Neighbours fume over BP
• By Andrew King
RESIDENTS ARE standing
up to one of the biggest petrol
companies in the world as it tries
to expand its Edgeware site.
BP Oil New Zealand owns BP
Edgeware and has applied for a
resource consent to expand its site
at the corner of Edgeware Rd and
Cranford St, adding another four
pumps and 22 more car parks.
To do so, it has bought two
properties north of the site to
expand into.
But residents on Cornwall St
are fuming at the proposal, saying
they weren’t consulted and it will
ruin the area.
One of opponents, Rob Hull,
said it was not what the area
needed and what the Edgeware
Village Master Plan set out to
achieve.
“Our main concern is that it is
completely counter to the district
plan and what was envisaged for
the future of the Edgeware village,”
he said.
The master plan aims to restore
the area as a thriving shopping
centre and community hub.
Another nearby resident,
Monique Posthuma, said all
they can do to battle a “big commercial
corporate entity” was to
“jump up and down”.
“Our biggest concern is it is
going into a residential area. It’s
going away from the plan. What
can we do?” she said.
BP Oil communications and
external affairs manager Shelley
Brady said the demand for service
in the area had increased.
She said improvements
needed to be made to keep up
with that demand and make sure
congestion does not become a
common problem.
“We have been following the
council approval process and
it’s ultimately their decision as
to what will and won’t be approved,”
she said.
City council head of resource
consents John Higgins said the
Edgeware master plan does not
cover the site where the expansion
is proposed.
“It’s important to note that a
master plan does not have the
same relevance when making
notification decisions,” he said.
“This is because the notification
decision focuses on adverse
effects, rather than the broader
planning assessment that is

required when a decision is being
made whether to grant the application

“Dangerous” intersection
• By Andrew King
AN intersection labelled as
“dangerous” by the community
will not be considered for an
upgrade, according to a recent
city council report.
Parents tell their children to
avoid the Breens, Gardiners
and Harewood rds intersection,
and nearby Breens Intermediate
regularly reminds pupils about
the risks of crossing it.
The Fendalton-Waimairi
Community Board requested
city council staff investigate the
intersection and report back to
it with solutions.
Staff reported back to the
board saying: “The multi-laned,
stop controlled intersection
does create some difficulties
for pedestrians trying to cross
Harewood Rd immediately at
the intersection, and there are
no cyclist facilities.
“However, there have been
no reported pedestrian or
cyclist crashes in the last
10 years. There are no current
plans for upgrading the intersection.”
More than 14,000 vehicles
pass through the intersection
every day.
Statistics released by the New
Zealand Transport Agency
NO UPGRADE: City council staff have recommended that a Harewood intersection does not
need to be upgraded.
show between 2011 and 2015
there were seven minor crashes
and four non-injury crashes at
the intersection.
There were no fatal or serious
injury crashes reported.
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board deputy chairman Aaron
Keown said the crash statistics
cannot be the determining factor
as to whether an intersection
is deemed dangerous.
“Under this current council,
we will need a fatality to trigger
an action, and that in my book
is unacceptable,” he said.
Mr Keown said an upgrade is
needed to put the residents and
parents minds at ease.
“It doesn’t take a rocket
scientist to work out that this
intersection will have a fatality
soon and we cannot wait for it
to happen,” he said.
The Fendalton-Waimairi
Community Board received the
report this week and deputy
chairman David Cartwright
said he will be asking some
“pretty big” questions around
what solutions city council
traffic staff can come up with.

