• By Gabrielle Stuart 

TWO MONTHS after the failed 

tsunami evacuation, work is 

beginning on a plan for South 

Brighton residents which could 

help them get out faster. 

Civil Defence and Te Waka 

Aroha South Brighton are working 

together on a community 

evacuation plan, which would 

cover things like evacuation 

routes and organise help for 

vulnerable residents. 

They plan to hold a community 

meeting in several weeks to 

discuss the proposal. 

But other residents’ groups 

in New Brighton, North New 

Brighton and Waimairi have yet 

to be contacted by Civil Defence. 

And the Pegasus Post can 

reveal confusion between groups 

in the South Brighton area has 

meant other work developing 

community plans has stalled. 

The South Brighton Residents’ 

Association has been working 

with the South Brighton Surf 

Lifesaving Club to co-ordinate 

a network of volunteers to help 

in an emergency, and has also 

been distributing information to 

residents in the area. 

But that work has been put on 

hold because they did not have 

information from Civil Defence. 

City council Civil Defence 

UNDER WAY: A plan for improving the tsunami evacuation process in South Brighton is under 

way, but residents in other areas along the Brighton coast are still waiting. 

head Alicia Palmer said she 

had not received any messages 

directly from the residents’ association. 

“Our understanding is that 

Te Waka Aroha South Brighton 

and the Southshore Residents 

Association are working closely 

together,” she said. 

But South Brighton Residents’ 

Association chairman Hugo 

Kristinsson said that was not the 

case. 


founder Jane Harrison was a 

former member of the residents’ 

group, but he said there had 

been very little communication 

between the groups since she left 

three years ago. 

“I cannot understand why she 

is actually getting involved with 

this, because she specifically said 

she doesn’t want to get involved 

with any earthquake issues,” he 

said.

He said tsunami response information 

should come from the 

association, to avoid confusion 

and mixed messages. 

But Ms Harrison said she was 

happy to work with the residents’ 

association and share information 

she received from Civil 

Defence. 

She said they planned to 

focus on different aspects of an 

evacuation plan, co-ordinating 

community meetings and working 

with individuals, while the 

residents’ association focused on 

distributing information. 

Mr Kristinsson said he 

believed that would still create 

confusion. 

In other areas around Brighton, 

other groups are also still 

waiting for information. 

New Brighton resident Susie 

Bragg said she planned to hold a 

residents’ meeting more than a 

month ago to discuss the failed 

evacuation and how to improve it. 

But that meeting had to be 

cancelled, because she couldn’t 

get information from Civil Defence 

staff at the city council. 

“We couldn’t get answers from 

council, and if we didn’t have 

that information there wasn’t 

any point,” she said. 

She plans to co-ordinate with 


to use the information they get 

from Civil Defence.

PEGASUS POST 

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News............................3, 5 & 9 

MORE DRAMA on the tsunami 

front. 

Weeks after the Pegasus Post and 

The Star highlighted the lack of a 

plan by Civil Defence to get people 

to safety in the event of a close 

off-shore earthquake, there’s more 

trouble at t’mill. 

Civil Defence is now talking to 

South Brighton residents about 

a plan, but as our page 1 article 

highlights there’s discord between 

the different residents’ groups in 

the area. To be fair that’s not Civil 

Defence’s fault; some of the groups 

don’t appear to be on talking terms 

with each other. 

So, guys call a meeting to get 

everyone together, and get on with 

it. 

And Civil Defence: Don’t forget 

about the people north of South 

Brighton. When one of those giant 

faults in Pegasus Bay breaks, 

they’ll need to get away too.

Plan to beat arsonists, vandals 

• By Andrew King 

FIRE SERVICE and education 

bosses are working together to 

prevent vacant schools from 

being the target of arsonists. 

The campaign is aimed at 

removing things such as rubbish 

bins, outside furniture and other 

combustibles from school sites 

that opportunist arsonists use to 

set fires. 

