Computers through generations<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

IN 1992, Tim Bell taught<br />

computer science to primary<br />

school pupils – without a<br />

computer.<br />

The computer age was in its<br />

infancy and there were very few<br />

Thieves target surf<br />

equipment<br />

around for school children to<br />

use.<br />

So teaching them about<br />

computer science was all<br />

worksheet-orientated.<br />

Now 25 years later,<br />

Professor Bell (above) has won<br />

an international award for his<br />

contribution to computer science<br />

education.<br />

The Dallington man will<br />

recieve the award in Baltimore in<br />

February next year at the largest<br />

computing education conference<br />

worldwide, The SIGCSE Technical<br />

Symposium.<br />

The perfect leg of lamb<br />

Small things that will make a<br />

huge difference to your table<br />

Along with other colleagues,<br />

Prof Bell led the development of<br />

Computer Science Unplugged,<br />

a system of activities which<br />

allows students to learn about<br />

computer science, without computers.<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

THE CENTRAL New Brighton<br />

School site could be sold to<br />

private developers.<br />

A community meeting will be<br />

held tomorrow, with a key focus<br />

being the future of the Roy Stokes<br />

Hall which is on the site.<br />

There is concern the hall will<br />

be also demolished as part of any<br />

new development on the Seaview<br />

Rd site.<br />

Said Renew Brighton manager<br />

Sylvia Smyth: “The hall was built<br />

for and has always functioned as<br />

both a community and school asset.<br />

It has been a treasured by the<br />

community for over 40 years, including<br />

serving as an emergency<br />

centre after the February, 2011,<br />

earthquake.”<br />

“The site is destined for sale<br />

and the community have not<br />

been consulted at all in this process.<br />

We have asked for a pause<br />

in this process so that the community<br />

has the space and time<br />

to decide what comes next,” said<br />

Miss Smyth.<br />

Renew Brighton will host<br />

tomorrow’s meeting with the<br />

Christchurch Circus Trust, which<br />

leases the hall.<br />

THERE’S ANOTHER Warren<br />

Hawke surf book for the coffee<br />

table this Christmas.<br />

The evergreen New Brighton<br />

photographer has just published<br />

another gem, full of surfers and<br />

other local surfing tidbits (see<br />

page 7). It takes an in depth look<br />

at Scarborough Beach with its specialist<br />

Malibu-style waves, surfing<br />

personalities, local board riding<br />

clubs and international surfing<br />

event, ‘The Single Fin Mingle’.<br />

New Brighton, Waikuku and a<br />

secret bay on Banks Peninsula also<br />

feature. The bay hasn’t been named<br />

in the book. Hawke said he wants<br />

to keep it for the surfers who know<br />

how good it is.<br />

Fair enough Warren, I’ll keep<br />

a lid on it too in this column for<br />

those who have gone there for<br />

many years. I’m sure those who<br />

can ride those pretty impressive<br />

waves won’t want it congested.<br />

Rockabilly venue in doubt<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

ROCKABILLY Show and Shine’s<br />

future at Rawhiti Domain may be<br />

in doubt.<br />

The annual event which brings<br />

more than 8000 people to the<br />

domain may have to find a new<br />

venue if the Christchurch<br />

Archery Club get their wish.<br />

Event<br />

organiser Robbie<br />

Baigent (left)<br />

said for the<br />

past two years<br />

organisers have<br />

fought to keep<br />

the event at the<br />

domain and have struggled to<br />

find a suitable date for next year’s<br />

event.<br />

Mr Baigent was required to<br />

confirm the dates for the event<br />

with every group which uses the<br />

domain.<br />

All agreed to support the<br />

event, except for the archery club,<br />

which said no to every date organisers<br />

put forward, Mr Baigent<br />

said.<br />

“For us to change these dates,<br />

it will split our audience and<br />

attendees making the event nonviable<br />

for us and in course taking<br />

away from our community,” Mr<br />

Baigent said.<br />

ISSUES: For the Rockabilly’s Show and Shine event held at Rawhiti Domain if they continue<br />

to clash with the Christchurch Archery Club which has concerns about noise and health and<br />

