Best mate labelled a 

hero after explosion 

• By Andrew King 

DANIEL ROBERTS owes 

his life to his best mate who 

threw himself on top of him to 

smother the flames he had been 

engulfed by. 

Mr Roberts of Ilam suffered 

horrendous burns to his hands, 

face and body after a butane 

container was ignited by a 

nearby heater and exploded on 

June 7 at about 10pm. 

He has been in an induced 

coma in Christchurch Hospital 

for the last 10 days and had to 

undergo an eight-hour surgery 

on Friday to graft skin onto his 

hands and part of his back. 

His wife Nadia Roberts said 

if it had not been for his best 

mate, James, he would have 

died. 

“He just saw his best friend 

screaming in pain so he jumped 

on top of him and tried to put 

the flames out. He didn’t even 

think about his own safety, he 

just tried to save his mate,” Mrs 

Roberts said. 

James also suffered burns to 

his hands but it was Mr Roberts 

who took most of the blast. 

She has labelled him a hero, 

one of many that came to her 

aid on that night but also in the 

following days. 

“The neighbours came over 

and just said we will take the 

kids you just take care of what 

needs to be done over here,” she 

said. 

The couple have two children, 

a nine-year-old and a two-yearold 

and Mrs Roberts said it has 

been hard for both of them. 

“My two-year-old wakes up 

at night crying for her daddy. 

She now comforts herself by 

cuddling his pillow at night,” 

she said. 

On Friday the shed was being 

pulled down because of 

memories it brought back for 

the family. 

“I just want it gone,” Mrs 

Roberts said. 

She said without the love and 

support from her family and the 

surrounding community things 

would be looking much worse. 

“I have to give a huge amount 

of thanks to the emergency services, 

the doctors, the local kindergarten 

and my neighbours 

who have helped out. It makes it 

a little easier,” she said. 

GRATEFUL: Nadia Roberts and her two children are praising the quick actions of her 

husband’s best mate saying he has probably saved his life. Inset: The shed after the explosion.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News......................3,5,6 & 10 

IT IS a sad fact that bullying is 

not only prevalent in schools, but 

in many other facets of life. Vicki 

Edwards-Brown is the driving 

force behind Be The Change, 

an anti-bullying programme 

that started after she saw a lack 

of empathy for those subjected 

to schoolyard harassment. The 

actress and singer talks about not 

only the programme but her stint 

on Shortland Street on page 8. 

On page 10, reporter Donna 

Miles talks to the Canterbury 

Muslim Community Trust. 

Though they do not suffer the 

same levels of “islamophobia” 

compared to the rest of the world, 

there is still a way to go in understanding 

the different cultures 

of the 40 ethnic groups that 

represent the Muslim community 

in the city. 

Have a good week.

Mall parks needed 

• By Tania Green and Andrew 

King 

CARPARKING ISSUES at 

Northlands Shopping Centre 

are forcing vehicles out to 

suburbans streets, creating a 

nuisance for residents. 

Residents say that malls are 

not providing enough car parks 

for their employees and shoppers, 

with nearby streets taking 

the load. That means narrower 

streets, and not enough room 

for visitors to park. 

Papanui resident Kathleen 

Crisley (left) said 

it was particularly 

bad around 

peak time, such 

as holidays, with 

mall staff trying 

to find a spare 

space. 

“Easter and 

Christmas are times when our 

whole street will be full with 

cars. Some of them are more 

considerate than others when 

it comes to parking near driveways,” 

she said. 

But Northlands marketing 

manager Rebecca Sheppard 

said she was not aware of parking 

being an issue, nor has it 

received any complaints from 

surrounding residents. 

PARKING PROBLEMS: Residents say that malls are not providing enough car parks for their 

employees and shoppers meaning nearby streets are taking the load. 

“Northlands provides over 

1700 car parks for our customers 

and designated parking 

for our retail staff and the city 

council have ‘time limit’ parking 

in most of the residential 

areas in close proximity to the 

mall,” she said. 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board chairman Mike Davidson 

said the problem stems 

from the consenting process. 

“Pressure needs to be put on 

developers to consider the employees 

that will need to get to 

their place of employment and 

the surrounding residents who 

are living nearby,” he said. 

He said getting people into 

these commercial areas without 

the use of a car is key. 

“We need to be looking at 

better public transportation,” 

he said. 

City councillor Paul Lonsdale 

said malls are not supplying 

enough car parks for their 

employees. 

“We are seeing the spill over 

into residential areas,” he said.

street packed with cars because

In Brief 

MAN REUNITED WITH BAG 

A man has been reunited with a bag 

he left at a Papanui bus stop on May 

30. It was taken to the Papanui Police 

Station. They asked the Nor’West 

News if it could run a picture of the 

man to get his possessions back to 

him. 

WHOOPING COUGH 

OUTBREAK 

A warning has gone out to parents 

at Paparoa Street School after an outbreak 

of whooping cough. Six cases 

were reported last week, prompting 

an email from principal Philip Harding 

to parents urging them to ensure 

children were up to date with their 

immunisations, and teach children 

to cover coughs and wash and dry 

their hands. To date, no other schools 

have been affected. 

WHEELIE BIN STOCKTAKE 

Kerbside wheelie bins throughout 

the city will be fitted with radio 

frequency tags as part of a stocktake 

starting next month. The stocktake 

is designed to save $9.3m on the cost 

of the bin collection service over 

the next 13 years by removing lost, 

damaged and stolen bins from circulation. 

Radio frequency tag’s will be 

installed to ensure bins that are damaged, 

stolen or found on other properties 

can be easily identified. The 

short range radio frequency chips 

will communicate with the collection 

truck as it goes past to ensure that 

the bin is located near the correct 

property. It will take approximately 

three years to complete.

Shirley-Papanui 

Community 

Board member 

Jo Byrne talks 

about having 

“wheelchairfriendly 

surfaces” 

in childrens’ 

playgrounds, so all children 

have the chance to play. 

Many people know of my interest 

in flooding issues in the Flockton 

area. 

However, many people don’t 

realise that, as a part time speech 

language therapist working with 

children and young people with 

disabilities, I have also been actively 

advocating for more inclusive 

facilities in our ward. 

The therapy team I work with 

made an in-depth submission to 

the Margaret Mahy family playground 

team on making that play 

area safe and accessible for people 

with disabilities. 

Overseas, many major cities are 

developing all access play areas. 

These are destination play areas 

where children of all abilities can 

play on the equipment. 

This means children with disabilities 

can play alongside their 

siblings and friends. Children can 

be side-by-side using different 

swings, including basket swings

Wheelchair-friendly fun

and Hagley Ave, as well as 27 other roads in the city. 

and platform swings. 

Children using wheelchairs are 

then not isolated in the wheelchair 

swing in the corner of a park. 

Internationally there are now 

play equipment manufacturers 

which specialise in accessible play 

grounds. 

In Auckland an all abilities playground 

has opened in Long Bay. 

The Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board has been working for more 

accessible play areas in our ward, 

too. 

