US treatment for Maddie<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
MADDIE COLLINS has spent<br />
most of her life battling kidney<br />
failure – now the 13-year-old<br />
St Margaret’s College student<br />
has been dealt another lifethreatening<br />
blow.<br />
She was told last week while at<br />
Starship Hospital for kidney treatment<br />
that her heart is also failing.<br />
If Maddie had a successful<br />
kidney transplant, her heart could<br />
recover, but without one, she<br />
would be at risk of a heart attack,<br />
her mother Sarah Manson Collins<br />
said.<br />
The news had hit Maddie and<br />
the whole family hard, she said.<br />
“She was in the room when they<br />
told us and she said, ‘okay, how<br />
many months have I got to live?’<br />
We said, ‘no, it’s not like that,<br />
you’re going to be okay,’” she said.<br />

HOPEFUL: Maddie Collins and her mum Sarah Manson Collins learned last week that Maddie’s<br />
kidney disease has caused early stage heart failure – but they are hopeful she will recover with<br />
quick treatment.<br />

YOU HAVE to hand it to Maddie<br />
Collins - she’s one heck of a plucky<br />
13-year-old.<br />
Life threatening conditions, yet<br />
she still has time for a huge smile<br />
for the camera (see page 1).<br />
Maddie’s health battles have<br />
been documented a lot over the<br />
past year as her family tries to<br />
raise $350,000 for kidney treatment<br />
in the United States.<br />
More than $80,000 has so far<br />
been raised but there’s a lot more<br />
needed.<br />
She’s earmarked to go there next<br />
month, the first step in what will<br />
be a long – and hopefully – successful<br />
process.<br />
On another medical note, congratulations<br />
to retired cardiologist<br />
Hamid Ikram named in the<br />
Queen’s Birthday Honours yesterday<br />

much. He was instrumental in the<br />

Church-goers targeted<br />
Cars broken<br />
into while<br />
parishioners<br />
in mass<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
PEOPLE attending church<br />
during the evening have<br />
been coming out to find their<br />
cars broken into, with one<br />
parishioner losing $5000.<br />
Cars parked at St Teresa<br />
of Lisieux Parish on Puriri<br />
St, Riccarton, and Our Lady<br />
of Victories Parish on Main<br />
South Rd, Sockburn, have<br />
been targeted on Saturday and<br />
Sunday nights in recent weeks<br />
while the owners attended mass.<br />
St Teresa priest Father Antoine<br />
Thomas said little things like<br />
passports and bags had been<br />
taken from cars. A woman<br />
returned to her car a few months<br />
ago to find it had been broken<br />
into and $5000 missing.<br />
Father Antoine said he did<br />
not know why the woman had<br />
$5000 in her vehicle.<br />
“There must be a really<br />
well-organised gang getting<br />
around. We have installed<br />
more lighting, spoken with<br />
community watch and asked<br />
for volunteers to patrol the car<br />
park,” he said.<br />
Sixty-four cars were broken into<br />
last week in the Riccarton, Upper<br />
Riccarton and Sockburn areas.<br />
Two cars were stolen and<br />
another four attempts had been<br />
made to steal other cars after the<br />
owners discovered the ignition<br />
barrels had been forced, police<br />
said.<br />
Majority of the cars were<br />
targeted on Centennial Ave, Rattray<br />
St, Matipo St, Mandeville<br />
St and Brockworth Pl, with 20<br />
broken into on Saturday night<br />
alone.<br />
It comes after about 12<br />
vehicles were broken into<br />

Said Senior Sergeant Pete<br />
Stills: “These thefts are a pain in<br />
the proverbial to the owners as<br />
there is very little taken normally,<br />
but the clean-up cost is often<br />
time-consuming and costly.’’<br />

information can also be<br />
reported anonymously to<br />

•From page 1<br />
Kidney problems can force the<br />
heart to pump harder, putting a<br />
lot of strain on it. An American<br />
study has found children on<br />
dialysis for kidney problems were<br />
1000 times more likely to have a<br />
fatal heart attack.<br />
The family has been fundraising<br />
to take Maddie to The John<br />
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,<br />
United States, next month where<br />
more advanced treatment may<br />
make it easier to match a donated<br />
kidney.<br />
In 2012, her father, Adam<br />
Collins, donated one of his<br />
kidneys to Maddie, but her body<br />
rejected it.<br />
“We know we’re fighting<br />
uphill to find a match for Maddie,<br />
but you’ve got to believe in<br />
miracles,” Mrs Manson Collins<br />
said.<br />
The treatment offered in the<br />
United States would make it less<br />
likely Maddie’s body would reject<br />
a donated kidney.<br />
However, it comes at a price –<br />
the full treatment is expected to<br />
cost about $350,000.<br />
Givealittle pages have already<br />
raised more than $80,000 for<br />
Maddie, and people in the community<br />
had also been incredibly<br />
generous, Mrs Manson Collins<br />
said.<br />
Many people, from family<br />
members to total strangers, had<br />
also volunteered to be tested to<br />
see if their kidneys might be a<br />
match for Maddie.<br />
She had no idea how many,<br />
as the family were not allowed<br />
to know unless a match was<br />
found.<br />
But even though none so far<br />
had matched Maddie, Mrs Manson<br />
Collins said every person<br />
willing to donate an organ had<br />
helped someone.<br />
“It’s not just about Maddie. We<br />
don’t have enough organ donors<br />
and that’s what this is about, so<br />
if I can make more people talk<br />
about organ donations I’ll have<br />
succeeded.<br />
“People say she looks so well,<br />
she looks so healthy, but you don’t<br />
see kidney failure until you lift up<br />
her shirt and see all those lines in<br />
her body,” she said.<br />
But she said Maddie’s love for<br />
animals, the people around her<br />
and her passion for life kept her<br />
strong.<br />

