Fire bug strikes again 

• By Julia Evans 

AN ARSONIST continues to 

operate in Burnside and Ilam. 

Last week Nor’West News revealed 

there have been a series of 

arson attacks in the area around 

Greers Rd where wheelie bins, a 

car and a for sale sign had been 

set alight. 

At the weekend three more 

bins were set on fire, two on 

Westburn Tce and one on Greers 

Rd. 

A police dog unit was sent to 

the area to attempt to track the 

offender or offenders at about 

3.30am on Saturday. The offender 

was not found. 

But resident James Wallace, 

whose flaming bin scorched 

the side of his house while his 

children were asleep two weeks 

ago, is not happy with the way 

the police have responded to the 

string of arsons. 

Mr Wallace said it took six 

days for police to contact him, 

and he hasn’t heard from them 

since. 

Senior Sergeant Stephan 

McDaniel said the police are currently 

investigating the 

fires. 

“We’re pushing residents 

to keep their bins in at night 

and make sure they’re not 

visible from the road,” he 

said. 

He said police take all arson 

matters seriously. 

Mr Wallace said the latest 

attack in Greers Rd was within 

100m of his property, just across 

the road. 

“It was up beside their house. 

It did damage to the ground and 

the concrete wall,” he said. 

It’s was only a matter of time 

before one of the fires spreads to 

a house and claims a life. 

“It’s not like tagging, it has the 

potential to burn a house down,” 

he said. 

One of the fires on Westburn 

Tce was also up against the side 

of the house. 

The other bin on fire on Westburn 

Tce is the second time it has 

been set alight, the Fire Service 

said. 

“Hopefully, there will be more 

public vigilance around it,” Mr 

Wallace said.

Touching tribute 

to mine disasters 


A MOVING stage performance 

about two tragic West Coast 

mining disasters had a very 

personal connection for two of 

the participants. 

Burnside High School won 

the first night of Stage Challenge 

& J Rock last Thursday, with a 

powerful performance on the 

2010 Pike River mine tragedy 

that claimed 29 lives, and the 

1967 Strongman explosion that 

killed 19 miners. 

Burnside teacher and Stage 

Challenge organiser Anastasia 

Boyle said one of the students, 

Jorja Dunbar, who performed in 

the production lost her brother

Mrs Boyle said before they 

proceeded with the theme, she 

asked Jorja to go and talk to her 

family make sure they weren’t 

going to be upset by it. 

Not only were they okay with 

the theme, they felt “so honoured” 

by the choice, she said. 

Another student Aliyah 

Prendegast’s great grand-father 

was in the Strongman Mine and 

was hauled to safety by two of his 

best mates. 

“All these close connections 

felt like fate, it was meant to be,” 

Mrs Boyle said.

THE FIRE bug continues to 

operate in Burnside and Ilam. 

The arsonist was active again at 

the weekend, setting fire to wheelie 

bins on private property – one of 

the properties now being targeted 

twice. 

Police sent a dog unit to try 

and track the offender after being 

alerted by the Fire Service. 

After what appears to have been 

an investigative delay, Nor West 

News is assured police are now 

actively trying to find the offender. 

Also on page 1 today, a very 

moving performance by Burnside 

High School which won the first 

night of Stage Challenge & J Rock. 

It is about the 2010 Pike River 

and 1967 Strongman mine disasters. 

One of the students lost a 

brother at Pike; another’s great 

grandfather was rescued from 

Strongman. Very powerful.

Community centre delayed again 


THE SHIRLEY Community 

Centre has hit yet another 

stumbling block in its recovery. 

Another delay has meant 

instead of being completed in 

2019, designs for the community 

centre won’t begin until the 

2020 to 2021 financial year. 

City 

councillor and 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board member 

Mike Davidson 

(left) said that’s 

too far away. 

“THere’s a genuine need in 

the Shirley community,” he 

said. 

Cr Davidson said the 

project has been pushed out 

too many times so it’s a matter 

of making sure it doesn’t get

pulled down in October 2012. 

pushed out too far and never 

completed.

priority” to see the centre’s 

rebuild get under way. 

