US treatment for Maddie 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

MADDIE COLLINS has spent 

most of her life battling kidney 

failure – now the 13-year-old 

St Margaret’s College student 

has been dealt another lifethreatening 

blow. 

She was told last week while at 

Starship Hospital for kidney treatment 

that her heart is also failing. 

If Maddie had a successful 

kidney transplant, her heart could 

recover, but without one, she 

would be at risk of a heart attack, 

her mother Sarah Manson Collins 

said. 

The news had hit Maddie and 

the whole family hard, she said. 

“She was in the room when they 

told us and she said, ‘okay, how 

many months have I got to live?’ 

We said, ‘no, it’s not like that, 

you’re going to be okay,’” she said.

HOPEFUL: Maddie Collins and her mum Sarah Manson Collins learned last week that Maddie’s 

kidney disease has caused early stage heart failure – but they are hopeful she will recover with 

quick treatment.

Queen’s 

Birthday 

honour 

RENOWNED cardiologist 

Hamid Ikram, who worked to 

open Christchurch’s first heart 

surgery unit, was named in 

the Queen’s Birthday Honours 

yesterday. 

Professor 

Ikram (right), of 

Fendalton, was 

made an Officer

lecture and privately practice at St 

George’s Hospital. 

He was instrumental in a longrunning 

public campaign in the 

1990s to open a cardiac unit in 

Christchurch. 

The unit was finally opened in 

December, 1997.

EDITOR’S 

DESK News...................................... 3-9 

YOU HAVE to hand it to Maddie 

Collins - she’s one heck of a plucky 

13-year-old. 

Life threatening conditions, yet 

she still has time for a huge smile 

for the camera (see page 1). 

Maddie’s health battles have 

been documented a lot over the 

past year as her family tries to 

raise $350,000 for kidney treatment 

in the United States. 

More than $80,000 has so far 

been raised but there’s a lot more 

needed. 

She’s earmarked to go there next 

month, the first step in what will 

be a long – and hopefully – successful 

process. 

On another medical note, congratulations 

to retired cardiologist 

Hamid Ikram named in the 

Queen’s Birthday Honours yesterday 

(see page 1). The city owes him 

much. He was instrumental in the 

1990s to open a cardiac unit in

Church-goers targeted 

Cars broken 

into while 

parishioners 

in mass 

• By Andrew King 

PEOPLE attending church 

during the evening have 

been coming out to find their 

cars broken into, with one 

parishioner losing $5000. 

Cars parked at St Teresa 

of Lisieux Parish on Puriri 

St, Riccarton, and Our Lady 

of Victories Parish on Main 

South Rd, Sockburn, have 

been targeted on Saturday and 

Sunday nights in recent weeks 

while the owners attended mass. 

St Teresa priest Father Antoine 

Thomas said little things like 

passports and bags had been 

taken from cars. A woman 

returned to her car a few months 

ago to find it had been broken 

into and $5000 missing. 

Father Antoine said he did 

not know why the woman had 

$5000 in her vehicle. 

“There must be a really 

well-organised gang getting 

around. We have installed 

more lighting, spoken with 

community watch and asked 

for volunteers to patrol the car 

park,” he said. 

Sixty-four cars were broken into 

last week in the Riccarton, Upper 

Riccarton and Sockburn areas. 

Two cars were stolen and 

another four attempts had been 

made to steal other cars after the 

owners discovered the ignition 

barrels had been forced, police 

said. 

Majority of the cars were 

targeted on Centennial Ave, Rattray 

St, Matipo St, Mandeville 

St and Brockworth Pl, with 20 

broken into on Saturday night 

alone. 

It comes after about 12 

vehicles were broken into

around the Three Elements 

Chinese Restaurant and the 

New Zealand Institute of Sport’s 

Christchurch campus car park 

on Wharenui Rd, Upper Riccarton, 

a week earlier. 

Said Senior Sergeant Pete 

Stills: “These thefts are a pain in 

the proverbial to the owners as 

there is very little taken normally, 

but the clean-up cost is often 

time-consuming and costly.’’ 

•Anyone with information 

about the thefts can phone 

363 7400. Alternatively, 

information can also be 

reported anonymously to 

Crimestoppers on 0800 555 

111. 

$350,000 sought 

in fundraiser 

•From page 1 

Kidney problems can force the 

heart to pump harder, putting a 

lot of strain on it. An American 

study has found children on 

dialysis for kidney problems were 

1000 times more likely to have a 

fatal heart attack. 

The family has been fundraising 

to take Maddie to The John 

Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, 

United States, next month where 

more advanced treatment may 

make it easier to match a donated 

kidney. 

