DISCUSSION: An idea to allow contractors to apply for a parking permit to let them park on the road for longer periods of time will be discussed on Thursday in a city council
committee meeting.
Contractor parking permit
may not be approved
ANDREW KING
A proposed contractor parking
permit system that would allow
workers to park longer outside
where they are working, may
not get city council approval.
Contractor parking permits
were the idea of Merivale resident
Dr Stuart Gowland after he
lobbied the Fendalton-Waimairi
Community Board saying some
contractors have vehicles too
big to fit on some properties and
needed to park on the road.
He said there is a similar
system operated by the Devon
County Council in the United
Kingdom.
The board asked city council
staff to investigate the idea of
permits.
The new permit system would
cost $15,000 to set up and
$10,000 per year to run.
But staff have recommended
to keep the current, permission
based system, due to the new

A city council committee
will discuss the proposal on

idea and is trying to get a late

Dr Gowland can put his case
forward.
Cr Gough said most things
in this world are susceptible to
fraud and that was not a valid
excuse to not proceed.
“Identifying that fraud could
be an issue is great, now we can
find a solution to it.”
Cr Gough said it would be a

Belfast Community Network
to stay in Sheldon Park home
ANDREW KING
After many shifts since the
February 2011 earthquake,
Belfast Community Network
now has a permanent home.
The organisation has just
signed a 33 year lease with the
city council for its Sheldon
Park home.
The earthquake caused its
former home at the old Presbyterian
church on Main North
Rd to be red stickered and then
demolished.
The organisation built the
Sheldon Park facility in 2013
for $468,000.
It moved into the Belfast
Rugby Club for two months in
2013 until the new facility was
constructed.
Previous to that they had
been at Belfast School after
being relocated after the earthquake
from its original site.
The lease will not allow it
to expand its current facilities
but it is hopeful it will be able
to negotiate for a small storage
unit to house Belfast emergency
response plan equipment.
EXCITED: Children involved in the Belfast Community Network holiday programme are thrilled they will
have a facility to use to for many years to come.
Belfast Community Network
chief executive Lynda Goodrick
said they are right where they
need to be to provide a fantastic
service to the community.
“The BCN is thrilled to
finally have a permanent lease
to remain on Sheldon Park,”
she said.
She said it has been a long
journey, around four years, but
the support of city council staff
and elected members has meant
that they are now able get back
to doing the work in our community
that is required.
“Now that we have secured
this we can focus on our strategic
plan knowing that we are
secure and have somewhere to
operate from,” she said.
ALI JONES BOWS OUT
City councillor Ali Jones will not
be standing for re-election for the
city council in the October local
body race. She will run for the
Papanui-Innes Community Board
and said she is strongly invested in
the area and wants to be a part of
the new board. The mother-of-two
said she needs time to look after
herself and her family.
CRASH IN MAIREHAU
A man in his 70s was taken to
Christchurch Hospital with moderate
injuries after a crash in Mairehau.
St John sent an ambulance to
the scene at about 4pm, which was
a crash between a car and scooter.
SUSPICIOUS FIRE
A tree fire in Jellie Park last
Tuesday is being treated as
suspicious. A fire crew from the
Harewood station arrived at the
scene about 2.20am to find the tree
well involved. The fire was on the
Greers Rd side of Jellie Park and is
being investigated by police.
BOY IN HOSPITAL
A boy was taken to Christchurch
Hospital with serious injuries on
Sunday after being hit by a car in
Burnside. St John sent two rapid
response units and an ambulance
to the scene on Wairakei Rd, near
Spalding St, around 4pm. The boy,
who is under 10, was assessed at
the scene and taken to hospital for
further treatment.

