Gillies<br />
hat at<br />
royal<br />
garden<br />
party<br />
Fire bug<br />
strikes<br />
again in<br />
Burnside,<br />
Ilam<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
AWARD-winning Merivale<br />
designer Jenny Gillies is<br />
looking forward to seeing her<br />
White Rose of York hat at one<br />
of three Buckingham Palace<br />
garden parties which start<br />
today.<br />
Each year, the palace holds<br />
three summer garden parties.<br />
Ms Gillies left the hat in the<br />
United Kingdom following the<br />
Harrogate Spring Flower Show<br />
so it could be worn at one of<br />
the coveted events.<br />

RESIDENTS ARE fearful a fire<br />
bug will claim lives after a series<br />
of sinister blazes in Burnside and<br />
Ilam.<br />
The latest fire burnt a wheelie<br />
bin against the side of an elderly<br />
woman’s home on Tudor Ave on<br />
Saturday.<br />
The Fire Service said she was<br />
lucky it didn’t spread to her<br />
house.<br />
Nearby Greers Rd resident<br />
James Wallace also had his<br />
wheelie bin set alight against the<br />
side of his property sometime<br />
after 11pm the previous weekend.<br />
His three children under the<br />
age of 10 were asleep upstairs as<br />
the bin blazed below a bedroom<br />
window.<br />
“It’s attempted murder, the<br />
wheelie bin was up against the<br />
house and could’ve set it on fire<br />
and someone could’ve died,” Mr<br />
Wallace said.<br />
He said it’s particularly worrying<br />
that whoever is doing it is<br />
going onto people’s properties.<br />
As well as potential loss of life,<br />
the fire also caused extensive<br />
damage to the side of Mr Wallace’s<br />
house, which will cost<br />
thousands to repair.<br />

WHEELIE BINS today – what<br />
next tomorrow?<br />
That’s the big worry as an<br />
arsonist operates in Burnside and<br />
Ilam.<br />
Residents have every reason to<br />
be fearful. The arsonist has set<br />
alight wheelie bins and the fires<br />
have spread to adjacent dwellings.<br />
They have been lit late at night<br />
when people are sleeping.<br />
And as the arsonist gains in<br />
confidence he (and it is likely to<br />
be a he), will almost certainly step<br />
up the campaign.<br />
Police need to find him quickly.<br />
On a brighter note, Merivale<br />
designer Jenny Gillies will have<br />
her White Rose of York hat at one<br />
of three Buckingham Palace garden<br />
parties which start today.<br />
The hat was spotted by the wife<br />
of the North of England Horticultural<br />
Society Council chairman<br />
when Jenny was at the Harrogate<br />

Tenants’ rights in focus<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
HOUSING NEW Zealand<br />
tenants are looking to develop<br />
a charter of rights with the city<br />
council.<br />
A number of the concerned<br />
tenants expressed interest in<br />
working with the city council<br />
and the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
after a meeting regarding the<br />
Government’s state housing<br />
sale-off in March.<br />
In November, Prime<br />
Minister and former Housing<br />
Minister Bill English said the<br />
Government would look to<br />
sell up to 2500 state houses in<br />
Bryndwr, Riccarton and<br />
Shirley as part of its sell-off<br />
programme.<br />
The Bryndwr Community<br />
Group has expressed concerns<br />
about what impact the sale<br />
will have on some of the most<br />
vulnerable members of the<br />
community – those who have<br />
no choice but to live in state<br />
housing.<br />
However, Marney Ainsworth,<br />
spokeswoman for the group said<br />
it was keen to work with the<br />
board and council to develop a<br />
master plan for the area.<br />
It came up in a conversation<br />

“We hope to get city council<br />

interested in working with the<br />

can have the determining<br />
voice on how the area grows and<br />

In Brief<br />
GREEN LIGHT<br />
The city council has approved a<br />
signalised pedestrian crossing<br />
in Papanui on Main North<br />
Rd, between Halliwell Ave<br />
and Proctor St, to connect the<br />
bus stops outside Northlands<br />
Shopping Centre. The signals<br />
aim to address pedestrian safety,<br />
which has been compromised by<br />
the large number of pedestrians<br />
making unsafe crossings<br />
between the bus stops.<br />
FIRST FEMALE<br />
COUNCILLOR<br />
One hundred years ago<br />
Ada Wells became the city’s<br />
first female councillor. Her<br />
achievement, paving the way for<br />
women in politics, was celebrated<br />
by the city council on Thursday.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Lianne Dalziel dedicated<br />
the city council’s Camellia room<br />
to Ms Wells. Before she became<br />
a councillor, she taught at St<br />
Albans School but was fired by<br />
the headmaster James Speight<br />
after asking for maternity leave.<br />
PUBLIC FEEDBACK<br />
Papanui city councillor Mike<br />
Davidson will set up shop at<br />
1pm tomorrow in the Papanui<br />
Library to chat and hear what’s<br />
on residents’ minds. Cr Davidson<br />
said it’s always great to hear the<br />
thoughts and views from the<br />
community.<br />

