• By Julia Evans<br />

A NEW music recording programme<br />

will fill a vacuum left since the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

Developed with the modern music<br />

industry in mind, BeatONE is a new<br />

programme for students run by the<br />

Papanui Youth Development Trust.<br />

Trust manager Hamish Flynn said<br />

there’s been a real need for a programme<br />

like this ever since the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

“Pre-quake you had places like<br />

Zebedees, White Elephant and Fuse,<br />

but they’re pretty much all gone now,”<br />

he said.<br />

Bottle store plan doubles in size<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A REVISED application for<br />

a controversial bottle store<br />

on Trafford St has now been<br />

submitted to the city council.<br />

A hearing was set for the end<br />

of March, for a bottle store at 2a<br />

Trafford St, but it was withdrawn<br />

just days beforehand because the<br />

applicant wanted to double the<br />

size of the shop.<br />

Now, the applicant<br />

Sarmarth Rajeshkumar<br />

Limbachiya, has publicly<br />

notified the updated<br />

details, confirming that it<br />

will be twice the size but<br />

opening hours would be<br />

shorter.<br />

The site has been controversial,<br />

with residents vowing to fight<br />

the application in spite of their<br />

frustrations.<br />

Get ready for<br />

winter now<br />

“We’re still encouraging<br />

people to participate.<br />

There’s rock solid support,”<br />

Trafford St resident Colin<br />

Fussell (left) said.<br />

Mr Fussell alongside<br />

another resident Bruce<br />

Tulloch have organised<br />

a petition with more than<br />

1100 signatures and<br />

counting.<br />

“The expansion has just given<br />

more clout to what we originally<br />

said,” Mr Fussell said.<br />

They do not want to encourage<br />

anti-social behaviour and<br />

think there are more options<br />

for buying alcohol in the area<br />

already.<br />

“They are making a profit from<br />

public harm and it has to stop,”<br />

Mr Tulloch said.<br />

Mr Limbachiya has not<br />

responded to calls from<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong>.<br />

New objections can be made<br />

but have to get to the city council<br />

by <strong>May</strong> 16.<br />

The city council said a new<br />

hearing date will not be set<br />

until it has reviewed the new<br />

application, which will be after<br />

<strong>May</strong> 16.<br />

REPORTER’S<br />

DESK<br />

Tuesday <strong>May</strong> 2 <strong>2017</strong><br />

Inside<br />

THE CITY’S north-west has<br />

certainly been busy this week.<br />

The controversial liquor store<br />

set for Trafford St has reached<br />

yet another milestone as the new<br />

application made it back to the<br />

city council.<br />

Hopefully there are no more<br />

speed bumps in that saga –<br />

residents just want to find out<br />

whether the bottle store gets the<br />

green light or not.<br />

If anyone out there has a<br />

spinal injury, please reach out<br />

and contact Cindy Allison. She’s<br />

a woman with an amazing story<br />

to tell.<br />

Cindy has made it through her<br />

own battles and there have been<br />

many, including cancer.<br />

But she is now giving back<br />

and helping people regain movement<br />

after their spinal injuries<br />

through her doctoral studies.<br />

PhD student never gave up<br />

ashion<br />

TWO TYPES of cancer, a head<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

injury, losing a home – you<br />

could have forgiven doctoral<br />

student Cindy Allison if she had<br />

decided to throw in the towel.<br />

But instead, the 56-year-old<br />

Canterbury University student<br />

has never given up trying to get<br />

her PhD in health science.<br />

She first enrolled for her<br />

course three days before the<br />

Gardening<br />

September 4, 2010, earthquake,<br />

which immediately put her<br />

studies on hold.<br />

Then she managed to get a<br />

head injury.<br />

“In my second year of study,<br />

I fell and hit my head on some<br />

rocks and got a head injury,” she<br />

said.<br />

She was then displaced from<br />

otoring<br />

her home after the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake.<br />

