Plea to

street
‘residents
only’
rejected
• By Julia Evans
FENDALTON residents have
failed in a bid to get motorists to
stop taking short cuts down their
street.
Rochdale St residents concerned
with rat-running in the area called
for the street to be made “residents
only” from Straven Rd during
an on-site meeting with the city
council.
But the city council said it would
not be possible.
Reporting back to the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, city council
staff said: “Making Rochdale St
residents only at Straven Rd is not
appropriate as it is a public road.”
The meeting was attended by
residents from Harakeke and
Rochdale Sts, city council staff,
and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board deputy
chairwoman Helen Broughton,
said Aaron Haymes, city council
manager operations transport.

Intersection wager causes stoush
• By Julia Evans
A STOUSH has broken out
between Aaron Keown and
John Stringer over a contentious
Harewood intersection.
City councillor Keown has
dismissed Papanui-Innes Community
Board member John
Stringer’s claim that the Gardiners,
Breens and Harewood Rds
intersection does not need traffic
lights.
Mr Stringer wrote an opinion
piece for last week’s Nor’West
News where he said upgrading
the intersection was “not a local
priority”. He said there had been
too much coverage on one side
of the argument.
But Cr Keown said that’s simply
not true.
“As the local city councillor,
I’ve been contacted by a lot of
residents about ‘their’ issue,
which is the Breens, Harewood
and Gardiners intersection, and
I am merely their spokesperson,”
he said.
Mr Stringer lives near the
intersection but is a member of
the Papanui-Innes Community
Board, which does not cover the
junction.
He suggested a traffic island
would be enough to “solve his
[Cr Keown’s] problem”.
But the city councillor said
MONOPOLY: John Stringer “claimed” city councillor Aaron
Keown’s (right) $100 reward.
installing traffic lights at the
intersection was not just an idea
he had come up with.
“The idea of traffic lights is not
mine but an idea of the people I
represent and I support them,”
he said.
Cr Keown said it is his job to
speak on behalf of the residents
of Harewood, who have asked
for this upgrade for years.
A petition signed by more
than 1000 people would suggest
lights are what they want.
“As elected members, it is
our job to speak on behalf of
our residents, and I’ve been
contacted about this intersection
more than any other issue ever
in my 10 years of being elected,”
Cr Keown said.
Mr Stringer said the intersection
at Johns and Harewood Rds
is more dangerous than the Gardiners,
Breens and Harewood
Rds intersection. He “claimed”
Cr Keown’s offer of $100.
The city councillor had offered
$100 to anyone who could
come up with a more dangerous
intersection than Gardiners,
Harewood and Breens Rds. But
Cr Keown said the Johns and
Harewood Rds intersection is
not in the city council’s jurisdiction,
nor is it more dangerous.
“I’ve only ever had a couple of
mentions of the Johns Rd and
Harewood Rd intersection as it’s
not even our jurisdiction – it is a
New Zealand Transport Agency
corridor,” he said.
Cr Keown said Mr Stringer’s
Monopoly money would not
help the issue at all.
“The real money needs to be
stumped up for an intersection
upgrade that the people of Harewood
say is long overdue,” Cr
Keown said.

Testimonials:
Doug Garlick
of Westport has been a
client of Greg's since the
late 1990's. Doug's
hearing loss is mainly
work related and has
been deteriorating over
the years. "I have tried
many hearing aids over
the years but I am totally
sold on my present
hearing aids. They are the
best yet and you hardly
know you are wearing
them. I hear sounds I
have not heard for many
years" says Doug. Doug
found the service
"fantastic" and "the whole
process and follow-ups
were excellent, friendly,
and informative."
Les Singer of Hokitika is
another very satisfied
client since 1995. Les lost
his hearing many years
ago and has worn a
number of hearing aids
over the years with each
model better than the
previous one. Wearing
hearing aids helps Les
communicate and
understand
conversations, particularly
with his wife, family, and
grandchildren. Hearing
aids has improved quality
of life and reduced stress
for all concerned. Les is
very happy with the
excellent service provided