In Brief
MERIVALE PROJECT
The Stronger Christchurch
Infrastructure Rebuild Team
has launched a six-month
project in Merivale to repair a
large wastewater pipe. SCIRT
started work yesterday at the
western end of Aikmans Rd
near Elmwood Normal School.
The work will continue for
about six weeks. The western
half of Aikmans Rd will
be open to one-way going
east towards Papanui Rd.
Commuters going west down
Aikmans will be detoured into
Akela St, Cox St, Sterling St
and Office Rd. This is the first
of the wastewater pipe’s four
repair stages.
OPTIONS DISCUSSED
The Shirley-Papanui
Community Board will meet
tomorrow to discuss a proposal
to make changes to Blighs Rd,
from Papanui Rd to Watford
St, to solve congestion and
safety issues. City council
staff provided the board with
two options. Option one is
to do nothing. Option two
is to remove parking along
the north side of Blighs Rd
from 181 Blighs Rd to the
intersection with Papanui Rd,
remove part of the kerb and
move the cycle lane further to
the left near the kerbside.

The role of community boards
Fendalton-
Waimairi
Community Board
deputy chairman
David Cartwright
writes this week’s
Soap Box about the role a
community board plays in
society and his time in local
body politics over the past
three years.
As we approach the local body
elections, I find myself having
many interesting and sometimes
challenging conversations with
friends, colleagues, and people
in the community regarding
the process and purpose of
community boards.
As with anything, the opinions
and level of understanding
around the role of community
boards covers the entire spectrum
from those who see just another
pointless layer of bureaucracy, to
those who are very supportive and
really value the community level
advocacy and decision-making the
boards can provide.
Often the strongest supporters
are those who have had some
kind of contact with the board,
perhaps through being involved
with a deputation, receiving a
grant for a community event,
or communicating with board
members regarding improvements
to local facilities or infrastructure.
At the heart of it, the success and
relevance of a community board
can be measured on its ability to
communicate with and advocate
for their community – that is our
purpose.
As I come to the end of my
second term on the Fendalton-
Waimairi Community Board, the
range of issues and events we are
involved in continues to excite and
motivate me.
The small things really do make
a difference when it comes to
improving wellbeing, safety, and
engagement at a community level.
Some of the highlights of
this term has been delivering
the new Burnside Park
fitness track, progressing the
replacement Bishopdale Library,
addressing car parking demands
at Jellie Park, and granting funds
to the talented youth of our ward
to attend local and international
sporting and cultural events.
Recently the board has heard
deputations on the intersection of
Gardiners and Harewood Rds and
looked at various short and longterm
solutions to address the ever
increasing traffic on our roads.
Other deputations have covered
issues such as the drying up of
our rivers and streams, increasing
quarrying and land use issues, and
the removal of problem trees on
health or safety grounds.
Of course, not all issues can
be solved at a community board
level, but board members can
elevate any issue with council staff,
request additional information,
and work to find an agreeable
outcome.
All of this means one of the
most important attributes of
an effective board member is
the ability to really listen and
communicate with residents, other
board members, city councillors
and city council staff.
So when you come to complete
your voting papers in October,
take the time to find out more
about the candidates, think about
the issues that matter to you
and your neighbours, and take a
pro-active approach to deciding
who will be your voice in the
community.

Waimairi Community Board

A reader responds to a recent article about a lack of
parking at the Northlands Shopping Centre, forcing
shoppers and staff to park in the surrounding streets of
Papanui, which is creating traffic issues.
P Stuart, Papanui
I would just like to add my
comments to your article about
Kathleen Crisley’s concerns
about all-day parking in the
side streets of Papanui. I agree
with all she has said. I would
like to add that Mary St residents
also suffer because the
street is so narrow. It is very
dangerous as far as traffic is
concerned. We have cars coming
from St Albans heading
north and cars taking shortcuts
off Papanui Rd through
the side streets. Now think
of the residents who want to
get out of their driveways at
peak times, which is almost
anytime. It is daunting to avoid
the traffic and to do a turn to
go either way as cars on the
opposite side are parked, with
4WD vehicles blocking your
exit view. If your property is
two houses away from the side
streets, you have to be aware of
them and it is all quite scary.
When we were notified twohour
parking was going to be
introduced, and were asked to
give views, I did so quite constructively.
Everything I suggested
went the complete opposite
direction. As a ratepayer
on this property for 56 years, I
object to my visitors having to
walk a distance because there
are no parks available close to
my home. I object to the fear
I have of being involved in a
crash. The school holidays and
Christmas are approaching so
the nightmare continues.

