Trees given a reprieve by court<br />

Work on<br />

Northern<br />

Corridor<br />

delayed<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

NORTHERN Corridor work is<br />

on hold after a court order was<br />

taped to trees on Cranford St.<br />

Last Monday, Small World<br />

Preschool and Nursery owners<br />

Keith and Sue Wayman attached<br />

the Environment Court ruling<br />

from Fletcher Building Ltd<br />

against the city council to two<br />

trees that were about to be cut<br />

down.<br />

They also taped on a sign that<br />

read: “This tree is protected by a<br />

court order.”<br />

“We laminated the court order<br />

to the trees and the workers<br />

took off like scolded cats,” Mr<br />

Wayman said.<br />

He said the trees, which were<br />

supposed to be removed as part<br />

of the Northern Corridor upgrade,<br />

were still there yesterday.<br />

Treetech was contracted to<br />

remove the trees by the city<br />

council. It would not comment<br />

on the matter.<br />

Mr Wayman said it was not<br />

Treetech’s fault as it was only doing<br />

the work of the city council<br />

and the New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency, which he would lodge<br />

formal complaints to.<br />

He said the work was in breach<br />

of the order from last <strong>December</strong>,<br />

which includes judge-approved<br />

designs for the stretch of road<br />

along Cranford St between Mc-<br />

Faddens Rd and the rural zone.<br />

In October Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

reported businesses including<br />

the nursery, The Cranford Ale<br />

House and PlaceMakers are<br />

unhappy the city council has<br />

proposed Northern Corridor<br />

designs that do not match that<br />

ruling.<br />

“I think we’ve caused enough<br />

fuss for them to take us seriously,”<br />

he said.<br />

The design includes cycle lanes<br />

that take away all on-street parking,<br />

which Mr Wayman said<br />

would put them out of business.<br />

“The judge made the designs<br />

very clear . . . and we’re not asking<br />

ORDER: This<br />

Environment<br />

Court ruling<br />

put Northern<br />

Corridor work<br />

on hold when<br />

it was taped<br />

for any more than what the judge<br />

The city council is expected to<br />

release its final designs for the<br />

Northern Corridor this week.<br />

CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right on<br />

the radar but there’s another big event<br />

looming too – the City2Surf.<br />

Yep, it’s only a handful of months away<br />

(see page 4) so it’s time to start lacing up<br />

those running shoes and pounding the pavement or local park<br />

to get in some sort of shape.<br />

The great thing about the City2Surf – and this hasn’t<br />

changed over the decades – is that anyone regardless of shape<br />

or fitness level can take part.<br />

A face that will appear on the marketing of City2Surf this<br />

year is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian pastor.<br />

And remember it’s a family event – children 10 and under<br />

are free to participate.<br />

Native bush plan mooted<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

MORE THAN 150 years<br />

after its last tree was chopped<br />

down, Papanui Bush may be<br />

reinstated.<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board is looking to regenerate<br />