Ilam electorate
McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
EMERGENCY EYE
SURGERY FOR JESS
Meet “Jess” an 8 year old black and
white moggy with real attitude,
who recently flew down from
Nelson to see Dr Steve Heap for
emergency surgery on her left eye.
Her primary vet at Alabama Vets,
had seen her a week earlier for a
painful superficial ulcer ( probably
from a cat scratch injury). Jess
was very hard to examine so
was started on topical eye
ointment and anti-inflammatory
medication. Jess was otherwise
well. She returned 2 days later as
her owners couldn’t medicate
the eye either. By this stage her
left eye was producing a bloody
infected discharge, had swelled
up and the ulcer had grown in
size. Her vet added in antibiotic
tablets and more medication
for inflammation, swelling
and pain but the next day the
ulcer looked no better. Jess
needed to be sedated as the
vet couldn’t examine this eye
with her awake. Her eye was
stained with fluorosein( as can
be seen in the attached photo)
and had become non healing
and so given the difficulty
in medicating Jess it was thought a better
way to go was surgery in Christchurch with
DrSteve Heap.
So Jess flew to Steve and was operated on
immediately to prevent the eye collapsing
and impaired vision. Steve performed
a lamellar keratectomy to remove the
dead, soft, spongy tissue on edges of the
deep stromal corneal ulcer. A conjunctival
flap was sutured over the large defect
to allow the perfect environment for
healing, meaning a good blood supply and
protection from environmental allergens.
Due to the difficulty in checking the healing
progress of Jess’s eye it was thought a good
idea to board her at McMaster & Heap vets
until Steve was happy that the ulcer was
healing. As we were still unable to get near

her eye to apply drops, long acting injections
were given for ease and for her comfort.
Needless to say she needs a head collar worn
to stop her irritating her eye, undoing all
Steve’s good work.
So far so good 4 days out from her surgery.
She is eating up a storm and feisty again
which means she’s back to her happy self.
Steve has given the all clear and she flies
home on Friday to her eagerly awaiting,
doting parents.
Steve sees at least 10 eye referrals daily and
many of these patients end up needing
surgery. Eye injuries can’t wait if the end
result is to save the eye and Steve will often
come into the clinic on his days off to see
emergency cases. The take home message
here is don’t wait with eye problems – get
them looked at early by your vet, as two eyes
are always better than one!!

David Lee - Green
Party
David is a native Cantabrian
with strong roots in
Ilam.
Connection and connectedness
are fundamental
to his vision for a better
Christchurch and a better
New Zealand.
A career urban planner,
David understands how
the physical world fosters
and sustains personal and
community wellbeing. Relationships
with our environment,
and connection to
the world at large, provide a
sense of identity, affiliation,
and belonging.
As MP for Ilam, David
will get Canterbury back
onto the government’s
agenda. Rebuilding critical
infrastructure and services
for a 21st-century city –
and beyond, investment
in transport networks and
clean water are essential for
Cantabrians to enjoy the
standard of living that all
New Zealanders deserve.
In central and local
government roles David
has been responsible for
environmental policy and
transport planning.
He is currently an elected
representative, leading
climate change, technology,
innovation and enterprise –
the way forward to address
environmental sustainability.
Raf Manji -
Independent
It’s been my privilege
to serve you as a local
councillor since 2013.
Much has been achieved
in that time but we are
still far from securing the
thriving 21st-century city
we envisaged back in
2011.
It’s been five years
since the blueprint and it’s
time for a reset and new
leadership.
You have two votes to
cast this election – one
for the party you want to
lead the next Government
and one for the person
you think can best
represent Ilam and
Christchurch’s interests in
Parliament.
As an independent I
will be free to focus on
local issues, such as water
quality, transport, health
and housing, as well as
continuing to make sure
the next Government
finishes the rebuild job
properly.
Christchurch needs a
strong, independent voice
in Wellington,
and someone who can
work with the next
Government.
And that’s why I’m
asking you to vote for
me as your electorate
candidate for Ilam.
Martin Frauenstein –
Conservative
Martin settled in Wellington
New Zealand in
1996.
Since 2011 he and his
wife have lived in the
Ilam electorate. He was a
solutions architect at the

years, and has since reestablished
his IT consultancy.
Martin holds a strong
sense of justice, and the
belief that offenders should
be held accountable for
their actions while being
rehabilitated to be
reintegrated as productive
members of society.
He has been an active
volunteer with Corrections
since 2012.
He holds the preservation
of life and strong
families dear. As a pro-life
advocate, supports the 40
Days for Life movement.
Voting, is a cornerstone
of democracy – the
voice of the people.
The Conservative Party
principle of binding
citizens-initiated referenda
therefore resonates
strongly with him.
The Conservative principles
of democracy, family
and justice offer voters the
chance to “hit the reset

My name is Martin

The Quake Outcast

court rulings in its favour,
at their own cost, the
Supreme Court deeming
that the red zone zoning is
unlawful.
The land and those

have been obtained by
the Government is by

right the wrong.

