Recipe for disaster as rat-runners

avoid busy intersection queue

• By Julia Evans

FRUSTRATED motorists

waiting for a green light at a busy

intersection are taking short cuts

through a bar’s car park – which

the owner says is a recipe for

disaster.

And if someone is injured it

will be the city council’s fault,

co-owner of Bailies Bar and Restaurant,

Richard Norton said.

His bar is on the busy

intersection of Colombo St

and Edgeware Rd. Drivers cut

through the car park to avoid the

lights.

“People have started

racing through the car

park, it’s dangerous,

it’s going to cause an

accident,” Mr Norton said.

He said it’s frustration

that causes accidents and

one is inevitable if the

lights stay in the “absolute

shemozzle” they are.

“If that [an accident]

happens, I’d hold the city council

responsible since they know

the intersection isn’t working

properly,” he said.

The city council told Nor’West

drivers not approaching

the intersection properly

rather than incorrect

light phasing so it won’t

be putting in a fix.

“Investigations of

the site have found that

the traffic signals are

correctly configured,

however, due to some

uncertainty of drivers

regarding how to use road space

there is increased congestion as

a result of the traffic signals not

operating as intended,” Christchurch

Transport Operations Centre

manager Ryan Cooney said.

The underground detectors on

Colombo St are adjacent to the

centre line, as there is car parking

next to the kerb for the shops.

“Unfortunately, some drivers

are stopping adjacent to the kerb

when waiting at the limit line

and therefore the traffic signal

phase for Colombo St is not being

called,” he said.

Mr Cooney said the city council

would not be putting in more

sensors to trigger the lights.

He said if a vehicle parked with

no intention of going through,

the signals would change the

from Colombo St when it is not

necessary.

“Therefore detectors would

result in too much time being

allocated to Colombo St.”

But Mr Norton said the city

council is simply trying to “pass

the buck” and not take responsibility

for the error.

“You’ve never seen another

intersection like it anywhere else

in the city and there’s a reason

for that,” he said.

six complaints about the lights

that were installed as part of the

Council in tough spot over sign

• By Julia Evans

CITY COUNCIL staff are

between a rock and a hard place

regarding a contentious sign on

the fence of 85 Westminster St,

St Albans.

That was the view expressed

by the Papanui-Innes

Community Board at its

meeting on Friday.

The sign, which reads “St

Albans children matter, slow

down”, was put up by St Albans

School parent Rachel Donaldson

in a bid to put the spotlight on

dangerous driving in the area.

The city council’s compliance

team had to investigate the sign

after receiving a complaint and

found it was illegal.

It said the sign “does not

comply with the District Plan”.

When asked by Nor’West

News why the sign does not

comply with the plan, city

council principal adviser of

regulatory compliance Claire

Le Grice said no further

comment could be made until

investigations were complete.

Board chairwoman Ali Jones

said the city council can’t “pick

and choose” when to uphold

complaints.

“What I find interesting is

the complaint itself. I don’t

know who would complain and

why? It’s hardly a neon flashing

sign but then again, people are

within their rights to make a

complaint,” she said.

Board member Jo Byrne said

it was frustrating how the city

council was working in two different

ways.

One faction was working to

address dangerous driving in

the area and the other is saying

the signs must be removed.

“They [the city council]

should be working with Rachel

towards making the sign legal

rather than telling her to take it

down,” Ms Byrne said.

In the meantime Christchurch

Central Labour candidate

Duncan Webb has provided a

temporary solution.

He attached his picture and

endorsed the sign with his

signature, making it a political

hoarding.

“If people can see my face

then that’s all good for me too,

but I’m happy to help out,” Dr

Webb said.

In Brief

ALL-ACCESS PLAYGROUND

A working party has been

established for an all-access

playground earmarked for the

Papanui area. Papanui-Innes

Community Board member Jo

Byrne and city councillor Mike

Davidson have joined the party

along with members of the

Papanui Youth Development

Trust and Allenvale and

Ferndale schools. Currently, St

James Park is the most likely

location for the playground

which will offer play equipment

that can be used by children of

all abilities.

