DETERIORATING: The city council wants to spend $4 million raising stopbanks and replacing sandbags along the Avon River to help prevent flooding.

$4m flood mitigation project planned
Temporary stopbanks need raising and sandbags replaced
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
The height of temporary
stopbanks along the Avon River
from South New Brighton to
Kerrs Reach could be raised and
sandbags replaced under a $4
million project.
A report will go to a city
council committee on Thursday,
recommending “urgent” sandbag
replacements and higher
stopbank levels, in a bid to
reduce instances of flooding.
The temporary stopbanks were
constructed under emergency
legislation following the February
2011 earthquake to mitigate
tidal flooding.
Because the stopbanks
were only designed to have
a “life of five years” and not
designed to withstand high
magnitude earthquakes, the
report said urgent solution was
required.
The Valentine’s Day
earthquake exacerbated the
problem with
five locations
along the Avon
River affected
with increased
seepage, and
cracking.
If approved
construction begins in July.
The news comes after Pegasus
Post reported in February
that Southshore Residents’
Association and the South
Brighton Residents’ Association
INSIDE: • Fifty years of plumbing, p6 • Views on fireworks moving elsewhere, p7
were concerned about the
deteriorated state of the
temporary stopbanks.
City council staff have
recommended that $4 million
be spent on the detailed design
and construction of raising the
stopbanks between 40cm and
50cm and replacing sandbags.
But South Brighton Residents’
Association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson (left) who has
lobbied for a solution, said the
city council’s solution does not
go far enough.
“That budget ($4 million)
is concerning. When they are
fixing the surface, they are
missing the problems which
are in the ground. This is just
cosmetic fixing, it’s like a
makeover for a person with a
black eye. The problem is still
there,” he said.
“They just want to get the
extra 20 years to push it away.
They just want to get us off their
back,” he said.

Land sale will break ‘agreement’
Campaigner
has proof that
QEII land
cannot be sold
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Community campaigner Garry
House has his sights set on
proving the partial sale of
QEII will break a 53-year-old
agreement.
Mr House says he has a document
which will prove that the
city council cannot
sell land for Shirley
Boys’ and Avonside
Girls’ development.
It relates to
what he says is an
agreement between Garry House
the city council and
the former owners of the land –
the now defunct New Brighton
Trotting Club.
Mr House said more than 50
years ago the land was sold to the
city council at a cut price on the
condition that the land was only
ever used for recreation and sport.
“It is stated quite clearly that
the council would use it for sport
and recreation only. They would
maintain it under this environment
in perpetuity,” he said.
But the city council says there
is “no evidence” of any such
agreement.
“We have done extensive
research into this and there is no
evidence or documentation to
support the claims . . .” said a
city council spokeswoman.
However, Mr House said he
will fight to ensure the city council
honours the agreeement.
Mr House is the chairman of
Standards New Zealand and
works as an engineering consultant.
He successfully lobbied to
stop the city council installing
pressure wastewater systems
septic tanks on residents’ properties
in Parklands and North New
Brighton.
Mr House is also the secretary
of the New Brighton Returned
Services Association.
When he tabled the document
he found last year while in Wellington,
searching land records
at the Land Information New
Zealand at the hearing on the
QEII land sale last week.
He said it was met with
“shock” and silence.
City councillors Yani Johanson,
Glenn Livingstone and
David East are on the panel.
After listening to Mr House’s
submission, Cr Johanson requested
that city council staff
investigate the matter further.
Cr Johanson said a decision on
the sale would be made after the
hearing panel made a visit to QE
II Park this week, and after all
relevant information had been
passed on by city council staff.
TINY HUTS COMPETITION
Five small-scale ‘tiny huts’ are
headed to New Brighton this
summer and the city council is
holding a competition on what
goes in them. The tiny huts are
based on English seaside beach
huts, each are 2 sq m. They are
to be placed in New Brighton’s
town centre in summer to liven
up the community’s public
places and showcase activities.
The five winning designs will
get $2000 in prize money.
The New Brighton Tiny Huts
Design Competition is open
until June 28, with entry forms
available online at www.ccc.
govt.nz/tinyhuts.
SCOOTER, CAR COLLIDE
A man in his 70s was taken
to hospital last week after a
collision between his scooter
and a car. The incident
happened at about 4.15pm on
Thursday in Mairehau. St John
took the man to hospital with
moderate injuries.
STRONGER WASTEWATER
SYSTEM FOR ARANUI
Another 200 Aranui homes
will be connected to a more
earthquake-resilient wastewater
system over the next four
months. This week Stronger
Christchurch Infrastructure
Rebuild Team will begin to
connect the homes to the new
vacuum system.

