Fast food solution sought FOOTPATH<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

A CAMPAIGN to crack down<br />

on the proliferation of fast food<br />

outlets has found favour with<br />

city councillors but concerns<br />

were raised over how fast food<br />

could be defined.<br />

Representatives from the<br />

Linwood community, including<br />

schools and health professionals,<br />

made a deputation to the city<br />

council on Thursday asking<br />

for support to limit the ability<br />

of fast food outlets to set up<br />

around schools and low income<br />

areas.<br />

City councillors requested that<br />

staff further investigate options<br />

for possible legislative measures<br />

as well as other measures that<br />

could be taken to encourage<br />

healthy eating and report back<br />

as soon as possible.<br />

All city councillors who<br />

spoke on the matter expressed<br />

support for doing something to<br />

tackle the issue. However, some<br />

including Raf Manji questioned<br />

how fast food could be officially<br />

defined.<br />

“I can see how you could come<br />

up with a planning proposal<br />

where you could limit the size<br />

of food outlets near a school<br />

and that kind of stuff,” Cr Manji<br />

said.<br />

PACKED: The number of fast food outlets in Linwood has caused concern in the community.<br />

“But I think you are delving<br />

into something that is quite<br />

unsolvable in terms of defining<br />

what healthy food is.”<br />

City councillor Yani Johanson<br />

said the city council had a proud<br />

tradition of leading the way on<br />

championing solutions for such<br />

difficult issues.<br />

“We should continue to do<br />

that as we are being asked to<br />

today,” Cr Johanson said.<br />

“This is difficult, and I think<br />

that point has been well made<br />

by everyone, but actually it is<br />

also very simple – it’s whether or<br />

not we wish to stand up for our<br />

community, for our children, for<br />

the health of our city by taking<br />

a more regulatory approach to<br />

these issues.”<br />

Linwood Medical Centre<br />

medical director Jane Heatherington,<br />

who was part of the<br />

group making the deputation,<br />

said the medical centre had<br />

seen the effect of fast food on its<br />

patients over the 35 years that<br />

it had been part of the community.<br />

“In Linwood we have got a<br />

higher proportion of obese and<br />

overweight children than the<br />

rest of Christchurch,” she said.<br />

“We have obese children who<br />

have high blood pressure, high<br />

cholesterol and sleep apnea, we<br />

see the poor diet affects their<br />

learning and their mood, we<br />

see parents with arthritis and<br />

diabetes and liver damage and<br />

then we see their grandparents<br />

with heart disease, renal failure,<br />

amputations, kidney failure and<br />

early deaths.”<br />

In Brief<br />

REPAIRS START<br />

Repairs to footpaths, kerb and<br />

channels along Pages Rd have<br />

begun. The work, which will take<br />

place between numbers 471A and<br />

539 are expected to take until<br />

the end of October to complete.<br />

Driveway access could be affected<br />

for a short period of time but if<br />

this is the case workers will alert<br />

the affected properties before<br />

work starts. The work may result<br />

in increased dust, noise and<br />

vibrations.<br />

BUS DETOURS<br />

Until further notice the Beach Rd<br />

detour will be extended and all<br />

buses will detour away from part<br />

of Beach Rd while road works<br />

are carried out. Buses travelling<br />

towards Parklands will detour<br />

off Beach Rd onto Effingham St,<br />

Pacific Rd, Marine Pde, Beach<br />

Rd, Broadpark Rd and Larnach St<br />

back onto Aston Dr to continue<br />

the normal route. Buses travelling<br />

towards the city will detour<br />

off Aston Dr onto Larnach St,<br />

Broadpark Rd, Beach Rd, Marine<br />

Pde, Pacific Rd and Effingham St<br />

back onto Beach Rd to continue<br />

the normal route. Bus stops 2<strong>16</strong>54<br />

and 21568 on Aston Dr and<br />

stops 12132 and 40869 on Beach<br />

Rd will be closed during this<br />

time. Temporary stops for both<br />

directions are available further<br />

north on Aston Dr.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

One man and his 1000 dreams<br />

• By Roy Sinclair<br />

NEIL ANDREWS leads the<br />

way down precarious steps to a<br />

seemingly underground room.<br />

He flicks on a light switch.<br />

I am wowed by a high viaduct<br />

spanning a realistic gorge. My<br />

eyes are led to tall forests, tree<br />

ferns galore and a painted backdrop<br />

depicting a stormy sky.<br />

“This is what I do,” he says.<br />

“It is not what I do in my spare<br />

time.<br />

“I mow the lawns in my spare<br />

time.”<br />

The room was purpose-built<br />

for the 9mm (scale 9mm to the<br />

foot) layout representative of a<br />

one-time railway in Northland.<br />

In his garage he is working on<br />

a second, portable, layout. This is<br />

a narrow-gauge railway based on<br />

French townscapes.<br />

Model railways is an interest<br />

he could not be without.<br />

“When I met my partner,<br />

Helen, I told her it is me and my<br />

trains. They are inseparable.<br />

“She accepted that which was<br />

great.”<br />

He describes railway modelling<br />

“as a thousand dreams<br />

held together by a hundred<br />

unfinished jobs. In other words,<br />

a degree of chaos.”<br />

“Part of the fascination is<br />

HAND-MADE: Model builder, Neil Andrews and his miniature creation of early last century<br />