In 2012, her father, Adam 

Collins, donated one of his 

kidneys to Maddie, but her body 

rejected it. 

“We know we’re fighting 

uphill to find a match for Maddie, 

but you’ve got to believe in 

miracles,” Mrs Manson Collins 

said. 

The treatment offered in the 

United States would make it less 

likely Maddie’s body would reject 

a donated kidney. 

However, it comes at a price – 

the full treatment is expected to 

cost about $350,000. 

Givealittle pages have already 

raised more than $80,000 for 

Maddie, and people in the community 

had also been incredibly 

generous, Mrs Manson Collins 

said. 

Many people, from family 

members to total strangers, had 

also volunteered to be tested to 

see if their kidneys might be a 

match for Maddie. 

She had no idea how many, 

as the family were not allowed 

to know unless a match was 

found. 

But even though none so far 

had matched Maddie, Mrs Manson 

Collins said every person 

willing to donate an organ had 

helped someone. 

“It’s not just about Maddie. We 

don’t have enough organ donors 

and that’s what this is about, so 

if I can make more people talk 

about organ donations I’ll have 

succeeded. 

“People say she looks so well, 

she looks so healthy, but you don’t 

see kidney failure until you lift up 

her shirt and see all those lines in 

her body,” she said. 

But she said Maddie’s love for 

animals, the people around her 

and her passion for life kept her 

strong.

$122m highway progressing 

Belfast bypass 

now 80 per 

cent complete 

THIS IS what the Western 

Belfast Bypass looks like two 

years after work started. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency released drone footage 

this week of the $122 million 

project which will see a new 

four-lane, 5km stretch of highway 

constructed. 

Bypassing Belfast, it will extend 

the Christchurch Northern 

Motorway (SH1) and connect 

into State Highway 1/Johns Rd, 

west of The Groynes entrance. 

The bypass is part of the Government’s 

Christchurch Roads 

of National Significance programme, 

a multi-million dollar 

plan to make it easier and safer 

to travel throughout Christchurch 

and the Canterbury region. 

NZTA Christchurch highways 

manager Colin Knaggs said the 

project, which got under way two 

years ago this month, is about 80 

per cent complete. 

“Over 375,000 hours have 

been worked on this project so 

PROGRESS: Drone images over the Western Belfast Bypass shows the 2km stretch of road 

previously out of view of the public. 

far and it is progressing well as 

this drone footage shows,” Mr 

Knaggs said. 

“The Fulton Hogan construction 

team are currently focusing 

on three new bridges which will 

carry the Western Belfast Bypass 

above Groynes Dr and Dickeys 

Rd, and over a new onramp that 

will link Main North Rd to the 

Northern Motorway.” 

These three structures are a 

major part of the project and 

are now close to being finished 

which is a great milestone for the 

project team. 

Mr Knaggs said a lot of the 

work that went into these bridges 

is underground, hidden from 

view. 

“Before the project team 

could start building they had to 

carry out ground improvement 

work, constructing around 2400 

columns of gravel and stone into 

the ground to make it denser,” 

he said. 

“This reduces the effects of 

liquefaction and ensures the 

bridge embankments remain 

stable, preventing damage to 

the bridge structures during an 

earthquake.” 

In addition, more than 30 steel 

encased reinforced concrete 

piles support each structure and 

extend 18 to 20m below ground 

level. 

The drone footage shows the 

2km long mid-section of the 

project which has been out of 

public view during construction. 

“Aside from some road 

marking and other minor 

finishing touches, this section 

of the project is also close to 

being finished,” Mr Knaggs 

said. 

Over the next two months the 

project team will be working to 

reopen the new-look entrance 

to The Groynes and finishing a 

new pedestrian subway that will 

take Waimairi Walkway and 

Otukaikino Track users under 

the Western Belfast Bypass near 

Dickeys Rd, along with other 

road work. 

The bypass is expected to be 

completed by early 2018.

Our People 


Jaz Tuihana Vivian 

Tomboy takes non gender-based 

Jaz Tuihana Vivian, 22, 

is making her mark in 

the fashion world with 

her unconventional 

clothing range. She 

talks to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

Tell me about your fashion 

brand Losers Are Cool (LAC 

Crews)? 

I have always kind of had the 

dream of doing a tomboy clothing 

line but I have never really 

known enough about it. So I 

did a business course last year 

and it made me a little bit more 

confident about releasing it. A 

couple of my friends are in the 

fashion industry. I bounced ideas 

off them, came up with a name, 

put it all together and released it. 

There is actually nothing online 

that is purely tomboy clothing. 

What I wanted to do was take 

away that awkward shopping 

down the wrong aisle thing and 

make it all online so people 

don’t have to go into the shop. 

