FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Designs for a fishing deck, pro-posed to resolve tensions on the New Brighton Pier, have been released.

City councillor David East, who has been the driving force behind the project, presented the design to the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board on Monday.

He said it would be the “ul-timate” solution to the prob-

lems on the pier. There have been calls to ban fishing on the pier after complaints of people flouting the “no fishing” zone and leaving mess and litter behind.

The deck, designed by an ar-chitect, sits slightly below the pier. Board members agreed the deck and related costs should be investigated by city council staff.

This comes after the board made a recommendation to

the city council that fishing be banned on Sundays off the pier.

The final decision lies with city councillors.

City council staff asked the board to ban fishing on the first weekend of every month, from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

But the community board thought that this would be too confusing to keep track of, and decided that every Sunday should be fishing-free.

Cr East said he is against the decision to ban fishing on Sundays, because he believes the pier was built for everyone.

“The pier is there for everyone to use. We do need to send a strong message to fishermen to fish in a responsible and clean matter. If they can’t abide by the rules then maybe a short term ban would be beneficial. It’s now up to them to improve their actions,” he said.

Also recommended to city council was a motion for any crab pots to have a maximum diameter of 1m.

This comes after a long histo-ry of damage to the pier’s hand-rails, which is caused by fisher-men pulling their crab pots over the side of the pier.

Cr East said: “ I would much prefer to see lightweight crab pots, or if the damage continued we could enforce a temporary ban.”

SOLUTION?: The first sketch of a proposed fishing deck to be built just under the New Brighton Pier.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

The controversial QE II replace-ment has been given the go-ahead – but only after heated debate at a community board meeting.

On Thursday, the city council voted in favour of the revised de-sign of the controversial Eastern Sports and Recreation Centre.

Last week the Pegasus Post reported that the updated scope gave more aquatic space, but an-other pool was not added.

The project is $1.7 million over its $37 million budget. The redesign will save $1.1 million of the overspend.

But at the Burwood-Pegasus Community board on Monday sparks flew between board mem-bers and lobby groups.

The scope had to be approved by the board before proceeding to city council for a decision.

Outspoken community board member Linda Stewart and Avondale Residents Association chairman Chris Cole made a last ditch attempt to stop the new scope, supported by about 20 people in the public gallery.

They wanted a 35m pool in-cluded.

But city council recreation and

sports unit manager John Filsell said the lane pool and movable floor would allow for deep water sports and was sufficient.

Keep QE II in the East chair-woman Jo Zervos yelled from the public gallery “no it won’t”.

Board chairwoman Andrea Cummings reprimanded Ms Zervos telling her it was not her place to speak.

Ms Stewart also said she feared the proposed movable floor in the lane pool could trap children.

But her community board col-

leagues and the architect behind the project said there was no risk of injury associated with the movable floor.

Mr Cole said he was also con-cerned the movable floor would be expensive and a waste of money.

“We cannot see any advan-tages for this added expense. Advantages need to be justified or the funds should go to an-other feature. People have said they are initially used but after a while very rarely used at all,” he said.

CONCERNS: Avondale Residents Association chairman Chris Cole told the Burwood-Pegasus Com-munity Board last Monday that the rescoped QEII replacement was insufficent. His bid failed after the board and city council both approved the plans.

SANDCASTLE COMPETITION POSTPONEDThe annual New Zealand Sand-castle Competition has been postponed until December next year. The organisers of the competition, the Pegasus Bay Charitable Trust, has moved the event from Waitangi Day Week-end to December next year. A spokesman said this will give the trust more time to attract over-seas world sculptors and take the competition to a new level. Last year’s event attracted over 20,000 people to New Brighton Beach.

CAR FIRE A vehicle on fire in Parklands took firefighters an hour to put out last week. The Wainoni fire brigade was alerted to the incident at 10.20pm last Tuesday night, and arrived at the scene on Bower Ave to find the car on fire. No one was injured.

PROVISION REVIEWThe city council decided on Thursday that they would review the provision of services to those remaining in the residential red zone and see if there were more cost-effective options. At the moment, it cost about $260,000 a month to provide services includ-ing, water supply, stormwater, wastewater and roads will contin-ue in the residential red zone. The council said it would continue provision where infrastrucutre is still in full service.

