BRIDGET RUTHERFORD AND ANDREW KING

An Edgeware resident is concerned po-lice seem disinterested in a crime that saw seven vehicles broken into.

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

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

She phoned police immediately, 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 Acting Senior Sergeant Brendon 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, conducted 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.”

Acting Senior 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.

Breens Intermediate pupils have tackled high-ropes courses, abseiled down the Port Hills and tubed down rivers in a quest to pick up their William Pike Challenge Award.

It was the only intermediate school in the region that took up the challenge.

William Pike survived a volcanic eruption in 2003 at Mt Ruapehu, but as a consequence lost part of his leg from just below the knee.

He used that experience to empower young people to live life with “All Passion, No Limits”.

The 20 year 8 pupils complet-ed adventure activities, plus 20 hours of voluntary service and taking up new sport or hobby to gain the award.

The principal’s personal assistant Sharron Stoop said

pupils tackled the high-ropes course at Orton Bradley Park, abseiled down the Port Hills, cycled the Little River Rail Trail, went on an overnight tramp into Woolshed Creek Hut, ran in the City2Surf, and completed a six-hour mountain bike race at McLeans Island and a little bit of river tubing.

“Finally, we finished this year off with a trip through Cave Stream,” she said.

“Our children are having a fantastic time learning new skills, developing a passion for the outdoors, learning how to keep safe while still having fun and developing new friend-ships,” she said.

EARLY START: Pupils on the Little River Rail Trail.

Police are pleading with shop-pers to keep valuables out of sight in their vehicles.

Acting Senior Sergeant Brendon Strieker said there had been a number of vehicles broken into over the past four weeks.

Cars being broken into during the day was a common occur-rence, he said.

“Even small stuff like loose change could be enough for

someone to break in,” he said.Acting Senior Sergeant

Strieker said while police are happy to be out and disrupting the criminals from breaking into vehicles they can only do so much.

“People need to just slow down and think, which is hard at this time of year, about what they are leaving in their ve-hicles,” he said.

He said the police had adapted a victim and prevention first focus.

“The shift means that we now look at preventative means to stop re-victimisation,” he said.

“We are using technology, involving other agencies and working together to find practi-cal solutions to the issues. The consequence is less crime, crashes and ultimately fewer victims.”

One Eastgate shopper was surprised to see a police officer peering through her windows but was shocked when she was told the number of break-ins

that happen in the area each week.

“It is so scary to think that goes on around here during the day,” she said.

Police have been dropping pamphlets around those high-risk areas to raise the aware-ness that leaving valuables in vehicles is unwise.

Acting Senior Sergeant Strieker dropped around 25 pamphlets on cars around Northlands on Wednesday that had something of worth inside.

Don’t be easy targetsPolice urge shoppers to put valuables out of sight

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

SAFETY PLANS APPROVEDMeasures to improve road safety between two schools has been ap-proved. Kensington Ave, Maire-hau, will have four new signs to indicate it is a school zone and to slow down to 40km/h. The signs were approved by the Shirley-Papanui Community Board and will cost around $8500 dollars to install. The board has also approved $72 to the Shirley Com-munity Trust for three Shirley-Pa-panui Community Board branded banners to be attached to the three gazebos. The money will come from the board’s discretionary response fund.

CALL FOR TIMED PARKINGResidents in Bradshaw Tce, Riccarton, have petitioned for timed parking on their street to prevent road surfaces deterio-rating. The residents want the traffic flows to be reduced also to spare the road surfaces. The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board considered the petition and said city council staff would investigate time limited parking and report back.

SEEKING THE OWNER: 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.

Send your letters to the editor to: [email protected]

Carolyn Simpson: I notice in the Nor’West News an ar-ticle about councillors missing

council meetings.People know before they

stand for election there will be time commitments for meetings, research and public engagements.

If they are not prepared to attend such occasions they should not be representing the people.

They are well paid for their services so 22 out of 48 meet-ings is not good enough.

Dave Adamson, Friends of Halswell Quarry Park.