And finally, if that was not<br />

enough, cancer struck. Not once<br />

but twice. First it was breast<br />

cancer, then melanoma.<br />

It was a week before the first<br />

class was set to begin last year<br />

when a regular mole check<br />

asty Bites<br />

provided Ms Allison’s second<br />

diagnosis of cancer.<br />

“It was only early stages – I<br />

didn’t have to have radiotherapy<br />

or chemotherapy. But the<br />

DOCTOR: Soon to be doctor, Cindy Allison has overcome<br />

many battles to get back to her studies.<br />

melanoma was scary, though. I<br />

sunbathed too much as a child<br />

thinking I would never get old,”<br />

she said.<br />

The breast cancer was at such<br />

an early stage, it was “a nuisance<br />

more than anything,” Ms Allison<br />

said.<br />

But now everything is coming<br />

together again. She’s bought a<br />

house, finished her cancer treatment<br />

and is raring to get her<br />

studies back on track.<br />

She’s working on a programme<br />

to help people with<br />

spinal cord injuries regain<br />

movement.<br />

“Everything has felt a bit up<br />

RESEARCH: Cindy Allison’s<br />

doctoral studies involve a<br />

workshop to help people<br />

with spinal injuries regain<br />

movement.<br />

in the air …but I feel like I’m<br />

finally getting my brain back,”<br />

she said.<br />

Currently seeking people to<br />

participate with spinal cord<br />

injuries, Ms Allison hopes to<br />

recruit people to take part in the<br />

course she’s developed based on<br />

the Feldenkrais method.<br />

It’s a method that helped<br />

Ms Allison when yoga, pilates,<br />

physiotherapy, stretching and<br />

everything in between hadn’t<br />

worked.<br />

•Potential participants<br />

who have had their injuries<br />

for at least 12 months<br />

In Brief<br />

VANDAL UPDATE<br />

The city council has confirmed<br />

complaints of vandals at Lake Roto<br />

Kohatu and said around $15,000<br />

has been spent this summer alone<br />

cleaning up. Kay Holder, city council<br />

operations manager for regional<br />

parks, said there is ongoing work<br />

for redesigning facilities and an<br />

upgrade to the entrance is planned.<br />

Signage has been installed to provide<br />

appropriate behaviour guidelines.<br />

LIBRARY OPENING<br />

The Bishopdale Library and<br />

Community Centre is looking good<br />

for a July opening. Construction has<br />

passed the halfway mark and the roof<br />

is on. City council staff are confident<br />

the building will be ready for the<br />

public in a few months. Contractors<br />

will remain on the site for nine weeks<br />

and then the city council can begin<br />

fitting out the new centre.<br />

PARKING REMOVAL<br />

Street parking outside properties<br />

on Sawyers Arms Rd is an accident<br />

waiting to happen, residents say. The<br />

parking has caused a complete lack<br />

of visibility when the residents come<br />

out of their driveways. The parking<br />

stretches between the entrance to<br />

the Graham Condon Sports and<br />

Recreation Centre and the Papanui<br />

Leagues Club. City council staff will<br />

have to consult all affected parties.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />

