INSIDE: Living life to fullest after sickness, p6-7 School holiday fun, p10

TOM DOUDNEY

The temporary closure of designated freedom camping areas has provided a late season boom for Linwood camping grounds.

All Seasons Holiday Park owner Ross Lee said there had been a notable pick up in business since freedom campers were banned from the areas on March 16.

When the freedom camping areas had been opened up, he estimated it had cost him between $30,000 and $50,000 in lost earnings over summer.

Its come two months too late but the first two weeks of that ban we had a 50 per cent increase in people staying, Mr Lee said.

We had a 10 per cent increase for this time of year over the same time last year, so there were more people about but we missed out on a whole lot of them because they had the freedom camping open all summer.

The city council introduced a freedom camping bylaw last year, and camping was allowed at five spots, including Ferrymeads Windsport Park, French Farm and Wainui.

But the move caused contro-versy after reports of freedom campers parking up at those spots,

overstaying their allowed time and overusing the toilets, forcing it to be temporarily banned until May 31.

Windsport Park was the most heavily used freedom camping areas before the ban, with 41 vehicles parked up there on average. Addington Park had 17 vehicles, French Farm had 19, Lower Styx River Mouth had eight and Wainui had six.

The city councils regulation and consents committee has recommended that a review of the freedom camping bylaw be brought forward.

Avon City Backpackers owner Irinka Britnell said the number of campers staying with them had more than doubled since the ban.

It was the end of the summer season so its too late to make much of a difference but it has made a bit of a difference.

Some of the campers had told her freedom camping had been too difficult since the ban.

Mr Lee said several of his recent customers had told him they had stayed at Windsport Park in Ferrymead before it closed and had come to the holiday park instead.

He would be really annoyed if the areas were reopened.

Construction is well under way on the new and improved New World Ferry Rd, signalling the start of a major facelift for the Woolston shopping area.

The new supermarket, which will open in August, is being built at the south-east end of the Woolston shops, beside the ex-isting New World and opposite the historic church of St John the Evangelist.

Woolston Auto Surgery owner Craig Paterson said the opening of the new supermarket would be a fantastic thing for the area and something which would also bring more trade to other businesses.

It kind of just rejuvenates the area a bit, especially with losing things like the post office and the bank, so its about trying to get the village cranking again, really.

Zigs Hair Salon owner Debra Radovonich agreed.

Weve been here 37 years and we have always had a su-permarket there but Im sure its going to be a nice revamp.

New World Ferry Rd owner-operator Greg Boock said locals and commuters would be hard-pressed not to have noticed the new development steadily taking shape.

The walls and the roof are going up, Mr Boock said.

And some of the old Woolston shops have been removed too, making our loca-tion far more visible than it was before.

Mr Boock said the supermar-ket would employ more staff than before.

Right now we employ about

40 people, he said.But with the new store we

expect to at least double that fig-ure when we open in August.

Mr Boock said Woolston was undergoing an exciting regen-eration process.

There is a lot of building going on, both commercial and residential, and its obvious that new life is being breathed into

this historic end of town, and were very pleased and proud to be part of that.

The supermarket will have a footprint of about 3000 sq m, about four times the area of the existing store.

Mr Boock said it would also include wider aisles, automated self-service checkouts and an expanded range of products.

Supermarket takes shape

PROGRESS: Greg Boock and daughter Lily on the site of the new New World Ferry Rd supermarket, expected to open in August.

MARKET FOR ROWLEYThe Rowley Resource Centre is calling on residents in the area to support it by renting a stall space at an upcoming market. The market is to raise funds to replace the centres earthquake-damaged garage which is needed so it can host more com-munity events. The market will be held at the centre, which is at 89 Rowley Ave, this Saturday at 11am-1pm.

CYCLIST HURTA female cyclist, in her 40s, was taken to Christchurch Hospital on Thursday after a collision with a car at the intersection of Cobham and Barrington Sts at about 5.20pm. A St John spokesman said the woman had sustained moderate injuries.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CARLyttelton Port of Christchurch is sponsoring a car for the Canterbury Youth Development Programme. The programme co-ordinators make home visits to disadvantaged youth and their families, and provide transport for them to get to work and educational opportunities. LPC chief executive Peter Davie said it was hoped the contribution would support safer and more secure homes for Canterburys youth and the flow on effects would benefit the region.