This park is a real gem, and I suspect quite a few people are not really aware of its existence.

If you haven’t already been there, indulge yourself – and if you have already been there, be sure to go again!

With picnic tables and many large grassy areas and walking tracks, it’s the ideal place for a family outing, or just a quiet walk in beautiful surroundings. It’s easy to find; follow the clear signage off Halswell Rd, and access is also available from the western end of Cashmere Rd.

In the early 1990s, the city council set up a body called Turning Point 2000 and charged it with the task of producing a number of activities which

would celebrate the new millen-nium.

One of those was the creation of a new major park for the city. A garden committee was formed, and after much investigation it settled on the 60ha site of the historic Halswell Quarry, which had ceased operation in 1990.

Most of the rock for the city’s stone buildings, plus rock for road formation, had come from the quarry between 1860 and 1990.

The committee decided to develop the park as a series of gardens depicting the flora of Christchurch’s seven sister cities. In about 2002, once the Turning Point 2000 body had wound down, it handed the park over to the city. Each site is now well developed, and volunteers on the sister cities’ committees freely give their time to help

with maintenance, plantings and so on.

The Friends of Halswell Quarry Park group was estab-lished in 2002 to, amongst other objectives “work with council staff to assist with maintenance, care and development of the park”. I have been president of the group since 2010.

Over the years we have been involved in many working bees, as have volunteers from neigh-bourhood groups, local schools and many more. Some working bees are amazing; more than 30 adults and school children turn up.

We no sooner seem to start planting than it’s all done; very satisfying, and lots of fun. Once the old crusher plant building has been repaired next year, the friends group will be involved in cataloguing the items in it, many of which are quite historic.

Halswell Quarry Park: Is it a hidden gem?

Burnside High School’s head of music Helen Renaud will take up the baton as conductor of the city’s youth orchestra.

Ms Renaud has been selected to lead the UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra, taking over from for-mer conductor Luke Di Somma who moved to London in Septem-ber.

For 13 years Ms Renaud has been school’s orchestra conduc-tor and has also led its symphonic band and junior concert band.

Ms Renaud (right) is also study-ing a doctorate in musical arts programme at Canterbury University. As part of her thesis is investigating re-hearsal techniques, pro-gramme planning and the development of youth and non-professional orches-tras.

“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.

Ms Renaud officially takes over the UC-CYO next month, but has

recently been auditioning stu-dents.

“Auditions have been really promising. There are some ex-ceptionally talented students who

have thoughtfully pre-pared. They have put in a lot of time, especially con-sidering how busy school and university students are this time of year with ex-ams.”

Associate Professor Glenda Keam, Head of UC’s School of Music, says she is de-lighted at 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.”

When Dr Eruera Prendergast-Tarena embarked on his thesis on corporate indigenous organ-isations, he had no background knowledge in management.

His Canterbury University supervisor, Associate Professor Venkataraman Nilakant (below) simply handed him a series of “difficult” management books and told him to get to work.

“He as-tounded me by mastering the material in a few weeks. He was probably more knowl-edgeable about organisation theory than most of our com-merce students,” he said.

Now, Dr Prendergast-Tarena is the first person to receive a doctorate degree associated with the Ngai Tahu Research Centre.

His research investigated the corporate design of contempo-rary indigenous organisations, including conducting case stud-ies into Kamehameha Schools of Hawaii, the Sealaska Cor-poration of Alaska, both in the United States, and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

“Watching him complete his thesis and achieve the highest qualification at Canterbury Uni-versity has been one of the most satisfying moments in my life,”

said Mr Nilakant.Two weeks before Dr Pren-

dergast-Tarena graduated he received a surprise.

He was given the graduation bonnet his great-grandfather, Eruera Stirling, wore.

“Two weeks before I gradu-ated I met [award-winning writer and anthropologist] Dame Anne Salmond who had a very close relationship with my great-grandparents Eruera and Amiria Stirling,” he said.

His grandparents – respected Maori elders – collaborated with Dame Anne on three award-winning books.