Apples
From the Garden of Eden to Abbey Road and Silicon
Valley, apples have been an enduring motif for our
cultural journey.
Like William Tell and Sir Isaac Newton before him,
Ashley Smith, in this show, uses apples to his own
ends.
Some samples from this tasty crop may very well
keep the doctor away - but, then again, there could
be something decidedly sinister under the skin of
that rosy red apple being offered.
Artist, Ashley Smith escaped into the wilds of
coastal North Canterbury over 30yrs ago and still
finds fascination in its rural myths and practices.
Canterbury’s often crazy weather patterns also
continue to influence his paintings ( and mental
juices).
Ashley’s subjects are rendered in a variety of styles
– many honed during extensive global meanderings.
During these he has worked for publishers in
Australia, England and America, studied batik in
Indonesia, been a member of the Stuttgard Art
Society and met his future wife in the 602 Club,
Madison Wisconsin!

In Brief
$2M RESTORATION
The historic Deans’ farm
buildings on the Christchurch
Boys’ High School site will be
repaired at a cost of more than
$2 million. The school will run
a major community fundraising
campaign after its insurance
payout fell $1 million short of
the restoration cost. The old
buildings are one of the last
remnants of the Deans’ family
farm. The buildings were badly
damaged in the February 22,
2011 earthquake.
FORFAR ST REPAIRS
Fletcher Construction is
currently undertaking
wastewater renewal work in
the St Albans and Mairehau

intersection of Condell and
Matsons Aves about 8.15am.
RATEPAYERS BUY HOMES
The city council may spend
about $2.5 million to buy seven

To date, none of the offers had
been accepted by the property
owners.

PARTNERSHIP: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School is teaming up with Crimson Consulting
which will be the first partnership of its kind between a school and a
commercial enterprise in New Zealand.
School forms partnership
RANGI RURU Girls’
School is teaming up with a
21-year-old entrepreneur’s
company to help students
into tertiary education.
Crimson Consulting,
the company set up by
then 18-year-old Jamie
Beaton, will be sending one
of its tutors to Rangi as a
full-time “career pathway
strategist”.
The young Harvard
graduate’s business was
valued at $60 million
earlier this year after
acquiring numerous
smaller educational
consultancies.
Mr Beaton started the
company in 2013 with his
girlfriend Shandre Kushor,
also 18 at the time, and
soon attracted investment
from US billionaires.
His share of the education
consultancy is now
worth $40.5 million.
Mr Beaton’s fellow
Harvard graduate Wen Qiu
will be joining the school as
part of a new partnership
between the college and the
company.
Rangi Ruru principal Dr
Sandra Hastie says this collaboration
is about assisting
students with career plans
and “connecting them with
information”.
It is the first partnership
of its kind between a school
and a commercial enterprise
in New Zealand.
Crimson Consulting is
best known for its mentoring
programmes aimed at
young people wishing to go
to top overseas universities
like Harvard and Cambridge.

Wine auction for chapel
ST ANDREW’S College will
auction off a former student’s
wine to raise money to help
build its new centennial
chapel.
A limited edition range of
China Girl pinot noir, produced
by Crown Range Cellar
in Queenstown, will go under
the hammer on Thursday at
Strowan House.
Crown Range Cellar chief
executive Jing Song, 29, said
the China Girl collection is
derived from grapes that were
hand-picked from a piece of
land known as Chinaman’s
Terrace, on Bendigo Hill,
Otago.
The grapes came from the
site of an early Chinese settlement.
“Since coming here from
China as a 12-year-old, I have
spent most of my life in the
Central Otago region and we
crafted China Girl pinot noir
as a testament to the historical
mining region and the many
Chinese who lived here, often
under harsh conditions, in
those times,” Ms Song said.
She said the auction is a way
of giving something back to
the school which set her on
course for a successful business
career as a wine producer
and entrepreneur.
Auction items on the evening
include four sets of six
750ml bottles of China Girl
pinot noir and six individually
cased, 1.5-litre magnums of
China Girl pinot noir. There’s
also one of only six limited
edition, nine-litre China Girl
pinot noir bottles, handlabelled
and signed by Sir
Michael Hill, Prime Minister
John Key, Mayor Lianne Dalziel
and St Andrew’s principal
Christine Leighton.
Get in touch with the school
for ticket information.