Nicky Wagner –
National
My focus has, and will
continue to be, making
Christchurch a city of
opportunity for all.
The last six years have
been tough and we still face
many unique challenges,
but I think we all want the
same thing — a vibrant,
people-friendly community
where our families can
thrive.
We want a great
education for our kids, we
want training and higher
learning opportunities,
we want jobs we like, we
want support services, solid
infrastructure and a safe
place to relax and enjoy
ourselves.
Christchurch continues
to go from strength to
strength, with strong job
growth, more visitors and
regeneration plans well
under way.
But, there’s plenty more
to be done.
That’s why I’ll be out
over the next 11 days
knocking on doors,
speaking to local groups,
attending events and
connecting with as many
people as possible.
I’m committed to helping
Christchurch get back on
its feet and ensuring it’s a
great place for everyone to
live, work and play.

If I’m elected to represent

By enabling drug addicts

By allowing class C drugs

Duncan Webb –
Labour
I choose to live in
Christchurch because it will
become the best place for
my family.
Labour’s plan – $300
million for the people of
Christchurch to choose
how they progress our
rebuild, an inquiry into
EQC, and compensation
for undue delays by insurers
– puts Christchurch and
Cantabrians first.
As a lawyer helping
homeowners battle for justice
I’ve seen what people
are still up against.
Six years after the earthquakes,
our people and our
city are still floundering;
that’s scandalous. The job is
not finished.
Investing in the city also
means investing in health.
Labour will properly fund
health, especially mental
health.
A strong city is one
where people can get the
help – whether that is
surgery, or counselling –
they need, especially our
children.
Let’s get this fixed.
I’m proud to be part of
a Labour team that has
the vision to help make
Christchurch the great
place we know it can be for
the future.

Christchurch Central electorate
Peter Richardson -
Green Party
Kia ora koutou.
I am standing as the
Green Party candidate
for Christchurch Central
because I believe in the
Green Party’s principles of
environmental wisdom, social
justice and community
decision-making.
I am a partner at Linwood
Law, living in Mairehau
and married with three
adult children. I have been
involved in the campaign
to protect Canterbury’s waterways
and aquifers, and
have built social housing in
the city.
In Government the
Green Party will fight to
protect our environment,
lift the most disadvantaged
out of poverty, and tackle
the pressing issue of climate
change.
We can do these things
while transforming our
economy from its present
low wage, low value, polluting
model, to a model
that encourages innovation,
productivity, high wages
and clean technology.
Our policies are fully
costed and financially
responsible.
Please give your party
vote to the Greens on September
23. We need a new
Government with a strong
green heart.

purposes.
To empower people to

dignity of the individual.
We believe adults have

Cannabis is the third
most widely used recreational
drug in New
Zealand after alcohol and
tobacco and the most
widely used illegal drug in
a population of more than
four million. 13.4% of those

the ninth highest cannabis

Philip Robinson - New
Zealand First
My name is Philip
Robinson and I am your
Christchurch Central
representative for the New
Zealand First political
party.
I am a patriotic New
Zealander, self employed,
and with many years of life
experience.
New Zealand First has
spent many years in Parliament
putting New Zealand
interests first in ownership
of our assets and sovereignty.
Control of our future
by ownership of our rural
and urban land by New
Zealand residents is a
cornerstone of New Zealand
First policy. As more
foreign-based ownership
takes hold and profits are
repatriated back to foreign
owners our country will
struggle to have enough
local capital for growth.
As we see now New
Zealand is becoming debt
ridden in both government
and private debt levels.
An $8 billion Government
debt 10 years ago has
expanded to a massive debt
of around $65 billion even
though there was extensive
sell-offs in power generation
and Air New Zealand
state assets.

My commitment to you

electorate to the best of
my ability.
National’s management
of New Zealand’s growing
economy resulted in direct
investment into Waimakariri,
including the Western

Corridor motorways.
Ten schools in the
electorate will open new

this year.
National is investing
more into our public services,

the mortgage, whether my
kids were going to miss
out on everyday things and
wondering if I will make it

These life challenges
turned my mild interest in

It is these experiences

equality, social justice and

everyone to get ahead.