“It has been on the table 

and off the table like a yo-yo,” 

she told the city council at 

the board’s draft Annual Plan 

submission. 

Ms Jones said the board had 

received a flood of emails from 

community groups wanting to 

return to the area after being 

displaced for six years. 

“It’s been dangled in front of 

that community for so many 

years now,” she said. 

In its draft Annual Plan 

submission, the board asked 

for the $153,000 earmarked for 

2020-21 to be brought forward 

to 2018-19. 

New community centres are 

being rebuilt such as those in 

Halswell, Sumner, Lyttelton, Mt 

Pleasant and even St Albans so 

the board does not understand 

why Shirley keeps being taken 

off the table. 

Last year the centre was one 

of many city council projects 

that was put on the back-burner, 

much to the frustration of the 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board. 

THe centre on Shirley Rd 

closed after significant damage 

during the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake and was pulled 

down in October 2012. 

It was utilised for meetings, 

art, pottery, yoga, karate, 

aerobics, spinning, lace-making, 

and dancing, and was largely 

self-funded.

In Brief 

GRAFFITI RISE 

THere has been little change to the 

list of suburbs most affected by 

graffiti, except in Richmond. The 

suburb has stormed its way onto 

the top-10 list in the last month, 

coming in at number five after a 

73 per cent increase. St Albans has 

always feature high on the list and 

has not changed places at number 

two but has seen a 15 per cent 

decrease in graffiti reported in the 

area throughout April. 

PAPANUI PARALLEL 

Work on the Papanui Parallel 

cycleway is expected to be 

completed before the end of the 

month. The cycleway will connect 

Northlands Shopping Centre 

and the Northern Line Cycleway 

to the central city via Colombo 

St, Rutland St, Grassmere St 

and Sawyers Arms Rd. The city 

council said it is expected to 

attract new commuters, shoppers 

and recreational cyclists alongside 

those attracted to it for its level of 

service. 

STOP SIGN FOR SAFETY 

THe give way sign at the 

McSaveneys and Marshland Rd 

intersection will be changed to a 

stop sign. This is to improve safety 

at the intersection, which now 

has restricted lines of site due to 

recent upgrades at the corner of 

Marshland and Mairehau Rd.

Ghost cities in China 

St Albans 

resident 

Margot 

Fluitsma 

writes about 

her trip China 

where she saw 

the bizarre 

phenomena of Chinese 

ghost cities 

Over the past 36 years, 

hundreds of cities have been 

built from scratch in China to 

accommodate for the country’s 

urbanisation. 

Many of these centres remain 

unoccupied. 

I witnessed these breathtaking 

sights first hand while travelling 

the country. 

It is common to see bizarre 

skylines in varying stages of 

completion. 

Identical high-rise apartment 

complexes void of people, wide 

roads void of traffic. 

Many of the projects are fullscale 

cities where you couldn’t 

see any signs of life. 

Some of these prefecture level 

ghost cities are modelled on 

iconic destinations. Most notably 

there is a copycat Paris that 

currently sits at one third of the 

occupancy rate (fun fact, there 

are at least three ‘Eifel Towers’ in 

China) and then there is a replica 

Manhattan ‘Yujiapu’ which sits 

half-finished and completely 

empty after construction ceased 

in 2010. 

These eye-wateringly ambitious 

projects were the result of 

China’s new-found prosperity 

over the course of the last halfcentury. 

The country’s burgeoning 

middle-class had few options to 

invest their money. 

Excluding real estate, Chinese 

could invest in one of two options 

the bank or the domestic 

stock market. 

But as hordes of Chinese 

continued to migrate from their 

country dwellings to urban 

centres, many investors saw real 

estate as the most prosperous 

financial move which explains 

the phenomena of ghost cities. 

In such a large and insulated 

nation as China, it is difficult 

to put an exact figure on how 

many of these centres remain 

unoccupied though the number 

BUSTLING: Once a ghost city, 

Shanghai saw a 90 per cent 

increase to its population. 

is thought to be into the high 

hundreds. 