What made you realise you 

were a tomboy? 

I have always been a tomboy 

out playing rugby and getting 

muddy with the boys. I am not 

a girly girl at all. Mum always 

tells me about when I was 

a kid she would dress me 

in a pretty pink dress and 

then I would go steal 

my brothers’ clothes just 

before we were about to 

go out. I played rugby 

for eight years. I had to 

take time off this year 

because it was getting 

too busy but I am into 

staying fit and 

healthy. It 

makes you feel better at the 

end of the day. 

Tell me about your 

idea to have non-gender 

based clothing? 

I think these days 

in our society you 

know everyone is 

breaking down the 

barriers. And a lot 

of things have come 

to head that you know 

back in the day 

would be 

scorned upon. I think with everyone 

breaking down these barriers 

why not me as well. I don’t 

understand why there is girl and 

boy clothing – it just puts that 

line in the middle. 

Have you always had a passion 

for equality? 

Just growing up being a tomboy 

you always have your battles. 

You have people at school and 

stuff saying things to you and 

it makes high school really uncomfortable. 

I thought if I could 

make it easy for people that are 

younger, that is me doing my bit. 

Was it a mission creating 

these clothes? 

It was a big mission but like I 

said, I had a few friends in the 

fashion industry so I bumped 

heads with them and thought 

what isn’t working about the 

clothes now and what I can improve 

on. Together we came up 

with a few ideas. I made it very 

basic so I can add onto it. My 

sister Jayde Vivian is an upcoming 

model so she was my model 

and her friends are interested in 

photography. Everything about it 

means a lot to me. It hasn’t been 

about making money. It is about 

making a difference. 

How did you get into the 

business side of things? 

Definitely, I left high school at 

year 12. I was never into school 

but I knew I had to carry on 

doing something so I went to the 

New Zealand Institute of Sport 

thinking I would be a personal 

trainer and then I did a marketing 

paper in the curriculum. It 

was just what we had to do and 

I aced it. My teacher pulled me 

aside and said that was the best 

marketing paper she had seen. 

I was like why don’t I venture 

from that and do something with 

it rather than sitting in a gym 

all day. That is when I got into 

business. I was the class clown at 

school and it is a better 

feeling being successful now having 

not actually enjoyed school 

at all. 

What were your experiences 

like at school and how did you 

stay true to yourself? 

I had a lot of support from 

my family. Especially my mum. 

We have quite an open relationship. 

When I came home from 

school she could tell I was upset. 

I think that was the best. There 

were a few teachers at school I really 

related to. I think a mixture 

of that and people telling me I 

am unique is what pulled me 

through. But I definitely got bullied 

a lot.

entertain you.

clothing to the fashion world 

Getting out of school must 

have been the best for you? 

Absolutely, I was definitely a 

misfit. But I wouldn’t encourage 

anyone to just drop out of school 

- you have definitely got to have a 

plan. Mum said as soon as I had a 

plan I could sign out. 

How did you come up with the 

Losers are Cool idea? 

It just stemmed from school. 

I thought you look around the 

classroom and you have your popular 

kids, nerdy kids and out-right 

losers. The losers end up being the 

ones everyone wants to be around 

because they are genuinely the 

most successful ones. 

Do you think people began to 

look at you more positively as 

you all got older? 

Yes definitely, I have people 

messaging me now saying: ‘I 

know we didn’t get on at school 

but what you are doing is awesome.’ 

You get the support from 

those that influenced you to do 

this. It makes you feel a lot better. 

It all happened for a reason. 

What are your other passions? 

I work in hospitality as a bar 

tender at The Sideline Sports Bar 

in Richmond. I do my clothing 

line throughout the day. My job 

opened my eyes. I have been at the 

bar almost four years. I think being 

in the hospitality industry and 

seeing people from all walks of life 

has opened my eyes to equality 

issues in society. Everyone should 

be themselves and not be put 

down. 

What do you think of the 

Southbridge community? 

I love going to my mum’s in 

Southbridge. The people there 

are genuinely interested in what 

everyone is doing. I know you get 

the small town stuff but people are 

interested in you going far. I like 

that aspect of country life. Everyone 

is genuinely happy and they 

have been supportive to people of 

all ages. One of my mum’s friends 

bought my own clothing. 

During those tough times at 

high school how did you overcome 

being bullied? 

I still get really bad anxiety. You 

have just got to remind yourself 

you are going in the right direction. 

It is hard at high school, 

there is the councillor but people 

feel intimidated going there 

because it seems like they have got 

an issue or weak. You have to find 

someone to talk to – even if it is 

just a teacher you have a comfortable 

relationship with. I am a 

pretty outgoing person so I didn’t 

find it that hard. 