Housing subsidy still needed
A Government heating and
insulation subsidy programme
comes to an end in June. Community
Energy Action Charitable
Trust chief executive Caroline
Shone writes this week’s column
about the importance of the
programme and why it should
continue in some form.
Shelter is one of
the most basic of
human needs and
the Universal
Declaration
of Human
Rights says that
everyone has the
right to housing.
It can be debated that housing
that makes people sick, isn’t housing
at all.
However, houses that are damp,
houses that are cold, with the
people living in them unable to
heat them to an adequate temperature
to keep them healthy, are
a reality for many households in
Christchurch.
The old, the young and the sick
suffer most in those houses.
We all know the result.
Every winter sees many residents
ending up in hospital with
preventable cold-related health issues.
Even healthy people get sick
more often in those cold, damp
houses.
SOAP
BOX
From experience we know that
installing insulation and heating
in people’s homes especially those
with health conditions will reduce
hospitalisations, delivering cost
savings to the health system.
Installing insulation and heating
is a one-off cost but the benefits
last a long time, saving money on
health and saving lives every year.
The Government through the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Authority has spent $450
million nationwide on insulation
and heating subsidies over the last
couple of years.
And we know it has made a
difference.
The current subsidy programme
comes to an end in June this year.
It would be fantastic if subsidies
would be available in the future
for those who need insulation.
It’s a great way for Christchurch
people to help those in their community
who need a bit of help to
create a warm, dry, healthy home.

Where should the annual

You said:
Elinor Graeme: Back into
Hagley Park as that is the centre
of the city. We have never gone
to New Brighton on November
5 as it is too difficult to get there
and back.
Sasheen Elizbeth-Jane
Brownlie: Back in Hagley
Park where there is less wind
and therefore less smoke. Yeah
great. Or up where the gondola
is, to see from both sides.
Bethany Nehoff-
Thompson: Back to Hagley
Park. Should have always been
in there.
Jill Reesby: What about Victoria/
Bowenvale/ Mount Vernon
Park areas? Can be viewed
from all over the city, even
from your private backyard. No
traffic issues there. Tune into a
live radio station for the music
to go with the show. And there
are areas around these parks for
gatherings for those that wish to
be there.
Margaret Gamblin: Back in
Hagley Park where it used to be.
It’d be easier for traffic.
Jess Gardner: Combine it
with the Rolleston fireworks
instead - make it better and
longer.
Todd Cameron: What about
Sugarloaf car park? Then the
whole city can see them. Just
ditch the teeny ones and go for
the big ones.
Katrina Prendergast: Nowhere,
save the money and put
it into more needed resources.
Less harm on the animals too.
Andrew Johnson: Hagley.
Traffic would be a nightmare in
Scarborough.
Anne Marie Smulders: Can’t
it be done from boats, like in

Hunt on to find owner
of mystery parakeet
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When the Foley family moved into
their Burwood house last August,
they weren’t expecting to be woken
by a screeching parakeet every
morning.
But that is exactly what happened.
Now the search is on to find the
owner of the parakeet who, inspite of
the early 6.30am wake up call each
morning, the neighbourhood has
grown quite fond of.
The Foleys moved just a few
kilometres from their earthquakedamaged
Lake Terrace Rd home,
and for the first month of their stay,
everything was normal.
But by mid-September, they were
being awoken consistently at about
6.30am every day by the screeching
parakeet.
Roger Foley said at first he had
no idea what was making the noise,
and went outside to investigate.
“I had no idea what was going on,
and went outside to see this beautiful
parakeet in the trees,” he said.
The next day he talked to his
neighbours, who told him they were
surprised that the bird had returned
to the neighbourhood after a cold
winter.
FRIENDLY ALARM: This parakeet has a tendency to wake up its neighbours at
6.30am every day. But they love it.
They told him it was a regular
visitor in the past summer, but presumed
it had died in the winter.
“They said last winter it had
come too, and they just loved it,”
Mr Foley said.
He said the parakeet had a regular
schedule it stuck to.
“It’ll appear in our trees at
6.30am and start screeching, mainly
in our big tree. Then it’ll fly across
to the neighbours and disappear at
about 10.30am. It’ll come back at
night briefly, and then go away until
morning,” he said.
Now, instead of seeing the parakeet
as a loud nuisance, Mr Foley’s
children enjoy being woken up by
the bird.
“Now they love the parakeet too. I
just worry someone is missing their
pet,” he said.
Mr Foley said he had no idea how
old the bird was, or who it belonged
to, but thought the owners should
know it was safe and in good health.