But in a country of 1.3 billion, 

these centres will likely fill up in 

the years to come. Recent history 

has proven this already. 

Neighbouring centres to the 

greater Shanghai area that once 

had occupancy rates as low as 10 

per cent but I saw first hand that 

they are now bustling at 90 per 

cent. 

Demand will show its head but 

I think it might just might take a 

few years. 

Readers respond to an 

article about Housing 

New Zealand tenants 

developing a charter of 

rights with the city council 

Gary Knight – With the 

revelation by Prime Minister 

Bill English, for sale of up to 

2500 state houses in November 

rationale must prevail over this 

issue. 

In many cases the proposed 

sell-off would have a devastating 

effect on tenants in the Bryndwyr, 

Riccarton and Shirley 

areas where this is destined to be 

actioned. 

A myriad of tenants having 

through varying circumstances 

little or no choice but to reside 

in a state house are facts that Mr 

English as former housing minister 

would be aware of and must 

consider this vital aspect prior to 

any sell off. 

It is imperative that amalgamation 

between the city 

council and Fendalton-Waimari- 

Harewood Community Board 

emulates in a master plan for 

residents in these three areas 

to state their views, concerns 

and queries relative to inherent 

growth, future development and 

precise community status.

story of business owners

concerned over loss of 

parking outside their shops 

Rob Eder – Always thought 

cars were allowed to park too 

close to the corner, need to lose 

two or three parks back to make 

it safer and easier turning around 

the corner. If the shops are any 

good, people will still go there. 

Jennie Moreton – You can 

never get a park outside these 

shops anyway so it won’t change 

anything. People in this city 

need to stop expecting to get a 

park right outside the door of 

everywhere they go. Park down 

the road and walk to the shop or 

better still walk from home. 

Heather Stricke – Waste 

of money to change that corner 

there are not that many kids 

crossing the road.

Fresh water from new wells 

A $15 million programme to 

replace shallow wells supplying 

water to 80,000 residents in the 

north-west is progressing well, 

with all those residents now 

receiving water from 14 new deep 

wells. 

The remaining unconfined 

shallow wells are being 

upgraded as it is possible that 

microbiological contaminants in 

surface water could seep into the 

aquifer. 

In September last year, city 

council agreed to fast-track 

work to drill deeper wells in the 

north-west as a response to the 

contamination event in Havelock 

North which heightened 

concerns about water quality 

nationwide. 

Workers take samples from the 

new Avonhead well. 

City council planning 

delivery manager three waters 

and waste John Moore said the 

programme was progressing 

well, with 14 out of 28 new wells 

already commissioned and in 

use. 

“In terms of the physical 

drilling, we are halfway there 

which is great progress and on 

target for our planned finish in 

June 2019. 

“We’ve already been able to 

decommission six of the old 

wells and have turned off the 

UPGRADE: Workers take samples from the new Avonhead well. 

remaining old wells. As a health 

and safety issue, we need to 

retain the option to turn those 

old wells back on until work is 

complete on all 28 of the new 

wells and we have them all fully 

functional.” 

Mr Moore said the current 

water grading on the shallow 

wells was D, compared to a B 

grading across the rest of the city 

where drinking water is sourced 

from secure, deep wells. 

The north-west water supply 

zone stretches from Belfast 

through to Yaldhurst and 

includes parts of Riccarton and 

Addington, supplying 80,000 

people. 

“We’ve got an excellent 

working relationship with the 

Canterbury District Health 

Board and they’re happy with the 

progress we are making on this 

programme. It is a huge project 

that started in 2012 and is going 

to continue for two more years, 

costing around $15 million. In 

the end we will have a secure 

supply of high-grade drinking 

water for the north west of the 

city.” 

Mona Vale dilemma 


ARTISTS ARE queuing up for a 

live-in residency opportunity at 

Mona Vale. 

But red tape is holding them 

back. 

Earthquake repairs to the 

Mona Vale gatehouse on 

Fendalton Rd are on track to 

be completed by early 

December. 