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 – MEET THE CANDIDATES
Waimakairiri electorate
Benjamin Price –
Conservative Party
I have lived in the
Waimakariri electorate for
the last 20 years and have
worked in various roles
over that time – predominantly
in the IT sector.
I joined the Conservative
Party after seeing successive
governments completely
(and arrogantly)
ignore the directives of
New Zealanders, including
through citizen initiated
referenda.
The unfortunate result
has been numerous legislative
and social changes
that have not only been
detrimental to the effective
running of the country,
but also to the stability and
coherence of families.
Governments need to
be reminded that they
work for the citizens of the
country, not the other way
around.
•Other candidates standing in Waimakariri are Peter Adcock-White, Democrats
for Social Credit, Stuart Hawkins, ACT, Richard Prosser, New Zealand First, Aroha
Reriti-Crofts, Maori Party and Destiny Wiringi, Independent.

DESIGN: Christchurch Boys’ High School has opened its new hall.
Boys’ High opens $4.6m hall
• By Julia Evans
THE FIRST step in
Christchurch Boys’ High
School’s $32 million
upgrade is finished.
The school has
unveiled its new $4.66
million hall, which has
mezzanine seating for 1350
students.
Headmaster Nic Hill
said the hall was an
important milestone in the
school’s overall rebuild.
“It’s the first thing we’ve
finished – it was really
great for the boys,” Mr Hill
said.
He said the building is
“very modern” but has a
“traditional purpose”.
“We’re not bound by
tradition but we’ve got a
really clear mandate about
what the boys need from
the space.”
During the opening
assembly, Mr Hill spoke
to the students about the
hall representing the next
136 years in the school’s
future and the 136 years of
history behind it.
“The best story I heard
was a student sent his dad
a picture of his freshly
polished shoes. He’d
shined them to go into the
new hall,” he said.
The three-year facelift,
which began construction
last year, includes a new
block of 37 classrooms and
NOR’WEST NEWS
a gym.
Mr Hill said the school
is aiming to create spaces
that won’t date. The next
step is designing the
classroom block.
“We’ve spoken with
architects, as well as asked
students, parents and the
board of trustees what
they want in the design,”
he said.
Only a few of the
school’s original buildings
are set stay, including
the Deans’ farm heritage
buildings and the
Centennial building.
The main heritage
block will be repaired
throughout the course of
construction.

Bridge club finally settles down
• By Julia Evans
AFTER BEING nomadic
for more than six years, the
Bishopdale Bridge Club has
found a home.
With the opening of the
Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library
and Community Centre, the
club feels like it has finally
settled down, president Janet
Stokes said.
Prior to the February 22,
2011, earthquake, the 40-yearold
bridge club has “been
wandering”, Mrs Stokes said.
The club left the former
Bishopdale Library on
Farrington Ave and moved
down a few houses into St
Margaret’s Presbyterian Church
just before the quakes.
But it had to move again after
an arson attack last May caused
$2 million in damage to the
church, and the club lost all its
equipment.
Since the fire, the club has
been using space in Riccarton
provided by the Crockfords
Bridge Club.
She said the Riccarton club
had been most accommodating,
but it was good for the older
members, who found it
difficult to travel, to be back in
Bishopdale.
“We’re just thrilled to be back
in the local Bishopdale area,” she
said.
Earlier this year, the club was
approved a grant of $3000 by the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board to replace its
equipment. Mrs Stokes said
the club has been able to
purchase new specialist tables,
table cloths and equipment with
the grant.
The club’s 70 members, mostly
aged over 70-years-old, now
meet regularly in the “fresh”,

is going through a buoyant
regeneration. It doesn’t feel old
and tired anymore,” she said.

Teen chases
the fashion
dream
•From page 1
“It proved that it was a realistic
dream that I could chase. Really
opened my eyes to the opportunities.”
Unfortunately before Jane
could see any of her favourite
designers’ shows, she had to fly
back the next day for exam week
at school.
“I found it so hard concentrating
after that,” she said.
It was 90-year-old fashion icon
Iris Apfel who inspired the bright,
bold jacket design, which was
made from worn leather and recycled
material.
“Iris helped to inspire me and
push past my boundaries and
incorporate technique, colour and
texture all into one jacket,” she
said.
Jane put her heart and soul into
the jacket, which took more than
80 hours to create.
“I made each and every one
of the tassels covering the sleeve
and hand braided and cut the
front panels of the jacket,” she
said.
Jane said there were many
hours spent handmaking the tassels
in front of the television – but
they were all “worth it.”