Fixing the central city<br />
Merivale<br />
businessman<br />
Rob Mercer<br />
writes about<br />
the need to<br />
improve vehicle<br />
access to the<br />
central city<br />
Pre-quake, things were starting<br />
to rot and the city council<br />
didn’t know how to fix it.<br />
There were dirty red buses<br />
with nobody on them clogging<br />
up Colombo St and overzealous<br />
parking wardens pushing<br />
people away.<br />
The city council doesn’t<br />
understand the money merrygo-round.<br />
There needs to be<br />
people in town to spend money,<br />
to attract tourists in and create<br />
more jobs.<br />
It’s a simple fact that people<br />
on buses and bikes don’t spend<br />
money.<br />
The city shouldn’t be difficult<br />
to access, but the city council<br />
is making it very difficult to<br />
access.<br />
If you want to shop, you jump<br />
in your car and drive to where<br />
it’s convenient, like a suburban<br />
mall, and that’s because they<br />
have convenient parking.<br />
We’re not London or Auckland<br />
with their traffic problems,<br />
REGENERATION: A focus on cycle lanes means the central<br />
city isn’t easy for cars to access, which is making it hard for<br />
businesses to thrive.<br />
and Christchurch has the ability<br />
to have easy access for our cars,<br />
which we are traditionally used<br />
to having.<br />
The city council’s phobia of<br />
cars is difficult to understand in<br />
the age of the electric car. In a<br />
couple of years, electric cars will<br />
be all over us.<br />
I stood up in a post-quake<br />
recovery meeting in 2012 and<br />
asked the question, to make the<br />
central city work, bearing in<br />
mind all the money was being<br />
spent in the suburbs, what<br />
percentage of that will go back<br />
into the city centre to make it<br />
work?<br />
We’re going to do things differently,<br />
they said. But they’ve<br />
missed an opportunity.<br />
Touchy subject of bike lanes<br />
on main roads – I drove down<br />
Colombo St north of the square<br />
and I felt like emigrating when<br />
I saw bike lanes on both sides<br />
of the street and all the parking<br />
gone.<br />
The narrowing of roads like<br />
Cambridge Tce is damaging<br />
businesses.<br />
THREAT: The wheelie bin was up against the side of James<br />
Wallace’s home. If the fire had of spread, it could have killed<br />
his sleeping children.<br />

Burnside, Ilam fire bug<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Mr Wallace: “Whoever it<br />
was must have used an accelerant<br />
because there was only one bag<br />
of rubbish in there, not enough<br />
to cause that much damage.”<br />
He had also heard of a for sale<br />
sign being set on fire, three other<br />
wheelie bins, a burnt car and the<br />
cover of a boat.<br />
“Four of the fires have been<br />
within 100m and there was another<br />
400m away. There will be<br />
more,” Mr Wallace said.<br />
Fire Service investigator Mark<br />
Thomas said there have been at<br />
least five in the area.<br />
“Any deliberately lit fire is<br />
treated as serious,” Mr Thomas<br />
said.<br />
The Fire Service is collating<br />
data regarding the attacks, which<br />
it will pass on to the police to<br />
help the investigation.<br />