There are 25 schools citywide, 

that have either been earmarked 

for disposal, further education 

purposes or community use 

as part of the $1.137 billion 

Christchurch Schools Rebuild 

Programme. 

Fire Service’s 

Bruce Irvine 

(left) said they 

are working with 

the Ministry of 

Education over a 

prevention plan. 

“We have been looking around 

the schools for things like 

rubbish bins not being stored 

away correctly, outside furniture 

not pushed against buildings, 

that sort of thing to try limit the 

amount of opportunity,” he 

said. 

Ministry of Education head of 

education infrastructure service 

Kim Shannon said all schools 

are vulnerable over summer 

TARGETS: Wainoni School (above) and Aranui High now have extra security after both were 

vandalised recently. 

because they are generally 

unoccupied. 

“It’s an unfortunate fact 

that all schools are potential 

targets for arson and vandalism, 

particularly during the summer 

months when the buildings 

aren’t in use,” she said. 

Aranui High and Wainoni 

schools now have extra security 

after both were vandalised 

recently. 

Aranui High was hit just 

a week after it closed down 

for good last month. A 

number of windows were 

smashed, buildings tagged and 

construction equipment on-site 

was vandalised and tagged. 

Wainoni was hit by vandals 

this month. It also had a number 

of windows smashed, some of 

which have since been boarded 

over. 

Mr Irvine said the unoccupied 

schools were “pretty high risk” 

when it came to fires. 

He said Aranui High School 

was lucky to not have a fire 

during the recent attack. 

Funding can be allocated to 

schools to repair buildings that 

have been deliberately set on fire, 

provided the damage is under 

$2500. 

The MoE has a funding 

programme, backed by private 

sector insurance, to pay for 

repairs to school buildings 

damaged in a fire or natural 

disaster. 

Buildings will be covered for 

loss or damage costing more 

than $2500 to repair and that 

meets the criteria. 

In Brief 

SHED FIRE 

A car and shed were severely 

damaged by fire, in Linwood, on 

Monday morning. Two crews 

from the Central Fire Station 

were called to Woodham Rd at 

about 2am to battle the blaze 

described as well involved when 

they arrived. It was extinguished 

within 30min. A Fire Service 

spokesman said it was not 

deemed suspicious. 

MEETINGS RESUME 

Community boards in the east 

will resume normal meetings 

next week. The first meeting of 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board will be 

held on Monday at 10am in the 

Linwood boardroom, 180 Smith 

St. The first meeting of the 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board will be held on February 

10 at 1pm in the boardroom, cnr 

Beresford and Union St, New 

Brighton. 

WASTEWATER REPAIRS 

Bower Ave will have a traffic 

light system in place for the next 

three weeks while repairs are 

carried out to the wastewater 

system. Repairs of six wastewater 

laterals will take up to three 

days each to carry out. The work 

will take place outside properties

Maintaining trust and confidence 

This week’s 

opinion piece 

is written by 

Canterbury 

district police 

commander 

Superintendent John Price 

about modern day policing 

I am extremely proud of the 

police team who serve the people 

and make a difference to the 

community every minute of 

every day as our team keep the 

peace and ensure the public will 

be safe and feel safe. 

In New Zealand our police 

have the implicit consent of the 

community. 

In order to do this we must be 

seen as policing with integrity 

and with accountability. 

Essentially we must have the 

trust and confidence of the community. 

Policing by consent follows the 

principles, ideas and ideals of Sir 

Robert Peel which define an ethical 

police organisation. 

These ‘Peelian Principles’ are 

as relevant today as they were in 

1829 when they were established. 

Police, at all times, should 

maintain a relationship with the 

public that gives reality to the 

historic tradition that the police 

are the public, and the public are 

the police. 

We maintain the highest level 

of ‘full trust and confidence’ of 

any policing organisation in the 

world, at about 80 per cent. 