Phillip Mitchell
50 years plumbing: ‘Filthy’ but fun
Avonside’s Phillip Mitchell has had his hand in
the city’s pipes for half a century. He talks with
Matthew Salmons about his life as a plumber,
being a tutor and winning the Graeme Victor Smith
Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award
Well Phillip, you’re clearly the
plumbing master around here,
but why did you decide to get
into the trade in the first place?
My father went with me to a
vocational guidance counsellor
in the square. The guy that was
interviewing me said ‘I know
a bloke by the name of Athol
Jamieson.’ He knew him on a
fairly friendly basis so I went
and saw him. He had a fairly
large company and said ‘there’s a
job there if you want it.’ I’d seen
plumbers, we’d not long had the
sewerage put on in the house and
a flush toilet put in, which you
guys would take for granted now.
I was fascinated. So I thought
‘it’s not a bad idea’, and that’s
what it was.
So when did you start your
apprenticeship?
In the days when I did my apprenticeship,
you signed up for
what they called a 12,000 hour
apprenticeship which equates to
six years. In that era, when you
got to your fifth year you could
sit your license and if you passed
your exam you didn’t have to do
your sixth year, so there was a
lot of incentive there. In those
days it was about five pounds a
week which probably equates to,
I don’t know, $200 these days.
A tradesman now could get
about $30 an hour, about $1200
a week, and an apprentice, well
they probably get more than
$200, so a lot of incentive there
to pass. I spent most of my apprenticeship
under a guy named
Bill Walsh, an Irish plumber,
and also with his brother John.
They were ship’s plumbers, they
were fastidious. If something
happened it was either right or it
was wrong.
And after you finished your
apprenticeship did you stay
with the same company?
No, after I finished I left
plumbing for a wee while and I
did quantity surveying. It was a
very good experience and I was
fortunate that I had the trades
experience to do it. It was very
enjoyable.
Did you work on any big
projects?
I did, it was Wilkins and
Davies I was working for at the
time. The buildings at Canterbury
University were being built
then, and we worked on them.
That was straight out of my apprenticeship,
so when I left that I
went to learn about drain laying.
I’ve always enjoyed drain laying.
When you’re doing it, you feel
like you’ve achieved more than
you would working in a bathroom.
I did that for the best part
of a year, then I put the sewerage
into John Walsh’s house. That
was the practical part of my
exam. I started working for a
drain laying firm then, but they
went out of business, so at about
23 I started working for myself.
You knew nothing then, but that
was beside the point because
you thought you did and you had
to get experience the hard way.
So I was working for myself for
a while and I was doing some
tutoring at night. When you’re
tutoring and still in the trades,
to the students, you’re still a
plumber.
Working full time and tutoring
at nights, it must’ve taken a
toll on your social life?
I was young, I was only about
27 when I finished that and when
you’re young you could burn the
candle at both ends a bit.
Where did you do your
tutoring?
In town, it was called
Christchurch Technical College
then - it has had about three
name changes since then. It was
only one night a week at that
stage. That was about 1969, then
me and another guy started commercial
drain laying. We had a
lot of fun, we did all of the drainage
at QE II which was a monstrous
job, but we just got stuck
in and got on with it. We were
young and wishful, ‘of course we
can bloody well do it.’
Far out, was it only you two
doing the job?
No, we had 10 staff on. We
updated the Kaiapoi sewerage
plant as well. It was physical,
hard work but enjoyable. You
were outside all the time. Sometimes
you wore yourself out,
but that’s just life. We formed a
partnership called Mitchell and
Rodgers. You used to be filthy
everyday, but that’s part of your
life and you hope that you can
look back on your life and have
enjoyed it.
How did it feel to receive that
award?
I thought why me? I’d started
in 2005 with just me, with
another tutor joining in 2006 and
another in 2007. We now have
eight, virtually a new tutor every
year. We do work for the school’s
organisation and Ara Institute of
Canterbury managed apprenticeships
in plumbing and gas fitting.
We’ve grown and grown, I have
to ask myself, is this real?
It’s been an absolutely fantastic
journey building this thing, I
have had some really great support,
and I didn’t do it alone by
any stretch of the imagination.
I’m putting back what I got out
of the industry.
And your family has been
supportive for all this time,
tutoring and working?
I could never have done it
without the support of my wife,
Beth, she’s always worked in the
background.
Where did you meet your
wife?
Through one of my cousins,
she was a friend of hers, they
bought us together, many years
ago now but that’s alright. We
went to the pictures, the usual
courting thing, it was different
then than it is today, 6 o’clock
closing, it was the 6 o’clock
swill. We went to dances and the
pictures, things like that, nothing
out of the ordinary.
Where did you grow up?
In Marshland Rd, bottom end,
so I’m not very far from home.
There wasn’t many houses. We
were in one of the houses at the
bottom end. It was still basically
farmlands, was still in the country
then. Shirley Lodge it was
called then, I don’t know what