Housing subsidy still needed
A Government heating and
insulation subsidy programme
comes to an end in June.
Community Energy Action
Charitable Trust chief executive
Caroline Shone writes this week’s
column about the importance
of the programme and why it
should continue in some form.
Shelter is one
of the most basic
of human needs
and the Universal
Declaration
of Human Rights
says that everyone
has the right
to housing.
It can be debated that housing
that makes people sick, isn’t housing
at all.
However houses that are damp,
houses that are cold, with the
people living in them unable to
heat them to an adequate temperature
to keep them healthy, are
a reality for many households in
Christchurch.
The old, the young and the sick
suffer most in those houses.
We all know the result.
Every winter sees many residents
ending up in hospital with
preventable cold-related health issues.
Even healthy people get sick
more often in those cold, damp
houses.
SOAP
BOX
From experience we know that
installing insulation and heating
in people’s homes especially those
with health conditions will reduce
hospitalisations, delivering cost
savings to the health system.
Installing insulation and heating
is a one-off cost but the benefits
last a long time, saving money on
health and saving lives every year.
The Government through the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Authority (EECA) have spent
$450 million nationwide on insulation
and heating subsidies over
the last couple of years.
And we know it has made a
difference.
The current subsidy programme
comes to an end in June this year.
It would be fantastic if subsidies
would be available in the future
for those who need insulation.
It’s a great way for Christchurch
people to help those in their community
who need a bit of help to
create a warm, dry, healthy home.

Car parks planned for
Rutland St could be axed
ANDREW KING
Ten new car parks planned for
Rutland St, St Albans, are unlikely
to get the go-ahead.
City council staff have recommended
that the car parks on the
east side of Rutland St, between
Weston Rd and Chapter St, not
proceed.
They have recommended
instead to retain the plan put
forward in the February 16 meeting,
which means parking will
be available on the west side of
Rutland St only.
The city council’s infrastructure,
transport and environment committee
will make a decision on
Thursday.
City council staff were asked
to investigate if extra parking
could be added by the committee
in the February meeting after
it approved the Papanui Parallel
Cycleway.
Staff have provided three options
for the committee to consider
– parking on the west side
of Rutland St only, parking on
both side of the street meaning
trees will have to be removed or
angle parking on Weston Rd and
parking only on the west side of
Rutland St.
One stop shop for
all your dental needs
Warm, friendly & affordable dental care for the whole family...
POSSIBLE PARKING LOSS: Recommendations from city council staff is
that parking on the east side of Rutland St (left), between Weston Rd and
Chapter St, not be installed after the Papanui Parallel Cycleway is built.
The recommendation is extra
parking not be installed as Chapter
St and Weston Rd are lightly
parked, have sufficient capacity
and no time restrictions providing
parking close for residents and the
church.
The committee will also
decide if they will monitor the
intersections of Springfield Rd,
St Albans St and Springfield,
Edgeware Rds for 12 months,
after the cycleway’s completion,
to see if traffic signals are needed.
If the monitoring suggests signals
are needed then it will plan
their installation in the next long
term plan.
It is estimated that installation
of traffic signals at each
intersection will cost $200,000 to
$250,000 and will remove about
six to eight parks each.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Will Rutland
St need more parking or will
there be enough without
spending more money? Share

Amputee’s story told
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When Trixie Wuts was born
her parents had a very difficult
decision to make whether or not
to amputate both of her legs to the
knee.
On the advice of medical professionals,
Trixie’s parents Anton
and Margot Wuts decided amputation
was the best solution.
Their experience has been
documented in a children’s book
that they wrote, called Little Jellybean.
It is being distributed by the
Amputee Society of Canterbury
and Westland to help families facing
a similar choice.
The society helped get a $5000
grant for the publishing and
distribution of the book from the
Artificial Limb Service.
Trixie was diagnosed with distal
arthrogryposis before she was
born, meaning she had crooked or
hooked joints in her feet.
She had many procedures done
when she was born, which attempted
to correct the deformities
in both of her feet, but they were
largely unsuccessful.
The surgery however, was and
Trixie now “leads a full and active
life” with her new feet.
Amputee Society of Canterbury
and Westland president Mark
Bruce said the more families that

“It’s about raising awareness
for parents in a situation where
their child is very unwell. The
story is mainly about the parents
having to make an incredibly
tough decision to help their children,”
he said.
Mr Bruce said the book will
become an invaluable source for
those looking for support.
“If you have a young one with
an amputation or have a young
one about to undergo an amputation
then this is a great resource.
“The future of the federation is
in its youth . . . If we can affect
just one family with the help of
this book, then it’s been a worthwhile
venture,” he said.
The society are making copies
of the book available from
their national and regional coordinators,