$122m highway progressing<br />
Belfast bypass<br />
now 80 per<br />
cent complete<br />
THIS IS what the Western<br />
Belfast Bypass looks like two<br />
years after work started.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency released drone footage<br />
this week of the $122 million<br />
project which will see a new<br />
four-lane, 5km stretch of highway<br />
constructed.<br />
Bypassing Belfast, it will extend<br />
the Christchurch Northern<br />
Motorway (SH1) and connect<br />
into State Highway 1/Johns Rd,<br />
west of The Groynes entrance.<br />
The bypass is part of the Government’s<br />
Christchurch Roads<br />
of National Significance programme,<br />
a multi-million dollar<br />
plan to make it easier and safer<br />
to travel throughout Christchurch<br />
and the Canterbury region.<br />
NZTA Christchurch highways<br />
manager Colin Knaggs said the<br />
project, which got under way two<br />
years ago this month, is about 80<br />
per cent complete.<br />
“Over 375,000 hours have<br />
been worked on this project so<br />
PROGRESS: Drone images over the Western Belfast Bypass shows the 2km stretch of road<br />
previously out of view of the public.<br />
far and it is progressing well as<br />
this drone footage shows,” Mr<br />
Knaggs said.<br />
“The Fulton Hogan construction<br />
team are currently focusing<br />
on three new bridges which will<br />
carry the Western Belfast Bypass<br />
above Groynes Dr and Dickeys<br />
Rd, and over a new onramp that<br />
will link Main North Rd to the<br />
Northern Motorway.”<br />
These three structures are a<br />
major part of the project and<br />
are now close to being finished<br />
which is a great milestone for the<br />
project team.<br />
Mr Knaggs said a lot of the<br />
work that went into these bridges<br />
is underground, hidden from<br />
view.<br />
“Before the project team<br />
could start building they had to<br />
carry out ground improvement<br />
work, constructing around 2400<br />
columns of gravel and stone into<br />
the ground to make it denser,”<br />
he said.<br />
“This reduces the effects of<br />
liquefaction and ensures the<br />
bridge embankments remain<br />
stable, preventing damage to<br />
the bridge structures during an<br />
earthquake.”<br />
In addition, more than 30 steel<br />
encased reinforced concrete<br />
piles support each structure and<br />
extend 18 to 20m below ground<br />
level.<br />
The drone footage shows the<br />
2km long mid-section of the<br />
project which has been out of<br />
public view during construction.<br />
“Aside from some road<br />
marking and other minor<br />
finishing touches, this section<br />
of the project is also close to<br />
being finished,” Mr Knaggs<br />
said.<br />
Over the next two months the<br />
project team will be working to<br />
reopen the new-look entrance<br />
to The Groynes and finishing a<br />
new pedestrian subway that will<br />
take Waimairi Walkway and<br />
Otukaikino Track users under<br />
the Western Belfast Bypass near<br />
Dickeys Rd, along with other<br />
road work.<br />
The bypass is expected to be<br />
completed by early 2018.<br />

Jaz Tuihana Vivian<br />
Tomboy takes non gender-based<br />
Jaz Tuihana Vivian, 22,<br />
is making her mark in<br />
the fashion world with<br />
her unconventional<br />
clothing range. She<br />
talks to Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
Tell me about your fashion<br />
brand Losers Are Cool (LAC<br />
Crews)?<br />
I have always kind of had the<br />
dream of doing a tomboy clothing<br />
line but I have never really<br />
known enough about it. So I<br />
did a business course last year<br />
and it made me a little bit more<br />
confident about releasing it. A<br />
couple of my friends are in the<br />
fashion industry. I bounced ideas<br />
off them, came up with a name,<br />
put it all together and released it.<br />
There is actually nothing online<br />
that is purely tomboy clothing.<br />
What I wanted to do was take<br />
away that awkward shopping<br />
down the wrong aisle thing and<br />
make it all online so people<br />
don’t have to go into the shop.<br />
What made you realise you<br />
were a tomboy?<br />
I have always been a tomboy<br />
out playing rugby and getting<br />
muddy with the boys. I am not<br />
a girly girl at all. Mum always<br />
tells me about when I was<br />
a kid she would dress me<br />
in a pretty pink dress and<br />
then I would go steal<br />
my brothers’ clothes just<br />
before we were about to<br />
go out. I played rugby<br />
for eight years. I had to<br />
take time off this year<br />
because it was getting<br />
too busy but I am into<br />
staying fit and<br />
healthy. It<br />
makes you feel better at the<br />
end of the day.<br />
Tell me about your<br />
idea to have non-gender<br />
based clothing?<br />
I think these days<br />
in our society you<br />
know everyone is<br />
breaking down the<br />
barriers. And a lot<br />
of things have come<br />
to head that you know<br />
back in the day<br />
would be<br />
scorned upon. I think with everyone<br />
breaking down these barriers<br />
why not me as well. I don’t<br />
understand why there is girl and<br />
boy clothing – it just puts that<br />
line in the middle.<br />
Have you always had a passion<br />
for equality?<br />
Just growing up being a tomboy<br />
you always have your battles.<br />
You have people at school and<br />
stuff saying things to you and<br />
it makes high school really uncomfortable.<br />
I thought if I could<br />
make it easy for people that are<br />
younger, that is me doing my bit.<br />
Was it a mission creating<br />
these clothes?<br />
It was a big mission but like I<br />
said, I had a few friends in the<br />
fashion industry so I bumped<br />
heads with them and thought<br />
what isn’t working about the<br />
clothes now and what I can improve<br />
on. Together we came up<br />
with a few ideas. I made it very<br />
basic so I can add onto it. My<br />
sister Jayde Vivian is an upcoming<br />
model so she was my model<br />
and her friends are interested in<br />
photography. Everything about it<br />
means a lot to me. It hasn’t been<br />
about making money. It is about<br />
making a difference.<br />
How did you get into the<br />
business side of things?<br />
Definitely, I left high school at<br />
year 12. I was never into school<br />
but I knew I had to carry on<br />
doing something so I went to the<br />
New Zealand Institute of Sport<br />
thinking I would be a personal<br />
trainer and then I did a marketing<br />
paper in the curriculum. It<br />
was just what we had to do and<br />
I aced it. My teacher pulled me<br />
aside and said that was the best<br />
marketing paper she had seen.<br />
I was like why don’t I venture<br />
from that and do something with<br />
it rather than sitting in a gym<br />
all day. That is when I got into<br />
business. I was the class clown at<br />
school and it is a better<br />
feeling being successful now having<br />
not actually enjoyed school<br />
at all.<br />
What were your experiences<br />
like at school and how did you<br />
stay true to yourself?<br />
I had a lot of support from<br />
my family. Especially my mum.<br />
We have quite an open relationship.<br />
When I came home from<br />
school she could tell I was upset.<br />
I think that was the best. There<br />
were a few teachers at school I really<br />
related to. I think a mixture<br />
of that and people telling me I<br />
am unique is what pulled me<br />
through. But I definitely got bullied<br />
a lot.<br />

