Trees given a reprieve by court 

Work on 

Northern 

Corridor 

delayed 

• By Julia Evans 

NORTHERN Corridor work is 

on hold after a court order was 

taped to trees on Cranford St. 

Last Monday, Small World 

Preschool and Nursery owners 

Keith and Sue Wayman attached 

the Environment Court ruling 

from Fletcher Building Ltd 

against the city council to two 

trees that were about to be cut 

down. 

They also taped on a sign that 

read: “This tree is protected by a 

court order.” 

“We laminated the court order 

to the trees and the workers 

took off like scolded cats,” Mr 

Wayman said. 

He said the trees, which were 

supposed to be removed as part 

of the Northern Corridor upgrade, 

were still there yesterday. 

Treetech was contracted to 

remove the trees by the city 

council. It would not comment 

on the matter. 

Mr Wayman said it was not 

Treetech’s fault as it was only doing 

the work of the city council 

and the New Zealand Transport 

Agency, which he would lodge 

formal complaints to. 

He said the work was in breach 

of the order from last December, 

which includes judge-approved 

designs for the stretch of road 

along Cranford St between Mc- 

Faddens Rd and the rural zone. 

In October Nor’West News 

reported businesses including 

the nursery, The Cranford Ale 

House and PlaceMakers are 

unhappy the city council has 

proposed Northern Corridor 

designs that do not match that 

ruling. 

“I think we’ve caused enough 

fuss for them to take us seriously,” 

he said. 

The design includes cycle lanes 

that take away all on-street parking, 

which Mr Wayman said 

would put them out of business. 

“The judge made the designs 

very clear . . . and we’re not asking

is ruling,” Mr Wayman said. 

The city council is expected to 

release its final designs for the 

Northern Corridor this week.

from the editor’s desk 

CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right on 

the radar but there’s another big event 

looming too – the City2Surf. 

Yep, it’s only a handful of months away 

(see page 4) so it’s time to start lacing up 

those running shoes and pounding the pavement or local park 

to get in some sort of shape. 

The great thing about the City2Surf – and this hasn’t 

changed over the decades – is that anyone regardless of shape 

or fitness level can take part. 

A face that will appear on the marketing of City2Surf this 

year is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian pastor. 

And remember it’s a family event – children 10 and under 

are free to participate.

Getting into the spirit for City2Surf

Native bush plan mooted 


MORE THAN 150 years 

after its last tree was chopped 

down, Papanui Bush may be 

reinstated. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board is looking to regenerate 

the forest that took up 36ha 

between what is now Papanui 

High School 

and Vagues Rd 

in 1850. 

The modern 

native forest 

plan is 

proposed for 

Bridgestone 

Reserve on 

Mike Davidson 

Langdons Rd. 

It would make 

it only the second in the city 

alongside Riccarton Bush. 

City councillor Mike Davidson 

said he is pushing for the 

project to create a native bush 

in his ward that the community 

can be proud of. 

“If we can reclaim a bit of history 

in Papanui, that would be a 

really good thing . . . but it’s got 

to be done properly,” he said. 

It will be a huge recreational 

attraction for the community, 

which would be involved in the 

planting of the bush, as well as 

providing habitats for native 

bird and encourage growth in 

NATIVE: The possibility of rejuvenating Papanui Bush, which was cut down more than 150 years 

ago is being investigated. 

population, Cr Davidson 

said. 

It was one most significant 

landmarks the settlers saw as 

they walked over the Port Hills 

to establish Christchurch but the 

land was divided in a ballot and 

the trees were felled. 

According to a paper by the 

Papanui Heritage Group the 

bush was made of totara, rimu, 

kahikatea and matai. The last 

totara tree was cut down in 1861, 

years after the rest of the bush 

was gone. 

Bridgestone Reserve is a bit 

smaller than Cr Davidson was 

hoping for. But he said he could 

work with it. 