Northland. ​<br />

delving into history to discover<br />

how it all would have looked like<br />

early last century,” Mr Andrews<br />

said.<br />

He always liked to do things<br />

with his hands. He enjoyed art<br />

at school – and building things.<br />

Even when he had clockwork<br />

railways he was always cutting<br />

up cardboard boxes to make<br />

buildings.<br />

He recalls scoring designs on<br />

pieces of wood to make boats.<br />

Railways became another part<br />

of it.<br />

Getting into more serious railway<br />

modelling during the late<br />

1950s, there was not much stuff<br />

available and if it was he didn’t<br />

have the money.<br />

If he wanted it he made it.<br />

“My mother used to take me to<br />

the railway station. I remember<br />

being in my pushchair watching<br />

the Lyttelton trains come and<br />

go.<br />

“Then at primary school I was<br />

quite capable of making an Ecclass<br />

electric locomotive with the<br />

distinctive air compressor tanks<br />

across the front. Everyone could<br />

recognise it.”<br />

Later, any new gadget at his<br />

Canterbury University laboratory<br />

would be first examined to<br />

how it would be useful on the<br />

model railway.<br />

“Then we would work out how<br />

it was intended to be used.”<br />

His workplace became known<br />

as “the model train laboratory.”<br />

That’s what people who visited<br />

talked about.<br />

He travelled to model railroad<br />

conventions in the United States,<br />

becoming a member of the<br />

R.G.S. East Hon3 club.<br />

He visited huge model railway<br />

shows in Cologne and Miniature<br />

Wonderland in Hamburg.<br />

“In Germany a model railway<br />

is like a dishwasher. Everyone<br />

has to have one. And most offerings<br />

are German-made. They are<br />

excellent.<br />

“On one European trip Helen<br />

and I were forced off the road by<br />

Tour de France officials.<br />

“We had to divert into a backwater<br />

countryside.<br />

Are you the TYPE to save a Life?<br />

Every year 42,000 New Zealanders rely on donated blood<br />

or blood products.<br />

For many, receiving blood is a life-changing experience and<br />

it’s thanks to the 3,000 Kiwis donating every week that this<br />

can happen<br />

We really need your support, we are coming to New<br />

Brighton for the first time and we NEED YOU TO DONATE!<br />

Heke Family Story<br />

When Joseph Heke (Ngapuhi/Ngati Hineuru) started dating<br />

his girlfriend Melissa (Ngati Maniapoto) in 2007, it not only<br />

led him on a path towards becoming a husband and father,<br />

but also put him on a path to saving lives.<br />

Melissa convinced him to become a blood donor early on<br />

in their relationship as she had been a regular donor since<br />

donating at high school. She had seen the process at a<br />

young age whilst going with her Mum to regularly donate<br />

blood and knew that when she was old enough that she<br />

wanted to save lives in this way as well. After becoming<br />

a blood donor, Joseph was approached by the nurses<br />

during one of his donations about joining the New Zealand<br />

Bone Marrow Donor Registry (NZBMDR). He signed up<br />

after learning that Māori donors were sought after for the<br />

Registry. For more information go to www.bonemarrow.<br />

org.nz.<br />

Joseph and his wife Melissa firmly believe “If you can<br />

donate, give”, and between them have now saved over 100<br />

lives in New Zealand, along with one person overseas, with<br />

their generous donations.<br />

The couple have three children who will one day hopefully<br />

follow in their parents’ footsteps to become blood donors,<br />

and join NZBMDR too!<br />

“Seeing her mum donate was where it all started for Mel<br />

and that’s why we take our kids to see it happen now, so<br />

when they grow up, they’ll know it saves lives and that it’s<br />

not painful and scary.” –Joseph Heke<br />

BUILDING: A train layout under construction and a G-scale<br />

layout at last year’s Christchurch Model Train Show.<br />

“There we found towns of<br />

beautiful buildings with terracotta<br />

roofs. We had discovered<br />

the romance of the French countryside.<br />

“Anything French is different.<br />

If you see a French car you know<br />

it is French because it looks nothing<br />

like anything else. It is the<br />

same with railways.<br />

“Their narrow gauge railways<br />

were basically portable. They<br />

could be picked up and laid<br />

beside a road.<br />

“That really intrigued me. Narrow<br />

gauge secondary lines were<br />

introduced to boost the network<br />

of French railways.’’<br />

The unplanned detour instigated<br />

his French narrow gauge layout.<br />

“One develops a modeller’s<br />

mind.<br />

“A modeller will typically think<br />

how it would look in miniature?”<br />

He talks about Hamburg’s<br />

mind-boggling Miniature Wonderland.<br />

“It’s absolutely intriguing. It’s<br />

a huge collection that is pushing<br />

the boundaries of technology and<br />

inspiring manufacturers to pick<br />

up on it with new products.”<br />

“The model aircraft must<br />

represent the peak of model<br />

building.’’<br />

“The model trains have been<br />

running for so long the track is<br />

wearing out.”<br />

The closest we have in<br />

Christchurch is the annual big<br />

model train Show, this year being<br />

held over the weekend of October<br />

1 and 2.<br />

The venue is Pioneer Stadium<br />

in Lyttelton St, Spreydon. It is the<br />

show’s 25th anniversary so promises<br />

to be special.<br />

Mr Andrews was an instigator<br />

of the event, starting a model<br />

train show at Hagley Community<br />

College and then expanding to<br />

the Horticultural Society hall.<br />

Then, the Christchurch Model<br />

Railway Exhibition Society was<br />

formed and took over. Its growth<br />

took it to Pioneer Stadium where<br />

it has been ever since. At its peak<br />

the show attracted 10,000 people<br />

over the two days.<br />

“It’s about its optimum size.<br />

“Considering our modest<br />

Christchurch population we do a<br />

pretty good job,” he said.<br />

This year’s show will help those<br />

wanting to get into the hobby.<br />

“We will have beginners’ train<br />

sets and heaps of demonstrations.<br />

Find out the best models to buy<br />

and learn how to make things.<br />

“Technology will be to the<br />

fore. This is enhancing the hobby<br />

and drawing younger people in.<br />

They can operate a railway from<br />

a PC or mobile phone, utilising<br />

wi-fi and DCC (digital control<br />

systems).”<br />

He says model railway people<br />

are an enthusiastic bunch. They<br />

will do their utmost to share<br />

what they know.<br />

Andrews will be on the demonstrations<br />

desk. It is likely he will<br />

let slip how to disguise a lot of<br />

money spent on the hobby within<br />

the weekly household bills.<br />

SCIRT programme on the home straight<br />

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is<br />

almost complete and will finish in December.<br />

Most of our repairs involve fixing the city’s underground pipe networks with only small<br />

amount of our work focused on roads.<br />

Our roading work largely involves fixing where we have dug down to repair and replace<br />

the earthquake damaged pipes beneath. The result may look a little patchy but we repair<br />

roads to a reliable and serviceable standard.<br />

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the<br />

city's earthquake-damaged roads after SCIRT.<br />

Progress in your neighbourhood<br />

• We’re almost finished connecting homes in Aranui to the new resilient vacuum system. This will be<br />

completed this month. Roading work will continue until the end of the year.<br />

• We’re more than halfway through the extensive repairs to the wastewater, storm water, fresh water<br />

and roading networks in Parklands.<br />

• The three-year programme of repairs to the wastewater, storm water, fresh water and roads in<br />

Burwood is due to finish in the next few months.<br />

• New Brighton will still see major works to the wastewater network and crews repairing small<br />

sections of road until December.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Singer-songwriter has<br />

Singer-songwriter Asti-Loren Newman might only be 18, but she has already<br />

travelled the world and attended the same school as Amy Winehouse. Annabelle<br />

Dick talked to Asti-Loren about her new album, Psychedelic Rose, and getting<br />