Getting out of school must<br />
have been the best for you?<br />
Absolutely, I was definitely a<br />
misfit. But I wouldn’t encourage<br />
anyone to just drop out of school<br />
- you have definitely got to have a<br />
plan. Mum said as soon as I had a<br />
plan I could sign out.<br />
How did you come up with the<br />
Losers are Cool idea?<br />
It just stemmed from school.<br />
I thought you look around the<br />
classroom and you have your popular<br />
kids, nerdy kids and out-right<br />
losers. The losers end up being the<br />
ones everyone wants to be around<br />
because they are genuinely the<br />
most successful ones.<br />
Do you think people began to<br />
look at you more positively as<br />
you all got older?<br />
Yes definitely, I have people<br />
messaging me now saying: ‘I<br />
know we didn’t get on at school<br />
but what you are doing is awesome.’<br />
You get the support from<br />
those that influenced you to do<br />
this. It makes you feel a lot better.<br />
It all happened for a reason.<br />
What are your other passions?<br />
I work in hospitality as a bar<br />
tender at The Sideline Sports Bar<br />
in Richmond. I do my clothing<br />
line throughout the day. My job<br />
opened my eyes. I have been at the<br />
bar almost four years. I think being<br />
in the hospitality industry and<br />
seeing people from all walks of life<br />
has opened my eyes to equality<br />
issues in society. Everyone should<br />
be themselves and not be put<br />
down.<br />
What do you think of the<br />
Southbridge community?<br />
I love going to my mum’s in<br />
Southbridge. The people there<br />
are genuinely interested in what<br />
everyone is doing. I know you get<br />
the small town stuff but people are<br />
interested in you going far. I like<br />
that aspect of country life. Everyone<br />
is genuinely happy and they<br />
have been supportive to people of<br />
all ages. One of my mum’s friends<br />
bought my own clothing.<br />
During those tough times at<br />
high school how did you overcome<br />
being bullied?<br />
I still get really bad anxiety. You<br />
have just got to remind yourself<br />
you are going in the right direction.<br />
It is hard at high school,<br />
there is the councillor but people<br />
feel intimidated going there<br />
because it seems like they have got<br />
an issue or weak. You have to find<br />
someone to talk to – even if it is<br />
just a teacher you have a comfortable<br />
relationship with. I am a<br />
pretty outgoing person so I didn’t<br />
find it that hard.<br />
Tell me a bit about your sister<br />
Jayde?<br />
At the start of the year she went<br />
to New York Fashion Week. She is<br />
signed with NZ Models & Talent.<br />
They took a group of girls over<br />
there to Australia to do workshops.<br />
She said it was an amazing<br />
experience and opened her eyes<br />
up to the industry. She has left<br />
school end of year 12 as well and<br />
I suppose she is trying to find her<br />
feet. My brother Tyler is in a band<br />
called Idiio. It is short for idiosyncratic<br />
meaning unique. He used<br />
to be in a band in Christchurch<br />
called the Make Believes. I think<br />
we are all pretty creative.<br />
Are there any other plans you<br />
have for the future?<br />
What I really want to do is be<br />
a wedding planner and with my<br />
clothing line I want to make tom<br />
boy wedding apparel. That is my<br />
end goal. I want to do suits but<br />
tailored to fit women better. I<br />
could go into the dresses. I could<br />
make a dress that is more comfortable.<br />
Have you always had an interest<br />
in weddings?<br />
I have always been fascinated<br />
with love I think. It is amazing<br />
and with all this stuff going on<br />
with the lesbian, gay, bisexual,<br />
and transgender community. I<br />
think it is important to try and<br />
embrace and make people feel<br />
comfortable when it comes to<br />
their super special day in the life.<br />