Tell me a bit about your sister 

Jayde? 

At the start of the year she went 

to New York Fashion Week. She is 

signed with NZ Models & Talent. 

They took a group of girls over 

there to Australia to do workshops. 

She said it was an amazing 

experience and opened her eyes 

up to the industry. She has left 

school end of year 12 as well and 

I suppose she is trying to find her 

feet. My brother Tyler is in a band 

called Idiio. It is short for idiosyncratic 

meaning unique. He used 

to be in a band in Christchurch 

called the Make Believes. I think 

we are all pretty creative. 

Are there any other plans you 

have for the future? 

What I really want to do is be 

a wedding planner and with my 

clothing line I want to make tom 

boy wedding apparel. That is my 

end goal. I want to do suits but 

tailored to fit women better. I 

could go into the dresses. I could 

make a dress that is more comfortable. 

Have you always had an interest 

in weddings? 

I have always been fascinated 

with love I think. It is amazing 

and with all this stuff going on 

with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, 

and transgender community. I 

think it is important to try and 

embrace and make people feel 

comfortable when it comes to 

their super special day in the life.

Homestead burns down 

• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire 

investigator 

FIRES BEING attended at 

the moment are completely in 

keeping with this time of year. 

The old “metre heater” rule 

was broken in St Albans St a few 

weeks ago where clothing drying 

against a wall heater began to 

smoulder. 

As the time was 5.40am, the 

household was in bed asleep but 

were alerted by a working smoke 

alarm. 

Everybody got out and the 

house wasn’t badly fire affected. 

You can’t have too many smoke 

alarms. 

Without them, relatively minor 

events like this one can turn into 

a complete disaster. 

Some people coming home in 

Hoon Hay last week found their 

house completely full of smoke. 

An ash bucket had been smoking 

away, probably all day. 

Ash can remain hot for up to 

five days. 

Fire ash needs to be completely 

removed from the house and 

preferably scattered in an area 

that can’t ignite. 

Too many washhouses and 

wood sheds have been lost from 

this seemingly unlikely source of

Thankfully, the wheelchairbound

Rangi students give strong 

cross-county performance 


RANGI RURU had a strong showing at 

the Canterbury secondary schools crosscountry 

championships last week with 

two teams second in their categories. 

On top of the team success, four students 

finished in the top 10 in their races. 

More than 170 students were competing 

across the three categories. 

The under-16 and over-16 teams were 

second off the back of some solid individual 

running efforts. 

Chloe Hughes was third in the year 

9 individual race and Rosa Blake fifth. 

Lydia Robinson was third in the under-16 

individual section, while Isabella Carter 

was 10th in the over-16 individual event. 

A school spokeswoman said it was an 

“awesome effort.” 

these shores, this Land 

Brent ForBes - In my previous works the landscape has 

been used to observe the time of day, the seasons passing, maybe 

(but not often) a particular place – however these works are not any 

of those things. Looking at these works as a whole, I see the main 

preoccupation has been water, and where the land meets it. The 

landscape, although more modelled and distinct in terms of handling, 

is not the main motivation – just as important is the inescapable fact 

of the ocean. 

Making these works was more about the process than before, sticking 

pieces on, seeing what opportunities were created, adjusting, rearranging... 

it was about not having a set finish in mind, just responding 

to what the works needed. In this way I think of these works as more 

universal and about painting rather than simply “landscape paintings”.

Papanui eye up Connetics Shield 


PAPANUI WILL have a chance 

to take high school football’s 

equivalent of the Ranfurly 

Shield when they play St Thomas 

tomorrow night. 

In one of the last games of the 

night, the allure of taking the 

Connetics Shield 

back to Langdons Rd 

will be a powerful 

motivator for 

Papanui, who will 

Michael 

White 

be raring to go at 

7.30pm. 

The match and all 

other games will be played at the 

Christchurch Football Centre. 

St Thomas, who recently took 

the shield from close rivals 

Middleton with a resounding 

5-1 win, will want to keep it 

locked away for more than just a 

week, but will have to defend it 

without their influential captain 

Michael White. 

Papanui coach Liam 

Campfens said it was time they 

put hands on the elusive shield, 

which they have never held 

before. 

“The effort from the squad 

in the last few games has 

been fantastic, but the results 

just haven’t been falling our 

way. With the shield on the line, 

we’re looking to put that right,” 

he said. 

St Thomas co-coach Richard 

Washington said Papanui are 

ON THE LINE: St Thomas co-coach Jacob Allen holds the 

Connetics Shield after winning it from Middleton. Papanui will 

have a chance to pry it from his grasp if they beat St Thomas 

tomorrow night at the Christchurch Football Centre. 

a very dangerous side who can 

beat anybody on their day. 