safety.<br />

The archery club suggested<br />

one date to the Rockabilly<br />

organisers; however, it was not<br />

suitable for them.<br />

The club has concerns for<br />

noise and health and safety.<br />

Club president Dave Henshaw<br />

said the group wants to work<br />

with all parties involved to reach<br />

a suitable outcome, however,<br />

noise is a big concern.<br />

“Our events are controlled by<br />

what is called a national judge<br />

and the national judge is the<br />

person who can say ‘yay’ or ‘nay’<br />

if anything goes wrong because<br />

of certain safety requirements<br />

and noise. The archers need to<br />

hear any controls for safety that<br />

are shouted out by the national<br />

judge.”<br />

Mr Henshaw said the noise<br />

at the recent event was “exceptional.”<br />

“We could not have held<br />

a national event on that day<br />

because of the noise. However,<br />

we are still trying to come to<br />

grips with it and find a way we<br />

can accommodate all,” said Mr<br />

Henshaw.<br />

The group called noise control<br />

on the event which took place on<br />

<strong>November</strong> 11.<br />

The city council completed<br />

noise testing and found the<br />

event met with noise requirements.<br />

Mr Baigent is calling on the<br />

community to let the city council<br />

know how much the event means<br />

for New Brighton.<br />

He submitted an application to<br />

city council on Friday to secure a<br />

date for next year’s event.<br />

More than $5000 was raised<br />

from this year’s event to go back<br />

into the community.<br />

BADLY DAMAGED ROADS<br />

The city council is currently<br />

preparing the next Long Term<br />

councillor David East said this is<br />

the best time to address the issue<br />

of roading. Cr East is asking for<br />

residents of east Christchurch to<br />

help him compile a list of the five<br />

worst roads in the area that need<br />

repairs. He will then collate the<br />

results and present a list to city<br />

council in order of priority.<br />

End the stigma around epilepsy<br />

<strong>November</strong><br />

is Epilepsy<br />

Awareness<br />

Month,<br />

Coastal-<br />

Burwood<br />

Ward city<br />

councillor<br />

Glenn Livingstone speaks<br />

about his experience with<br />

the condition<br />

I was first diagnosed with<br />

epilepsy at 19.<br />

I’m now 54 and have not let the<br />

condition hold me back, in fact<br />

I’ve used it as a springboard to set<br />

goals and achieve them.<br />

Leading up to the diagnosis,<br />

I could not work out why I was<br />

having uncontrollable twitches<br />

when falling asleep.<br />

At a 1983 Youth Easter Camp<br />

I had a seizure, where I blacked<br />

out and was taken to hospital<br />

with concussion and a suspected<br />

broken nose.<br />

My worried parents waited<br />

while an electroencephalogram<br />

revealed the spikes of the ‘extra’<br />

electricity in my brain.<br />

Following this, I was diagnosed<br />

with myoclonic epilepsy. I was<br />

put on medication, which I’ve remained<br />

on since, in order to keep<br />

the epilepsy under control.<br />

One of the consequences of this<br />

newly-acquired condition was<br />

not being able to drive for two<br />

years.<br />

It also meant cycling with a<br />

helmet. Cycling wearing a yellow<br />

helmet in Palmerston North in<br />

1983 was a novel experience for<br />

everyone, both me and the locals.<br />

“Hey skid-lid”, or “moon-head”<br />

were all part of the experience of<br />

passing motorists in Palmy.<br />

Shortly after I was diagnosed<br />

and told someone about it, they<br />

said: “Oh, you’re an epileptic.”<br />

It was that labelling that was to<br />

become the impetus for me to set<br />

goals and pursue them.<br />

In February, I will be taking<br />

part in my seventh Coast to<br />

Coast event with MP Poto Williams.<br />

If you see someone having a<br />

seizure and lying on the ground,<br />

ensure that they do not come<br />

into contact with any furniture<br />

if inside and that they can’t hurt<br />

themselves.<br />

Once the seizure is finished,<br />

depending on the severity of it,<br />

check that they’re able to breathe<br />

without any obstructions in their<br />

mouth.<br />