barred from the school choir thanks to a questionable comment about her<br />

teacher’s facial hair.<br />

So as a singer-songwriter,<br />

when did you get into music?<br />

I’ve always had a massive<br />

passion for music. When I was<br />

about 11-years-old, I joined<br />

the Christchurch City Chorus,<br />

which is like a 150-person barbershop.<br />

We went to New York<br />

and sung when I was 13, which<br />

was awesome. I worked with<br />

Nolan from the Christchurch<br />

School of Rock in Sumner and<br />

would perform at the Headless<br />

Mexican. I’d also do busking<br />

along the esplanade.<br />

I tried<br />

TALENTED:<br />

Asti-Loren<br />

busked her way<br />

through Europe at<br />

17-years-old.<br />

to join the school choir but got<br />

turned down in year 6, 7 and 8,<br />

because apparently I couldn’t<br />

sing in tune, but I think it was<br />

because I told my music teacher<br />

she had a moustache in front of<br />

the whole class. I told her my<br />

mum is a beauty therapist and<br />

she should go to her and I think<br />

she held that against me. It was<br />

a pretty rude thing for me to say,<br />

but I was only nine-years-old at<br />

the time, so I didn’t know any<br />

better. I was pretty upset about<br />

it so I went to the principal and<br />

told them, ‘I’m setting up my<br />

own barbershop; I’m getting my<br />

own teacher to come and teach it<br />

and I’m going to teach it as well’<br />

and I had more people auditioning<br />

for it than the school choir.<br />

I’ve always been the kind of<br />

person that, if things don’t go my<br />

way, I’m going to make it happen<br />

for myself.<br />

You attended the same music<br />

school as Amy Winehouse –<br />

how did that come about?<br />

When the February 2011<br />

earthquake happened, I was off<br />

school, our house was quite<br />

damaged and my mum<br />

lost her business as well. I<br />

watched the film Fame one<br />

day and I knew I wanted<br />

to go to stage school.<br />

So without telling my<br />

parents, I researched the<br />

best stage schools across<br />

the United States and<br />

the United Kingdom<br />

and I randomly<br />

chose one to<br />

apply for.<br />

I heard<br />

MENTOR: Asti-Loren mentoring Selwyn House Girls School<br />

children last year.<br />

back four days later from the<br />

Susi Earnshaw Theatre School<br />

with a letter of acceptance. Here’s<br />

14-year-old me going, ‘oh no,<br />

what have I done’, so I had to tell<br />

my parents and they were really<br />

supportive. I don’t know many<br />

parents who would let their<br />

14-year-old daughter go to the<br />

UK by themselves.<br />

What was it like attending the<br />

school?<br />

It was awesome. I was the first<br />

person they’d ever had from<br />

Australia/New Zealand. There<br />

was three days a week of dance,<br />

tap, jazz singing, theatre singing,<br />

pop singing, all sorts really. The<br />

teachers were great and really<br />

young, too. One of my teachers<br />

was a back-up dancer for Justin<br />

Bieber and he’d also won<br />

Britain’s Got Talent. I studied<br />

there for two years and then<br />

I got offered a development<br />

contract with a label<br />

in Soho and that’s how I met<br />

my producer Chris Hall who<br />

helped me create my album<br />

Psychedelic Rose. I got to record<br />

in the same vocal booth as Pink<br />

Floyd.<br />

How did it feel living in London<br />

by yourself as a 14-yearold?<br />

That must’ve been a pretty<br />

scary experience?<br />

It wasn’t too scary . . . but<br />

being so young and moving to<br />

another country was a bit of a<br />

culture shock. I had an apartment<br />

just down from school and<br />

I made friends really fast. There<br />

was always people I knew around<br />

me like my uncle in Sweden and<br />

my cousin came through when<br />

he was on his O.E. I wasn’t really<br />

naughty I always had so much<br />

to do. I would go to the London<br />

Central City Library and read<br />

books on Woodstock. I went<br />

to an Audrey Hepburn exhibition<br />

and I’d often go to the East<br />

London markets at the end of<br />

the day and they’d give me free<br />

donuts. They knew when I was<br />

coming and give me all this free<br />

food and I’d walk home with all<br />

my groceries.<br />

Thanks Canterbury<br />

for your continued support


PEGASUS POST Tuesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>16</strong> 20<strong>16</strong> 7<br />

the world at her feet<br />

And you travelled a bit from<br />

there?<br />

I’m really spontaneous so I<br />

decided to do a busking tour<br />

around Europe. So I contacted<br />

Interrail and Eurail to see if it<br />

was something they were interested<br />

in – they bought it. So they<br />

gave us a 12-day rail pass and we<br />

went from London to Stockholm<br />

to Copenhagen down to Warsaw<br />

in Poland and then to Prague<br />

then Munich, Salzburg, Venice,<br />

Asti, Monte Carlo, Nice and<br />

then Amsterdam all in 12 days<br />

with my best friend who’s a New<br />

Zealand windsurfer. While this<br />

was happening I was only 17. I<br />

have about 50,000 fans online so<br />

I’d post each day were I was and<br />

I’d have all these people turn up<br />

– I didn’t really expect it at all. I<br />

made about €200 (euro) busking<br />

in each city.<br />

So tell me about your<br />

music and your new album<br />

Psychedelic Rock which you<br />

recently released?<br />

The music I’ve established as<br />

my brand is more electronic.<br />

This album is influenced by<br />

the 60s and 70s Americana,<br />

Woodstock and that whole<br />

hippy movement. I love the<br />

era. I watched Jim Carroll’s The<br />

Basketball Diaries and read a<br />

novel he wrote . . . it’s really raw.<br />

This album draws a lot from that.<br />

This album is a concept album<br />

I’ve written myself. It goes from<br />

dark to light as I have this thing<br />

called synaesthesia where I see<br />

music and colour so it helps a<br />

lot with my writing, it’s a bit of<br />

a blessing. I wrote the album’s<br />

track names before I wrote the<br />

songs. I’ve written a novel to<br />

go along with the album and<br />

eventually I want to make it into<br />

a short film. People can interpret<br />

my music any way they want.<br />

They’re not pop songs – it’s a<br />

lot more than that. I don’t just<br />

sit back and let other people<br />

do things for me, I’m a really<br />

involved person in my career so<br />

I do a lot of promoting myself,<br />

I keep up my social media<br />

following and I edit my own<br />

videos.<br />

Do you have any influences<br />

that you draw on when creating<br />

your sound?<br />

I listen to Lana del Rey, The xx,<br />

Haim, Taylor Swift, Marina and<br />

the Diamonds, Fleetwood Mac,<br />

PERFORMING: Asti-Loren’s new album Psychedelic Rose was released on Saturday.<br />

