Bromley residents could soon have some relief from midges buzzing over from the nearby wastewater treatment plant.

The city council is putting $36,000 into research to figure out how to best deal with the non-biting nuisances coming from the Bromley oxidation ponds.

City council city water acting unit manager Tim Joyce (right) said for years residents had complained of the midges which flew over to their homes.

He said two students had been employed to carry out a baseline study of local midge populations.

It has been about nine years since baseline monitoring of the ponds has been done.

“The study will provide us

with scientific baseline data to enable the evaluation of future control measures for the midge populations,” he said.

They started on November 25 and have been working on re-pairing emergence and terrestrial

traps to use this month.They will be working on the

study until mid-February and are being supported by a NIWA senior scientist, he said.

“Midges are a naturally occur-ring and common-place insect

that lives in shallow bodies of clean water. They can be a nuisance for people, especially during summer months when the warmer weather creates ideal breeding conditions,” Mr Joyce said.

“The council needs sound baseline data on midge populations in order to gauge the effectiveness of any future controls.”

The $36,000 would include employee wages and materials.

GEORGIA O’CONNOR HARDINGAlthough Joan Coombes lives only down the road, she has been staying at the South Brighton Holiday Park for 50 years.

She used to spend a lot of time camping with her husband’s family before they married.

She, like so many others staying at the camp over the holiday period love the idyllic spot near the beach.

The campground has been under threat of closure for two years. Last month the city council voted to open up the pro-cess so anyone could put forward plans for the site.

Resident Paul Slade said he had been living at the camp for the past 10 years.

“I love living here. There are a lot of good people’’, he said.

Tim Burrows has also been living in his camp-ervan at the holiday park for nine years. Along with many others staying at the camp or living there, he ranks it as one of the “nic-est places” he has been to.

Both Mr Slade and Mr Burrows said they are uncertain of what they will do if the holiday park closes.

Meanwhile, over in Windsurf Area along Humphreys Drive, free-dom campers have been soaking up the sunshine as well as occasionally blown around in the blustery wind.

Last summer, freedom campers caused havoc in a city council-owned New Brighton car park causing the council to rethink its bylaw.

Camping has been banned in many areas, but is allowed at the Windsurf Area for up to five days over a month.

The majority of campers travelling from countries including France, United Kingdom and Germany said the main reason they chose to freedom camp was because it was cheaper than renting and was a great way to meet “nice people’’.

Krista Lee from Alberta, Canada said the area could be made tidier if there were more recycling bins rather than just rubbish bins.

However, most campers said there were not many problems at the camp apart from people staying there longer than the maximum allowance of five days.

A New Brighton beach trial of anti-seagull rubbish bins has been so successful the city council is looking to extend it across the wider beach area. The Burwood-Pegasus Com-munity Board has requested city council staff investigate further rubbish bins and report back to them this year.

$7K BOOST FOR SURFING FESTIVALThe Ray White Duke New Brighton Festival of Surfing 2016 has received a funding boost. About $7000 has been given to the organisers New Brighton Pier and Foreshore Promotion Society to help with an outdoor movie event, art exhibition, lessons and management fees. The city coun-cil staff recommendation was for $6224 but the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board increased the grant to provide extra funds for management of the event. The event will be held March 15-20.

CAR OFF ROADTwo people were taken to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries after their car went off the road in the early hours of December 27 in Richmond. St John sent two rapid response vehicles and an ambulance to the scene around 2am on Stapletons Rd.

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, then look no further than Beverley Park.

Now in its fourth year, The Summertime Blues is a free early evening outdoor pop-up concert.

It is produced and hosted by Scottish-born urban folk blues jazz singer Isabella (Izzy) Miller Bell, also known as Ma Bell, in associa-tion with the Inner City East Community Events Group.

It is also supported by Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, Summer of Fun and the city council.

Instrumental duo Radius will play at the pop-up concert, featuring Harry Harrison and Justine S on flute,

saxophone, banjo and guitars.

Oxford-born blues and finger-style guitarist Jon Maxim Hooker and James Wilkinson both will perform original compositions.

Ma Bell will perform a set of delta and classic jazz blues, accompanied by The Celtic Cowboys.

Gather whanau and friends, bring along a picnic, chair and dancing shoes for a relaxed eve-ning with entertainment.

There will be no refreshments on site, so take along a picnic.

If the weather is wet, the concert will be held on Sunday at the same time.

The concert will be held at Beverley Park, on the corner of Stanmore Rd and Avonside Drive, on Saturday from 5-7pm.

Gen de Spa, Addington Timebank co-ordinator

Timebanking is the re-installation of values from an older time.

You know the ones, where we all used to look after each other and everybody knew their neighbours well enough to feel comfortable asking to borrow a cup of sugar – because your neighbour knew that when they needed something, they could come and ask you.