Bid for Edgeware Pool money<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A COMMUNITY board has<br />
requested a cash injection for<br />
the Edgeware Pool be included<br />
in the city council’s Annual<br />
Plan.<br />
In its submission on the draft<br />
Annual Plan, the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board has included<br />
an application for<br />
$5 million to go<br />
towards the pool<br />
development.<br />
The request will<br />
go before the city<br />
council in June.<br />
Pauline<br />
Cotter<br />
It is being<br />
championed by<br />
the community<br />
board as a way of showing<br />
solidarity for community<br />
developments in the area, city<br />
councillor and board member<br />
Pauline Cotter said.<br />
“It’s important to note that<br />
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
Group hasn’t asked for any<br />
funding,” she said.<br />
Paul Somerville, chairman of<br />
the pool group, said he did not<br />
know the community board was<br />
making the request.<br />
The group has been planning<br />
to cover the full cost of the pool<br />
by fundraising on its own.<br />
Cr Cotter said $5 million is<br />
only a starting point, and the<br />
amount is up for negotiation.<br />
“I’m excited to see what might<br />
come out of the conversation<br />
around the council table,” She<br />
said.<br />
Depending on what stage of<br />
construction the pool is at, Cr<br />
Cotter said the funding could be<br />
earmarked for a future Annual<br />
Plan or the Long Term Plan.<br />
Mr Somerville said the group<br />
would love to have a partnership<br />
with the city council, even<br />
though the pool will be run<br />
by the community. The group<br />
secured land at 43 Edgeware Rd<br />
for $1 last year, but will have to<br />
give it back if the pool isn’t built<br />
within 10 years.<br />
“We’ve raised money in the<br />
community, about $50,000 or<br />
$60,000, to get the resource<br />
consent. The biggest thing<br />
now is to get the land,” Mr<br />
Somerville said.<br />
It comes at a time when<br />
spending on pools – including a<br />
proposed complex in Linwood,<br />
another at QE II and the inner<br />

could work for other pools,<br />

costly complexes.<br />

Said Ms Gillies: “I made it especially<br />
for the Harrogate exhibition,<br />
so when the wife of the chairman<br />
of North of England Horticultural<br />
Society council fell in love with it,<br />
saying it would look fabulous at the<br />
Buckingham Palace summer garden<br />
party to which she had been<br />
invited, how could I not leave it for<br />
her to wear?” Ms Gillies said.<br />
Ms Gillies was invited to exhibit<br />
at the Harrogate Spring Flower<br />
Show last month.<br />
She presented her Christchurch<br />
Connection exhibition, which<br />
included 15 stunning costumes, in<br />
the UK show – her first exhibition<br />
outside of Australasia.<br />
“I feel honoured being able to<br />
spread the word about our beautiful<br />
city and the rich culture visitors<br />
can expect to find when they visit<br />
us,” she said.<br />
Many visitors to the show went<br />
specifically to see Ms Gillies’<br />
exhibition, which was all about<br />
promoting Christchurch.<br />
“Although there’s been some<br />
recent negative publicity about our<br />
garden city image, I am confident<br />
it’s a blip and we will be back even<br />
stronger than before.”<br />

Modern twist on a classic<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School’s<br />
drama production this year will<br />
be Revenge of the Amazons, by<br />
Kiwi playwright Jean Betts.<br />
The play is a modern spin on<br />
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer<br />
Nights’ Dream with strong feminist<br />
themes, first performed in<br />
the early 80s.<br />
Director of Theatre Arts at<br />
Rangi Ruru, Peter Rutherford<br />
said in spite of the age of the play,<br />
the issues are still very relevant<br />
in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
“The recent American elections,<br />
the Roastbusters case and<br />
the Wellington Boys’ College<br />
scandal clearly show that instilling<br />
in our students the importance<br />
of feminist philosophies<br />
and themes are as relevant as<br />
ever,” he said.<br />
Rangi Ruru is supporting<br />
Aviva’s family and sexual<br />
violence services by taking<br />
donations of female hygiene<br />
products and gold coin donations<br />
at the door.<br />
Tickets are on sale now for<br />
the show that runs from tomorrow<br />
until <strong>May</strong> 20 at the Merivale<br />