MARK THOMAS FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Last Monday saw the latest ship fire in port at Lyttelton.

I say latest because while these events are uncommon they have occurred here at different times over the years.

Ship firefighting is probably one of the most challenging scenarios for firefighters.

They involve entry into an unfamiliar environment which involves close confined spaces encased in steel that becomes searingly hot.

Theres only limited ability to vent smoke so

firefighters often work by touch inside their protec-tive clothing relying on the breathing apparatus on their back to keep them alive.

For the incident com-manders there are further considerations that must be factored in.

If you pour enough water into a ship eventually the liquid can start to slop. The ship will list, more water will pour to the lower side and as has occurred at several times throughout history, the vessel may well fall over.

Thats something you are acutely aware of when youre sending firefight-ers into to quell a fire.

Its why everyone is relieved when the fire is extinguished reasonably quickly without incident as happened on Monday. Four people, including ships crew were treated for smoke inhalation.

On the subject of smoke inhalation nobody should be surprised that one of the four kitchen fires this week involved somebody having to receive treatment for smoke inhalation.

Every week is the same. Occasionally it becomes more serious. Sometimes people die.

If you cant immediately extinguish the fire, for goodness sake, get out, close the door, phone 111. Simple youd think!

Ship fires are challenging

NEW LOCATION ADVERT.pdf 1 1/05/2014 11:51:35 a.m.

OUR LOCATION

This is my 26th year in this amazing profession and I have to admit sadly I have never experienced Breeding first hand. My son Isaac nags us all the time to breed Abbysinnians as we are so in love with our two, Spartacus and Piper. All of us wanted to breed from Lola (I had loads of clients and staff wanting a pup of hers!) but after we realized she had the dreaded Split Pad Disease, we felt this was a cruel trait to pass down to unsuspecting new owners. AND then she developed kidney cancer, so we made the right decision to desex her which has made absolutely no difference to her personality or the awesome family member she has become.

Very good friends of mine (Mala and Kev) have for a while expressed an interest in breeding from their impressive, young White Swiss Shepherd dog (WSSD) Indie. All Malas life she has loved and owned German Shepherds and had her fair share of heartaches with illness and hereditary disease, which sadly goes with the breed. Mala and Kevs last treasured pet Hunter among other things, ended up having spinal surgery for lumbosacral disease in her later years. Then she succumbed to degenerative myelopathy and ended up living out her days happily in a doggie wheelchair. So for my dear friends, their pets are an extension of themselves, to be loved and cherished and they will go to any lengths to ensure they have the best life possible.

As Mala says, After Hunter and her spinal injury and likely degenerative myelopathy, we wanted to get another dog that had as many safeguards against the diseases that were common to German Shepherds and other large breeds. Lucky for us we stumbled across Pandora Kennels and their White Swiss Shepherds. It was here that we found a breeder who does health testing, hip and elbow scoring and breeding of good personality matches with the aim of ultimately improving the WSSD. When we got Indie we never thought breeding from her would be an option but we quickly developed a friendship with Tanya and her family which has allowed us to embark on this journey. Tanya had watched Indie grow and became to realize she was a fine example of the breed. This means a good balance of desired temperament, conformation and breed requirements.

Firstly Indie under went hip and elbow radiographs at McMaster & Heap to make sure her scores were good and she wasnt going to pass down undesirable traits. DNA tests were also performed to check for common diseases in this breed. The main diseases tested for in this breed are Degenerative Myelopathy Von Willebrands and MDR1 (Multi drug resistance). A cheek swab is all that is needed. Indie passed all the tests with flying colours. Obviously Mala has her fully vaccinated and up to date with parasite control. As you can see from the photos, shes a picture of glamour, confidence and health.