Old timber saves historic bridge
RECLAIMED Australian
hardwood timber is
breathing new life into one of
Christchurch’s oldest bridges.
Helmores Lane Bridge, the
city’s only surviving 19th-century
timber bridge, will live
longer with the help of timber
salvaged from two Waitaki
River bridges built in 1881.
Repairs will take about five
months before the bridge can
be opened to pedestrians and
cyclists.
Thirty bridge piles, made
of the Australian hardwood,
Jarrah, were brought from the
Waitaki District Council for
the cost of a donation.
It was a lot less expensive
than importing new hardwood
from Australia for the
earthquake repairs.
Using re-claimed timber fits
the conservation practice of
sourcing material as close as
possible to the original for the
repair and restoration of heritage
structures.
Helmores Lane Bridge is
listed with Heritage New Zealand
and is the only remaining
example of a propped-beam
timber bridge in Christchurch.
While the bridge has been
repaired and widened, about
80 per cent of the original timber
frame remains.
Stronger Christchurch
Infrastructure Rebuild Team
executive general manager Ian
Campbell said it was a challenging
project.
“You are trying to protect
an original structure and its
character, while providing the
protection of a modern structure,”
Mr Campbell said.
The original 17-metre long
bridge now requires new access
ways which will be about
five metres long at each end.

Former CBHS
student wins
US study award
• By Andrew King
A FORMER Christchurch Boys’
High School student has won
an award that will allow him
to travel to the United States to
continue his studies.
Ethan Thomson won a
Fulbright Science and Innovation
Graduate Award which
has opened a door for him to
research ground motion simulation
at Stanford University in
California.
He is currently studying towards
a PhD in earthquake engineering
at Canterbury University.
The awards are for promising
New Zealand graduate students
to undertake postgraduate study
or research in US institutions in
fields targeted to support growth
and innovation in New Zealand.
Ten awards were granted this
year, in partnership with the science
and innovation group of the
Ministry of Business, Innovation
and Employment.
Stanford University, located between
San Francisco and San Jose
in the heart of California’s Silicon
FULBRIGHT WINNER:
Ethan Thomson received
one of 10 awards that allows
New Zealander’s to head
overseas to further their
studies.
Valley, is one of the world’s
leading teaching and research
universities.
Since its opening in 1891,
Stanford has been dedicated
to finding solutions to big
challenges and to preparing
students for leadership in a
complex world.

Quiz trophy returns to Burnside
BURNSIDE HIGH School
classical studies students have
won the Logie Cup for the
second year in a row.
The Logie Cup is a classical
studies quiz that has been
running since 1999 and
competed in by high school
students.
Charlotte Gillingham, Sachin
Sakthivel, Sean Ward and Evan
Wills made up the Burnside
team who competed and beat
secondary schools from all
around the South Island.
The questions require general
classics knowledge.
Some are easy, others are
challenging, but usually a team
of four can come up with an
answer.
Burnside classics head of
department Gina Fernandez
said she was extremely proud of
her students winning the cup
for the second year in a row.
“They worked so well together.
Winning it for the second year
in a row is a huge achievement
also, they have done so well,”
she said.
The questions are based off
what has been taught throughout
the year in their classes,
Burnside was studying Alexander
the Great and his conquest
of the Persian Empire.