Mona Vale in line for award
Mona Vale Lodge is one of
35 finalists in the this year’s
Canterbury Heritage Awards.
The building sustained
damage in the February 2011
earthquake predominantly from
the collapse of the two masonry
chimneys.
Repairs to the building were
finished two weeks ago at a cost
of $589,000.
A panel of five judges
whittled the list down from 80
entries into six categories –
domestic and
saved, public
realm and
saved, outstanding
contribution
to heritage, seismic,
heritage
tourism and
future heritage.
Entries were received from a
wide variety of projects, from
walking tours and domestic
dwellings to furniture restorations
and public monuments.
Category winners and the
supreme overall winner will be
announced during a ceremony
held at the Christchurch Arts
Centre on June 9.
Christchurch Heritage Awards
Charitable Trust chairwoman Dr
Anna Crighton (above) said the
judges were incredibly impressed
with the standard of entries.
FINALIST: The recently repaired Mona Vale Lodge is a finalist in the
Canterbury Heritage Awards.
“Now that almost half of
our built heritage has been
demolished, appreciation
of what remains is evident.
The jurors agreed, without
exception, that every entry was
worthy in contributing to the
character and streetscapes of
our city and province,” she said.
Dr Crighton was joined on
the judging panel by four other
notable heritage experts –
Heritage Management Services
director Jenny May, Canterbury
University and Canterbury
Branch of the New Zealand
Institute of Architects chairman
Tim Nees, Heritage New
Zealand southern office general
manager Sheila Watson and
Ruamoko Solutions structural
engineer Grant Wilkinson.

Vacant section wanted for expansion
Community garden, parking planned for
empty section next to community centre
ANDREW KING
A city councillor wants a vacant
section adjacent to the St Albans
Community Centre to be bought
for future expansion.
Pauline Cotter (right)
has asked city council
staff to investigate the
purchase of the 463
sq m section at 130
Caledonian Rd valued
at $250,000.
She said the site
could be used as a community
garden and later extra car parking.
It has been four-and-a-half
years since the St Albans Resource
Centre was demolished
and a transitional facility run by
the St Albans Residents’ Association
put in its place.
Currently there is $3.2 million
in funding for the new centre.
While the money is not
currently in the budget, Cr
Cotter is under no illusion that
the city council will just say yes.
“We are looking to have a
good discussion around this
idea,” she said.
The Shirley-Papanui Community
Board voted on April 20 in
favour of asking staff to look at
buying the land to provide space
for extra car parking should it
be required for the new
centre.
Cr Cotter said buying
the land was a fantastic
opportunity, one she does
not want the city council
to look back in 20 years
and kick themselves for
not taking.
“You don’t normally get
to purchase an empty site right
beside a community facility,”
she said.
The land in the meantime will
add to the project by providing
space for a garden.
“When we redevelop the new
centre we will lose the front
garden so having another out
back would be great,” Cr Cotter
said.

Phillip Mitchell
‘Filthy’ work with pipes and plumbing
AT WORK: Phillip Mitchell has been a plumbing tutor at the Ara Institute
of Canterbury for many years. At 73, he is still going strong working three
days a week.
Phillip Mitchell has had his hand in the city’s pipes
for half a century. He talks with Matthew Salmons
about his life as a plumber, being a tutor and
winning the Graeme Victor Smith Outstanding
Contribution to the Industry Award
Well Phillip, you’re clearly
the plumbing master around
here, but why did you decide
to get into the trade in the
first place?
My father went with me to a
vocational guidance counsellor
in the square. The guy that was
interviewing me said ‘I know
a bloke by the name of Athol
Jamieson.’ He knew him on a
fairly friendly basis so I went
and saw him. He had a fairly
large company and said ‘there’s
a job there if you want it.’ I’d
seen plumbers, we’d not long
had the sewerage put on in the
house and a flush toilet put in,
which you guys would take for
granted now. I was fascinated.
So I thought ‘it’s not a bad idea’,
and that’s what it was.
So when did you start your
apprenticeship?
In the days when I did my apprenticeship,
you signed up for
what they called a 12,000 hour
apprenticeship which equates to
six years. In that era, when you
got to your fifth year you could
sit your license and if you passed
your exam you didn’t have to do
your sixth year, so there was a
lot of incentive there. In those
days it was about five pounds a
week which probably equates to,
I don’t know, $200 these days. A
tradesman now could get about
$30 an hour, about $1200 a week,
and an apprentice, well they
probably get more than $200, so
a lot of incentive there to pass. I
spent most of my apprenticeship
under a guy named Bill Walsh,
an Irish plumber, and also with
his brother John. They were
ship’s plumbers, they were fastidious.
If something happened it
was either right or it was wrong.
And after you finished your
apprenticeship did you stay
with the same company?
No, after I finished I left
plumbing for a wee while and I
did quantity surveying. It was a
very good experience and I was
fortunate that I had the trades
experience to do it. It was very
enjoyable.
Did you work on any big
projects?
I did, it was Wilkins and
Davies I was working for at the
time. The buildings at Canterbury
University were being built
then, and we worked on them.
That was straight out of my
apprenticeship, so when I left
that I went to learn about drain
laying. I’ve always enjoyed drain
laying. When you’re doing it, you
feel like you’ve achieved more
than you would working in a
bathroom. I did that for the best
part of a year, then I put the sewerage
into John Walsh’s house.
That was the practical part of
my exam. I started working for a
drain laying firm then, but they
went out of business, so at about
23 I started working for myself.
You knew nothing then, but that
was beside the point because
you thought you did and you had
to get experience the hard way.
So I was working for myself for
a while and I was doing some
tutoring at night. When you’re
tutoring and still in the trades,
to the students, you’re still a
plumber.
Working full time and tutoring
at nights, it must’ve taken a
toll on your social life?