The next step in the long process to puppies was finding a mate for Indie, changing the

pedigree papers to allow breeding and organizing the right time as Mala would need time off work to supervise Indie and her babies. WSSDs can have large litters so many hands

on deck were likely especially in the early weeks. The breeder Tanya looked carefully at males available and their bloodlines to make sure there wasnt any inbreeding at play. Floyd from Levin was the lucky stud dog chosen.

Indie came into season at the beginning of April, which started with bloodspots and lasted for about 10-14 days before shed allow Floyd to mate her. When she ovulates this means she will stand for the male dog and allow mating. She may be

mated several times over 2-4 days around this period. After ovulation and mating, there is another week where the bitch cools down before she is totally safe to be walked on the streets again.

So the waiting game now begins. How exciting for us all to follow Indie, her pregnancy and hopefully new babies in June/July. Firstly Mala and Kev will notice a change in behavior, maybe she will gain a bit of weight and her nipples will pink up. Catherine will be able to ultrasound at around 28 days to see if there are multiple fetal heart beats. A blood test at around day 22-28 can determine a pregnancy based on high relaxin levels. I will definitely keep you all posted follow us on Facebook to learn more about Indie and her journey to new life!

Now a little about the WSSDs from the Breeder.White Swiss Shepherd dogs are relatively rare and new in New Zealand. The breed originates from German Shepherds, which included white sheepherding dogs when the breed was formed back in the 1800s. The white colour became undesirable after WW2, so whites were only bred in secret. Luckily Switzerland approved a new breed in 1991 called White Swiss Shepherds and now this breed is recognized in most countries over the world.

The White Swiss Shepherds still have similarities to their cousins the German Shepherds but everyone owning a white will notice the difference in looks and temperament. White Swiss Shepherds are family dogs who love children and visitors and are non-aggressive towards other dogs. They need regular exercise and excel in dog sports. Of course socialization and proper training is the key to a well mannered dog.

What Mala and Kev say about their breed..The things that impress us most about the breed are their personalities and physical stature. They are bred to be strong, particularly in the hips, an area where other breeds lack consistency and health. Their personality is 10/10- they are friendly, calm, loyal and protective when needed....they truly are mans best friend! The breed is one that, in our mind, represents a strength of character and presence that is unsurpassed. They simply are a fantastic breed!

Garry Knight, of Hoon Hay The proposed Christchurch Adventure Park is a very innovative concept.

Comprising of an operations building, cafe, restaurant, lodge accommodation, bike school, bike repair and rental, admin centre and changing rooms is reflective of the in-depth plan-ning for this attraction.

However, reality must prevail in respect of concerns from lo-cal residents over the increased traffic flow generated from those attending the park. It is therefore imperative for the city council to consider installation of traffic lights at intersections of Hoon Hay and Worsleys Rds at their junctions with Cash-mere Rd.

There also needs to be vigilance along this section of Cashmere Rd in respect of upgrading, and in some areas realigning to compensate for the myriad of those travelling to the Christchurch Adventure Park.

The criteria of the 2015-2025 Long Term City Council plan to operate grants for community well being is surely the catalyst to ensure these essential up-grades sanctioned for benefit of local residents also those travel-

ling to this park complex.

Lee Sampson, of Cashmere The Worsleys/Cashmere Rd junction has never being the easiest to exit, so this is not a new issue.

Its definitely busier now with new housing in the area plus the effects of the construction re-lated vehicles entering/existing the adventure park but I think thats fairly minimal.

Lets not have a knee-jerk reaction here and be confident that we are taking the right practical steps prior to push-ing ahead for the traffic lights that could, without due pro-cess, increase safety risks for our community and cost the ratepayers of Christchurch circa $500,000.

So beforehand lets take a step by step approach and consider: Can we improve the exist-ing junction? Could we install traffic-calming measures on Cashmere Rd thereby improv-ing the exit out from Worsleys Rd? What will be the impact to the shops directly adjacent to the junction? What is the cur-rent and projected incident rate data for this junction? Traffic lights (as proposed) could cause incident rates to effectively rise.

We may still end of with traffic lights, but lets all be confident weve collectively found the best solution.