Challenging children
JUNIOR PUPILS at Wairakei
School participate once a week
in a multi-level sports
programme catering for different
needs through a variety of
activities.
While the year 5 and 6 pupils
head off for their inter-school
winter sports tournament on
Friday afternoons, the year 1 to
4 pupils get outside and take on
many different challenges.
Generally, the year 1 children
participate in the school’s
perceptual motor programme,
which teaches them some of the
most basic elements of sport.
The others are mixed into
different groups and have skillbased
lessons and other physical
activity to encourage wellness.
Principal Shane Buckner said
it is so great seeing the older
children supporting the younger
ones.
“It is absolutely brilliant to
have the parents come along and
support the teachers by providing
extra supervision and assistance,”
he said.
Getting to grips with gym gear
BOUNCING ON trampolines
and learning forward rolls
were just two of the activities
Cotswold School pupils got into
at the Christchurch School of
Gymnastics.
The junior school pupils put
the skills they have been learning
at school into practice and after
a jazzy warm up, pupils were
separated into different stations
around the gym.
They used the big trampolines,
the rings and bars, the beams, and
the forward roll mats.
Eight-year-old Lewis Ashby said
it was great to learn new things.
“We learnt new things on the
beam like backwards dips, bunny
hops and even ribbon throws,” he
said.
Seven-year-old Jayden White
said he enjoyed flipping around
the bar.
A highlight for the year 3
pupils was watching a one of
the instructors demonstrate
his fancy flips on one of the big
trampolines.
Even some of the teachers gave
it a go – showing the kids their
attempts at trampolining too.

FANCY FEET: Seyara de Silva performed a dance for

St Joseph’s School’s annual talent
quest showcased some of the
pupils’ best acts and thrilled the
audience. All pupils from years
1-8 had the opportunity to enter
the talent quest. There was a
preliminary round held to choose
the acts worthy of being included
in the finals. On the night, there
was singing, dancing, musical acts
and pupils dressed up as their
favourite Star Wars characters.
It is organised and run by senior
students who were also involved in
the judging. Principal Mark Gregory
said it was a great event for the
school. “A gold coin donation from
the audience ensured funds raised

didn’t slow entrants as they put
on their best fancy dress and
lined up to compete in the UC
Education Mud Run.
The 5km event involved more
than 1000 students and teachers
from 35 schools all across
Christchurch, and from as far
afield as Mt Hutt, Timaru and
Cheviot.
Papanui High School had success
in the best dressed category
and the non-competitive short
team boys’ category.
It was started after the
February 22, 2011, earthquakes
to give people a chance to think
about something different, if
only for the duration of the
course.
Although the temperature
stayed below 10 deg C, the day
was full of excitement and energy,
and spectacular costumes
worn by the runners.
Sport Canterbury event
manager Lucy Ryan said this
year will be remembered for the
calibre of costumes, which are
known for getting “better and
better each year.”
The event has grown from its
start of 200 entries to more than
1000 people lining up to have a
go. •More sport page 18