This is what we call ‘reciprocity’, when one good deed is matched by another, and is a key hallmark of Time-banking.

The idea behind Timebanking it-self is simple: You earn ‘time credits’ when you do something for someone else, which you can then spend, get-ting someone else to help you. It can be anything from compan-ionship to heavy earth-works to pointing out star constellations. Every skill, ability and talent are wanted or needed by someone else, and in Timebanking everyone’s time is equal, so one hour doing whatever you are offering earns one hour time credit.

A few weeks ago in this column, Ivan Lawson was lamenting the loss of Lions club membership over the 37 years he has been involved. Those 37 years have seen the rampant escalation of individu-alism and materialism and the turning of people into ‘consumers’. In this setting, altruistic tendencies have been reduced and people want to know ‘what’s in it for me?’

Timebanking can help organisations facing declining membership numbers by giving their volunteers the oppor-tunity to earn time credits for the time they put in. For those whose sense of altruism is offended by this, donating their hours to those in need exponen-tially increases the initial value of their volunteered time. The hour volunteering doubles when donated, and when the next person spends it, the person who earns it is also helped to feel valuable and purposeful. Tripling the value of the first hour, a virtuous cycle ensues.

Timebanking re-rec-ognises people. It is an antidote to the modern affliction of me me me. It gives value to every human ability and the re-sponsibility to give back with what you can. And in the end, connecting with community turns out to be what people are all about.

SOAP BOX

Police are seeking public help to reunite stolen rings, bracelets and necklaces with the rightful owner of the jewellery pieces. Police seized up to 20 items in early November. A Facebook appeal on the Canterbury Police page did not yield results. “Unfortunately nominations to date have not led us to the rightful owners” Detective Sergeant Don Fisher said. “One ring is quite distinctive with an engraving including a date of 25/12/81.” If these items are yours, or you know who they belong to, phone the Volume Crime team at Christchurch Central police station on 363 7400.

Cheap pool entries are making a splash across Linwood, Shirley and North New Brighton this summer.

Linwood’s $1 pool, at Lin-wood Avenue School, opens tomorrow and will continue operating until February 8.

The school pools were re-paired and re-opened with the $1 entry fee in December 2014 to encourage people to utilise the facility.

It also provided affordable, local access for families and children.

There were more than 3000 entries at the Linwood Avenue School pools last summer, prompting it to return for an-other season.

The pools will be open between 11am-6pm every day, and it will be staffed by trained lifeguards.

A barbecue will be there and available to use for free.

North New Brighton will not miss out, with Rawhiti “Beach Base” School pool having opened on December 19 for the same fee.

It will provide a local spot to swim, after QE11 was destroyed in the earthquakes.

It will remain open until Feb-ruary 21.

Families will also have an extra option to keep them cool during the holidays as Shir-ley Intermediate School’s two swimming pools will be open to the public.

Westminster Sports Inc and the school, with the help of NZ Red Cross and the city council, have set up the initiative, so families will be able to use the pools during the January school holidays for $2 entry.

The pools will run from 1-5pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Friday to January 29.

Qualified lifeguards will be

supervising at all times and, if successful, the pools’ opening hours could be extended in the future.

Children aged under eight must be accompanied by an adult.

The pools are at Shirley Inter-mediate School, 60 Shirley Rd, on the corner of North Parade, opposite The Palms Shopping Centre.

REFRESHING: Linwood Avenue School pools with a $1 entry fee will make a return tomorrow.

$1 pools to make splashing comeback

Plans to build a promenade on the sand dunes between the Waimairi and North Beach surf clubs may now be extended to New Brighton.

Community Connection Nga Ngaru Trust chairwoman Kim Money proposed the idea at the Long Term Plan submissions in May.

The trust said the ultimate aim would be to develop the walkway to cover the 19km stretch of the sand dunes to Spencer Park.

The city council agreed to pay for a feasibility study in June.

Community board deputy chairman Tim Baker said the study had not been done yet.

The trust has been working with the landscape architect who helped the New Plym-outh District Council with its popular coastal walkway.

The Burwood-Pegasus Community Board was told of the plan to extend the promenade at a recent meet-ing.

Promenade may be extended along sand dunes

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD AND ANDREW KING

An Edgeware resident is concerned police seem disinter-ested in a crime that saw seven vehicles broken into.

Champion St resident Jen Cosslett had her car broken into on December 21, and her iPod and satellite navigation unit were stolen.

She said about seven other vehicles along Champion and Gresford Sts had windows smashed as well.

She phoned police immediate-ly, thinking because there were fingerprints it would be a good lead, but she said police seemed disinterested.

“They didn’t send anyone out,

they weren’t interested in taking any fingerprints,” she said

“They said, you can bring it in for fingerprints if you want.”