Dog attacks are back in the news again. Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue founder Abbey van der Plas (right) writes about perceptions of dangerous breeds. What are your views? Email andrew.king@starmedia.kiwi

Why do I always feel so defensive whenever there is a dog attack in New Zealand?

Pitbull attack gets thrown around in the media and it makes all of us responsible owners cringe.

The stares and whispers have lasted longer while walking lately, the head shaking and finger pointing has been more prominent, and the hate on social media has gotten completely out of control.

Why? Because some people decide to get a dog, confine it to their yards, not socialise it with the outside world, not desex it, not register or microchip it, and then expect this dog to react appropriately when put in a situation it has never learned to cope with.

The fact is when you get a dog, no matter what breed, it is your responsibility to train and socialise this dog. It is your

responsibility to keep your dog and visitors to your home safe.

Pitbulls are not born dangerous, I can guarantee you that, but they do require strong, responsible and knowledgeable owners.

Yes, pitbulls were used for dog fighting, I am not deny-ing this, but this does not at all mean that they are blind killing machines.

Jack russells, chihuahuas, fox terriers and dachshunds were also all bred to hunt and kill other animals, and they too make amazing pets when socialised and trained correctly.

All dogs are born good. The pitbulls you see in the media, and the dogs you see roaming your streets are the minority of

bull breed dogs. They are the less fortunate ones, the ones being bred from, neglected, left to roam, not given adequate care, training or socialisation.

We are the majority. You dont see or hear of our won-derful family pets because they are kept safe within our homes and treated with the love and respect every dog deserves.

We need to have a serious look at our animal management systems and make sure we are doing everything we can to educate owners, educate children, enforce mandatory desexing and keep our dogs and children safe.

I challenge anyone to meet my pitbull and leave still thinking they are a horrible breed.

All dogs are born good

Focused on health, jewellery making

You have led an interesting life. Well start with the burlesque dancing.

I got into dancing about three years ago. I started off doing burlesquercise with burlesque dancers Bonita Dangerdoll and Ruby Ruin. I basically fell in love straight away and asked them to be my mentors. I have been learn-ing from them for the last few years until I got sick last year.

What happened?I came down with hypona-

tremia which is when you have a sodium deficiency. Basically I didnt get enough sodium in my body and so it depleted all my vitamins and minerals. I was in hospital for five and a half months. I couldnt walk for about three months of that. I was bed-ridden for the whole of the duration. In and out of a coma. It was really scary because it took the hospital three months to

figure out what was wrong with me. I lost 20kg. It was pretty horrific. But since then I have gotten back on my feet my health is a lot better. But Ive come out with a chronic pain disorder.

Tell me about your chronic pain disorder?

So I have recovered fully from the hyponatremia. However, it did trigger the underlying pain disorder. I have pains in my hands and my feet. It is affected by hot and cold weather. It is basically an artery disorder. The blood tries to flow but the arter-ies close and that is what causes pain. Its the extreme tempera-tures that trigger it.

And when you were in a coma were you aware of your surroundings?

I knew what was going on and it felt like a fight between life and death. This will sound really

weird but it felt like the after-life I dont know about that but it felt like I was waiting for a decision to be made. It didnt feel like I was in control. The last time I woke up my friend came in and half her hair was black and half was red, like the Harlequin character. My friend wears bright colours and I feel like that was the reason I woke up. I was stimulated by seeing the bright hair colour.

It must have been a

traumatic experience being in such a state.

It was horrible. It was the most peaceful part though because I was in a lot of pain. Because the hospital didnt know what was wrong with me for a long time, they continually sent me home the first month with morphine and all these horrible painkill-ers I didnt need to be on at all because that was not what was wrong with me.

Do you have last memories

before you went in a coma?No, it was just being over

it, being in pain. Hating it and waiting for doctors to fix me. And being upset that no one was doing anything to figure out what was wrong with me. It didnt feel like they were trying hard enough or I was being lis-tened to. My whole body was in pain and I was in hot sweats.

Could you describe to me what effect it had on your family and friends?