“We look forward to a tough 

game and know Papanui will 

not lie down, they will throw 

everything at winning the 

shield,” he said 

Last time the two met St 

Thomas eased past with a 3-0 

win. As the halfway mark of the 

competition approaches, only 

two points separate the top four 

teams. 

Burnside will look to take 

three points against Shirley 

at 7.30pm tomorrow after 

jumping into second spot on the 

table from fourth, with a 9-0 

thumping of Rangiora last week. 

Last year’s meeting between 

the two was a goal fest with 

Burnside taking the honours 

7-4. 

St Andrew’s have top-of-thetable 

Lincoln to contend with 

tomorrow at 4pm after moving 

into fifth position with a 6-0 

victory over Shirley last week. 

The men from Papanui Rd 

have been in and out of the top 

four over the past few rounds 

and would like to get in the mix 

with a win. 

Last time the two met, Lincoln 

edged them 3-2 on their way to 

an almost perfect season. 

St Bede’s take on Riccarton 

at 4pm and Christchurch Boys’ 

High play Rangiora at 5.45pm. 

St Bede’s recorded their third 

win of the season last week, 

beating Papanui 3-2. CBHS also 

won 2-1 against Middleton.

War memorial graffiti protection ‘ugly’ 

• By Sarla Donovan 

PANELS DESIGNED to protect 

New Brighton’s iconic war 

memorial from graffiti have been 

criticised by locals as “horribly 

ugly.” 

However, the New Brighton 

RSA says they are needed to 

safeguard the monument for 

future generations. 

The $25,000 panels were 

given the okay by the RSA and 

installed by the city council just 

over a week ago. 

RSA executive manager Garry 

House said people needed to 

understand that the clear panels 

have a film over top of them, 

which can be replaced if they 

are defaced, keeping the monuments 

clean. 

They could also be easily removed 

for ceremonial purposes 

such as Anzac Day. 

“It’s not a perfect solution 

but it’s a lot better than having 

graffiti all over the cenotaph, 

which does lasting damage to the 

sandstone.” 

He said he wanted to give the 

panels a chance and “if it turns 

into a disaster” then they’d need 

to look at other options. 

New Brighton Project coordinator 

Martha Baxendell said 

they reinforced the idea that New 

Brighton was not a safe or good 

Discover this 

unique Emporium 

place to be and detracted from 

the area. 

“They are just horribly ugly. 

We did a photo shoot with 

Rockabilly Show and Shine and 

wanted to do an Anzac shoot but 

we had to relocate to the Burwood 

War Memorial.” 

She said the memorial had only 

been tagged once in the last two 

years and there wasn’t really a 

need for it to be protected.

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board member Tim Sintes 

said he didn’t know how else 

they could protect the memorial 

“apart from a barbed wire fence.” 

Coastal Ward city councillor 

David East said the panels 

weren’t ideal but he was happy 

to trial them. “Aesthetically it 

doesn’t look that great.” He said 

the decision was pretty much set 

in stone by the time it came to 

the board. 

Binn Inn New Brighton owner 

Nikki Griffin thought the panels 

were “hideous.” 

She said there must be a better 

way to protect the memorial 

than the “fish bowl they’ve come 

up with.” 

Blair Hughes, owner of 

Paper Plus New Brighton, 

said he could understand 

why they’d been put up 

but didn’t like the look of them. 

“Aesthetically, it doesn’t work. 

I would have thought there’d be 

a better option.” 

Burwood Ward city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone said he hadn’t 

seen the memorial since the 

panels had been installed. 

Similar panels around the 

Woolston Borough Monument 

were covered in graffiti less than 

three weeks after they were 

installed.

think the panels around the 

memorial are a good idea?

RYMAN HEALTHCARE 

Retirement village a lifestyle 

choice for independent residents 

The Diana Isaac Retirement Village in 

Mairehau is one of seven Ryman retirement 

villages in Canterbury, and like many of 

the others it offers resort-style living for 

independent apartment and townhouse 

residents right through to assisted living in 

serviced apartments, resthome, hospital and 

dementia care as residents require. 

Sales advisor for the village, Adrienne 

Todd, says for those making the decision 

to move there and live independently, it is a 

lifestyle choice. 

Two of the most recent residents to move 

in, George and Beverley Waters, shifted into 

their two-bedroom apartment about two 

weeks ago, but already they feel completely 

settled in their new home. 

“Once the boxes were unpacked, we felt 

like we’d been here forever,” says Beverley. 

“Our furniture fitted in – it couldn’t have 

been better.” 

Originally from Greymouth, the couple 

had been living in Bishopdale for the last 

seven years, but as they were getting older 

their two daughters and their son felt it was 

time for them to make the move. 