Single-sex learning could<br />
be affected by zones<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE PRINCIPALS of Shirley<br />
Boys’ and Avonside Girls’<br />
High Schools are concerned<br />
that families across the east<br />
retain the choice of a single-sex<br />
education, regardless of whether<br />
they live in the zone.<br />
The two schools are likely to<br />
share a zone when they co-locate<br />
to new premises in 2019.<br />
Both schools are to be rebuilt<br />
at QE II Park after their existing<br />
sites were damaged in the 2011<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Their boards are currently<br />
working with each other and the<br />
Ministry of Education to try and<br />
thrash out a new, shared zone.<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
principal Sue Hume said while<br />
the zone needed to give access to<br />
those close to the new campus,<br />
it was important to preserve the<br />
choice of single-sex education<br />
for families right across the east.<br />
She said the school had always<br />
taken a significant portion of<br />
students from out of zone.<br />
“Historically we provide services<br />
for families in the east and<br />
we want to continue to give that<br />
choice to families across the east<br />
of the city.<br />
Anyone within the zone has<br />
an absolute right (to attend the<br />
school). So it can’t be too big that<br />
it can’t cope with the numbers.”<br />
DAMAGED: Avonside Girls’ High received significant damage<br />
in the Canterbury earthquakes. The school will be rebuilt on a<br />
new campus at QE II, along with Shirley Boys’ High.<br />
John<br />
Laurenson<br />
Sue Hume<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
principal John Laurenson said<br />
he would like a new zone to<br />
encompass the areas around the<br />
school’s new location, including<br />
Queenspark, Waitakiri and<br />
Prestons.<br />
Katrina Casey, deputy secretary<br />
sector enablement and<br />
support at the Ministry of Education,<br />
said changes would be<br />
made to the two schools’ current<br />
enrolment schemes “to reflect<br />
their new location.”<br />
She said the capacity of all<br />
schools in the local network<br />
must be taken into account.<br />
Rezoning to take in more<br />
populous areas could increase<br />
the number of students coming<br />
from in zone, potentially reducing<br />
choice for families elsewhere<br />
in the east.<br />
Shirley Boys’ is the only state<br />
secondary school for boys east of<br />

Hello<br />
Time to pay<br />
attention to<br />
your hair…<br />
As the cold weather approaches and<br />
styled-up winter fashions come out to play,<br />
now is the ideal time to pay some extra<br />
attention to your hair – whether it’s getting<br />
an exciting new cut, a brand-new colour or<br />
a protective and restorative treatment.<br />
Owner/operator Nickki Irvine and her<br />
team at Karamella Hairdressing in St Albans<br />
have the experience and knowledge to<br />
advise on the right cut and colour to match<br />
your skin tone, lifestyle and personality.<br />
Nickki says the colour trends for winter<br />
range from light coppery hues through to<br />
the high fashion red tones.<br />
To maintain that salon-styled look<br />
Karamella offers the smoothing blow out,<br />
an in-salon treatment for reducing frizz<br />
and creating smooth, easy-to-manage hair<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />
Loving your independence?<br />
Could this be you?<br />
Sally was referred to an Occupational<br />
Therapist (OT) as she was struggling<br />
to hear on the phone and was losing<br />
contact with her family and friends,<br />
she was wanting any help that could be<br />
useful following challenges since her car<br />
accident.<br />
She has:<br />
Ankylosing spondylitis (which is an<br />
illness that stiffens up the joints),<br />
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and is a<br />
little hard of hearing.<br />
Fracture in her upper back from a car<br />
accident in 2015<br />
Sally lives in a two storied home on a hill<br />
in native bush with her husband.<br />
She loves her home and gardening.<br />
Due to a combination of Ankylosing<br />
spondylitis and the recent upperback<br />
fracture Sally has a forward flexed spine,<br />
requiring her to bend her knees to look<br />
up.<br />
The OT visited Sally in her own home<br />
and covered the following info on the<br />
first assessment:<br />
Energy conserving techniques<br />
Regular postural changes to self manage<br />
back discomfort<br />
Problem solving Sally’s kitchen set up to<br />
minimise bending and reaching<br />
Problem solved better phone options and<br />
also where to buy a cordless amplified<br />
phone<br />
Adjusting her office set up to optimise<br />
function when using computer<br />
Having raised garden beds and garden<br />
pots on her deck,<br />
Changes in social life since accident<br />
and covered the five ways to Mental<br />
Wellbeing to maximise mental wellness.<br />
Sally feels very connected to her two<br />
storied home, which is surrounded by<br />
native bush, situated on a hill. The OT<br />
discussed the challenges and solutions to<br />
remain living in this home long term and<br />
provided insights into ways to manage<br />
this including the potential of living on<br />
one level, use of the community van and<br />
possible bathroom adaptations.<br />
Summary from Sally’s perspective:<br />
Sally reports that she was delighted with<br />
the services as:<br />
- the OT came to her house and at a<br />
time of day and day of week that suited<br />
Sally best.<br />
- there was no waiting for the service -<br />
seen within the week of referral.<br />
- it was so affordable - $135 assessment<br />
and advice<br />
- she received good advice that<br />
immediately changed her daily life<br />
(so much more than improving<br />
communication by phone)<br />
- she now has clear understanding<br />
of both the challenges and solutions<br />
that may lie ahead of her.<br />
- This resulted in less worry about<br />
the future<br />
- She was impressed that the<br />
discussion involved her love for<br />
nature (still be able to enjoy her<br />
garden) and that it was not limited<br />
to immediate need and safety<br />
She expressed that she feels more<br />
confident about staying in her much<br />
loved home. She is aware of how<br />
to access future input from the OT<br />
who now knows her well.<br />