NURSERY NOT A PARK

Harewood Park will be renamed

Harewood Nursery to avoid

confusion over whether it is

a public space. The 11.2ha

nursery is not open to the public

and is used to grow trees and

plants for city council parks,

street landscaping and the

regeneration of native bush and

wetlands.

BLAIR AVE NO STOPPING

New no-stopping restrictions

will be put in on Blair Ave,

Papanui. The restrictions,

between KFC and the block of

shops on the corner, will cover

just over 4m. They will be put in

place to stop vehicles blocking a

driveway.

Meet Indy...

MODERN:

Davinia

Sutton’s

bathroom

design won

a supreme

award for

its beautiful

elegance.

Designer on a roll

Meet Indy, an 11 year old speyed Lab

cross, who presented for a hind leg

mass. Indy has previously had tumors

removed so the owners knew what to

expect and wanted to get this mass

checked out as it seemed to grow quite

quickly. Indy was not bothered by it

though and she wasn’t lame on the leg.

Indy is a very special patient of mine

as she has had not one but two knee

surgeries about 4 years ago

(2 months apart), to repair ruptured

cranial cruciate ligaments. Fortunately

her stifles give her no problems and she

enjoys a very fit and active social life.

FOR THE second year in

a row, Merivale interior

designer Davinia Sutton

has won a top national

prize.

Judges called Ms Sutton’s

bathroom design “beautiful

and elegant” when

they gave

Elmwood

her a supreme

award at the New Zealand

Kitchen and Bathroom Excellence

in Design Awards

in Sydney last week.

They said her design

was simple and stylish,

minimal yet warm and

comfortable. The design

provided great storage and

had a “lovely composition

of colours”.

Ms Sutton, who won

the same award last year,

said she is passionate

about interior

architecture, from

traditional to modern

in style.

“My approach to

each design is well

thought out and

highly considered.”

Her company

Detail by Davinia

Sutton is a boutique design

practice in Merivale’s Office

Rd with a combined

experience of over 25 years

designing interiors.

But National Kitchen

and Bath Association president

Annemarie Mains

said her designs

are of world class

standard.

“We have been

so excited about

the beautiful and

creative kitchen

and bathroom

designs of the New

Zealand designers

this year,” she said.

The awards are in their

33 rd year and are the longest

standing kitchen and

bathroom design awards in

the country.

Davinia

Sutton

Olivia performed a FNA ( fine needle

aspirate) on the large mass, that was

very inflamed and was golf ball sized.

Unfortunately she saw lots of “mast cells”

under the microscope, giving a diagnosis

of Mast Cell tumor ( MCT ). These tumors

are malignant, grow fast and will set up

in other sites quickly. Her only option was

surgical removal to hopefully limit the

spread and extend her life.

Indy was admitted, blood tests performed

in house and chest xrays taken to make

sure the mass hadn’t spread. Catherine

ultrasounded her liver as well to check

tumor spread. All looked clear. There is no

point subjecting Indy to a major surgery

if we saw gross changes in other organs.

We will never go in and operate on a

malignant tumor without first making

absolutely sure we cant detect disease

elsewhere.

Indy was then anaesthetized, connected

to our Cardell monitoring machine and

placed on intravenous fluids, then taken

to surgery to remove her MCT. Kirsty,

her surgeon, also had to remove the

associated draining popliteal lymph

node as it was enlarged and very close

to the tumor. A wide resection was

undertaken to ensure no tumor tissue

was left behind. The mass will be sent off

for histopathology to make sure no tissue

was left behind. In 10 days after surgical

removal, Indy will be back to her old self,

charging around as though nothing has

happened.

Ultrasound is a widely used diagnostic

tool at McMaster & Heap Vets. It would

be fair to say it is used daily and we see

referrals from other clinics as well. Our

ultrasound is mainly used for scanning

hearts, pregnancy diagnosis and viewing

all the organs in the abdomen plus has

an inbuilt ECG for looking at the electrical

rhythm of the heart. Occasionally

Catherine has scanned eyes and thyroid

glands and tendons. Its great at picking up

abdominal foreign bodies and showing

abdominal masses. Ultrasound is quick

and painless to the pet and usually yields

an answer that helps us in deciding if

the patient is a surgical candidate or not.