Homestead burns down<br />
• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire<br />
investigator<br />
FIRES BEING attended at<br />
the moment are completely in<br />
keeping with this time of year.<br />
The old “metre heater” rule<br />
was broken in St Albans St a few<br />
weeks ago where clothing drying<br />
against a wall heater began to<br />
smoulder.<br />
As the time was 5.40am, the<br />
household was in bed asleep but<br />
were alerted by a working smoke<br />
alarm.<br />
Everybody got out and the<br />
house wasn’t badly fire affected.<br />
You can’t have too many smoke<br />
alarms.<br />
Without them, relatively minor<br />
events like this one can turn into<br />
a complete disaster.<br />
Some people coming home in<br />
Hoon Hay last week found their<br />
house completely full of smoke.<br />
An ash bucket had been smoking<br />
away, probably all day.<br />
Ash can remain hot for up to<br />
five days.<br />
Fire ash needs to be completely<br />
removed from the house and<br />
preferably scattered in an area<br />
that can’t ignite.<br />
Too many washhouses and<br />
wood sheds have been lost from<br />
this seemingly unlikely source of<br />

Rangi students give strong<br />
cross-county performance<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
RANGI RURU had a strong showing at<br />
the Canterbury secondary schools crosscountry<br />
championships last week with<br />
two teams second in their categories.<br />
On top of the team success, four students<br />
finished in the top 10 in their races.<br />
More than 170 students were competing<br />
across the three categories.<br />
The under-16 and over-16 teams were<br />
second off the back of some solid individual<br />
running efforts.<br />
Chloe Hughes was third in the year<br />
9 individual race and Rosa Blake fifth.<br />
Lydia Robinson was third in the under-16<br />
individual section, while Isabella Carter<br />
was 10th in the over-16 individual event.<br />
A school spokeswoman said it was an<br />
“awesome effort.”<br />

Brent ForBes - In my previous works the landscape has<br />
been used to observe the time of day, the seasons passing, maybe<br />
(but not often) a particular place – however these works are not any<br />
of those things. Looking at these works as a whole, I see the main<br />
preoccupation has been water, and where the land meets it. The<br />
landscape, although more modelled and distinct in terms of handling,<br />
is not the main motivation – just as important is the inescapable fact<br />
of the ocean.<br />
Making these works was more about the process than before, sticking<br />
pieces on, seeing what opportunities were created, adjusting, rearranging...<br />
it was about not having a set finish in mind, just responding<br />
to what the works needed. In this way I think of these works as more<br />
universal and about painting rather than simply “landscape paintings”.<br />

we can help make it happen with a wide range of programmes including<br />
certificates, diplomas and a brand new degree in hospitality management<br />

it’s natural state.<br />

memories of looking with fascination at watercolours and lithographs<br />

Papanui eye up Connetics Shield<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
PAPANUI WILL have a chance<br />
to take high school football’s<br />
equivalent of the Ranfurly<br />
Shield when they play St Thomas<br />
tomorrow night.<br />
In one of the last games of the<br />
night, the allure of taking the<br />
Connetics Shield<br />
back to Langdons Rd<br />
will be a powerful<br />
motivator for<br />
Papanui, who will<br />
Michael<br />
White<br />
be raring to go at<br />
7.30pm.<br />
The match and all<br />
other games will be played at the<br />
Christchurch Football Centre.<br />
St Thomas, who recently took<br />
the shield from close rivals<br />
Middleton with a resounding<br />
5-1 win, will want to keep it<br />
locked away for more than just a<br />
week, but will have to defend it<br />
without their influential captain<br />
Michael White.<br />
Papanui coach Liam<br />
Campfens said it was time they<br />
put hands on the elusive shield,<br />
which they have never held<br />
before.<br />
“The effort from the squad<br />
in the last few games has<br />
been fantastic, but the results<br />
just haven’t been falling our<br />
way. With the shield on the line,<br />
we’re looking to put that right,”<br />
he said.<br />
St Thomas co-coach Richard<br />
Washington said Papanui are<br />
ON THE LINE: St Thomas co-coach Jacob Allen holds the<br />
Connetics Shield after winning it from Middleton. Papanui will<br />
have a chance to pry it from his grasp if they beat St Thomas<br />
tomorrow night at the Christchurch Football Centre.<br />
a very dangerous side who can<br />
beat anybody on their day.<br />
“We look forward to a tough<br />
game and know Papanui will<br />
not lie down, they will throw<br />
everything at winning the<br />
shield,” he said<br />
Last time the two met St<br />
Thomas eased past with a 3-0<br />
win. As the halfway mark of the<br />
competition approaches, only<br />
two points separate the top four<br />
teams.<br />
Burnside will look to take<br />
three points against Shirley<br />
at 7.30pm tomorrow after<br />
jumping into second spot on the<br />
table from fourth, with a 9-0<br />
thumping of Rangiora last week.<br />
Last year’s meeting between<br />
the two was a goal fest with<br />
Burnside taking the honours<br />
7-4.<br />
St Andrew’s have top-of-thetable<br />
Lincoln to contend with<br />
tomorrow at 4pm after moving<br />
into fifth position with a 6-0<br />
victory over Shirley last week.<br />
The men from Papanui Rd<br />
have been in and out of the top<br />
four over the past few rounds<br />
and would like to get in the mix<br />
with a win.<br />
Last time the two met, Lincoln<br />
edged them 3-2 on their way to<br />
an almost perfect season.<br />
St Bede’s take on Riccarton<br />
at 4pm and Christchurch Boys’<br />
High play Rangiora at 5.45pm.<br />
St Bede’s recorded their third<br />
win of the season last week,<br />
beating Papanui 3-2. CBHS also<br />
won 2-1 against Middleton.<br />