Bryndwr church reopens
• By Julia Evans
THE VILLAGE Presbyterian
Church in Bryndwr has
celebrated the opening of its new
building.
The building replaced St
Stephen’s Presbyterian Church,
which was damaged in the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
PERFORMANCE: Burnside
Primary School pupils during
the opening celebrations.
During the ceremony,
Reverend Martin Stewart said
the original church built on
site in 1959 now combines St
Stephen’s and St Giles.
Part of the event was also
acknowledging that it has been
almost 20 years since the community
centre was established at
St Stephen’s.
“It’s been 20 years since the
community centre was formalised
here too,” Rev Stewart said.
He described the new church
as “open”, “light”, “welcoming”,
“comfortable” and not a “traditional”
church. Burnside Primary
School pupils performed
during the short ceremony
before a celebratory meal.

Staff investigated the rat running
after receiving complaints
from residents and found it
happens mostly in the morning
between Christchurch Boys’ and

Rochdale Precinct Society
spokesman David Nicholls said
while he wasn’t one of the
residents at the meeting, closing
the street to the public had been
something the group was definitely
behind.
He said it “would’ve been helpful”
if the city council listened to
the suggestion.
It comes as the Rochdale St

Court to put a stop to a proposed
“boutique funeral home” on their
street.

But as a result of the on-site

undefeated showing at the
tournament in Palmerston

Williams said captain Byron
Heath was a stand-out player
and was only two goals shy of
the golden boot award. Keeper
Christian Firth also stood out,
only letting in four goals and
saving a penalty in the final.

Palmer also played amazingly
well and Milan Clarke did a
perfect job as our centre back,”

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
BUTTERFLIED LAMB LEG
WITH ROSEMARY AND
GARLIC
Ingredients
1 bunch Flat leaf (Italian) parsley
1 bunch Fresh mint
2 medium Red onions, sliced
1 Butterflied boneless leg of
lamb, approx. 150-200g per
person
3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
3 Tbsp Chopped rosemary
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 cup White wine
Directions
ICEBERG LETTUCE,
WALNUT AND BLUE
CHEESE SALAD
Ingredients
1 Iceberg lettuce
1 Walnuts, toasted
1 Blue cheese
1 Walnut oil
1 Cider vinegar
Directions
Remove the outer leaves of a
small iceberg lettuce. Cut the
head into four wedges.
Toast some walnuts.
Crumble some good blue
cheese and, using the white bits
from the outer edges.
Make a creamy dressing by
blending them with walnut oil
and a little cider vinegar (olive
oil is fine if you don’t have
walnut).
Sprinkle the walnuts and the
blue cheese crumbs over the
crisp lettuce wedges and spoon
over the dressing.
Preheat oven to 220 deg C.
In a roasting tray, lay out the
parsley and mint, then add the
sliced onions.
Place the butterflied lamb leg
on top of the onions, fat side up
(there should be a thin layer of
fat on one side).
Score the lamb on the side
with the fat in large diagonal
shapes.
Sprinkle over a large pinch of
sea salt, and crack over plenty of
black pepper.
Rub the garlic into the slits
where you’ve scored it, then
sprinkle over the rosemary and
rub that in too. Drizzle over the
olive oil and rub into the skin.
Place the lamb on a high rack
in the oven and grill for 20-
25min (depending on its size)
until the skin crisps and goes
golden.
Remove from oven and add
wine to the tray.
Return the lamb to the oven,
but move it down from the top
shelf to the centre of the oven.
Roast for a further 20min.
Remove from oven, rest for
5-10min, then slice into thick
strips. Serve on a plate of fresh
parsley and sprinkle with
pomegranate seeds. Use the pan
juices and onion to make a gravy
if you wish.

Candles can cause chaos
• By Mark Thomas –
specialist fire investigator
I SUPPOSE in spring you
can expect some extremes
of weather, so the heavy
rain last weekend, followed
by a frost and then a
nor’wester shouldn’t be a
surprise.
Most people will have
seen the news about the
whole house slipping away
over in Charteris Bay but
less will be aware that
the same day a leak in a
commercial building in
Mandeville St caused a
large enough build-up of
water for portions of the
ceiling to collapse.
In these circumstances
fire crews can only do so
much, using tarpaulins to
either direct water away or
to protect contents.
THen those affected must
start the long process of
repair.
A couple of weeks ago I
mentioned the bad practice
of putting combustible
materials on a stove top.
You just never know when
an element might be on,
just turned off or turned
on while the article is
there.
THis happened again
on Monday evening in
Percival St. This time
a plastic coffee maker

to your style and personality.
was involved. Only
smoke damage resulted.
Unfortunately ‘only
smoke damage’ stinks and
continues to for days, or
even weeks.
Finally one of my pet
hates – candles, used for
ambience. A fire last week
at Rapaki was the result
of this practice where a
bath mat caught on fire.
So did the plastic bath.
Confusion ensued.
Finally the taps were
turned on causing water
to flow through the hole in
the bath to the level below
via a light fitting. All
because of candles. Please
don’t.