A Trist, Parklands – $1.1 million might be saved by not giving the residents on the east the pool complex they want (and deserve), but it is going to end up being a complex that is not going to be able to cope with the job it is supposed to do.

Two high schools, local primary schools and the community will all be fighting for swimming space. I have always felt that a 50m pool with a movable floor across the lanes is the answer.

The cost is better to be met now, than finding a few months down the track

when it is finished, that it is too small and to extend the complex is going to be a much greater cost in the future.

Why can’t those in charge of this process see it is better to do the job right in the first place, making it cheaper in the long run, instead of “penny pinching”.

Sorry Glenn Livingstone, I disagree with your comments in the Pegasus Post regarding the residents wishes being lis-tened to. If that was the case we would be seeing a much better workable, complex for all to use.

MARK THOMAS FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

A colleague of mine is set to retire this week after 46 years as a firefighter.

I won’t embarrass him by naming him but this number of years is far from unusual. In a world where the norm is apparently four or five years before an employee moves on, the majority of firefighters are here for the long haul.

There are many reasons for this.I read somewhere the saying: ‘If you

love what you do you never spend a day at work’. If it’s true then an awful lot of firefighters never go to work. They just happen to be on duty.

This is a job that is not for everyone.

It’s one where you basically have two families. The one at home and the one at work. Your relationships with your colleagues are so much closer than a typical workplace. Hardly surprising when you place your very life in the hands of the person next to you. It’s why internationally there is a brother and sisterhood that transcends borders and language.

Whether being cold and wet and exhausted but exhilarated after a hard job or sitting at 3am in the mess having a deep conversation, (or an absolutely nonsensical one), while heart rate drops and body cools it’s a bloody great job.

It’s why people don’t want to stop. It’s why they don’t leave.

Firefighters in for long haul

&McMaster HeapVeterinary practice

“Bindi” a 4 year old Black Labrador presented to me because of excess salivation pouring out the right side of her mouth. Immediately I thought bee-sting or a piece of bone or stick was stuck in her mouth.

She was still eating, playing and exercising normally. On oral examination I noticed two of her upper teeth ( carnassials) has slab fractures present. This can occur from persistent chewing on hard things and involves a large amount of enamel that has fractured off the side of the tooth. The right carnassial had exposed pulp and was very sore to touch, whereas the left carnassial had no exposure of pulp and looked like an old injury. Bindi was discharged with pain relief and anti- inflammatory medications. I thoroughly discussed the surgical options – removing the right carnassial as opposed to saving the tooth via Root Canal Surgery. Bindi’s owners had pet insurance so wanted to save the tooth.

We contacted a registered Veterinary dentist from the North Island and asked him if he could perform the surgery at our Practice. Our new dental vet Janine closely watched the procedure. In time with experience, Janine will be performing these surgeries. Bindi’s mouth was radiographed and it was established that the 3 roots of the right carnassial were not infected and looked healthy, meaning the tooth could be saved. A root canal involves removing diseased or necrotic pulp and achieving a tight seal at the apex to preserve the tooth from getting infected. It involves

accessing the pulp canal, cleaning and shaping the canal then filling the canal before restoring the crown and tooth root surface.

It is a long, intricate procedure which can’t be rushed. Bindi was under anaesthetic for 5 hours in total so obviously you need a healthy patient free of internal, systemic disease and a very dedicated, skilled anaesthetist who keeps up regular monitoring for 5 hours. You also need owners who understand the procedure and are

committed to dental homecare. Follow up radiographs need to be performed at 6 and 12 months even if the patient seems fine. If done correctly, root canal surgery is highly successful and less traumatic than removal of a major tooth. Bindi can go back to her premium dry food diet although chewing bones (raw or nylabones) is strongly discouraged through fear of reinjuring the tooth.

While Bindi was asleep the rest of her teeth were scaled and polished the left side carnassial slab fracture was repaired by placing a sealant over the tooth, protecting the non exposed pulp canal. She was a true star under the anaesthetic and woke up amazing quickly. She has 7 days of antibiotics post surgery and a few days of pain relief. Her recovery will be fast.