Papanui police Sergeant Bren-don Strieker said there was no line of inquiry and it had been recorded and filed.

“When victims ring the crime reporting line they assessed on a case by case basis as to whether further inquiries are needed.”

He said in relation to thefts from cars across the Papanui police area during this period, police had spoken to offenders, executed search warrants, con-ducted cold calls on suspects, patrolled hot spots and done pamphlet drops.

Ms Cosslett said the offender smashed the triangle window

above the back seat of her car and reached through to unlock the door.

“They seemed to have been targeting the cars with the small triangle windows.”

Thankfully the Christmas

presents which were in her boot had not been taken, she said.

“It was really awful.”They left muddy hand prints

on the upholstery and windows, and broke a cup holder, she said.

She did not have contents insurance for the iPod and satellite navigation, however, she had her window repaired through insurance.

“Insurance will repair the window, but not the damage in the car.”

Sergeant Strieker said offenders often struck in warmer weather so people should try and remove their valuables from their vehicles, and park up their driveway if possible.

BREAK-IN: Champion St resident Jen Cosslett’s car window was smashed and her iPod and sat nav unit taken four days before Christmas.

Look around the Burwood-Peg-asus ward in the festive season and what do you see?

Fewer Christmas decorations.The Burwood-Pegasus ward,

along with Banks Peninsula, have the lowest figures spent on installing Christmas decorations in the city.

In 2012, the city council spent $910 installing decorations and banners on streetlights in the Burwood-Pegasus ward.

Hagley-Ferrymead had $6470 spent on providing the people with some Christmas cheer, however, the ward also includes the central city.

Spreydon-Heathcote had $8894 spent, however, some of the Christmas trees which were usually installed in the central city were put up in Sydenham as a result of the earthquakes.

In 2013 the city council spent $758 on the Burwood-Pegasus ward, $1316 for nearby Shirley-Papanui, $2060 for Spreydon-Heathcote and just $540 for Banks Peninsula.

Decorations are installed in

key entry points and high traffic sites, said a city council spokes-woman.

If a particular location or ward does not have many banner sites, it will have fewer decorations installed, she said.

Burwood-Pegasus does have

more of these sites, such as Horseshoe Lake and Travis Wetland, as well as the majority of the residential red zone.

Individual community boards can also choose to spend some of their funding on decorations for their ward.

The city council did not have to put up decorations in 2014, because it did not want to pay the $55,000 installation cost.

However, City Care came to the party and paid the bill.

Last years costs are yet to be confirmed.

In 2012 the city council spent $31,718.50 on buying new decorations and $23,187.31 on installing and removing them.

The following year it spent $30,000 on decorations and $44,494.21 on installation and removal, while in 2014,

$86,473.33 was spent on decora-tions while City Care paid for the installation.

In 2014 the city council sent 125 Christmas cards to various institutes, supporters and con-tractors which cost $150.

The same year, Mayor Lianne Dalziel sent 250 cards, costing $350.

But if you want to receive a card from the Mayor, you might be out of luck – Ms Dalziel only sends cards to those she receives them from, said the city council spokeswoman.

The person who will lead the city’s top youth musicians has been announced.

Helen Renaud, Burnside High School’s head of music, has been selected to conduct the UC Christ-church Youth Orchestra.

She takes over from Luke Di Somma, who had moved to Lon-don.

Ms Renaud officially takes over the UC-CYO next month, but has recently been auditioning students for the roles.

“Auditions have been really promising. There are some excep-tionally talented students who have thought-fully prepared. They have put in a lot of time, especially considering how busy school and university students are this time of year with exams.”

For 13 years Ms Renaud has been Burnside High’s orchestra conductor and has also led its sym-phonic band and junior concert band.

Ms Renaud is also studying a doctorate in musical arts pro-gramme at Canterbury University. As part of her thesis is inves-tigating rehearsal techniques, programme planning and the

development of youth and non-professional orchestras.

“As anyone working in schools will know, there’s a limited amount of practise time and it can be easily wasted. So I am looking at the most optimal ways to use it. I am also looking at what teenage minds respond to,” Ms Renaud said.

Associate Professor Glenda Keam, head of UC’s School of Music, says she is delighted at Ms Renaud’s appointment.

“Helen has a wealth of experi-ence to share with UC-CYO. Her appointment is directly connected to her doctoral studies, and we are sure that UC-CYO will continue to grow and strengthen under her baton.”

Campus Principal Gary Taylor said, “Having operated out of an earthquake-damaged building in Manchester St for some time

now, we are delighted to have found the perfect building and location.”

The new building, on the south side of Hagley Park, was recently vacated by Deloittes, and will be fully furnished and equipped by the time of the first courses starting on the second of February.