Caring for kids through the airwaves<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
RADIO LOLLIPOP is on a<br />
mission to raise funds for a<br />
new studio.<br />
The charity broadcasts live<br />
into Christchurch Hospital<br />
and Ronald McDonald House<br />
four nights a week, providing<br />
comfort and entertainment<br />
to children having surgical,<br />
medical and acute treatment.<br />
Until now, they’ve operated<br />
out of a mobile van on a<br />
construction site by the old<br />
parkside hospital entrance.<br />
Live broadcasts are 6-8pm<br />
Monday to Thursday and<br />
volunteers visit children in the<br />
wards during the show, playing<br />
games, doing crafts and<br />
giving parents a break.<br />
When not in use, the van is<br />
parked at the Z petrol station<br />
on nearby Lincoln Rd.<br />
Now, the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board has approved<br />
the design concept for<br />
a new studio to go inside the<br />
hospital.<br />
Radio Lollipop Christchurch<br />
chairman Kieran Denton is<br />
excited by the news.<br />
“It’ll be awesome, we and the<br />
hospital are really looking forward<br />
to it. It means children<br />
will be able to come in and run<br />
their own radio shows, which<br />

ON THE MOVE: The van<br />
which Radio Lollipop<br />
currently broadcasts out<br />
of is to be replaced by a<br />
purpose-built studio inside<br />
the hospital. <br />
the interaction between volunteers<br />
and patients helped reduce<br />
the time spent in hospital<br />
and the amount of drugs the<br />
children required for pain.<br />
Radio Lollipop volunteers<br />
visited around 3000 children<br />
in Christchurch every year.<br />
The charity is part of a<br />
worldwide network running<br />
across five countries and over<br />
30 hospitals.<br />
It relies on grants and donations<br />
from the public to fund<br />
its work, which is all done by<br />
volunteers.<br />
Mr Denton said yearly running<br />
costs for the charity’s<br />
work were around $<strong>16</strong>,000 but<br />
with the new studio costing<br />
$75,000 they were initiating a<br />
fundraising drive for the extra<br />
money needed.<br />
•To make a donation go to<br />

interested in volunteering<br />
for Radio Lollipop, there’s<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />
it is located.<br />

Ultimate campus for<br />
Avonside and Shirley<br />
More than six years after earthquakes<br />
damaged their existing schools, Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School are looking forward to moving to<br />
a cutting-edge campus on QEII Park.<br />
The design for the new schools has<br />
only recently been released.<br />
Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume<br />
says being able to start from scratch has<br />
enabled the architects to come up with<br />
the ‘ultimate campus’.<br />
“It features better facilities than either<br />
of our schools has ever had in the past.<br />
We are very excited at the educational<br />
opportunities this will enable us to offer<br />
our students.”<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School Headmaster<br />
John Laurenson says the schools will<br />
continue to deliver quality single sex<br />
education.<br />
“Students will spend most of their<br />
day in a single sex environment – that<br />
is really important to us. Single sex<br />

education benefits both boys and girls.<br />
Our students will also benefit, both<br />
educationally and socially, from being<br />
able to learn alongside and mix with<br />
students from the partner school. It is a<br />
fantastic opportunity.”<br />
Among the major facilities are a large<br />
Performing Arts Centre (with a 750-seat<br />
and a 100-seat theatre), three full-sized<br />
Gyms (complete with climbing wall), a<br />
Cultural Space and four Sportsfields.<br />
Each school will also have a long list of<br />
specialist learning facilities. Highlights<br />
include an Electronics Lab, Recording<br />
Studios, Editing Suites, a 2D and 3D<br />
Printing Room, six Science Labs and<br />
an Indoor Fitness Centre (complete<br />
with exercise equipment including<br />
rowing machines, stationery bikes and<br />
treadmills).<br />
The schools are due to open on their<br />
new sites in time for Term Two of 2019.<br />
Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able<br />
to be linked for major events. The schools will also share a third gym<br />