Locally, it is fantastic to see the 

Smile Dial Sensory Garden development 

plans in Burwood. 

As playgrounds in the ward have 

come up for renewal, we have supported 

city council staff in coming 

up with play solutions that work for 

as many children as possible (while 

operating within the proposed 

budget). 

This means we have chosen more 

wheelchair friendly surfaces, and 

equipment that has more options 

for less physically able children. 

Work has started in the Craighead 

Reserve play area, and is 

planned for the new The Groynes 

play area. 

The community board would 

love a future Christchurch that 

has play equipment across the city 

for all our young people, so they 

can play safely in their own community 

and have the most suitable 

resources available. 

Another project the community 

board has had input into is the 

working party for the design of the 

new St Albans Community Centre. 

The plans for the proposed centre 

include an adult change bed, and 

hopefully will also include a ceiling 

hoist. 

This means that adults with disabilities 

who are unable to use the 

usual disability toilet facilities can 

still access their community and 

not have to go home when they 

need changing. 

This would open the community 

facility for use for a wider range of 

community groups. 

We all hope that when we look 

at the future Christchurch that it is 

truly accessible. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you 

agree with Jo Byrne? What 

parks can you think of that

so that all children 

can enjoy them? Email fraser.

E Scott, Fendalton – 

I simply cannot believe 

this is even being considered. 

I absolutely oppose this 

idea. The city is difficult 

enough to negotiate without 

this. One cannot watch the 

road and speedometer at the 

same time. Having seen the 

article showing traffic personnel 

with a speed camera 

proves, without a doubt, it is 

a money making move on the 

city council’s part. Why can’t 

pedestrians and cyclists take 

FLAME FILES 

TWO PROPERTY fires, with 

all the drama and heartache 

they entail, occurred this 

week – the result of very 

topical causes reflecting the 

start of winter. 

In the early hours of last 

Sunday, a household in Parklands 

was alerted by smoke 

alarms to the fact the house 

was on fire. 

That there were operating 

smoke detectors saved a possible 

tragedy, but the cause 

may have been avoidable. 

The origin of the fire was 

traced to a clothes dryer that 

responsibility for themselves 

when moving around the 

city. Already I avoid the 

areas reduced to 30km/h, 

so businesses will notice a 

marked difference. All my 

work colleagues are doing the 

same. We have just returned 

from a 21-day cruise in 

Europe. For everyone who 

asked where we came from, 

my stock answer is “the city 

from hell, called Christchurch”. 

This absolutely endorses 

that. 

Winter fire tips 

had been started before the 

occupants went to bed. 

There’s two points here. 

Firstly, it isn’t known 

whether the lint filter had 

been cleared recently. 

If it hadn’t, and this should 

be done every time the drier 

is used, it is possible the contents 

just got hotter and hotter 

to ignition temperature. 

Secondly, the use of these 

things should probably be 

restricted to when you’re at 

home, up and alert. Then you 

can deal with problems immediately 

as they occur.

Cyclists may get discount 


A PROPOSED plan to provide 

users of Jellie Park Recreation 

and Sports Centre with 

incentives to leave the car at 

home is gathering momentum. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi 

Community Board wants those 

who walk, bike or use public 

transport to access the facility, 

instead of using a car, to be 

rewarded. 

The details will be hammered 

out by a working party, which 

will be formed within weeks to 

get as many different groups and 

Jellie Park users around the table 

to hear their ideas. 

Deputy chairman David 

Cartwright said it is an exciting 

project. 

“We want all the ideas, no idea 

is a bad idea,” he said. 

One idea is for bike users, who 

present their helmet to staff, to 

receive a discount to use the 

facilities. 

“There will be those out there 

that say it will be taken advantage 

of by people driving to the 

centre and taking a helmet with 

them. Those people are just sad 

and we can’t ruin what could be 

a good idea because of that,” he 

said. 

LESS CARS: The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board wants to reward people who use other 

means to get to Jellie Park. 

Spokes Canterbury chairman 

Don Babe said he applauds the 

idea. 

“I have always thought it was 

a weird thing that people would 

hop in their car and drive a long 

distance to exercise. Why not 

bike or walk instead. This would 

encourage that,” he said. 

Once all the ideas have been 

gathered up by the working 

party it will make a recommendation 

to the city council, which 

will have the final say on the 

proposal. 

That is expected to happen in 

November. 

“This will not only go a long 

way to solve the parking problems 

that sometimes arise at 

Jellie Park, but it has huge health 

benefits as well,” Mr Cartwright 

said. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Would 

you use public transport or 

bike to Jellie Park if you received 

discounts to use the 

facility? Share your views

New men’s 

club home 


THE BISHOPDALE Menzshed 

hit two milestones last week – 

they found a new home and they 

now have 50 members. 

The group has been based out 

of two containers and an enclosed 

courtyard at the Bishopdale Mall 

after moving out of the Bishopdale 

Community Creche. 

They had to move to make 

room for the new community 

centre and library. 

Now they will build community 

projects and give those with surplus 

skills a place to ply their trade 

in the old scout den on Kendal 

Ave. 

Menzshed facilitator Bill Greenwood 

said it is fantastic news for 

the group. 

“The old scout den will be fitted 

out over the next few weeks to get 

it ready for the boys,” he said. 

He also was thrilled to hit the 

50-member mark. 

“It’s great isn’t it? We will be 

able to do quite a bit of good in 

the community and have a widerange 

of skills,” he said. 

The group started about two 

years ago with five members looking 

to help out their community. 

It boosts a healthy mix of ages, 

with members ranging from 18- 

89 years old.

TWO Christchurch Girls’ High 

School students had the luxury 

of knowing they would win a 

regional cooking competition 

even before competing. 

Year 13 students Bridget James 

and Emily Perkins were the only 

entrants in the Canterbury section 

of the National Secondary Schools 

Culinary Challenge, held at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury last week. 

This meant they only had to 

show up to gain entry to the 

national final in Auckland on 

August 30. 

The competition was meant to 

involve several teams of year 12 or 

13 culinary students going headto-head 

in a live kitchen cook-off 

to produce four portions of entrée 

and main meals in 90 minutes. 

Instead the girls were effectively 

able to use it as a practice run for 

the national final and a chance to 

hear judges’ feedback. 

James said the pair had been 

happy with how they went. 

“No other teams were around 

to stress us out, but I think we did 

pretty well.” 

Regional head judge Glenn 

Fulcher said it was very unusual to 

only have one team in a regional

final. 

“We probably get on average 

about four to six teams per region.” 

As regional winners, James and 

Perkins earned a $500 Bidvest 

voucher, a chef’s jacket for the 

final, a $200 Southern Hospitality 

voucher and travel assistance to 

get to the final. 

The national winning team will 

receive more than $17,000 worth 

of prizes and entry into

National head judge Mark Wylie 

said the competition was a once in 

a lifetime opportunity for students 

wanting to enter the hospitality 

industry.