Isabella Garbett
Giving young people a voice
St Andrew’s College student Isabella Garbett, 17, was
recognised at the Canterbury Youth Awards for helping give
young people a voice. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-
Harding about engaging with the youth of the city, her views
on gender inequality and the time she spends feeding the
homeless every Sunday.
How does it feel to have
been awarded the Advocate
Inclusion and Diversity Award
at the Canterbury Youth
Awards last week?
I was quite surprised. Aside
from that, I am so incredibly
humbled because the people I
was up against do some incredible
things. So good, but at the
same time I wish everyone could
be recognised for the awesome
things they have done.
This award is about ensuring
young people have a voice.
Could you tell me about some
of the things you do to ensure
this happens in the city?
Primarily what I do outside of
school is volunteer for New Zealand
Red Cross project, Bounce.
It came about after the earthquake
and it is centred around
creating a space for young people
to talk about well-being and
gearing them up with some tips
to deal with tough times. It is
run by young people for young
people. I came in when they were
starting to re-brand. It is about
finding ways to engage people. A
lot of people don’t want to read a
text book. It’s targeted at people
aged 12-24. In school, I am also
the head of community service,
the sustainability council, the
student council and head of
debating.
But that’s not all you are doing.
Are you an advocate for
women’s rights as well?
Most things I do with a feminist
lens. There is a real trend
with year 9-11 students where
they are quite apathetic to a lot of
women’s issues. (Men and women)
might be equal in the eyes of
the law, but we are not equal in
the eyes of society. It is important
to me when that younger
generation comes through that
they don’t forget about where we
have come from and we have a
good appreciation of women and
their places in society. But feminism
isn’t just about women – it
affects men, too.
What did you think of the
whole Hornby High School
skirt debacle last week?
That is just another classic
example of ridiculous doublestandards.
Because when you
tell girls that they need to wear
longer skirts because they are
distracting male teachers or male
students, you are telling a boy
he is more entitled to education
than a girl is – and that is just not
the case. A lot of the time people
don’t think about what they are
saying and how it translates. I
know the school’s response was
that it was not what they were
quite trying to say, but as soon as
you start saying those messages
it is really harmful.
Is there inequality in the city?
Yes, it is not horrific, but New
Zealand on a whole has quite
an interesting culture in terms
of gender inequality. Even with
young boys and the messages
we give them – that they have
got to be strong, don’t cry – that
is harmful. It is about ensuring
both genders are given equal
opportunity. We have horrendous
domestic violence, rape,
sexual violence. We have got bad
suicide stats in New Zealand as
a whole.
And you have made a major
contribution to the homeless?
Our school has a relationship
with this taxi driver called
Daniel, who runs a feeding the
homeless thing every Sunday at
Latimer Square. I started doing
that in year 10. I like to give back
when I can. Over time I have
built up some cool relationships
HIGH ACHIEVER: Isabella Garbett was recently recognised at the Canterbury Youth Awards.

with the people (involved).
Being able to understand why
the homeless are where they
are, and what is going on in
their lives, is like building a
friendship.
Tell me about some of the
most interesting people you
have met?
I met someone the other day
who has been out of prison for
five years. He is now working
with more recently released
prisoners to help them deal with
getting out of prison. There was
another guy, I’m not sure what
his background was, but he
sleeps on the street. He is one of
the nicest people I have ever met.
He keeps the order (in Latimer
Square), makes sure everyone
stands in a line and the kids get
fed first. He is the last to come
up and that is really humbling
to see.
What is it like seeing people
your own age and even younger
in that situation?
It breaks my heart. I do the
things I do because I have an
education and opportunity,
which means I will be able to go
somewhere. It is people like that
who keep me in check.
You are in your last year of
school. What do you want to do
next year?
I want to go to Victoria University
of Wellington. I want
to do a law degree and major
in gender studies and history and
do a Bachelor of Arts.
What is your big dream?
I want to end up running an
aid organisation. I want to focus
on women’s issues. I would love
to do something in first-world
countries in the lower-social
economic areas. Then, after that,
I want to go to Africa. I have got
a teacher who taught in Uganda.
I would love to do something
like that. It is going to be a lot
of work, but hopefully I am in a
situation raising the awareness of
people who are in the positions
of power. Also enabling those
who aren’t in power to get to
where they want to be.
Do you have any other
hobbies in your spare time?
I play four instruments and
I sing. Violin, piano, guitar
and viola. I love playing in the
school orchestra. Aside from
that, I hang out with my friends.
I would not be anywhere near
where I am today if it was not
for my friends and family. I am
really lucky to have people who
challenge me to think more
critically. I have two younger
brothers and my grandmother
also lives with us. I love them
dearly.