still enjoyable after more than 50 years
27 when I finished that and when
you’re young you could burn the
candle at both ends a bit.
Where did you do your tutoring?
In town, it was called Christchurch
Technical College then
- it has had about three name
changes since then. It was only
one night a week at that stage.
That was about 1969, then me
and another guy started commercial
drain laying. We had a lot of
fun, we did all of the drainage
at QE II which was a monstrous
job, but we just got stuck in and
got on with it. We were young
and wishful, ‘of course we can
bloody well do it.’
Far out, was it only you two
doing the job?
No, we had 10 staff on. We updated
the Kaiapoi sewerage plant
as well. It was physical, hard
work but enjoyable. You were
outside all the time. Sometimes
you wore yourself out, but that’s
just life. We formed a partnership
called Mitchell and Rodgers. You
used to be filthy everyday, but
that’s part of your life and you
hope that you can look back on
your life and have enjoyed it.
How did it feel to receive that
award?
I thought why me? I’d started
in 2005 with just me, with another
tutor joining in 2006 and
another in 2007. We now have
eight, virtually a new tutor every
year. We do work for the Schools
Organisation and Ara managed
apprenticeships in plumbing and
gas fitting. We’ve grown and
grown, I have to ask myself, is
this real?
It’s been an absolutely fantastic
journey building this thing, I
have had some really great support,
and I didn’t do it alone by
any stretch of the imagination.
I’m putting back what I got out
of the industry. The biggest thing
for me is the recognition of offsite
job training.
Having been in the industry
so long, what sort of changes
have you seen?
Basically, when I started there
was a horrendous amount of
lead; it was the material of the
time for waste pipes, sewer pipes
and roof flashings. I only know
of two plumbers who got lead
poisoning. After that, it graduated
to Copper. Copper’s priced
itself out of the market now,
but it’s a marvellous material to
work with. We used to have to
fabricate everything, but now it’s
plastic and made fit for purpose.
The skill sets have changed due
to the change of materials.
And your family has been
supportive for all this time,
tutoring and working?
I could never have done it
without the support of my wife,
Beth, she’s always worked in the
background.
Where did you meet your
wife?
Through one of my cousins,
she was a friend of hers, they
bought us together, many years
ago now but that’s alright. We
went to the pictures, the usual
courting thing, it was different
then than it is today, 6 o’clock
closing, it was the 6 o’clock
swill. We went to dances and the
pictures, things like that, nothing
out of the ordinary.
Where did you grow up?
In Marshland Rd, bottom end,
so I’m not very far from home.
There wasn’t many houses. We
were in one of the houses at the
bottom end. It was still basically
farmlands, was still in the country
then. Shirley Lodge it was
called then, I don’t know what
it’s called now, we were midway
between that and Shirley Rd, but
we still lived in the country.
And where did you go to
school?
Shirley Primary of course,
my great-grandparents on one
side took up land on the side of
Marshland Rd, so it was pretty
family orientated from there.
Every kid’s good at school, I was
just an average kid at school.
I didn’t excel at anything. My
mother would’ve thought I was
outstanding.
Has your passion for plumbing
been passed on to your
kids?
No, I’ve got two daughters and
one grandson who is 32. I used to
take him on work experience, he
enjoyed it, and he could’ve done
it blind, but he said there was
too much to learn. But for the
students, I’ve chosen my path,
I have to sell them the industry.
I have to tell them the pluses
and the fun they’ll have on the