By comparison, some policing 

jurisdictions have trust and confidence 

levels lower that 10 per 

cent, demonstrating that those 

organisations are not widely seen 

as ethical and trustworthy. 

If you have travelled overseas 

you will have seen examples of 

policing organisations whose approach 

is to police with fear and 

only force. 

We place enormous importance 

on maintaining and fostering 

the trust and confidence of 

our communities and we work 

hard to ensure we maintain our 

core values and hold each other 

to account. 

Having been a member for 30 

years I think the community is 

justified in having trust and confidence 

in this organisation. 

In Canterbury we want to 

ensure that people can be safe 

and feel safe and I’m sure that is a 

sentiment you will share. 

Our focus is on reducing harm 

caused to families, whether that 

be through violence in the home, 

death and injury on the roads, 

drug use or dishonesty offending. 

We also want to empower 

communities to work together, 

support each other and to speak 

up when something isn’t right. 

We work very closely with 

a range of agencies and community 

groups to ensure people 

receive the support they need and 

deserve. 

Over the past year we have 

targeted those bringing illegal 

drugs and firearms into our 

communities and as a result have 

seized 140 illegal firearms. 

Each one of those is potentially 

a life saved. 

We have also prevented significant 

amounts of illegal drugs in 

getting to our streets. 

We are very lucky in that we 

receive a lot of positive feedback 

from members of the community 

for the work we do. 

To those people who have taken 

the time to contact us I would 

like you to know that your words 

of support mean a lot to myself 

and my team who come to work 

every day to make a difference in 

the lives of everyone so that we 

can be the safest country.

Youth group gets pool open 

• By Caitlin Miles 

COURTNEY Stothers 

is spending her summer 

pool-side – working as a 

volunteer lifeguard at Linwood 

Community Pool. 

The Parklands 17-year-old 

heard Youthtown was looking 

for young people to become 

volunteer lifeguards to help out 

at the pool. 

“I just thought it was a great 

way to be in the community and 

the kids and families are really 

great,” Courtney said. 

It’s the second year Youthtown 

is operating the community 

pool, located at Linwood 

Avenue School. 

This year it has decided to encourage 

nine local teenagers to 

become volunteer lifeguards to 

help keep an eye on the children 

using the pool. 

The city council helped cover 

the costs of training the nine 

teenagers. Youthtown southern 

area manager, Amanda Murray, 

said it wanted to help give local 

kids some useful skills. 

“We think it’s really good to 

get the local teenagers involved 

and this way they can then work 

at other council run pools with 

the training and skills they’ve 

learnt,” Ms Murray said. 

To help with costs of running 

VOLUNTEER: Courtney Stothers of Parklands spends many of her summer days as a volunteer 

lifeguard at the Linwood Community Pool. 


the pool the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

granted $6500 to the organisation 

to help cover lifeguard 

wages and running costs. 

“We’re training eight 

teenagers to help out. It gives 

the local kids a chance to 

learn some new skills too,” Ms 

Murray said. 

Users pay $1 a day to be able 

to use the pool which is open 

seven days a week from 11am 

until 6pm. 

She said it was great to be 

able to provide a pool for the 

community over the summer 

months, since there isn’t one 

available in the area. 

But she said the community 

was vocal about its desire for a 

long-term solution. 

A $21.8 million pool is 

planned for the Linwood 

Woolston area. A project team 

was assigned to the project 

last year, with a design due in 

November this year and construction 

to start on the project 

in 2018. 

The pool opened at the start 

of January and will close on 

Waitangi weekend. 

Calendars, 

movies 

at museum 

THE NEW Brighton Museum 

still has 2017 calendars for sale. 

This year the subject is old shops 

and shopkeepers. 

A museum spokesperson said 

the calendar is a classic, and have 

gone into reprints. They are selling 

for $10 each or three for $25 

The museum is open every day 

from 1pm to 3pm. The calendars 

are also at Hammer Hardware. 