Keep calm<br />

and patient<br />

to help kids<br />

locked in car<br />

• Mark Thomas, fire risk<br />

management officer<br />

A COUPLE of instances this<br />

week of young children locked in<br />

cars with the keys in with them.<br />

Generally when this occurs mum<br />

gets more and more anxious as<br />

time goes by. This in turn causes<br />

the kids to become agitated and<br />

of course the level of distress then<br />

ramps further upwards.<br />

Every now and then with children<br />

who are either not restrained<br />

or are old enough to free themselves,<br />

a patient and cool parent<br />

can get them to unlock the vehicle<br />

from inside.<br />

This happened at the antarctic<br />

centre last week after the mum<br />

phoned AA, which phoned the<br />

Fire Service, which responded.<br />

She then persuaded an obviously<br />

bright wee soul to flick the locking<br />

mechanism. They then left and the<br />

fire truck turned up to an empty<br />

park. To be fair to mum she apparently<br />

phoned AA back so no job<br />

turned out to be a good job for our<br />

Fire Service friends at the airport.<br />

Larger liquor store bid riles resident<br />

Trafford St<br />

resident and<br />

protestor<br />

Bruce Tulloch<br />

writes about<br />

an application<br />

to increase<br />

the size of a controversial<br />

bottle store proposed for<br />

the street<br />

LAST October a liquor licence<br />

was requested for a store on<br />

the corner of Trafford St and<br />

Harewood Rd, which would be<br />

open until 10pm, seven days a<br />

week.<br />

In the middle of suburban<br />

homes, with other alcohol outlets<br />

accessible, there was strong<br />

opposition.<br />

A petition collected more<br />

than 1100 signatures and 36 individual<br />

objections were lodged,<br />

with support from the local<br />

community board, the Anglican,<br />

Catholic, Presbyterian and<br />

Salvation Army churches and<br />

the YMCA.<br />

The majority of objectors were<br />

prepared to attend the district<br />

licensing committee’s hearing<br />

on March 29, but a week before<br />

this, the applicant applied<br />

to double the store size.<br />

This required a new application,<br />

and the hearing had to be<br />

put off.<br />

This revised application was<br />

published on Anzac Day, with<br />

the hearing date to come.<br />

PROTEST: Residents are opposing an application to open a<br />

bottle store on Trafford St.<br />

Doubling the size will only<br />

increase the reasons for rejection.<br />

While existing objections<br />

are carried forward, new objections<br />

can be made, provided<br />

they are received by Tuesday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 16.<br />

