hat at<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 />

Bryndwr community so residents<br />

can have the determining<br />

voice on how the area grows and<br />

develops in the future.<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 />

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 />

Colombo St.

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 />

Last time the two teams met<br />

they could not be separated with<br />

Burnside coach David<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 />

•If you think you might be<br />

interested in volunteering<br />

for Radio Lollipop, there’s<br />

an information evening at<br />

at the YMCA on Hereford<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 />

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<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 />

Tuesday <strong>May</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 23<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 />