The museum is seeking volunteers 

to staff the desk one day a 

week and show people around.

Kate Russell 

Proud mum awarded for her 

Kate Russell has been a leader in the 

not-for-profit health sector for 24 years. Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about working 

at the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation 

and what it was like to raise three children as a 

solo parent. 

Congratulations on becoming 

and Officer of the New Zealand 

Order of Merit. You must be 

very excited? 

I was thrilled when I heard. 

My first reaction was who the 

heck must have nominated 

me? But I still don’t know and 

possibly never will. I am very 

honoured. I didn’t know I was 

going to get nominated. There 

are so many different sectors 

in my professional life where it 

could have come from, but they 

said health and governance and 

that has narrowed it down. 

What made you stick to 

helping the not-for-profit 

organisations? 

I fell into the not-for-profit 

sector by accident. My first job 

was as a fundraising assistant 

for Presbyterian Support. I 

got it because it was a 20-hour 

week job and it suited the fact I 

had small children at the time. 

I was in that job for a couple 

of weeks and I had what you 

would describe as a vocational 

empathy of thinking, oh my 

goodness, this is what I want to 

do for the rest of my life. I was 

30-years-old and aside from 

being a mother, I hadn’t figured 

out what I wanted to do careerwise. 

I had always done things to 

do with social justice. I had gone 

on the ‘no tour marches’ and 

was a junior member of human 

rights organisation, Amnesty 

International. 

Tell me about working at the 

Canterbury Medical Research 

Foundation? 

When I took this role, some 

of my colleagues at the national 

programme, Cystic Fibrosis New 

Zealand, were like isn’t that a 

step back because you are going 

into a regional role? But after the 

earthquakes, I very much had 

in my heart to do something in 

Canterbury. Medical research is 

something you don’t always get 

RECOGNISED: Kate Russell is chief executive of the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation, 

which funds research and oversees organisations like the New Zealand Brain Research Institute. 


immediate results. In the nearly 

three years I have been there, I 

can’t say there has been a new 

blockbuster drug. Rarely does 

medical research go ahead in a 

quantum leaps, it is these little 

baby steps that happen over a 

number of years. 

Could give me a picture of the 

research you are doing at the 

moment? 

We just finished a study on the 

use of vitamin C and breast cancer. 

We are also funding a young 

women at Otago University 

who is looking to use vitamin 

C for people who have got ear 

infections. We are also pivotal in 

supporting the development of 

the UC Rose Centre for Stroke 

Recovery and Research.

role in medical research 

How do you think our 

medical research compares to 

the rest of the world? 

We punch very well above our 

weight. What gets achieved here 

in research for the fraction of a 

cost is really quite astounding. 

In spite of the frustration we all 

naturally get with the health system 

and getting put on waiting 

lists and restricted medicines, we 

still have universal public health 

care here. When you look at the 

hideous situation people in the 

United States find themselves 

in, where they don’t have health 

insurance, we have a fabulous 

system here. We only pay $5 per 

item for medicine which may 

cost up to $150. Still some people 

complain about that. 

You often hear about there 

not being enough beds at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

For sure, Christchurch Hospital 

is an incredibly busy hospital. 

But the financial results and just 

the strategic results the CDHB 

gets in terms of the development 

of new services; they are 

just terrific and stack up very 

well compared to the rest of the 

district health boards around 

the country. I can tell you these 

places are populated by bloody 

good people who all have a very

big heart for what they do. 

How old were you when you 

first had children? 

I had my first child when I was 

19. It was a surprise. It wasn’t in 

my plan to get pregnant in my 

second year of university. By the 

time Sam, my eldest boy, was one 

I was back at university doing a 

full-time course, looking after 

him and holding down two parttime 

jobs. I have no idea how I

did it. 

Would that have been one of 

the most difficult times in your 

life? 