We have just invested in a brand new

human ultrasound machine – GE Vivid T8

– to better enable our ultrasonographer

Catherine accurate, fast diagnoses.

If you have any questions regarding

ultrasound in your pet, please feel free to

call the clinic.

Problem-solvers go to South Korea

Contest in Busan,

They leave

Nick Leith.

Held at the Ulsan

National Institute

of Science and

Technology, the

competition is centred around

designing an “interactive digital

resource” to help solve problems

of the future, something the

United States and North Korea

might need help with.

But Mr Leith said the

heated North Korean political

climate isn’t something they’re

WORLD CLASS: Two Casebrook Intermediate pupils will head

to one of the most volatile parts of the world, South Korea, for a

global problem-solving competition.

concerned about.

“We’re focusing on all the opportunities

to work in a positive

environment to help solve global

issues,” he said

At 12-years-old, Ben and

Bronte are the youngest pupils in

the world selected for this year’s

competition.

“It’s meant to be a competition

but it’s more about kids working

together and solving problems in

a fun way,” Mr Leith said.

They will be competing

alongside representatives from

more than 16 countries, including

South Korea, Japan, China,

Thailand, the United States,

Indonesia, Morocco, Malaysia

and the United Kingdom.

But, after putting forward a

proposal around sustaining New

Zealand’s environment, the pair

were selected out of a nationwide

pool of entries.

“The proposal got accepted

and the next thing the flight tickets

arrived, it all happened very

quickly,” Mr Leith said.

But he said it’s only just sunk

in that they’re going now and

they’re excited.

“I think it’s dawned on them

how lucky they are,” he said.

Ben and Bronte are collaborating

with pupils from South

Korea’s Buwon Girls’ Middle

School to create an app about the

sustainable environment, which

they will then present to judges.

“Ultimately they have to design

a smart phone app around

educating people, which is pretty

intimidating but they’re both

eager,” he said.

So eager, they’ve already been

in touch with the pupils from the

school and have working on their

Korean language skills.

“Ben and Bronte are getting to

know some of the other kids and

picking up basic language skills.

They’ve realised the importance

of trying to connect through

language,” he said.

There will be an Olympic-style

opening ceremony before the

competition begins. Mr Leith

said he expects it will “blow their

minds.”

“South Korean organisations

tend to make massive deals out

of ceremony – it’ll be incredible,”

he said.

And after four days of

competition, Ben, Bronte and

their teacher will have a day

to soak up the sights of Busan

before heading back to the

airport. “It’s a bit of a whirlwind

trip,” he said.

But with all expenses paid, he

said there’s nothing to complain

about.

Bus stops

too far apart

for elderly

• By Julia Evans

ELDERLY RESIDENTS living

near Northlands Shopping

Centre are struggling to walk to

and from the bus stop.

Because the distance between

the two stops by the mall on

Main North Rd falls outside

city council policy, the Papanui-

Innes Community Board is

investigating. A stop on Main

North Rd outside Countdown

was removed to make way for

the Papanui Parallel cycleway.

City councillor Mike

Davidson said he has been

approached by several elderly

residents who wanted the bus

stop reinstated.

Cr Davidson found it was

650m between the bus stops,

but said it should be less than

500m.

He said city council staff are

looking into the possibility of

putting another stop possibly

near the intersection of Main

North and Sawyers Arms Rds.

“Due to the new signalised

crossing for the cycleway, there

was insufficient space for the

bus stop directly outside Countdown,”

city council head of

transport Chris Gregory said.

complaint about a sign

discouraging dangerous

driving in St Albans

Cathryn Lucy – How is this

any different to Mount Pleasant

School and their students putting

“40km/h” road signs all over the

hill with their “over the hill at

40” campaign a year or so back?

Just wondering why that was

allowed and this isn’t?

light cameras on every traffic

light and apply demerits see how

those people like that.

Michael Stringer – Constant

CCTV on all intersections

to record red light runners. That

will allow unemployment to

drop as imagine how many staff

would be required to review

footage. But city council needs to

put arrows on intersections and

fix phasing as often the Bealey

Ave and Papanui Rd intersection

phasing is screwed up.

