Bid to open liquor store opposed<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FEARS A proposed liquor store<br />
in Harewood could encourage<br />
an increase of people drinking<br />
in public parks has community<br />
leaders and residents rallying to<br />
stop it.<br />
The proposed liquor store<br />
would be built on the corner of<br />
Harewood Rd and Trafford St<br />
but resident Aaron Bree said it<br />
will bring more problems than it<br />
is worth.<br />
“We have a number of parks<br />
near it, it is right in the heart<br />
opening<br />
soon!<br />

of a residential area and there<br />
are schools all around it. I have<br />
spoken to some in the neighbourhood<br />
and we don’t want it,”<br />
he said.<br />
There are four schools within<br />
2km and seven parks within a<br />
1.5km radius.<br />
Nunweek Park, 500m from<br />
the proposed site, is a known<br />
hangout for people drinking and<br />
Mr Bree fears that will only get<br />
worse with another outlet.<br />
He said if it had been there<br />
when he was looking to buy his<br />
house he would have looked elsewhere,<br />
so he is starting a petition<br />
to block the licence from being<br />
granted.<br />
The off-licence that has been<br />
applied for would be for 2a Trafford<br />
St to sell alcohol between<br />
the hours of 7am-10pm, Monday<br />
to Sunday.<br />
Police said a decision on<br />
whether they will oppose it will<br />
be made next week.<br />
Aaron Keown, who was recently<br />
elected as a city councillor<br />
in the Harewood Ward, said the<br />
area is already “well serviced”<br />
when it comes to alcohol stores.<br />
“We should be giving the<br />
power of a veto to the residents<br />
and the community boards to<br />
stop these stores going into areas<br />
that clearly don’t need them,” he<br />
said.<br />
He said giving the boards<br />
“some teeth” could be written<br />
into the Local Alcohol Plan.<br />
Breens Intermediate principal<br />
Nikki Clarke said she was<br />
surprised to hear about a<br />
proposal for a liquor licence in<br />
the area.<br />
“Given there are five licensed<br />
premises already within<br />
1km of this address I will be<br />
very interested to watch the<br />
community response around<br />
this proposal,” she said.<br />
Linda Chen, who was<br />
recently elected onto the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board, lives close to<br />
Nunweek Park and said she was<br />
against the idea as soon as she<br />
heard it.<br />

I’m afraid I’m going to doing a<br />
bit of rant referring to “back in<br />
the day”. It appears that residents<br />
are going to try and stop a bottle<br />
shop going in on the corner of<br />
Harewood Rd and Trafford St<br />
(front page). I commend them<br />
because, back in the day folks,<br />
we survived not having booze in<br />
every supermarket and at every<br />
suburban shopping area. Alcohol<br />
is far more accessible that it used<br />
to be and I need not bend your ear<br />
about how harmful it can be. It<br />
will be interesting to see who wins<br />
the war.<br />
Fantastic to the heritage items<br />
such as gargoyles being reincorporated<br />
into St Andrew’s College new<br />
$10 million Centennial Chapel.<br />
The chapel was earthquake-damaged<br />
and services have been held<br />
in its gymnasium since. The new<br />
chapel that will have 700 seats and<br />
great acoustics for musical performances.<br />

Pigeon problem continues<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
RESIDENTS IN Northwood<br />
are at their wits’ end with<br />
problematic pigeons pooping on<br />
their properties.<br />
In November, Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />
reported that Giles Goulden and<br />
Suzanne Walker asked the city<br />
council if there was anything it<br />
could do about their neighbour’s<br />
80 pigeons in Janal Pl – which<br />
had been defecating on their<br />
outdoor furniture, deck and<br />
laundry.<br />
But the owner of the property<br />
with the pigeons said there<br />
are no laws around having too<br />
many and the neighbours need<br />
to “mind their own business.”<br />
Mr Goulden and Ms Walker<br />
moved into their Northwood<br />
home in 2014 when the neighbour<br />
had only a few birds in a<br />
small coop.<br />
The city council worked with<br />
the owner of the pigeons and<br />
their neighbours and negotiated<br />
most of the birds to be moved<br />
elsewhere.<br />
The negotiation took place in<br />
April with ongoing contact until<br />
June when it was confirmed the<br />
numbers had reduced significantly.<br />
But Ms Walker said some still<br />
remain and now the numbers<br />
are starting to grow.<br />
“They have removed two<br />
coops but a third remains and<br />
while pigeon numbers had<br />
dropped from about 80 to 20,<br />
they are slowly on the rise<br />
again,” she said.<br />
Recently, another neighbour<br />
contacted Ms Walker and said<br />
she was at “breaking point” and<br />
about to phone the city council<br />
and “just scream.”<br />
She said it was “completely<br />
unacceptable that our kids can<br />
no longer play outside” due<br />
to the mess left behind by the<br />
birds.<br />
The owner of the pigeons,<br />
who did not want to be named,<br />
said they still had some on the<br />
property, but the majority were<br />
elsewhere.<br />
“They are the worst neighbour’s<br />
I have ever had,” he said.<br />
He said she had been complaining<br />
about everything, even<br />
a bit of rubbish on the side of<br />
the road that had blown out of<br />
his bin.<br />
“We don’t even answer the<br />
door when (Ms Walker) turns<br />
up, sometimes it is really late at<br />
night,” he said.<br />
Ms Walker confirmed she<br />
had been over once late at night<br />
to return some rubbish she<br />
HAD ENOUGH: Suzanne Walker is tired of cleaning pigeon<br />
droppings off her property. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
had found from his bins on the<br />
street.<br />
City council head of regulatory<br />
compliance Tracey Weston<br />
confirmed there is no specific<br />
rules or bylaws regarding the<br />
keeping of pigeons in the city.<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY: Should<br />
there be a limit on how<br />
many pigeons can be kept<br />
in the city?<br />

In Brief<br />
CONSULTATION OPEN<br />
The city council has opened consultation<br />
on safety improvements for<br />
pedestrians and cyclists on Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd, between Glasnevin Dr<br />
and Cotswold Ave. It proposes to<br />
install a traffic signal-controlled pedestrian<br />
crossing. To improve safety<br />
for cyclists, cycle lanes are proposed<br />
on both sides of the road within the<br />
project area. As part of the safety<br />
improvements, the bus stop on the<br />
south-side of Sawyers Arms Rd will<br />
be relocated east of the pedestrian<br />
crossing outside 295 and 297 Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd, which will result in<br />
the loss of three parking spaces.<br />

say’ page to make a submission.<br />
ROUNDABOUT REMOVED<br />
The upgrade of the Westminster<br />
St, Roosevelt Ave and Courtenay St<br />
intersection has been completed and<br />
the roads around it are now open.<br />
SCIRT removed the roundabout<br />
and replaced it with an intersection.<br />
The SCIRT project took about three<br />
months.<br />
FIRST COUNCIL MEETING<br />
The inaugural city council meeting<br />
will be held on Thursday at 4pm.<br />
Recently elected city councillors<br />
Mike Davidson (Papanui), Aaron<br />
Keown (Harewood), Raf Manji<br />
(Waimairi), Pauline Cotter (Innes)<br />
and Jamie Gough (Fendalton) will<br />