The Zombies, Dire Straits and<br />

Pink Floyd – a real variety really.<br />

I’ve taken different influences<br />

from the greats of each genre and<br />

incorporated them into my work<br />

– whether it’s lyrically, musically<br />

or the way I present myself.<br />

Tell me a bit about growing<br />

up – what’s you’re family like?<br />

I grew up in a house on the top<br />

of Scarborough Hill. I went to<br />

Selwyn House and then St Andrew’s<br />

College. My mother owns<br />

a salon Yazu Hair Salon. She’s<br />

incredibly talented. She’s been<br />

on the L’Oreal creative team and<br />

a part of New Zealand Fashion<br />

Week. She was actually teaching<br />

hairdressing in Asia while<br />

she was eight months pregnant<br />

with me which was pretty crazy.<br />

She’s heavily driven . . . I think<br />

that’s where I get it from. My<br />

mum and my dad met at 15 and<br />

started the business together. He<br />

was going to be a mechanic, but<br />

he’s technically a hairdresser by<br />

trade. They separated when I was<br />

nine so he went to the Caribbean<br />

to buy a boat and sailed it<br />

back to New Zealand to set up a<br />

charter business. So, when I was<br />

younger, I grew up in a boat. I<br />

lived on it in Diamond Harbour<br />

and the Lyttelton marina. I used<br />

to go to school in a dingy. We<br />

had five dalmatian dogs and we’d<br />

be in a five-metre dingy with one<br />

of our dogs at the front and my<br />

brother and I in our posh private<br />

school uniforms. We’d sail from<br />

Diamond Harbour to Lyttelton<br />

and we’d arrive at school soaked.<br />

My little brother Lucca is <strong>16</strong> and<br />

he’s the total opposite of me. He’s<br />

blue-eyed, blonde and tall, while<br />

I’m 1.49m and brunette. We were<br />

both named after towns in Italy.<br />

He’s really into skiing, inventing<br />

and downhill mountain biking.<br />

He made a flame thrower the<br />

other day. I have a weird family.<br />

It sounds like you’ve had an<br />

insanely interesting upbringing!<br />

What else do you love<br />

outside of music?<br />

I love going to the beach and I<br />

love skiing. I did ski racing from<br />

about seven-years-old at Mt<br />

Hutt. We used to go skiing every<br />

single weekend in winter from<br />

when I was seven to 12. I did it<br />

competitively and placed third<br />

in the South Island when I was<br />

younger.<br />

Where to next for you? Where<br />

do you want to end up?<br />

I’m going to the US to film<br />

a music video for my album<br />

next month, then London for<br />

a month, Ho Chi Minh City in<br />

Vietnam after that, and then Bali<br />

all before the end of the year.<br />

Eventually I want to be able to<br />

tour with my albums. I’ve<br />

started on my second album<br />

which is going to be completely<br />

different with a different vibe. To<br />

be a musician as a full time job<br />

is the goal. I’m always aiming<br />

for the top, I’m just that kind of<br />

person. I’ve always written for<br />

bigger things because if you don’t<br />

think you’re going to be big or<br />

don’t have that in your mind,<br />

how are you ever going to get<br />

there?<br />

Keep Chch fluoride-free<br />

Former<br />

personal<br />

trainer John<br />

Verd was<br />

born in<br />

Christchurch’s<br />

sister city<br />

Seattle,<br />

United States, and moved<br />

to New Zealand in January<br />

last year. He writes this<br />

week’s opinion piece on<br />

fluoridation<br />

I love Christchurch water!<br />

It’s one of the many exceptional<br />

things we’d heard about<br />

the Garden City before moving<br />

here.<br />

So I was naturally concerned to<br />

learn about proposed changes to<br />

our water system.<br />

I discovered at an early age<br />

how location could affect water<br />

quality.<br />

When my grand-mother<br />

moved to the Cascade Mountains<br />

near Seattle, she said that the tap<br />

water there had a ”sweetness” to<br />

it.<br />

She was absolutely right - there<br />

was a huge difference between<br />

our aquifers in Spokane and her<br />

spring water in Snoqualmie.<br />

It wasn’t until much later that<br />

I paid any attention to what is<br />

actually in our water.<br />

I’d heard people protest against<br />

fluoridation, but wrote them off<br />

as paranoid conspiracy theorists.<br />

It wasn’t until becoming a<br />

personal trainer that I actually<br />

questioned the practice.<br />

The research was eye opening.<br />

Our water is being treated<br />

with an industrial waste product<br />

called hydrofluorosilicic acid.<br />

This chemical is a by-product<br />

of the phosphate fertiliser industry.<br />

Although classified as hazardous<br />

waste, it is barrelled up and<br />

sold, unrefined, to communities<br />

across the country.<br />

This is the fluoride in public<br />

water.<br />

Former vice president and<br />

senior chemist at the United<br />

States Environmental Protection<br />

Agency headquarters, Dr William<br />

Hirzy, had this to say about<br />

it:<br />

“If this stuff gets out into the<br />

air, it’s a pollutant; if it gets into<br />

the river, it’s a pollutant; if it gets<br />

into the lake, it’s a pollutant;<br />

but if it goes straight into your<br />

drinking water system, it’s not a<br />

pollutant. That’s amazing.”<br />

Hydrofluorosilicic acid is far<br />

different from the sodium fluoride,<br />

which is not for ingestion,<br />

commonly used in toothpaste.<br />

This begs the question: Why<br />

would they use this dangerous<br />

form of fluoride? A likely reason<br />

is cost.<br />

Because it costs corporations<br />

many thousands of dollars per<br />

tonne to neutralise and dispose<br />

of it, they instead sell it to municipalities<br />

as a ‘product’.<br />

Chemist and world-renowned<br />

fluoride researcher Dr Paul Connett<br />

lectured in Christchurch in<br />

July 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

He listed 50 human studies<br />

finding that elevated fluoride exposure<br />

is associated with reduced<br />

IQ.<br />

Christchurch has managed to<br />

remain fluoride free for the last<br />

30 years, but new legislation may<br />

allow for fluoridation by 2018<br />

unless the public demands a<br />

place at the table in this decision.<br />

And that’s what is keeping me<br />

up at night.<br />

Do you, like John Verd, stay<br />

awake at night worried<br />

about fluoridation? Should<br />

we allow fluoridation of our<br />

water? Share your views<br />

FLAME FILES<br />

Give yourself the best<br />

chance of escape<br />

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />

Management Officer<br />

BY RECENT standards the past<br />

week has been remarkably quiet.<br />

We’ve still been to plenty of<br />

false alarms, ambulance assistance<br />

calls and car crashes but<br />

fires, apart from the inevitable<br />

kitchen cooking fires (two this<br />

week), have been few in number.<br />

So let’s have a look at those<br />

things that can make our lives<br />

safer from fire that are easy to<br />

arrange in any home.<br />

Firstly, and by far most importantly,<br />

is the use of smoke<br />

alarms.<br />

I grew up in the days before<br />

widespread plastics and foams.<br />

So when I was a kid it took<br />

about 10min for any fire inside<br />

a house to go from ignition to<br />

flashover (the state where the<br />

entire contents of a room are on<br />

fire).<br />

Now, with the proliferation<br />

of oil-based products (those<br />

plastics and foams) in homes the<br />

time to flashover is reduced to<br />

3min.<br />

That’s where smoke alarms,<br />

recommended in every bedroom,<br />

hallway and living room,<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

are vital to give us the earliest<br />

possible warning of fire so we<br />

can escape well before that 3min<br />

is up.<br />

Because if you don’t, you’re<br />

probably in real trouble.<br />

After your own escape, making<br />

sure everyone else in the<br />

house is aware, is the first priority<br />

before having a meeting place<br />

where all can be accounted for,<br />

and phoning 111 by cellphone or<br />

neighbour’s landline.<br />

Along with smoke alarms<br />

these are the basics of a home<br />

escape plan.<br />

If we all had one I’d investigate<br />

far fewer fatal fires.<br />

That would be fantastic!<br />

Old league club dumping ground<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