A city council feasibility report 

will come back from staff later in 

the week so the board can work 

on submitting a proposal for the 

Long Term Plan. 

Cr Davidson said it would 

only need a start up capital of 

about $10,000. “I’m hoping to 

find some money in this year’s 

budget for it,” he said. 

A project like this would take 

a lot of time for the trees to develop, 

so he wants to get it under 

way as soon as possible.

TREE REMOVAL 

Fifty-five eucalyptus and pine 

trees will be removed from 

Belfast’s Styx Mill Conservation 

Reserve to enable planting of 

native trees. Following the 

removal of the trees, the area will 

be replanted with1200 native 

trees and shrubs including 60 

totara and matai. A number of the 

existing pine trees will be retained 

to provide habitats for cavitynesting 

native birds. 

FLORAL THEFTS 

The Friends of Abberley Park 

group has taken to posting 

pictures of the plants whose 

flowers have been cut and 

removed from the park on its 

Facebook page to shame the 

“vandals” that do it. The most 

recent incident saw a peony rose 

bush lose more than 35 flowers 

and another lose 12. “Shame 

on these thieving vandals,” the 

Facebook post said. 

SAFETY IMPROVED 

A $76,000 pedestrian island is 

being put in near Cotswold School 

on Gardiners Rd and Fairford St 

to increase safety after calls from 

the community. The location 

will provide a safe crossing point 

for all pedestrians, although a 

city council pedestrian survey 

found the majority of pedestrians 

crossing were Cotswold pupils. 

Who knew it would be so 

wonderful 

tohear 

my grandkids 

play music poorly 

Wishing you a happy 

and safe holiday season

Getting into the spirit of 

• By Andrew King 

JESEL ROYOKADA embodies 

everything that is the Star Media 

City2Surf. 

Last year he was photographed 

leaping into the air after crossing 

the line capturing the spirit of the 

event. 

Now, the Christchurch Fijian 

Seventh-Day Adventist Church 

pastor has asked his congregation 

of about 80 to get involved in the 

event as a way to connect with 

other cultures. 

“We come from the islands and 

sometimes we do things in our 

own island groups but it is good 

to get involved with the rest of 

the community,” he said. 

The 31-year-old encouraged 

about 25 of his parishioners to 

get involved in the event last year 

“It was the first time our 

church has got involved with 

something like this,” he said. 

He said they were told 

about the event by Healthy 

Families Christchurch, part 

of a nationwide Government 

initiative aimed at helping New 

Zealanders live healthy, active 

lives. 

“I would like to see all 80 of 

them out there, and their friends 

and families. We can even have 

kids in prams at the event,” he 

said. 

He said they will start to train 

soon for the event, which will be 

held on March 18. 

The event is split into two 

sections – 6km and 14km. 

The Star Media City2Surf with 

Les Mills 14km event starts in 

Centennial Park, Spreydon, at 

9am. 

The Sport Canterbury 6km 

event starts at 10am in Hansen 

Park, Opawa. 

Both finish at the Ferrymead 

playing fields. There will be 

after-event entertainment 

with live music, food and free 

children’s entertainment in the 

finish area. 

Earlybird entries open online 

on December 1 and cost $20. 

They can be purchased from

Standard entry from January 1 

will cost $25 online or tickets can

Public in roading discussions 


FENDALTON residents will 

know how roading issues in the 

area will be dealt with this week. 

City council staff will send a 

report out to members of the 

the Glandovy, Idris and Straven 

Residents’ 

Association 

this week, group 

spokesman 

James Wilding 

said. 

He said a 

Karleen 

Edwards 

more detailed 

report will 

be sent to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board before its 

next meeting. 

City council staff and 

members of the board met 

with residents’ association on 

Wednesday to discuss traffic and 

roading issues in the area. 

THe meeting came after 

Nor’West News revealed city 

council chief executive Karleen 

Edwards recommended traffic 

and road layout issues be dealt 

with behind closed doors 

and a working party was not 

established. 