“When she heard I was graduating she gave me my great-grandfather’s bonnet,” he said.

“I was very proud to wear his bonnet on my graduation day and recognise the legacy he left for his

descendants as well as my grandfather, Waha Stirling, who also received an honorary doctorate from Lincoln University.

“Three of my four grandpar-ents are doctors so I have been fortunate to have that legacy in my whānau,” he said.

From no knowledge in commerce to doctoral degree

HONOUR: Canterbury University has awarded its first doctoral degree assocated with the Ngai Tahu Research Centre to Dr Eruera Prendergast-

Tarena. He wears his great-grandfather’s

graduation bonnet.

A geochemist and a white-water kayaker are among those selected to help spearhead the clean-up of urban rivers.

Christchurch-West Melton Zone Committee, led by Environment Canterbury, has appointed three new members.

Kevin Brown is a geochemist with experience in the geothermal industry while Suzanna Furkert is a keen whitewater kayaker, who wants to help clean up the Heathcote River.

Lance Kenyon recently completed a diploma in environment and sustainability and has witnessed how the waterways in the St Martins area has been affected by the earthquakes and flooding.

The Christchurch-West Melton Zone Committee looks to improve the urban waterways, especially the Heathcote/Ōpawaho catchments and the Addington Brook/Riccarton Stream.

The committee is one of 10 in the Canterbury region.

Community memberships are refreshed each year to ensure a wide range of views are reflected.

ECan programme manager Canterbury Water Management Strategy Christina Robb, said the selection process focused on finding people who can see others’ points of views and work collaboratively to find solutions for water issues.

“We were pleased with the quality of the applicants and we’re sure the committee has a good balance of community representatives who are passionate about making a positive difference to local water management.

“Each zone committee is focused on local actions to deliver the goals of the CWMS by encouraging good management practices from all land users and improving natural values while allowing for a reliable and safe water supply,” she said.

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

The Fendalton-Waimairi ward really decks the halls when it comes to Christmas.

Since 2012, the city council has spent more on installing Christmas decorations in the ward than in nearby Shirley-Papanui and Riccarton-Wigram.

In 2012, the city council spent $3091 on installing Christmas decorations and banners in the ward, while it spent $1820 on Shirley-Papanui and $1365 on Riccarton-Wigram.

Hagley-Ferrymead and Spreydon-Heathcote had the highest expenditure with $6470 and $8894.

But the Hagley-Ferrymead ward covers the central city, and a number of central city Christmas trees were installed in Sydenham that year as a result of the earthquakes.

In 2013, $2195 was spent on Fendalton-Waimairi, $1316 on Shirley-Papanui and $1015 on Riccarton-Wigram.

Decorations are installed in key entry points and high traffic sites, said a city council spokeswoman.

If a particular location or ward does not have many ban-ner sites, it will have fewer

decorations installed, she said.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 covered the cost.

Costings for last year 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.

Delightful decorations

ANGEL: Carena Parish took second place for their creation of the Halswell angel.

Gingerbread houses, angels and nativity scenes filled the streets of Halswell as part of the commu-nity holding its annual mailbox Christmas decorating competi-tion.

The competition has turned into an annual event and is run by the Halswell Community Project.

Project co-ordinator Kate Cleverly said the competition was started last year as a way to make Halswell look more “Christ-masy’’.

She said there were 10 main entries from around the commu-nity.

Prizes for the winners were do-nated by local businesses within Halswell.

First place received a prize of a $100 voucher from the Old Vicar-age Cafe, Restaurant and Bar.

Second, third and fourth place received vouchers from the White House Black cafe, the Kawa cafe and the Craythornes Bar and Restaurant.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE: Jessica Fagg-Banfield took out first place in Halswell’s annual mailbox decorating competition for their gingerbread house.

CREATION: Claire Taylor was third for the nativity mailbox.

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”.

GUSTAV'S in The Woolston Tannery hosts two enticing events this week - The Squeeze Box Trio from Australia and an Old Time Country Music & Dance Variety Show.

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.
