Report highlights danger at intersection<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

NEW RESEARCH reveals the<br />

controversial Glandovey and<br />

Idris Rds intersection is not<br />

suitable for heavy vehicles.<br />

The Glandovey, Idris and<br />

Straven Residents’ Association<br />

commissioned a tracking<br />

analysis to look into traffic using<br />

the intersection.<br />

The report from traffic<br />

engineering company Traffic<br />

Design Group showed heavy<br />

vehicles could not navigate<br />

any turns of the Fendalton<br />

intersection without cutting into<br />

other lanes.<br />

It comes during a year-long<br />

campaign from residents<br />

to improve safety at the<br />

intersection.<br />

Residents want to see<br />

heavy vehicles banned from<br />

driving through the area and<br />

this report only cements that,<br />

group member and Glandovey<br />

Rd resident Nigel Francis<br />

said.<br />

The report has been sent to the<br />

city council. City councillor Raf<br />

Manji told the Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

that when council resumed after<br />

the Christmas break, it would<br />

look into banning heavy vehicles<br />

from the area.<br />

Mr Francis said the sooner<br />

trucks are banned from the area,<br />

the better.<br />

He said the design of the<br />

intersection means there is no<br />

room for heavy vehicles, cars<br />

and cyclists, which makes it<br />

dangerous.<br />

Elmwood Park Bowling Club duo Bev<br />

Morel (left and below), and Sherrie<br />

Cottle, 57, were crowned national pairs<br />

champions in Dunedin on Sunday.<br />

At the ripe old age of 76 it was Morel’s<br />

third national title, proving age is no barrier<br />

to success. The Elmwood duo defeated<br />

the defending champions, Dale Rayner<br />

and Ashleigh Jeffcoat, 19-6, in the final.<br />

Safety concerns on narrow road<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

IT’S ONLY a matter of time<br />

before someone is killed<br />

on a narrow road between<br />

Northlands Shopping Centre<br />

and Papanui High School.<br />

That’s according to Papanui-<br />

Innes Community<br />

Board<br />

member John<br />

Stringer, who<br />

has been lobbying<br />

for safety<br />

issues on Sissons<br />

Drive to<br />

be addressed<br />

John Stringer for the better<br />

part of the year.<br />

“A local fatality is a high possibility<br />

soon if we do not take<br />

action,” he said.<br />

Mr Stringer said he witnessed<br />

a crash where a vehicle went<br />

through the fence into a<br />

building at Papanui High<br />

School.<br />

“It could have hamburgered<br />

a mum with a pram or a cluster<br />

of Papanui students or cyclists<br />

into the metal railing fence and<br />

concrete wall,” he said.<br />

“There is a very wide pedestrian<br />

and cycleway alongside an<br />

extremely narrow two-lane carriage<br />

way flanked by concrete<br />

slab walls which is becoming a<br />

crash corridor. In a crash, cars<br />

will bounce off into oncoming<br />

traffic or people.”<br />

The community board has<br />

asked city council staff for an<br />

audit of the traffic congestion<br />

and safety of the road as well<br />

as along Sawyers Arms and<br />

Langdons Rds in a bid to find<br />

solutions to the safety concerns.<br />

That report will go back to the<br />

board.<br />

But Mr Stringer said the $18<br />

million expansion to Northlands,<br />

the Langdons Quarter,<br />

will only add to the concerns.<br />

“The loss of car parks could<br />

make the issues worse,” he said.<br />

Motorists targeted near St Albans School<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