the forest that took up 36ha<br />

between what is now Papanui<br />

High School<br />

and Vagues Rd<br />

in 1850.<br />

The modern<br />

native forest<br />

plan is<br />

proposed for<br />

Bridgestone<br />

Reserve on<br />

Mike Davidson<br />

Langdons Rd.<br />

It would make<br />

it only the second in the city<br />

alongside Riccarton Bush.<br />

City councillor Mike Davidson<br />

said he is pushing for the<br />

project to create a native bush<br />

in his ward that the community<br />

can be proud of.<br />

“If we can reclaim a bit of history<br />

in Papanui, that would be a<br />

really good thing . . . but it’s got<br />

to be done properly,” he said.<br />

It will be a huge recreational<br />

attraction for the community,<br />

which would be involved in the<br />

planting of the bush, as well as<br />

providing habitats for native<br />

bird and encourage growth in<br />

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

ago is being investigated.<br />

population, Cr Davidson<br />

said.<br />

It was one most significant<br />

landmarks the settlers saw as<br />

they walked over the Port Hills<br />

to establish Christchurch but the<br />

land was divided in a ballot and<br />

the trees were felled.<br />

According to a paper by the<br />

Papanui Heritage Group the<br />

bush was made of totara, rimu,<br />

kahikatea and matai. The last<br />

totara tree was cut down in 1861,<br />

years after the rest of the bush<br />

was gone.<br />

Bridgestone Reserve is a bit<br />

smaller than Cr Davidson was<br />

hoping for. But he said he could<br />

work with it.<br />

A city council feasibility report<br />

will come back from staff later in<br />

the week so the board can work<br />

on submitting a proposal for the<br />

Long Term Plan.<br />

Cr Davidson said it would<br />

only need a start up capital of<br />

about $10,000. “I’m hoping to<br />

find some money in this year’s<br />

budget for it,” he said.<br />

A project like this would take<br />

a lot of time for the trees to develop,<br />

so he wants to get it under<br />

way as soon as possible.<br />

TREE REMOVAL<br />

Fifty-five eucalyptus and pine<br />

trees will be removed from<br />

Belfast’s Styx Mill Conservation<br />

Reserve to enable planting of<br />

native trees. Following the<br />

removal of the trees, the area will<br />

be replanted with1200 native<br />

trees and shrubs including 60<br />

totara and matai. A number of the<br />

existing pine trees will be retained<br />

to provide habitats for cavitynesting<br />

native birds.<br />

FLORAL THEFTS<br />

The Friends of Abberley Park<br />

group has taken to posting<br />

pictures of the plants whose<br />

flowers have been cut and<br />

removed from the park on its<br />

Facebook page to shame the<br />

“vandals” that do it. The most<br />

recent incident saw a peony rose<br />

bush lose more than 35 flowers<br />

and another lose 12. “Shame<br />

on these thieving vandals,” the<br />

Facebook post said.<br />

SAFETY IMPROVED<br />

A $76,000 pedestrian island is<br />

being put in near Cotswold School<br />

on Gardiners Rd and Fairford St<br />

to increase safety after calls from<br />

the community. The location<br />

will provide a safe crossing point<br />

for all pedestrians, although a<br />

city council pedestrian survey<br />

found the majority of pedestrians<br />

crossing were Cotswold pupils.<br />

Who knew it would be so<br />

wonderful<br />

tohear<br />

my grandkids<br />

Wishing you a happy<br />

support, I look forward to<br />

Getting into the spirit of<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

JESEL ROYOKADA embodies<br />

everything that is the Star Media<br />

City2Surf.<br />

Last year he was photographed<br />

leaping into the air after crossing<br />

the line capturing the spirit of the<br />

event.<br />

Now, the Christchurch Fijian<br />

Seventh-Day Adventist Church<br />

pastor has asked his congregation<br />

of about 80 to get involved in the<br />

event as a way to connect with<br />

other cultures.<br />

“We come from the islands and<br />

sometimes we do things in our<br />

own island groups but it is good<br />

to get involved with the rest of<br />

the community,” he said.<br />

The 31-year-old encouraged<br />

about 25 of his parishioners to<br />

get involved in the event last year<br />

“It was the first time our<br />

church has got involved with<br />

something like this,” he said.<br />

He said they were told<br />

about the event by Healthy<br />

Families Christchurch, part<br />

of a nationwide Government<br />

initiative ​aimed at helping New<br />

Zealanders live healthy, active<br />

lives.<br />

“I would like to see all 80 of<br />

them out there, and their friends<br />

and families. We can even have<br />

kids in prams at the event,” he<br />

said.<br />

He said they will start to train<br />

soon for the event, which will be<br />

held on March 18.<br />

The event is split into two<br />

sections – 6km and 14km.<br />

The Star Media City2Surf with<br />

Les Mills 14km event starts in<br />

Centennial Park, Spreydon, at<br />

9am.<br />

The Sport Canterbury 6km<br />

event starts at 10am in Hansen<br />

Park, Opawa.<br />

Both finish at the Ferrymead<br />

playing fields. There will be<br />

after-event entertainment<br />

with live music, food and free<br />

children’s entertainment in the<br />

finish area.<br />

Public in roading discussions<br />

City council staff and<br />

roading issues in the area.<br />

THe meeting came after<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> revealed city<br />