Keown’s time to act<br />
Each week we<br />
will be asking<br />
city councillors in<br />
the north-west to<br />
give us their views<br />
on issues in their<br />
wards. This week, newly<br />
elected Harewood city<br />
councillor Aaron Keown<br />
talks about being elected<br />
and what he intends to do<br />
over the next three years<br />
It’s great to be back at the council<br />
table during this important time<br />
in the history of Christchurch<br />
and I’m honoured to be the<br />
first councillor for the newly<br />
established Harewood Ward.<br />
The city has voted and all those<br />
who now sit at the council table<br />
have been put there by those<br />
who have chosen to take up their<br />
democratic right and vote.<br />
I campaigned hard on the<br />
issue of getting traffic lights at<br />
the intersection on Harewood/<br />
Breens/Gardiners Rds, keeping<br />
rates locked to the rate of<br />
inflation and cleaning up our<br />
waterways.<br />
Now it’s time to deliver on<br />
my promises, which can be<br />
easier said than done, so I<br />
was excited when I met newly<br />
elected community board<br />
PRIORITY: Aaron Keown campaigned on getting traffic lights<br />
at the intersection of Harewood, Breens and Gardiners Rds.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
member Linda Chen (Harewood<br />
Ward) and the first thing she said<br />
to me was “Now lets get on and<br />
get those lights in.”<br />
This is the sort of ‘can do’<br />
attitude we need in Christchurch<br />
right now.<br />
I was even more buoyed by a<br />
bright future for Christchurch<br />
when we met as a new city<br />
council the day after the election,<br />
and all members laid out their<br />
visions for Christchurch over the<br />
next three years and it turns out<br />
we are all on the same page.<br />
As mayor, Lianne Dalziel<br />
looked to encourage everyone to<br />
support each other in getting the<br />
job done.<br />
I feel that Christchurch is<br />
about to see some real progress<br />
over the next three years.<br />
I respect the wishes of those<br />
who voted and I look forward<br />
to working with and supporting<br />
those who were lucky enough to<br />
be chosen.<br />

Stay in the kitchen<br />
when cooking<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
HOW LONG does it take for 10<br />
litres or more of water in a large<br />
saucepan to boil away and then<br />
the pan to melt from the heat (in<br />
this case a gas cooker) and set<br />
fire to the building?<br />
Well in the case of a house in<br />
Stanley St, Sydenham, last Friday<br />
night it took eight hours.<br />
That’s the time between the<br />
occupant forgetting the pan was<br />
on and leaving and the place being<br />
fully involved in fire.<br />
Five fire trucks and a command<br />
unit attended and, as<br />
you would expect, damage was<br />
severe.<br />
This has to be counted as a<br />
cooking fire. There were two<br />
more reported this week. One of<br />
them involved someone being<br />
taken to hospital with smoke<br />
inhalation.<br />
It also appears this victim may<br />
have had two or three drinks<br />
too many. There are some classic<br />
recipes for disaster in the above<br />
incidents.<br />
The first is relatively common<br />
but doesn’t always mean a house<br />
is completely destroyed.<br />
The second is also quite common,<br />
particularly amongst our<br />

Don’t drink and fry! And<br />

Should be simple.<br />
There was a smile to be had<br />
after Woolston’s crew were sent<br />
to Truscotts Rd up the Heathcote<br />
Valley on Monday to rescue<br />
some ducklings from a drain.<br />
A thorough search failed to<br />
find them.<br />
The radio message back to<br />
comms stated ‘no sign of ducklings,<br />
we may have been sent on<br />

Chapel to open next week<br />
READY TO<br />
GO: The<br />
$10 million<br />
Centennial<br />
Chapel will<br />
open at St<br />
Andrew’s<br />
College on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 25. <br />
ST ANDREW’S College<br />
much-loved gargoyles will<br />
return when its new $10 million<br />
Centennial Chapel opens on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 25.<br />
Since the February 2011 earthquakes<br />
the school has held chapel<br />
services in its gymnasium after<br />
losing its Memorial Chapel to<br />
damage.<br />
Heritage items salvaged from<br />
the original chapel have been<br />
incorporated into the new<br />
design, including the stained<br />
glass windows, original doors,<br />
stonework and the much-loved<br />
gargoyles.<br />
The bell is back hanging from<br />
a new bell tower, which has been<br />
placed in the exact location of the<br />
original tower.<br />
The chapel was designed by<br />
award-winning architect Patrick<br />
Clifford of Architectus, it seats<br />
700 and has state-of-the-art<br />
acoustics making it a desirable<br />
venue for musical performances.<br />
Performances from the kapa<br />
haka group, choir, and singers<br />
Mark Tavendale and Joshua Pike<br />
will welcome the community and<br />
the school to their new space.<br />
The building will be officially<br />
opened by the Moderator of<br />
the Presbyterian Church Right<br />
Reverend Andrew Norton.<br />
Architectus won a design competition<br />
to deliver the project and<br />
the chapel’s unique design has attracted<br />
national interest from<br />
architects and engineers due to<br />
its complexity.<br />
The intricate steel structure<br />
involved 150 tonnes of steel and<br />
innovative engineering solutions<br />
by Holmes Consulting.<br />
The folded roof reflects<br />
Christchurch’s Gothic heritage.<br />
Extensive groundwork was<br />
undertaken on the site with 512<br />
rammed aggregate piers installed<br />
in the ground.<br />
It will be home to The Village<br />
Presbyterian Church (St<br />
Stephen’s and St Giles’ parishes)<br />
on Sunday mornings and use<br />
for community events will be<br />
welcomed.<br />
A fundraising effort by the<br />
community raised $3.5m of the<br />
target of $6m.<br />
The dedication of the<br />
Centennial Chapel will be livestreamed<br />
at www.stac100.co.nz<br />
from 10.30am on <strong>October</strong> 25.<br />
The school welcomes people to<br />
go along and tour the new chapel<br />
at the open days on <strong>October</strong> 27,<br />
28 and 29, from 11am–1pm.<br />
In Brief<br />
FIRST MEETINGS<br />
The newly formed community<br />
boards in the north-west will<br />
have their first meetings at<br />
the end of this month. The<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board’s inaugural meeting will<br />
be on Wednesday, <strong>October</strong><br />
26 at 1.30pm in the Papanui<br />
Service Centre on the cnr of<br />
Langdons Rd and Restell St. The<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board’s inaugural<br />
meeting will be on Tuesday,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 25 at 3.30pm in the<br />
Fendalton Service Centre on the<br />
cnr of Jeffreys and Clyde Rds.<br />
The public are invited to attend.<br />
ROAD CLOSURES<br />
Fortune St, Mairehau, will be<br />
closed for the next two weeks<br />
between the hours of 7am and<br />
6pm so repairs can be made to<br />
the wastewater system. The work<br />
will generate some low volume<br />
noise. If driveway access will be<br />
restricted, a note will be left in<br />
the affected property’s letterbox<br />
the day before. Berwick St, St<br />
Albans, will be closed between<br />
property number 37 and<br />
Forfar St for the next two days.<br />
Marshland Rd’s south-bound<br />
lane between Hercules St and<br />
New Brighton Rd will be closed<br />
for the next two days so a waste<br />
water vacuum and tank system<br />
can be installed. These works<br />
are weather dependent and may<br />
extend past Thursday. All work<br />
will be done between the hours<br />
of 8pm and 6am.<br />
NO E. COLI IN WATER<br />
Fine sand is the likely cause<br />
for water discolouration in the<br />
Avonhead-Russley area. Samples<br />
of the water taken from the<br />
area have tested negative for E.<br />
coli. The water was tested as a<br />
precautionary measure after<br />
some residents in the Avonhead-<br />
Russley area complained their<br />
tap water was discoloured. The<br />
city council responded quickly<br />
to the reports, flushing the<br />
network and shutting down<br />
the relevant pump station. Test<br />
results showed no signs of E. coli<br />
in the water.<br />
BURST WATER PIPE<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />
was closed on Thursday and<br />
students sent home after a<br />
burst water main disrupted the<br />
school’s water supply. The pipe<br />
on Kilmarnock St in Riccarton<br />
burst in the morning. The city<br />
council investigated the cause<br />
of the burst. It was one of four,<br />
all in Riccarton, to break.<br />
Two ruptures were found on<br />
Kilmarnock St, one on Bartlett<br />
St and another on Ayr St. All<br />
were thought to be connected<br />
to the same pump station and<br />
repairs were completed the same<br />
day.<br />