days a week.
it’s called now, we were midway
between that and Shirley Rd, but
we still lived in the country.
And where did you go to
school?
Shirley Primary of course,
my great-grandparents on one
side took up land on the side of
Marshland Rd, so it was pretty
family orientated from there.
Every kid’s good at school, I was
just an average kid at school.
I didn’t excel at anything. My
mother would’ve thought I was
outstanding.
Has your passion for plumbing
been passed on to your
kids?
No, I’ve got two daughters and
one grandson who is 32. I used
to take him on work experience,
he enjoyed it, and he could’ve
done it blind, but he said there
was too much to learn. But for
the students, I’ve chosen my
path, I have to sell them the
industry. You go to work for fun,
if you don’t enjoy your work, get
another job! I’ve got to be passionate
about the industry.
Not looking at retirement?
Well, I’m only working three
days a week, I treat it as a hobby
now, not a job. I’m going to be 74
in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have
to sooner or later, but I’m still
enjoying it.

The annual fireworks display will not be held at
the New Brighton Pier for at least the next two
years while it undergoes repairs. The Pegasus
Post asked what people thought of the decision
and if it was worth fighting to keep them in the
eastern suburbs.

Southshore Residents’
Association chairman Bill
Simpson: “It would be a
bit disappointing to see
it moved, but I suppose
the repairs are necessary.
I imagine it’d be good
to have it temporarily in
Scarborough but for the
long term it should come
back to New Brighton. If
New Brighton residents
are keen to keep it there,
we’d definitely be in full
support of them, but I
don’t think we would
initiate that ourselves. I
would think a promise
that it would come
back would be better
than a replacement
event – there may be
neighbourhood events
on the beach but they
wouldn’t be of the same
scale.”
New Brighton Union
Parish co-ordinating
minister Mark Gibson:
“People have repair
fatigue in the east. I
just don’t think people
will be able to handle
anymore disruption to
places they enjoy visiting
in the area. It’s sort of
taking yet another thing
away from New Brighton.
There have been a lot of
losses, the community is
desperate to see things
built and installed and
all the rest of it. They
want to see new things
that aren’t going to be
taken away. I think there
needs to be something
else happening, if not
in New Brighton then in
the east in the interim
during those repairs. But
the city council should
be committing itself
long term to return the
fireworks in New Brighton
once the repairs are
finished.”

IMMUNISE YOURSELF
Have you immunised yourself & family against the
bacterial complications of colds this winter.
Strategic Urban
Rejuvenation Force
chairwoman Lesley
Fulton: “I think probably
the fear is that if it leaves
it may never come back.
Most of the work will be
done from underneath
and from the sea-level,
so it’d just be about
getting a few people onto
the pier to set up the
fireworks. Keeping them
on the pier if possible
should be the priority. If
there is an opportunity
for the community to
fight for them then they
should, it’s something
special for us. If it is taken
away then I’d rather
have a promise than a
replacement event. If
they were prepared to
have something in its
place for those two years
that would be good but
I would want to see it
come back after the
repairs.”
WARM STEAM
VAPORIZER
City councillor Glenn
Livingstone: “What the
closure means is two
things for me: The first is
amenity – we still want the
community and the city to
use and enjoy the pier. The
other is safety. As elected
members we have to make
good sensible decisions.
I’m not saying we can’t do
it, but we are up against it.
We need to keep pushing.
I will be fighting to keep
the fireworks. It’s a drawcard
for New Brighton and
I think we need to keep
it. If they have to move, if
they really have to . . . it
is hard to get these things
back. I would say we need
a promise to keep it there
after the repairs are done.
As soon as you open that
door for another venue, it
is hard to get them back.”
Natural Steam