Edwards recommended traffic<br />

and road layout issues be dealt<br />

with behind closed doors<br />

THe issues are being dealt with<br />

by city councillors Raf Manji<br />

transport staff.<br />

Mr Wilding said the group<br />

will still push to create a formal<br />

Call to<br />

investigate<br />

cycling initiative<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

CONCERNS HAVE been<br />

raised over publicity of a cycling<br />

initiative at Jellie Park Sports and<br />

Recreation Centre.<br />

Staff at the centre not knowing<br />

about the initiative at all, and a<br />

lack of advertising, has prompted<br />

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board to<br />

ask city council staff investigate<br />

urgently.<br />

The campaign to get less people<br />

driving to Jellie Park in a bid<br />

to clear the congested car park<br />

means if you cycle five times, you<br />

receive free pool entry and a bottle<br />

of water.<br />

The initiative was first run in<br />

February with only a “small to<br />

moderate uptake,” city council<br />

western area operations manager<br />

Martin McGregor said.<br />

It was recommended the<br />

programme be dropped. But a<br />

second campagin, running from<br />

now through summer, was called<br />

for by the board as it said a longer<br />

trial was necessary for a greater<br />

uptake. As well as being in warmer<br />

months when more people are<br />

likely to cycle.<br />

It was previously suggested that<br />

the scheme would be rolled out<br />

across all city council sport and<br />

recreation centres.<br />

Chance to<br />

reconnect with<br />

school before<br />

demolition<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

FORMER BISHOPDALE School<br />

pupils have been invited to visit<br />

one last time.<br />

The school’s 60-year-old buildings<br />

are being demolished during<br />

the school holidays as work begins<br />

on the $4.38 million rebuild.<br />

Principal Sue Fisher said anyone<br />

who wants to go back, take photos<br />

and visit the classrooms is more<br />

than welcome.<br />

“People from Bishopdale seem<br />

to live in this area forever,” she<br />

said.<br />

She said there is a huge community<br />

connection in the suburb,<br />

especially as its going through a<br />

regeneration with the new library<br />

and redevelopment of the mall.<br />

Demolishing the first block will<br />

begin in January, with the new<br />

building beginning construction<br />

in March and the rebuild expected<br />

to finish late next year.<br />

“They [the Ministry of Education]<br />

RIDING ITS recent wave of<br />

success, the film A Perfect Child<br />

has brought home two more<br />

awards for its St Margaret’s and<br />

Christ’s College producers.<br />

The 18min short film, written<br />

and produced by St Margaret’s<br />

and Christ’s College students<br />

Nina Hogg and Simon Brown<br />

won Best New Zealand Film<br />

and Best Secondary School Film<br />

awards at the Uni Shorts Film<br />

Festival at the end of November.<br />

This year’s line-up saw 36<br />

finalists from New Zealand, the<br />

United States, Israel, Australia,<br />

Switzerland, Germany, Spain<br />

and the Netherlands across six<br />

categories with the winners<br />

being named at the opening<br />

night of the festival at Unitec in<br />

Auckland.<br />

The judging panel included<br />

award-winning filmmaker Alyx<br />

Duncan, renowned actress,<br />

writer and director Aidee Walker<br />

and internationally acclaimed<br />

animator Katie Naeher.<br />

They praised the film for its<br />

strong premise and depth of<br />

talent.<br />

The festival is a platform for<br />

for emerging student filmmakers<br />

and screening of selected new<br />

student film work – the biggest<br />

film festival of its type in Australasia.<br />

A Perfect Child is the work of<br />

around 60 students from the two<br />

schools and tells the story of Ava,<br />

a young girl in an orphanage<br />

who comes to realise that fellow<br />

orphans are being cloned to create<br />

perfect children.<br />

The film took a year to make<br />

with students involved in every<br />

aspect of production, including<br />

writing, directing, casting,<br />

costuming and post-production,<br />

even an original film score composed<br />

by year 13 student Jeremy<br />

Lidstone.<br />

School zone not likely to expand<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