PUPIL SAFETY remains in the<br />

spotlight at St Albans School.<br />

A funding grant for an<br />

additional traffic warden and<br />

a two-week police sting were<br />

launched in a bid to address<br />

the ongoing problem of<br />

speed, dangerous driving and<br />

inappropriate parking which<br />

has been compromising<br />

the safety of pupils around<br />

Westminster, Trafalgar and<br />

Cranford Sts.<br />

Police and the city council ran<br />

the ‘education and enforcement<br />

– CHAOS at the school gates’<br />

programme to address the issues.<br />

The programme wrapped up at<br />

the end of last month.<br />

Police and city council<br />

enforcement officers were at<br />

the site during the morning<br />

and afternoon to monitor the<br />

behaviour of motorists for two<br />

weeks.<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />

said it was about changing<br />

the attitudes of motorists<br />

permanently. She said another<br />

operation was planned when<br />

the school reopened to keep the<br />

momentum up.<br />

“I don’t mean it as a pun but<br />

it’s about keeping that foot on<br />

the accelerator,” she said.<br />

However, she said the<br />

operation wasn’t entirely about<br />

being “punitive”.<br />

“It’s about education and<br />

educating people about how to<br />

navigate the area,” Ms Jones said.<br />

It comes as the board approved<br />

an additional $1500 grant to pay<br />

for another traffic warden and<br />

patrol – although the school<br />

initially requested $4500.<br />

The school told the community<br />

board there was still an<br />

“immediate need” for further<br />

traffic wardens and patrol<br />

support.<br />

The school currently pays for<br />

two traffic wardens on Trafalgar<br />

and Cranford Sts using Ministry<br />

of Education funding.<br />

The community board has also<br />

requested that the city council<br />

make school warning signage a<br />

priority in the <strong>2018</strong>/19 financial<br />

year.<br />

The board said the urgency<br />

stemmed from the ongoing<br />

traffic issues.<br />

It wants more signage<br />

installed before the opening of<br />

the Northern Arterial, which is<br />

expected to bring more traffic<br />

through the area.<br />

Danger at<br />

intersection<br />

highlighted<br />

•From page 1<br />

“There’s a lot of heavy traffic<br />

that jams its way down here,<br />

down these narrow streets. It’s<br />

dangerous for us and anyone<br />

using the roads,” Mr Francis<br />

said.<br />

Group spokesman James<br />

Wilding said heavy vehicles are<br />

common in the area since it<br />

was upgraded from lights to a<br />

roundabout three years ago.<br />

The report comes following<br />

the release of city council<br />

safety audits to the group via<br />

the Local Government Official<br />

Information and Meeting Act<br />

in November.<br />

The audit said “death or serious<br />

injury” at the intersection<br />

of Glandovey and Idris Rds is<br />

“likely” once every five to 10<br />

years due to visibility issues between<br />

vehicles and pedestrians.<br />

During the campaign to<br />

address roading concerns, city<br />

council chief executive Karleen<br />

Edwards recommended<br />

residents not be involved in a<br />

workshop to find solutions.<br />

However, the Fendalton-<br />

to beat, across the city to the mountains and sea beyond. The substantial home is configured<br />

to offer great flexibility for all sorts of households, with a semi self-contained area that could<br />

be fantastic for extended family.<br />

The main areas of the home are upstairs where living, dining and kitchen are open plan, all<br />

with aspects of the view. The living room opens through ranch sliders to a wooden deck that<br />

wraps around the house and also connects to the master bedroom. A large kitchen area with<br />

room for casual dining is a few steps up from the living spaces and connects to a private and<br />

sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property.<br />

The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with<br />

the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and<br />

convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area<br />

opens into a double bedroom with adjoining living and kitchen area, which in turn connects<br />

to a large games room. These are all generous spaces with myriad uses. The whole downstairs<br />

area has it’s own large outdoor area where of course the views take centre stage.<br />

There is a double garage with easy drive on access and off street parking. The timeless design<br />

of the house offers the next owners potential to update without breaking the bank. Whatever<br />

the next owner plans it will be the views that capture the heart and spark the imagination.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE<br />

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED<br />

WHOLE CHICKEN<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 whole butterflied chicken<br />

1 to taste salt & freshly ground<br />

pepper<br />

Barbecue sauce<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat grill to medium. Get<br />