New Brighton Pier and
Foreshore Society deputy
chairman Tim Sintes:
“When it was first being
built, they held fireworks
while it was still under
construction. There must
be a solution. If the tide
is right, we could have it
on a barge in the estuary,
so everyone could see it.
We want it on the pier,
but we could have it
there. It’s more than just
a fireworks display for
us – it’s one of the last
things we have. You’ve
got to be careful there
(bringing in a replacement
event) too, because if you
bring a replacement to
New Brighton you have
to think about it affecting
the community it was
in before. I can’t think
of any other community
event that could replace
the fireworks. I wouldn’t
have a replacement event
and promises have a habit
of being broken around
here.”
Burwood-Pegasus
Community Board
member Linda Stewart:
“It’s worth fighting for
100 per cent. If we lose
it we’ll find it very hard
to get it back. There is
always a solution, it’s just
if the staff will work on
it. No one has come back
and said it can’t be held
on the pier yet, so there
is every possibility it can
be done. I don’t know if a
replacement event would
be that successful. What
else brings the whole city
to New Brighton? The
library is closing too, and
I keep waiting for council
staff to say ‘here’s the
solution’, but they don’t.
Probably I think the Santa
Parade would be a good
replacement, maybe
running it from the pier
to Rawhiti Domain. I’d
take both. I’d like to see
replacement events, and
then when the repairs are
done, the fireworks return
to the pier.”

New Brighton inspires
surfer turned author
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
NEW POOL: City councillor Yani Johanson, Jack Cleminson, Regan and
Liam Glass, and Beau Cole check out the demolished site.
New pool work starts
Work has begun on rebuilding the
Avebury Park paddling pool in
Richmond.
The pool, on Evelyn Cousins
Ave, has been closed since it was
damaged beyond repair after the
February 2011 earthquake.
The demolition of the old pool
began last Tuesday and was completed
last Friday.
The new facility will be rebuilt
with new concrete surrounds,
new seating areas, a new access
ramp and a large shade sail. The
original plant room and existing
fencing will be reused.
It is expected the new paddling
pool will reopen towards the end
of the year, in time for the summer
months.
Hagley-Ferrymead Community
Board chairwoman Sara Templeton
said the pool had been missed
by the community and it would

be great to have it back up and

“I know that many parents
have taken their children to the
pool over the years and that it has
been sorely missed, especially
with all of the hot days we’ve had
recently,” she said.
NEW LOCATION ADVERT.pdf 1 1/05/2014 11:51:35 a.m.
If you were a surfer hanging
around New Brighton beach in
the 1970s you may recognise
some of the characters in a new
novel based on the area.
Leon Paulin, 62, has released
his new book Shooting
Albatrosses, which he says
does have characters that are
“loosely” based on real life
people that influenced his own
childhood.
The novel is about a young
surfer taking on the waves at
New Brighton, Scarborough
and Taylors Mistake, while
battling his own problems.
“It is kind of loosely based on
my experiences from the time.
The characters have kind of
little essences of real people in
them. It’s a fictitious story with
my background knowledge of
the areas,” he said.
Mr Paulin said it can be
strange when a reader asks if
the characters are based on real
people they know.
“People have since come up
to me and said is this character
based on such and such, or that
reminds me of this person – it’s
quite strange. It’s not intentional,”
he said.
He used his “extensive”
knowledge of the coastal
suburbs of Taylors Mistake,
Scarborough and New Brighton
while writing the post-earthquake
story.
“I was a bit of a surfer back in
the day – my mates and I would
mainly hang out around New
Brighton Beach.
“We used to live in North
New Brighton on Bowhill Rd,
and then Keyes Rd near New
Brighton, before moving to
Oamaru,” he said.
Mr Paulin said the story was
unique, but still “in a way, typically
Kiwi”.
“It’s basically about a teenage
boy that’s been deserted by
his father and has to look after

his mother. While he tries to do
that, he also tries to prove himself
to his father. It’s very kiwi
in a way,” he said.
Shooting Albatrosses is Mr
Paulin’s first published book,
which he is “quite excited”
about, although he has written
others which haven’t been
published.
The book can be found online
at www.amazon.com, searching