After being in and out of a coma for five months, Angelah Rose, 25, believes in living life to the fullest. She spoke to Georgia OConnor-Harding about fighting back from health problems, her successful jewellery business and burlesque dancing.

and dance after battling sicknessTo be honest it had a really

negative effect on them. I didnt see a lot of them for a long time because some of them couldnt cope with what was happen-ing. My mum along with other members in my family had to get counselling. It was traumatic for everybody involved. And it took me a long time to handle that because I felt responsible for making people feel that way.

Because the doctors took so long to find out. Some weeks they figured out what was wrong and the next week it would be something else.

Did you get into hospital quickly?

No. I went into emergency every two nights straight before they even listened. Once they thought they figured it out they sent me home. I went home for three days and had another collapse and they put me back in hospital. My mum came in and said she wouldnt leave until they had run every test they could.

How are you doing now? I now have my own shop

out in New Brighton. I make jewellery, dance and focus on my health. I do pace myself. I started making jewellery about

four years ago. I am really well-known for my body pieces.

Tell me about your jewellery business Angelah Rose Jewellery?

My shop is out at 105 Brighton Mall. What I learnt when I got out of hospital was I didnt want to work for anybody

else other than friends or family if I needed to for help.

You need to being doing things every day that makes you happy. Im working for myself and living all my dreams. It did bring me closer to jewellery. I didnt use to enjoy it as much but now I

know what I can do with it. People originally wore

jewellery not only for ornamental reasons they wore it because metal is conductive. They conduct energy. All precious stones hold energy. Its how people healed themselves in the old days.

It is great to hear you are still dancing.

I have just got into burlesque in the last three months and I love it. It is the one thing I cried about most when I was in hospi-tal not being able to dance. It was so hard. I love dancing and it is my passion.

Is burlesque dancing for anyone?

Anybody can do it. Male, female any shape and size. Even if you dont have rhythm it is so much fun. There are ladies of all walks of life that do it where I attend. It is empowering for women. It teaches you how to be yourself and shine as bright as you can. It lets you not allow any social perception get you.

Has it taken you anywhere in terms of travelling?

Not yet. To be honest I havent taken it as seriously as I could. But that is something I want to get into more in the future.

I have the opportunity to get a burlesquercise licence which I will probably take to another town and teach it.

But now I am just learning as much as I can. I would like to take burlesque to Queenstown where I grew up because there is nothing like that at the moment. I have got a lot of modelling jobs from it so far.

Wow, what modelling have you done?

It is just with photographers throughout New Zealand. So there have been a couple of mens magazines that I have featured in. The most recent one was the ALTearoa magazine.

What is the most important thing you have taken away from being in hospital?

It has been terrible but it hasnt stopped me living a full life. It has given me a new perspective to take each moment. And also health is wealth. Looking after yourself and eating properly. All you need is to get a blood test every now and again to make sure everything is all good. I hadnt been to the doctor for a year before having hyponatremia but now I will be getting regular check ups.

Support agencies available for customersThe Earthquake Commission continues to work with customer advisory agencies to progress the settlement of customer claims, and answer customer queries.

Residents can continue to be supported through:

Residential Advisory Service, 03 379 7027

Canterbury Earthquake Temporary Accommodation Service, 0800 673 227

Earthquake Support Coordination Service, 0800 777 846

EQC, 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243)

OR, your individual insurer.

Damage from one of the February 2016 earthquakes.

First deadlines for February 2016 earthquakes approaching

EQCs February 2016 Event Response Manager, Jayne Lapin.

The deadlines to lodge damage claims for the February 2016 earthquakes in Christchurch are fast approaching, says EQC February 2016 Event Response Manager, Jayne Lapin.

If your home, land or contents suffered damage in the 14 February earthquake, your claim must be lodged by: 16 MAY 2016

The deadline for lodging a claim for home, contents or land damage suffered in the 29 February earthquake is: 30 MAY 2016

EQC cannot help someone under the EQC Act, if they miss the relevant deadline for lodging their claim, so we strongly encourage Christchurch homeowners who suffered damage to homes from the 14th or 29th February quakes to lodge a claim no matter how minor, Ms Lapin says.

