the city was at a premium, with overcrowding, and some landlords renting space in garages, or renting out a room to several people.
The new definition means the council will investigate the living
conditions of a house if a complaint is received.
Mike Pero Real Estate franchise and territory owner Sonia Tafilapepe said while it won’t affect the market, it will affect the people who are not running the boarding houses properly.
“They won’t be able to on-sell something that doesn’t have the consent.”
She said the changes to the city plan should hopefully “tidy up” the standards of living for people in boarding houses.
Meanwhile, figures show from the latest Trade Me Property Rental Price Index report in January 2016 that Christchurch is one of the few places in the country that is decreasing in the demand for renting properties.
The overall percentage for renting in Christchurch has decreased by 8.9 per cent.

BUS LANES APPROVEDThe Shirley-Papanui Community Board has recommended to the city council’s infrastructure, transport and environment committee the installation of a special vehicle lane for the use of southbound buses and cycles on the east side of Main North Rd at the intersection with Link Rd. The new lane will allow buses to get a jump start on traffic at the intersection.
WORK DELAYEDWork to relay a section of earthquake damaged wastewater mainline on Warrington St, near the Forfar St intersection in Mairehau was due to start on March 23. Due to a change in the construction programme, this work has now been delayed until Wednesday.
NOISE COMPLAINTSA Merivale resident has spoken to the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board regarding her concerns of excessive noise from neighbouring construction sites. She noted that no infringement notices had been issued to the contractors or sub-contractors working on the site so far. The board has requested staff to consider a public information/awareness raising campaign to assist residents facing similar circumstances.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
Last week we had what felt like a last hurrah and farewell from summer with some 30 deg C days.
While we can’t be sure there won’t be some more, each week as autumn progresses the prospect becomes more remote.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the timeliness of having electric blankets checked out and this is a good time for those fortunate amongst us to still be using fireplaces to have the flu or chimney cleaned.
It’s a regular occurrence each year for fire crews to be turned out on the first really cold evening to chimney fires. Don’t be embarrassed.
The arson fires widely reported in the media in Parklands this week need solving. Because the actions of the
offender are truly frightening. It’s one thing to light bins, skips or scrub. It’s another to set fire to houses when the occupants are asleep inside.
Smoke alarms, smoke alarms, smoke alarms. This, and making sure your home is secure are the main defences you have against this person. Use them.
The occupant of a house in Northwood had a fortuitous escape last Saturday when they woke up in the morning to the smell of gas and found the kitchen and dining room reeking.
Somehow she had left the gas on. Amazingly, leaking away and mixing with air the resultant gas cloud did not find an ignition source.
What could have been a tragedy finished with St Albans crew opening doors and windows to clear the house. That’s a lucky escape.

For my next article, I want to share a story about one gutsy, determined little 14 year old schnauzer “Max“ and his wonderful family who loved him with all their hearts. It was obvious Max was a very integral, valued member of their family and they turned to us for help. They weren’t ready to let him go, but he was 14 and often it can be a hard decision to decide when is “the right time” to let go! My initial job was to do preliminary testing urgently, stabilise and support Max and provide pain medication, until we had a grip on his problem list….which by the way was quite extensive.
Max presented to me in a very bad way. He appeared to have acutely gone down hill and when I saw him he was completely off his legs, unable to stand, not having eaten that morning and he looked as though we could lose him if we didn’t act quickly. He was immediately admitted, placed on intravenous fluids and pain medications and a series of blood tests run. One of our nurses was stationed with Max all day, constantly monitoring and medicating him, repositioning and toileting Max. Max was sick and required 24 hour care – in fact 24 hour care continued for a week and after each day with us, he was transferred to the After Hours clinic through the night. These sick patients deserve 1 on 1 care with an individualised hospital plan. As vets, all 5 of us were involved in this case.
Max’s diagnoses list was large.
1. We found a splenic tumour on ultrasound that required major abdominal surgery to remove it in case it ruptured.
2. He had severe inflammation/ infection of unknown origin (possibly pancreatitis or discospondylosis) which finally responded to intravenous antibiotics.
3. He had severe blood loss anemia which was a complication of chronic illness. It responded to treatment for stomach ulcers, which he may have had.
4. Severe abdominal pain that didn’t initially respond to medications – either referred spinal pain or true abdominal pain which resolved as the infection/ inflammation subsided.
5. All 4 legs were weak and he was incoordinated and couldn’t stand or walk for days, maybe again as a result of infection/ inflammation.
This sad, frustrating, and at times stressful case pushed us, as vets and intensive care nurses caring for Max, to our limits BUT the rewards were HUGE. We witnessed a courageous, spirited, stoic and very brave little dog trot on out of our clinic eventually, like nothing the previous week had even happened. It was a moment we will never forget. It just wasn’t Max’s time for the “next chapter” in his life – he knew it all along and we came to realise it.
Max’s family support couldn’t have been stronger. Everyone in the family was involved in transporting him to the afterhours over night, visiting constantly, medicating and helping him recuperate. They showed him unconditional love and he showed them his “fight” for life. As Ange aptly puts it, ”Max is in better health now than we have seen for months. We are thrilled, his illness fooled us into thinking he was in the “Departure lounge” of life!!”
All I can say is Patience, Time, Faith, great Medicine and Love heals everything. A special thanks to my AWESOME team of vets and nurses who put hours of time and energy into ensuring Max’s stay was the very BEST in everyway and all his needs were met and delivered with care and respect. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome.

