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 />

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 />

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 />

• Performance –<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 />

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 />