Again this highlights the importance of pet insurance and asking the right questions to make sure you get the cover you want. When you start getting into specialized surgery, the costs can be quite high. Having pet insurance can be the difference between your pet losing a major tooth or root canal surgery to save it, which ultimately for your pet is the best option long-term, especially in a young animal. Veterinary Medicine has come a long way and there are highly, specialised veterinarians performing specialist surgeries. Seek out the best options for your pet by asking the right questions. They deserve the same rights and chances as us!

BY GABRIELLE STUARTThe future of the South Brighton Holiday Park is still uncertain but now the current operators have the Mayor Lianne Dalziel in their corner.

The campground has been under the threat of closure for more than two years, because of damage to some of the buildings.

A city council report earlier this year estimated it could save up to $3m if the camp was closed.

On Thursday, the city council-lors voted to open up the process so anyone could put forward plans for using the site, either as a motor camp or something similar.

But Ms Dalziel said she hoped the current operators of the camp would put forward a proposal, and she was confident they could win it.

“I think that sometimes in a post-disaster environment you don’t throw the rules out the window, but you do look at how people behaved and responded, and they responded in a magnifi-

cent way to a very challenging environment.

“I myself have always felt that in this situation in a post-disaster environment, these people kept the camp going month after month after month, without any guarantee or any assurance. They want to make a significant investment in the camp.”

The council decided it would not support any proposal which needed a subsidy, or fund any repairs to buildings or infrastruc-ture on the site.

A proposal would also need to prove it would be of value to the local community.

A decision is expected to be made by April next year.

AT RISK: The future of the South Brighton Holiday Park is still uncertain, because of earthquake damage to buildings there.

Glimmer of hope for holiday park

GIFTS WANTEDThe Kmart Wishing Tree and The Salvation Army are asking eastern residents to dig deep this Christmas. At the halfway point, 6166 gifts have been placed under a Kmart Wishing Tree nationwide this year, but the charities’ goal is for 50,000. Ric-carton and Shirley Kmart store tallies currently stand at 620 gifts combined. Gifts donated at the Riccarton and Shirley stores will be distributed by The Salvation Army to local fami-lies and individuals struggling financially .

ROADS BEING REPAIREDThe corner of Lyndhurst Cres and Twynham Place, Aranui, is being repaired. Sections of the earthquake damaged road, footpath, kerb and channel will be fixed. The works began last Monday, and will continue for about three weeks. It will be completed in two stages – firstly, sections of the kerb and channel will be repaired before Christmas. The second stage will see the road repairs in early January next year. Meanwhile, road and kerb repairs to Willryan Ave in New Brighton have started. SCIRT contractors have begun repairing the road surface on Willryan Ave, between number 11 and Sandy Ave. From there they will also remove and replace the kerb on Sandy Ave.

CAR CRASHA person was taken to hospital after a car crash on Marshland Rd last week. Emergency ser-vices were called last Monday at around 5.15pm. The St Albans fire brigade was first to respond and found no one was trapped inside either car. A St John ambulance arrived soon after and took a person to the hospital with moderate injuries.

INFORMATION HUB FOR NEW BRIGHTONThe city council has agreed to investigate setting up a Coastal Information Hub in New Brighton. City councillor Glenn Livingstone proposed the idea to help residents get more informa-tion on the coastal hazards. On Thursday, city councillors agreed for staff to do a feasability study.

LIBRARY HOURSCity council libraries, including New Brighton, Parklands and Shirley will be closed over the Christmas and New Year statutory public holidays. This means will close on December 25, 26 with normal hours resuming on December 27. Libraries will be closed over New Year from January 1 to January 4, with the exception of Shirley Library which will open from 10am to 4pm. All service desks will also close from December 25 to January 4 inclusive.

By the sounds of things, Keith, you’ve had a very interesting life. I think that’s fair to say, don’t you?

Yes, it’s been a pretty full-on one, with fires and food parcels taking up most of my time (laughs). As a professional fire fighter, fires are my main employer, and I’m now into my 41st year as a fire fighter.

And you’ve done a lot of work with the St Vincent de Paul society. Tell me about that?

