INITIATIVE: Thorrington School staff members Lisa Dowell, Jude Nuttridge and Principal Christine Harris are among those in the school ditching paper cups in favour of reusable coffee cups to help reduce the school’s environmental foot print. Administration manager Mrs Nuttridge initiated the change by collecting about 60 paper cups the school was using over a week. Now more than half of staff have endorsed the scheme. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

The Linwood-Woolston Pool development has been delayed for two years, a casualty of the city council rebuild project shake-up.
The facility was proposed to be finished mid-2018 but now it will not open until 2020.
On Tuesday, the city council announced that it would delay many projects, including the
pool complex, in a bid to spread cost and resource across a more realistic time frames.
But Hagley-Ferrymead Com-munity board members are fu-rious that the pool has been de-layed. They say the area has been waiting and lobbying for years to get a pool facility.
The old Woolston Out-door Pool, next door to former Woolston School now the Te Waka Unua School, was demol-
ished in 2006.In 2014 the city council looked
at building a pool in the south-east side of the city. In 2015 a $17m budget was put aside to build the facility, due to open mid-2018.
Community board chairwoman Sara Templeton said it had been a frustrating process.
“First being told for a year that we couldn’t start engaging with the community because the fund-
ing didn’t start until mid- 2016, then being told that we could start engaging before funding was allocated, but that funding was likely to be pushed out as we hadn’t started engaging yet.”
But there is a compromise on the table.
At last week’s city council meeting deputy mayor Vicki Buck said board had to put in the hard work to begin the con-sultation and site identification
and that could see the funding brought forward.
City councillor Yani Johansen said this was good news for the project.
“The council has reassured us that there is sufficient funding to do so and funding can be bought forward if required. So it’s a pos-itive result overall and reaffirms councils commitment to getting this important facility built as soon as possible.”

LIQUOR HEARINGA hearing will be held on Thursday for the highly controversial proposed liquor off-licence store proposed to be on the corner of Lincoln Rd and Spencer St. The city council received 39 objections about the application by Nekita Enterprises, including four of which came in after the official objection period closed. There are 17 businesses with a liquor off licence within 2km of the proposed premises.
LIBRARY REPAIRSOpawa Library, on the corner of Richardson Tce and Opawa Rd is scheduled to start repair in the third quarter of the year. The building was badly effected following the February 22, 2011, earthquake and has been closed since.
VEHICLE BANThe Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board has decided to ban vehicles from parking along the west side of York Tong Place in Addington. This decision has come as a result of residents stating it is unsafe for cars to park on the west side of the street. The prohibited stretch of road is from 55m south of its intersection with Disraeli St and extending in a southerly direction and continuing along the kerb line anti-clockwise for a distance of 97m.
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.

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.
Red Puppy Appeal under way
MILESTONE: Glenys Lintott and her family have been looking after future guide dog Vesper.
IN TRAINING: Glenys Lintott and Vesper, out and about.

CAITLIN MILESA contentious Barrington bus shelter will be made smaller so it will not unduly affect a nearby business.
A 7.35m bus shelter outside Barrington Eye Care on 16 Athelstan St was proposed to go outside by the city council and Environment Canterbury.
But Barrington Eye Care business owner Rochelle van Eyesden objected to the shelter because of the negative impact it could have on her business.
She told the panel the proposed bus shelter would obscure her business signage and make it hard for people to find, reduce light into her practice and take away on street parking.
The issue went before a hearings panel recently, of city councillors David East and Glenn Livingston and Hagley-Ferrymead community board member Islay McLeod, who said they would make the sign smaller and change the design to provide maximum light and visibility through the back of the shelter.
Construction on the bus shelter is due to start June.

New Brighton Pier’s fishing ban has been deemed a success, after numbers showed more people are now visiting.
Since the Sunday-only ban on fishing and crabbing was introduced in December, there has been a steady increase of visitors, peaking with 954 people on January 24.
Now, the group that looks after the pier intends to investigate whether there should be a permanent ban, or add more no-fishing days.
New Brighton Pier and Foreshore society deputy chairman Tim Sintes said people were coming back
now the danger of fishing rods is no longer there on Sundays.
“Word is getting out you can be out there [on the pier] without running the gauntlet of fishing rods,” he said.
He said the group would assess how the ban had gone, and may look at increasing the number of non-fishing days or put in place a permanent ban.
“We will assess how it has
all gone next summer and look at what we can improve on,” he said.
The Burwood-Pegasus Community Board decided in December to ban fishing and crabbing off the New Brighton Pier every Sunday, from 10am to 5pm for 12 months.
Mr Sintes said it was a good compromise because for the other days of the week people could fish.
“It is what you call a win-win,” he said.
City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said “a few” fishers have had to be asked to depart at the start of the exclusion period of 10am in the mornings.
“I would estimate that there were less than half a dozen turned away each day over the past two months (eight Sundays) since the implementation,” he said.
More visitors since ban
SLIGHT INCREASE: A fishing and crabbing ban on the New Brighton Pier on Sundays has been labelled a success by a community board member.