Research Supports
Eye Health
NutritioNal researchers have
discovered a range of nutrients that are
essential for eye health. some of the most
essential nutrients that have been shown to
protect and even improve eye function are:
selenium, is a trace mineral that is low
in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our
foods. researchers believe selenium may
help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration
(the leading cause of impaired vision in older
people) and may also improve dry eyes and
general eye health.
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage
of the population are low in. Zinc has been
shown to help protect the eyes from the
damaging effects of light as well as slow
vision loss due to macular degeneration.
Vitamin c, citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene
(Pro-vitamin a) and copper have
potent antioxidant ability and help protect
the eyes from damage
lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing
nutrients that have been shown in landmark
research to not only provide potent eye
protection but may even help reverse
some of the signs of age-related macular
degeneration (aMD).
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent
antioxidants may help protect the lens and
retina from damage and reduce the risk
of cataracts. They also may help improve
blood supply to the eye, strengthen the small
capillaries of the eye and may help improve
night vision, may alleviate many eye ailments
including eye fatigue that may be caused by
reading, driving and computers.
eyebright may help normalise eye pressure
and reduce eye allergies.
taurine is an amino acid that is essential
for correct eye function. it may also have a
detoxifying affect on the eye.
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.
it provides many nutrients, is rich in
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (oPc’s) that
are potent antioxidants that may protect
eyesight.
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic
amount should provide comprehensive eye
protection, may slow and possibly even help
reverse eye damage that could lead to loss
of vision. all these nutrients are available
in an economical one a day easy to swallow
capsule.

Co-Q10 Reduces all causes
of Mortality by 50%
researchers Were amazed with the
results of how beneficial a natural nutrient
coenzyme- Q10 (coQ10) is to the human
body. co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in
the body’s cells that is essential for cell
function, energy and survival. The heart,
liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large
amounts of co-Q10 to function well.
in a recent multi country double blind
trial on the possible benefits of coQ10 to
protect against heart failure, 420 patients
with severe heart failure were given
coQ10 or a placebo and then followed for
2 years. it was found to the amazement of
the researchers the patients who received

the co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an
adverse cardiovascular event or death
compared to the placebo patients. Not
only this but the patients on the coQ10
had a 50% reduction in death not only
from cardiovascular events but from all
causes.
according to lead study author
Professor Mortensen this study is the first
in over a decade to show a natural nutrient
can reduce heart failure mortality and
coQ10 should be added as a standard
treatment for anyone with cardiovascular
complaints. it is known that coQ10 levels
decrease in the heart muscle of patients
with heart failure as severity worsens.
statin drugs are used to treat many
patients with cardiovascular problems
but these drugs also reduce coQ10
levels further in the body. symptoms
of low coQ10 in the body can be low
energy and endurance, muscle pain,
poor memory, concentration and poor
heart function or heart failure.
coQ10 levels are known to decrease
as we age and many researchers
believe keeping our levels up of this
vital nutrient may help prevent many
chronic diseases including cancer.
co-Q10 is available as a natural
supplement to support good health.

Co-Q10 Vital for Good Health
Co-Q10 is a nutrient that is absolutely vital to every cell to perform its function & live. It is
essential for energy production, muscle function & required in sufficient amounts for the
heart to keep beating. A deficiency will affect all organs & sufficient Co-Q10 is considered an
important factor in reducing the chances of chronic disease & reduced life expectancy. Co-
Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient & its absorption is enhanced when it is in a base of fatty acids.
This formula contains 150mg of naturally fermented Co-Q10 in a special blend of fatty acids
(Fish, Flaxseed & EP Oils) to enhance the absorption.
Co-Q10 Supports:
• Cardiovascular health
• Blood circulation
• Healthy blood pressure
• Energy & endurance