I’ve been involved with St Vincent de Paul for a long time as well. It’s a parish-based organisation that helps those in need, but we don’t actively preach the religion side of it. We help by either getting them a food parcel, or some sort of assistance they require. We have a lot of people who are involved, and there are about 16 different conferences in and around

Canterbury.What was it like being

named as a Canterbury Local Hero?

It was a huge surprise. There were a lot of really great people receiving awards that night, so it was an honour to be up with them. I didn’t know it was coming, it just one day came through my work email and I’m still at a loss as to who nominated me.

Obviously you’re a modest hero too?

I don’t know about that (laughs). I figure you only get it on behalf of those who you work with and I accepted it on behalf of everyone I have worked with. I also have a role with St Vincent de Paul looking after smaller Pacific countries, as the Oceania co-ordinator. We’re kind of put there to help with any special programmes - but I really don’t think I’m a hero.

And you’ve been a fire fighter for 41 years. That must be an incredibly rewarding job?

I do that and am also involved in a sub-section of the fire service called Urban Search And Rescue (USAR). It was another chance to work as a team to help out with the earthquakes and I was nominated to help out in Japan after their earthquake and tsunami in 2011. It’s a massive team effort from everyone involved with these jobs. The main thing is that you don’t let it go to your head; that you have a job to do. You see guys on the front line, saving lives and putting out fires, but it’s the people behind the front lines that are the real saviours. The people who check that your equipment isn’t faulty – things like that. That’s why things are always running smoothly.

What were some highlights in your time as a fire fighter?

In all the different incidents I’ve been to, there have never been two jobs the same. I

always enjoy going to work, no day is the same – some are quieter, but you have to expect the unexpected. In my 41 years, there have been a couple of incidents that stick out. I guess the main ones would be some of the big house fires years ago, when you’d have to chew a lot of smoke, but health and safety nowadays is a lot tighter. Nowadays, common sense prevails, and the advance in fire fighting gear is always improving and we always love to see new tools and techniques.

And what about your time on the USAR task force?

It throws a completely new dimension into the work, really, being able to work with overseas teams. The training is so good that if you get deployed in the South Pacific, where you’re teamed up with a team from another country, you still know exactly what’s going on.

The Christchurch earthquakes really tested our mettle. We put our bodies in places we never thought we would have to put them. And after eight days working in Christchurch, within the space of a month we went to Japan, following the tsunami, so it was a full-on month. It was a massively emotional time for our crew as well – a lot of the guys were dealing with their own stuff at home. Especially with the body recovery and things like that.

Where did you stay when you were in Japan?

We were camped on a baseball diamond in two-man tents. The temperatures got to below -17

deg C. But we survived – we had adequate gear to keep us alive for that time. We also had enough food to keep us going. Christchurch posed many difficult situations, but when we arrived in Japan, it was basically a body recovery situation, because no one was trapped. The power of the tsunami had swept everything out to sea, whereas Christchurch was definitely a rescue attempt for about the first seven or eight days. They’re both challenging, but the actual devastation of Japan put Christchurch in perspective.

You’ve also coached the Canterbury Fire Brigade Rugby team for 30-odd years?

Yes I did. I played until my body couldn’t take it anymore. Dan Carter’s dad, Neville Carter, was one of our best players back in the day – most of our guys were first team players. We played curtain-raisers for Super 14 games, and we always got a run on Jade Stadium. I was a manager, coach, player, fundraiser, everything! We had some awesome players with us over the years.

And what about your family, are they from Christchurch?

Yes all the family is from Christchurch. We have nine kids and a couple of grandchildren.

And what about yourself?I wasn’t born here, but it’s

where I’ve spent most of my life. I was born in New Plymouth.

Have you travelled much?I travelled around most of

the Pacific Islands as part of the USAR job, and have experienced the cultures there. A few years ago, we got a fire truck into a remote part of Guam when they needed one. We managed to fly it up there over two days in a big Hercules plane.

And finally – what are you hoping for this Christmas?

I’m looking forward to a bit of quality time with the family. We don’t get a lot of that around this time of the year. Christmas is pretty special and it’ll be nice to get some family time in.