No. I always had plenty of 

family support around me. I 

have a very close family. But the 

most difficult time of my life was 

when I broke up with my first 

husband. I was a solo parent on 

my own for seven years with 

three children. For me, it got to 

the stage where I was very poor. 

I wouldn’t say I had hit rock bottom, 

but I was very poor and I 

had to work very hard and make 

significant sacrifices for the 

well-being of my children. I was 

there for some time and I had 

to make a conscious decision to 

climb myself out of that. To not 

be dependent on welfare. 

How did you get through? 

The whole family had to make 

sacrifices for that to occur. 

There were a lot of times where 

I couldn’t go to the kids’ sports 

days. I couldn’t be the one to 

drop them off at school or look 

after them after school. I recognise 

my children paid the price 

for me putting a lot of evidence 

on the development of my career. 

I had a 12, eight and four-yearold. 

What do your children say 

about it now? 

They are very proud. From 

time to time, we have these conversations 

where I say I still carry 

some guilt about not being there 

because I had to work. I had to 

be the main bread-winner in the 

family. They are very pragmatic 

about it and say what you taught 

us is a really good work ethic. We 

understand why you did what 

you did. 

What was the job that got you 

to turn your career around? 

Probably the one that started 

me on the road to financial 

recovery and career development 

was the one at CCS Disability 

Action where I was the regional 

fundraisng manager. That was 

where I felt like my skills were 

fully utilised and I was given a 

sufficient amount of authority. 

Have you found a new partner? 

We are coming up to our 

second year now and it is all very 

new. He lives in his house and 

I live in my house and we have 

a very nice time when we are 

together. But I am independent 

and decided I am not really cut 

out for living with another person. 

I am much too independent. 

So you are keeping the magic 

alive? 

Exactly, and my independence. 

I make my own money. 

If I want a diamond ring, I buy 

it, I don’t worry about someone 

else. I watched my mother model 

independence to me because my 

father died when I was 12. She 

had a very hard road to hoe and 

she was and still is an extremely 

hard-worker. And again, a very 

independent thinker, bright and 

an inspiring woman.

FLAME FILES 

Don’t make it easy for arsonists 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire 

Risk Management Officer 

WE’RE IN a new year and 

the same old incidents 

keep on occurring. By this 

I mean kitchen fires and 

arsons. 

An unattended cooking 

fire in Sockburn this 

week raised an interesting 

dilemma for landlords. 

Most know that there 

is a new building law 

requirement that landlords 

provide smoke detectors in 

their properties. 

In the case referred to 

there weren’t any smoke 

alarms in a rental where 

the tenant went off to work 

forgetting about food 

cooking on the stove. 

Smoke was seen and Fire 

Service troops attended. 

There wasn’t too much of 

a mess and our crew made 

sure there was a brand new 

10-year smoke detector 

installed (free of charge 

by the way) before the 

occupant went back in. 

But what would be the 

result if the tenant had 

gone to bed after cooking 

rather than leaving for 

work? What if then the 

worst happened? How 

would the law treat the 

landlord? 

It’s a good enough 

reason to make sure an 

alarm is there and that the 

installation is recorded. 

Then it’s the tenant’s 

responsibility if the alarm 

is removed. Otherwise 

landlords, you could be in 

the gun! 

An arson fire in 

Addington on Wednesday 

morning was lit in

cardboard stored under 

a canopy in the rear 

yard. Most of the damage 

was cosmetic but some 

light fittings and air 

conditioning units were 

destroyed. It probably 

wouldn’t have happened if 

combustibles hadn’t been 

available. 

Please make sure your 

skips, bins and cardboard 

cages are locked and away 

from your building. 

Don’t make it easy! 

Stray cat problem 

on the increase 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

THEY ARE cute, fluffy – and reaching 

plague levels in Christchurch. 

Cat Rescue Christchurch has just had 

its busiest month on record, taking in 

137 stray cats and kittens for rehoming 

in December. That was up from 80 at the 

same time the year before. 