But after a briefing from city 

council staff, the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board turned down a 

recommendation that the city 

council would cover the cost of 

any residency. 

The initial proposal meant 

the city council would cover the 

full cost of artist’s rent for the 

gatehouse, which the board did 

not think was appropriate. 

“The artist may leave behind 

some artworks but they would

gatehouse, which

be living rent-free,” board chairman 

David Cartwright said. 

However, during the city 

council’s draft Annual Plan submissions 

city councillor Vicki 

Buck questioned how close it 

was to finding someone suitable. 

She said she’d been approached 

by several groups who 

were desperate for it. 

“There are a number of groups 

of artists in residence that do 

want to pay rent for that site,” Cr 

Buck said. 

Mr Cartwright said the board 

was currently looking at alternatives 

in which it might partner 

with Canterbury University or 

Ara, which already have residence 

programmes. 

“It’s a work in progress,” he 

said. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told 

the board it would have to find 

someone suitable before the 

gatehouse is repaired.

Emergency 

response 

items sought 


THE BELFAST Emergency 

Response Plan has expanded, as a 

result of the tsunami alert after the 

November 14 Kaikoura earthquake. 

The plan began in 2014 as a 

community run response for Civil 

Defence emergencies. 

However, it has now expanded to 

include Spencerville and the Prestons 

subdivision, which are closer 

to the coast. 

City council northern strengthening 

communities adviser Christine 

Lane said it’s a collaboration between 

the city council and community 

associations. It includes the Belfast 

Community Network, Belfast 

Rugby Club, Belfast Primary School, 

Northwood and Belfast Residents’ 

associations, Belfast Bowls Club, the 

Belfast Pharmacy and Belfast Medical 

Centre, Salvation Army and the

Park acts as a hub, which Ms Lane 

said is currently seeking donations. 

“The next phase is to do more 

marketing and get the container 

filled with things that are relevant,” 

she said. 

Items sought include blankets, 

rope, torches, axes and ladders. 

Library being demolished 

Work has begun on demolishing the 

old Bishopdale Library. Although 

the Farrington Ave library was not 

completely written off by the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, the damage was 

significant enough that it was deemed 

earthquake-prone and not fit for use. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board approved removing 

the building and will begin talks about 

what to do with the site once it is clear. 

Touching tribute to mine disasters 

•From page 1 

Aliyah brought in a necklace 

her great-grandfather had 

carved into the shape of a heart 

for his fiancé out of coal from 

the mine. 

But not only was it powerful, 

it was personal for two of the 

100 year 9 and 10 students who 

were a part of the performance. 

Although there were tears 

before, after and during the performance, 

she said it sent chills 

up her spine seeing the students 

perform with such passion. 

Performance judge Chris 

Kirk said the performance was 

“touching.” 

“It was extremely personal 

but they didn’t let it hold them 

back,” he said.

Project to improve health 

A GROUP of five Canterbury 

health organisations are 

collaborating to help improve 

the lives of the region’s Pacific 

communities through their 

churches. 

The initiative known as 

the ‘Tutupu Project’ has been 

widely welcomed. 

Seven churches 

from around 

Christchurch 

and as far afield 

as Ashburton 

and West 

Melton are 

Maria 

Pasene 

participating in 

a nine-month 

commitment 

to educate and empower 

nominated ‘health champions’ 

who will then take information 

back to their communities. 

“I wanted to be involved in 

the Tutupu Project because 

this is an opportunity for me 

to learn and gather information 

about health, so I can then 

pass on to my family, church 

and community,” said Teuila 

Saafi, youth leader of Christchurch’s 

Tongan Seventh Day 

Adventist. 

Pegasus Health, Community 

and Public Health, Rural Canterbury 

PHO, Etu Pasifika and 

Healthy Families Christchurch 

will mentor the health champions 

in nutrition, exercise and 

ways to improve their health 

literacy. 

Pegasus Health’s Pacific 

health manager and project 

leader, Maria Pasene, said the 

health champions will attend 

health education sessions to 

expand their knowledge about 

nutrition and the importance 

of physical activity with a particular 

focus on children and 

young people. 