Winter Warmer - Hot tips
for cold weather
Does that nip in the air make it hard
to get moving? What better way to warm
yourself than getting the blood pumping to
warm up on the inside.
The less active we are, the more we feel the
cold. But it’s easy to warm hands and feet by
working muscles and joints while staying dry
and warm in front of tV.
The aircycle exerciser is an indoor warmer
which gets your circulation going in no time.
The movement is a gentle awakening for
sleepy muscles and joints, warms and loosens
them to ease them into action.
tight, cold muscles mean decreased
mobility and are more prone to injury.
imagine putting a rubber band in the freezer
and then trying to stretch it over a large box.
it snaps. But warm the rubber band slowly
and it will stretch to take the force of your
pull. That band is like your muscles in winter.
it is unnecessary to use the aircycle for
lengthy periods. short, frequent spells
throughout the day and evening are most
effective. a few minutes while sitting with
a coffee or chatting on the phone will keep
blood circulating and feet and hands warm.
a good warm up keeps the body running
like a well oiled machine. Mrs spier wrote, “i
have arthritis and joint problems. When i’ve
been using the aircycle i feel as though i’ve
had a good lube. My joints are more flexible
and i can garden more easily.”

rISINg DAMP is an issue that affects many of
our older properties which suffer from poor, or
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,
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.

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.

Pasifika engineer
reboots Plan A
Pasifika students are slowly
gravitating towards engineering. Third year
Bachelor of engineering technology student
at ara institute of technology, Richard Ofa,
urges them to think long term.
Richard is motivated. He has worked at a
semi-skilled level. after graduating from an
it qualification at ara (then CPit), he took
a temporary job as a CnC machine operator
at skOPe. The money was good at the time,
but several years later he was still in the same
position.
Richard took stock and realised he wanted
to be an engineer, designing the products
that he had been assembling at skOPe. He
needed an engineering qualification.
The ara three year engineering degree
offered evening classes, which allowed
Richard to continue working. “i have
a responsibility to my family and the
community, so not working isn’t an option,”
he says.
Richard negotiated to work part time at
skOPe and launched into his engineering
studies. “Coming back to study, working with
computers, doing 3d modelling, it’s what i
have always wanted to do.
“i love problem solving, being creative and
coming up with new ideas. for my third year
project, skOPe gave me a project to work
on. it’s a sliding door design, a new design. i
am quietly confident it will work out.”
The degree will certainly open doors for
Richard. “i am hoping to get a full time
design job with skOPe when i graduate.
My long term plan is project management
– i will probably come back and do some
project management papers at ara in five to
10 years’ time when i have some experience.
“My family are happy, in that island
way, now they can see the value of the
qualification.
Meanwhile, Richard is seeing more
Pasifika students in engineering. “The first
year i was the only fulltime Pasifika student,
but numbers have increased in the last
two years, including the number of female
Pasifika engineering students.
“The biggest challenge is managing the
workload of studying and working. i work
three days a week and study full time, so i
look forward to a sleep-in on the weekend,”
he says.

Heavyweight
luncheon
HEAVYWEIGHT
champion boxer Joseph
Parker and trainer Kevin
Barry are special guests at a
lunch taking place at
Addington Raceway &
Events Centre on Friday, 15
July 2016.
Kevin Barry, a light
heavyweight boxing silver
medallist at the 1984
Olympics, took on Joseph
Parker's training after being
headhunted by Duco Events
three years ago. Kevin quickly became a mentor, father figure and friend to the then
“young, shy quiet boy”.
This is your chance to listen to Kevin Barry and ask questions of IBF World
Heavyweight Mandatory Challenger Joseph Parker. Fresh off his gruelling 12 round win
against Frenchman Carlos Takam, Parker is coming to Christchurch to fight Australian
Solomon Haumono in preparation for his IBF World Title fight and in doing so, will put
his IBF Title shot on the line.
Lunch includes two courses and beverages with master of ceremony Gary
McCormick. Pre-lunch drinks are from 11.30am with lunch served at 12noon.
To secure your table call Joanne McMaster now on 339 7908 as seats are limited.