But the board rebutted the 

idea and kept the table open. 

“As is the nature of such 

meetings, there was a frank 

TROUBLING: The Glandovy, Idris and Straven Residents’ Association wants to address traffic 

and roading issues before a cyclist or pedestrian is injured. 

exchange of views. Our sense is 

that those present recognised 

that there were serious traffic 

issues that needed addressing, 

and swiftly,” association 

spokesman James Wilding 

said. 

THe group proposed a calm 

road network for the area, 

40km/h signage outside nearby 

schools and for freight to use 

the strategic freight network. As 

well as pushing for the narrow 

cycleways to be updated. 

THe issues are being dealt with 

by city councillors Raf Manji 

and Aaron Keown, as well as 

transport staff. 

Mr Wilding said the group 

will still push to create a formal 

working group with the city 

council. 

“Our hope is still to work 

in partnership with the board 

and city council, including by 

way of a working group which 

includes community, the board 

and council staff, including 

traffic, health, urban design and 

heritage staff,” he said.

Call to 

investigate 

cycling initiative 



CONCERNS HAVE been 

raised over publicity of a cycling 

initiative at Jellie Park Sports and 

Recreation Centre. 

Staff at the centre not knowing 

about the initiative at all, and a 

lack of advertising, has prompted 

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board to 

ask city council staff investigate 

urgently. 

The campaign to get less people 

driving to Jellie Park in a bid 

to clear the congested car park 

means if you cycle five times, you 

receive free pool entry and a bottle 

of water. 

The initiative was first run in 

February with only a “small to 

moderate uptake,” city council 

western area operations manager 

Martin McGregor said. 

It was recommended the 

programme be dropped. But a 

second campagin, running from 

now through summer, was called 

for by the board as it said a longer 

trial was necessary for a greater 

uptake. As well as being in warmer 

months when more people are 

likely to cycle. 

It was previously suggested that 

the scheme would be rolled out 

across all city council sport and 

recreation centres.

Chance to 

reconnect with 

school before 

demolition 


FORMER BISHOPDALE School 

pupils have been invited to visit 

one last time. 

The school’s 60-year-old buildings 

are being demolished during 

the school holidays as work begins 

on the $4.38 million rebuild. 

Principal Sue Fisher said anyone 

who wants to go back, take photos 

and visit the classrooms is more 

than welcome. 

“People from Bishopdale seem 

to live in this area forever,” she 

said. 

She said there is a huge community 

connection in the suburb, 

especially as its going through a 

regeneration with the new library 

and redevelopment of the mall. 

Demolishing the first block will 

begin in January, with the new 

building beginning construction 

in March and the rebuild expected 

to finish late next year. 

“They [the Ministry of Education] 

want to have it done in the 

holidays because it’s not desirable 

to have children and asbestos in 

the same space,” Mrs Fisher said. 

Anyone who wants to go 

through the school has until December 

15. Phone the school on 

352 9354 to arrange a time. 

RIDING ITS recent wave of 

success, the film A Perfect Child 

has brought home two more 

awards for its St Margaret’s and 

Christ’s College producers. 

The 18min short film, written 

and produced by St Margaret’s 

and Christ’s College students 

Nina Hogg and Simon Brown 

won Best New Zealand Film 

and Best Secondary School Film 

awards at the Uni Shorts Film 

Festival at the end of November. 

This year’s line-up saw 36 

finalists from New Zealand, the 

United States, Israel, Australia, 

Switzerland, Germany, Spain 

and the Netherlands across six 

categories with the winners 

being named at the opening 

night of the festival at Unitec in 

Auckland. 

The judging panel included 

award-winning filmmaker Alyx 

Duncan, renowned actress, 

writer and director Aidee Walker 

and internationally acclaimed 

animator Katie Naeher. 

They praised the film for its 

strong premise and depth of 

talent. 

