I never expected to re-live the earthquakes; I never thought Id

want to.

But that is precisely what I found myself doing for three consecutive

Thursdays last month.

Seeking to tell the real story of the Canterbury earthquakes, Gaylene

Prestons three part drama series Hope and Wire features first-hand accounts

and actual newsreel footage, overlaid with a fictional storyline.

With the citys seismic standoff still fresh in the Cantabrian conscious, it was

always going to be hit or miss, the latter seemingly the local preference, at

least if social media is the gauge of preference. So perhaps I stand alone

when I say I enjoyed it.

Theres some pretty loveable characters, including the affable Joycie (Rachel

House)and the gregarious Len (Bernard Hill), a storyline which encompasses

the key post-quake issues facing the city and a strong cross-section of the

people and politics which make up any geographic sector.

But what is most poignant about Prestons story is that its not mine.

My experience surrounding the events of September 4, 2010 and February 22,

2011 were simply mine and those closely related. The media, including

Preston, is the key way for me to hear the voices beyond my vicinity.

As Lyttelton troubadour Adam McGrath and his alternative country band The

Eastern, wrote recently: Our stories are the citys stories and the citys grief is

our grief yet we negotiate in our own way. Our experience is collective and

individual, our journey is our own and all of ours, our truth is as fluid as the

myriad of voices that speak it. Everyone deserves the right to be heard.

So while it proved far too close to home for many local residents fact is,

bringing the earthquakes to life for those outside of its geographic confines

without offence would be a challenge few would have the directorial temerity

to take on. But I for one, am glad someone did.

he old adage of not fixing things that aren't

broken is flawed. Now we don't subscribe to

the opposite viewpoint of change for change's

sake either though.

Here's the go. In business there is a state of constant

evolution. It's a dynamic and living state where if you

stand still you will simply fall behind. If you stop and

think about the whole scenario it can become totally

overwhelming. You can be washed with a flood of

near terror and it all seems too hard to keep going.

There's a very simple solution though and it starts

with a positive mind set. If you go looking for trouble,

guess what? You find trouble! Go looking for silver

linings and more often than not that's exactly what

you will find.

Okay, so enough theory. Stop for a moment and

think about those closest to you in business, those

who you are exposed most often to, the ones who

perhaps intentionally or unintentionally guide your

mood - partners, staff, managers or advisors. Identify

them and then rank them. Rank them from pessimist

(the world is ending) to optimist (the sun's always

shining). If you don't have enough up the positive

end then it's time to do something about it RIGHT

NOW.

Bring in some positive influence. With positivity

comes a natural inclination to embrace change, to

find better solutions and to overcome problems more

easily. It's a bit like some see problems as hurdles,

others as stepping stones to get where they want to

go.

Track down your positive drivers and spend more

time with them, share your issues more with them

and watch the positive change in your business

flourish even when you thought everything was

perfect in the first place.

CanterburyRebuild - The Influencers

T fter the rebuild what happens then to the

many hundreds of businesses that have

relied on post quake activity for the greater,

if not all, of their income?

With Fletcher managed repair work expected to

slow down dramatically by the end of this year, I am

increasingly working with businesses to ensure they

start now to build longevity into their business model.

Robert Bloom, in his book The inside advantage,

talks about focusing on the who that will grow your

business that fit the following criteria:

1 - Look at your clients who are the great ones?

Identify the clients that are organised, pay on time,

are easy to work with and do not cause stress.

2 -. Then identify those that give you profitable work.

3 - If these clients meet the above, then what do you

need to do to keep them coming back? These

clients understand the value you add and if they

come back to you repeatedly, you save dollars by

doing less marketing.

4 - Lastly, what can you do to get these clients to

refer you to similar people?

Identify those in your database that meet these

criteria, where they came from, what it is about them

that makes them like your business, and then go and

directly market to others that are the same or similar.

If you can encourage clients like this, your business

will quickly become self sustaining.

A he call for expressions of interest in designing

the form of the Canterbury Earthquake

Memorial signals an important milestone for

our city and all those who were affected by the

sequence of earthquakes that changed our lives

forever.