“It was a good decision,” George says. “We 

had friends here that we had visited, so we 

knew the place. We got to know the staff, and 

found them friendly and very welcoming. 

We’re here to stay.” 

Still very fit in his 80s, George makes 

regular use of the village’s heated indoor pool 

and the gymnasium, and every Wednesday 

he joins a group of friends to swim at the 

Graham Condon Pools, after which they 

enjoy a morning coffee together. 

Both he and Beverley say their apartment 

The main bedroom opens onto a balcony where 

residents can enjoy breakfast al fresco. 

at Diana Isaac is “like your own place”. In the 

short time they have been there, they have 

observed a lot of planting bringing seasonal 

colour to the extensive gardens and say it 

will be “amazing” come spring and summer 

when it is in full bloom. 

Located on the first floor, their apartment 

has a view not only of the gardens, but also 

of the neighbouring wetlands area, and 

counting the ducks they can see when they 

pull the curtains back has already become 

part of their morning routine. 

Adrienne says residents living in groundlevel 

accommodation are free to potter 

about in the garden by their residence, while 

those with balconies can brighten them up 

with pots of plants. 

Another couple, Pam and Sam Hartley, 

moved into their two-bedroom townhouse 

at Diana Isaac a year ago and are very happy 

Seated beside the bowling green, from left, residents Beverley Waters, George

there. As Pam puts it, “You should do it 

while you can enjoy it.” 

They previously lived in Mt Pleasant, 

and Pam says she could see the Diana 

Isaac Retirement Village from their home 

and had wanted to move into the village 

when the time was right. As a member of 

Christchurch community choir, Cantabile, 

she had entertained residents at several 

Ryman retirement villages, and while she 

could see that residents enjoyed living in 

other ones too, she felt Diana Isaac was the 

place for Sam and herself because of the age 

group of the residents. 

The two had also been invited to various 

functions through the friends of the village 

database, so had had a sample of village life, 

which helped them make their decision. 

Pam has joined the choir at Diana Isaac, 

which is just one of the many activities 

available for residents to enjoy. Facilities 

include the indoor heated pool and spa, gym, 

an all-weather bowling green, a petanque 

area, a croquet green, a movie theatre, a 

well-stocked library, a hair and beauty salon 

and a shop for basic grocery items. 

Plus there is the exclusive Ryman Triple 

A exercise programme, with three classes a 

day, five days a week. 

“These provide health benefits for the 

residents and help their balance and 

mobility, plus there is the social aspect 

with the participants enjoying morning tea 

together after their class,” Adrienne says. 

Pam, Sam, Beverley and George are 

also thrilled with the entertainment and 

social opportunities offered, which include 

live music, happy hour and outings. As 

independent residents, they cook their own

apartment that is now available. 

meals, but are welcome to purchase a meal 

in the village dining room any time they 

wish. 

Adrienne says one of the highlights is 

the fine dining evening on the second 

Wednesday of the month, when residents 

dress up for the occasion and enjoy a threecourse 

meal and drinks. 

Regular functions are also part of the 

entertainment programme. 

“We have fabulous functions,” Adrienne 

says. “We have one major function every year 

as well as fashion parades, 1920s’ and 1960s’ 

dances, movies, happy hours, high teas, Cup 

Day with champagne, strawberries and a 

sweepstake, and experts are brought in to 

speak to the residents on a variety of topics. 

They include lawyers speaking on enduring 

power of attorney, health representatives 

from the stroke and arthritis foundations 

and the police on email and phone scams. 

“We also take two vanloads of residents 

out for a meal on Wednesdays, on Tuesdays 

we take them to the local New World 

supermarket and on Thursdays to The 

Palms.” 

Currently there is an opportunity to move 

to the Diana Isaac Retirement Village, with a 

two-bedroom independent apartment and a 

two-bedroom townhouse available. 

These homes are available on great terms 

with the Ryman Peace of Mind Guarantees, 

which includes the guarantee of fixed weekly 

fees for life*.

townhouse phone Adrienne Todd on

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Migraine relief 

Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck 

It’s not very well known that almost 13 

percent of people – including childrensuffer 

from headaches and migraines. 

It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in 

the world and causes 91 percent of the 

people it affects to miss work or reduce 

their functional capacity. In the past 10 

years, the understanding of what causes 

headaches and migraines has significantly 

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.

SENIOR LIVING 

How’s your sleep? 

Sleep is as important to the human body 

as food and water, but most of us don’t get 

enough quality sleep. Insufficient sleep, or 

disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle, may 

cause you to feel stressed, moody, unhappy, 

depressed, frustrated, fatigued, as well as 

cause poor concentration, memory, weight 

gain, skin conditions and even be a factor 

in faster aging and degenerative diseases. 