surface temperature to about 200<br />

deg C.<br />

Clean and oil well. Clean the<br />

chicken if you desire and pat dry.<br />

Cut the backbone out of the<br />

chicken with sharp kitchen<br />

scissors. You could use a knife,<br />

but the scissors are much safer<br />

and work great.<br />

With a large knife, give the<br />

breastbone a large nick in the<br />

front of the chicken to help the<br />

bird lay flat.<br />

Rinse the inside of the bird out,<br />

trim any loose fat and extra skin.<br />

Pat dry again. Give the bird a<br />

good sprinkle of salt and pepper.<br />

You could use any seasoning you<br />

want here.<br />

Place skin down on the<br />

grill. Flip after you get a nice<br />

browning on the skin after about<br />

12-15min.<br />

Give the chicken a good<br />

brushing of barbecue sauce.<br />

Grill another 3-4min until<br />

the sauce is browning well.<br />

Total grilling on the second side<br />

should take 20-25min.<br />

Let set for 5min then cut and<br />

serve.<br />

STEAK AND MUSHROOM<br />

PIE<br />

Ingredients<br />

4 large portobello mushrooms,<br />

sliced<br />

800g tri-tip<br />

steak, cut<br />

into 2cm<br />

pieces<br />

20g butter<br />

2 Tbsp oil<br />

1 onion, chopped<br />

2 cloves garlic,<br />

crushed<br />

1 serving flour, seasoned, for<br />

dusting<br />

2 cups beef stock<br />

½ tsp mixed herbs<br />

½ cup red wine<br />

1 Tbsp flour, mixed with 1 Tbsp<br />

melted butter for the thickening<br />

1 sheet short pastry (savoury)<br />

1 sheet puff pastry<br />

1 egg, for glazing<br />

Directions<br />

Heat oven to 180 deg C. Heat<br />

half the butter and oil in a medium<br />

sized pot. Fry the onions and<br />

garlic for 5min until softened.<br />

Dust the meat generously with<br />

flour and shake off the excess.<br />

Heat the remaining butter and<br />

oil in a frying pan. Brown the<br />

meat in batches then add to the<br />

onions. Add a little of the stock<br />

to the pan to deglaze then pour<br />

into the pot.<br />

Add the remaining stock to<br />

the meat along with the herbs,<br />

red wine and mushrooms.<br />

Cook on a low heat<br />

for 1 hour or until<br />

the meat is tender.<br />

Remove ¼ cup<br />

of the liquid<br />

and add to<br />

the thickening,<br />

combine<br />

then tip back into the<br />

pot and stir to thicken. Check the<br />

seasoning (add salt and pepper<br />

if you wish). Cool the mixture to<br />

room temperature.<br />

Line a 23cm pie tin with the<br />

short pastry and trim the edges.<br />

Line with baking paper and rice<br />

and bake blind for 15-20min<br />

until just cooked. Remove the<br />

paper. Fill the pastry with the<br />

meat mixture. Dampen the edges,<br />

and top with the puff pastry,<br />

pressing gently to seal. Use any<br />

extra pastry for decoration. Make<br />

a few slits in the top with a knife<br />

to release steam during baking.<br />

Brush the top with egg. Place<br />

into the oven for 35-40min until<br />

the pastry is risen and golden.<br />

Remove and serve hot.<br />

1 in 2 people<br />

deficient in B12<br />

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />

Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />

Center found those most deficient<br />

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />

brain mass & the lowest scores on<br />

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 higher<br />

on cognitive tests than those with lower<br />

levels. Yet another recent landmark study<br />

showed that B12 supplementation slows<br />

the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage<br />

& declining cognitive function. B12 is<br />

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 can also<br />

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />

researchers found a<br />

34% decrease risk<br />

of vision loss in a<br />

study of participants<br />

aged 40+ who<br />

supplemented with<br />

B12. Another study<br />

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 in<br />

the body.<br />

available from the Natural Health<br />

Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil<br />

as it can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration<br />

cells & this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help<br />

reduce lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses<br />

anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties.<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 />