THE HEAD of a sheep<br />

and household waste has<br />

been cleared away from the<br />

back of the former Linwood<br />

rugby league clubrooms in<br />

Phillipstown.<br />

The building, located between<br />

Olliviers Rd and Matheson Rd,<br />

has been empty since the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake and has<br />

been a dumping ground creating<br />

what residents say, is a health<br />

risk to surrounding properties.<br />

Linwood rugby league spokesman<br />

Mike O’Halloran said he<br />

was disgusted to find the huge<br />

amount of rubbish at the former<br />

clubrooms.<br />

“I organised someone to come<br />

and take the rubbish away,” he<br />

said.<br />

A local YMCA group dragged<br />

most of the rubbish into a big<br />

pile before it was taken away last<br />

week.<br />

While a lot of the rubbish<br />

has been removed a resident<br />

said there was still a lot more<br />

buried in the shrubs and bushes<br />

that surround the back car park<br />

– a badly damaged boat is still<br />

in the middle of the car park<br />

also.<br />

It is that rubbish, he believes,<br />

is attracting rats and mice whose<br />

populations were growing to<br />

“plague-like levels.”<br />

City council principal adviser<br />

of regulatory compliance Fiona<br />

Proudfoot said it is currently investigating<br />

a complaint about the<br />

property from June in relation to<br />

the pest problem.<br />

“The council does investigate<br />

and take action where necessary<br />

in situations where rubbish has<br />

been dumped that may attract or<br />

harbour vermin,” she said.<br />

However, because the property<br />

is in private ownership she said it<br />

is the owners who are responsible<br />

for the property.<br />

Linwood league sold the<br />

property to an investor with the<br />

finalisation of that deal expected<br />

in the next few weeks.<br />

GETTING MECHANICAL<br />

UPGRADE: The Shirley Hawks clubrooms are set for an upgrade following a $10,000 win ​<br />

League club gets funds for upgrade<br />

A GROUNDSWELL of<br />

support from the local<br />

community has helped the<br />

Shirley Hawks Rugby League<br />

Club win a $10,000 cash<br />

injection to fix up their club.<br />

The Woodstock Rugby League<br />

Club fix-up competition asked<br />

league fans to nominate their<br />

local club via Facebook with a<br />

short description on why they<br />

deserved an upgrade.<br />

Shirley was the Canterbury<br />

recipient of the national competition.<br />

Club supporter Kim<br />

McDiarmid was one of the<br />

first to nominate the Hawks,<br />

describing the club as going<br />

above and beyond for their<br />

players and fans.<br />

Home to five children’s<br />

teams, three senior teams and<br />

a women’s team, club manager<br />

Bernie Katene says the Shirley<br />

Hawks are not the largest rugby<br />

league club in the area, but the<br />

players and supporters have a lot<br />

of heart and the club want to do<br />

right by them.<br />

The club plans to use the winning<br />

funds to upgrade the club<br />

building, including the<br />

bar, which had been neglected<br />

in favour of other improvements.<br />

“It’s a big ask for funding<br />

to upgrade the bar, because<br />

there’s always something else<br />

that needs to be done,” Mr<br />

Katene said.<br />

As a community-focused club,<br />

having attractive clubrooms is<br />

important.<br />

“We rely on the community to<br />

survive. Having a decent place<br />

to gather and socialise keeps<br />

interest in the team and in our<br />

events,” MrKatene said.<br />

FIGURING IT OUT: Shirley Intermediate students Alicia McLean<br />

(left) and Jayda Thurston demonstrate what they have learned<br />

so far in their ‘how things work’ lessons. Students have been<br />

learning about levers as part of their introduction to structures<br />

and mechanisms, demonstrating how the pivot position<br />

changes the value of effort or movement. They investigated a<br />

wide range of machines and mechanisms which complements<br />

their technology classes starting with the levers and pivot<br />

puppets shown here. The students progress from this work<br />

to making an automata and investigating pneumatics. An<br />

automata is like a mechanical toy which can be animated<br />

through the use of cams and linkages.<br />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | AUGUST 20<strong>16</strong><br />