Melatonin is your sleep hormone. It is 

secreted by your brain’s pineal gland at the 

day’s end to help you relax and prepare 

for sleep. As you drift into sleep more 

melatonin is released to put you into a 

deep restorative sleep. Unfortunately many 

of us do not produce enough melatonin 

to achieve a quality sleep, and to sleep 

continuously through until morning. If you 

have trouble going to sleep, and/or wake 

often throughout the night you could be 

low in melatonin. 

Montmorency Tart Cherries are an 

excellent source of naturally occurring 

phyto-melatonin. Tru2U Sleep Support 

contains 100% pure tart cherry 

concentrate. It is an excellent natural way to 

increase your melatonin levels and improve 

your sleep. It is ideal for the whole family 

Melatonin is only produced at significant 

levels by the pineal gland when it is dark. 

It is imperative to sleep in a dark room 

with no lights for your body’s natural 

production of melatonin. 

Research conducted at Michigan State 

University found Montmorency Tart 

Cherries to contain some of the highest 

concentrations known of antioxidants 

including potent anthocyanins. These 

121 Skyhawk Road 

potent antioxidants help keep the body 

healthy. According to Dr. Lester Packer, 

PhD, world renowned cell biologist, 

“There is overwhelming scientific evidence 

demonstrating that people who eat a 

diet rich in antioxidants will live longer, 

healthier lives.” 

Tart cherry juice has been found to 

support joint health, mobility, flexibility 

and muscle recovery. It contains an enzyme 

called “uricase” that helps break down uric 

acid in the joints, which can lead to joint 

pain and gout. 

Montmorency tart cherry juice has also 

been shown to significantly reduce high 

blood pressure at levels comparable to that 

achieved by medication but without the 

side effects of medication according to new 

research from Northumbria University, 

Newcastle. Participants with the highest 

blood pressure saw the most benefit. 

Tru2U Sleep Support is 100% pure tart 

cherry concentrate. It is a great product 

to support healthy sleep and general good 

health.

Golden Healthcare Group 

Residential Care Services 

Golden Healthcare Group’s position 

is at the forefront of Canterbury’s 

residential care services is cemented by a 

state-of-the-art facility being developed 

at Lady Wigram Retirement Village. 

The concept is to provide hotel-style 

accommodation for those residents 

who enjoy being part of a vibrant, social 

community. 

The group has already completed 

78 villas with an additional 23 to be 

completed by November 2017. Until the 

full project is finalised, one of the villas 

built during the first stage of construction 

has been converted to accommodate 

social events such as bowls, happy hours, 

high teas and television viewing of sports 

fixtures. 

Once the project is complete, it will 

comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and 

100 care beds. The proposed facilities will 

include a rest home, hospital, and dementia 

facilities, and permanent amenities such 

as a community centre, bowling green, 

swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre, 

a library, and a hairdressing salon. 

The villas will be offered in a 

combination of two and three bedrooms 

whereas apartment residents will have a 

choice between one and two bedrooms. 

The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is 

a short stroll from The Landing, the central 

retail hub of the Wigram Skies subdivision, 

and only a short drive to Hornby Mall, the

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 

likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life

How’s your blood pressure? 

There are many tell-tale signs our health 

isn’t what it should be. Finding out we 

have higher than normal blood pressure is 

an important one. 

According to Julian Marshall, owner of 

Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in 

New Brighton, making a few life changes 

can help you keep on top of it. 

“Our body is really amazing. It has 

the ability to heal itself of just about any 

disease if we make the effort to do the 

right things! Often there are signs that 

things are not right and this is the time 

to find out why. Disease doesn’t happen 

for no reason. Cardiovascular disease, one 

of the leading causes of death is generally 

very preventable. The secret is to make the 

changes before things get too bad!” 

Some symptoms of high blood 

pressure include, headaches, migraines, 

not noticing the cold, the feeling of 

pressure in the head and nose bleeds, 

but often the first sign that something is 

wrong comes in a more life threatening 

manner. 

“The kidneys don’t handle high blood 

pressure very well, and can become 

seriously damaged as a result. Or, worsecase 

scenario, you can suddenly have 

a stroke or aneurysm, or even a heart 

attack.” 

To have good cardiovascular health, 

the systolic reading – the blood pressure 

in the arteries when the heart pumps – 

should be 120 (or less) and the diastolic 

reading – which is the pressure in the 

arteries between beats or while the heart

is resting should be between 60 & 70. It 

is common when talking about blood 

pressure to say the systolic reading over the 

diastolic reading, i.e. 120/60. 