The Sale and Supply of Liquor<br />

Act states that sale, supply and<br />

consumption of alcohol should<br />

be undertaken safely and responsibly,<br />

and harm directly or<br />

indirectly caused, including any<br />

to society generally or the community,<br />

should be minimised.<br />

Canterbury University<br />

research has found close<br />

proximity to alcohol outlets is<br />

associated with increased serious<br />

violent crime, and other ill<br />

effects are well-documented.<br />

There has been opposition<br />

country-wide to the rash of new<br />

suburban liquor stores for good<br />

reason.<br />

It is very important that the<br />

city council listens to the wishes<br />

of the community.<br />

We have seen the damage<br />

caused in Christchurch when<br />

the public are ignored, as in the<br />

proposed changes to Victoria<br />

Square or the fiasco with Redcliffs<br />

and other schools.<br />

The chaos in the United<br />

States, I believe, shows the massive<br />

damage when trust and<br />

collaboration break down.<br />

This case will indicate whether<br />

that lesson is understood.<br />

BEN SELBY<br />

An artistic slice of New Zealand<br />

culture is being served up in the<br />

town of Little River. From <strong>May</strong> 6,<br />

Little River Gallery will be exhibiting<br />

works by artists Robin Slow and<br />

Brian Flintoff.<br />

Titled ‘Whare Huruhuru Manu,’<br />

the exhibition of Slow’s lyrical<br />

paintings show the cultural stories<br />

of Maori past and present with<br />

luscious depth using symbols and<br />

motifs in precious oxides. Flintoff’s<br />

delicately carved instruments in<br />

bone and native timbers add to<br />

breadth of the exhibition.<br />

There is a further dimension to the<br />

exhibition, music composed and<br />

played by Bob Bickerton, inspired<br />

by Robin’s paintings and using<br />

Brian’s instruments. CD’s and<br />

DVD’s featuring all three artists<br />

work are available.<br />

Little River Gallery is located in<br />

Little River on State Highway 75<br />

Anger over maintenance contracts<br />

Residents<br />

look at doing<br />

the work<br />

themselves<br />

• By Charlotte Carter<br />

RESIDENTS FRUSTRATED at<br />

the lack of maintenance carried<br />

out by the city council have<br />

decided to take matters into<br />

their own hands.<br />

The Northwood Residents’<br />

Association says their suburb is<br />

suffering from a “maintenance<br />

deficit” since the earthquakes<br />

and have started a voluntary<br />

group to tidy up the area.<br />

However, the city council says<br />

it has not dropped maintenance<br />

levels in the suburb.<br />

Association president Clive<br />

Smith said the problem started<br />

after the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

“The standard of maintenance<br />

really has dropped in the past<br />

few years . . . and we understand<br />

the council has had excess<br />

expenditure in other places, but<br />

now we’ve had enough, we’re<br />

over it,” he said.<br />

Mr Smith attributes the lapse<br />

in maintenance to the system of<br />

using different sub-contractors<br />

in the area.<br />

But city council acting operations<br />

manager neighbourhood<br />

and sports parks Jane Lodge<br />

said: “The level of service in<br />

the local and sports parks<br />

maintenance contract has not<br />

dropped since the Christchurch<br />

earthquakes.”<br />

Mr Smith said the association<br />

has started recruiting through a<br />

Facebook post.<br />

It has asked for people “willing<br />

to give some time to improving<br />

areas around here.”<br />

“You may feel that we<br />

shouldn’t need to do this as<br />

we pay high enough rates. But<br />

city council only have limited<br />

budgets for this kind of thing,”<br />

the post said.<br />

Mr Smith said the association<br />

was only trying to raise the idea<br />

that they think the standard<br />

isn’t as high as it could be, and<br />

WORKING BEE:<br />

Northwood<br />

residents<br />

are fed up<br />

with a lack of<br />

city council<br />

maintenance<br />

around areas<br />

such as<br />

Waterford<br />

Reserve. ​<br />

that parts of the suburb really<br />

do look a bit shabby.<br />

Ms Lodge said the city council<br />

is willing to work with the residents<br />

to help facilitate and assist<br />

with park clean up initiatives.<br />

These music programmes fell<br />

by the wayside due to a lack of<br />

funding and leaders of the groups<br />

involved moving on, Mr Flynn<br />

said.<br />

“It was a direct result of the<br />

earthquake,” he said.<br />

BeatONE is the first of its kind<br />

aimed at getting younger students<br />

“Our programme focuses on<br />

the essential elements involved<br />

in the writing, recording and<br />

production of music,” said course<br />

co-ordinator Tom Linklater.<br />

It will cover the basics from<br />

how to use a microphone properly,<br />

right through to producing<br />

a professional sounding band or<br />

electronic recording.<br />

“The intention of the programme<br />

is to give the young<br />

people of Christchurch the opportunity<br />

to learn about the topics we<br />

cover, meet others who are interested<br />

in exploring these areas, and<br />

build a community for creative<br />

collaboration,” Mr Linklater said.<br />

Cotswold to join cycle programme<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

COTSWOLD Primary School<br />

is raising funds to install new<br />

tracks and provide bicycles for<br />

pupils.<br />

The bikes in schools<br />

programme is run across the<br />

country to get more children<br />

cycling in a safe environment on<br />

school grounds.<br />

If successful in its fundraising,<br />

Cotswold will only be the second<br />

school in the city to run the<br />

programme.<br />

Last year Rawhiti School in<br />

North New Brighton installed<br />

ACHIEVERS<br />

SPORTS<br />

three tracks and bought more<br />

than 50 bicycles, which associate<br />

principal Paula Fleming Connell<br />

said is what Cotswold wants as<br />

well.<br />

She said the school is looking<br />

to raise more than $100,000<br />

to complete the project but is<br />

well on the way with a $15,000<br />

grant from the New Zealand<br />

Transport Agency and $5000<br />

from the Southern Trust.<br />

Christchurch bikes in schools<br />

project manager Anouk<br />

Minnaar said due to the demand<br />

for construction work in<br />

Christchurch, the quotes have<br />

ACHIEVERS<br />

SPORTS<br />

been a lot higher than other<br />

regions.<br />

“The cost here is expensive<br />

because contractors have other<br />

priorities,” she said.<br />

Mrs Fleming Connell said the<br />

school wants asphalt tracks so<br />

they don’t have to be maintained<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