The festival is a platform for 

for emerging student filmmakers 

and screening of selected new 

student film work – the biggest 

film festival of its type in Australasia. 

A Perfect Child is the work of 

around 60 students from the two 

schools and tells the story of Ava, 

a young girl in an orphanage 

who comes to realise that fellow 

orphans are being cloned to create 

perfect children. 

The film took a year to make 

with students involved in every 

aspect of production, including 

writing, directing, casting, 

costuming and post-production, 

even an original film score composed 

by year 13 student Jeremy 

Lidstone.

School zone not likely to expand 


CHILDREN LIVING less than 

2km from Redwood primary 

are not guaranteed entry to the 

school. 

And the Ministry of Education 

has vetoed a call from the school 

to change that. 

Principal John 

Stackhouse said 

in the process of 

the Prestons Rd 

school’s $4.9 million 

rebuild, the 

ministry rejected 

Katrina 

Casey 

a request for an 

expansion to the 

enrolment zone. 

It also wants the 

roll to be cut by about 40 pupils. 

Without an increase to the 

tight admission zone, Mr Stackhouse 

said children who live less 

than a 90sec car ride away from 

the school are not guaranteed a 

place. 

They have to go through the 

ballot system, which does not 

take proximity to the school into 

consideration. 

“We actually have the smallest 

zone in the city,” he said, which 

is encased in a few blocks around 

Daniels Rd, Main North Rd, Prestons 

Rd and Willowview Drive. 

Said board of trustees chairwoman 

Ana Connor: “It doesn’t 

feel right to turn local children 

away.” 

Mrs Connor said the school 

has had several meetings with 

the ministry and informal meetings 

with other schools in the 

area. 

Ministry of Education deputy 

secretary sector enablement and 

support Katrina Casey said it appreciates 

the challenge Redwood 

is facing but there is a challenge 

catering to roll growth and decline 

across the city. 

“Any expansion of the Redwood 

zone to the west or south 

will result in the school being 

less able to cater for projected 

growth in the Redwood School 

catchment. This would impact 

negatively on neighbouring 

schools,” Ms Casey said. 

But she said the ministry 

is happy to meet the board of 

trustees again and discuss the 

issues. 

Mr Stackhouse said the school 

and board would keep trying to 

change the ministry’s mind. 

The complications have been 

caused by the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, he said. 

“After the quakes, we had a 

FRUSTRATION:

School zone

drop in roll as people moved 

away or were forced out of their 

homes.” 

But Mr Stackhouse said families 

have been coming back into 

the area and with it, an increase 

in pupils. 

The rebuild of the school is 

currently in the early planning 

stage, with work expected to 

begin at the end of next year and 

finished in 2019. 

“The initial plans have gone 

back to the ministry to have 

initial costing, then detailed 

planning will commence term 1 

next year,” he said.

Mayor defends 

funding cuts 


MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has 

defended the decision to slash 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board’s funding. 

Ms Dalziel wrote a letter to 

the community board, which 

explained the city council’s decision 

to cut the board’s funding 

from $402,860 for the 2017/18 by 

about $85,000. 

Ms Dalziel said the process 

which the city council used to 

allocate the funding was an improvement 

on the previous process, 

which had “a lack of clear 

rationale” and was “ad hoc.” 

“While this process worked 

well for some boards, others 

received disproportionately less 

funding,” the letter said. 

Ms Dalziel said the new process 

is based on measurable data, 

is transparent and less costly to 

administer. It uses population 

data as well as the social deprivation 

index. 

But she said although the 

social deprivation index has its 

“limitations” it is still the best 

tool available. 

Ms Dalziel wrote that 

she encouraged the board’s 

working together across the 

board boundaries to support 

organisations.

Important theme in school production 

SAVING THE world’s 

endangered animals was the 

theme of the annual St Margaret’s 

College junior school production. 

Written by the school’s 

performing art’s department, 

Museum Alive involved all pupils 

from years 1-6. 