Golden Healthcare Group’s
position 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 providing
hotel-style accommodation
for those residents who enjoy
being part of a vibrant, social
community.
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
Hornby Working Men’s Club and the city.
Rest home care is provided in the Golden
Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest
Home, both of which also encompass
retirement villages. Brookhaven also
has a dementia care unit along with the
dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and
Somerfield rest homes. Furthermore,
the Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated
dementia wing, but the Hoon Hay House
on the same site specialises in mental
health.
Within the facilities, there are plenty
of opportunities to create unique
environments for differing requirements
for residents. Nursing care is provided
by registered nurses, and health is well
monitored. An activities co-ordinator
ensures residents will never be bored and
they participate in programmed activities,
games, sing-alongs with performances by
visiting entertainers, library book exchange
and exercise programmes. The group has
four vans to utilise for residents outings.
Golden Healthcare employs 260 at its
facilities which care for about 350 residents.
All staff are highly trained, experienced,
and qualified in their roles.
Respite care is also provided at all
facilities.

Methyl B-12
Research supports
eye health
Emerging research has shown as many as 50 per cent of older
adults and as many as 25 per cent of younger adults are deficient
in vitamin B12.
B12 is essential for energy production,
cell health, regulation of mood and
sleep cycles, nerve health and repair and
prevention of homocysteine - a serious
cardiovascular risk factor that is known
to cause damage and plaque in the blood
vessels. It can also increase the chances
of a stroke. Harvard researchers found
a 34 per cent decrease risk of vision loss
in a study of participants aged 40+ who
supplemented with B12. Another study
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
subjects in their 60s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
seems to be due to our body’s inability
to absorb it as we age, as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further reduce
B12 absorption.
The good news is B12 in the form of
Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that
are dissolved in the mouth and thru
bypassing the digestive tract have been
shown to effectively raise B12 levels in the
body.

Nutritional researchers have discovered a
range of nutrients that are essential for eye
health. Some of the most essential nutrients
that have been shown to protect and even
improve eye function are:
Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low
in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of
our foods. Researchers believe selenium
may help prevent cataracts, macular
degeneration (the leading cause of impaired
vision in older people) and may also
improve dry eyes and general eye health.
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage
of the population are low in. Zinc has been
shown to help protect the eyes from the
damaging effects of light as well as slow
vision loss due to macular degeneration.
Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene
(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have
potent antioxidant ability and help protect
the eyes from damage
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing
nutrients that have been shown in landmark
research to not only provide potent eye
protection but may even help reverse
some of the signs of age-related macular
degeneration (AMD).
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent
antioxidants may help protect the lens and
retina from damage and reduce the risk of
cataracts. They also may help improve blood
supply to the eye, strengthen the small
capillaries of the eye and may help improve
night vision, may alleviate many eye

ailments including eye fatigue that may be
caused by reading, driving and computers.
Eyebright may help normalise eye
pressure and reduce eye allergies.
Taurine is an amino acid that is essential
for correct eye function. It may also have a
detoxifying affect on the eye.
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.
It provides many nutrients, is rich in
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that
are potent antioxidants that may protect
eyesight.
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic
amount should provide comprehensive eye
protection, may slow and possibly even help
reverse eye damage that could lead to loss
of vision. All these nutrients are available
in an economical one a day easy to swallow
capsule.

Local workshop provides
full servicing and repairs
Although it is a small suburban workshop, Hoon Hay Automotive
in Hoon Hay Road offers the full range of vehicle servicing and
repairs, the same as you would find in larger businesses.
Owner Grant Prior is a fully qualified
mechanic, as is his employee Wade, and
the pair service all types of vehicles, from a
basic service to a full going-over.
They also provide transmission flushes,
coolant changes, cam belt replacement,
and all electrical and mechanical repairs
using the workshop’s diagnostic tools to
assess the problems.
Hoon Hay Automotive also supplies and
fits tyres, with a variety of brands available
from entry-level Hi Fly tyres right up to
performance tyres, so everyone is catered
for.
They supply and fit the quality Century
Yuasa batteries, which carry a two-year
warranty.
WoFs for all types of vehicle as well as
trailers are also provided.
But while Grant, Wade and office
manager Sarah carry out all the day-to-day
work, the real star of the business is Jessie
the meet and greet dog, who welcomes
customers with a friendly wag of the tail
and makes sure every customer leaves