The changing shape of EQC<br />

The Earthquake Commission’s work in<br />

Canterbury is entering a new phase as<br />

it settles the final earthquake claims for<br />

the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, says<br />

EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson.<br />

“Over the past few months we’ve been<br />

looking closely at what remains to be<br />

done and we will be carefully matching<br />

the workforce to the work that still needs<br />

completing.<br />

As part of this, EQC has developed a<br />

proposal on how EQC will be organised in<br />

2017 to implement its work in Canterbury,<br />

while continuing its national work.”<br />

EQC began consultation with its staff<br />

this week on a proposed smaller structure<br />

for 2017.<br />

“As we make changes over the next few<br />

months, one thing isn’t changing: we will<br />

retain a presence in Canterbury until we<br />

have met our obligations to our customers.<br />

The proposal is for an organisation with<br />

383 positions from January 2017,” Mr<br />

Simpson said.<br />

The proposals for the new structure impact<br />

the 868 EQC people on fixed term<br />

employment agreements to December<br />

20<strong>16</strong> or on contracts for service.<br />

Mr Simpson says the reduction in staff<br />

numbers had been signalled to staff earlier<br />

this year, with more detail given<br />

at EQC staff update sessions in July.<br />

He was grateful for the professionalism<br />

of EQC staff; continuing to achieve key<br />

milestones for Canterbury customers<br />

during a time of change and personal<br />

challenge.<br />

By the end of the year, EQC’s target<br />

is to have:<br />

• completed all of the approximately<br />

67,900 managed home repairs.<br />

• settled all of the approximately 99,000<br />

residential building claims scheduled for<br />

first-time cash settlements.<br />

• settled all of the more than 187,000<br />

contents claims.<br />

• settled green zone land claims for about<br />

73,000 properties.<br />

• resolved 75% of the remedial requests<br />

we had on our books as at 30 June 20<strong>16</strong><br />

• cash settled 90% of the 3,118 drainage<br />

claims we had received by 30 June<br />

20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

• cash settled the 13,985 damage claims<br />

received following the series of quakes<br />

in Canterbury between February and<br />

June 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

Mr Simpson says that what remains to be<br />

done in 2017,is to continue resolving<br />

remedial requests on properties where<br />

EQC has managed a repair, and continue<br />

resolving drainage enquiries.<br />

“The level of work left is of a much smaller<br />

scale than the Canterbury Home Repair<br />

Programme was designed for. We need<br />

a smaller, fit-for-purpose approach to finish<br />

the work,” Mr Simpson said.<br />

“By 2017 we will have a new approach for<br />

handling the remaining work, including<br />

remedial requests. We’re working on the<br />

details of this now, including talking to<br />

Fletcher EQR. We hope we will have a<br />

clearer picture around September,”<br />

Mr Simpson said.<br />

As at 31 July 20<strong>16</strong>:<br />

• there were 238 substantive repairs left,<br />

which we aim to have resolved by the<br />

end of the year.<br />

• there were 335 secondary repairs (such<br />

as garages and chimneys) to do.<br />

There is also a range of administrative and<br />

financial tasks to be completed.<br />

“I know it has not been an easy journey for<br />

some EQC Canterbury customers. We<br />

didn’t get everything right. I’m the first to<br />

admit that. But EQC has worked hard to<br />

learn from its mistakes and improve how<br />

we work not just for Canterbury, but for all<br />

New Zealand,” Mr Simpson said.<br />

Outside of Canterbury, EQC needs to be<br />

ready to respond to any future event and<br />

continues negotiating and managing<br />

natural disaster reinsurance for the country.<br />

EQC will also continue settling the 5,000<br />

to 8,000 natural disaster claims it receives<br />

on average every year, funding research to<br />

a tune of about $<strong>16</strong> million annually, and<br />

educating the public about natural hazards<br />

and how to mitigate these.<br />

Remedial requests<br />

EQC has streamlined its process for handling new<br />

remedial requests from customers received from<br />

1 <strong>August</strong>, 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

EQC Chief Executive, Ian Simpson, says the new process<br />

aims for faster resolution with customers having the<br />

opportunity to provide information upfront and state their<br />

preference for a cash settlement or a managed repair<br />

where remedial work is required.<br />

The changes have been introduced after positive<br />

customer feedback on the process used to manage claims<br />

from the February 20<strong>16</strong> earthquake, where customers had<br />

the opportunity to submit more information upfront to<br />

enable quicker turnaround.<br />

Many customers going through the February 20<strong>16</strong> claims<br />

management process are positive or very positive about<br />

their experience. EQC is now using this approach for new<br />

remedial requests, and customers will be asked to send in<br />

information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.<br />

Although cash settlement will provide a quicker<br />

resolution, it may not suit everyone, Mr Simpson says.<br />

“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work,<br />

then EQC will arrange for that to happen. But EQC’s<br />

Community Contact Team and independent customer<br />

advocate groups will be available to support any cashsettled<br />

customers who aren’t confident in sourcing their<br />

own contractors,” he says.<br />

Of the 5,720 open remedial requests, EQC has identified<br />

approximately 1,500 properties that cannot be resolved<br />

through a managed repair before 2017. The new process,<br />

while largely designed for new remedial requests, will be<br />

available to these customers and EQC will be making<br />

contact with them from late <strong>August</strong> to ask if they prefer a<br />

cash settlement or managed repair during 2017.<br />

Customers wanting to discuss remedial requests can<br />

contact EQC by phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243) or email<br />

info@eqc.govt.nz<br />

Drainage<br />

As at June 30 20<strong>16</strong>, EQC had 3,118 drainage damage<br />

enquiries to be resolved. To ensure timely settlement of<br />

these claims, EQC has introduced a panel of licenced<br />

drain layers to identify earthquake damage.<br />

On settlement, customers get a detailed assessment of<br />

the earthquake damage, a documented repair strategy,<br />

and the costing for the repair. EQC expects to resolve<br />

90% of the drainage claims, lodged by 30 June, in 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />

EQC is concentrating on resolving as many drainage<br />

claims as possible that were received by June, this year.<br />

The claims received after that date will be resolved<br />

next year.<br />

SBHS marches back into final<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School<br />

will make their second UC<br />

Championship grand final<br />

appearance in as many year’s<br />

after a 17-14 win over Christ’s<br />

College at Upper.<br />

They will meet Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High School in Saturday’s<br />