SIMPLY STALLS: Chisnallwood Intermediate pupils had a sweet ending to their school year. The school’s Year 7 class projects in term four was about enterprise. It culminated in a market day full of tempting treats at the end of term. The aim of the unit was for the pupils to design and make a product to sell. Students organ-ised themselves into business groups and brainstormed ideas they thought could sell at a market. Students worked on advertising, completed market research and packaging their products. A huge range of items sold, ranging from cupcakes and sweets, to nachos, lip balm and bath bombs. The combined total of the market day was $1000. The money raised will be donated to the Salvation Army.

OUR GIFT: The Girls’ Club from South New Brighton School have helped pay for a Tanzania child to attend school. Recently they ran two car washes which raised $80. Following a visit from World Vision, they decided they would like to pay for a girl’s education in a third world country. The card they are pictured holding is a thank you card from the Tanzanian school.

LAZY RIDE: Pupils were full of smiles cruising around the lazy river.

BUMPY RIDE: Pupils had fun speeding around the hydroslides as well.

GROUP PHOTO: The leavers had a few final snaps while on camp.

Queenspark School’s year 8 pupils ended their year with a splash. All of the graduating pupils travelled to Hanmer Springs last week as part of their year 8 leavers’ camp. The pupils had a lot of fun playing in the lazy river, leisure pools and hydroslides.

A special ceremony held for Waitakiri School leavers was also the last on the school’s site.

Burwood and Windsor Schools were merged last year.

Waitakiri School was formed but operated out of the two sites called Wetlands and River

Campuses.But next year they will

physically combine for the first time at the former Windsor School site.

The year 6 pupils, the last on the Burwood site, were farewelled by the school on Wednesday.

Chisnallwood Intermediate’s Jai Oakley scooped up two titles at the recent Primary Schools Surfing Champs held last week-end.

Not only did Jai win the year 7 and year 8 categories at the competition held at North Beach, put also won the James Richie Me-morial Trophy.

Hosted by local club North Wai Board-riders, the competition was held for senior primary school pupils from all over the country.

Record entries this year and 11 different schools represented meant there was plen-ty of entertainment for the crowd.

Other pupils from the eastern suburbs schools also did well, including New Brighton Catholic, South New Brighton and Rawhiti schools.

The day started off with the year 8 boys competition.

The boys revelled in the near perfect conditions with all four top seeds progress-ing through to the final.

New Brighton Catholic School’s Myka Black excelled in the early heats but Jai performed a series of forehand snaps that

got him the nod over Myka.The third place recipient was Mad-

dy Barclay from Kakanui School, near Oamaru, and fourth was Josh McCaffrey from Chisnallwood.

Chisnallwood’s Maddie Wilson came in second in the year 8 girls competitions.

In the year 7 boys draw, it was too close to call between North Wai club mates Jai and Myka who battled it out for the top spot. But Jai took out his second title of the day though, with Myka finishing second. Third place was James Millar from New Brighton Catholic and Ben Chittock from Sumner came fourth.

The year 7 and under girls draw saw Ava Henderson, from Sumner, and New Brigh-ton Catholic’s Lily Robertson took home first and second prizes respectively.

South New Brighton’s Leah Wilson came third.

For the year 6 boys category, the judges placed Liam Heasely of Brookfield School, Tauranga, in first place, with second going to Tom Robertson of New Brighton Catho-lic.

Rawhiti’s Mateo Bec came fourth.

Surfer in form

CARVING IT UP: Jai Oakley was the winner of year 7 and year 8 competitions in the South Island Primary School Championships.

Shirley Boys’ High School student Dean van der Busse is now a national cham-pion.

The national secondary schools athlet-ics championships were held in Timaru on December 5-6.

Dean won the senior high jump title af-ter he cleared 1.99m, just ahead of Liam

Speer from Massey High School in sec-ond place with a jump of 1.96m.

Redcliffs homeowner, Peter Cook, with Managing Director Andrew Callaghan of lead contractors Callaghan Ltd who completed the repair, according to Peter, “on time and to the highest standard.”

CHRP better managed says Auditor GeneralEQC is doing better at managing the Canterbury Home Repair Programme (CHRP) but still has areas it could improve, says the latest report card from the Auditor-General.

The Auditor-General’s latest report found progress in all areas where change was recommended in its 2013 audit of CHRP, including communication with customers, repair auditing and the way repair work was organised.