Bid to beat the bumps<br />
No airport access<br />
from Wairakei Rd<br />
ACCESS TO the airport<br />
from Wairakei Rd has been<br />
permanently closed as part of the<br />
Russley Rd upgrade project.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency closed the road on<br />
Thursday night.<br />
The change at Wairakei Rd is<br />
necessary for safety, given the<br />
proximity of the intersection to<br />
the Russley Rd and Memorial<br />
Ave airport interchange lanes.<br />
Motorists will still be able to<br />
exit Wairakei Rd onto Russley<br />
Rd from the east, heading<br />
towards the Memorial Ave intersection.<br />
Motorists on Russley Rd heading<br />
south towards the airport<br />
will also be able to turn left onto<br />
Wairakei Rd.<br />
There will be no direct access<br />
to the airport precinct area and<br />
Orchard Rd from Wairakei Rd.<br />
The Harewood Rd roundabout<br />
is now completed and the underpass<br />
shared path for cyclists and<br />
pedestrians is completed and is<br />
in use.<br />
Removing traffic islands<br />
and the roundabout at the<br />
Wairakei Rd intersection with<br />
Russley Rd is likely to take place<br />
at weekends and off-peak hours<br />
in <strong>October</strong>.<br />
The roundabout is likely to be<br />
reduced to one lane during this<br />
time.<br />
PARTS OF Bealey Ave will be<br />
fixed this summer as a major<br />
project in city council’s $176<br />
million, city-wide road resealing<br />
programme.<br />
The 10-year road resealing<br />
programme is part of a wider<br />
city council strategy of ongoing<br />
repairs and maintenance to<br />
roads, underground pipes and<br />
footpaths.<br />
A number of key city roads<br />
are scheduled to be smoothed<br />
and resealed this financial year,<br />
including Bealey Ave from<br />
Papanui Rd to Barbadoes St on<br />
the north side and Colombo St<br />
to Barbadoes St on the south.<br />
City council’s services general<br />
manager David Adamson said<br />
it has prepared a programme of<br />
road, footpath and pipe repairs<br />
to follow the work of SCIRT.<br />
Funding has been allocated for<br />
the work and will be carried out<br />
over coming years starting in<br />
early 2017.<br />
“SCIRT has done a fantastic<br />
job to finish the rebuild work<br />
it was tasked with . . . now the<br />
city council is ready to pick up<br />
the mantle and carry out the<br />
remaining work as part of our<br />
ongoing maintenance renewal<br />
programmes.”<br />
REPAIR NEEDED: A number of key city roads are scheduled<br />
to be smoothed and resealed, including Bealey Ave from<br />

Childcare centre opening<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A NEW childhood centre will<br />
open on Wairakei Rd beside a<br />
primary school.<br />
The Little Wonders Early<br />
Childhood Centre will open<br />
its doors in June 2017 and<br />
will work with its neighbour,<br />
Wairakei School, to provide a<br />
pathway for pupils.<br />
Managing director Ben Hurst<br />
said the first Christchurch centre<br />
has been some time coming.<br />
“The centre we are<br />
constructing is designed to be<br />
a leader in early childhood care<br />
provision in New Zealand and<br />
we look forward to sharing this<br />
with the local community,” he<br />
said.<br />
It will be initially licensed<br />
for 100 children, employ more<br />
than 25 full-time staff and<br />
have five separate, age specific<br />
classrooms.<br />
“As someone who has spent a<br />
considerable part of my life here<br />
[Christchurch], I couldn’t be<br />
more excited,” Mr Hurst said.<br />
Wairakei School principal<br />
Shane Buckner said it was great<br />
to develop a relationship which<br />
will see both sites work together<br />
on a number of projects in the<br />
future.<br />
Mr Hurst said they will<br />
“embed” themselves in the<br />

community and they are already<br />
enjoying a great relationship<br />
with Mr Buckner and his team.<br />
Mr Hurst said he believes it<br />
will be a welcome alternative to<br />
current offerings.<br />
“Our child care centres<br />
provide excellent facilities,<br />
quality educational equipment<br />
and programmes, and wellqualified<br />
and caring teaching<br />
staff,” he said.<br />
Pupils set salmon<br />

ST MARGARET’S College<br />
pupils braved the rain on<br />
Wednesday to release salmon,<br />
they had cared for over the past<br />
few months, into the Avon River.<br />
They let the slippery creatures<br />
loose beside the Carlton Mill<br />
footbridge.<br />
It took a number of months<br />
to get the fish strong enough to<br />
survive in the wild, but the pupils<br />
were up to the challenge.<br />
Teacher Paulette Double said<br />
they all had a turn at feeding the<br />
tiny fish daily which they had<br />
been looking after from the time<br />
they were eggs.<br />
“The leader of each week looks<br />
after them, it’s her responsibility<br />
to feed them and make sure that<br />
they are fine and the tank is nice<br />
and clean.<br />
“When they hatch … they are<br />
still the egg and they have got a<br />
little head and little tail and they<br />
survive in the egg sac for a very<br />
long time,” she said.<br />
Fish and Game initiative coordinator<br />
Peter Robinson said<br />
pupils got to understand how the<br />
local ecosystem worked.<br />
“Salmon are pretty cool fish<br />
to raise and of course they have<br />
been part of the fabric of Canterbury<br />
society for 100 years,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Robinson said the pupils<br />
got to raise the salmon in the<br />
purpose-built tank and learnt<br />
a lot about the importance of<br />
clean water.<br />
“These kids certainly learn<br />
about the fish in the tank and<br />
the need for clean water because<br />
you can lose some if the water<br />
quality is not right,” he said.<br />
Ms Double said although it<br />
was sad to see the tiny creatures<br />
go, the pupils were ready to say<br />
goodbye.<br />
SCIRT programme on<br />
the home straight<br />
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining<br />
walls is almost complete and we’re aiming to finish construction in December.<br />
The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing<br />
repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT.<br />
Progress in your neighbourhood<br />
• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running<br />
through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and is<br />
scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.<br />
• Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale are progressing well and<br />
will be completed at the end of the year.<br />
• Repairs to the waste water networks in Papanui and Bryndwr will be finished<br />
by December.<br />