The production was set in the 

year 2067 where a group of children 

take a trip to the museum 

and get sent back to 2017. 

They meet some endangered 

animals who, through song and 

dance, say what is threatening 

their survival. The children are 

motivated to want to try and 

change the course of history and 

save the animals from extinction.

Band gets into 

the swing of it 

THE ALL Girl Big Band set out 

to inspire the younger female 

students from St Andrew’s 

College to pick up brass or wind 

instruments. 

The concert in the Centennial 

Chapel was for girls years 5 to 10. 

But the school’s jazz big band 

only has a few girls in it, so it is 

encouraging more girls to learn 

those instruments and develop a 

love for jazz. 

Music, dancing, singing and 

laughter filled the chapel.

Teacher nominated for award 


CO-DEVELOPING AN entirely 

new school curriculum has earned 

Simon Christie a nomination for a 

teaching award. 

The year 7 Selwyn House teacher 

has made the finalist in the technology 

category of the Education HQ 

New Zealand Unsung Hero award 

for his work on the mechatronics 

course. 

The curriculum is for year 1 to 8 pupils and combines 

mechanical engineering, mathematics, science, technology 

and the arts. 

It engages the pupils in real-world, local problems to 

solve. In Mr Christie’s class, pupils designed tools to be 

used by his tetrapalegic mother-in-law.

Photographers captured the heart of the 

Bishopdale community in the village mall during the 

Christchurch Documentary Project.

afternoon tea at their Bishopdale home where 

they have lived for the last 30 years. 

Bishopdale in focus 


BISHOPDALE was in front of 

the camera lens as its community 

was captured in a photography 

documentary. 

A year-long photography 

project by Canterbury University 

fine arts students finding the 

essence of the suburb is open to 

the public at Bishopdale Library. 

The Christchurch 

Documentary Project cast its 

eyes on Halswell in 2015, then 

the city’s east last year. 

But from April to August, 

Bishopdale was the subject of 

students Thomas Herman, Liam 

Lyons, Elise Williams, Janneth 

Gil and Lucas Perelini’s cameras. 

From the iconic elephant slide 

at Bishopdale Park to long-term 

tenants at the mall, Ms Gil said it 

was a fantastic opportunity to dig 

deep into the community that 

often flies under the radar. 

“I met many amazing people 

but I always will remember 

The Burnside Scottish Country Dance Club, which meets on 

Farrington Ave. 

Raymond and Colleen Holland. 

They are such a sweet couple and 

they have been living in the area 

for more than 30 years,” she 

said. 

Ms Gil said the pair had many 

amazing stories to tell about their 

community. 

The aim of the documentary 

project is to create a photo 

archive of the city post-natural 

disaster for future generations 

to see, focusing on different 

suburbs. 

City council project 

manager Sam Ludemann said 

Bishopdale was chosen as there 

is a significant change and 

rejuvenation happening in its 

community at the moment. 

That includes the opening 

of the new library and mall 

upgrades, he said. 

“There’s going to be something 

of real value – an exhibition 

but also a body of work that 

represents the people in the 

community.”

Success for water polo squads 


ST BEDE’S and St Margaret’s 

were the top water polo 

squads at the South Island 

junior secondary schools 

championships. 

Competing in Christchurch 

over three days at both Jellie 

Park Recreation and Sports 

Centre and Rangi Ruru Girls’, 

the St Bede’s year 9/10 side 

won the division one boys title 

while St Margaret’s year 9/10 

team won the division one 

girls crown. 

Christ’s College and St Andrew’s 

placed second and third 

in the boys and Marlborough 

Girls’ and Dunedin’s Columbia 

College placed second and 

third in the girls. 

St Bede’s Patrick O’Neill was 

named boys most valuable 

player for the tournament. 

Coach Cooper Stewart said 

the team gelled really well especially 

off the back of Patrick 

and his brother Sam. 

“They both are something 

else. They really stood out in 

the tournament,” he said. 