Kevin Garty – Just paint the

message on your fence, it’s not a

“sign” then. What total tossers,

the biggest tosser is whoever

complained, the second largest

tosser is the person who acted on

the complaint.

Pamela Neil – It should be a

law as it is here and has been for

many years. 40km/h in school

zones 7-9am and 2-4pm.

Jan Lowe – Who would

complain about that and I’m

guessing the council must have

done all its chores around the

city if they have time to bully

someone over a sign.

Jane Harwood – Put it

on the inside of fence nice and

high so can been seen. These are

necessary signs.

Chris Loach – City council

do your job . . . fix CBD and stop

worrying about a sign . . . get

your priorities right.

Mary Holden – Good on

the woman at the intersection

of Cranford St and Westminster

who carries a sign and assists at

the crossing.

Zane Crofts – So old stupid

council rules come before

children’s safety. What kind of

world are we living in if we’d

always followed the rules and

hadn’t pushed for change. We’d

still have slavery, women not

allowed to vote and gays going

to prison. Rules change with

the times and should be based

on common sense and looking

after the community and the

environment.

Suzanne Anderson –

Maybe put it just inside the

boundary high enough to still

be seen. Readers also react to the

article regarding a simple fix to

red light runners outside Shirley

Primary School.

Tony Oosthuysen – Put red

Judith Collins – Why aren’t

there more arrow turning lights

at intersections then maybe there

wouldn’t be so many racing the

red light.

Lynda Byrnes – There are

a lot of intersections on main

roads, where you never get a

chance to turn right if you don’t

run the red light. Giving them an

extra few seconds will make this

less dangerous for everyone.

If they can’t bring in more

turning arrows, this is an ideal

option.

Vaughan Winsloe – So it

hasn’t actually “thwarted” any

red light runners at all, it’s just

given them a longer period to

break the law.

Chris Todd – Run a red light,

instant one month loss of licence

and a $1000 fine.

was like in the suburb during World War 2

THE WAR years were difficult

ones for most New Zealanders

and the experiences of those who

lived in Papanui were probably

typical.

The first adjustment was the

effect of the disappearance of

many of the young men in the

area – either because they volunteered

for service in the armed

forces or because they were

conscripted.

In the first years of the war, the

New Zealand Division served in

Greece, Crete and North Africa

and, although the casualty rate

was a huge concern for those

with family members involved,

in another sense the war seemed

remote from the everyday lives

of many New Zealanders.

However, increasing tension

WE NEED YOU:

A Government attempt

to increase interest in

volunteering for home service

throughout the country and in

Papanui.

in the Pacific led to the realisation

that New Zealand could be

vulnerable to direct attack.

Those men who were not

serving overseas were exhorted

to join local units of the Home

Guard, an invitation that later

became compulsory for those

who were able-bodied and aged

between 35 and 50.

The Papanui company was

commanded by J.A. Gregor and

was based at the Papanui Technical

College in Langdons Rd.

The training programme

revolved around drill, route

marches and lectures.

But it was realised that to

maintain enthusiasm, activities

more relevant to defending the

country should be encouraged.

In May 1941, the Papanui unit

joined those from Waimairi and

Elmwood in an exercise on the

Harewood golf course.

Papanui’s role was to join

Waimairi as the ‘enemy’ while

Elmwood attempted to ‘dislodge’

them.

The Royal New Zealand Air

Force contributed an aircraft

to simulate dive bombing and

strafing and the lack of military

hardware was solved by the use

of flour bombs as hand grenades

and tin rattles as machine guns.

The exercise was observed by

the national commander of the

Home Guard, Major General

Young, who expressed his satisfaction

with the practical nature

of the training.

This exercise was to have

consequences for at least one

member of the Papanui unit.

A local resident, the late Shona

Elliott (née Turton) recalled that

when her father returned from

the exercise with his clothes

covered in flour, he received a

most hostile reception from her

mother.

Nevertheless, Home Guard

exercises continued and the men

were gradually equipped with

uniforms, boots and rifles.

By late 1943, it had become

obvious that the threat of invasion

had receded and the Home

Guard units were disestablished.

Uniforms had to be returned

to the army but the former

guardsmen were allowed to keep

their army-issue boots.