after they’re built – maintaining<br />

the bicycles will be cost enough.<br />

The tracks would also be open<br />

for the wider community and<br />

CBHS beat Waimea,<br />

set sights on Burnside<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

THE OPENING round of the UC<br />

Championship has begun with<br />

a number of north-west schools<br />

looking to stamp their mark on<br />

the competition.<br />

Solid work before and after the<br />

halftime break allowed Christchurch<br />

Boys’ to grab a bonus point<br />

victory over Waimea Combined<br />

in the opening round of the UC<br />

Championship.<br />

The defending champions recorded<br />

a 52-21 victory at home on<br />

Saturday, with coach Rob Smith<br />

saying the 15-minute period<br />

before and after the break was<br />

crucial.<br />

“We scored about four or five<br />

tries in that period,” Smith said.<br />

Now CBHS look towards their<br />

upcoming match against close<br />

rivals Burnside High.<br />

Burnside lost their opening<br />

round match against St Thomas<br />

64-5.<br />

Burnside first XV manager<br />

Matt White said while they started<br />

well, they left too much space<br />

out wide and were punished for<br />

it.<br />

Looking ahead, White said<br />

CBHS will be tough.<br />

“You are playing one of the top<br />

schools in the country so you<br />

know it will be tough,” he said.<br />

St Andrew’s had a bye in the<br />

opening round. They will be on<br />

Meanwhile, St Bede’s were<br />

beaten by “a better team” in their<br />

opening match, losing 15-10 to<br />

St Bede’s coach Gerry Davidson<br />

said Lincoln played the<br />

better game. St Bede’s will face<br />

Maadi Cup winning duo named<br />

in national junior rowing team<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

THEY TOOK on the best in<br />

New Zealand, now rowers Ben<br />

Taylor and Thomas Russel will<br />

take on the world.<br />

The duo have been named in<br />

the national junior rowing team.<br />

The two 17-year-old St<br />

Andrew’s College students were<br />

a part of the winning Maadi Cup<br />

squad which not only brought<br />

back the top prize for the first<br />

time in the college’s history, but<br />

the Springbok Shield as well.<br />

They will row in the four<br />

coxless at the junior world<br />

rowing championships in<br />

Trakai, Lithuania, from August<br />

2-6.<br />

Rowing is in Taylor’s blood,<br />

the last time the school raised<br />

the shield was when his father,<br />

Andrew, was in the boat 34 years<br />

ago.<br />

Now he has been named in the<br />

national squad, he said he has<br />

one up on his father.<br />

“He is really supportive, really<br />

interested and completely stoked<br />

that I have made the team,” he<br />

said.<br />

Russel made the team last year<br />

and said he was nervous going<br />

into the trials, but once he got on<br />

the water he just got stuck into<br />

his work.<br />

“I was more shocked about<br />

making it the year before, but I<br />

am still extremely happy to back<br />

that up,” he said.<br />

Taylor and Russel have been<br />

in the boat together for the past<br />

four years and both agree having<br />

each other there really pushes<br />

them to perform better.<br />

“You see each other on the<br />

water but then spend a bit more<br />

time together out of it as well,<br />

and that means we really want to<br />

push for each other,” Russel said.<br />

Taylor said he has to give<br />

credit to coach Dale Maher, who<br />

has been the “perfect finishing”<br />

coach.<br />

“He won seven jubilee cups in<br />

his eight years while coaching<br />

the Rangi Ruru Girls’ eight, so<br />

he knows his stuff,” Taylor said.<br />

Both said they are incredibly<br />

proud to be able to represent<br />

their country in a sport they<br />

love.

Get rid of dampness<br />

in your house<br />

Now wITH the colder and wetter weather<br />

on its way, home owners are focusing on<br />

ways to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />

and healthy for their families throughout<br />

winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects<br />

many of our older properties which suffer<br />

from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury<br />

especially, post-quake, many people have<br />

relocated to homes that suffer from rising<br />

damp which can be associated with health<br />

problems. Independent tests have shown<br />

that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the<br />

ground and enter a house every day, leading<br />

to mildew, mould, condensation and musty<br />

smells. moulds can produce various allergic<br />

reactions and the frail, elderly and very young<br />

are especially vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />

locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />

understands the problems caused by rising<br />

damp and are there to help. They will come<br />

to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />

flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />

floored home. Specially adapted for our<br />

New Zealand conditions and applications<br />

it provides a layer of protection against<br />

rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that<br />

the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />

have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />

of properties which had underfloor foam<br />

concrete installed, reported that it also<br />

provided protection against liquefaction after<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd<br />