Amputee’s story told
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When Trixie Wuts was born her parents
had a very difficult decision to make
whether or not to amputate both of her
legs to the knee.
On the advice of medical professionals,
Trixie’s parents Anton and Margot
Wuts decided amputation was the best
solution.
Their experience has been documented
in a children’s book that they wrote,
called Little Jellybean.
It is being distributed by the Amputee
Society of Canterbury and Westland to
help families facing a similar choice.
The society helped get a $5000 grant
for the publishing and distribution of the
book from the Artificial Limb Service.
Trixie was diagnosed with distal arthrogryposis
before she was born, meaning
she had crooked or hooked joints in
her feet.
She had many procedures done when
she was born, which attempted to correct
the deformities in both of her feet, but
they were largely unsuccessful.
The surgery however, was and Trixie
now “leads a full and active life” with
her new feet.
Amputee Society of Canterbury and
Westland president Mark Bruce said the
more families that can be reached with
the book, the better.
“It’s about raising awareness for
parents in a situation where their child
is very unwell. The story is mainly
about the parents having to make an
incredibly tough decision to help their
children,” he said.
Mr Bruce said the book will become
an invaluable source for those looking
for support.
“If you have a young one with an
amputation or have a young one about
to undergo an amputation then this is a
great resource.
“The future of the federation is in its
youth . . . If we can affect just one family
with the help of this book, then it’s been
a worthwhile venture,” he said.
The society are making copies of the
book available from their national and
regional co-ordinators, who can be contacted
on www.af.org.nz.
NEW HELP: Amputee Society of Canterbury
and Westland president Mark Bruce
is helping promote a new source of
information for parents.

Haircuts for Haircuts
Celebrating 30 years of great service
Haircuts for Haircuts are
celebrating – this year, they
turn 30. That’s 30 years of
reasonably-priced great
haircutting and 30 years of awesome,
friendly customer service.
It is rare for a small business to be so
successful for so long - Michelle has been
the driving force behind the two cutting
bars for the three decades. She believes
they have done so well because they go
above and beyond for their customers.
“We are already affordable, but we
offer discounts for pensioners, university
students and children on top of that,”
she explains. “We are here for the whole
family and we offer a welcoming, friendly
atmosphere to make the experience
enjoyable.”
It’s easy and convenient, too. Because
they are located in the Bush Inn Centre
and South City Mall, getting a haircut can
be combined with shopping and running
errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days
a week and there’s no need to be tied to an
appointment. Just head on in, take your
place and sit and relax while you wait.
There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at
any time, so you’re never waiting for long.
But it’s much more than that – all their staff
are fully-qualified, professional stylists and
they focus on nothing but hair cutting.
That means they have expertise and will
take the time to find out what you want and
give you the best advice. They can deliver
trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a
client requests. They pride themselves on
the positive experience they offer so that
clients leave them looking good and feeling
great. The salons are up to the minute, but
Michelle has given them a taste of the past,
too, installing traditional barber’s chairs
in recognition of her 30 years’ anniversary
so the customers get to combine the
traditional with the ultra-modern.
Michelle knows that it’s customer loyalty
that has kept her in business for so long,
and repays customers with a loyalty scheme
where every 8th cut is free. She also offers
styling products so you can recreate your
salon look at home but her real aim is to
cater for the community by providing
fabulous haircuts for the whole family in
a friendly atmosphere and all at affordable
prices.

the corner of Riccarton and Waimari
Road (telephone 3487008) or the South

WORLD CHAMP: Ethan De Rose (second from right) recently won two junior world
development speed skating gold medals.
Ice skater celebrates
birthday with gold
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Shirley Boys’ High School year 10
student Ethan De Rose celebrated his
14th birthday by becoming a youth
world champion.
Speed ice skater De Rose became the
500m and 1000m sprint world youth
champion, when he competed
in two competitions
in Melbourne.
He also won a bronze
medal when he competed
in the age grade above.
De Rose took to the
ice for the International
Skating Union’s World
Development Short Track
Speed Skating Trophy,
and then the tri series
competition the following
weekend.
In the first competition, he blitzed the
preliminary heats for the 1000m, winning
by more than 10sec. He followed
that up by a 3sec win in the A final, earning
him his first gold medal.
The 500m sprint competition was a
lot closer though, and as there were no
preliminary heats, only a straight final,
De Rose said he was happy to come
away with a win by just a third of a
second.
“Yeah, really happy. I actually got my
personal best in the 500m sprint. I did
it in 47.8sec, which is only 0.8sec away
from a junior Olympic qualification
time,” he said.
De Rose competed against international
skaters in both the short track speed
skating trophy and the tri series.