It has left the charity with more than 

$12,800 in vet bills for December alone. 

The numbers show no signs of slowing, 

with another 40 arrived already this 

month. 

Managing director Beki Milligan said 

the charity had been working for more 

than a decade to try to reduce Christchurch’s 

stray cat problem, so the spike was 

disheartening. 

“I like to think we’re getting somewhere, 

but as soon as we think that, 

something like December will happen,” 

she said. 

“It doesn’t take long for a problem to 

get out of control, especially when it’s 

cats. They can start reproducing at 16 

weeks, so if you’ve got one litter and in 

four months they are reproducing themselves, 

then you can have a colony of 50 

in six months.” 

The majority of the cats had been living 

wild for a long time, she said, often in 

Christchurch’s industrial areas. 

HOMELESS: Leia, one of the kittens 

Cat Rescue Christchurch currently 

has up for adoption. 

The kittens and some cats were homed 

by the network of volunteer foster families, 

who socialise and train them before 

they are put up for adoption. 

Wild adult cats are usually released 

again after they are desexed and have 

medical needs taken care off.

CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a strong focus on

House of Cards is a day-time bridge 

club situated in Merivale. Our philosophy 

is to provide a friendly, family-type 

environment for bridge players. 

Bridge is not only a wonderful, 

stimulating game, it is also splendidly 

social. We have had much pleasure in 

seeing many new friendships flourish over 

the years. 

House of Cards is especially renowned 

for its teaching and we have taught 

literally thousands of beginners as well as 

improvers, in Christchurch and around 

New Zealand. We have run several 

national teachers’ conferences and have 

been instrumental in creating a national 

standard for bridge teachers. 

We have also written a whole series 

of bridge books for new and improving 

players which are widely used in New 

Zealand, Australia and the United 

Kingdom. 

We are a friendly, enthusiastic team 

who welcome new players. We have four 

sessions dedicated especially for the novice 

player, so you needn’t feel nervous! 

We will also introduce you to 

SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club 

catering for the improving player, where 

you can practice online during your course. 

It’s a great way to learn.

fun, gentle exercise starting this Valentine’s 

Day. Kashmir’s beginner belly dance class 

runs for eight weeks and explores not only 

the movement of belly dance but also a 

little of the background. You can watch 

some of the top belly dancers on video, 

begin to get a feel for the music, and get a 

glimpse into a different culture all while 

learning about how your own body can 

move to express the music as a belly dancer. 

Belly dance is the dance of celebration 

and entertainment in many Middle Eastern 

countries. Everyone does it (men, women, 

singing and receive six weeks of group 

singing lessons for $70. The lessons begin 

on Wednesday 1 February at 7pm. 

The Chorus was founded in 1985 and 

is directed by Virginia Humphrey-Taylor. 

There are over 100 members with ages 

ranging from 21 years to over 70. Sweet 

Adelines is a world-wide organisation 

with over 600 choruses singing in the 

barbershop style. 

All ages and voice ranges are welcome. 

The ability to read music is not necessary. 

Contact us, phone 022 689 9745 to find 

out more. See you there. 

and children). It is kind to the body with 

no extreme flexibility required and, unlike 

most folkdances, no jumping. It is based 

around movement of the torso rather than 

footwork. 

Although travelling and weight 

transitions are required for stage work, as 

a beginner you will learn mainly to move 

your hips and shoulders (“belly” dance is 

a misnomer). Then you can start to put 

movements together into phrases, add 

“layering” (two or more things at once), 

and sharpen your ability to isolate.

Line up for some fun 

& learn to line dance 

If you like to dance, want a social life 

with a friendly bunch of people, then 

Line Dancing could be just what you 

are looking for. Scientists theorize that 

dancing has a triple benefit for the brain, 

it increases blood flow, reduces stress 

and keeps that vital grey matter in shape. 