final at Rugby Park, CBHS defeated<br />

Nelson College 10-3 in the<br />

other semi-final.<br />

Shirley have made a habit of<br />

pulling off upsets in knockout<br />

games. It’s the second year in a<br />

row they have qualified for the<br />

semi-finals in fourth position<br />

and defeated the competition’s<br />

top qualifier. Last year they<br />

upset CBHS 25-17 at the same<br />

stage.<br />

“Last year was our first grand<br />

final appearance in 12 years, I’m<br />

just pleased it hasn’t taken another<br />

12 years to get back there,”<br />

said Shirley Boys’ High School<br />

rugby administrator John Fox.<br />

On a heavy field the big<br />

Shirley forwards revelled early.<br />

In a polished and aggressive<br />

opening Shirley scored two converted<br />

tries to take a 14-0 lead.<br />

Tighthead prop Darius Fidow<br />

barged over in the third minute,<br />

loosehead Jim Tuipulotu then got<br />

Shirley’s second less than 10min<br />

later.<br />

“We were quietly confident<br />

about Saturday. Knowing the<br />

weather wasn’t going to be great<br />

we picked a big forward pack to<br />

try and bully them a bit. The<br />

fact our two props got the tries<br />

was vindication of that,” said<br />

Fox.<br />

Christ’s got back into the game<br />

before half-time through two<br />

Ngani Punivai penalties. The gap<br />

was narrowed even further on<br />

the stroke of 30min when Dallas<br />

McLeod ripped the ball from a<br />

maul on the Shirley 22, before<br />

crossing the line to make it 11-14.<br />

In the 62nd-minute Jackson<br />

Taylor kicked a penalty from<br />

25m out to nudge Shirley ahead,<br />

a lead they would hang onto by<br />

the skin of their teeth. Christ’s<br />

College thought they had crossed<br />

the line to steal a win on the<br />

stroke of full-time, but they were<br />

denied by the video referee after<br />

five minutes of deliberation.<br />

“It’s a mixed feeling because<br />

we don’t have a TMO (video<br />

referee) every game of the season.<br />

It’s almost unfair to have a TMO<br />

decide the game when all season<br />

long it’s been the ref making the<br />

call,” said Fox.<br />

The decision went their way,<br />

but Shirley will now turn attention<br />

to a CBHS side they<br />

narrowly lost to just over a week<br />

ago, 13-19.<br />

“Our guys have a lot of belief,<br />

they felt that one got away from<br />

them,” says Fox.<br />

Shirley will be hope to have<br />

more luck than 12 months ago<br />

when they lost to St Bede’s 13-32<br />

in the grand final.<br />

A large chunk of this year’s<br />

squad were part of that match.<br />

Fox believes that having a dozen<br />

players that have experienced a<br />

grand final could give them the<br />

slight edge they need.<br />

They’ll need every bit of an<br />

advantage they can get against<br />

CBHS after an impressive match<br />

against Nelson in the rain.<br />

ONE STEP AWAY: Shirley will<br />

meet Christchurch BHS in<br />

Saturday’s UC Championship<br />

final. The two teams met<br />

earlier in the month, CBHS<br />

ACHIEVERS<br />

Improvisation earns<br />

chef gold title<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

BLAKE HAINES of Richmond<br />

beat chefs from around the<br />

country to take the National<br />

Commis Chef of the Year title<br />

this month, in spite of missing a<br />

crucial ingredient.<br />

The young chef, who works at<br />

Chillingworth Road restaurant<br />

in Redwood, was setting out his<br />

equipment and ingredients at<br />

the competition in Auckland<br />

when he realised his salt was<br />

missing.<br />

In the rush to catch his<br />

flight from Christchurch at<br />

5am that morning he had left it<br />

sitting on the bench at home, he<br />

said.<br />

The chefs competing<br />

had to bring all their own<br />

equipment and ingredients<br />

to the competition from their<br />

seasonings to their pots and<br />

pans – which made for some<br />

funny looks when going<br />

through bag checks at the<br />

airport, he said.<br />

It was too late to buy any<br />

more, so he just had to work<br />

with what he had.<br />

But he went on to win gold<br />

for his main, an Akaroa Salmon<br />

duo half pan-fried and half<br />

wrapped in nori seaweed, and<br />

cooked in plenty of chicken<br />

stock to make up for the missing<br />

seasoning.<br />

Fellow Chillingworth Road<br />

chef Eric Lim also took home a<br />

gold award from the competition<br />

for his entree, and was<br />

named runner up Chef of the<br />

Year.<br />

Winning a national title was<br />

incredibly satisfying, Mr Haines<br />

said.<br />

He had dreamed of becoming<br />

a chef since he was about eight<br />

years old, cooking meals for<br />

his family – then things like<br />

spaghetti bolognese or chocolate<br />

chip biscuits, he said.<br />

“My family were good critics,<br />

although my mum never appreciated<br />

the mess in the kitchen,”<br />

he said.<br />

At about 14 he got an afterschool<br />

job washing dishes for a<br />

local restaurant, and from there<br />

he was hooked, he said.<br />

He worked for a while in<br />

Dunedin and at the Hermitage<br />

Hotel at Mount Cook, before<br />

moving to Christchurch with<br />

his girlfriend early this year.<br />

He knew Chillingworth Road<br />

owner and chef Darren Wright<br />

through his work on the Culinary<br />

Olympics NZ squad, and<br />

said he wanted the chance to<br />

work with him.<br />

His main role at the restaurant<br />

is as pastry chef, which he said<br />

was something he had always<br />

enjoyed.<br />

“For customers the first thing<br />

they try is the bread and the last<br />

is the dessert, so it either ruins<br />

or makes someone’s evening.<br />

Hopefully, they are the two<br />

things they remember most,” he<br />

said.<br />

After seeing Blake’s work<br />

in the competitions, Olympic<br />

squad member and<br />

Christchurch chef Mark<br />

Sycamore asked him to travel to<br />

Greece with him in September<br />

this year to compete at the<br />

WACS WorldChefs Congress as<br />

his commis chef.<br />

A NEW Cares Appliances<br />

premises in Ferrymead<br />

has attracted a number of<br />

complaints from residents<br />

over its bright green colour<br />

scheme.<br />

The whiteware appliance<br />

store has copped criticism<br />

before their new building<br />

has even opened on Ferry<br />

Rd.<br />

It is set to open in early<br />

September.<br />

Cares Appliances owner<br />

Matthew Carpenter said it<br />

was the first time he had<br />

received complaints, in<br />

spite of his business being<br />

in the city for 10 years.<br />

“I had a complaint that<br />

said the colour was terrible<br />

and disgusting. I’ve also<br />

had comments from third<br />

parties who’d seen the<br />

colour and were put off by<br />

it,” Mr Carpenter said.<br />

The new premises drew<br />

the following criticism via<br />

text:<br />

“It looks disgusting.<br />

Contributes nothing to<br />

whiteware warehouse<br />

Ferrymead. You won’t get<br />

any support bringing that<br />

here . . . sorry! Already the<br />

talk of the community. Just<br />

so you know . . . perhaps a<br />

re-think? It might work at<br />

Eastgate.”<br />

Mr Carpenter is welcoming<br />

whiteware<br />

feedback<br />

warehouse<br />

from residents<br />

about the premises<br />

but he said it was unfair<br />

to insult other parts of the<br />

city.<br />

“It’s cruel of them<br />

patronise and disparage<br />

the people of the eastern<br />

side but obviously someone’s<br />

got a bit of an elitist<br />

mindset going on,” Mr<br />

Carpenter said.<br />

world’s best value whiteware!<br />

STANDING OUT: An artist’s impression of what<br />

Cares Appliances will look like when it opens.<br />

BY JASON LENNIE ​<br />

Mr Carpenter offered<br />

the complainant a discount<br />

of 30 per cent out of goodwill.<br />

Ferrymead residents<br />

have been successful in<br />

ousting a brightly coloured<br />

business from the area<br />

before.<br />

In 2007 the Mitre 10<br />

Mega in Ferrymead building<br />

attracted complaints<br />

for featuring a <strong>16</strong>0m-long<br />

bright orange wall that<br />

overlooked the conservation<br />

wetland.<br />

The company eventually<br />

agreed to repaint the wall<br />

silvery-white after residents<br />

threatened a boycott.<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<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 />

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 course best suited to your needs, ask<br />

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />

it is located.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

A game changer in the fight<br />

against Parkinson’s Disease<br />

If you have Parkinson’s disease, you cannot<br />

afford to underestimate the benefits of<br />

exercise. Being sedentary is one of the fastest<br />

ways to see your symptoms get worse. To be<br />

the best you can be, consider a revolutionary<br />

Parkinson’s programme, PD Warrior, run by<br />

Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />

“Exercise needs to be a front line defence<br />

for people with Parkinson’s disease. PD<br />

Warrior aims to re-wire the brain to allow<br />

everyday movements and activities to be<br />

performed with greater ease. Just like your<br />

muscles benefit from cross- training, your<br />

brain also benefits from being challenged and<br />

surprised.” Melissa McConaghy, co-founder<br />

of PD Warrior and Specialist Neurological<br />

Physiotherapist.<br />

Purposeful movement can combat the loss<br />

of motor control seen in Parkinson’s disease.<br />

PD Warrior combines a high effort, intensive<br />

work-out with a challenging combination<br />

of movements and mental strategy. It is<br />

designed for people with early stage or mild<br />

Parkinson’s disease with the aim of slowing<br />

down the progress of the disease.<br />

“PD Warrior is loads of fun and can get<br />

very loud with plenty of variety to keep<br />

people engaged. you get to connect with<br />

like-minded people who want to fight their<br />

symptoms,” says Laurie Moore, Director of<br />

Muscle People Physiotherapy.<br />

Neil, from Rangiora, has been attending<br />

the PD Warrior programme and says; “The<br />

exaggerated movement keeps the body<br />

moving rather than seizing up”. Neil keeps<br />

up the exercises at home during the week and<br />

says “that’s how you get the most benefit out<br />

of it.” He has been playing more golf and is<br />

able to work a couple of days a week.<br />

Muscle People has helped clients achieve<br />

some significant milestones through PD<br />

Warrior. Those who come to the PD Warrior<br />

circuit style programme at the city clinic each<br />

week report feeling more confident in their<br />

movements and are able to move more freely<br />

and get back into life.<br />

The first step in the PD Warrior<br />

programme is an assessment at Muscle<br />

People Physiotherapy. for more information<br />

or to book your assessment telephone the<br />

friendly team at Muscle People on<br />

360 3606.”<br />

PD Warrior not only re-trains your<br />

brain, it also helps you to get -<br />

• Your life back – get back to doing<br />

the things you love.<br />

• Stronger and healthier, so you feel<br />

better about yourself.<br />

• More comfortable doing several<br />

things at one time.<br />

• Better balance... prevent<br />

dangerous accidents and falls.<br />

• Able to do all the little things that<br />

you have recently abandoned.<br />

Parkinson’s -<br />

• Parkinson’s is a progressive<br />

neurodegenerative condition<br />

which effects the part of the brain<br />

responsible for initiating and coordinating<br />

movement.<br />

• Approximately 1 in 500 people<br />

have the condition.<br />

• Twenty percent of people affected<br />

by Parkinson’s are of working age<br />

(15-64 years).<br />

PD Warrior -<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

• Uses a unique combination of<br />

physical and cognitive activities to<br />

drive the brain’s natural ability to<br />

re-wire itself.<br />

• PD Warrior retrains the brain<br />

and helps people feel stronger and<br />

fitter.<br />

• Muscle People Physiotherapy run<br />

the PD Warrior each week with a<br />

group of 10 people.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Get rid of dampness<br />

in your house<br />

noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on<br />

its way, home owners are focusing on ways to<br />

make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy<br />

for their families throughout winter. rISIng<br />

DAMP is an issue that affects many of our<br />

older properties which suffer from poor, or no,<br />

insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake,<br />

many people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />

from rising damp which can be associated with<br />

health problems. Independent tests have shown<br />

that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the<br />

ground and enter a house every day, leading to<br />

mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells.<br />

Moulds can produce various allergic reactions<br />

and the frail, elderly and very young are especially<br />

vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally<br />

owned and operated firm. The team understands<br />

the problems caused by rising damp and are<br />

there to help. They will come to your damp home<br />

and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete<br />

under your timber floored home. Specially<br />

adapted for our new Zealand conditions and<br />

applications it provides a layer of protection<br />

against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit<br />

that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />

have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />

of properties which had underfloor foam<br />

concrete installed, reported that it also provided<br />

protection against liquefaction after<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