EQC has started settling claims for Christchurch residents who suffered damage in the February 2016 earthquakes. The first priority was vulnerable customers whose homes were earthquake damaged. Now work has started to progressively contact other customers.

Already 10% of the contents claims we have received from the February 2016 quakes have been settled and we anticipate that almost all claims will be settled by the end of September this year, said Ms Lapin. The settlement of these claims will definitely not slow the progress of claim settlements for the 2010 and 2011 earthquake events.

DIFFERENT APPROACHEQC is speeding up claims processing for this event, using a different approach, built on lessons learned from previous natural disaster events in New Zealand. Most customers will be phoned to verify information through desktop assessment in order to cash settle their claim.

Assessors will not necessarily visit peoples homes, if claims can be verified and assessed by phone from information and evidence provided by customers. Claim spot checks, auditing and other methods are being used to help safeguard against fraud.

EQC will not manage repairs for the February 2016 earthquake event, unless there is a good reason to, i.e. if a claim is complex, there is extensive damage or a customers circumstances require it.

People can lodge claims with EQC:

online at www.eqc.govt.nz/claims by emailing info@eqc.govt.nz or phoning 0800 DAMAGE (326 243)

CONTENTS DAMAGE CLAIMSCustomers will need to complete a Schedule of Contents form, listing all damaged items. This should include the make, model and serial number of any damaged appliances. Forms can be found at www.eqc.govt.nz/claims/make-claim/contents-claim or by calling: 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243).

Remember to:

Take photographs of all of your damaged items (if possible), and clearly state whether it is earthquake damage. The more information you can provide EQC, the better.

Include valuations, quotations and receipts for items of significant value (greater than $500). Your retailer will usually have records for new items you have purchased.

Ensure you include your EQC claim number on the Schedule of Contents form, and all other supporting documents (e.g. photos, valuations) you send to EQC.

You should have received your claim number by email or phone, depending on which EQC channel you used to lodge your claim, e.g. email, phone, visiting website.

Keep all damaged items, unless they are perishable or dangerous especially those of significant value (greater than $500) in case EQC needs to inspect them.

EQC may need to inspect the items you have kept, or photographic evidence of items destroyed, to approve your claim.

EQC covers the cost of removal or disposal of damaged contents. To claim disposal costs, please send your receipts to EQC, noting your claim number on the receipt.

Customers can send their completed Schedule of Contents form and all additional information to:

The National Claims Team Earthquake Commission PO Box 311, Wellington 6140

Investigating a safe and cost-effective hybrid shear wall solution for future buildsTesting the strength of timber and steel walls on the worlds biggest, full scale shake table will be undertaken for the first time thanks to a grant from the Earthquake Commission (EQC).

The Canterbury rebuild is a proving ground for new, earthquake resilient construction designs such as lightweight, low-rise buildings that need bracing or shear walls.

But do we need newer, imported materials or can we do just as good a job by improvising with cost effective materials that are already available?

Thats what Canterbury Universitys Dr Minghao Li is exploring with a $67,000 grant from EQCs Biennial Grants Programme.

The research will involve a collaborative test project on a full-scale, five-storey timber-steel hybrid structure using the worlds largest shake table in China.

This shake table facility is powerful enough to test the actual performance of the proposed hybrid structure under strong earthquake ground motions, such as the ones from the Canterbury Earthquakes, Dr Li says.

The research will investigate how the timber and steel elements in the hybrid system would be integrated to give the optimal seismic performance. It will consider what fasteners and sheathing materials would be suitable for New Zealands construction market and what could be the most cost effective overall solution.

Well have a better idea of the research findings in 2017 and this will feed into ongoing earthquake strengthening design and builds in New Zealand, Dr Li says.

His research is one of 15 projects which have received $1 million in funding from EQCs 2016 Biennial Grants Programme. The Programme is part of $16 million granted by EQC each year to high quality research that builds knowledge about New Zealands natural disasters.

The University of Canterburys Dr Minghao Li, one of the recipients of EQCs Biennial Research Funding programme.