“We have discussed the ways 

in which Pacific peoples can 

help clinicians to assist them 

in their health journey. This 

includes pushing past their 

natural shyness, speaking 

up and providing important 

information at visits to the GP 

and hospital and asking questions 

when they aren’t sure 

about what’s being discussed. 

It’s important to assert our 

needs to improve our communities’ 

health.” 

Ms Pasene said Pacific communities 

were at a point where 

BREAKOUT: 

Health 

champions 

taking an 

exercise break. 

they see themselves as part of 

the solution rather than the 

problem. 

“They are willing to investigate 

ways to improve 

the health of their families 

and communities. We have 

the ability to link them to 

resources and services that will 

work with them in a way that 

makes sense, such as church 

environments where Pacific 

peoples naturally connect, support 

and communicate with 

each other.”

Neighbour 

Hello 

A taste of Germany 

Sunday and Monday are rest days. 

Tuesday is “back into business” day. 

Wednesday afternoon, from 2.30pm 

to 5pm, is Happy Coffee Hour day, 

with hot drinks and cake so cheap 

you might want to have more than 

one. Thursday is Black Forest Gateau 

day. Friday is pork hocks day, with 

the hocks selling out so fast that 

you better pre-order one. And 

Saturday, well, that’s the day when 

everyone needs everything for the 

weekend. Sauerkraut, potato salad, 

sausages for the BBQ, smallgoods, 

cheeses, fresh bread and a spread 

named “Fleischsalat” – which is 

a delightful mixture of chopped 

smallgoods, gherkins, spices and 

mayonnaise. It is very German, like 

most of the delicacies that are available at 

Café Berlin, a German deli and café at the 

corner of Normans and Wairakei Roads in 

Strowan. As is the owner, Anneke Molly, 

who opened the place in July 2015. 

Molly has come a long way since. 

Originally a chartered accountant, the 

48-year old has upped her skills in the 

food and hospitability sector. She has 

learnt fast how to make perfect espresso 

coffees (Hummingbird), she bakes the 

popular bee sting (Bienenstich), a cake 

filled with custard cream and topped 

with caramelised almonds, and together 

with two staff she prepares meatballs, 

currywurst, potato salad and warming 

winter soups that are on offer at the café. 

Bread, rolls and pretzels (Brezeln) are 

sourced from a German baker, and the 

grainy rolls, pretzels and pretzel sticks 

freshly baked on site several times a 

day. A few German butchers deliver the 

traditional smallgoods and a huge variety 

of sausages that are made with imported 

herbs and spices. “All our meat 

products are gluten-free, without 

gluten substitution, and are of the 

highest standard”, says Molly who 

also orders products on demand. 

The fresh cheeses come from 

Germany, the Netherlands, France 

and Switzerland. Mixed platters 

(eat-in, takeaway and catering) are 

bestsellers. 

The shelves are filled with pantry 

items like Sauerkraut, red cabbage, 

potato dumplings, pickled gherkins, 

German vinegar, mustards and custards, 

as well as a wide variety of sweets, from 

chocolate over Haribo gummibears to 

Niederegger marzipan. Next on the menu 

will be Maultaschen, a meat-filled pasta 

speciality looking like oversized ravioli, 

and poppyseed cake (Mohnkuchen) during 

winter. 

Although the place sometimes is 

brimming with backpackers from overseas 

who miss European bread, Germans make 

only about 40 per cent of the 

customers. “Locals who have 

travelled and go in for quality 

love our café”, says Molly who 

is not from Berlin but from a 

city named Einbeck in Lower 

Saxony. The Berlin name and 

theme of the café has been 

chosen because everyone 

knows the capital of Germany 

– and Berlin is easier to 

pronounce than Köln or 

München… 

Cafe Berlin is open 

Tueday to Saturday and 

is located at 9c Normans 

Road, Strowan, phone 

355 0932.

CBHS take top spot 

in UC Championship 

SPORTS 

St Andrew’s first IX 

fight for fourth place 

• By Andrew King 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ 

High are at the top of the UC 

Championship table with a 

convincing 76-3 win over Aoraki 

Combined on Saturday, and 

were the only north-west team to 

record a victory in round four. 