Our People 


Former Shortland Street actor 

Vicki Edwards-Brown started the charity Be The 

Change in 2011 to tackle the problem of bullying and 

help support victims. She spoke to reporter Tom 

Doudney about what inspired her to set the charity 

up, her role on Shortland Street and the freak spinal 

injury she suffered. 

I heard that you were actually 

bullied as an adult, is that 

right? What role did that play 

in starting Be The Change? 

Yes, I was but it’s not the driving 

force behind why I started 

Be The Change. That driving 

force was to do with my husband 

working in a high school, seeing 

the effect that bullying was having 

on young people around me, 

and just really having a desperate 

need to help them and massive 

empathy for them. I was thinking 

‘that’s hard enough’, and 

then you have the earthquakes 

to deal with as well, and we need 

something in New Zealand to 

empower young people to stand 

up to bullying. 

Yeah, I was bullied in the 

workplace but I didn’t know it at 

the time, so I guess it would have 

been good to have tools and tips 

to know that, actually, that’s not 

okay. 

Can you tell me more about 

your background before 

starting Be The Change? 

My background is really in 

the speaking side of it. When I 

do the workshops and presentations, 

that comes from an acting 

background that I have. I have 

been on Shortland Street and 

other things when I was younger, 

so that has drawn me to being 

able to present to young people 

and fit in. 

When were you on Shortland 

Street? 

I was on in 2010. My husband 

[Shaun Edwards-Brown] was actually 

on for a whole year during 

2009 and 2010 as well. He was a 

pivotal character and I got a twomonth 

contract as well, which 

was really awesome. 

What character did you play? 

Her name was Jewel Fitzpatrick. 

What was Jewel like?

TAKING A STAND: Vicki Edwards-Brown started Be The 

Change, a charity that aims to tackle bullying. 

She was actually an actress. I 

was acting, playing an actress. 

Who did your husband play 

on Shortland Street? 

He was Ben Goodall – a paramedic. 

How did your tenure end 

at Shortland Street? Did your 

character get killed off or anything 

like that? 

No, some main characters did 

a play and I was in that play, so 

the play just ran its course and 

that was it. 

Did being on Shortland Street 

open up any more doors for you 

in terms of acting? 

Yeah, we lived in Auckland 

for six months and did some 

ads and things like that. Then 

we came back to Christchurch. 

I had major back surgery and 

then, being stuck in bed for six 

weeks while watching TV, I saw 

something which inspired me to 

create Be The Change. 

What was it you saw on TV? 

It was a programme about 

a bully prevention charity in 

America called Challenge Day 

and I saw that and just thought 

‘wow, that is really awesome’ 

and it just inspired me to do 

something because we needed 

something like that in New 

Zealand. 

You mentioned being in some 

ads, what might we recognise 

you from? 

They’re pretty old now – 

Vector’s fibre to the door was 

one. I was just like standing at 

a sink turning the tap on and 

trying to get water through a 

straw.

takes a stand against bullying 

But predominately I used to 

sing – I’d sing at Twiggers, at 

Addington Raceway. We used to 

sing every Friday and Saturday 

with the band. So a lot of my 

performing was theatrical with 

singing in a band and stuff like 

that. I had my own band called 

V.I.P. I have also done about 20 

shows through Showbiz over the 

years. 

What sort of music did you 

sing with your band? 

I love 80s. Anything from the 

60s right through. It was all Top 

of the Pops stuff that people like 

to hear. 

So, have you stopped playing 

with bands now? 

I do stuff with a group called 

Chant et Danse, a Christchurch 

entertainment group. 

You also mentioned that you 

had major back surgery, what 

happened there? 

It was a really freak accident. 

Eleven years ago, we were driving 

down Moorhouse Ave and 

there were high winds and a 

three-storey high tree broke off 

in the wind just as we drove past 

and the tree came through the 

roof on to my head. 

Oh my gosh! 

I’m laughing now but it wasn’t 

ON SCREEN: Vicki Edwards-Brown played the role of actor Jewel Fitzpatrick on the long running soap opera, Shortland Street. 

good at the time, and it literally 

broke my back. I had two spinal 

surgeries so I have got a titanium 

back. 

Do you feel good as new now? 

No, I have chronic back pain 

but I have just learned to live 

with it and do the best I can 

through exercise and being 

healthy and that sort of thing, 

and having a positive attitude 

about everything – everything. If 

you can think of something to be 

grateful for in life, and literally I 

think helping other people helps 

me. If I can lie in bed at night 

saying I have helped one person, 

that makes me happy. 

What sort of support do victims 

of bullying need most? Is 

it really just people being kind 

to them? 

That really is a huge part of 

it, yes. It takes a community 

to prevent bullying – not just 

a school, or the person, or the 

family. Schools are the ones that 

are often blamed but they really 

struggle with the resources and 

it’s people like me who can help 

them create positive cultures – 

and I need funding. Funding 

would enable me to give more resources 

and help to more schools 

in Christchurch. 

But yeah, just being kind and 

doing things like, for example, 

setting up lunchtime events at 

schools. We held an anonymous 

appreciation day at Cashmere 

High School, where we provided 

kids with cards and they write 

anonymously nice notes to other 

people. We delivered 1200 notes 

to teachers and students that day. 

It was such a wonderful experience 

and just set a positive buzz 

around the school. 

How do you think we should 

view people who bully? Are 

these bad people or should we 

pity them, too? 

I do believe that a bully generally 

is someone who is doing that 

because they are being bullied 

themselves, so I do go the way 

of feeling sorry for them and 

empathising with their situation, 

rather than telling them they’re 

bad.

Fighting prejudice 

• By Donna Miles 

CLOSE TO 40 different ethnic 

groups represent the Muslim 

community in the city. 

Community worker Dr 

Husaini Hafiz said that the 

city’s 3250 Muslims did not 

suffer from the same levels of 

Islamophobia experienced by 

Muslims in Europe and the 

United States, but racial and 

religious prejudices can exist 

everywhere. 

Dr Hafiz said the Canterbury 

Muslim Community 

Trust is building cultural and 

religious bridges by reaching 

out to the city’s Muslims and 

the wider non-Muslim community. 

“We would like to ensure 

that Christchurch remains a 

good place to live for all, which 

means taking steps to foster 

better understanding between 

different groups,” he said. 

Dr Hafiz said many people 

assumed that the Muslim community 

in Christchurch was 

homogenous with the same 

cultural practices and religious 

beliefs. 

He said that, in reality, 

the Muslim community in 

BREAKING PREJUDICES: Nada Tawfeek and her mother 

Dalia Mohamed are volunteers at the Islamic Women’s 

Council New Zealand. 

Christchurch was very diverse. 

The trust’s outreach programmes 

are run jointly with 

the Islamic Women’s Council 

New Zealand. 

ICWNZ member Denise 

Jeager said the inclusion 

of Muslim women in the 

outreach programme was essential 

to show Muslim women 

had a voice and they were willing 

to exercise it. 

ICWNZ volunteer Nada 

Tawfeek said the outreach programme 

was useful to bring 

about more open-minded 

views of Muslim women. 

“Some people were surprised 

to hear a girl in hijab speak 

with a British accent,” she said. 