War memorial graffiti protection ‘ugly’<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
PANELS DESIGNED to protect<br />
New Brighton’s iconic war<br />
memorial from graffiti have been<br />
criticised by locals as “horribly<br />
ugly.”<br />
However, the New Brighton<br />
RSA says they are needed to<br />
safeguard the monument for<br />
future generations.<br />
The $25,000 panels were<br />
given the okay by the RSA and<br />
installed by the city council just<br />
over a week ago.<br />
RSA executive manager Garry<br />
House said people needed to<br />
understand that the clear panels<br />
have a film over top of them,<br />
which can be replaced if they<br />
are defaced, keeping the monuments<br />
clean.<br />
They could also be easily removed<br />
for ceremonial purposes<br />
such as Anzac Day.<br />
“It’s not a perfect solution<br />
but it’s a lot better than having<br />
graffiti all over the cenotaph,<br />
which does lasting damage to the<br />
sandstone.”<br />
He said he wanted to give the<br />
panels a chance and “if it turns<br />
into a disaster” then they’d need<br />
to look at other options.<br />
New Brighton Project coordinator<br />
Martha Baxendell said<br />
they reinforced the idea that New<br />
Brighton was not a safe or good<br />
Discover this<br />
unique Emporium<br />
place to be and detracted from<br />
the area.<br />
“They are just horribly ugly.<br />
We did a photo shoot with<br />
Rockabilly Show and Shine and<br />
wanted to do an Anzac shoot but<br />
we had to relocate to the Burwood<br />
War Memorial.”<br />
She said the memorial had only<br />
been tagged once in the last two<br />
years and there wasn’t really a<br />
need for it to be protected.<br />

HUNTER<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board member Tim Sintes<br />
said he didn’t know how else<br />
they could protect the memorial<br />
“apart from a barbed wire fence.”<br />
Coastal Ward city councillor<br />
David East said the panels<br />
weren’t ideal but he was happy<br />
to trial them. “Aesthetically it<br />
doesn’t look that great.” He said<br />
the decision was pretty much set<br />
in stone by the time it came to<br />
the board.<br />
Binn Inn New Brighton owner<br />
Nikki Griffin thought the panels<br />
were “hideous.”<br />
She said there must be a better<br />
way to protect the memorial<br />
than the “fish bowl they’ve come<br />
up with.”<br />
Blair Hughes, owner of<br />
Paper Plus New Brighton,<br />
said he could understand<br />
why they’d been put up<br />
but didn’t like the look of them.<br />
“Aesthetically, it doesn’t work.<br />
I would have thought there’d be<br />
a better option.”<br />
Burwood Ward city councillor<br />
Glenn Livingstone said he hadn’t<br />
seen the memorial since the<br />
panels had been installed.<br />
Similar panels around the<br />
Woolston Borough Monument<br />
were covered in graffiti less than<br />
three weeks after they were<br />
installed.<br />

RYMAN HEALTHCARE<br />
Retirement village a lifestyle<br />
choice for independent residents<br />
The Diana Isaac Retirement Village in<br />
Mairehau is one of seven Ryman retirement<br />
villages in Canterbury, and like many of<br />
the others it offers resort-style living for<br />
independent apartment and townhouse<br />
residents right through to assisted living in<br />
serviced apartments, resthome, hospital and<br />
dementia care as residents require.<br />
Sales advisor for the village, Adrienne<br />
Todd, says for those making the decision<br />
to move there and live independently, it is a<br />
lifestyle choice.<br />
Two of the most recent residents to move<br />
in, George and Beverley Waters, shifted into<br />
their two-bedroom apartment about two<br />
weeks ago, but already they feel completely<br />
settled in their new home.<br />
“Once the boxes were unpacked, we felt<br />
like we’d been here forever,” says Beverley.<br />
“Our furniture fitted in – it couldn’t have<br />
been better.”<br />
Originally from Greymouth, the couple<br />
had been living in Bishopdale for the last<br />
seven years, but as they were getting older<br />
their two daughters and their son felt it was<br />
time for them to make the move.<br />
“It was a good decision,” George says. “We<br />
had friends here that we had visited, so we<br />
knew the place. We got to know the staff, and<br />
found them friendly and very welcoming.<br />
We’re here to stay.”<br />
Still very fit in his 80s, George makes<br />
regular use of the village’s heated indoor pool<br />
and the gymnasium, and every Wednesday<br />
he joins a group of friends to swim at the<br />
Graham Condon Pools, after which they<br />
enjoy a morning coffee together.<br />
Both he and Beverley say their apartment<br />
The main bedroom opens onto a balcony where<br />
residents can enjoy breakfast al fresco.<br />
at Diana Isaac is “like your own place”. In the<br />
short time they have been there, they have<br />
observed a lot of planting bringing seasonal<br />
colour to the extensive gardens and say it<br />
will be “amazing” come spring and summer<br />
when it is in full bloom.<br />
Located on the first floor, their apartment<br />
has a view not only of the gardens, but also<br />
of the neighbouring wetlands area, and<br />
counting the ducks they can see when they<br />
pull the curtains back has already become<br />
part of their morning routine.<br />
Adrienne says residents living in groundlevel<br />
accommodation are free to potter<br />
about in the garden by their residence, while<br />
those with balconies can brighten them up<br />
with pots of plants.<br />
Another couple, Pam and Sam Hartley,<br />
moved into their two-bedroom townhouse<br />
at Diana Isaac a year ago and are very happy<br />
Seated beside the bowling green, from left, residents Beverley Waters, George<br />
Waters, Pam Hartley and Sam Hartley with sales advisor Adrienne Todd.<br />
there. As Pam puts it, “You should do it<br />
while you can enjoy it.”<br />
They previously lived in Mt Pleasant,<br />
and Pam says she could see the Diana<br />
Isaac Retirement Village from their home<br />
and had wanted to move into the village<br />
when the time was right. As a member of<br />
Christchurch community choir, Cantabile,<br />
she had entertained residents at several<br />
Ryman retirement villages, and while she<br />
could see that residents enjoyed living in<br />
other ones too, she felt Diana Isaac was the<br />
place for Sam and herself because of the age<br />
group of the residents.<br />
The two had also been invited to various<br />
functions through the friends of the village<br />
database, so had had a sample of village life,<br />
which helped them make their decision.<br />
Pam has joined the choir at Diana Isaac,<br />
which is just one of the many activities<br />
available for residents to enjoy. Facilities<br />
include the indoor heated pool and spa, gym,<br />
an all-weather bowling green, a petanque<br />
area, a croquet green, a movie theatre, a<br />
well-stocked library, a hair and beauty salon<br />
and a shop for basic grocery items.<br />
Plus there is the exclusive Ryman Triple<br />
A exercise programme, with three classes a<br />
day, five days a week.<br />
“These provide health benefits for the<br />
residents and help their balance and<br />
mobility, plus there is the social aspect<br />
with the participants enjoying morning tea<br />
together after their class,” Adrienne says.<br />
Pam, Sam, Beverley and George are<br />
also thrilled with the entertainment and<br />
social opportunities offered, which include<br />
live music, happy hour and outings. As<br />
independent residents, they cook their own<br />
The open plan kitchen and lounge area of the twobedroom<br />
apartment that is now available.<br />
meals, but are welcome to purchase a meal<br />
in the village dining room any time they<br />
wish.<br />
Adrienne says one of the highlights is<br />
the fine dining evening on the second<br />
Wednesday of the month, when residents<br />
dress up for the occasion and enjoy a threecourse<br />
meal and drinks.<br />
Regular functions are also part of the<br />
entertainment programme.<br />
“We have fabulous functions,” Adrienne<br />
says. “We have one major function every year<br />
as well as fashion parades, 1920s’ and 1960s’<br />
dances, movies, happy hours, high teas, Cup<br />
Day with champagne, strawberries and a<br />
sweepstake, and experts are brought in to<br />
speak to the residents on a variety of topics.<br />
They include lawyers speaking on enduring<br />
power of attorney, health representatives<br />
from the stroke and arthritis foundations<br />
and the police on email and phone scams.<br />
“We also take two vanloads of residents<br />
out for a meal on Wednesdays, on Tuesdays<br />
we take them to the local New World<br />
supermarket and on Thursdays to The<br />
Palms.”<br />
Currently there is an opportunity to move<br />
to the Diana Isaac Retirement Village, with a<br />
two-bedroom independent apartment and a<br />
two-bedroom townhouse available.<br />
These homes are available on great terms<br />
with the Ryman Peace of Mind Guarantees,<br />
which includes the guarantee of fixed weekly<br />
fees for life*.<br />