Marlene Bennetts<br />
Children’s author writes book<br />
Author Marlene Bennetts, 78, has finished writing her<br />
latest children’s book, The Little Drummer Boy, to<br />
raise money for her earthquake-damaged church in<br />
Opawa. She spoke to Caitlin Miles about her roving<br />
childhood and writing her memoirs<br />
Can you tell me about The<br />
Little Drummer Boy?<br />
I was approached to write<br />
something for the church in<br />
November last year that could<br />
be ready for Christmas. I sat on<br />
it for a while wondering what I<br />
could write and Evelyn Hille said<br />
to me why not write something<br />
on The Little Drummer Boy and<br />
so that’s what I did.<br />
How long have you belonged<br />
to the Opawa Community<br />
Church?<br />
I’ve lived in Opawa for about<br />
eight and half years and belonged<br />
to the church for at least<br />
six and half I think.<br />
How long have you been<br />
writing?<br />
I have been writing for about<br />
30 years now, children’s books<br />
and poems mostly.<br />
What made you want to be a<br />
writer?<br />
I’ve always wanted to write. I<br />
hated poetry. I was always interested<br />
in reading. We didn’t have<br />
libraries in the one-room schools<br />
so I didn’t get my first book until<br />
I was eight. It was Peter Pan – I<br />
loved that book, my grand-kids<br />
have it now. When I was<br />
growing up I used to tell my<br />
brothers stories to get them to<br />
do things for me when I didn’t<br />
want to.<br />
How many siblings do you<br />
have?<br />
I have two younger brothers.<br />
Did you grow up in Christchurch?<br />
No I didn’t. We moved roughly<br />
15 times so it’s hard to pinpoint<br />
where I grew up. I was born in<br />
Westport, though.<br />
Why did you move so often?<br />
My father worked in sawmills,<br />
so we moved around a lot. We<br />
were in a lot of small towns that<br />
only had one-classroom schools.<br />
Most of them had basically the<br />
same text books throughout, so<br />
I would read a couple of chapters<br />
ahead before starting at a new<br />
school and the teachers would<br />
think I was really clever until<br />
they caught up to the chapter I<br />
was on.<br />
Were you a bit cheeky in<br />

school Marlene?<br />
I had a strong character and<br />
got bored quickly I think is what<br />
it was. I ended up being prefect<br />
of my high school so I can’t have<br />
been that bad! Just a little cheeky.<br />
Was it hard moving from<br />
school to school?<br />
It wasn’t so bad when I was<br />
young. I do remember this one<br />
boy used to ride a white horse to<br />
school and every day my brother<br />
and I would have to run home<br />
because he would chase us on<br />
his horse and get it to nip at<br />
us. When I turned 11, I started<br />
to realise that my family were<br />
considered low on the social<br />
class because our dad worked in<br />
the sawmill. My dad left school<br />
at 14-and-a-half but he was very<br />
resilient.<br />
That was young to leave<br />
school.<br />
It wasn’t that uncommon back<br />
then. My parents were young<br />
when they had me. My mum<br />
was 17 and my dad was <strong>18</strong>. Mum<br />
had all three of us before she<br />
was 21. We kind of grew up with<br />
our parents, they were like older<br />
siblings. Well, they were parents<br />
first but you know. It was great.<br />
You see I have a lot to write<br />
about for my memoirs.<br />
How will you write everything<br />
from your memory?<br />
I have kept journals for the<br />
last 30 or 40 years, I use them to<br />
write stories and poems too. I<br />
can reflect on what people were<br />
wearing during the time. How<br />
they wore their hair, things like<br />
that. I write about what I know<br />
so I recall on my memories a lot<br />
which is what I’m doing for my<br />
memoirs.<br />

to rebuild community church<br />
Did you end up settling anywhere<br />
for a while?<br />
No. Even after we got married,<br />
we kept moving around. We<br />
used to buy houses and do them<br />
up before we sold them on. So<br />
we were moving all around the<br />
North Island. Then in 1987, we<br />
heard of a wee cottage in a place<br />
called Blackball and I said, as<br />
long as I don’t have to use a long<br />
drop, I don’t mind and it had an<br />
indoor toilet so we bought it. I<br />
had never heard of Blackball in<br />
my life and we just packed up<br />
and went there. I hadn’t been in<br />
the South Island since I was nine<br />
and my husband had never been<br />
so it was pretty big. We bought<br />
the house for $10,000 – you<br />
wouldn’t dream of that now.<br />
Did you start writing when<br />
you lived there?<br />
Yes. My husband decided to<br />
retire when we moved there so<br />
he was 56. I use to have a room<br />
in the house which looked out<br />
onto the mountains where I<br />
would go to write. That was<br />
my special spot. We had our<br />
children by that stage but they<br />
were all grown up. I would just<br />
shut myself off and Hec would<br />
keep supporting me.<br />
Were there times when you<br />
wanted to give up on writing?<br />
I was 48 when I wrote my first<br />
poem called Stolen Virginity. I<br />
went to this group where people<br />
read out their poems and had<br />
them criticised by other writers.<br />
These were respected and widely<br />
published writers and I was<br />
sitting there wondering why I<br />
was there and what I was doing.<br />
I got up and read it out and came<br />
home saying to my husband<br />
there is no way I am ever going<br />
back there, I’m not writing<br />
anymore, and he managed to<br />
convince me it wasn’t that bad<br />
so I went back the next month<br />
and it was the best thing I ever<br />
did. For every acceptance letter<br />
I got for a piece, I got about<br />
10 rejections. So it was pretty<br />
common for me to say I’m not<br />
doing this anymore and chuck<br />
it all in the bin. And Hec, my<br />
husband, would pull it all out<br />
again and convince me to keep<br />
writing. If it wasn’t for him, I<br />
wouldn’t be talking to you today.<br />
HER ROCK:<br />
Marlene’s late<br />
husband Hec<br />
was her biggest<br />
supporter,<br />
encouraging<br />
her to keep<br />
writing when she<br />
considered giving<br />
up several times. <br />
He was always my rock.<br />
Your husband seems like a big<br />
part of your motivation, how<br />
did you two meet?<br />
We were doing high jump<br />
and that was very different then<br />
compared to what it is now. We<br />
used to jump and fall into a pit of<br />
sawdust. So anyway, I was doing<br />
high jump and I stopped just<br />
short of the pit and tore a whole<br />
load of ligaments in my knee. I<br />
needed surgery but it was more<br />
risky back then. I had wanted<br />
to be in the Air Force but that<br />
wasn’t likely and, after that, it<br />
certainly wasn’t going to happen.<br />
So I ended up moving 800<br />
miles (1287km) away to live<br />
with my Grandmother to work<br />
as a secretary – I was 16 at<br />
the time. Hec was working in<br />
the garage and he was 23 so it<br />
worked out.<br />
What have been some of your<br />
highlights?<br />
I wrote this poem called The<br />
Miner’s Widow and I got a letter<br />
from a man who had picked up<br />
a copy and he said he had read<br />
it crying because it was the tale<br />
of his mum. That was really<br />
touching.<br />
You received a New Zealand<br />
Order of Merit?<br />
Yes, that was a real shock and<br />
an honour to receive – I couldn’t<br />
believe it. I read the letter and<br />
wondered what I was receiving it<br />
for. I never dreamed I would get<br />
one. I just wished my dad could<br />
have been there to see it.<br />
How often do you write each<br />
day?<br />
I’m not sure how many a day,<br />
but about 15 hours a week now.<br />
I’ve taken a bit of a step back<br />
from how much I used to do<br />
but I still work away on my<br />
laptop.<br />