Dr Hafiz said focus groups 

run in Canterbury had 

identified three common 

concerns amongst Muslims in 

Christchurch: leadership, communication 

and lack of Islamic 

knowledge. 

One of the trust’s goals 

was to address the need for 

stronger communication channels 

between Muslims and 

non-Muslim communities. 

Last July, the trust invited 

students from New Zealand 

Broadcasting School to join in 

the breaking of fast at the Al- 

Noor mosque in Christchurch. 

The invitation was a followup 

to an earlier educational 

session where the students 

were introduced to basic concepts 

of Islam and the impact 

of the media on Muslims. 

This year a similar educational 

session was offered to 

student journalists at the University 

of Canterbury and Ara 

Institute of Canterbury. 

Office of Ethnic Communities’ 

general manager, Maarten 

Quivooy, said organisations 

such as the Canterbury Muslim 

Trust play a “vital role” 

in educating and supporting 

New Zealanders to embrace 

and celebrate the benefits that 

diversity brings to us all.”

pupils back from the US 


FORMER SELWYN House 

School students were some of 

the youngest competitors at this 

year’s Future Problem Solving 

International Conference held in 

the United States. 

Eight girls, now all in high 

school, re-united to compete in 

two teams in the middle division 

global issues problem solving 

challenges. 

In the Presentation of Action 

Plan section of the competition, 

which involves a dramatic presentation 

of part of their solution, one 

team placed second in the world, 

while the other team placed third. 

This involved in depth research 

into a topic, they then went into 

a lock-up situation at the university 

and had to identify potential 

problems in the futuristic scenario 

presented. 

There were 70 teams in middle 

division from all around the world 

and the division ranges in age 

from 13 to 15 years old. 

Team member Kathleen King 

said they felt well-prepared and 

knew exactly how to approach the 

problems put in front of them. 

In the overall Global Issues 

Problem Solving booklet competition, 

one Selwyn team placed fifth 

in the world. 

Coach Greg Pearce said: “We 

are super proud of all the girls and 

their achievements.” 

OUTDOOR READING: Selwyn House School pupils got out of the classroom to read their 

favourite books as part of the school’s book week. It was organised by the year 8 Cybrary

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JUNE 2016 

EQC begins settling ILV land damage claims 

Head of Canterbury Land Settlement for EQC, 

Keith Land 

The Earthquake Commission has begun 

settling claims for Increased Liquefaction 

Vulnerability (ILV) land damage. 

Keith Land, Head of Canterbury Land 

Settlement, says that the settlements will go to 

4,400 customers whose properties have 

qualified as having an increased vulnerability to 

liquefaction following the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes. 

“Each qualified property is being assessed and 

will be cash settled on a case-by-case basis as 

we have done to date with other forms of land 

damage resulting from these earthquakes. 

Similar to Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) 

land damage, settlement of ILV land damage is 

a world-first. This type of land damage has not 

been covered by insurance anywhere else, so 

Fulbright-EQC Award recipient to study 

seismic performance of high-rise walls 

The Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award’s newest recipient, Alex Shegay, 

is looking into the reasons behind unexpected failures of reinforced 

concrete walls and ways in which performance can be improved. 

Mr Shegay, 24, has been granted the 2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate 

Award in Natural Disaster Research and soon will be heading to the 

University of Washington on his exchange. 

In the US, he will research the seismic performance of high-rise structural 

walls and use experimental data to create validated computer models. 

The research will go towards his PhD in Structural/Earthquake 

Engineering at the University of Auckland. 

“Structural engineers have significant social responsibility to protect 

civilians even in the most devastating circumstances. The 2010/2011 

Canterbury Earthquakes were an example of one such catastrophic event, 

producing ground accelerations never before recorded in an urban 

environment. 

“Many concrete buildings in Christchurch that relied on reinforced 

concrete walls for seismic resistance were severely damaged to the 

point that it was fortunate to find them still standing. It’s crucial to learn 

from the Canterbury earthquakes and improve building design and 

construction practice.” 

considerable work was required to get the 

engineering and valuation methodologies 

right,” said Mr Land. 

“We want to make sure that the final settlements 

are based on a robust and appropriate 

settlement process so that customers can have 

confidence their claims for ILV land damage 

have been paid consistently and fairly.” 

EQC expects at least two thirds of ILV 

customers will receive settlements based on 

the reduction in their property’s market value 

caused by ILV, also known as Diminution of 

Value (DOV). 

“This is because generally, there are no 

available ground improvement methods to 

address ILV damage on a property where 

a house has remained in place since the 

earthquakes,” says Mr Land. 

The remaining third of ILV customers are being 

assessed for a settlement based on the cost to 

repair the ILV land damage. This will generally 

be in situations where the house has already 

been, or will be, rebuilt or removed due to the 

earthquake damage.” 

Customers receiving a ‘cost to repair’ 

settlement will be individually case-managed, 

as the situation for each of them varies. Before 

it can be confirmed that these customers will 

receive a repair cost settlement, more 

information is needed to understand their 

property’s current situation. 

Mr Land says that settlements for DOV 

customers began this month and EQC also 

started contacting repair cost customers. 

EQC has resolved nearly 90% of properties 

with land claims resulting from 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes, and expects to 

resolve the remainder of the land programme 

by the end of 2016. 

EQC will also hold six ILV meetings from July to 

November for customers whose settlements are 

based on DOV. The purpose of the meetings is 

for customers to ask questions and hear from 

EQC and its valuers about what’s been involved 

in ILV settlement decisions.

Progress report 

on EQC remedial 

programme 

The Earthquake Commission has received 8,337 

remedial enquiries of which 2,211 have been resolved 

as of 27 May 2016. This leaves 6,126 enquiries 

remaining. 

The amount recorded as being spent on remedial work to 

May 2016 was $7,068,833. However it has not been possible 

to separate out all remedial costs from other work streams. 

The total cost of the remedial repairs will never be finally 

known until we have resolved all the outstanding claims. 

There are still a number of unknowns and it’s also too early 

to say exactly what the final figure will be for the remedial 

programme. However, EQC expects the final cost could be 

in the region of $60 million to $70 million, which is covered 

by our existing liability estimates. To put this estimate in 

context it would account for less than 3% of the approximate 

$2.5 billion cost of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme 

to date. 

The level of remedial work for the Canterbury Home 

Repair Programme is well within industry norms for the 

national construction sector. 

EQC has prioritised first time repairs, although it has carried 

out urgent remedial work for vulnerable customers or where 

the work is needed to make a house safe, secure and/or 

sanitary. 

Now that EQC is down to the last of the first time repairs, 

focus has increased on resolving remedials. 

EQC is confident it has the processes and teams in place to 

address the issues. EQC has been expanding the remedial 

team since September 2015 and more staff are being added 

as first time repairs near completion. 

EQC does not have a projected date to stop receiving 

remedial requests but will continue working with customers 

until their claims are resolved. 

One of the reasons for starting the Canterbury Home Repair 

Programme was to ensure customers would have the 

assurance that any issues with their earthquake repairs 

would be addressed. 