journey. You go to work for fun,
if you don’t enjoy your work, get
another job! I’ve got to be passionate
about the industry.
Not looking at retirement?
Well, I’m only working three
days a week, I treat it as a hobby
now, not a job. I’m going to be 74
in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have
to sooner or later, but I’m still
enjoying it. You’ve got to look

Young player heads to UK
A St Andrew’s College footballer is set to
hit the international stage when he travels
to Northern Ireland for a tournament.
Ryan Nicholson, 16, has been selected
for one of two Under 17 New Zealand
teams travelling to Northern Ireland for
the Super Cup, formerly Milk Cup, in
July.
Nicholson said he was excited for the
chance to impress scouts and continue his
footballing career.
“Yeah I am pretty excited. It’s a huge
opportunity for me - I haven’t even met
the team or the coach yet,” he said.
Nicholson is the only Canterbury
representative in the side, and will travel
to Auckland for a two day training camp
before they leave for Europe in July.
He plays his football for the Coastal
Spirit men’s reserve team, and is also in
the St Andrew’s College first 11. He applies
his trade in the centre of midfield.
Nicholson has also played for Federation
and National Talent Centre squads.

PUSHING FORWARD: St

Ryan Nicholson has been
selected to represent New
Zealand in July.
But this will be his first time playing as a
New Zealand representative.
In preparation for the Super Cup, Nicholson’s
side will stop off in Barcelona and
London, and will train at the grounds of
professional Spanish club Espanyol and
English giants Chelsea.
Nicholson received the call up to the
squad after a strong performance in
the Auckland youth under 17 tournament
in March.
He said the opportunity to now play in
Europe is a “dream come true” for him.
From here he is aiming for the top.
“My goal would be to play internationally
and get a football scholarship,” he
said.
Nicholson said his great uncle played
football for Ireland, and so he “jumped”
at the opportunity to play there himself.
“I’m looking forward to the challenges
ahead and will gain experience from the
international games. The coaching will
further develop my game,” he said.

ORGANIC HORTICULTURE COURSES
Instruction in organic horticulture is
now well established at the Lincolnbased
Organic Training College. The
next year-long course, which begins
on 1st August, will be the ninth
intake for the college. Students need
no prior qualifications or experience
to commence Year One and can
study full or part-time. Those who
have some horticultural background
can go straight into Year Two.
An added appeal of the course is that
all fees are under $500, and full time
students are eligible to apply for a
loan or allowance through Studylink.
Course Director Bill Martin says it
works well to start the course year in
the spring. “The organic horticulture
course is all about growing so we
want to start the course in spring
when it is the right time to begin
planting.”
Year One students get plenty of
hands on training in subjects such as
sowing and planting organic crops,
soil management and composting.
The Year Two students have the
option of using land and facilities
on the Biological Husbandry Unit
(BHU) Farm to grow and sell their
own certified produce – a semicommercial
venture that gives
students a real taste of organic
horticulture as a business. The
students grow vegetables under the
guidance of a mentor and sell them
at a weekly stall at Lincoln University
“The Year Two programme gives the
students experience in a commercial
environment without any risk. It’s
the icing on the cake for a lot of the
students here,” says Bill Martin.
As well as the year-long organic
horticulture courses a distance
(correspondence) programme in
organics is also available.
The Organic Training College is
located at the Biological Husbandry
Unit at Lincoln University. There
are 10 hectares of certified organic
land as well as greenhouses, tunnel
houses and research areas.