RYMAN HEALTHCARE
A brand new kitchen is a key feature of the refurbished townhouses
Major refurbishments enhancing
retirement village townhouses
Already widely recognised as a
beautifully appointed retirement
village in Papanui, near Northlands
mall, the Ngaio Marsh Retirement
Village, which is part of the Ryman
Healthcare group, is currently
undergoing major refurbishments to
its townhouses. A full refurbishment
of the village centre will also be
carried out in 2018.
While the practice has been
for each of the one, two and
three-bedroom townhouses to be
redecorated as residents have moved
out, now they are having more
substantial renovation work done.
When a townhouse is vacated,
a brand-new kitchen with stone
bench-top, dishwasher and waste
disposal unit will be installed,
the bathroom will be upgraded
with tiled flooring and underfloor
heating, and a second toilet added
where possible.
A heat pump and double-glazing
will provide comfort and warmth
for residents, while most of the
townhouses will also have brandnew
carpets and drapes fitted.
The décor of the townhouses is
also being updated, with soft neutral
tones creating an elegant, restful
environment.
Ngaio Marsh has two of these
refurbished townhouses currently
available for retired people who
would like to enjoy the benefits of
independent living in this lovely,
resort-style village.
There are numerous advantages
to retirement living at Ngaio Marsh,
with a key one being the guarantee
of fixed weekly fees*. The weekly fee
new residents pay when they move
into a townhouse remains the same
for the duration of their time in that
townhouse.*
While enjoying the same fully
independent lifestyle they have
always had, townhouse residents
can participate in any of the village
activities on offer and use the leisure
facilities whenever they choose
to. Indoor and outdoor bowls,
petanque, croquet, pool, a gym,
swimming pool and spa pool, a
well-stocked library, a shop, and hair
salon are all available for them.
They can take part in the
exclusive Ryman Triple A Exercise
Programme, and also go out on the
regular shopping trips and outings
in the village van, all of which
means they have the benefit of
independent living, combined with
the companionship of their fellow
residents when they wish.
A sense of security is provided
with 24-hour emergency call alarms
ensuring there is always help on
hand if needed, they can potter in
the garden outside their townhouse,
and family members can visit
whenever they like.
Ngaio Marsh runs a regular
activities programme, which
includes guest speakers, who
come from a range of professional
groups and private and government
organisations to provide interesting
and stimulating talks for the
residents.
There is also a wide variety of
musical entertainment, which is
always popular. Performers include
an NZSO chamber group, young
singers from the Dame Malvina
Major Foundation, which Ryman
sponsors, and individual musicians
singing and playing guitar.
In addition to all these benefits,
there is the Ryman Difference,
which further sets Ngaio Marsh
apart. This includes the fixed weekly
fee*, which stops immediately when
the townhouse is vacated, a 90-day
money-back guarantee* and four
hours of house cleaning at no cost
for residents leaving their home and
moving into Ngaio Marsh.
Next year, the village centre will
come under the refurbishment
spotlight. The project will include
a new movie theatre, extension
and upgrading of the library, the
hair salon being fully refurbished,
upgrading of the dining room and
a new cafe where baristas will make
the coffee.
*Terms and conditions apply
Joan and Ernie Selenger relaxing in their townhouse
“The whole village
has great people”
Ernie and Joan Selinger moved
into their Ngaio Marsh townhouse in
March 2016, and couldn’t be happier
with their home and lifestyle.
Joan, who was a nurse throughout
her working life, both in New
Zealand and in her husband’s home
country of Canada, says when she
and Ernie felt ready to move in to a
retirement village they looked round
a few places, including Ngaio Marsh.
They talked to sales advisor Marie
Kyle-Stevenson, who showed them
a townhouse that was available, and
that was it – an instant decision to
move in.
“It had nice views of the gardens,
and we liked that,” Ernie says.
He says what they especially enjoy
about living at Ngaio Marsh is the
choice of activities.
“You can be as active as you want
to be. And the management are very
helpful – they encourage you to get
involved in things.”
Ernie goes to the gym most
days, spending 40-50 minutes on
the rowing machine, and using the
swimming pool and spa as well.
Not so much a “gym bunny”, Joan
says, she started a 500 Club, with 22
members now enjoying the popular
card game every Wednesday.
She also likes gardening and has
planted a veggie patch outside their
home.
An avid reader, Ernie enjoys
visiting the library, and is very
impressed with the services of
librarian resident Dawn Marshall,
who is in her 90s.
Both Joan and Ernie thoroughly
enjoy their neighbours, too.
“It’s a great neighbourhood,” Ernie
says. “The whole village has great
people – they have a great sense of
humour, and we’re all here for the
same reason.”
And as Joan says, “The most
important thing is people should
move into the retirement village
while they are still able to enjoy the
lifestyle. The resthome and the care
are all there if they need it later.”
Townhouses provide independence and easy maintenance
Refurbished townhouse