Dancing also combines physical, mental 

and social activity and is a whole lot of 

fun too. Laughing is good for you because 

it increases our ability to think positively 

and we even cater for people who think 

they have two left feet. You can have all 

these benefits plus meeting new friends by 

joining “Cathedral City Line Dancers”.

Aikido Shinryukan 

Do you enjoy cards? 

Canterbury 

This is the advice we always give to 

people who want to learn aikido. It really 

is that easy. Of course every new student 

is naturally apprehensive about beginning 

a Japanese martial art; we have all “been 

there.” But to begin you need to take that 

first step. 

At Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury we 

take care to ease beginners into training 

through our basics classes taken by 

senior instructors. Step by step we build 

knowledge. We focus on beginners 

understanding the fundamentals of aikido 

so that they can take the next step and 

begin what we hope will be a life long study 

of the art. Anyone can do aikido regardless

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Advanced Weight 

Management Support + 

GO SLIM GARCINIA GOLD is the latest 

in Natural Weight Management Support 

to hit the market. It contains three well 

researched herbal extracts in optimum 

amounts to support weight management 

as well as offer surprising benefits for good 

health. 

An extract of the purple rind of 

Mangosteen contains an amazing 

group of compounds called Xanthones. 

Xanthones may support weight loss by 

helping normalising a slow metabolism 

(common as we age), improving digestive 

function and nutrient absorption, acting 

as a powerful appetite suppressant by 

promoting synthesis of glycogen in the 

body (With adequate levels of glycogen 

the brain receives a signal to suppress the 

appetite), increasing energy and activity 

levels (but non stimulating) as well as 

supporting fat metabolism. Xanthones also 

offer amazing health support in other ways. 

They contain a wide variety of vitamins 

and minerals as well as some of the most 

powerful antioxidant nutrients found in 

nature that may help slow the aging process, 

ward off degenerative diseases and physical 

and mental deterioration. 

East Indian Globe Thistle has been 

shown to increase the levels of the hormone 

adiponectin which encourages food to 

be burned as energy rather than stored 

as fat. When East Indian Globe Thistle is 

combined with Xanthones weight loss is 

potentiated as shown in an 8 week study of 

100 people on a calorie controlled diet with 

exercise where half the participants took 

the combination of the two herbs. Weight 

loss benefits, including a reduction in hip 

and waist size were significantly increased 

in the 50 people using the combination of 

East Indian Globe Thistle and Xanthones 

compared to those on diet and exercise 

alone. 

The third ingredient Garcinia Cambogia 

is a source of hydroxycitric acid or HCA. 

HCA can help burn fat for energy, help stop 

the formation of fat from excess calories 

in the diet, while reducing the appetite as 

well as food cravings. It has become one of 

the most popular weight loss supplements 

for this reason. Garcinia Cambogia also 

increases your serotonin levels which can 

improve mood and sleep. 

One of the big problems today is we 

eat much more than we need. This excess 

eating has been shown to lead to serious 

health issues as well as a shorter life span. 

GO SLIM GARCINIA GOLD contains 

three powerful natural ingredients to 

support a healthy weight as well as the 

potential to support improved body 

function.

Krill Oil No.1 

for Good Health! 

All our body cell membranes are made 

up of phospholipids exactly the same 

phospholipids as available in Krill Oil. 

These phospholipids available in Krill 

are its big advantage over fish oil that is 

in a triglyceride form and that must be 

converted by our liver to phospholipid 

form to be able to have benefits to our 

cell membranes. This conversion of 

triglycerides to phospholipids is inefficient 

and a much larger dose of fish oil is 

needed for the same benefits as a much 

smaller dose of Krill Oil. Some research 

has shown Krill Oil to be 48 times more 

potent than fish oil. Another benefit of Krill 

Oil is it contains one of the most potent 

antioxidants known, Astaxanthin. 