Haircuts for Haircuts
Celebrating 30 years of great service
Haircuts for Haircuts are
celebrating – this year, they
turn 30. That’s 30 years of
reasonably-priced great
haircutting and 30 years of awesome,
friendly customer service.
It is rare for a small business to be so
successful for so long - Michelle has been
the driving force behind the two cutting
bars for the three decades. She believes
they have done so well because they go
above and beyond for their customers.
“We are already affordable, but we
offer discounts for pensioners, university
students and children on top of that,”
she explains. “We are here for the whole
family and we offer a welcoming, friendly
atmosphere to make the experience
enjoyable.”
It’s easy and convenient, too. Because
they are located in the Bush Inn Centre
and South City Mall, getting a haircut can
be combined with shopping and running
errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days
a week and there’s no need to be tied to an
appointment. Just head on in, take your
place and sit and relax while you wait.
There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at
any time, so you’re never waiting for long.
But it’s much more than that – all their staff
are fully-qualified, professional stylists and
they focus on nothing but hair cutting.
That means they have expertise and will
take the time to find out what you want and
give you the best advice. They can deliver
trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a
client requests. They pride themselves on
the positive experience they offer so that
clients leave them looking good and feeling
great. The salons are up to the minute, but
Michelle has given them a taste of the past,
too, installing traditional barber’s chairs
in recognition of her 30 years’ anniversary
so the customers get to combine the
traditional with the ultra-modern.
Michelle knows that it’s customer loyalty
that has kept her in business for so long,
and repays customers with a loyalty scheme
where every 8th cut is free. She also offers
styling products so you can recreate your
salon look at home but her real aim is to
cater for the community by providing
fabulous haircuts for the whole family in
a friendly atmosphere and all at affordable
prices.
Call in to the Bush Inn salon on
the corner of Riccarton and Waimari
Road (telephone 3487008) or the South
City salon at 555 Colombo Street
(telephone 3660619).

Do your children lack selfconfidence,
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 O’Grady 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 O’Grady 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 selfdevelopment
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.

Device to Prevent Snoring
Why put up with broken sleep,
when help is at hand with
Snorex, an appliance that
prevents snoring, sleep
apnoea, and dry and raw throats.
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for
comfort, and a follow up service is provided.
Denise Lim has been involved with Snores
for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate
with people using the appliance. Snoring can
be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea,
where the person actually stops breathing for
short periods.
It can cause short-term memory loss,
tiredness and contribute to high blood
pressure.
The Snorex device does not feel restrictive,
is non-invasive and carries a money-back
guarantee.
Many people are referred by ear, nose
and throat specialists, however, anyone can
phone for an appointment.
For an information pack or to discuss
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim
on 383 0994 or check out the website

A Mother of All Gifts
Take the worry out of Mother’s Day!
Wondering what to buy Mum
when a box of chocolates or
hand-cream won’t do another
year round?
A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me
a new idea. When many of our mothers are
feeling the ache of ageing limbs, or suffer
with chronic pain or circulatory problems,
Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help
answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to
fit your pocket, simple in concept, easy to use
and acclaimed by a growing number of users
in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an
envelope if Mum lives a distance away.
For painful hands, feet or legs this small
therapeutic device is used when sitting, most
effective when used in several short spells a
day - no need for long tough workouts. Jenny
says, “Many delighted people report that it
helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems
such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know
that regular use while sitting watching TV
can begin the progress of stronger legs, better
balance, comfortable walking and freedom
from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage
a range of health conditions – it offers
relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost
anywhere.
Jenny showed me some of the many
grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle
users have spent heavily on medications
and therapy before discovering this simple
effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “News
is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we
still have a way to go.”
Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well
done Jenny! Mum – you’re going to like this!

Care, compassion and skill
define Nurse Maude
Nurse Maude has been caring for the people of Canterbury since 1896.
Much of this nursing care
and support has been in the
community so people can stay
in their own homes and retain
as much independence as possible.
Every year millions of kilometres are
clocked up as nurses and home support
workers cross the Canterbury region
providing personal, domestic, nursing and
specialist palliative care.
“All the nursing and homecare services
we provide, whether it be in the community
or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse
Maude Hospice are founded on the core
principles of partnership, respect and
nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief
executive of Nurse Maude.
“Our unique strength lies in the ability
of our people to blend that with the values
which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896;
that the needs of the patients and clients are
met with quality nursing care and support
provided by skilled and compassionate staff.”
“The broad spectrum of care provided by
Nurse Maude encompasses the two most
vulnerable groups in our society, the very
young and the elderly.”
Nurse Maude has always been a
collaborative organisation, providing care
in partnership with general practitioners,
practice nurses, district health boards, ACC
and the Ministry of Health among others.
“It is through improved communication
and the sharing of information that these
relationships continue to strengthen for
the benefit of our patients and clients,” says
Magee.
From the frontline staff who exhibit
that blend of expertise, efficiency and
compassion which makes Nurse Maude so
special through to those who support them
in administrative roles and Nurse Maude’s
volunteers who give so generously of their
time and talent, the organisation that is
Nurse Maude attracts enormous respect in
the community.
While the technology, processes and
systems used to provide that care today
would no doubt astonish Sibylla Maude,
there is little doubt that 120 years on that
the organisation that bears her name and
continues her legacy of care would meet
with her wholehearted approval.