College students have put

together packs for people

Year 12 students Lewie

As part of the class, the

boys surveyed people at the

City Mission’s night shelter

and put together the packs

which cater to their needs.

“It opened our eyes to

things, as when we were

doing research for items

it was quite amazing what

everyday items we take for

granted (which) homeless

people lack,” Lewie said.

He said after the survey

the team put together packs

which included medical kits,

crystaderm cream, socks, nut

bars, jackets, fleeces and a

Macpac bag.

The team approached

Macpac which donated the

backpacks free of charge.

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High

will host Nelson College in the

UC Championship semi-final on

Saturday as they look to defend

their title.

CBHS cruised to victory 57-21

in their final round-robin game

against Lincoln Combined at the

weekend. They previously defeated

fourth placed Nelson 13-11

in a tight encounter on June 24.

Going into the weekend, CBHS

looked odds on to face third

placed Timaru Boys’ High in the

semi-final. However, St Andrew’s

College pulled off a spirited comeback

to defeat Nelson 43-42.

The win wasn’t enough for fifth

placed St Andrew’s to qualify for

the top four. They will now turn

their attention to the plate competition,

played between the fifth to

eighth placed finishers.

ST ANDREW’S College and

Burnside High have made the

semi-finals in the Connetics

first XI football competition

tomorrow.

Burnside finished fourth and

will play minor premiership

winners St Thomas at 4pm, while

St Andrew’s finished second

and will take on third placed

Cashmere High at 6pm.

Both semi-finals will be played

at English Park.

St Andrew’s previously met

Cashmere in round two, with

Cashmere taking a 4-2 win at the

Christchurch Football Centre,

where all league games were

played this year. St Andrew’s

football co-ordinator Matt

Jansen said they have learnt a lot

since that loss.

“[We are] looking forward

to playing them again and

embracing the challenges that

the game will bring. We know

that we can play good football on

Burnside coach David

FORMER ST Margaret’s

College rower Star Davidson

Virginia, in the United States

to pursue her dream of one day

Davidson, 18, will start a

four-year stint at the University

National Collegiate Athletic

Association division one competition,

which includes more

than 350 universities across

the US.

“I am extremely excited to

settle in and get stuck into the

American lifestyle, as well as

the rowing and school work,”

she said.

She always wanted a “unique

university experience”, so she

buckled down and worked

hard at school and put the

hours in to be recognised as a

rowing talent.

Davidson started rowing

when she was 13 and developed

a huge love for the sport,

especially the competitive

nature of it.

“I have always been a competitive

person and winning is

something that I enjoy, rowing

helps me to fulfil this drive,”

she said.

GREAT food

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

Your fresh food people

ROASTED CARROTS WITH

ORANGES AND AVOCADO

Ingredients

2 cloves Garlic, crushed

1 Red chilli, deseeded and finely

chopped

1 tsp Cumin seeds, toasted and

ground

4 Tbsp Olive oil

500g Carrots, small, scrubbed

½ cup Vegetable stock

3 Oranges

1 Avocado, firm and ripe, halved,

stone removed and peeled

1 Lemon, juiced

¼ cup Pomegranate seeds,

optional

1 handful Basil leaves

Directions

Heat the oven to 200 deg C.

Place the garlic, chilli and cumin

in a small bowl and mix with one

tablespoon olive oil to make a

paste.

Place carrots in an ovenproof

dish and rub with the garlic

paste. Pour ½ cup vegetable

stock into the corner of the dish

to prevent unsettling the paste.

Cover the dish with foil and

place in the oven. Roast carrots

for 20-25min until just tender.

Remove from the oven and allow

to cool to room temperature.

Place carrots on a serving plate

and reserve cooking juices.

Segmenting an orange: Cut the

top and bottom off the orange.

Place one of the cut sides down

on a board. Starting at the top

and following the contour of the

orange, cut off the skin, leaving

no white pith behind. Working

over a bowl to catch the juice,

cut between the membranes to

release orange segments, reserve

juice. Place segments on top of

the carrots as you go. Repeat

with remaining oranges.

Slice the avocado and place

on the salad. Squeeze over the

lemon juice.