Recent research shows Krill Oil can 

lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, 

metabolic syndrome, obesity, Type-2 

diabetes and may lessen a variety of brain 

and mental disorders including Autism 

and Dyslexia, Parkinson’s and some forms 

of Alzheimer’s disease. Krill Oil can help 

normalise high blood pressure by reducing 

inflammation of the blood vessels and 

improving blood quality. It is also highly 

effective at reducing high cholesterol 

levels, increasing HDL cholesterol, 

reducing triglycerides (a damaging blood 

fat), reducing C - reactive protein and 

reducing other damaging blood factors. It 

can also reduce dangerous fat levels in the 

liver and heart. Krill Oil is also a natural 

anti-inflammatory and can help reduce 

PEGASUS POST 

pain, improve joint function and reduce 

symptoms of arthritis. 

The secret is therefore the phospholipid 

and Astaxanthin content rather than 

just the amount of Krill oil in the soft gel 

capsule. Some brands have very low levels 

of these two important compounds and 

may not even list them on the label. For the 

maximum nutritional benefit we are happy 

to help you choose a quality product with 

effective amounts of Phospholipids and 

Astaxanthin and at a realistic price.

PEGASUS [Edition POST datE] 

Tuesday January 24 2017 19 

Stretch 

your way back to it 

As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you 

may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in. 

This is a good indicator from our 

bodies, that the holiday routine 

was somewhat different. Perhaps 

you sit a lot for work and you 

were on the go or, you are normally more 

active and the holiday break was more 

sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay 

attention to these signals the easier it will 

be to deal with it. 

So what can you do to ward off pain 

and stiffness and boost your energy and 

alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises 

at your desk that will release tension from 

head to toe. They take only a few minutes. 

Set the alarm on your cell phone or 

computer to go off every hour to remind 

you it’s time to get up and stretch. 

Just stand up and sit down - no hands 

If you stand up and sit down (over and 

over) without using your hands it can be a 

challenge, do it while you’re on the phone; 

no one will know. 

Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders 

Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders, 

lifting them high up to your ears. Hold. 

Release and drop. Repeat three times. 

Loosen the hands with air circles 

Clench both fists, stretching both hands 

out in front of you. 

Make circles in the air, first in one direction, 

to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles. 

Shake out the hands. 

Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms 

Stretch your left hand out in front of you, 

pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your 

right hand to increase the stretch, pushing 

your fingers down and toward the body. 

Be gentle do the same with the other hand. 

Now stretch your left hand out straight 

in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing 

skyward. Use your right hand to increase 

the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward 

your body. Do the same on the other side. 

Release the upper body with a torso twist 

Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right 

and grab the back of your chair with your 

right hand, and grab the arm of the chair 

with your left. With eyes level, use your 

grasp on the chair to help twist your torso 

around as far to the back of the room as 

possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes 

continue the stretch see how far around 

the room you can peer. Slowly come back 

to facing forward. Repeat on the other side. 

Do leg extensions 

Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself 

and extend your legs straight out in front of 

you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and 

point your toes five times. Release. Repeat. 

Stretch your back with a “big hug” 

Hug your body, placing the right hand on 

your left shoulder and the left hand on your 

right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing 

the area between your shoulder blades. 

Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back 

Extend one arm out straight in front of you. 

With the other hand, grab the elbow of the 

outstretched arm and pull it across your 

chest, stretching your shoulder and upper 

back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the 

other arm in front of you - repeat. 

Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug” 

Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has 

wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or 

wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your 

feet together, flat on the floor. 

Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms 

dangle loosely to the floor. Release your 

neck. Now bring your hands behind your 

legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm 

(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand 

grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your 

back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release 

your hands to the floor again. Repeat three 

times or as often as it feels good. 

Look up to release upper body 

Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch 

your arms overhead and interlock your 

fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as 

you lift your chin up, tilt your head back, 

and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale, 

exhale, release.