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />

Skin Rejuvenator<br />

Until Rachel<br />

Hunter’s popular<br />

TV series “TOUR<br />

OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />

Oil was relatively<br />

unknown, being one<br />

of the best-kept secrets<br />

of the Pacific Islands. It<br />

may however be the number<br />

one natural beauty oil available<br />

as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />

regeneration and healing properties.<br />

According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)<br />

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />

it is one of the most effective agents<br />

in promoting the regeneration and<br />

formation of new tissue, thereby<br />

accelerating wound healing and<br />

the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />

Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />

penetrate all three layers of the<br />

skin, offering exceptional cell<br />

hydration and regeneration.<br />

As well as this, Dilo Oil has<br />

potent anti-inflammatory,<br />

antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />

antioxidant properties.<br />

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />

skin young and youthful and for just about<br />

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />

for which it is considered helpful include<br />

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and<br />

acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch<br />

marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including<br />

chemical and radiation), diabetic sores,<br />

rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,<br />

121 Skyhawk Road<br />

eczema, psoriasis,<br />

dermatitis, herpes<br />

sores (cold-sores),<br />

insect bites and<br />

stings, rheumatism,<br />

pain, sciatica,<br />

shingles, sunburn,<br />

rosacea, athlete’s foot, skin<br />

eruptions, warts, skin ulcers<br />

and sores, nappy rash and almost<br />

any other skin ailment and often with<br />

incredible results.<br />

Many beauty and skincare products<br />

on the market today contain unnatural<br />

ingredients that can be toxic and may<br />

even contribute to disease. Generally<br />

the benefits are exaggerated<br />

and often only temporary or<br />

camouflage. Marshall’s Dilo Oil is<br />

100% pure and certified organic.<br />

It has been cold-pressed from the<br />

Dilo nut and contains absolutely<br />

no additives. Polynesians and<br />

Southeast Asians have revered<br />

Dilo Oil for centuries believing it<br />

to be a sacred gift of nature and<br />

the Gods. Dilo oil stimulates<br />

and supports the skins natural<br />

healing process through the growth of new<br />

healthy skin tissue. I personally believe<br />

it is a remarkable product and highly<br />

recommend it to everyone. A 50ml bottle is<br />

$19.90 and 100ml only $29.90.<br />

ARE YOU READY<br />

TO DOWNSIZE?<br />

Paying rates for a house that’s<br />

too big? Paying maintenance and<br />

heating costs for space you don’t use?<br />

A move to one of our<br />

architecturally designed villas<br />

at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in<br />

Geraldine will cut those costs.<br />

Three villas are available for<br />

occupation now, priced from<br />

$355,000.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

Panoramic views, sun and privacy<br />

5 Garden Hill Lane, Redcliffs<br />

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: FM5290<br />

This sensational property has that instant<br />

‘fall in love” effect...<br />

I’m not sure if it is the beautiful expansive<br />

water view, the private position or simply the<br />

home? Most likely it’s a combination of all that<br />

makes this a very special property.<br />

Modern, stylish and spacious, this home is<br />

soaked in sun, enjoys fabulous views.<br />

The home has been quality built, with<br />

an architectural appeal that will ideally suit<br />

families and professional couples who are<br />

seeking something a little different and a lot<br />

special.<br />

The property is tucked away, yet offers easy<br />

access, good off street parking and internal<br />

garaging. The home itself boasts a versatile<br />

floor plan, to cater for growing families or<br />

those who chose to work from home, or<br />

simply love to entertain.<br />

Generous open plan kitchen and dining<br />

plus a separate lounge with a floor to ceiling<br />

picture window invites the view inside<br />

dominates the first level and open to a deck<br />

that provides the ideal spot to soak in the view<br />

and relax with a wine or good book after a<br />

busy day. Also on this level is the master suite,<br />

complete with ensuite and walk in robe.<br />

Head downstairs and you will find a further<br />

three bedrooms, all with great storage and the<br />

main bathroom.<br />

This property is one that must be viewed to<br />

appreciate, come and see for yourself.<br />

I recommend astute buyers enquire for<br />

further information or for a private viewing<br />

SONGWRITERS RETREAT NZ<br />

A NEW ZEALAND FIRST<br />

SINGER-songwriter Charlotte Yates prepares to deliver New<br />

Zealand's first songwriting retreat in Hanmer Springs,<br />

Waitangi Weekend, Feb 2-6, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

A professional songwriter for over 25 years, Charlotte also<br />

coaches songwriting students individually through her<br />

service, Song Doctor. Charlotte has designed and presented<br />

small group based songwriting programmes for workshops<br />

and following her own study through the Berklee College of<br />

Music recently, more intensive clinics.<br />

e Songwriters Retreat NZ has developed out of several<br />

shorter successful Songwriting Clinics held throughout the<br />

South Island over the last two years.<br />

Held over five days, the inaugural Songwriters Retreat NZ<br />

is an opportunity for songwriters to create and present new<br />

work in a clear, well designed practical programme,<br />

including one on one coaching, tutor and peer feedback and<br />

co-writing sessions.<br />

Songwriters Retreat NZ offers tried and tested methods<br />

for stimulating inspiration and turning it into real songs<br />

people want to hear. A maximum of12 places are available<br />

– enough to allow supportive musical connection, but also<br />

enough time for individual mentoring.<br />

Go from thinking about songwriting to doing it. Go from<br />

wanting to be a songwriter to being one.<br />