Golf is a favourite past times for many. To the player, just holding the club in<br />
your hand, setting your stance, and taking that swing brings an adrenaline<br />
rush. Watching the ball hang in the air and trying to direct it’s landing with your<br />
head to the precise spot you wanted it to land adds to that intrigue.<br />
Golf is a very personal sport. A sport where in the end it all depends on you.<br />
How you’re feeling for the day and your personal performance. You are the<br />
only one responsible for the scorecard results even<br />
when playing against others in a round.<br />
Have you played the challenge of the Coringa Course?<br />
The Coringa Golf Club located at 680 Mcleans Island,<br />
this quality course offers a challenge to any golfer.<br />
The Coringa Golf club was formed in 1968 under the<br />
guidance of the Canterbury Golf Association with the<br />
aim of establishing the club as a true long championship<br />
golf course. Since its inception the course has continued<br />
to be developed to the stage where it now caters to all<br />
types of players, as members, guests, and social players<br />
have their choice of the five different course lengths:<br />

Blue 6146 Long Club Course<br />
White 5762 Medium Club Course<br />
Yellow 5366 Ladies and shorter club course<br />
Purple 2807 Beginners and advanced juniors course<br />
Junior 420 metre 6 hole course<br />
The club offers excellent practice facilities with access to two practice ranges<br />
of 450 metres each, one of which includes a covered driving range. Not one, not<br />
two, but three New Zealand PGA qualified professionals are available for your<br />
coaching goals. These being Peter Davies, Wayne Davies and Matt McDowell<br />
all of whom have had considerable club coaching backgrounds.<br />

Two awards<br />
for student<br />
WINNING A regional leadership<br />
award was not enough for one<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />
student, she won a national award as<br />
well.<br />
Pieta McAleer-Harding won the<br />
Ministry of Youth Development<br />
regional award and New Zealand<br />
national award of excellence for<br />
student leadership after she was<br />
nominated by her fellow competitors.<br />
The Cashmere teenager was part<br />
of the Christchurch Girls’ and Boys’<br />
High combined stage challenge<br />
team who presented their entry, You<br />
Shouldn’t Put A Price On Humanity,<br />
in May.<br />
“I felt really honoured to be given<br />
the opportunity and recognised as a<br />
leader,” she said.<br />
Miss McAleer-Harding has two<br />
older sisters who she followed to<br />
Christchurch Girls’, one is in retail<br />
and the other is studying.<br />
She said she has to thank her<br />
parents, in particular her father.<br />
“My dad is amazing he helped<br />
me through the music, costumes,<br />
and the set and my mum supports<br />
me in anything I do. They are both<br />
amazing,” she said.<br />
The year 13 student will head to<br />
Victoria University next year to study<br />
architecture and said the award will<br />
not hurt her chances of getting in.<br />

School event to engage families<br />
MAIREHAU HIGH hosted<br />
more than 110 people at a significant<br />
whanau and families<br />
evening in the school hall.<br />
The Building On Success<br />
focus team of teachers, led by<br />
Angela Marshall, designed,<br />
consulted about, and prepared<br />
the evening as part of their<br />
work in engaging our families,<br />
and building our relationships<br />
with them.<br />
The focus is to improve communications<br />
with whanau and<br />
families, as they work to meet<br />
the learning, cultural, and<br />
other needs of the students.<br />
The particular focus for this<br />
event was on strengthening<br />
bonds with Maori and Pacific<br />
communities, including Cook<br />
Islands, Samoan, Tongan and<br />
Fijian Indian families.<br />
The evening began with a<br />
formal welcome to everyone<br />
from deputy principal Mark<br />
Bell and then an introduction<br />
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Alana Batcheler, Canterbury<br />
University’s Pacific liaison officer spoke about her own<br />
learning journeys.<br />
to our student leaders for the<br />
evening, Kavita Pillay, Anahera<br />
Koopu, Phoenix Neilson, and<br />
Sebastian Anae-Ah Sue.<br />
These young leaders ran the<br />
evening with confidence and<br />
style, introducing items and<br />
guest speakers, presenting<br />
karakia (prayer) and orders of<br />
service for a three-course meal<br />
and providing acknowledgements<br />
at the end.<br />
The guests, former Mairehau<br />
High student and teacher at<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te<br />
Whanau Tahi Henare Te Aika<br />
and pacific liaison officer at<br />
Canterbury University Alana<br />
Batcheler, spoke about their<br />
own learning journeys as Maori<br />
and Pasifika respectively,<br />
and encouraged our students<br />
to set lofty but attainable goals.<br />
A number of our students<br />
and their families contributed<br />
with musical items.<br />
Families spoke with humility<br />
and appreciation about<br />
the school’s genuine efforts to<br />
connect with them.<br />
The hope now is for the<br />
school to have an evening of<br />
this scale every two years in<br />
order to support the learning<br />
aspirations of Maori and<br />
Pacific youth.<br />

CBHS wins on tour<br />
• by Gordon Findlater<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’<br />
High School had an ideal<br />
preparation for the cricket<br />
season with a two-week<br />
trip to Australia during the<br />
school holidays.<br />
The school’s first XI and<br />
a development team, made<br />
up of the second and third<br />
XI squads, played six games<br />
each over the space of 13<br />
days in New South Wales.<br />
The tour has taken place<br />
every second year for the<br />
past 14 years.<br />
Both teams won all of<br />
their games against quality<br />
Sydney secondary school<br />
teams, which included The<br />
King’s School, St Ignatius<br />
Riverview, Shore Grammar<br />
School and Newington College.<br />
“Some of the grounds we<br />
played on were first class<br />
material. The conditions<br />
were something we wouldn’t<br />
be able to replicate at home<br />
at this time of year,” said<br />
master in charge of cricket<br />
Matt Parr.<br />
They were also given some<br />
special tutelage from former<br />
Australian international<br />
cricketer Jason Krejza.<br />
The 33-year-old right arm<br />
off-break bowler spent time<br />
with the two teams, putting<br />
them through their paces<br />
before some of their matches<br />
ON TOUR: The CBHS first XI pose for a photo with<br />
Shore Grammar School after their <strong>18</strong> run victory. <br />
in Sydney.<br />
Back at home, the first XI<br />
began their campaign over<br />
the weekend with two wins.<br />
They defeated their own<br />
second XI in the opening<br />
round of the Christchurch<br />
first XI one day competition<br />
last Saturday. They scored<br />
214 in the first innings and<br />
then bowled out the second<br />
XI for just 57 in a one-sided<br />
affair.<br />
On Sunday, they played<br />
St Bede’s in the regional<br />
semi-final of the National<br />
Secondary School Boys’<br />
First XI Cup (formerly the<br />
Gillette Cup).<br />
They bowled St Bede’s<br />
out for 104 and then<br />
reached the target with<br />
relative ease to win by six<br />
wickets. Ben Hartland, son<br />
of former Canterbury and<br />
New Zealand international<br />
cricketer Blair Hartland, top<br />
scored with a 50 to help his<br />
team reach victory.<br />
CBHS will now play St<br />
Andrew’s in the regional<br />
final in November.<br />
The winner will take<br />
part in the final week-long<br />
tournament in Lincoln in<br />
December.<br />