They are known as man’s best friend – but for some people, they can be so much more.
The Blind Foundation’s Red Puppy street appeal, which raises money for breeding and training guide dogs, is taking place on Friday and Saturday.
The dogs give people who are blind or have low vision the confidence to live an independent life, including carrying out everyday tasks such as catching the bus, crossing the road, or going to work.
Glenys Lintott became a puppy walker because her son Carl is deaf/blind. He now has his second guide dog, Umar.
“We’re doing it because we want to enable someone else to live as independently as Carl does.”
She has been looking after puppy Vesper, who arrived last April and was one of the first two puppies sent to Christchurch after the February 2011 earthquake.
However, having a nine-week-old puppy in the house was a world away from the trained guide dogs the family was used to.
“We’re really pleased we did it
before we were going to change the carpet and the lino. We now have holes in both,” she said.
In spite of the hard work and challenges that come with being a puppy walker, Ms Lintott said it has been a great experience and one she will definitely repeat.
Although it will be hard to give Vesper back when he is ready to start guide dog training, Glenys said she is emotionally prepared.
Guide dogs go through two years of rigorous training before graduating. Once assigned, their working life averages between eight and 10 years.
Blind Foundation spokeswoman Alison Wheatlwey said people all the costs for breeding and training are met by public donations.
Keep an eye out for collectors, donate online at redpuppy.org.nz, or text PUPPIES to 305 to donate $3.

Cotswold School pupils ventured along to The Groynes dressed as bugs to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature to start their next inquiry unit about ‘Minibeasts’.
Among some of the exciting activities, the students went bug hunting and made friends with a tree.
Using magnifying glasses and other tools, they looked for birds, plants and insects in the park.
“I found two bugs – a spider and a wood beetle. We used a magnifying glass,” six-year-
old Andrew Moriarty said.“We talked about trees.
I learned that they help us to breathe,” six-year-old Brayden Gardiner said.
A Cotswold School spokeswoman said: “The children thoroughly enjoyed looking for bugs in their natural habitats and learning about the importance of preservation,” she said.
Other junior school classes will also go on the city council trips the The Groynes this term as there are a variety of programmes available to support scientific learning.

A physical education class will be undertaking their biggest challenge yet with a fundraising run from Burnside High School to Akaroa.
The year 13 sports leader-ship class is running to Akaroa in a bid to raise money for breast cancer and prostate cancer.
The goal is to raise $5,000 with the class split in half to raise money for the two foun-dations.
Physical education teacher Sam Ryburn said the fund-raiser is based around a NCEA unit where students are re-quired to contribute to a team or group that has an objective.
The students will be running in relays for the event.
Mr Ryburn said the students will have to run a minimum of 14km each but if they do over and above it will go towards their charity.
He said he hopes the school may be able to hold a mufti
day for the event.“It’s a big school. We have
got about 2500 students. So a dollar each. It’s a good start towards our fundraising.”
Year 13 student Hannah Grant said some people in the class are running for members of their family who have had cancer. She said the breast cancer society recently con-tacted the class giving them ribbons and posters to put up in their classroom.
“It is a great way to support the charities,” she said.