Blood pressure can vary considerably 

over a relatively short period of time. It 

is also best to check your blood pressure 

when you are relaxed at home. For this 

reason I recommend it is a good idea to 

purchase your own digital blood pressure 

unit and check your blood pressure 

regularly. They are easy to use and can 

give you a good indication of what may be 

effecting your blood pressure especially if 

it is high. 

A moderate increase in blood pressure 

can be caused by many things including 

stress & worry. Blood pressure over

140/70 is often caused by poor circulation. 

Poor circulation again can be caused by 

various factors especially plaque build-up 

in the blood vessels but also if the blood 

vessels are not supple enough or in poor 

condition. 

Calcium is an important mineral for 

good health. However it often builds up in 

the arteries as calcium plaque restricting 

blood flow. Researchers have found 

Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 can allow 

this calcium to be pulled out of the arteries 

and absorbed into the bones and tissues 

where it belongs. It can therefore help 

prevent osteoporosis also.

been shown to significantly reduce high 

blood pressure at levels comparable

to that achieved by medication but 

without the side effects according to new 

research from Northumbria University, 

Newcastle. Participants with the highest 

blood pressure saw the most benefit. 

Recommended dosage is 30ml, two or 

three times daily away from food. Not only 

will tart cherry juice help your B/P but its 

powerful antioxidants and concentrated 

nutrients can support good health, joint 

function, help clear up gout and give you a 

much more restful deep sleep. 

Drinking delicious Hibiscus tea has been 

shown to lower elevated blood pressure, 

improve cholesterol levels, reduce muscle 

cramps as well as support the central 

nervous system. Try to drink at least 2-3 

cups daily. 

The lack of magnesium can be a major 

contributor too, with most people having 

less than optimum levels. 

“Sure signs of being low in magnesium 

include having an irregular heartbeat, high 

blood pressure, migraines, muscle cramps, 

twitches and night time teeth grinding are 

just a few.” 

These are just a few supplements we 

highly recommend to help you support 

your good health and blood pressure.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of dampness 

in your house 

Now wITH the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury 

especially, post-quake, many people have 

relocated to homes that suffer from rising 

damp which can be associated with health 

problems. Independent tests have shown 

that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the 

ground and enter a house every day, leading 

to mildew, mould, condensation and musty 

smells. moulds can produce various allergic 

reactions and the frail, elderly and very young 

are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

Heat Transfer 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted for our 

New Zealand conditions and applications 

it provides a layer of protection against 

rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that 

the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete 

have noticed recently, is that many owners 

of properties which had underfloor foam 

concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

Store merger triggers massive sale at The Bike Shop 

News for cycling enthusiasts – The Bike Shop in Main 

North Road, Redwoodis relocating and merging with the 

original store in Burwood Road. And to celebrate the move 

to the Burwood store, The Bike Shop Redwood, at 290 

Main North Road, is having a huge relocation sale. 

Up till the end of June they are offering hot prices and 

great discounts on top-brand bikes and accessories, 

before the merged business begins operating on July 1. 

This is an opportunity not to be missed – the chance to 

purchase quality products at reduced prices before the 

doors close. 

Business owner Graeme Taylor has been operating his 

retail stores for nearly 17 years in total – first The Bike 

Shop in Burwood (previously known as Burwood Cycles), 

and then the additional Main North Road outlet, which 

opened at the end of 2014. And with over 28 years in the 

cycle trade he has the experience and knowledge to advise 

customers on the right bike for their needs. 

His mechanic and right-hand man Grant has 15 years’ 

experience in the trade, so with over 40 years’ experience 

between them, Graeme and Grant are true cycle experts, 

who make sure every customer rides away completely 

happy with their new or repaired bike. 

The Bike Shop carries all the leading cycle brands 

including GT, Haro, Trek and Raleigh, as well as Premium 

BMX bikes and a wide selection of children’s bikes. They 

have also introduced the new Volterrae bikes, which are 

proving popular. 

Complementing the bike selection is a huge range of 

helmets, gloves, and cycle accessories for all needs and 

budgets. Not only does The Bike Shop sell recognised 

brands at genuine sale prices, they are also committed to 

getting bikes adjusted as finely as possible. 

“There’s no point in having a high-end bike if it rides like a 

junker,” Graeme says. 

“We see many poorly assembled bikes coming through 

the door, which we then get going more efficiently.” 

As the ‘home of the $40 service’, The Bike Shop’s servicing 

includes everything from puncture repairs to suspension 

servicing, all carried out on site, and they also do wheel 

building. 

Once the Main North Road store closes at the end of 

June, all these sales and services will be offered at 

The Bike Shop at 269 Burwood Road.