Make a dressing by whisking

the reserved orange juice with

the remaining oil and flavour

with some or all of the carrot

juices. Season with salt and

freshly ground black pepper.

Drizzle over enough dressing to

moisten the salad.

Scatter over pomegranate

seeds, if using, and the basil

leaves.

COURGETTES, MINT AND

BROWN RICE

Ingredients

300g Courgettes

400g Broad beans

1 Ltr Vegetable stock, hot

2 Shallots, medium, or a small

onion

60g Butter

250g Brown rice, short grain

½ cup White wine

3 Tbsp Mint leaves, chopped

1 handful Parmesan cheese

4 Courgette flowers, optional

Directions

Wipe the courgettes, then slice

them. Put them in a colander in

the sink, generously grind salt

over them and leave for at least

20min. Pod the beans, cook

them for 7-10min in very lightly

salted boiling water, then drain.

If the beans are large and you

have the inclination, pop them

out of their skins. Heat the stock

in a saucepan and keep warm

over a low heat.

Peel the shallots or onion

and chop finely. Cook in 40g of

butter until soft but not coloured,

stirring regularly so they don’t

brown. Add the rice, stir to coat

the grains in the butter, then

pour in the wine.

Let it almost evaporate, then

start to add the hot stock a

ladleful at a time, stirring almost

continuously. You will find that

the rice will take a good 40min

to cook to tenderness – that is,

considerably longer than white

risotto rice.

As the rice approaches

tenderness (at least 35min into

cooking), squeeze the courgette

dry and stir it in.

Continue cooking then, as the

rice is almost cooked, add the

beans, chopped mint and, if you

are using them, the courgette

flowers. Check the seasoning,

adding black pepper and a little

salt (you may not need any salt

at all), then stir in the remaining

butter and the grated parmesan.

Serve in warm shallow bowls,

with a little more cheese if you

wish.

Ensuring a safe work place

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or

on to the sports field?

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far

behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes

such as motor vehicle accidents.

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where

it is located.

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

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

Heat Transfer

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.

Learning through

experiences,

interactions and play

at Marshlands Nest

Roslyn Eason, fully trained and experienced

early childhood teacher, owns and operates

Marshlands Nest Early Learning Centre which

is an intimate centre with a maximum of 25

children.

Roslyn says “Our goal is to create a setting

where self-esteem, love, learning and respect

for others is prominent and where every child

leaves each day feeling secure and loved in

their special environment.

At Marshlands Nest they create a most

positive environment for children so they can

learn through all experiences and interactions

but most importantly through play.

They have a mixed licence which means

children of different ages play and interact with

each other. It allows siblings to be together

and gives solo children a chance to be part of

a larger family. It also means children do not

need to transition between rooms so can stay

with the same teachers and children.

Marshlands Nest does recognize the need

for age specific learning and a portion of each

day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with

others of the same age.

The team at Marshland Nest would love to

have you as part of their family, please feel

free to drop in or give them a call.

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.

REAL ESTATE

Best buy in Beckenham?

5 Piper Lane, Beckenham

Auction: Thursday 21st September 2017 (unless sold prior)

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing # BE192854

My vendor’s instructions are clear – this

house must be sold, on or before auction

day. You may well be surprised what they

may consider on auction day, so don’t delay

you could miss out on one of the best buys

in the suburb.

A builder’s own home, generously

proportioned with three double bedrooms

and two bathrooms. The master bedroom

is extremely large with a spacious ensuite.

With quality double glazing, including

Smartwood joinery and sited well for the

sun this home will be a delight to live in.

The living room opens onto a perfectly

proportioned private garden, enough space

to have some vegetables if you wish but

also small enough that you can enjoy your

weekends pursuing the many amenities

that the area offers.

Easy walking distance to the South

Library, cafes and local shops and zoned for

Beckenham Primary, Thorrington Primary

and close to a selection of other schools

such as St Peters, Rudolf Steiner, Hillview

Christian and St Marks. High school is

covered with zoning for Cashmere High.

The auction will be on 21st September

2017 (unless sold prior) from 12pm at 98

Moorhouse Ave.

Open Home: Saturday and Sunday

12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.

a private viewing of this property call