On Saturday 12 July I participated with Earthquake

Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee, Kaiwhakahaere for

Te Rnanga o Ngi Tahu T Mark Solomon and local

MP Ruth Dyson in announcing the site for what will

become a national memorial.

The chosen site will be part of Te Papa tkaro/Avon

River Precinct between Montreal Street and

Rhododendron Island.

I know that this will be a place of belonging a place

of memory for those who have experienced the pain

of loss and at the same time a place of inspiration

and hope for all.

The international call for expressions of interest will

excite the energy of many of creative

people locally and internationally. And you don't have

to be a landscape architect to submit your ideas,

because the top six or so ideas will be fully developed

as proposals for the final

decision.

This call will again turn the international

spotlight back on Christchurch in a positive way that

speaks to our recovery.

e're just over two months away from a

general election and here in New Zealand

the political environment nationally still

remains hugely influential at a local level in cities and

provincial towns and rural communities nationwide.

Back in 2012 the National led Government

identified four priorities for their current term in office,

which were included responsibly managing the

Government's finances; building a more competitive

and productive economy; delivering better public

services; and rebuilding Christchurch.

Post-quake reconstruction in Christchurch

continues to play a substantial part in an increasingly

vibrant New Zealand economy, and a surge in

building consents over the past year supports the

view of most leading economists that full rebuilds

are on track to overtake repairs as the dominant

driver of growth this year.

Another factor at play in our confident local

economy is a sharp and sustained lift in national

income. And consumers are spending.

Shopping-wise, there are almost 4,000 retail 'stores'

in Canterbury, including some leading lights locally

in Christchurch. These developments are changing

everyone's shopping experiences for the better, from

the innovative Re:Start 'container mall' in Cashel

Street, through to The Colombo in Sydenham and

Alasdair Cassels ground-breaking development at

The Tannery in Woolston.

Change really is all around us. It's simply become

the new business as usual.

ince the first residential red zone decisions,

back in mid 2011, people have come forward

with a variety of ideas for the recovery of the

east.

These ideas have been collated by groups like

Avon-Otakaro Network and Eastern Vision and then

presented back to the community as an integrated

map for comment.

EVO::SPACE, Eastern Vision's Online Spatial

Planning Application for Community Engagement is

the evolutionary space or website vehicle for

gathering this feedback.

There are about 30 proposals included, from

flatwater sports lakes, city-to-sea river park,

eco-sanctuary, wave garden, aquatic facilities, new

high schools, new villages and heritage initiatives.

The east took a big hit with the earthquakes and

many are still stuck with horrendous challenges,

however the earthquakes also provide us with

wonderful opportunities.

It is now timely to make the most of these and work

to reinvent the east as a great place to live, learn,

work and play.

Everyone, wherever you live and whatever your age,

is urged to pop online and tell us what you think:

http://evospace.co.nz

The website will be closed on 7 September and the

feedback analysed to create a recovery road map

for the eastern flatlands.

w S ithin the last couple of months we have seen a real tipping point in the central city. The fear of under-utilising land within the central city frame has been a real concern of many

of our citizens. That concern is dissipating daily with

more and more exciting announcements about

developments in the city.

I have been critical in the past of a lack of a

framework of certainty as we rebuild our central

city and I am pleased to be now in a position where

that framework has become more and more obvious

and the announcements of exciting new builds in our

central city are accelerating. In fact with the now

clearly programmed key projects, the precinct

development in the central city and the large number

of private investors making a commitment to return

with novel and exciting new constructions, we are

seeing surplus land in the central city rapidly

disappearing.

Key announcements precipitate other investors to

think about their role in the central city and we are

starting to see a flurry of activity to ensure that those

interested are not left out. The next phase of this will

be the announcement of finite plans for construction,

particularly from the private sector, and the steady

and increasing commitment of tenants determined

to return to what will be one of the most exciting

downtown areas in Australasia.

It is so good to see more cranes putting buildings

up rather than taking them down!

A competitive cladding solution

When new clients Greg and

Mandy Slaughter engaged

them to build a home in

Papanui there was an important

decision to make about building

materials. The geotechnical report

categorised the land as TC2, so

although they could go ahead with

building the owners needed to ensure

that the building materials were

lightweight. Andrew had recently built

his own home in Christchurch - and

wanting a light product that was durable

and strong, he had chosen to go with

Jenkin A-lign Concealed Fix. Having

seen the benefits of the product first

hand, Andrew knew it would be ideal.