THEY WORKED at school, but<br />
will they work in the office?<br />
Culottes have made a heroic<br />
comeback over the past year and<br />
they’re not going away anytime<br />
soon. From Kendall Jenner to<br />
Victoria Beckham, everybody<br />
seems to be rocking the schoolyard<br />
trend.<br />
While switching your skinny<br />
jeans to culottes may seem like a<br />
bit of a stretch, these wide-legged<br />
cropped pants are pretty easy to<br />
pull off when worn right.<br />
Once you own a pair, you’ll<br />
find they’re practically interchangeable<br />
with your favourite<br />
black denims.<br />
If your culottes are plain, steer<br />
towards something more playful<br />
up top to really balance out your<br />
look. And if your culottes are the<br />
star of the show, keep your top<br />
half neutral.<br />
Pair plain culottes with a crisp<br />
blouse and a pair of mules for a<br />
work-ready look.<br />
If you’re looking to integrate<br />
cropped pants into your everyday<br />
wardrobe, culottes will go<br />
perfectly with a playful top like<br />
seen on the beautiful Olivia<br />
Culpo.<br />
But it’s not sweater weather any<br />
longer so it’s time to pull out the<br />
old faithfuls lurking in the back<br />
of your wardrobe for another<br />
season, or head to the shops for a<br />
wardrobe rejuvenation.<br />
Here are some other looks you<br />
should get into, just in time for<br />
the warmer weather.<br />
Blue and white stripes: Picture<br />
it. It’s 30deg C and you’re lounging<br />
sea-side in the French Riviera.<br />
Your blue and white striped<br />
maxi dress flows freely in the<br />
breeze as you look ready to board<br />
your own private yacht. Blue and<br />
white stripes is one way to look<br />
relaxed and effortlessly chic at<br />
the same time. This season is all<br />
about the stripes.<br />
Pleated skirt: A spin on an old<br />
classic. Add a hint of sophistication<br />
by trading in your pencil<br />
skirts for a nice pleated number.<br />
Pair with a set of sneakers to<br />
dress it down and you’ll look oh<br />
PLEATS PLEASE: Pair your flats<br />
with a calf-length pleated skirt<br />
for a fresh summer look.<br />

Summer will also see the return<br />
of mirror sunglasses, statement<br />
earrings, wide-leg pants,<br />
denim mini skirts, shirt dresses,<br />
jumpsuits and it looks like offthe-shoulder<br />
dresses and shirts<br />
are here to stay another season.<br />

10 diet tips backed by science<br />
EACH AND every day there are<br />
headlines screaming the benefits<br />
of various diet and exercise<br />
regimes.<br />
Go Paleo, cut the carbs, fast<br />
occasionally or do a juice cleanse<br />
are just a few of the more recent<br />
diet trends to do the rounds.<br />
But when it comes to what the<br />
evidence shows are sustainable<br />
ways to lose weight and keep<br />
it off, the results can be a little<br />
sparse when it comes to proving<br />
the benefits of these regimes long<br />
term.<br />
Here are some of the strategies<br />
that science shows do work when<br />
it comes to long term weight loss<br />
success.<br />
1 Eat less at night for weight<br />
loss<br />
While it is often debated by<br />
health professionals, there is<br />
growing evidence to show that<br />
eating less at night, or at least having<br />
relatively long periods overnight<br />
without food is beneficial<br />
when it comes to weight loss.<br />
A recent study published in the<br />
British Journal of Nutrition found<br />
that healthy men who restricted<br />
their calorie intake between the<br />
hours of 7pm and 6am consumed<br />
more than 200 fewer calories per<br />
day. The moral of the story, eat for<br />
fewer hours each day to support<br />
calorie control and weight loss.<br />
2. Eat like the Italians<br />
Of all the dietary regimes<br />
sprouted, few, if any have the<br />
scientific evidence base that<br />
supports disease prevention and<br />
longevity the way the Mediterranean<br />
diet does.<br />
Packed full of fresh fruit,<br />
vegetables and plenty of good<br />
fats thanks to lashings of olive<br />
oil, nuts and avocado, not only is<br />
your heart likely to be healthier<br />
eating this way, but your risk of<br />
developing a number of other<br />
diseases.<br />
3 Watch your liquid calories<br />
Few foods are directly linked to<br />
weight gain the way soft drinks,<br />
juices and other sources of nonnutritive<br />
liquid calories are.<br />
High sugar liquids deposit fat in<br />
the liver more readily than other<br />
foods and are easily overconsumed.<br />
Any time you see sugar<br />
in a liquid form, you are best to<br />
avoid it.<br />
4 Concentrate on eating<br />
Studies have repeatedly shown<br />
the benefits of mindful eating,<br />
including fewer total calories<br />
consumed, increased satiety and<br />
less calories consumed at the next<br />
meal.<br />
This means it is time to ditch<br />
lunch in front of the computer for<br />
a few minutes and instead focus<br />
on what you are eating.<br />
5 Focus on fibre<br />
Another old school dietary approach<br />
that many of us continue<br />
to ignore is getting enough fibre.<br />
Many of us are failing to reach<br />
the recommended intake thanks<br />
to an inadequate consumption of<br />
fresh fruit and vegetables. Instead,<br />
we are over indulging in more<br />
processed carbs, such as white<br />
bread, white rice and pasta.<br />
Adults should aim for 30g of<br />
dietary fibre each day through<br />
2-3 cups salad and vegetables,<br />
a couple of pieces of fruit and<br />
wholegrains like corn, brown rice,<br />
quinoa and legumes.<br />
6 Ditch the diet drinks<br />
While diet soft drinks may appear<br />
to be a healthier option, and<br />
while they may contain no added<br />
sugar, they remain an exceptionally<br />
sweet food and one that is<br />
linked to increased hunger, sweet<br />
cravings and hormonal issues.<br />
For this reason, consuming<br />
them occasionally rather than<br />
thinking they are a good swap for<br />
regular soft drink is the key.<br />
7 Sleep more<br />
The more you sleep, the fewer<br />
hours there are to eat. When it<br />
comes to chronic sleep deprivation,<br />
getting less than five hours<br />
a night of shut eye is linked to<br />
increased body weight likely due<br />
to hormonal imbalances which<br />
can be impacted by lack of sleep.<br />
8 Be consistent<br />
No diet needs to be perfect to<br />
get good results. Data from the<br />
US Weight Control Registry –<br />
which tracks the progress of more<br />
than 5000 Americans who have<br />
lost more than 15kg and kept<br />
it off – has shown that consistency<br />
is the key when it comes to<br />
weight control.<br />
9 Keep moving<br />
Exercise is great but even more<br />
important is the need to keep active.<br />
The biggest shift in modern<br />
life is that we find ourselves sitting<br />
down for many hours each<br />
day. In turn this means we need<br />
to clock up some serious steps in<br />
an attempt to counter act these<br />
long periods of inactivity.<br />
10 Get enough protein<br />
Diets higher in protein have<br />
been shown to help regulate appetite,<br />
blood glucose levels and<br />
heart disease risk factors.<br />
As a general rule of thumb,<br />
teaming each meal with a combo<br />
of slowly digested carbs such as<br />
wholegrains or fruit with a protein<br />
rich food is an easy dietary<br />
mantra. Try tuna on crackers,<br />
Greek yoghurt and fruit.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />
Pasifika Trades Training leads<br />
to new career for Charity<br />
Receiving a Pasifika Trades Training<br />
scholarship has been a game-changer for<br />
Charity Ierome. After completing a 12-<br />
week Essential Civil Skills course at Ara<br />
Institute of Canterbury for free, she now<br />
has a clear career path and a new outlook.<br />
“The biggest thing it’s done for me is<br />
build up my confidence. Before I felt like<br />
nobody and now I know that I can achieve<br />
and what I want to do in the future,” she<br />
says.<br />
Charity used to work in the butchery at<br />
Pak n Save, but knew it wasn’t what she<br />
wanted to do long-term. Her Dad found<br />
out about the Pasifika Trades Training<br />
scholarship through Reverend Fitifiti<br />
Lautua, a mentor for the programme.<br />
With so many opportunities in<br />
Canterbury, Charity says that trades<br />
training was a good career move and it<br />
made financial sense.<br />
“It was a chance for me to do something<br />
for myself and make a better living for my<br />
family. My Nana was my inspiration. I<br />
wanted to make sure she was well looked<br />
after back in Samoa,” she says.<br />
Studying for 12 weeks full-time was a<br />
big commitment for Charity, who also<br />
continued to work full-time. However, the<br />
backing of her tutor and classmates helped<br />
her to succeed.<br />
“My tutor had experienced the kind of<br />
difference that a qualification can make in<br />
your life and he was a real role model. My<br />
class became my second family,” she says.<br />
The course was exactly what Charity<br />
needed to get into the industry. It included<br />
the core practical skills and certifications<br />
that employers look for, and provided<br />
support to enter the workforce.<br />
“The most valuable thing I learned was<br />
how to get work-ready. I was taught how<br />
to approach an interview and what to put<br />
in my CV. We also had potential employers<br />
come to talk to us,” she says.<br />
Just two weeks after completing her<br />
qualification, Charity was offered a job at<br />
City Care. She is now a Traffic Management<br />
Site Supervisor, wants to work towards<br />
a degree and has her sights set on a<br />
management role.<br />
“It’s like I’m on a totally different planet<br />
now. Studying has changed who I am and<br />
it has changed my family’s future,” she says.<br />