It also noted that repair costs in the programme had been well managed and workplace injury rates were low.

The areas where EQC could improve its performance included customer communications, managing complaints and the “mixed performance” experienced by some customers, including some vulnerable customers.

Chief Executive Ian Simpson say EQC will be incorporating lessons from the follow-up audit as part of its work improving how it meets customers’ needs.

The report Earthquake Commission: Managing the Canterbury Home Repair Programme – follow-up audit can be read at: www.oag.govt.nz/2015/eqc-follow-up

In the Know Hub to closeThe In the Know Hub at Eastgate Mall will close its doors as scheduled on Thursday 17 December 2015.

The Hub is a collaboration of earthquake-related agencies offering a one-stop shop for residents with enquiries. Since its formation in April, it has been visited by more than 4800 people and hosted more than 20 different seminars.

In the future, the agencies will continue to support and work with residents to ensure their issues are progressed effectively. The agencies involved in the Hub recognise the importance of continuing to work together to understand community needs.

Any residents still engaging with the Hub through the community hosts, will be contacted prior to the Hub’s closure.

Residents can continue to be supported through:

— Residential Advisory Service 03 3797027

— Canterbury Earthquake Temporary Accommodation Service 0800 673 227

— Earthquake Support Coordination Service 0800 777 846

ILV community meetings, 2016As part of settling claims for Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage, the Earthquake Commission (EQC) has held 12 community meetings this year for customers who have received or about to receive a qualification pack which informs customers whether or not they qualify for this type of land damage.

For January, 2016, EQC is changing its planned schedule of meetings to reflect that most customers will have already received their qualification packs. Instead of an originally planned eight meetings for January 2016, EQC will now hold two on:

— 20 January at 7pm at Beulah Church, 140 Springfield Rd in St Albans; and

— 28 January at 7pm at Papanui Bowls Sports Club, 181 Condell Ave.

Homeowners who can’t make it to one of EQC’s ILV qualification community meetings can call us on 0800 326 243 or visit www.eqc.govt.nz/ILV for more information.

Tens of thousands of customer files in an EQC storage facility. Just one of the hundreds of photos given to the CEISMIC archive.

EQC in digital archivesThe Earthquake Commission is adding 26GB of video and photographs to University of Canterbury’s CEISMIC public digital archive, which preserves knowledge and memories of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.

EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson recently presented stage one of EQC’s contribution to the University’s Vice-Chancellor Dr Rod Carr.

CEISMIC is a searchable archive, which documents the experience of Cantabrians through the earthquakes. It aims to be a single portal to help other communities and the nation learn from Canterbury’s natural disaster experience.

“CEISMIC is an important innovation, and we’re glad to support its work by sharing

what we have to help document a very poignant and significant time in the life of Canterbury,” Mr Simpson says.

EQC has worked closely with UC and its teaching staff over a number of years to support its earth science and engineering research capability, Mr Simpson says.

“As well as funding a range of research, EQC also supports the Quake Centre-Industry Fellowship and QuakeCoRE, a national network of earthquake resilience researchers. EQC is committed to research into, and education about, natural disaster risk, and investing in the University’s earth science and engineering research is a vital part of our role in these areas,” Mr Simpson says.

Merry Christmas and thank you from EQC2015 has been another big year for us at the Earthquake Commission as we continue making progress on our work in Canterbury in the wake of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.

In the Canterbury Home Repair Programme, from the 70,000 homes that we committed to fix back in 2010, we’re now down to the last 800 home repairs, which are either in progress or where we will soon start. There’s another 500 home repair customers that we are working with to agree a settlement option for them.

We’ve started settling some of the most complex land claims where the properties have increased

vulnerability to liquefaction or flooding, and have released our report about our Ground Improvement Programme. This is world-leading research into how we can build affordable homes on land prone to liquefaction.

The EQC Act Review got underway this year, so there has been some public consultation on how parts of the Act might be improved. Consultation has confirmed the EQC scheme’s value, and may go further to remove some inefficiencies and uncertainties of the existing Act.

Once we receive the final results of the EQC Act review they will be used, together with lessons from Canterbury, to help build the

EQC that is fit for the future and better prepared for the next big natural disaster.