Manage
your time
How can you effectively manage
your busy day? Time
management is not necessarily
working “harder,” but rather,
“smarter.” Here are five time
management mistakes we
should all avoid to increase our
daily success both on and off the
job.
1. Starting your day without a
plan of action. Time
management is doing the right
things initially.
2. Losing balance in your life.
Our lives comprise seven vital
areas that need balance. These
areas include health, family,
financial, intellectual, social,
professional, and spiritual.
3. Working with a messy desk or
work area. Studies have shown
that the person who works with
a messy desk spends, on
average, one-and-a-half hours
per day looking for things or
being distracted by things.
4. Getting insufficient sleep.
Studies show that nearly 75 per
cent of us complain on a regular
basis that we are tired.
5. Giving up a lunch break. Many

do not take a lunch break.
Studies have shown that after
doing what we do for several
hours, we start to “dull out.”
A lunch break, even a short
15-minute break, gives us a
chance to get our batteries
charged up again to more
effectively handle.
Bottom line: Prioritise! End
your day with a list of things to
do tomorrow. Ensure they are in
order of importance and
timeliness.

Device to Prevent Snoring
Why put up with broken sleep,
when help is at hand with
Snorex, an appliance that
prevents snoring, sleep
apnoea, and dry and raw throats.
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for
comfort, and a follow up service is provided.
Denise Lim has been involved with Snores
for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate
with people using the appliance. Snoring can
be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea,
where the person actually stops breathing for
short periods.
It can cause short-term memory loss,
tiredness and contribute to high blood
pressure.
The Snorex device does not feel restrictive,
is non-invasive and carries a money-back
guarantee.
Many people are referred by ear, nose
and throat specialists, however, anyone can
phone for an appointment.
For an information pack or to discuss
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim

A Mother of All Gifts
Take the worry out of Mother’s Day!
Wondering what to buy Mum
when a box of chocolates or
hand-cream won’t do another
year round?
A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me
a new idea. When many of our mothers are
feeling the ache of ageing limbs, or suffer
with chronic pain or circulatory problems,
Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help
answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to
fit your pocket, simple in concept, easy to use
and acclaimed by a growing number of users
in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an
envelope if Mum lives a distance away.
For painful hands, feet or legs this small
therapeutic device is used when sitting, most
effective when used in several short spells a
day - no need for long tough workouts. Jenny
says, “Many delighted people report that it
helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems
such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know
that regular use while sitting watching TV
can begin the progress of stronger legs, better
balance, comfortable walking and freedom
from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage
a range of health conditions – it offers
relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost
anywhere.
Jenny showed me some of the many
grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle
users have spent heavily on medications
and therapy before discovering this simple
effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “News
is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we
still have a way to go.”
Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well
done Jenny! Mum – you’re going to like this!

Care, compassion and skill
define Nurse Maude
Nurse Maude has been caring for the people of Canterbury since 1896.
Much of this nursing care
and support has been in the
community so people can stay
in their own homes and retain
as much independence as possible.
Every year millions of kilometres are
clocked up as nurses and home support
workers cross the Canterbury region
providing personal, domestic, nursing and
specialist palliative care.
“All the nursing and homecare services
we provide, whether it be in the community
or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse
Maude Hospice are founded on the core
principles of partnership, respect and
nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief
executive of Nurse Maude.
“Our unique strength lies in the ability
of our people to blend that with the values
which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896;
that the needs of the patients and clients are
met with quality nursing care and support
provided by skilled and compassionate staff.”
“The broad spectrum of care provided by
Nurse Maude encompasses the two most
vulnerable groups in our society, the very
young and the elderly.”
Nurse Maude has always been a
collaborative organisation, providing care
in partnership with general practitioners,
practice nurses, district health boards, ACC
and the Ministry of Health among others.
“It is through improved communication
and the sharing of information that these
relationships continue to strengthen for
the benefit of our patients and clients,” says
Magee.
From the frontline staff who exhibit
that blend of expertise, efficiency and
compassion which makes Nurse Maude so
special through to those who support them
in administrative roles and Nurse Maude’s
volunteers who give so generously of their
time and talent, the organisation that is
Nurse Maude attracts enormous respect in
the community.
While the technology, processes and
systems used to provide that care today
would no doubt astonish Sibylla Maude,
there is little doubt that 120 years on that
the organisation that bears her name and
continues her legacy of care would meet
with her wholehearted approval.