Cramping pain in my<br />
leg when I try to walk<br />
Intermittent Claudication<br />
“This is different from “night-cramps” Ietje van Stolk, (physiotherapist<br />
at Physical Sense and the centre for Senior Well-being) explains.<br />
This kind of cramping (sometimes called<br />
“window -shopping legs”) is triggered by<br />
normal exertion of the leg muscles and<br />
is typically caused by obstruction of the<br />
arteries. Sufferers have to find themselves a<br />
regular excuse to stop for a while to allow<br />
the blood flow to reach the cramped up<br />
muscles.<br />
The official name for this condition is<br />
Intermittent Claudication. Claudication is<br />
pain and/or cramping in the lower leg due<br />
to inadequate blood flow to the muscles.<br />
The pain usually causes the person to<br />
limp. The word “claudication” comes from<br />
the Latin “claudicare” meaning to limp.<br />
Claudication typically is felt while walking,<br />
and subsides with rest. It is commonly<br />
referred to as “intermittent” claudication<br />
because it comes and goes with exertion<br />
and rest. In severe claudication, the pain is<br />
also felt at rest.<br />
It is a painful condition that really<br />
“cramps people’s lifestyle”. The pain free<br />
walking distance tends to get shorter as the<br />
condition progresses. If you suffer from<br />
this condition it is crucial to understand<br />
that the body actually finds a way to<br />
increase the blood flow to the legs IF<br />
THE DEMAND is there. It is like every<br />
thing in the body……..”use it or lose it”.<br />
Unfortunately many people with this<br />
condition end up in a vicious cycle; the<br />
pain stops the walking, and the lack of<br />
walking increases the problem.<br />
Exercise is recommended to greatly<br />
reduce symptoms and to increase<br />
pain free walking distance. Eight years<br />
ago on request of the vascular nurse<br />
in Christchurch hospital, Physical<br />
Sense started a two weekly circuit for<br />
Intermittent Claudication patients. The<br />
pilot program started with 50 clients.<br />
• 82% of all clients, experienced<br />
improvement in their walking distance<br />
• Quite a number of clients doubled their<br />
walking distance, for some it even became<br />
limitless.<br />
• After a year 88% of clients were still active<br />
• There was an exceptionally low dropout<br />
rate of only 8%<br />
• The <strong>18</strong>% who did not notice a difference<br />
in relation to their walking distance still<br />
enjoyed all the other benefits of exercise<br />
(to heart, lungs, sugar levels, bone health,<br />
balance and mood etc.)<br />
People always start in a group, so they<br />
get the benefit of a guided introduction to<br />
more exercise and the use of the gym. In<br />
the groups we are looking at 50-80+ year<br />
olds that are giving their legs a workout<br />
by using steppers, treadmills, stationary<br />
bikes and other exercise stations. That way<br />
they also benefit from working out with<br />
people who suffer the same problems. “It<br />
is amazing the support and wisdom people<br />
receive from each other” Ietje says. In this<br />
“circuit setup” every client can work in<br />
their own tempo, and people simply sit<br />
down and have a rest when the “cramping<br />
in the leg” becomes too much. Some<br />
people stay in the group and some choose<br />
to use the gym by themselves to keep on<br />
top of their claudication.<br />
At Physical Sense they have been going<br />
strong with the Intermittent Claudication<br />
class ever since the first class eight years<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Are you one of<br />
the 70% with<br />
excess Candida<br />
Do you suffer from any of<br />
the following symptoms?<br />
Heart burn, indigestion, feeling tired<br />
often, low energy, gas, constipation or<br />
diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, frequent<br />
urination, thrush, oral thrush (white<br />
coated tongue), sore throat, fungal skin<br />
infections and rashes, jock itch, chronic<br />
disease among others are just some of the<br />
common symptoms.<br />
A causative factor for all these symptoms<br />
and more can be a yeast organism<br />
called Candida albicans. It is often<br />
underestimated what a profound effect it<br />
can have on our health and wellbeing.<br />
It is normal and beneficial to have<br />
some Candida in the gut where it is kept<br />
under control by the good gut bacteria or<br />
probiotics that feed on this yeast. However,<br />
using antibiotics without probiotic<br />
supplementation, sickness, poor diet,<br />
insufficient stomach acid and medications<br />
are some of the factors that can upset this<br />
delicate balance and allow the Candida to<br />
thrive.<br />
The Candida yeast often enters the blood<br />
stream as a fungus. Symptoms will vary<br />
depending on its location in the body. If it<br />
enters the brain, it can cause depression,<br />
anxiety and foggy thinking. Some<br />
researchers believe the Candida fungus<br />
can release a pleomorphic microorganism<br />
or virus that’s form changes depending<br />
on its environment. This is believed to<br />
be a factor in cancer and other chronic<br />
health conditions. However, it is the<br />
body’s weakened immune system and<br />
toxic environment that is the real cause of<br />
disease.<br />
The natural health advisers at<br />
Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy<br />
can provide you with a detailed<br />
nutritional protocol to cleanse the excess<br />
candida and its fungus from the body,<br />
and improve your overall health and<br />
wellbeing. Visit them at 110 Seaview Rd,<br />
New Brighton. Phone 388 5757. We are<br />
always happy to help!<br />
Forgetting Things?<br />
Surprising Advice!<br />
Brain and memory changes happen to<br />
everyone around the age of 50 or so.<br />
Four reasons why the brain<br />
‘ages’<br />
1. Our age-related hormones<br />
decline<br />
2. Living a sedentary lifestyle<br />
3. Lacking mental & physical<br />
activity<br />
4. Poor nutrition & obesity<br />
Factors 2, 3 and 4 are under<br />
YOUR control!<br />
Exercise is SO important for<br />
cell regeneration.<br />
In a recent U.S. study, those<br />
who exercised for 15 minutes<br />
three times a week reduced<br />
their risk for dementia by onethird.<br />
“Moderate exercise is the<br />
closest thing we have to a magic<br />
wellness bullet for everyone,”<br />
said William Thies, of the<br />
Alzheimer’s Association for<br />
medical and scientific affairs.<br />
“Moderate physical activity<br />
has all kinds of benefits and<br />
almost no downside.”<br />
The Aircycle exerciser was<br />
designed to boost circulation<br />
and keep nutrients and<br />
oxygen flowing to the cells.<br />
Well nourished cells aid<br />
regeneration in all parts of the<br />