facilities right on your doorstep!

HEALTH & AWARENESS

Anxiety and breathing
– are they related?
When good breathing goes bad
Have you experienced any of these
breathing difficulty symptoms?
• Disturbed sleep
• Erratic heartbeats*
• Feeling anxious and uptight
• Upset gut/nausea
• Chest pains*
• Shattered confidence
• Tired all the time
• Achy muscles and joints
• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out
• Irritability or hypervigilance
• Frequent yawning and sighing
• Breathing discomfort*
• Pins and needles
• Feelings of ‘air hunger’
*Check with your doctor if you experience
these symptoms.
These questions are asked on
the website www.BradCliff.com.
BradCliff was started by North Island
physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and
Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in
hyperventilation and anxiety treatment.
Their website notes one in 10 people
experience some form of breathing pattern
disorder or chronic over breathing at some
time in their lives, resulting in a range
of disturbing or frightening symptoms
puzzling to you and your doctor.
You feel unwell because of overbreathing,
and overbreathing makes you feel unwell.
A vicious cycle is established, which is a
major stress all by itself. This is experienced
currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje
van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio.
As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast
and in the upper chest when we are in danger
and fight or flight is needed. We know all
about that here, due to the earthquakes.
Normally, once the danger is gone, our
breathing should restore itself within a
couple of days. We would then be using the
diaphragm for our normal nonstressed
breathing. We have been having a hard
time restoring our breathing pattern
here in Canterbury because every time
our body tried to achieve that, the next
aftershock came rolling in. Even though the
aftershocks have significantly diminished,
some people’s fight or flight mode
breathing has become chronic, or habitual,
Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the
wrong muscles for breathing means these
overworked muscles cause headaches, neck
pain and jaw pain.
With fast upper chest breathing, sighing
and yawning, the resulting disturbance
of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
can give us the feeling we are not able to
control our own body. One moment you
are feeling fine, next moment your chest
feels tight, you feel out of breath, your
heart beats erratically and you may even
experience dizziness and/or tingling.
Very scary if you do not understand what
is happening. No wonder this causes
anxiety. Not being the boss over our own
body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the
faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on.
The BradCliff physiotherapists have
established a national network of
practitioners that regularly train together
and can help you overcome this problem.
Physical Sense is part of that network.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

HEALTH & BEAUTY
New hope for patients
suffering from MS,
strokes or spinal injuries
For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental
health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment
that brings fast, and often immediate results.
Special offer for SepTeMBer - if
you have suffered a stroke, spinal injury
or have MS, then this article is for you.
A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan
established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch
in 1993. As she continued her research and medical
practice, she discovered a reflexology network on
the human body, an exciting new discovery that
became the foundation of her new treatment –
acupuncture without needles.
Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument
to stimulate the reflexology points on the face
or other parts of the body. When the point is
stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the
repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan
explains, the treatment increases energy, which
boosts the body’s healing system.
The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but
that is a slow process. In addition, many people will
start to use their injured part, for example a knee
or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore
prolonging the injury and even causing chronic
pain.
With her powerful treatment, results are produced
very quickly – even instantly.
She likens it to the differences between the
power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane
– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –
reflexology network.
It brings fast results because it is a very precise
treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people
of all ages with many different types of pain in all
parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS,
and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects.
Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing
low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s
treatment.
Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant
improvement for muscle weakness and numbness
caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke
and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan
reflexology to see lots of instant results videos.
Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology
Network, which introduces the treatment and
explains how it works. Her website, www.
drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment
videos, where people who have had the treatment
speak about the fast relief it has brought them.
Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10
patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury
half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168,