Currently around 100 remedial requests are being received 

a week. 

Customers can follow the progress of their 

claim through a series of EQC letters with a tick 

diagram. Each new tick means the customer 

is closer to receiving their settlement. 

Processing 

starts for 

Feb 2016 

quakes 

EQC aims to complete assessments 

more quickly for the February 2016 

Canterbury earthquake claims using 

customer-provided information for 

desk-based assessments. 

Onsite assessment visits to customers’ 

properties will be the exception for cases 

where there is extensive damage, claims 

are complex or individual circumstances 

require it. EQC claim managers have 

been calling customers to get 

information and documents – such as 

specific damage measurements and 

photos – before deciding whether a 

phone or on-site assessment works best. 

Claims processing is well underway 

with over 685 claims paid so far out of 

the total 13,134 received. Priority is 

given to vulnerable customers, followed 

by claims in the order in which they 

were lodged. 

“Customers who have had their claims 

settled so far have told us that the new 

approach is working better for them. 

Before starting to settle claims, EQC 

proactively talked with customers about 

different ways of doing things, using 

their feedback to design our approach 

for this event,” says EQC Manager of 

the February 2016 Event, Jayne Lapin. 

“Most of the damage suffered is 

cosmetic, so EQC won’t manage a repair 

programme this time but, customers 

who need assistance to organise repairs, 

can contact our Community Contact 

Team in Christchurch. The team has 

strong links with support agencies who 

can help. Call EQC on 0800 DAMAGE 

(0800 326 243) to book an appointment 

with the Community Contact Team, if 

support is needed. 

“For customers whose 2010/2011 

Canterbury earthquake claims are still 

open, EQC aims to resolve their February 

2016 claim together with their 

2010/2011 claims. We want to make 

sure all outstanding issues for their 

properties are on track for resolution by 

the end of 2016,” Ms Lapin says. 

At this stage, EQC expects to resolve 

the majority of February 2016 

earthquake claims by the end of 

December 2016.

highlights 

Burnside Associate Principal 

Richard Barnett has become Burnside High 

School’s Associate Principal this term, an 

exciting new challenge for him after four 

years as Deputy Principal for South Division. 

Whilst he will miss the students, families and 

staff that he got to know well in that area 

of the school, Mr Barnett is looking forward 

to broadening his responsibilities. Although 

he will not be teaching himself - for the 

first time in 32 years - Mr Barnett still finds 

working with and for students to be the most 

rewarding part of his new job at Burnside. 

Thank you 

To everyone who attended our Open Night on 

Tuesday 17 May. We trust you enjoyed your time 

with us, learned more about our school, and gained 

an insight into what makes Burnside High School 

special. I am grateful to our 250 volunteer student 

guides who were proud to share their school with 

you. 

Burnside High School is very successful and has an 

outstanding reputation for its ability to ensure that 

students achieve very well. We do this through our 

high-quality learning environments and specialist 

facilities. Our size, and all the advantages that this 

brings, is a point of difference and is what makes this 

decile 8, state, co-educational school special. 

Burnside High School bases its culture on a vision 

of ‘personal excellence and caring for others’. Our 

values-based approach and purpose-driven culture 

is the foundation for our success. Our school crest is 

the historic cabbage trees (tī kōuka) that stand so 

proudly on our grounds. They are a historic landmark, 

guiding the way to a safe journey. The school ethos is 

based on tī kōuka: guiding all who pass this way. 

The six significant features that make Burnside High 

School a leader of learning are: 

• We are a centre for academic excellence with an 

emphasis on high-quality teaching practices and 

in the outstanding achievements of many of our 

students. 

• Our roll of around 2,500 students enables us 

to provide an extensive, diverse and specialised 

curriculum that caters for and challenges students 

of all abilities. 

• We provide an exceptionally wide range of 

co-curricular opportunities (music, drama, dance, 

clubs and sports) for students to enjoy, learn new 

skills, take leadership roles, and achieve at a high 

level. 

• We are a caring school where students are known 

and supported as individuals within a positive, 

inclusive and well-resourced learning environment. 

• We have effective relationships with parents and 

the wider community that improve outcomes for 

students. 

• We are innovative and responsive to the evolving 

nature of society through continuous and rigorous 

review of our systems, practices and procedures. 

It is my firm belief that this school, in partnership 

with parents and caregivers, has the proven ability 

to guide students to become young adults with the 

skills, attributes, and attitudes to make a success of 

their lives in the workplace, in the community, and as 

members of supportive and loving families. I believe 

in, and am proud of, Burnside High School and feel 

privileged to be its Principal. 

Phil Holstein, 

Principal 

Stage Challenge 

Congratulations to everyone involved in Stage Challenge, this year both in the Open Division (Seniors) and the Raw Division 

(Juniors). Open received awards for: community, costumes, set, soundtrack and lighting design. Raw received awards for: 

choregraphy, costume, concept, performance, visual enhancement, lighting, and Spirit. 

The student led Speak Up group organised a very successful Pink Day this term. This involved Year 13 students dressing 

up in Pink for the day, to show that at Burnside High School we aim to create an environment where all students feel safe 

and can enjoy their education free from bullying. We were also very grateful for a new initiative that was brought to us by 

Ashley McDonald and her form class 12SPRL. This year every student in the school was able to sign a pink cardboard T shirt 

which was displayed in our library and made a beautiful and meaningful display. 

Charity Run 

On Monday the 16th of May the Year 13 Sports Leadership 

class completed a charity run to Akaroa. The class chose 

to undertake the task of running to Akaroa in order to raise 

funds for New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and The 

Prostate Cancer Foundation. 

The class planned numerous fundraising activities such as 

a pizza night and sausage sizzles as well as approaching 

individual members of the community for individual 

sponsorship. The run itself started at 6:30am and the class 

reached Akaroa at 4:30pm. The students all together ran 

469kms averaging half a marathon each. Some of the 

organised fundraising is yet to be completed but so far they 

have raised over $2000. 

By the end of term 2 they hope to hit a grand tally close to 

$5000.

SCHOOL 

Cotswold School junior pupils 

experienced what a normal summer in 

Antarctica is like when they visited the 

Antarctic Centre last week. The pupils 

all enjoyed the interactive experiences, 

including watching the little blue 

penguins swim in their habitat. Jordan 

Yang, 6, said he was “excited to see” 

them. One of the pupils’ highlights was 

the Antarctic storm room which drops 

to negative 18 deg C. The room goes 

dark and the wind starts to blow which 

gives the pupils a real feel for what the 

weather would be like in Antarctica in 

summer. Ryan McMillan, 6, said you 

knew the storm was coming. “The snow 

room was dark. It got windy but it was so 

fun,” he said. Devon Fearn, 6, said inside 

the igloo in the snow room was warm. “It 

was freezing and it was only summer,” 

she said. It wasn’t all fun and games with 

the pupils heading into a classroom to 

learn about the animal life in Antarctica 

and the surrounding environment. 