A Westmorland girls picture of a car which cleans up the environment has won her entry into an international competition.

Toni Wilson, 13, won the 12-15 age group category of the Toyota Dream Car Art contest, which has attracted about 1000 entries from around the country.

The top three placing artworks from each of the three age catego-ries are submitted in the Japan-based world contest with global winners announced in June.

Remarkably, this is the fourth time one of Tonis artworks has won entry into an international

competition over the last two years.

Tonis picture for the latest Toyota competition depicted a

solar-powered car which could create every type of weather and cleanse the earths air and ozone layer by picking up rubbish and cleaning the air with its fans.

I had heaps of ideas but they didnt really work out.

Then I was just doodling in my room and it came into my head.

Winners are invited to Japan to attend an award ceremony in August.

For winning the New Zealand contest, Toni received an Apple iPad Mini for herself and an Apple iPad Air for her school, Cashmere High.

A St Martins man has been awarded a $50,000 grant to help commercialise an idea he dreamed up 20 years ago which he hopes will transform the electric power industry.

The inaugural Canterbury Proof of Concept Grant was open to all Canterbury-based publicly funded research organ-isations and aims to help turn ideas into a marketable product or service.

It was won by Canterbury University engineering student John Morris.

The details of his idea are being kept under wraps due to commercial sensitivity. How-ever, he believes the technology has the potential to dramatically reduce the size and cost of fil-ters used in electrical networks worldwide.

Mr Morris said he was very grateful and excited to receive the grant.

The timing of it is perfect as we are right at the point of prov-ing the viability of the concept, he said.

It will also help establish my intellectual property position around the idea and enable full scale devices to be built for field trials.

Mr Morris initially did his

undergraduate degree in physics at Canterbury University 25 years ago and returned in 2014 to undertake postgraduate stud-ies on a part-time basis. He also works full time as an electrical engineer for IC Switchgear.

I thought of this nearly 20 years

ago and am delighted to now have the chance to develop it into a commercial product, he said.

My filter applies technology which was pioneered by Can-terbury University over three decades ago. I was inspired by researcher and teacher Emeritus Professor Pat Bodger, and was very fortunate to return to hear his final lectures on the subject before his retirement at the end of 2014.

Mr Morris hoped to demon-strate whether there was a com-mercial opportunity in his idea by the end of the year.

The grant is jointly funded by Return On Science and CDC Innovation.

LONG TIME COMING: Canterbury Proof of Concept Grant winner John Morris and the original prototype which he built for his filter research in 1997.

A former Cashmere High School student is heading over to the United States to follow his dreams on a basketball scholarship

Sam Riley, 18, is the first Kiwi to be heading over to Lake Region State College in North Dakota on a two year scholarship he got through the Mainland Eagles Basketball Academy.

The academy helps get young men and women into inter-national basketball through scholarships with universities and colleges overseas.

Riley has been playing basketball since he was 13 and got serious about playing internationally when he started watching NBA.

Watching those players I just saw how much work I had to do to be like that, so Ive been training every day for years, he said.

Riley has played for the New Zealand under-16 team, Lincoln High School and Cashmere High. He is currently playing for two Lincoln University teams and the Canterbury un-der-19 team.

He broke his collarbone recently, which means he wont

be playing any basketball for the next month, but that hadnt dented his excitement.

I know Ive got a lot to do, its really nerve-wracking but at the same time I cant wait, he said.

He credited a lot of his suc-cess to his family and coach, Ben Sheat, who had supported him since he was 12.

I cant say thank you enough

for the help and support theyve given me, there is no way I would be where I am if it werent for them.

Riley, who completed year 13 at Cashmere Higyh last year, will be heading to the US in August.

The Opawa St Martins Plunket Toy Library has reopened its Sandwich Rd premises after five years on the move.

The toy library was forced to operate from a series of temporary locations after the February 2011 earthquake damaged its building, shifting five times since then.

It has spent the last two years based at a squash court in the YMCA building in Hereford St before repairs were completed recently.

Toy library secretary Erin Wilmhurst said the reopening was a great day.