now for your free, no obligation quote and<br />

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or<br />

The facts about<br />

home ventilation<br />

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />

Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />

all buildings, including residential, need to<br />

be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />

states: “The objective of this provision is<br />

to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />

many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />

ventilation over opening windows, including<br />

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />

and reduction of condensation.<br />

Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />

outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />

out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />

The incoming air from these<br />

systems has to be heated or<br />

cooled to keep the house warm<br />

in winter or cool in summer.<br />

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />

extracts air from the house and<br />

at the same time brings in fresh<br />

air. These two streams of air<br />

pass through a heat exchanger,<br />

which warms incoming air in<br />

winter and cools in summer if<br />

air conditioning is being used.<br />

This means that up to 80% of<br />

the energy which would be<br />

Balanced<br />

Pressure<br />

Ventilation<br />

wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />

system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />

energy savings and therefore lower heating or<br />

cooling costs.<br />

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation<br />

systems have been considerably more<br />

expensive than traditional positive pressure<br />

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390<br />

balanced pressure system can be installed for<br />

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure<br />

system.<br />

GO-Advanced<br />

Omega-PC Fish Oil<br />

Herbs & natural<br />

ingredients give powerful<br />

support for your<br />

immune system!<br />

It is well known how important<br />

omega-3 fatty acids are to good health. It<br />

is estimated most people don’t even get a<br />

third of the recommended omega-3 fatty<br />

acids on a weekly basis. Countries with a<br />

higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet are<br />

known to have lower cardiovascular disease<br />

and, in many cases, better overall health.<br />

Recent research has shown inflammation<br />

to be a big part of disease and the ageing<br />

process.<br />

Fish oil can help reduce inflammation<br />

by providing essential fatty acids required<br />

by the body to heal itself and maintain<br />

good health. Until now most fish oil<br />

only contained omega-3 fatty acids in<br />

triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally<br />

contain omega-3 in triglyceride and<br />

phospholipid form but until recently the<br />

phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />

manufacturing process.<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new<br />

standards in fish oil as it contains<br />

omega-3 attached to both triglycerides<br />

and phospholipids. Studies have shown<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better<br />