GETTING FRIENDLY: Daniel Galbraith and Harrison 

Boyd cuddle up to the Emperor Penguins in the 

cave. 

HUDDLE FOR HEAT: Corey Percasky, 6, and Dallas Fox, 6, try to 

stay warm in the snow room.

Migrant teacher retires 


A CHRISTCHURCH woman 

has hung up her hat after 20 

years of welcoming newcomers 

to the city. 

It was Mr Winston Peters’ 

anti-immigrant rants that 

first spurred 80-year-old 

Margaret Sweet and her friend, 

67-year-old Gill Fahey, to join 

forces to welcome newcomers to 

Christchurch. 

The classes started off as 

social meetings but soon 

developed into topic-specific 

conversational classes. 

As the word got round and 

the classes grew in size, Ms 

Fahey and Ms Sweet set about 

recruiting helpers. 

“In our hey-day, we probably 

had 10, 15 teachers,” Ms Sweet 

said. 

Ms Sweet, a retired highschool 

English teacher, said 

the classes were a great source 

of friendship and learning for 

both teachers and students. 

“The thing that comes up 

more strongly is how alike we 

all are and how we all care 

about the same things,” she said 

Former student, Iranian 

woman Sima Siruspour, 71, said 

the classes helped her improve

HELPING OTHERS: (From left) Margaret Sweet, of Ilam ,

Christchurch, Sima Siruspour, of Merivale. 

her English and learn about 

New Zealand culture. 

“We were very, very lucky 

to have the two Margarets, 

Maragret Sweet and Margaret 

Johnstone, and the other helpers,” 

she said. 

Another former student, Ron 

Luo, immigrated from China 

to Christchurch eight years 

ago, and was unable to speak 

LAWyerS 

English. 

Mr Luo said the conversational 

classes were helpful to 

give him confidence to speak 

English. 

Mr Luo now runs the Red 

Café at the Upper Riccarton Library 

where the conversational 

classes were run from. 

Co-founder of the classes, Ms 

Fahey, passed away from cancer 

in 2009. 

Nominated by her students 

and still ill with cancer, Ms 

Fahey was featured in the Good 

Sorts TV programme. 

“Gill looked lovely, so we saw 

the programme on TV and not 

very long after that, probably 

only maybe about 6 months, 

Gill died and they showed that 

TV programme at her funeral 

and that was so nice,” Ms Sweet 

said. 

Ms Sweet said the classes were 

wound down because they were 

left with only four teachers. 

One of the long-term volunteers, 

90-year-old Daphne 

Crampton, moved to Nelson 

after the earthquakes. 

Ms Sweet said that many of 

Ms Crampton’s former students 

had travelled to Nelson to see 

her. 

“Her former students are visiting 

her at the hospital and that 

is very nice,” Ms sweet said. 

Ms Siruspour said it was sad 

that the classes had come to an 

end but was pleased that Ms 

Sweet had organised a monthly 

book group, targeted at new 

English speakers, so teachers 

and students can continue their 

friendships. 

What’s new 

pussycat 


A MERIVALE woman who had 

vowed never to let another cat into 

her heart has succumbed to furry 

sweet persuasions. 

Bettina Zadehvakili’s beloved cat, 

Binka, died after a simple operation 

led to complications. 

Following the unexpected loss of 

her cat and the long grief that followed, 

Ms Zadehvakili vowed never 

to get attached to another cat again, 

but two cute local cats had other 

ideas. 

Scampy and Bonnie soon discovered 

stealing a cat-lover’s heart was no 

dog work. 

“Scampy shows up early in the 

morning and sleeps on my bed. Bonnie 

visits in the afternoon and likes 

lots of cuddles,” Ms Zadehvakili said. 

The two local cats have been great 

company for Ms Zadehvakili who, 

until recently, was spending long 

lonely hours at home writing her 

doctoral thesis. 

“They are extremely happy and affectionate 

cats. Hard not to love them 

really”, she said. 

Ms Zadehvakili’s 12-year-old 

daughter, Bahar, is also a fan of the 

feline duo. The cats’ owner Mr Chris 

Stevenson said he was aware of his 

cats’ long visits to Ms Zadehvakili’s 

home. 

We provide a full range of modern dental services

Cashmere and Burnside High 

schools. 

The team has no shortage of 

talent with three under-19 and 

two under-17 Canterbury representative 

players in their line-up. 

The only blip in the season to 

date was a 76-85 loss to Burnside 

a fortnight ago. 

“We sort of dragged the chain 

in that game a wee bit. We 

finished well and got it back to 

three points with a few minutes 

to go, but just couldn’t quite seal 

the deal. It was a good game to 

be part of though,” said CBHS 

coach Glenn Lang. 

One of the driving forces 

behind Boys’ High’s success has 

been Jack Ansell. 

The forward is a consistent 

source of points, averaging 

around 20 points per game. 

Ansell has also been productive 

on the boards. He leads the 

league with 70 re-bounds, 30 of 

which have been offensive. 

CBHS will also be looking 

to have the services of highlytouted 

Canterbury Rams guard 

Quinn Clinton returned for 

tonight’s match. 

Clinton returned from Asia 

last week after attending a coaching 

program in China, which 

saw him test his skills against 

the best young players from 

throughout Asia. 

The event was also attended 

by top coaches from around the 

world, as well as current and 

former NBA players. 

Tonight’s opposition will provide 

plenty of challenges. 

Last year’s runner-up, Cashmere, 

are currently undefeated in 

the competition. 

“They just have an all-round 

solid team, they go pretty deep. 

They have a stand out guard, 

Connor McLaughlin. He’s pretty 

good, he’s a Canterbury under-17 

rep as well,” Lang said. 

Cashmere’s Connor McLaughlin 

is one of the competition’s top 

scorers and currently sits second 

in total assists. 

A vocal home crowd is expected 

at CBHS tonight. Tip-off 

is at 6pm. 

CREATING A PLAN: Christchurch Boys’ High will need to have a solid game plan tonight 

when they face an undefeated Cashmere High School.

Ara nurses remain in demand 

ExcEllEnt EmploymEnt prospects 

and a variety of career options continues 

to attract talented students to the world of 

nursing. 

At Ara Institute of canterbury (formerly 

cpIt), the institute’s nursing programme 

is highly-regarded. In fact, 90% of nursing 

graduates find employment after graduation 

– that’s new Zealand’s highest nursing 

graduate employment rate. Ara prides itself 

on consistently reaching the top place. 

So what makes Ara nursing graduates so 

employable? 

years of experience in delivering nursing 

training, along with great facilities and 

expert tutors, is the first key to success. 

Secondly, the institute works closely with 

the health sector to ensure that the training 

aligns with what is needed on the ground 

in the region’s hospital wards, community 

health centres and aged care facilities. Ara 

continues to develop innovative work-based 

training that help prepare graduate nurses 

for the real world of work. 

Executive Director of nursing at 

canterbury District Health Board (cDHB) 

mary Gordon says the sector is closely 

involved with nursing training at Ara 

providing clinical placements for nursing 

students, employing new graduate nurses 

across the canterbury health system, 

supporting nurses to undertake graduate 

and post graduate education. nurses within 

the canterbury health system are very 

committed to supporting the training and 

development of Ara nursing students. “These 

students are our future nursing workforce. 