PINEAPPLE COCONUT<br />
MACAROON CAKE<br />
Directions<br />
2 Eggs<br />
¾ cup Caster sugar<br />
1 Tbsp Coconut oil, in liquid<br />
form, or coconut butter, cooled<br />
1 large Lemon, with zest<br />
1 cup High grade flour<br />
1 tsp Baking powder<br />
1 cup Pineapple, heaped and<br />
diced<br />
¾ cup Desiccated coconut<br />
Coconut icing<br />
1 cup Icing sugar<br />
¼ cup Coconut milk<br />
To decorate<br />
1 handful Fresh pineapple<br />
wedges<br />
1 small handful Mint leaves,<br />
finely shredded<br />
1 sprinkle Lemon or lime rind<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the oven to 190 deg C.<br />
Line a 17cm round cake tin with<br />

Using a large metal spoon, fold<br />
in the coconut oil and lemon<br />
zest. Sift over the flour and baking<br />
powder and carefully fold in.<br />
Lastly, using two to three<br />
movements, fold through the<br />
diced pineapple and coconut. Do<br />
not overfold or you will lose all<br />
the air you have beaten in.<br />
Pour into the prepared tin<br />
and place in the oven. Bake for<br />
25-30 minutes or until a skewer<br />
inserted in the centre of the cake<br />
comes out clean.<br />
Remove from the oven and<br />

the icing sugar with the coconut<br />
milk until you have a smooth<br />
mixture.<br />
Spread icing over the top<br />
surface of the cake and allow to<br />
drizzle down over the edges.<br />
Decorate the top with pieces of<br />
fresh pineapple, mint leaves and<br />
lemon or lime shreds.<br />

Migraine relief<br />
Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck<br />
It’s not very well known that almost 13<br />
percent of people – including childrensuffer<br />
from headaches and migraines.<br />
It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in<br />
the world and causes 91 percent of the<br />
people it affects to miss work or reduce<br />
their functional capacity. In the past 10<br />
years, the understanding of what causes<br />
headaches and migraines has significantly<br />
changed. The research now shows that<br />
the sensitisation of the brain stem in<br />
your neck is what causes this pain; and<br />
the specially trained physiotherapists at<br />
Muscle People are well versed in how to<br />
treat it.<br />
Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle<br />
People, had this to say about her<br />
experience: “My migraines were<br />
debilitating and they’d often come without<br />
warning. Sometimes once a week, but<br />
generally about once a month. I’d moved<br />
up from Dunedin where I’d managed them<br />
with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In<br />
Christchurch I was so reluctant to let<br />
anyone near my neck. I read the article<br />
and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I<br />
went to the first appointment with a page<br />
of all the concerns I had. The first time I<br />
met Laurie I remember walking out and<br />
feeling more in control. After about four<br />
treatments with Laurie and perfecting the<br />
technique she taught me I truly began to<br />
reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I<br />
feel a migraine coming on I now have the<br />
control to manage it myself, even stopping<br />
them from taking over, without needing<br />
someone to drive me in to the osteopath<br />
or the hospital for an injection to relieve<br />
the pain. With the technique Laurie<br />
taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”<br />
Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained<br />
in Australia in the award winning and<br />
ground breaking Watson Approach to<br />
dealing with headaches and migraines.<br />
This proven method examines and treats<br />
the movements of the first three segments<br />
of the neck, which when sensitised cause<br />
headaches and migraines.<br />
“In our clinics we see people from<br />
as far away as Invercargill who come<br />
to us specially to seek treatment” says<br />
Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People<br />
Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium<br />
in Australia we went to just recently<br />
reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we<br />
do, and honed our skills even more.”<br />
Generally patients will come to our<br />
clinic four or five times in the first few<br />
weeks of treatment. We show them some<br />
very simple exercises to do at home. After<br />
the first few weeks, treatment sessions are<br />
guided by how the patient is feeling.<br />
“Often patients come to us at the end<br />
of a long journey having tried quite a few<br />
other treatments, and we are able to help<br />
them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie<br />
says.<br />