CHILDREN LIVING less than<br />

2km from Redwood primary<br />

are not guaranteed entry to the<br />

school.<br />

And the Ministry of Education<br />

has vetoed a call from the school<br />

to change that.<br />

Principal John<br />

Stackhouse said<br />

in the process of<br />

the Prestons Rd<br />

school’s $4.9 million<br />

rebuild, the<br />

ministry rejected<br />

Katrina<br />

Casey<br />

a request for an<br />

expansion to the<br />

enrolment zone.<br />

It also wants the<br />

roll to be cut by about 40 pupils.<br />

Without an increase to the<br />

tight admission zone, Mr Stackhouse<br />

said children who live less<br />

than a 90sec car ride away from<br />

the school are not guaranteed a<br />

place.<br />

They have to go through the<br />

ballot system, which does not<br />

take proximity to the school into<br />

consideration.<br />

“We actually have the smallest<br />

zone in the city,” he said, which<br />

is encased in a few blocks around<br />

Daniels Rd, Main North Rd, Prestons<br />

Rd and Willowview Drive.<br />

Said board of trustees chairwoman<br />

Ana Connor: “It doesn’t<br />

feel right to turn local children<br />

away.”<br />

Mrs Connor said the school<br />

has had several meetings with<br />

the ministry and informal meetings<br />

with other schools in the<br />

area.<br />

Ministry of Education deputy<br />

secretary sector enablement and<br />

support Katrina Casey said it appreciates<br />

the challenge Redwood<br />

is facing but there is a challenge<br />

catering to roll growth and decline<br />

across the city.<br />

“Any expansion of the Redwood<br />

zone to the west or south<br />

will result in the school being<br />

less able to cater for projected<br />

growth in the Redwood School<br />

catchment. This would impact<br />

negatively on neighbouring<br />

schools,” Ms Casey said.<br />

But she said the ministry<br />

is happy to meet the board of<br />

trustees again and discuss the<br />

issues.<br />

Mr Stackhouse said the school<br />

and board would keep trying to<br />

change the ministry’s mind.<br />

The complications have been<br />

caused by the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake, he said.<br />

“After the quakes, we had a<br />

FRUSTRATION:<br />

The Redwood<br />

School zone<br />

will not be<br />

increased.<br />

drop in roll as people moved<br />

away or were forced out of their<br />

homes.”<br />

But Mr Stackhouse said families<br />

have been coming back into<br />

the area and with it, an increase<br />

in pupils.<br />

The rebuild of the school is<br />

currently in the early planning<br />

stage, with work expected to<br />

begin at the end of next year and<br />

finished in 2019.<br />

“The initial plans have gone<br />

back to the ministry to have<br />

initial costing, then detailed<br />

planning will commence term 1<br />

next year,” he said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Mayor defends<br />

funding cuts<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has<br />

defended the decision to slash<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board’s funding.<br />