They will be our future nursing educators 

and leaders who will be shaping the health 

system for the future.” 

Head of nursing at Ara, cathy Andrew, 

says nursing training is aligned to industry 

conditions and the demands of modern 

nursing. “We have excellent relationships 

with clinical agencies and work closely 

together to provide learning experiences 

that are positive for students. We are seen as 

national leaders in innovative clinical models 

of learning and regularly receive feedback 

that our graduates are actively recruited by 

employers throughout new Zealand.” 

march 2016 graduates of the Ara Bachelor 

of nursing programme achieved a 90.3% 

employment rate. They are out there working 

in the sector in a variety of roles across the 

spectrum of nursing including hospital 

wards, mental health, community health, 

aged care and emergency units.

ST ANDREW’S College 

suffered two defeats in the 

space of five days in the 

UC Championship. 

However, there may be a 

silver lining to come from 

the latest round of play. 

St Andrew’s got off to a 

bright start in Saturday’s 

UC Championship match 

against Shirley Boys’ High 

School. 

The competition’s top 

point scorer Sam Gilbert 

crossed the line for STAC 

10 minutes into the game. 

He then converted his 

own try to make it an early 

7-0 lead. 

Shirley Boys’ got themselves 

on the board five 

minutes late when first-five 

SPORTS 

SILVER LINING: St Andrew’s in action earlier this year against Roncalli. 

St Andrew’s tough week 

Jackson Taylor converted a 

penalty right out in front. 

St Andrew’s extended 

their lead 20 minutes 

through the first half. 

Winger Alipate Gonerogo 

did well to elude a 

last-ditch tackle before 

running in for the try to 

make it 14-3. 

That would be the last 

point St Andrew’s would 

manage. 

Tries either side of halftime 

swung the match in 

Shirley Boys’ favour and 

they didn’t look back, running 

in two further tries to 

win the game 27-12. 

Although the loss ended 

what had been a frustrating 

week for St Andrew’s, 

Saturday wasn’t all bad 

news. 

STAC lost the Moascar 

Cup, (secondary school 

version of the Ranfurly 

Shield) on Tuesday but 

will have a chance to reclaim 

it this weekend. 

Timaru Boys High 

School claimed the cup 

with a 14-11 win against St 

Andrew’s last week. 

However, they were 

unsuccessful in their first 

defence of the silverware 

on Saturday. Timaru lost 

the Moascar Cup to Nelson 

College 3-18. 

The result means that St 

Andrew’s will now have 

a challenge for the cup 

less than a fortnight after 

losing it. 

St Andrew’s travel north 

this weekend to face Nelson 

College.

GYMNASTICS AND 

trampolining pupils from 

Marshland School mixed 

it up with the best in 

their age group at a recent 

national competition. 

Seven Marshland pupils 

attended the 2016 Otago 

artistic qualifying competition, 

a trampoline tournament, 

and the Dunedin 

Gymnastic Academy 1st 

junior competitions. 

Seven-year-old Marshland 

gymnast, Libby 

McDonald, won first place 

overall, second in the floor 

section, and second in the 

vault. 

Her gym team also finished 

second overall. 

Principal Jacqui Pascoe 

said it had been an “exciting 

weekend” for the 

pupils. 

“(It was) a very exciting 

weekend for a number of 

our Marshland children. 

In another competition, 

the Marshland School 

Tramp Team did incredibly 

well,” she said. 

In the trampoline competition, 

Jacob McGraw, 

9, won the men’s B grade; 

Ethan Field, 9, gained 

silver in the men’s A grade; 

Isla Maclean, 9, also gained 

silver in the women’s A 

grade; Riley Field, 7, placed 

third in the men’s C grade; 

Brooke Robertson, 6, was 

sixth in the women’s C 

grade; and Milly Robertson 

competed for the first 

time in women’s C grade. 

Mrs Pascoe said the 

scores gave Marshland a 

podium finish over the 

weekend. 

“With the top four scores 

combined, the Marshland 

School team came in 

second overall as well – 

outstanding,” she said.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of dampness 

in your house 

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its 

way, home owners are focusing on ways to make 

their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for 

their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP 

is an issue that affects many of our older properties 

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In 

Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people 

have relocated to homes that suffer from rising 

damp which can be associated with health 

problems. Independent tests have shown that 

up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground 

and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, 

mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds 

can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, 

elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally 

owned and operated firm. The team understands 

the problems caused by rising damp and are there 

to help. They will come to your damp home and 

pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under 

your timber floored home. Specially adapted for 

our new Zealand conditions and applications 

it provides a layer of protection against rising 

moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at 

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, 

is that many owners of properties which had 

underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it 

also provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for 

your free, no obligation quote and complimentary 

appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. 

Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more 

information. 

smooth-air products 

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 

and 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.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


5 TIPS 

for optimal NutritioN 

The degree to which your body is 

nourished with optimal nutritional choices 

will have a profound effect on your overall 

health and wellbeing. It will influence your 

energy levels, your mental wellbeing, your 

ability to burn fat, and the strength of your 

immune system, among other things. 

One of the most outstanding figures in the 

history of medicine was the greek physician 

hippocrates. he sums up the importance of 

optimal nutrition choices in one line: “Let 

food be thy medicine and medicine be thy 

food.” 

With winter upon us, now is a great 

time to focus on increasing the number 

of positive choices when it comes to 

nourishing our bodies with great nutrition. 

Base yOur nuTrITIOnaL regIme 

arOund WhOLefOOds 

Think nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, 

pulses and meat. make choices in these food 

groups that are as close to the original food 

as possible. This helps ensure the vitamins, 

minerals and other nutrients 

are still intact. for example, raw almonds 

instead of roasted and/or salted ones. 

ChOOse OrganIC 

Organic farming places the utmost 

importance on caring for the soil because it 

forms the basis for health, for all life forms. 

healthy soil encourages disease-resistant 

plants, which then transfers to the animals 

and people who consume those plants. By 

choosing organic, you are opting for food 

that has been grown without the use of 

synthetic pesticides and without the routine 

use of antibiotics. 

drInk WaTer 

your body can survive a surprisingly long 

time without food, but it won’t last more 

than a few days without water. Optimal 

hydration is critical to ensure our muscles 

and nerves function properly, and even mild 

dehydration can lead to feelings of lethargy. 

how much 

to drink? The answer is quite simple – drink 

until your wee is clear or almost clear. That’s 

an easy way to measure whether you’re 

getting enough. 

Take TIme TO pLan and prepare 

fOr eaTIng WeLL 

It takes time and preparation to change your 

habits. schedule out time to write shopping 

lists, shop for food and prepare meals. plan 

to eat before you shop to minimise the 

chance of giving in to temptation foods – 

or shop online to minimise even further. 

make bulk meals to freeze for busy nights 

and set aside time to prepare a packed 

lunch the night before. keep useful kitchen 

items in easy-to-reach places – for example, 

put the blender on the bench rather than 

in the cupboard so that healthy smoothie 

preparation is quick and easy. 