How’s your sleep?<br />
Sleep is as important to the human body<br />
as food and water, but most of us don’t get<br />
enough quality sleep. Insufficient sleep, or<br />
disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle, may<br />
cause you to feel stressed, moody, unhappy,<br />
depressed, frustrated, fatigued, as well as<br />
cause poor concentration, memory, weight<br />
gain, skin conditions and even be a factor<br />
in faster aging and degenerative diseases.<br />
Melatonin is your sleep hormone. It is<br />
secreted by your brain’s pineal gland at the<br />
day’s end to help you relax and prepare<br />
for sleep. As you drift into sleep more<br />
melatonin is released to put you into a<br />
deep restorative sleep. Unfortunately many<br />
of us do not produce enough melatonin<br />
to achieve a quality sleep, and to sleep<br />
continuously through until morning. If you<br />
have trouble going to sleep, and/or wake<br />
often throughout the night you could be<br />
low in melatonin.<br />
Montmorency Tart Cherries are an<br />
excellent source of naturally occurring<br />
phyto-melatonin. Tru2U Sleep Support<br />
contains 100% pure tart cherry<br />
concentrate. It is an excellent natural way to<br />
increase your melatonin levels and improve<br />
your sleep. It is ideal for the whole family<br />
Melatonin is only produced at significant<br />
levels by the pineal gland when it is dark.<br />
It is imperative to sleep in a dark room<br />
with no lights for your body’s natural<br />
production of melatonin.<br />
Research conducted at Michigan State<br />
University found Montmorency Tart<br />
Cherries to contain some of the highest<br />
concentrations known of antioxidants<br />
including potent anthocyanins. These<br />
121 Skyhawk Road<br />
potent antioxidants help keep the body<br />
healthy. According to Dr. Lester Packer,<br />
PhD, world renowned cell biologist,<br />
“There is overwhelming scientific evidence<br />
demonstrating that people who eat a<br />
diet rich in antioxidants will live longer,<br />
healthier lives.”<br />
Tart cherry juice has been found to<br />
support joint health, mobility, flexibility<br />
and muscle recovery. It contains an enzyme<br />
called “uricase” that helps break down uric<br />
acid in the joints, which can lead to joint<br />
pain and gout.<br />
Montmorency tart cherry juice has also<br />
been shown to significantly reduce high<br />
blood pressure at levels comparable to that<br />
achieved by medication but without the<br />
side effects of medication according to new<br />
research from Northumbria University,<br />
Newcastle. Participants with the highest<br />
blood pressure saw the most benefit.<br />
Tru2U Sleep Support is 100% pure tart<br />
cherry concentrate. It is a great product<br />
to support healthy sleep and general good<br />
health.<br />

Residential Care Services<br />
Golden Healthcare Group’s position<br />
is at the forefront of Canterbury’s<br />
residential care services is cemented by a<br />
state-of-the-art facility being developed<br />
at Lady Wigram Retirement Village.<br />
The concept is to provide hotel-style<br />
accommodation for those residents<br />
who enjoy being part of a vibrant, social<br />
community.<br />
The group has already completed<br />
78 villas with an additional 23 to be<br />
completed by November <strong>2017</strong>. Until the<br />
full project is finalised, one of the villas<br />
built during the first stage of construction<br />
has been converted to accommodate<br />
social events such as bowls, happy hours,<br />
high teas and television viewing of sports<br />
fixtures.<br />
Once the project is complete, it will<br />
comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and<br />
100 care beds. The proposed facilities will<br />
include a rest home, hospital, and dementia<br />
facilities, and permanent amenities such<br />
as a community centre, bowling green,<br />
swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre,<br />
a library, and a hairdressing salon.<br />
The villas will be offered in a<br />
combination of two and three bedrooms<br />
whereas apartment residents will have a<br />
choice between one and two bedrooms.<br />
The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is<br />
a short stroll from The Landing, the central<br />

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more<br />
likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life<br />
expectancy. Checking your B/P on a regular basis with our easy to use B/P monitors allows you to make changes to your lifestyle,<br />

How’s your blood pressure?<br />
There are many tell-tale signs our health<br />
isn’t what it should be. Finding out we<br />
have higher than normal blood pressure is<br />
an important one.<br />
According to Julian Marshall, owner of<br />
Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in<br />
New Brighton, making a few life changes<br />
can help you keep on top of it.<br />
“Our body is really amazing. It has<br />
the ability to heal itself of just about any<br />
disease if we make the effort to do the<br />
right things! Often there are signs that<br />
things are not right and this is the time<br />
to find out why. Disease doesn’t happen<br />
for no reason. Cardiovascular disease, one<br />
of the leading causes of death is generally<br />
very preventable. The secret is to make the<br />
changes before things get too bad!”<br />
Some symptoms of high blood<br />
pressure include, headaches, migraines,<br />
not noticing the cold, the feeling of<br />
pressure in the head and nose bleeds,<br />
but often the first sign that something is<br />
wrong comes in a more life threatening<br />
manner.<br />
“The kidneys don’t handle high blood<br />
pressure very well, and can become<br />
seriously damaged as a result. Or, worsecase<br />
scenario, you can suddenly have<br />
a stroke or aneurysm, or even a heart<br />
attack.”<br />
To have good cardiovascular health,<br />
the systolic reading – the blood pressure<br />
in the arteries when the heart pumps –<br />
should be 120 (or less) and the diastolic<br />
reading – which is the pressure in the<br />
arteries between beats or while the heart<br />