“Education is the key to getting a good job now,” says Taylor, “and we can boast outstanding outcomes from our programmes. By way of example, 88 per cent of our web development and software engineering graduates from our four nation-wide campuses get great jobs in their respective fields.”

Vision College is also well known for its counselling degree, as well as the highly successful Early Childhood teaching programmes, among others.

Taylor says, “I know one of the key features that attracts students to us is the

smaller class sizes and personal level of tuition. We are very much a tutor-lead provider with a lot of one-on-one tuition given. There are a lot of students that like that environment ahead of large lecture theatre style.”

A separately branded component of the operation is Trainme, which will also relocate to the new building.

Trainme offers free foundation level programmes to those aged 16 to 19. The two courses on offer for a February start are the well named the #Ultimate Career Taster and Security forces training.

The #Ultimate is designed for those who don’t want to go back to school and would like to get credits towards NCEA and experience a range of career options, including getting their driver’s licence. The Security course is very popular with those wanting a career in uniform such as the military, police or security industry, being a very physically challenging course.

More details can be found online at www.visioncollege.ac.nz.

New campus for tertiary students

Tertiary education provider Vision College is moving to Hazeldean Road over the summer break.

Vision College is also well known for its counselling degree, as well as the

highly successful Early Childhood teaching programmes, among others.

Take it easyTo help make the transition from holidays

to work, pace yourself for the first two days. Return calls, get up to speed with what has happened and ensure you go straight home to rest. “One of the reasons why some of us can get in a funk is because we return to work full bore — it’s the same syndrome as getting a cold or flu in the first week of your holidays,” says Dr Meredith Fuller, a Melbourne-based psychologist. Make sure colleagues and clients don’t bombard you, and allow yourself little breaks such as walking around the block or sitting outside to have your coffee in peace.

Remember to be positiveCount your blessings and thank your stars

for the refreshing break. Don’t think of work as a burden but a time to make a fresh start. Wear brighter colours and pop your favourite holiday picture onto your screen saver.

Let the creative juices flowWhen we are in a relaxed and alert state

— after a rejuvenating break — our creative juices flow well. “Resist the temptation to flop back into your usual chair in your usual posture,” adds Fuller. “Brainstorm, lie outside on the grass, or borrow someone else’s office and reflect on your work.” What could you do differently? How could you incorporate any aha moments from your time away? Do a mind-map, and impress everyone with your enthusiasm.

Blues are temporaryRemember that after a week, you will be

over the sulks, and ready to engross yourself in your work life again. Be easy on yourself for the first week back — watch a movie, go for a massage, sleep longer or plan your next holiday — whatever makes you happy.

How to beat back to work blues

Focus on a new projectPerhaps you simply need a fun activity one

night a week to keep your mind engaged, and your body healthy. Try dancing, fencing or something wild. It may be work related — perhaps you could join a new professional association, volunteer for a task force, or shadow someone from another department? “Keeping active is the key to feeling alive. You don’t have to go on holiday for that,” Fuller says.

Don’t make any drastic decisionsFuller advises against making any major

decisions right after a break. “Don’t resign and don’t dump your girlfriend,” she says. Your judgment could be clouded by the haze of holidays. If you’re unhappy coming back to work, examine if it’s because you’re no longer

on holiday or is it really your work. If you feel nothing’s improving even after a month or so, then that’s your clue to rethink your job or even your career.

Put your health firstGetting back to work and into healthy

patterns can be a challenge. “Start your first week back with healthy breakfasts, drink plenty of water and avoid too much tea and coffee,” says Natasha Meerding, spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia. She also advises that we should incorporate some physical activity the moment we are back. Being physically active can help with alertness, improve mood and prevent weight gain.

After the fun and frolic of holidays, it’s never easy to get back into a routine.It was a free fall while you were on holidays but now it’s back to the daily grind of

rush hour and deadlines. No wonder you feel it’s all gone too quickly. Focus on the following to start a fresh.

“One of the reasons why some of us can get in a funk is because we

return to work full bore”.

THE SQUEEZE BOX TRIO, Considered purveyors of Gypsy Swing, this Sydney trio combine the driving rhythms of 1930's Django Rienhardt with the intensity of Eastern European Balkan music resulting in one hell of an energetic performance.

See them as Gustav's on Thursday. 8pm start. Free entry.

Fiddle Pie's OLD TIME COUNTRY MUSIC & DANCE VARIETY SHOW sets sail for New Zealand in the fresh new year. This group of rowdy young musicians hailing from USA, Canada, and NZ bring forth an epic array of traditional American string band tunes, called square dances, classic country buckle shiners, and jokes cornier than Illinois in the summertime.

See them at Gustav's on Friday. 8pm star. Pre sale ticket $15 at undertheradar, $20 door.