Change OnLy One smaLL ThIng 

aT a TIme 

you may feel overwhelmed by wondering 

where to start improving your nutrition. 

make one small, achievable change and once 

that becomes a habit (something you can 

do without a major effort), then focus on 

something else. small changes are the key to 

success. for example, instead of saying “I’m 

only going to eat wholefoods from now on 

and forever,” instead make your target more 

realistic such as, “I’m going to increase to 

eating at least four different vegetables per 

day, on at least five days every week.” 

Chronic pain in one 

of your joints? 

Even if your joint is not in the best 

shape, a major part of the pain could 

be caused by the muscles surrounding 

the joint. 

At Physical Sense we have good results 

with releasing the muscles (with hands 

on techniques) and increasing your 

strength and flexibility. Within a few 

treatments you will know if this is 

what you need.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Olive Leaf Extract 

Nature’s Extraordinary Immune Support 

As fAr ago as 1927 Doctors used olive leaf 

to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. 

scientists have discovered olive leaf contains 

powerful nutrients that directly interfere and 

even destroy nearly every type of disease 

causing micro-organisms including bacteria, 

fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even 

yeast infections. As well as this olive leaf has 

immune enhancing benefits by activating 

immune cells that fight infection. for these 

reasons it has become a popular tonic herb 

that can be used to keep the immune system 

strong as well as when need to dramatically 

speed up recovery of conditions like colds 

and flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, 

shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections, 

and much more. It has also been found 

beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome, 

low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical 

diseases, two types of leukaemia and even 

some cancers. In many chronic health 

conditions the immune system is run down 

and it is easy to have complications that are 

often life threatening. Olive leaf may be a 

safe and very effective option to boost the 

immune system and allow the body to have 

more energy to help heal itself. 

Olive leaf has also been found to be 

an effective cardiovascular tonic helping 

normalise high blood pressure, improve 

cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat 

It Is well known how important omega-3 

fatty acids are to good health. It is 

estimated most people don’t even get a 

third of the recommended omega-3 fatty 

acids on a weekly basis. Countries with a 

higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet 

are known to have lower cardiovascular 

disease and, in many cases, better overall 

health. 

recent research has shown inflammation 

to be a big part of disease and the ageing 

process. 

fish oil can help reduce inflammation by 

providing essential fatty acids required 

by the body to heal itself and maintain 

good health. Until now most fish oil 

only contained omega-3 fatty acids in 

triglyceride form. fish, however, naturally 

contain omega-3 in triglyceride and 

phospholipid form but until recently the 

phospholipid form was lost due to the 

manufacturing process. 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new 

irregularities, and improve blood flow and 

vascular disorders. 

Olive leaf extract is so effective that too high 

a dose initially may make you feel worse. This 

is due to too many micro-organisms dying 

quicker than the body can process these dead 

organisms. This side effect can be minimized 

if you follow our protocol on dosage. Also 

drinking water and herbal teas especially 

raspberry leaf can be quite effective. further 

information on the amazing benefits of olive 

leaf and how it can be effectively used is 

available from our Medical Herbalist or our 

Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health 

& Natural Therapy, 110 seaview road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are Always 

Happy to Help! 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC 

standards in fish oil as it contains 

omega-3 attached to both triglycerides 

and phospholipids. studies have shown 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better 

absorbed, leading to increased levels of 

vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs 

through giving the potential for more 

health benefits. 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced 

from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish 

using a new advanced and more natural 

cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found 

in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP 

standards and is molecularly distilled to 

remove any containments, toxins and 

heavy metals.

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal! 

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good 

Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used! 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL! 

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally 

contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the 

manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with 

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS: 

• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as 

shown in research 

• Advanced new cold extraction better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile 

found in fish 

• Naturally contains phospholipids to 

support cellular health 

• Contains vitamin D3 to support immune, 

bone & cardiovascular health 

• Supports cardiovascular health - Countries with 

a higher Omega-3 intake have much lower rates 

of heart disease 

• Supports blood circulation, healthy cholesterol & 

healthy blood pressure 

• Supports joint health, joint mobility & repair 

• Supports overall health & wellbeing 

• Natural anti-inflammatory - can help reduce 

pain

MARKET UPDATE... 

The Redwood Team have just returned from 

our the National Harcourt’s Conference held in 

Auckland. There were some fantastic speakers 

and we have all come back with innovations to 

our business. We are very proud to be able to 

announce that at our annual awards evening, 

the Redwood Office was awarded Top National 

Office for Group One for the 2015-2016 year. 

This is a fabulous accomplishment for our small 

team, we have worked hard to attain this 

award and are very grateful to all of our clients 

for the support that has helped us to achieve this wonderful tribute. 

Redwood is also proud to be part of the success of the gold group 

which won the coveted top national franchise award. 

Mark O’Loughlin was ranked 9th Nationally, 9th Internationally and Top 

Exclusive Lister for the Harcourts group which is testament to his hard 

work and dedication to achieving exceptional results for his clients and 

his commitment to the apartment developments in the inner city. 

Our huge congratulations also goes to Belinda Dunster who was 

Canterbury’s Rising Star for the last financial year. 

This was a well-deserved award for an amazing first year in real estate. 

Belinda’s enthusiasm shines through and her clients love the energy 

she brings to each transaction. 

The whole Redwood team can take a bow and celebrate their success. 

Please contact us if you would like to work with

An oasis of pleasure and colour 

187 Sawyers Arms Road, Bishopdale 

Price: Price on application 

4 bedrooms |2 living areas |2 bathrooms |4-car garages | Listing Number: www.harveys.co.nz ID # 3430GT 

Our owner’s decision to downsize 

after 50 years on this magnificent 

home site offers established 

section lovers a rare opportunity 

to acquire and enjoy a piece of “North West 

residential history”. Once you come thru the 

double wrought iron gates, you realize that 

you will view a home that has been crafted 

together by a master builder, architect and 

homeowner to produce a home and garden 

setting. 

This must be one of the most interesting 

garden and home in the greater location. 

The original home has been faithfully 

maintained while the architecturally designed 

extension has been blended to continue the 

flow of originality with class and style. 

The four-bedroom wing is completed with 

its own two bathrooms, while the dining and 

two living rooms flow together to create sunny 

spaces for entertaining, resting and relaxation. 

Indoor and outdoor living is easy here, and 

coffee on the courtyard is a must. Prolific 

plantings with a vast selection of rhodos, 

camellias and specimen maples provide a 

blaze of colour in summer, although this 

1460m² section is a “four season garden” with 

colour throughout the year. 

The home is waiting to respond to the 

new owner’s expression of personality and 

preference in décor and furnishing. A setting 

that provides a four-car garage and garden 

shed, storage and off-street parking. 

Look! Dual access to the property may 

make subdivision a possibility. 

Further details from Gavin Topp on 

027 431 7470, or Gray Gong on