This move has been really important to us in terms of returning to that home

community, she said.Before the earthquakes we

had 450 members and at the mo-ment we have got about 150.

Of those, 52 members had turned up on the day of the re-opening and nine new members had signed up.

We are really confident that the move back to Sandwich Rd is the thing to drive membership back up again because at 150 members the toy library is a bit at risk, Ms Wilmhurst said.

The toy library has about 4500 toys.

Ms Wilmhurst said the toy library was appreciative of support from the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board and the Rata Foundation which had enabled it to keep running through the difficult period.

HAPPY DAY: The Opawa St Martins Plunket Toy Library was decorated with balloons for the reopening.

Toy library returns home to Beckenham

[Edition datE]2

Her initial aim was to figure out how she could lose weight and through their techniques she quickly understood that her eating was connected with how she felt. Turning to food was often an emotional reaction, but now, she says that food is no longer a crutch.

She credits the tools she learned from Click Weight Success with her transformation. When she reaches for food, she asks herself, Do I really want it? Do I need it? Will it satisfy me? Those simple questions have made a huge difference. I tell myself, Well, actually, it wont, so I go onto something else.

Her confidence shines through. She now wears shorts and dresses and she can accept a compliment. I would be able to tell people that looks lovely on you, but I was very critical of myself. Now I accept things more.

She has noticed the difference in how she feels when she wakes up most mornings, in

her attitude to food, which she is actually enjoying as, unlike being on a diet, she eats what and when she wants, and in her attitude to life. I am letting go of stuff. I held onto so much when I was heavy that I just ate. Now I focus more on whats in my life and where I want my life to go. Im finally happy with me.

This summer Alison enjoyed getting in the pool and playing with her children instead of feeling self-conscious. She is pleased she lost weight over Christmas but doesnt care what the scales say. I know Im still losing weight because of my clothes.

Her message for others trying to lose weight? Do the Click course. I wish I could have in my 20s because of the mindset it gives you

Horticulture Training for Christchurch Residents

Do your children lack self-confidence, or perhaps have so much energy that they need an outlet for it? Development through drama is the ideal approach to teach confidence and channel youthful energy while building self-esteem.

The Helen OGrady Drama Academy has been in New Zealand for 32 years. This highly regarded worldwide programme helps students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by acting confidently and speaking clearly. This unique, self-development programme helps achieve invaluable life skills. The confident, articulate child makes friends easily, accepts challenges and new directions. Confident children become well-rounded adults.

Our fully qualified teachers are trained in the Helen OGrady Drama system, they ensure each child is encouraged and valued in a warm, positive learning environment. Lessons stimulate and motivate students without the exam or peer group pressure. Weekly class activities include speech training, creative movement and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre programme encourages the development of leadership and organisational skills. Three terms of the year cover the self-development programme and in the fourth term all students prepare a performance for parents and friends. We also offer Trinity College London examinations as an option for those who wish to pursue an international qualification.

Our safe structured learning environment values student individuality and encourages team building. Most importantly its great fun too!

The full programme for Term 2 is available on the website www.risingholme.org.nz. Brochures are available at the Risingholme office and public libraries.

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field?

Not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. It is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities both professional and social.

Take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPR. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the

work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. New Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in Australia. They

mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents.

If you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Nestled on an 819-square-metre section in the heart of an eminently popular pocket of the city, our feature property really is the ultimate family home!

Our owner, who is an architect, has imbued this 1970s home with a sense of style and sophistication that is timeless. Four double bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) provide ample accommodation and are complemented by a well-appointed bathroom (with new vanity) and a separate powder room. The kitchen is simply exceptional, with everything from the soft-close drawers and cupboards to the fabulous finish, contributing to a space thats sure to impress even the most discerning chef.

Spacious open-plan living areas spill seamlessly out to the expansive grounds, where landscaped gardens, lush lawns and a large, sun-soaked deck promise endless hours of family fun. An office off the double garage adds to the appeal, as does the zoning for sought-after Riccarton High and Avonhead School, while the proximity to a host of convenient amenities ensures everything you could ever need is within easy reach.