How can you effectively manage
your busy day? Time
management is not necessarily
working “harder,” but rather,
“smarter.” Here are five time
management mistakes we
should all avoid to increase our
daily success both on and off the

1. Starting your day without a

management is doing the right
things initially.
2. Losing balance in your life.
Our lives comprise seven vital
areas that need balance. These

EnviroMaster
Are you struggling with the heat
of Summer or wanting to get
organised for Winter? With the
ever changing weather patterns,
heat pumps have the flexibility of being able
to heat and cool which is an advantage no
other appliance can offer. This represents
great value for your investment as you can
use it all year round. The team at Enviro
Master Ltd can help keep you cool this
Summer either at home or work. Enviro
Master supplies, installs and services all
the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
We currently have savings up to $600
off the recommended retail price on
selected models.
Would you like to maximise the number
of days you can use your swimming pool?
Heating your pool can do this and one of
the most cost effective ways is with a water
heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply,
install and service you swimming pool heat
pump providing you with a comfortable,
extended swimming season.
Servicing your heat pump is extremely
important to ensure that it is working
as effectively and efficiently as possible
resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,
lower power bills and greater comfort. But
beware, not all cleaning companies are
equal. We are constantly hearing of people
being charged huge amounts for servicing
and all they are getting is a heat pump
clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified
engineers and therefore are able to fully
test and diagnose any problems you may
or may not be aware of with your heat
pump. Also, as we are associated with all
major brands, we are able to repair these
under warranty if they are still within the
warranty period.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.

To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for
your building requirement. Smooth-
Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment,
from air vents to ducting for fans, for both
the commercial and domestic markets. They
have an extensive range of fans and ventilation
components in-store but they can also provide
innovative solutions tailored to differing
requirements.
VENTILATIoN
This includes both the exchange of air to the
outside as well as circulation of air within the
building. It is one of the most important factors
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality
in buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
- warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In case
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,
smells, humidity and harmful substances are
not removed.
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high
content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful
and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells
can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous
system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for
cross ventilation, however as winter approaches,
we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat
and as a result, air quality can decline.
It is therefore very important to ensure good
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.
HOME OR OFFICE
TOO HOT OR
TOO COLD?
Allow us to help you achieve year-round comfort

and we guide our clients through the selection

18 Glendevere Terrace, Redcliffs
Auction: May 12, 2016
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4869
Designed to maximise the glorious
views, you will be captivated as
you gaze over the estuary and
Southshore to take in the sweep
of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond.
This is not for the casual observer as the
home conceals its appealing and spacious
interior from the street, and it’s only once
you have soaked up the stunning views will
you be able to enjoy the expansive family
living, including a bright, modern kitchen
and defined dining area, then explore further
into the home.
To suit families who want extra space,
there is a large formal lounge/media room
on the first floor, which would also suit those
who wished to have an office to work from
home as it features easy separate access from
the street while on the lower level the home
offers a master bedroom complete with en
suite, three further good-sized bedrooms
and main bathroom. There is also the benefit
of a shower room on the ground floor, which
is ideal when you get back from a quick surf
or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short
drive away.
For your outdoor entertaining, the west
-facing timber deck is perfect for summer
BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at
the end of the day. The internal access,
triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes
the package.
Having just completed a major renovation
to a very high standard, the home will meet
the demands of the most discerning buyers
and, while I am surprised the decision has
been made to sell such a wonderful home, I
have been given clear instructions to sell the
property on auction day, unless sold prior.
Open Home dates: Wednesdays and
Sundays, 2pm to 2.40pm. See you at
the Open Days. For more information