We have had a number of natural disasters this year – the June earthquake in Dunedin, the floods in Whanganui and, more recently, the Pongaroa earthquake in which EQC used lessons learned from its Canterbury earthquakes experience to improve EQC’s response.

Our focus for 2016 is to complete all remaining home repairs, including any remedial work, and to cash settle all outstanding land and building claims.

My sincerest thanks go to all the Canterbury customers who have patiently waited so long for their

homes to be repaired or their claims to be resolved. I also want to thank the agencies and community groups who have worked so hard for the people of Canterbury.

To those hardworking EQC staff who remain dedicated to completing our role in Canterbury, thank you so very much. Finally, I must thank all the other New Zealanders who – through their insurance levies – have helped fellow Kiwis when their lives were turned upside down by a natural disaster.

I wish you all a safe Christmas and joyful New Year with family and friends.

Ian Simpson EQC Chief Executive

New Brighton offers such an amazing choice of unique shops, that locals know they don’t need to battle the traffic to finish off

their seasonal shopping.One of the coolest places in town for a

dizzying variety of gifts is at 105 Brighton Mall. As soon as you step inside this Artisan Emporium and breathe in the rich smells, you know you are in an atmosphere crackling with creativity. Set out like an indoor market, the emporium is open plan with no barriers between the individual shops. It operates like a gallery so that shoppers can meander between the hand-crafted homewares and enjoy the shabby chic environment. Shoppers can choose from art, photography, organic beauty care, vintage and retro items and crystals, so there’s something for even

the most hard-to-buy-for relative. Just a few doors away, Seaside Treasures

is a fantastic little community shop with locally made crafts, jewellery, baby clothing, blankets and heaps more.

New Brighton isn’t just great for gift shopping; they have two local florists, and New Brighton Fresh has local fruit and vegetables, organic meats and Christmas hams now in store. There’s everything for your festive table, from the Christmas lilies to the meal, right on your doorstep.

To really get you in the festive spirit, this year’s Community Christmas Carols takes place between 6pm and 8pm on Christmas Eve at the amphitheatre next to the library and features children’s entertainment, a bouncy castle, face painting, a local band and plenty of carolling to ring in Christmas

Day. There are also carols in the Community Market on December 19.

Once the stress of Christmas is behind you, New Brighton is a great place to think of with the summer holidays in mind. The long, sandy beach has safe swimming with lifeguards on patrol, so it’s a perfect spot for a family day by the sea making sandcastles and running through the dunes. There’s boogie boarding and surfing, and the pier itself is a fantastic spot to indulge in a little angling.

Of course, there’s more to the seaside

suburb than relaxing on the beach. On January 23, the buskers are back. The SCIRT World Buskers’ Festival will again be bringing some world-class acts to Christchurch, and on the final Saturday of the festival, the Buskers Roadshow will be in New Brighton, bringing comedy and stunning acrobatics to the streets. The fun starts at midday with Beat the Streets, followed by the Kamikaze Fireflies at 12.50pm, then Lisa Lottie at 1.40pm and, finally, Pogo Fred at 2.30pm.

January 30, giving kids of all ages the chance to see some of the most amazing kites in New Zealand and buy and fly their own on New Brighton’s flat beach. While kite lovers hit the sand most days when the conditions are right, this spectacular event brings kite makers from around the world. The New Brighton Silver Band will be on hand to add musical accompaniment and even if you aren’t tempted to join in the fun, there’s still no better way to spend a summer’s day than one spent watching kites, and eating fish and chips and ice cream on the beach.

The following month is a busy one. On February 13, the Coast to Coast comes to town. This iconic multi-sport event starts on the West Coast at Kumara Beach, crosses the width of the South Island and for the second

year running, finishes in New Brighton. To celebrate, a concert has been organised, and the annual Love Market, held in honour of local musician Pete Love, takes place. Then, on February 27, the annual Community Concert gives locals the chance to showcase their talents.

Many of these events are thanks to the hard work of the team at the New Brighton Project. Their regular Seaside Market runs through until December 19 for any last-minute pre-Christmas purchases and reopens on January 9, after a much-needed break. Featuring stalls with local and international crafts and produce, and often with live music playing, the Seaside Market has become a destination in its own right.