The defending champions 

leaped Nelson College into the 

top spot after the boys from the 

north had a bye. 

Up 45-3 at half-time, CBHS 

kept the foot on the throttle with 

first-five Ryan Barnes bagging 29 

points, including a hat-trick and 

seven conversions, and Jack Harris 

in his first start also grabbing 

three tries on the left wing. 

CBHS coach Rob Smith said 

it was a testament to doing the 

basics well and playing for the 

full 80 minutes. 

Looking ahead to their home 

game against Mid-Canterbury 

Combined, Smith said they will 

be wary about the physical nature 

the boys from down south 

play with. 

Meanwhile, St Bede’s had their 

first loss to St Thomas since 1983 

when they went down 27-15 at 

home on Saturday. 

On top of missing out on 

competition points, they also

his debut start on the left wing.

relinquished their hold on the 

Catholic Schools Trophy, 

which St Bede’s have held for 10 

years. 

The trophy is competed for by 

St Bede’s, St Thomas, Timaru’s 

Roncalli College and Oamaru’s 

St Kevin’s College. 

St Bede’s will turn their 

attention to their upcoming 

home match against Burnside on 

Saturday. 

Burnside remain at the bottom 

of the table without a win after 

being beaten 33-10 by Waimea 

Combined. 

St Andrew’s travelled north 

and were narrowly beaten by 

Rangiora 28-22. 

St Andrew’s spent their first 

week of the competition on 

the sideline with a bye before 

travelling for the next three 

rounds, recording two solid 

away wins over Marlborough 

and Aoraki Combined before 

their first defeat to Rangiora. 

Now they will relish their first 

home game against Lincoln on 

Saturday. 

• By Andrew King 

ST ANDREW’S have cracked the 

top four in the Connetics first XI 

football competition and will look 

to continue their winning ways 

when they meet Christchurch 

Boys’ High in round four at 

5.45pm tomorrow. 

The match-up between fourth 

placed St Andrew’s and 12th 

placed CBHS at Christchurch 

Football Centre will be an opportunity 

for CBHS to get their 

first win under their belt, while St 

Andrew’s will want to keep up the 

pressure on the top teams. 

CBHS come off a bye, while 

St Andrew’s had a great outing 

against St Bede’s with a 5-0 win. 

St Andrew’s coach Matthew 

Jansen said CBHS put a dent in 

their push for nationals last year 

when they beat them 3-2, and 

they will be looking to right that 

wrong. 

“(CBHS) are a tough squad and 

will really be raring for the game 

but so will we,” he said. 

He said standout performances 

from striker Declan Hickford, 

who scored four goals, and goalkeeper 

Ralph Clink, who kept a 

clean sheet, contributed to a really 

good result against St Bede’s. 

Meanwhile, Burnside and Pa-

Bede’s. 

panui will square off against each 

other at 4pm in another northwest 

derby in which both teams 

will be looking to add to their 

season total of a win a piece. 

Burnside gave a solid showing 

against table-topping Cashmere in 

round three, ending the game 4-4. 

Papanui lost 2-0 to Middleton 

Grange and will look to turn their 

form around. 

St Bede’s will face Cashmere at 

7.30pm tomorrow in an attempt 

to knock them off the top of the 

table. 

Cashmere could be slightly 

distracted with their upcoming 

match against Waimea College 

where they will challenge for the 

equivalent of the Ranfurly Shield, 

the Alex Harvey Industries Cup, 

in the Nelson region. 

The last time Cashmere played 

St Bede’s, they took the three 

points with a 1-0 win.

changed. The research now shows that 

the sensitisation of the brain stem in 

your neck is what causes this pain; and 

the specially trained physiotherapists at 

Muscle People are well versed in how to 

treat it. 

Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle 

People, had this to say about her 

experience: “My migraines were 

debilitating and they’d often come without 

warning. Sometimes once a week, but 

generally about once a month. I’d moved 

up from Dunedin where I’d managed them 

with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In 

Christchurch I was so reluctant to let 

anyone near my neck. I read the article 

and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I 

went to the first appointment with a page 

of all the concerns I had. The first time I 

met Laurie I remember walking out and 

feeling more in control. After about four 

treatments with Laurie and perfecting the 

technique she taught me I truly began to 

reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I 

feel a migraine coming on I now have the 

control to manage it myself, even stopping 

them from taking over, without needing 

someone to drive me in to the osteopath 

or the hospital for an injection to relieve 

the pain. With the technique Laurie 

taught me I’m armed and dangerous!” 

Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained 

in Australia in the award winning and 

ground breaking Watson Approach to 

dealing with headaches and migraines. 

This proven method examines and treats 

the movements of the first three segments 

of the neck, which when sensitised cause 

headaches and migraines. 

“In our clinics we see people from 

as far away as Invercargill who come 

to us specially to seek treatment” says 

Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People 

Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium 

in Australia we went to just recently 

reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we 

do, and honed our skills even more.” 

Generally patients will come to our 

clinic four or five times in the first few 

weeks of treatment. We show them some 

very simple exercises to do at home. After 

the first few weeks, treatment sessions are 

guided by how the patient is feeling. 

“Often patients come to us at the end 

of a long journey having tried quite a few 

other treatments, and we are able to help 

them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie 

says. 

“If I feel a migraine 

coming on I now have 

the control to manage 

it myself.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Time Honoured 

Remedy 

1 in 2 People 

Deficient in B12 

According to a country Doctor “D.C. Jarvis” 

from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and 

honey (CV & H) can be an important part of 

a long healthy life. Dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters 

who regularly consumed cider vinegar and 

honey had excellent health with many putting 

in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even 

when well into their eighties. 

Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar 

and honey on arthritis can be remarkable 

with many patients reporting almost total 

relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar 

and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid 

and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted 

calcium deposits and helped the body control 

calcium use. 

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found 

regular administration of cider vinegar and 

honey at the onset of complaints such 

as the common cold, sinusitis, 

asthmatic attacks, hay fever, 

and childhood diseases 

such as chicken pox 

and measles, was 

accompanied by 

an improvement 

in the condition 

with symptoms 

either disappearing, 

or the conditions were 

extremely mild and soon 

over. 

Apple cider vinegar contains all the goodness 

of the apple in a form that is readily accepted 

by the body. Scientists have found over 90 

different substances in ACV, among them 20 

important trace elements, minerals, essential 

enzymes, a number of different acids including 

malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the 

form of potash and pectin. A scientific study 

at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven 

ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It can 

destroy free radicals, which are a major factor 

in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down 

cholesterol formations in the blood vessels. 

ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also 

promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients 

and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize 

any toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all cider vinegar 

is made in the traditional way and results are 

likely to prove disappointing with these other 

vinegars.

Emerging research has shown as 

many as 50% of older adults and as 

many as 25% of younger adults are 

deficient in vitamin B12. Scientists at 

Rush University Medical Center found 

those most deficient in vitamin B12 to 

have the smallest brain mass and the 

lowest scores on tests measuring shortterm 

memory, concentration and brain 

performance. Another study showed 

that older people with higher levels of 

B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier 

brains and score higher on cognitive 

tests than those with lower levels. Yet 

another recent landmark study showed 

that B12 supplementation slows the 

accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and 

declining cognitive function. B12 is essential 

for energy production, cell health, regulation of 

mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair, 

and prevention of homocysteine a serious 

cardiovascular risk factor that is known to 

cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. 

It can also increase the chances of a stroke. 

Harvard researchers found a 34% decrease risk 

of vision loss in a study of participants aged 

40+ who supplemented with B12. Another 

study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in 

subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 appears 

to be our body’s ability to absorb it declining 

with age as the digestive system becomes less 

efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other 

drugs further reduce B12 absorption. The good 

news is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin 

sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the 

mouth and thru bypassing the digestive tract 

have been shown to effectively raise B12 levels 

in the body.