is resting should be between 60 & 70. It<br />
is common when talking about blood<br />
pressure to say the systolic reading over the<br />
diastolic reading, i.e. 120/60.<br />
Blood pressure can vary considerably<br />
over a relatively short period of time. It<br />
is also best to check your blood pressure<br />
when you are relaxed at home. For this<br />
reason I recommend it is a good idea to<br />
purchase your own digital blood pressure<br />
unit and check your blood pressure<br />
regularly. They are easy to use and can<br />
give you a good indication of what may be<br />
effecting your blood pressure especially if<br />
it is high.<br />
A moderate increase in blood pressure<br />

stress & worry. Blood pressure over<br />

various factors especially plaque build-up<br />
in the blood vessels but also if the blood<br />
vessels are not supple enough or in poor<br />
condition.<br />
Calcium is an important mineral for<br />
good health. However it often builds up in<br />
the arteries as calcium plaque restricting<br />
blood flow. Researchers have found<br />
Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 can allow<br />
this calcium to be pulled out of the arteries<br />
and absorbed into the bones and tissues<br />
where it belongs. It can therefore help<br />
prevent osteoporosis also.<br />

three times daily away from food. Not only<br />

The lack of magnesium can be a major<br />

less than optimum levels.<br />
“Sure signs of being low in magnesium<br />
include having an irregular heartbeat, high<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of dampness<br />
in your house<br />
Now wITH the colder and wetter weather<br />
on its way, home owners are focusing on<br />
ways to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury<br />
especially, post-quake, many people have<br />
relocated to homes that suffer from rising<br />
damp which can be associated with health<br />
problems. Independent tests have shown<br />
that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the<br />
ground and enter a house every day, leading<br />
to mildew, mould, condensation and musty<br />
smells. moulds can produce various allergic<br />
reactions and the frail, elderly and very young<br />
are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
Heat Transfer<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home. Specially adapted for our<br />
New Zealand conditions and applications<br />
it provides a layer of protection against<br />
rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that<br />
the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />
of properties which had underfloor foam<br />
concrete installed, reported that it also<br />
provided protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd<br />
now for your free, no obligation quote and<br />

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

The facts about<br />
home ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need to<br />
be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />
states: “The objective of this provision is<br />
to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />
ventilation over opening windows, including<br />
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />
and reduction of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />
outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />
out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />
The incoming air from these<br />
systems has to be heated or<br />
cooled to keep the house warm<br />
in winter or cool in summer.<br />
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />
extracts air from the house and<br />
at the same time brings in fresh<br />
air. These two streams of air<br />
pass through a heat exchanger,<br />
which warms incoming air in<br />
winter and cools in summer if<br />
air conditioning is being used.<br />
This means that up to 80% of<br />
the energy which would be<br />

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 />

Store merger triggers massive sale at The Bike Shop<br />
<strong>News</strong> for cycling enthusiasts – The Bike Shop in Main<br />
North Road, Redwoodis relocating and merging with the<br />
original store in Burwood Road. And to celebrate the move<br />
to the Burwood store, The Bike Shop Redwood, at 290<br />
Main North Road, is having a huge relocation sale.<br />
Up till the end of <strong>June</strong> they are offering hot prices and<br />
great discounts on top-brand bikes and accessories,<br />
before the merged business begins operating on July 1.<br />
This is an opportunity not to be missed – the chance to<br />
purchase quality products at reduced prices before the<br />
doors close.<br />
Business owner Graeme Taylor has been operating his<br />
retail stores for nearly 17 years in total – first The Bike<br />
Shop in Burwood (previously known as Burwood Cycles),<br />
and then the additional Main North Road outlet, which<br />
opened at the end of 2014. And with over 28 years in the<br />
cycle trade he has the experience and knowledge to advise<br />
customers on the right bike for their needs.<br />
His mechanic and right-hand man Grant has 15 years’<br />
experience in the trade, so with over 40 years’ experience<br />
between them, Graeme and Grant are true cycle experts,<br />
who make sure every customer rides away completely<br />
happy with their new or repaired bike.<br />
The Bike Shop carries all the leading cycle brands<br />
including GT, Haro, Trek and Raleigh, as well as Premium<br />
BMX bikes and a wide selection of children’s bikes. They<br />
have also introduced the new Volterrae bikes, which are<br />
proving popular.<br />
Complementing the bike selection is a huge range of<br />
helmets, gloves, and cycle accessories for all needs and<br />
budgets. Not only does The Bike Shop sell recognised<br />
brands at genuine sale prices, they are also committed to<br />
getting bikes adjusted as finely as possible.<br />
“There’s no point in having a high-end bike if it rides like a<br />
junker,” Graeme says.<br />
“We see many poorly assembled bikes coming through<br />
the door, which we then get going more efficiently.”<br />
As the ‘home of the $40 service’, The Bike Shop’s servicing<br />
includes everything from puncture repairs to suspension<br />
servicing, all carried out on site, and they also do wheel<br />
building.<br />
Once the Main North Road store closes at the end of<br />
<strong>June</strong>, all these sales and services will be offered at<br />
The Bike Shop at 269 Burwood Road.<br />