BEEF WELLINGTON

This recipe has been in-spired by Andrew Clarke, a recently appointed Beef + Lamb Ambassador for 2016. INGREDIENTS 600g-700g whole beef filletsalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2-3 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, diced 75g mushrooms, diced 350g ready-rolled puff pastry (I used Maxwells) 2 tbsp hot English mus-tard 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

METHOD Trim the fillet of silver-

skin, if required. Season. Heat a little oil in a fry-

ing pan and sear the meat briefly on all sides, until browned. Remove from the pan and cool.

Add more oil to the fry-ing pan. Saute the onions and mushrooms until ten-der and there is no liquid left in the pan. Season. Cool.

Roll out the pastry (35cm x 24cm) on a clean bench. Spread the mustard over the top of the fillet. Turn the fillet mustard-side down. Place lengthwise across the pastry in the centre. Top the beef with the mush-room mixture. Fold the pastry over to enclose the meat and filling. Fold the ends together and press neatly and firmly together. Ensure any overlapping edges are not too thick or it will not cook properly.

Any scraps can be made into shapes to decorate the top. Chill until ready to cook. Preheat the oven to 220C. Place the beef package in an oiled roast-ing pan. Brush all over with egg yolk. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 190C and continue cooking for 10-15 min-utes, depending on thick-ness. The pastry should be golden and crisp. Stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Excellent served with a beef glaze or red wine sauce. Suggested wine match: Syrah

— Serves 6

ROAST TURKEY A L’ ORANGE

Because Croziers’ Free Range turkeys are lean, you need to protect them with foil or an oven bag to prevent them drying out during cooking.

INGREDIENTS 4.5kg Crozier Freerange Turkey2 oranges 200g packet sage & onion stuffing salt and pepper to taste 1/4-1/2 cup orange juice 50g butter, melted Glaze: 1/4 cup orange juice 1 tbsp each: powdered gelatine, sugar

METHODEnsure the turkey is

thawed enough to remove the giblets. Run cold water through the inside of the turkey then pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and pat in.

To make the stuffing, finely grate the rind of

the oranges. Remove the pith and dice the flesh. Place the rind and flesh in a bowl with the stuff-ing mix, seasonings and enough orange juice to bind.

Preheat the oven to 160C.

Loosely fill the neck and main cavity with the stuff-ing. Secure the legs and neck with skewers to hold the stuffing in, or place a large onion at the entrance to the main cavity to hold the stuffing.

Place the turkey in a large roasting dish, breast-side up. Brush with the butter. Place about 2 cups of water in the roasting pan. Cover the pan loosely with foil. Roast for about 40 minutes per 500g of turkey plus 30 minutes extra, until the legs ease away from the body with gentle pulling. Baste at least twice during cook-ing. Remove the foil dur-ing the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Combine the glaze ingredients and heat until the gelatine and sugar are dissolved. Prick the turkey skin with a needle then brush with the glaze.

Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Brush with the glaze again and continue cooking until the skin is golden and crisp. Stand for about 10 minutes before carving. — Serves about 10

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.

Blood pressure monitors and further information on how to improve your overall health and blood pressure naturally are available from the natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Rd, New Brighton. Phone 388 5757. We are always happy to help!

Taking the pain out of Christmas

If you or someone you know suffers from painful arthritis, night cramps or swollen feet and hands, a gift of an Aircycle could be just the Christmas present you

are looking for. It’s small enough to post and simple to use.

This NZ invention has helped thousands of New Zealanders for years.

“My leg muscles are so much stronger and my circulation greatly improved,” reported a 93-year-old. “And I can sleep the night undisturbed by cramps – a real bonus!”

It’s a great circulation booster, reduces swollen ankles, helps relieve joint and muscle pain, strengthen leg muscles to support joints

and improve balance and mobility. “After a 26-hour flight, I skipped off the plane

with no ankle swelling,” said Tess Rowley.An Aircycle could be the best present you

buy this year – not only taking the pain out of Christmas, but giving someone lasting health benefits and years of pain relief.

Aircycles have a lifetime guarantee, are available from pharmacies, Diabetes Christchurch, Aspire Canterbury and More Mobility.