Exercise<br />
sharpens young<br />
adult brains<br />
Regular physical activity improves brain function<br />
even in young adults considered in their prime and<br />
at the height of cognitive ability, according to a<br />
University of Otago study.<br />
A<br />
body of research already exists<br />
showing aerobic exercise<br />
improves brain function in<br />
older adults, but there is a<br />
limited amount of literature on how it<br />
affects young adults.<br />
The Otago researchers, led by<br />
Department of Psychology Senior<br />
Lecturer Dr Liana Machado, set out to<br />
test the oft-held belief that the brains of<br />
young adults in their prime might not<br />
benefit as much as older people from<br />
regular sustained exercise.<br />
They took 52 tertiary students, aged<br />
between 18 to 30, and put them through<br />
a series of cognitive tests on a computer<br />
while measuring oxygen availability in<br />
the frontal lobe of their brains, as well as<br />
their self-reported exercise frequency.<br />
Dr Machado says their “surprising”<br />
findings, just published online in the<br />
journal Psychophysiology, show that<br />
both blood supply to the brain and<br />
cognitive functioning appear to benefit<br />
from regular exercise in young adults.<br />
“This provides compelling evidence<br />
that regular exercise, at least five days per<br />
week, is a way to sharpen our cognitive<br />
ability as young adults – challenging<br />
the assumption that living a sedentary<br />
lifestyle leads to problems only later in<br />
life,” she says.<br />
The research also provides potential<br />
insight into understanding why people<br />
who regularly engage in aerobic exercise<br />
tend to function better on a cognitive<br />
level.<br />
“I think the idea that young people do<br />
not have to worry about exercising since<br />
they are in their prime developmentally<br />
is rapidly being overturned by mounting<br />
evidence that even the brains of young<br />
adults can benefit from regular exercise,”<br />
she says.<br />
“The exercise could involve brisk<br />
walking or more vigorous activity, and<br />
could be made up of a few 10 minute<br />
bouts of exercise, rather than one single<br />
block of exercise,” she says.<br />
The researchers also found that body<br />
mass index was not a key factor in how<br />
well the brain functioned, indicating that<br />
regular engagement in physical activity<br />
may be more important than body<br />
weight.<br />
Dr Machado says she had noticed<br />
over the years that university students<br />
appeared progressively less fit.<br />
“I wondered whether we might find<br />
significant relationships between exercise<br />
levels, oxygen availability in the brain,<br />
and cognition in the young adults, but<br />
no studies had considered this in healthy<br />
young adults.”<br />
These findings come at a time of<br />
increased scientific focus on links<br />
between exercise and cognitive health in<br />
older adults.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the right heat<br />
pump for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat<br />
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort<br />
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional advice from heat<br />
pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always<br />
the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but<br />
also validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<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 />
Remove<br />
cooking smells<br />
and steam!<br />
Remote<br />
extraction fans<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 />

QUEEN:<br />
IT’S A KINDA MAGIC<br />
RETURNS<br />
Aer an overwhelming reception from New Zealand<br />
audiences in 2015, Showtime Australia and Peter Freestone are<br />
bringing their huge theatrical Rock concert Queen: It's a Kinda<br />
Magic back to NZ, appearing at the Horncastle Arena on<br />
ursday 1st June.<br />
Capturing the imagination of Queen fans both locally and<br />
internationally, Director Johnny Van Grinsven attributes the<br />
show's continued success to the attention-to-detail; everything<br />
from the costumes, instruments and even the lighting cues have<br />
been designed to replicate those seen in real Queen concerts.<br />
Making Queen: It's A Kinda Magic extraordinarily authentic is<br />
the involvement of Peter Freestone, Freddie Mercury's best<br />
friend, biographer, assistant and constant companion for the<br />
nal 12 years of his life. As Production Consultant, Freestone<br />
has schooled the cast and producers on the characters and<br />
nuances of the original band in order to perfect the<br />
performance.<br />
“We're extremely lucky to have Peter involved. He knows<br />
Freddie and the boys so well; his knowledge about who they are<br />
and how they moved and played and even their sense of<br />
humour has really helped take this show to the next level,” says<br />
Johnny Van Grinsven.<br />
Another highly impressive member of the ensemble is<br />
principal musician Giles Taylor who steps on stage as Freddie<br />
Mercury, and does so as the only tribute performer in the world<br />
who sings and plays both piano and guitar live on stage.<br />
Though piano and vocals have been a mainstay in Taylor's<br />
repertoire since his childhood, he taught himself guitar<br />
specically for the role of Mercury.<br />
Supporting Taylor for this mammoth stage production are<br />
Australians Richie Baker as Brian <strong>May</strong> on guitar and Kyle<br />
ompson as Roger Taylor on drums, as well as South Africa's<br />
Steven Dennett as John Deacon on bass.<br />