To enSure the quality of your air, contact<br />

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<br />

the required air exchange for your building<br />

requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />

ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />

for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />

markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />

and ventilation components in-store but they<br />

can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />

differing requirements.<br />

VenTILATIon<br />

This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />

outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />

building. It is one of the most important factors<br />

for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />

buildings.<br />

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />

and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />

environment in which to live and work. In case<br />

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />

the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />

dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />

is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />

smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />

removed.<br />

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />

stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />

drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />

high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />

harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />

bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />

nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />

windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />

approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />

trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />

decline.<br />

It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />

air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Tackle the skifield road in an Alltrack<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

STAR MEDIA, the company<br />

which I am employed by,<br />

embraces advertising creativity.<br />

We strive for layout and design<br />

which captures reader and viewer<br />

interest. That being the case, I<br />

was mystified when Volkswagen<br />

New Zealand’s recent television<br />

advertising campaign was<br />

withdrawn when some viewers<br />

complained to the Broadcasting<br />

Standards Authority.<br />

The commercial surrounded<br />

Volkswagen’s Passat Alltrack, and<br />

was a light-hearted take involving<br />

a person falling over backwards<br />

on a slippery boat launching<br />

ramp. That ad often had me<br />

smiling when I was preparing<br />

dinner and watching the news. I<br />

was disappointed – world gone<br />

mad – I thought.<br />

That aside, the Alltrack is an<br />

interesting variation on the popular<br />

mid-size wagon and as its<br />

name suggests it has four-wheeldrive<br />

and suspension raised<br />

27mm from the standard Passat.<br />

Volkswagen is no stranger to<br />

this concept, they have long had<br />

models which have just that little<br />

bit extra in terms of ability. The<br />

Alltrack is a cross between an<br />

everyday vehicle and one which<br />

will take you off-road, not so<br />

much in the serious stuff, but it<br />

will get you out of a sticky, low<br />

grip situation, hence the advertisement.<br />

And on that subject, it<br />

also gets a 2.2-tonne tow rating,<br />

so hauling that large boat is a<br />

real probability.<br />

Under the bonnet sits a 2-litre,<br />

turbocharged diesel engine. The<br />

four-cylinder, twin camshaft unit<br />

is rated with 150kW and 400Nm,<br />

the latter punching out its power<br />

all of the way from 1900rpm<br />

to 3300rpm; consequently, it is<br />

a strong, energetic unit which<br />

works through a dual clutch,<br />

direct shift gearbox.<br />

The six-speeder allows the<br />

engine to work freely, between<br />

the two, drive is unimpeded,<br />

the mid-range diesel surge is<br />

evident. Unladen, the Passat<br />

Alltrack will scamper to<br />

100km/h from a standstill in<br />

8sec, and will launch to 120km/h<br />

from 80km/h in 5sec, the turbo<br />

boost offering vivid acceleration.<br />

And that is the beauty with<br />

the big four-cylinder diesels,<br />

there is a lot of grunt on offer,<br />

and it’s no wonder Volkswagen<br />

are confident of high tow<br />

capacity.<br />

Perhaps the most exciting figures<br />

are those of its fuel usage.<br />

Volkswagen claim a 5.2-litre per<br />

100km/h (54mpg) combined<br />

cycle average, that sits well with<br />

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ALLTRACK: Grip for slippery surfaces.<br />

the 6.6l/100km (43mpg) figure<br />

showing constantly on the dash<br />

panel readout. At 100km/h the<br />

engine sips fuel at the rate of an<br />

amazing 4l/100km (70mpg) with<br />

the engine turning over slowly at<br />

just 1700rpm.<br />

These results are extraordinary<br />

for a big vehicle and certainly<br />

serve to prove how effective diesel<br />

engine manufacturers have<br />

become in terms of efficiency.<br />

I took the test car on the twists<br />

and turns of the Port Hills. It<br />

was only a few weeks ago that I<br />

evaluated the standard Passat,<br />

and was keen to find out if the<br />

extra ride height affected the<br />

Alltrack’s handling ability. I can<br />

report there’s is little noticeable<br />

difference, grip is well promoted<br />

through Continental sport tyres<br />

(245/45 x 18in), while steerage<br />

and body balance are accurate<br />

and controlled respectively.<br />

Of course the suspension<br />

is fully independent and<br />

there is a lot of travel within<br />

those elements; that being the<br />

case, bumps and ruts are well<br />

absorbed and ride comfort has<br />

been given high priority.<br />

I didn’t take the Alltrack offroad<br />

as such, but I did take it<br />

through a short cross-country<br />

track in an endeavour to get<br />

some photos. The suspension<br />

absorbs the uneven surfaces<br />

beautifully, and wheel-to-ground<br />

contact is manufactured so that<br />

• Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km<br />

utmost traction is gleaned.<br />

I can see the Alltrack being<br />

used as winter sport recreational<br />

transport such as tackling the<br />

skifield access road. It’s a vehicle<br />

that does all the things a typical<br />

sport utility vehicle is capable of,<br />

yet it is packaged in a more traditional<br />

style.<br />

The entire in-cabin area is<br />

manufactured for comfort and is<br />

decked out with all the features<br />

you’d expect from a $57,990 car.<br />

I’ve long embraced the<br />

traditional station wagon,<br />

especially those from Europe.<br />

The Alltrack takes that concept<br />

one step forward and I’m pleased<br />

that it has such a strong foothold<br />

globally (no pun intended). I’ll<br />

be watching with interest how<br />

well it is received here.<br />

replacement engine or body panels, or it just<br />

Topic is death<br />

Local musician, Dizzy Height is proud to<br />

announce the completion of his latest<br />

recording, Passing Shadows.<br />

“It's safe to say that this album is very,<br />

very different and deals with a topic not<br />

many are game to talk about let alone record<br />

an album about, and that is the subject of<br />

death,” says Dizzy Height. “Having worked<br />

as an Embalmer/Funeral Director for 9<br />

years I have seen a lot of death. The<br />

inspiration for the album is based on my<br />

many experiences.”<br />

Consisting of nine tracks, the recording is<br />

said to be a very thought provoking and<br />

inspiring CD.<br />

Written, performed, and produced by<br />

Dizzy Height, the tracks feature a unique<br />

blend of classically inspired pieces infused<br />

with traditional rock guitar.<br />

From the opening title track 'Passing<br />

Shadows' to the final track 'After Life' the<br />

album has a positive theme which<br />

encompasses all the things that most people<br />

have thought about at some stage.<br />