The Slaughters were impressed with the

product because they wanted a classic

weatherboard look. The lightweight

nature of A-lign Concealed Fix meant

the engineers were happy too.

The innovative system locks the

engineered timber weatherboards

tightly in place without the use of nails,

so the surface is unbroken. That means

high moisture protection, no filling and

puttying of nail holes and reduced

painting costs. The system allows

builders to install the cladding to the

highest traditional standards in record

time. Kelly Wood explains, This was

actually the first job where we have

used the A-lign system, aside from

Andrews own home - mainly because

we havent been asked to use much

weatherboard. Many older houses in

Christchurch are now being rebuilt and

because A-lign Concealed Fix (and

Nail-Fix) is so lightweight it is a great

product to use.

Now that the owners have moved in,

they couldn't be happier with their new

two-storey home. We are thrilled with

the A-lign cladding system; it was

exactly what we wanted as we really did

want that older-style classic look. And

with the lack of nails, the

weatherboarding was easy to install

and put together.

The Slaughters say they did make

one little mistake though. The A-lign

system is primed and undercoated with

Dulux paint in the factory, including final

colour coat options. This leaves just the

final top coat of paint to apply, allowing

for an excellent paint finish and savings

on time and cost. But a little hold-up

occurred when the owners decided

(once the house was complete), that

they wanted to change the colour

scheme, ever so slightly! An extra coat

of paint and the job was done. With its

great weatherboard and paint system,

its easy to agree, the overall finish of

this outstanding home is perfect.

For more information about the

company and products contact

Jenkin Timber 0800 25 44 61.

When it comes to building quality homes, Andrew

Breward and Kelly Wood of Premium Homes are

the men to talk to, with over 40 years experience

in design and project management, they have a

wealth of knowledge in the building industry.

Having seen the benefits

of the product first hand,

Andrew knew it would be

ideal, particularly in this

earthquake prone city.

Psychology researchers Dr Roeline Kuijer and PhD student

and Fulbright scholar Emma Marshall say their

investigations show help from a spouse buffered the

negative impact of neuroticism following the earthquakes.

Support from the spouse was seen as a protective factor that

helped people who were more vulnerable to experiencing post-

traumatic stress, or those with high levels of neuroticism, cope

with the aftermath of the earthquakes, Dr Kuijer says.

Post-traumatic stress symptoms are the most frequently

studied outcome variable in disaster research and it is important

to find out who is most at risk for high levels of stress after a

major event.

We followed a sample of Christchurch residents from before

the earthquakes to 12 months after February 2011 earthquake

and found that those participants reporting higher levels of

neuroticism and worse pre-earthquake mental health were more

at risk for experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms after the

earthquakes.

The findings were recently published in the journal

Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy.

At the recent International Association for Relationship Research

Conference in Melbourne, Dr Kuijer presented new findings from

the study.

In line with other research overseas, we found that only a

small proportion of our sample reported high levels of post-

traumatic stress shortly after the earthquakes. About 14 percent

of people reported high post-traumatic stress levels one month

after the September 2010 earthquake and 22 percent reported

Support crucial to coping

through quakes Support from partners, husbands, wives and spouses softened the impacts of depression

following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, University of Canterbury research has found.

high post-traumatic stress levels three months after the

February 2011 earthquake.

This percentage reduced to just eight percent a year after

the February 2011 quake. Although most participants in our

sample reported some post-traumatic stress, the percentage of

people reporting high levels of stress was low. In the current

paper, we examined whether supportive interactions with the

spouse could buffer the negative impact of neuroticism on post-

earthquake adjustment. We argued that support from the

spouse could be especially beneficial for people high in

neuroticism as they tend to appraise stressors as more

negative and experience more difficulty in coping. The reverse

was expected to be true for unsupportive or negative

interactions.

Dr Kuijer has also carried out research which showed

Christchurch womens eating habits became unhealthier after

the earthquakes to cope with stress. Christchurch women

who suffered post-traumatic stress after the quakes reported

unhealthier eating habits.