Effective Natural Skincare that is
Ideal for Problem Skin
MooGoo produce a full range
of safe, natural skin and scalp
products that are especially
suited for those with problem
skin. In these products they only use top
quality edible ingredients that are known
to be highly effective and good for our skin.
These active ingredients are only used in
correct concentrations for effective results
and not just added to look good on the label.
Because the MooGoo range is so safe and yet
so effective is probably why it was rated the
number one most preferred brand of nonprescription
(non-steroid) creams for those
suffering from problem skin in Australia.
It is also recommended by many medical
practitioners in Australia.
As MooGoo products are safe and natural
they are ideal for long term use from babies
to adults. They are an effective alternative
or follow-up treatment to chemicallybased
ointments.
Although MooGoo products are commonly
used by people with skin complaints like
Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis etc, the
range of products are becoming increasingly
popular for healthy skin care. The Skin Milk
Udder Cream is the lightest of creams that can
easily penetrate the skin with its beneficial
ingredients especially the milk protein which
has been shown to increase skin elasticity
and health. It is non-greasy and contains no
mineral oil or other nasties.
The comprehensive MooGoo range
includes the popular Milk Shampoo and
Conditioner, Milk Wash, Cleansing Bars,
Fresh Cream Deodorant, Body Spray, Edible
Lip Balms, Baby range and much more.
The MooGoo range and further detailed
information and advice is available from
the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy in New Brighton.

Keep comfortable with
EnviroMaster
Are you struggling with the heat
of Summer or wanting to get
organised for Winter? With the
ever changing weather patterns,
heat pumps have the flexibility of being able
to heat and cool which is an advantage no
other appliance can offer. This represents
great value for your investment as you can
use it all year round. The team at Enviro
Master Ltd can help keep you cool this
Summer either at home or work. Enviro
Master supplies, installs and services all
the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
We currently have savings up to $600
off the recommended retail price on
selected models.
Would you like to maximise the number
of days you can use your swimming pool?
Heating your pool can do this and one of
the most cost effective ways is with a water
heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply,
install and service you swimming pool heat
pump providing you with a comfortable,
extended swimming season.
Servicing your heat pump is extremely
important to ensure that it is working
as effectively and efficiently as possible
resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,
lower power bills and greater comfort. But
beware, not all cleaning companies are
equal. We are constantly hearing of people
being charged huge amounts for servicing
and all they are getting is a heat pump
clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified
engineers and therefore are able to fully
test and diagnose any problems you may
or may not be aware of with your heat
pump. Also, as we are associated with all
major brands, we are able to repair these
under warranty if they are still within the
warranty period.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.
For a free in home consultation, call
Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our
showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd,
Waltham, Christchurch.
An extensive range
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for
your building requirement. Smooth-
Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment,
from air vents to ducting for fans, for both
the commercial and domestic markets. They
have an extensive range of fans and ventilation
components in-store but they can also provide
innovative solutions tailored to differing
requirements.
VENTILATIoN
This includes both the exchange of air to the
outside as well as circulation of air within the
building. It is one of the most important factors
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality
in buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
- warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In case
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,
smells, humidity and harmful substances are
not removed.
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high
content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful
and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells
can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous
system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for
cross ventilation, however as winter approaches,
we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat
and as a result, air quality can decline.
It is therefore very important to ensure good
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.
HOME OR OFFICE
TOO HOT OR
TOO COLD?
Allow us to help you achieve year-round comfort
with a professionally installed heat pump.
We have a wealth of knowledge and experience
and we guide our clients through the selection

Auction: May 12, 2016
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4869
Designed to maximise the glorious
views, you will be captivated as
you gaze over the estuary and
Southshore to take in the sweep
of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond.
This is not for the casual observer as the
home conceals its appealing and spacious
interior from the street, and it’s only once
you have soaked up the stunning views will
you be able to enjoy the expansive family
living, including a bright, modern kitchen
and defined dining area, then explore further
into the home.
To suit families who want extra space,
there is a large formal lounge/media room
on the first floor, which would also suit those
who wished to have an office to work from
home as it features easy separate access from
the street while on the lower level the home
offers a master bedroom complete with en
suite, three further good-sized bedrooms
and main bathroom. There is also the benefit
of a shower room on the ground floor, which
is ideal when you get back from a quick surf
or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short
drive away.
For your outdoor entertaining, the west
-facing timber deck is perfect for summer
BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at
the end of the day. The internal access,
triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes
the package.
Having just completed a major renovation
to a very high standard, the home will meet
the demands of the most discerning buyers
and, while I am surprised the decision has
been made to sell such a wonderful home, I
have been given clear instructions to sell the
property on auction day, unless sold prior.
Open Home dates: Wednesdays and
Sundays, 2pm to 2.40pm. See you at
the Open Days. For more information