Furious fundraising is in store for Fendalton Open Air School as they try to generate enough money to repair its swimming pool.
The pool was damaged in the February 22, 2011 earthquake and has been sitting broken ever since – something the school desperately wants to change.
So far around $390,000 has been raised towards the rebuild, over $10,000 has been raised on their givealittle page.
Board of Trustees chairwoman Emily Flaszynski said their pool would really benefit the Burnside school cluster – a collection of five primary schools, a high school and a couple of early learning centres.
“We could service all those school’s pool needs,” she said.
Now Fendalton have around half the money needed to start rebuilding the pool they have started with the detailed design process which should be complete in six week’s time.
If you would like to help out with a donation, head to www.givealittle.co.nz/org/fendschool to donate or visit the school.

moneyGet your books rightJEREMY TAURIIt’s fast approaching March 31 and the end of the 2016 financial year.
While minds will turn to getting the books into the accountant for the taxman after this date, you’ll need to do a couple of things beforehand to make sure your numbers are solid. Do your stocktake: If you carry inventory over $10,000 you’ll need to provide a stocktake to your accountant. The value you’ll provide will be at cost, but if you have items that are hanging around that are worth significantly less then get rid of them. It’s a good excuse to have an end of financial year sale.
Write-off money you’re not going to receive: Got a few problem clients whom you’re unlikely to receive funds from and you’ve tried everything short of begging them for the money? You might want to consider writing the debt off.
If it’s in the 120-day-and over column and you’re
not even getting any small payments, the likelihood of getting paid is zero. To ensure you don’t pay tax on money you’re unlikely to receive, you need to write them off out of your ledger before March 31, 2016.
Check your asset ledger for assets that are no longer there: It’s surprising what nuggets you’ll find in the asset ledger. Windows 98 computers, old vehicles or trailers that had been in accidents or are now rusting in the paddock are some of the things that shouldn’t be in a current asset list. Check out this
part of your financials to make sure that the list is up to date and current. Discuss the implications of removing these with your accountant.
Defer any invoicing to next year: So you’ve had a good year and the draft profit and loss results are looking positive for 2016. If you’re looking at next year being slightly down because of depreciation and capital investment funded by loans into your business then you might want to defer invoicing to the next year.

Saving is a choice that won’t happen by itself
Getting the right balance between enjoying life now and saving is easy once you understand that saving still allows you to enjoy life, but later.
Saving is just deferred spending and it needs to be broken into time-based spend-ing categories that reflect your goals —the things in life that are really important to you.
For most people, there are four categories of saving: sav-ing for unexpected essential expenses or loss of income (your emergency fund), sav-ing for the things you want to do in the next five years or so to enjoy life (such as travel or home renovations), saving that is applied to getting rid of debt and saving for longer-
term goals such as retirement. How you allocate your
money between each of these categories depends on your goals and personal prefer-ences.
There is no right and wrong answer, no magic formula, no-one looking over your
shoulder who has the author-ity to criticise or applaud the choices you make, and no-one other than you who can decide the best approach.
There are just two important conditions to be met. Firstly, saving is something that needs to be done as a deliberate,
considered act and, secondly, you need to understand the consequences of the spending and saving choices you make.
Your first priority for saving should be for your emergency fund, which is your buffer for when things go wrong.
Taking a passive approach to saving simply does not work. The idea that somehow money will be left over when all the spending is done is pure fantasy.
A determined choice to save needs to be made, with the un-derstanding that the less you save, the less enjoyable your life may be in the future, un-less you can find more ways to enjoy life without spending money.

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.