Ms Dalziel wrote a letter to<br />

the community board, which<br />

explained the city council’s decision<br />

to cut the board’s funding<br />

from $402,860 for the <strong>2017</strong>/18 by<br />

about $85,000.<br />

Ms Dalziel said the process<br />

which the city council used to<br />

allocate the funding was an improvement<br />

on the previous process,<br />

which had “a lack of clear<br />

rationale” and was “ad hoc.”<br />

“While this process worked<br />

well for some boards, others<br />

received disproportionately less<br />

funding,” the letter said.<br />

Ms Dalziel said the new process<br />

is based on measurable data,<br />

is transparent and less costly to<br />

administer. It uses population<br />

data as well as the social deprivation<br />

index.<br />

But she said although the<br />

social deprivation index has its<br />

“limitations” it is still the best<br />

tool available.<br />

Ms Dalziel wrote that<br />

she encouraged the board’s<br />

working together across the<br />

board boundaries to support<br />

organisations.<br />

Important theme in school production<br />

SAVING THE world’s<br />

endangered animals was the<br />

theme of the annual St Margaret’s<br />

College junior school production.<br />

Written by the school’s<br />

performing art’s department,<br />

Museum Alive involved all pupils<br />

from years 1-6.<br />

The production was set in the<br />

year 2067 where a group of children<br />

take a trip to the museum<br />

and get sent back to <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

They meet some endangered<br />

animals who, through song and<br />

dance, say what is threatening<br />

their survival. The children are<br />

motivated to want to try and<br />

change the course of history and<br />

save the animals from extinction.<br />

The concert in the Centennial<br />

But the school’s jazz big band<br />

only has a few girls in it, so it is<br />

encouraging more girls to learn<br />

those instruments and develop a<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Photographers captured the heart of the<br />