The O’Neill boys are identical 

twins, which proves difficult 

for Stewart to tell them 

apart. 

“They switch shoes 

sometime just to mess with 

us. They are very identical,” he 

laughed. 

St Margaret’s Violette Perry 

was named girls MVP. 

Director of sport Helen 

Belcher said the team of young 

girls will take a lot of confidence 

away from the tournament 

win. 

“There were also some solid 

performances by the senior 

members and together as 

a team they worked well to

Gold Coast event for 

Papanui baseball player 


PAPANUI HIGH student 

Owen Dabkowski has been 

selected to play for the 

Super City Spartans in the 

Gold Coast summer classic 

baseball tournament in 

Australia in January. 

The 13-year-old has been 

playing baseball since he was 

five and currently plays for 

Southern Astros club based 

in Avonhead Park. 

He said he was looking 

forward to competing 

overseas. 

“I am looking forward to 

meeting new people and being 

able to compete at a high 

level for New Zealand,” he 

said. 

He said it would be great 

to get more students into the 

sport. 

“It is not popular at all [at 

Papanui High]. I think that 

I am the only one that plays. 

I’d like to introduce it to 

more students though,” he 

said. 

Ultimately, he would like 

to get a scholarship to play in 

the United States. 

Owen has been busy 

fundraising towards the cost 

of the trip through running 

sausage sizzles, quiz nights, 

a St Albans market day sale 

and car washing.

The classic has been run 

since 2016 and will feature 

at least 18 teams participating 

in the various age group 

levels this year. 

The aim of the tournament 

is to develop players and the 

game of baseball.

“I was quite pleased with myself 

and happy with the result. The wind 

got a bit tricky later in the day but 

they were really good games,” she 

said. 

Now she is focusing on three upcoming

and an ITF under-18 tournament in

Students raise $1400 for girls with parents in prison 

MORE THAN $1400 was 

raised to buy Christmas 

presents for girls with parents 

in prison. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

year 7 and 8 pupils held their 

annual market day, with 

profits going towards the 

presents. 

The year 8 pupils bought 

the Christmas gifts while the 

year 7 girls wrapped them 

and made cards. 

Dean Rebecca Allen said 

the pupils hand made the 

goods that largely sold out. 

“The day was a culmination 

of learning over the past 

term and it was a credit to the 

girls entrepreneurship and 

team work. They were able 

to share their learning with 

their families and their community,” 

she said.

snuck under the tree by mum and dad, 

the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building 

blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and 

pretty dresses currently filling the shops

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 DeceMBer - 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,

SENIOR LIVING 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as 

many as 50% of older adults & as many 

as 25% of younger adults are deficient 

in vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush 

University Medical Center found those 

most deficient in vitamin B12 to have the 

smallest brain mass & the lowest scores 

on tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration & brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains & score 

higher on cognitive tests than those with 

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark 

study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain 

shrinkage & declining cognitive function. 

B12 is essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles, 

nerve health & repair, & prevention of 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

& plaque in the blood vessels. It 

can also increase 

the chances of a 

stroke. Harvard 

researchers found 

a 34% decrease risk 

of vision loss in a 

study of participants 

aged 40+ who supplemented with B12. 

Another study linked a higher risk of 

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who 

were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication & other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth & 

thru bypassing the digestive tract have 

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels 

in the body. 

Further detailed information is 

available from the Natural Health 

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. 

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain 

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing, 

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

RED CROSS 

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

Reading to Dogs 

Tuesday, 3.30-4.30pm 

These sessions have been 

designed to provide a relaxed and

encourage children to practise 

their reading skills and develop a 

love of reading. This programme 

uses dogs who are the pets of the

team and have been trained 

and tested for health, safety

Arsenic and Old Lace 

Tuesday to Monday, 7.30pm 

Ensuring a safe work place 

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-todate 

with replenished items, and 

that everyone knows where it is 

located.