MoneyGet yourbooks rightBy Jeremy Tauri
Jeremy Tauri is an associate atPlus Chartered Accountants.
It’s fast approachingMarch 31 andthe end of the 2016 financial year.Whilemindswill turn to
getting the books into theaccountant for the taxmanafterthis date, you’ll need to do a coupleof things beforehand tomake sureyour numbers are solid.Doyour stocktake: If you carryinventory over $10,000 you’ll needto provide a stocktake to youraccountant. The value you’llprovidewill be at cost, but if youhave items that are hangingaround that areworthsignificantly less then get rid ofthem. It’s a good excuse to have anend of financial year sale.Write-off money you’re notgoing to receive:Got a fewproblem clients whom you’reunlikely to receive funds fromand you’ve tried everythingshort of begging them for themoney? You might want toconsider writing the debt off.If it’s in the 120-day-and-
over column and you’re noteven getting any smallpayments, the likelihood ofgetting paid is zero. To ensureyou don’t pay tax on moneyyou’re unlikely to receive, youneed to write them off out ofyour ledger before March 31,2016.Check your asset ledger forassets that are no longerthere: It’s surprising whatnuggets you’ll find in the assetledger. Windows 98 computers,old vehicles or trailers that hadbeen in accidents or are nowrusting in the paddock aresome of the things thatshouldn’t be in a current assetlist. Check out this part of yourfinancials to make sure that thelist is up to date and current.Discuss the implications ofremoving these with youraccountant.Defer any invoicing to nextyear: So you’ve had a good yearand the draft profit and lossresults are looking positive for2016. If you’re looking at nextyear being slightly downbecause of depreciation andcapital investment funded byloans into your business thenyou might want to deferinvoicing to the next year.

YOUR KIWISAVER
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.
Saving is a choice that won’t happen by itself

fund), saving for the things youwant to do in the next five yearsor so to enjoy life (such as travelor home renovations), saving thatis applied to getting rid of debtand saving for longer-termgoalssuch as retirement.Howyou allocate yourmoney
between each of these categoriesdepends on your goals andpersonal preferences.There is no right andwrong
answer, nomagic formula, no-onelooking over your shoulderwhohas the authority to criticise orapplaud the choices youmake,and no-one other than youwho
can decide the best approach.There are just two important
conditions to bemet. Firstly,saving is something that needs tobe done as a deliberate,considered act and, secondly, youneed to understand theconsequences of the spending andsaving choices youmake.Your first priority for saving
should be for your emergencyfund, which is your buffer forwhen things gowrong.Taking a passive approach to
saving simply does notwork.The idea that somehowmoney
will be left overwhen all the
spending is done is pure fantasy.A determined choice to saveneeds to bemade, with theunderstanding that the less yousave, the less enjoyable your lifemay be in the future, unless youcan findmoreways to enjoy lifewithout spendingmoney.

2. how the learning at the College connects to what the students want to do when they leave school. “What are my post-school pathways and how does Linwood College help me access these pathways?” In this way learning is meaningful to the individual and strengths-based.As has previously been announced, Linwood College is to be totally re-built. This means students, staff, whanau, our Board and the wider community all having our say as to how we want Linwood College to be, both building for the present and for the future. This process will be beginning in a few weeks. These are exciting times as collectively we work through what forms of buildings and spaces best support the styles of teaching and learning that our students are most likely to succeed in, and then where and how these buildings will be configured on our grounds. Of course it is true that buildings alone do not necessarily improve education – the relationship with the teacher and the personalisation of learning are the two key factors for this – but there is also no doubt that new, purpose-built buildings and spaces can contribute hugely to these two factors. It is Linwood College’s turn.Ngã mihi nui to our community as the positive activity of the year continues. Schools can be complex places, so if any member of the community wishes to talk to me about anything, please contact the office to arrange a time for this to occur. My door is open. Richard Edmundson Tumuaki-Principal

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki te kura. Warm greetings to the Linwood College community.The content of this page shows the busy life of a NZ secondary school. Education is about seeing the whole person and how these developmentally positive experiences enrich our students’ understanding of who they are and broaden their outlook. They nurture students’ classroom focus by contextualising their learning and sowing the seeds of positive ambition. Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed curriculum’. This means the school, students and families knowing:1. students’ learning and skills as they come into the College from our partner primary schools and building on these successes
Message from the Principal
Athletics Day – March 2016
New principal appointed - Richard Edmundson
What a wonderful day we all had! In spite of the cold snap amidst a string of tropical days, we managed to dress lavishly for the weather with extra layers of feather boas, lavalavas and wigs with the addition of recently popularized ‘onesies’.

Many congratulations to Year 13 students David Avei and Litia Mariner who have been awarded First Foundation Scholarships (David by Spark and Litia by New Zealand Community Trust) and to Karen Ligsay and Ruby Kerr who are all on the ‘Steps’ programme. The First Foundation ‘Steps’ programme has mentoring as its focus.

The features on a person’s face can change or determine how they are perceived, and we are all subconsciously affected by these
cues. Every time we see a face, we make judgments on that person’s character and personality, and all this happens instantly and automatically in our brains.
Years spent talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can lead to lines and wrinkles around the lips. Lip fullness can also be an indicator of aging, as time spent biting or pursing the lips can lead to deflated, thin lips over time. Lips are also especially vulnerable to environmental effects, as the skin on the lips is less than a third of the thickness of the skin on the rest of your face.
Many women really want to improve
the appearance of their lips but are understandably very scared about looking like a duck, especially after the all too common publicised disasters affecting some unfortunate celebrities. These days we all recognise women are looking for a natural appearance rather than looking like a “Kardashian”.
Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular cosmetic medicine treatments available, and are a very quick and easy way to dramatically improve your look. They typically last between 12 – 14 months, and are hyaluronic acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, meaning the risk of adverse reactions to the procedure is very, very small. Recovery time is usually around1 day.
There are generally 3 types of requests for lip fillers at Koru Clinic, clients who want to
1. Boost Lip Volume2. Minimise smokers lines 3. Define the lip border & reduce
lipstick bleedYounger patients tend to go for larger
lip volumes, whilst more mature women want a more natural lip augmentation .
At Koru Clinic we only recommend using hyaluronic acid based fillers with high safety profiles, and after assessing each persons lips will decide on the most appropriate filler for the augmentation.
Dr Jefferies is a cosmetic Physician working at Koru Clinic. Call 372 3589 for an appointment to chat about a lip augmentation.