Bishopdale community in the village mall during the<br />

Christchurch Documentary Project.<br />

Bishopdale in focus<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

BISHOPDALE was in front of<br />

the camera lens as its community<br />

was captured in a photography<br />

documentary.<br />

A year-long photography<br />

project by Canterbury University<br />

fine arts students finding the<br />

essence of the suburb is open to<br />

the public at Bishopdale Library.<br />

The Christchurch<br />

Documentary Project cast its<br />

eyes on Halswell in 2015, then<br />

the city’s east last year.<br />

But from April to August,<br />

Bishopdale was the subject of<br />

students Thomas Herman, Liam<br />

Lyons, Elise Williams, Janneth<br />

Gil and Lucas Perelini’s cameras.<br />

From the iconic elephant slide<br />

at Bishopdale Park to long-term<br />

tenants at the mall, Ms Gil said it<br />

was a fantastic opportunity to dig<br />

deep into the community that<br />

often flies under the radar.<br />

“I met many amazing people<br />

but I always will remember<br />

The Burnside Scottish Country Dance Club, which meets on<br />

Farrington Ave.<br />

Raymond and Colleen Holland.<br />

They are such a sweet couple and<br />

they have been living in the area<br />

for more than 30 years,” she<br />

said.<br />

Ms Gil said the pair had many<br />

amazing stories to tell about their<br />

community.<br />

​The aim of the documentary<br />

project is to create a photo<br />

archive of the city post-natural<br />

disaster for future generations<br />

to see, focusing on different<br />

suburbs.<br />

City council project<br />

manager Sam Ludemann said<br />

Bishopdale was chosen as there<br />

is a significant change and<br />

rejuvenation happening in its<br />

community at the moment.<br />

That includes the opening<br />

of the new library and mall<br />

upgrades, he said.<br />

“There’s going to be something<br />

of real value – an exhibition<br />

but also a body of work that<br />

represents the people in the<br />

community.”<br />

squads at the South Island<br />

junior secondary schools<br />

championships.<br />

Competing in Christchurch<br />

over three days at both Jellie<br />

Park Recreation and Sports<br />

Centre and Rangi Ruru Girls’,<br />

the St Bede’s year 9/10 side<br />

won the division one boys title<br />

while St Margaret’s year 9/10<br />

team won the division one<br />

girls crown.<br />

Christ’s College and St Andrew’s<br />

placed second and third<br />

in the boys and Marlborough<br />

Girls’ and Dunedin’s Columbia<br />

College placed second and<br />

third in the girls.<br />

St Bede’s Patrick O’Neill was<br />

named boys most valuable<br />

player for the tournament.<br />

Coach Cooper Stewart said<br />

the team gelled really well especially<br />

off the back of Patrick<br />

and his brother Sam.<br />

“They both are something<br />

else. They really stood out in<br />

the tournament,” he said.<br />

The O’Neill boys are identical<br />

twins, which proves difficult<br />

for Stewart to tell them<br />

apart.<br />

“They switch shoes<br />

sometime just to mess with<br />

us. They are very identical,” he<br />

laughed.<br />

St Margaret’s Violette Perry<br />

was named girls MVP.<br />

Director of sport Helen<br />

Belcher said the team of young<br />

girls will take a lot of confidence<br />

away from the tournament<br />

win.<br />

“There were also some solid<br />

performances by the senior<br />

members and together as<br />

PAPANUI HIGH student<br />

Owen Dabkowski has been<br />

selected to play for the<br />

Super City Spartans in the<br />

The 13-year-old has been<br />

playing baseball since he was<br />

five and currently plays for<br />

Southern Astros club based<br />

in Avonhead Park.<br />

He said he was looking<br />

forward to competing<br />

overseas.<br />

“I am looking forward to<br />

meeting new people and being<br />

able to compete at a high<br />

level for New Zealand,” he<br />

said.<br />

He said it would be great<br />

to get more students into the<br />

sport.<br />

“It is not popular at all [at<br />

Papanui High]. I think that<br />

I am the only one that plays.<br />

I’d like to introduce it to<br />

more students though,” he<br />

said.<br />

Ultimately, he would like<br />

to get a scholarship to play in<br />

the United States.<br />

Owen has been busy<br />

fundraising towards the cost<br />

of the trip through running<br />

sausage sizzles, quiz nights,<br />

a St Albans market day sale<br />

and car washing.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

New hope for patients<br />

suffering from MS,<br />

strokes or spinal injuries<br />

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental<br />

health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment<br />

that brings fast, and often immediate results.<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Special offer for DeceMBer - if you<br />