exercise while you sit – it’s so easy!<br />

Are you Magnesium<br />
deficient?<br />
Minerals are the building<br />
blocks of good health. Some<br />
minerals are only needed in<br />
trace amounts where others like<br />
magnesium are needed in much<br />
larger amounts and on a regular<br />
basis to prevent deficiency and<br />
maintain optimum health.<br />
A large number of us do not<br />
obtain sufficient magnesium<br />
from our diet and may notice<br />
some of the common signs<br />
of deficiency. Some of the<br />
more common symptoms that<br />
may be caused by insufficient<br />
magnesium are: leg and muscle<br />
cramps, twitches, muscle pain,<br />
muscle fatigue and weakness,<br />
tremors of hands, blurred<br />
vision, restlessness, poor sleep,<br />
raised and/or unstable blood<br />
pressure, poor circulation,<br />
irregular heartbeat, shortness<br />
of breath, swallowing problems,<br />
dizziness, headaches, anxiety,<br />
agitation, irritability, seizures,<br />
poor concentration and many<br />
more.<br />
Although many young people<br />
now show signs of magnesium<br />
deficiency symptoms<br />
generally worsen as we age<br />
due to our digestive system<br />
being less efficient. Taking a<br />
magnesium supplement of<br />
sufficient strength may be a<br />
sensible option to top up our<br />
vital magnesium levels. Not<br />
all magnesium supplements<br />
however are well absorbed by<br />
everyone. Luckily a new marine<br />
sourced magnesium has been<br />
found that offers good levels of<br />
absorbable magnesium as well<br />
as many trace nutrients that are<br />
low in the diet but essential for<br />
good health.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
A name synonymous with the<br />
motor vehicle industry<br />
As a youngster, Trevor Crowe always tinkered with cars. After completing his<br />
mechanics engineering apprenticeship, he established Lichfield Motors and later<br />
Trevor Crowe Motors, obtaining the Subaru franchise in 1988. Crowe Subaru was<br />
the top selling Subaru dealership in New Zealand for many years.<br />
In 2000, Trevor sold his Subaru franchise to<br />
concentrate on his passion of motor vehicle maintenance<br />
and repairs, and motor racing in his spare time.<br />
“Trevor enjoys making and fixing things,” advises<br />
Josh Mitchell, Car Sales Manager at CroweSport. “He<br />
sold the franchise so he could specialise in repairs but<br />
so many customers kept asking to buy a car that he<br />
began importing second-hand cars, opening a car yard<br />
beside his workshop.”<br />
Josh joined Trevor as an apprentice mechanic when<br />
he left school. He learnt the ins and outs of Subarus<br />
while also helping out in the car yard.<br />
“Customers liked talking to a mechanic who could<br />
answer their questions about Subarus and how they<br />
worked,” explains Josh who admits to being as fanatical<br />
about motor vehicles and engines as Trevor is.<br />
After the 2011 February earthquake, the business<br />
took over a vacated business next door and Josh took<br />
responsibility for the buying and selling of cars.<br />
Each day, Josh sifts through the details of around 200<br />
cars at Japanese auctions, selecting vehicles reflecting<br />
quality. He then requests their Japanese agent to<br />
thoroughly inspect each car and recommend the best<br />
which CroweSport imports. With a new law governing<br />
the emission levels of imported vehicles, only Subarus<br />
that are 2004 or newer are imported.<br />
Around forty vehicles a month come into the<br />
CroweSport workshop where they are serviced and any<br />
repairs carried out before being placed in the yard for<br />
sale.<br />
“Our customers have peace of mind when purchasing<br />
our cars as they know they have been thoroughly<br />
checked and are in good condition,” explains Josh.<br />
Josh says that the standard of cars available from Japan<br />
is wide so they only deal with one company. This allows<br />
them to have an excellent relationship, building trust in<br />
their import agent who checks the cars at auction for<br />
CroweSport.<br />
Trevor and Josh both currently races Subaru<br />
Imprezas, and Trevor is building a new ‘Subaru Special’<br />
race car, which might explain why CroweSport really<br />
are Subaru specialists, though they repair and service<br />
all makes and models.<br />
CroweSport is a privately owned and operated<br />
automotive sales and service centre. They sell secondhand<br />
Subaru and are looking to the future with Nissan<br />
Leaf electric vehicles. CroweSport can be found at 5<strong>18</strong><br />
Moorhouse Avenue (between Fitzgerald Avenue and<br />
Ferry Road).<br />