absorbed, leading to increased levels of<br />

vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs<br />

thru giving the potential for more health<br />

benefits.<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced<br />

from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish<br />

using a new advanced and more natural<br />

cold extraction process that better<br />

preserves the natural nutrient profile found<br />

in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP<br />

standards and is molecularly distilled to<br />

remove any containments, toxins and<br />

heavy metals.<br />

Further info on this revolutionary new<br />

fish oil and its benefits is available from<br />

the Natural Health Advisers, Naturopath<br />

and Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s<br />

Health & Natural Therapy in New<br />

Brighton, phone 388 5757. We are always<br />

happy to help!<br />

Researchers have shown that certain<br />

herbs and natural ingredients can<br />

dramatically reduce your chances of<br />

succumbing to colds and flu.<br />

Formulas like Go Healthy “Go Vir-<br />

Defence” has been based on the latest<br />

research and has already proved itself too<br />

many.<br />

Due to the high potency extracts used in<br />

this formula most will find only one or two<br />

capsule daily sufficient to keep our immune<br />

system at optimum, however at the first<br />

sign of any immune attack, e.g. headaches,<br />

sore throat, aches etc the dose should be<br />

increased to one or two capsules up to<br />

three times daily. Most will then find the<br />

symptoms will disappear quickly without<br />

getting worse.<br />

Go Vir-Defence contains the following<br />

powerful ingredients:<br />

Olive Leaf Extract has become one of<br />

the most popular ingredients used in the<br />

treatment of immune attacks as it has<br />

strong anti-microbial properties that help<br />

slow the growth of bacteria and prevent the<br />

replication of viruses.<br />

Garlic Extract is effective in combating<br />

bacteria, viruses and fungi and supporting<br />

the immune system. In general it may be<br />

used as a preventative for most infectious<br />

conditions, digestive as well as respiratory.<br />

The anti-microbial action makes it suitable<br />

for treatment of respiratory infections,<br />

influenza, recurrent colds and respiratory<br />

catarrh.<br />

Andrographis Extract has powerful<br />

immune enhancing properties and has<br />

been shown to help prevent the common<br />

cold as well as reduce the duration and<br />

severity of the symptoms of the common<br />

cold.<br />

Echinacea Extract is a natural antibiotic<br />

and infection fighter. It helps kill bacteria,<br />

viruses and fungi and provides powerful<br />

immune support.<br />

Pau D’ Arco Extract assists in enhancing<br />

the body’s immune system.<br />

Citrus Bioflavonoids work with Vitamin<br />

C and support the immune system as well<br />

as strengthening capillaries and reducing<br />

inflammation.<br />

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and<br />

helps counteract many types of bacteria<br />

and viral infections.<br />

Elderberry Extract provides nutrients for<br />

immune support.<br />

Zinc is an essential mineral for the<br />

immune system and general health. It is<br />

required by every cell in the body. It is<br />

common to have sub-optimal levels of<br />

Zinc. Zinc possesses anti-viral activity.<br />

Generally this all-natural formula is very<br />

safe and highly effective without any side<br />

effects but due to the high potency extracts<br />

used please check with us first if you are on<br />

any prescription medication. This formula<br />

is also not suitable during pregnancy or<br />

lactation.<br />

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal!<br />

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

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

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!<br />

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

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

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

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

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

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS:<br />

• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as<br />

shown in research<br />

• Advanced new cold extraction better<br />

preserves the natural nutrient profile<br />

found in fish<br />

• Naturally contains phospholipids to<br />

support cellular health<br />

• Contains vitamin D3 to support immune,<br />

bone & cardiovascular health<br />

• Supports cardiovascular health - Countries with<br />

a higher Omega-3 intake have much lower rates<br />

of heart disease<br />

• Supports blood circulation, healthy cholesterol &<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Denture technicians keep abreast of industry<br />

developments<br />

As registered members of the New<br />

Zealand Dental Council, Ryan Carlton<br />

and his fellow technicians at Dentures<br />

Plus in Innes Road are required to<br />

undertake verified training at various<br />

courses every year, to upskill and keep<br />

abreast of new developments in the<br />

industry.<br />

“For example, our technicians Thomas<br />

Gu and Nicole Yee will be attending a<br />

two-day course later this year on the<br />

fitting of first-time dentures,” Ryan says.<br />

In addition, Nicole has recently spent<br />

four weeks in India as part of a course<br />

she is undertaking on maxilo facial work,<br />

which deals with artificial eyes, ears and<br />

noses.<br />

“This is a service we may potentially<br />

offer in the future,” Ryan says.<br />

Ryan himself has recently returned<br />

from the International Dental Show,<br />

which was held in Cologne, Germany.<br />

“It’s the largest trade show in the world<br />

for the industry, with manufacturers<br />

and suppliers from all over the world<br />

showcasing their products. There were<br />

over 2300 stands – it was really eyeopening.”<br />

Ryan says he was particularly interested<br />

in how digital technology is being<br />

incorporated into dentistry, for example<br />

3D printing being used at different stages<br />

of denture manufacture such as the crown<br />

and bridge.<br />

“It’s still in the very early stages, and it<br />

needs more development, but that’s where<br />

it’s heading,” Ryan says.<br />

He believes that in the future, people<br />

that make and fit dentures will be seen<br />

as architects rather than technicians,<br />

with patients being able to download the<br />

pattern for their dentures the architect<br />

has designed on computer, and print<br />

them on a 3D machine.<br />

In the meantime, he emphasises the<br />

importance of keeping dentures clean.<br />

Dentures Plus offers a full range of<br />

products for denture cleaning including<br />

denture cleaners, brushes and denture<br />

baths for soaking the dentures.<br />

Ryan particularly recommends Caldent<br />

denture cleaner, as it is non-abrasive and<br />

effectively removes stains, calculus and<br />

plaque.<br />

“It works wonders,” he says. “Years of<br />

stains and plaque can be removed with<br />

this product.”<br />

It can be purchased through<br />

the Dentures Plus website, www.<br />

denturesplus.co.nz, for delivery anywhere<br />

in Christchurch and throughout the<br />

country.<br />

Dentures Plus, 396 Innes Road, is<br />

open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm<br />

and Friday 8am-2pm. To make an<br />

appointment for a consultation on<br />

denture fitting or repair, phone<br />