have suffered a stroke, spinal injury or<br />

have MS, then this article is for you.<br />

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan<br />

established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch<br />

in 1993. As she continued her research and medical<br />

practice, she discovered a reflexology network on<br />

the human body, an exciting new discovery that<br />

became the foundation of her new treatment –<br />

acupuncture without needles.<br />

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument<br />

to stimulate the reflexology points on the face<br />

or other parts of the body. When the point is<br />

stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the<br />

repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan<br />

explains, the treatment increases energy, which<br />

boosts the body’s healing system.<br />

The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but<br />

that is a slow process. In addition, many people will<br />

start to use their injured part, for example a knee<br />

or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore<br />

prolonging the injury and even causing chronic<br />

pain.<br />

With her powerful treatment, results are produced<br />

very quickly – even instantly.<br />

She likens it to the differences between the<br />

power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane<br />

– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –<br />

reflexology network.<br />

It brings fast results because it is a very precise<br />

treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people<br />

of all ages with many different types of pain in all<br />

parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS,<br />

and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects.<br />

Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing<br />

low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s<br />

treatment.<br />

Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant<br />

improvement for muscle weakness and numbness<br />

caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke<br />

and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan<br />

reflexology to see lots of instant results videos.<br />

Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology<br />

Network, which introduces the treatment and<br />

explains how it works. Her website, www.<br />

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment<br />

videos, where people who have had the treatment<br />

speak about the fast relief it has brought them.<br />

Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10<br />

patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury<br />

half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168,<br />

1 Tbsp soy sauce, thick (or<br />

oyster sauce)<br />

Directions<br />

Make a strong pot of tea using<br />

a “smokey” flavoured variety.<br />

To each two cup measure<br />

of tea, add two tablespoons of<br />

honey, the juice of an orange<br />

and a tablespoon of thick soy or<br />

oyster sauce. Blend together.<br />

Add a cup of water. Layer your<br />

drumsticks in a baking tray and<br />

pour the mix over them.<br />

Place into medium oven and<br />

cook for 20-30min, basting<br />

occasionally. The liquid should<br />

reduce to a sticky glaze.<br />

Cooking tip: If the chicken<br />

cooks before the glaze forms,<br />

remove the drumsticks and keep<br />

warm.<br />

Put the marinade in a pot and<br />

reduce it down until syrupy.<br />

Toss the chicken through the<br />

syrup and serve.<br />

1 in 2 people<br />

deficient in B12<br />

Emerging research has shown as<br />

many as 50% of older adults & as many<br />

as 25% of younger adults are deficient<br />

in vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush<br />

University Medical Center found those<br />

most deficient in vitamin B12 to have the<br />

smallest brain mass & the lowest scores<br />

on tests measuring short-term memory,<br />

concentration & brain performance.<br />

Another study showed that older people<br />

with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />

have bigger, healthier brains & score<br />

higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />

study showed that B12 supplementation<br />

slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />

shrinkage & declining cognitive function.<br />

B12 is essential for energy production, cell<br />

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles,<br />

nerve health & repair, & prevention of<br />

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />

risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />

& plaque in the blood vessels. It<br />

can also increase<br />

the chances of a<br />

stroke. Harvard<br />

researchers found<br />

a 34% decrease risk<br />

of vision loss in a<br />

study of participants<br />

aged 40+ who supplemented with B12.<br />

Another study linked a higher risk of<br />

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who<br />

were low in B12.<br />

The reason so many people lack B12<br />

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />

it declining with age as the digestive<br />

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />

medication & other drugs further reduce<br />

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth &<br />

thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels<br />

in the body.<br />

available from the Natural Health<br />

DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS<br />

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

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />

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

Effective natural skincare<br />

that is ideal for problem skin<br />

MooGoo produce a full range of safe,<br />

natural skin & scalp products that are<br />

especially suited for those with problem<br />

skin. In these products they only use top<br />

quality edible ingredients that are known<br />

to be highly effective & good for our skin.<br />

These active ingredients are only used in<br />

correct concentrations for effective results<br />

& not just added to look good on the<br />

label. Because the MooGoo range is so<br />

safe & yet so effective is probably why it<br />

was rated the number one most preferred<br />

brand of non-prescription (non-steroid)<br />

creams for those suffering from problem<br />

skin in Australia. It is also recommended<br />

by many medical practitioners in<br />

Australia.<br />

As MooGoo products are safe & natural<br />

they are ideal for long term use from<br />

babies to adults. They are an effective<br />

alternative or follow-up treatment to<br />

chemically-based ointments.<br />

Although MooGoo products are<br />

commonly used by people with skin<br />

complaints like Eczema, Psoriasis &<br />

Dermatitis etc. the range of products is<br />

becoming increasingly popular for healthy<br />

skin care. The Skin Milk Udder Cream<br />

is the lightest of creams that can easily<br />

penetrate the skin with its beneficial<br />

ingredients especially the milk protein<br />

which has been shown to increase skin<br />

elasticity & health. It is non-greasy &<br />

contains no mineral oil or other nasties.<br />

The comprehensive MooGoo range<br />

includes the popular Milk Shampoo &<br />

Conditioner, Milk Wash, Cleansing Bars,<br />

Fresh Cream Deodorant, Body Spray,<br />

Edible Lip Balms, Baby range & much<br />

more.<br />

RED CROSS<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />

on to the sports field?<br />

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />

Arsenic and Old Lace<br />

Tuesday to Monday, 7.30pm<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />

behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

if you are not sure on the<br />

course best suited to your<br />

needs, ask your accredited first<br />

aid training provider. They can<br />

explain the course content and<br />

give you options that will best<br />

suit your needs. Look beyond<br />

the workplace and consider<br />

your family and your location.<br />

Check that you have a good<br />

quality first aid kit that is up-todate<br />

with replenished items, and<br />

that everyone knows where it is<br />

located.<br />