Many options for a windfall
I have recently inherited$50,000 from a favourite auntwho passed away. At age 62 Iam still working fulltime. I havepaid off the mortgage on myhome. I am wondering what Ishould do with this unexpectedwindfall. I have thought aboutputting it towards a rentalproperty, but I have beenreading about the risk of P labsand the cost ofdecontamination and that’sgiving me cold feet. I have alsobeen thinking about putting themoney into my KiwiSaveraccount for my retirement, but Iread Michael Cullen’scomments that some of mysavings could be taken by theGovernment and now I’m not sosure. What should I do?
I will start first with the ideasput forward by former FinanceMinister Sir Michael Cullenrecently. Sir Michael suggestedthat KiwiSaver bemadecompulsory with a clawback taxof 10 per cent on payout, paidinto the New Zealand SuperFund.To put this in context, these
comments weremade in aspeech at a Grey Powermeetingin Napier last week, attended byabout 200 people. Sir Michael (he
was knighted in 2012) has notbeen in Government sinceNovember 2008 when Labourlost the general election.Whenthe current or any futureGovernment revisits theproblem of funding ourretirement needs in years tocome theywill no doubt consultwidely, but theymay not seekthe opinion of a retired politiciannomatter how eminent.The KiwiSaver Scheme is
regulated by the KiwiSaver Act2006. The Government is able tomake changes to the scheme, buttheymust follow the appropriateprocess. Theywould also bemindful that toomany changeswould result in a loss ofconfidence. Building thefinancial capability andconfidence of New Zealanders isa priority for the Governmentand KiwiSaver is a keycomponent.Any changes to KiwiSaver
have to be carefully considered.Currentlymoney going into
KiwiSaver has already beentaxed, investment income andsome capital gains are taxed, butanywithdrawals are tax-free.Once themoney has gone intoyour KiwiSaver account itbelongs to you, and if youwereto turn 65 tomorrow you couldapply to withdraw it all. Yes, theGovernment canmake changesto the KiwiSaver Act, but it isunlikely tomake changes thatwould upset a large number ofthe voting public.Should you invest your
inheritance in a rental property?P contamination has been in thenews lately, with the problemdescribed as a potential rival tothe leaky homes crisis.Prospective owners can gethomes tested before they buy,but future P use by tenants, andof course Pmanufacture, wouldresult in contamination. The
cost of clean-up apparentlystarts at $1000 rising to a severalhundred thousand if a P lab isinvolved.Wall coverings,furnishings and curtainsmay allneed to be replaced.The risk of P contamination is
only one factor when looking toinvest in property, but for manypeople property investing hasbeen an interesting andfinancially rewardingexperience. Do your sums andtalk to your local PropertyInvestors Association, they areready to help anyone thinking ofbecoming a landlord.You could also consider
getting personalised advice fromanAuthorised Financial Adviserto help youmake the rightdecision for you. All AuthorisedFinancial Advisersmust complywith a Code of ProfessionalConduct. First and foremostamong these, is the obligation toplace the interests of the clientfirst and act with integrity.You have been fortunate to
get this unexpected windfallfrom your aunt. KiwiSaver or arental property are not youronly choices. Take your time andlook at other options as well.

Blood Pressure is an indicator of cardiovascular as well as overall health. Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy body as the blood plasma
transports nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste, oxygen and CO2 throughout the body.
An area in the brain keeps check on blood flow to ensure health of all cells and the organs they make up. If blood flow is reduced, the brain will try to normalise blood flow by adjusting the heart strength, frequency (pulse rate) as well as the width of blood vessels all via the nervous system. Over a period of time, the blood pressure may keep increasing due to the deterioration of blood flow. A higher blood pressure is not ideal, and is considered a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysm, organ failure and heart failure. Even moderate elevation of blood pressure is considered a major reason for shorter life expectancy.
If we can maintain our blood pressure in the normal range, our overall health will be improved. Systolic blood pressure (the upper figure) is when the heart contracts and pushes blood around the body. Ideally at rest, this should be between 100 and 120. The diastolic blood pressure (the lower figure) is the pressure in the arteries between beats and ideally at rest, this should be between 60 and 70.
It has been found in around 90 per cent of cases, high blood pressure is caused by an increase in the resistance to blood flow in the

blood vessels. It is believed inflammation and stiffness of the blood vessels are major reasons for this increased resistance. Checking our blood pressure on a regular basis allows us to adjust our diet and lifestyle, and see the benefits in our blood pressure readings.

AMAZING ISLAND MIRACLE OIL
Revered for centuries by Polynesians and Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin anti-aging and healing properties, Dilo oil
comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. The Dilo tree draws its sustenance directly from the
nutrient rich warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
In fact, many have found it to increase fat loss by two to three times greater than normal. Television progrmame Dr Oz
has said it is the most effective and fastest working natural supplement to support weight loss.
Even without exercise and diet changes, many have found it beneficial, although even better and quicker results are often
Miracle weight loss fruitAn extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit called garcinia cambogia from India and Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight management and overall health.
obtained with extra exercise and an improved diet.
The extract of this amazing fruit is called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) or CitriMax. Research has shown HCA to help suppress the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for longer, increase energy levels, help prevent fat from being made and stored in the body, increase lean muscle mass, increase serotonin levels in the brain that
help control mood and sleep (great for emotional eaters), improve cholesterol levels that may help reduce the chances of stroke and cardiovascular disease, help prevent sugar spikes as well as other health benefits.
It is considered a very safe supplement (although check first if you are on medication) as it has been used for centuries as a flavouring agent and digestive aid.
To obtain reliable results, it is important to take a product that contains a standardised extract of 60 per cent HCA, and also take the recommended amount as used in the clinical research. Some supplements also contain ChromeMate, a well-researched form of niacin-bound chromium to help improve the results even more.

Canterbury shows are Windwhistle tomorrow night and April 16th; Springfield April 17th; Akaroa April 28th; and Springfield 29th April. Tickets @ Eventfinda. More information available at farmstrong.co.nz.