They will probably be able<br />

to talk to you but may be a bit<br />

groggy. In some cases they may<br />

need medical attention but every<br />

person and every case is different.<br />

Those of us with epilepsy, our<br />

family and friends, want to be<br />

accepted. We should all work to<br />

put an end to the stigma around<br />

it.<br />

Those of us with epilepsy have<br />

extra electricity in our brains!<br />

So employ us, be cool with us<br />

and above all, give us a chance.<br />

Readers respond to an<br />

article about city council<br />

not turning off the Wi-Fi<br />

minimise loitering and antisocial<br />

behaviour<br />

David Neal – Play audible<br />

children’s books where they<br />

congregate. The kids will love it,<br />

the restaurant customers will be<br />

okay with it and I bet loiterers<br />

won’t be.<br />

Sara Spencer – Our library<br />

had a problem with teenagers<br />

loitering and smoking weed out<br />

the front. They just started playing<br />

classical music quite loudly<br />

out the front and they’re all gone<br />

now. That simple.<br />

Cathryn Lucy – If you<br />

think Wi-Fi and audio will<br />

stop things, you really need to<br />

rethink and realise it’s <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

Everyone has their own data and<br />

headphones to listen to whatever<br />

they want, and if noise is so loud<br />

that it’s annoying, it will annoy<br />

all patrons too.<br />

Renate En Rolie Geleyns<br />

– Disappointing the council<br />

can’t be more helpful to solve<br />

this issue . . . it’s never that hard<br />

Surf lifesaving trailer thefts<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

Scotty<br />

Roberts<br />

SPECIALISED SURF lifesaving<br />

trailers have been stolen from a<br />

storage shed in New Brighton.<br />

The thefts have angered Surf<br />

Life Saving New Zealand, which<br />

says it won’t be able to replace<br />

them for the summer.<br />

Said SLSNZ sports manager<br />

Scotty Roberts:<br />

“For the last 15<br />

years, we’ve never<br />

had any problems,<br />

but in the last two<br />

weeks, we’ve been<br />

hit by two breakins<br />

and case of<br />

vandalism.”<br />

“All the stuff that<br />

we have in there<br />

we have to fund for, so even as a<br />

national body, we still fund for<br />

gear and, yes, it’s all insured<br />

. . . it’s just more the<br />

inconvenience and the fact<br />

that they are stealing from a<br />

voluntary organisation whose job<br />

is to help and save people,” said<br />

Mr Roberts.<br />

Two SLSNZ trailers were stolen<br />

from the Owles Tce compound<br />

on October 29.<br />

Following this, security was<br />

increased and new locks were<br />

added.<br />

Then, on <strong>November</strong> 6, another<br />

break-in occurred, this time the<br />

GONE: Surf club members with specialised trailers that have<br />

been stolen from a storage shed in New Brighton.<br />

thieves bypassed the locks and<br />

took the gate off by its hinges.<br />

An IRB trailer belonging to<br />

North Beach Surf Club was<br />

taken, along with a canoe<br />

trailer owned by the South New<br />

Brighton Surf Club.<br />

The thieves attempted to steal<br />

a third trailer which had a wheel<br />

lock, so they let the tyres down.<br />

Paddles and a laptop were also<br />

taken from a Waka Ama storage<br />

facility next door on the same<br />

night.<br />

Police are asking for anyone<br />

who may know anything about<br />

the thefts or the whereabouts of<br />

the trailers to come forward.<br />

THE SOUTHSHORE Residents<br />

Association is looking for<br />

funding for an automated<br />

external defibrillator.<br />

Currently in the Southshore<br />

and South New Brighton<br />

communities, there is only<br />

one AED available at South<br />

New Brighton School which<br />

can be used during school<br />

hours.<br />

The residents’ association has<br />

identified the need for another<br />

one which is available 24 hours<br />

a day, seven days a week.<br />

The next closest option for an<br />

AED is in New Brighton, where<br />

there are six.<br />

SOUTHSHORE’S Dylan<br />

Wood is among local surfers<br />

and identities in a new Warren<br />

Hawke book.<br />

NZ Surf: The Collection – Vol<br />

1 takes an in-depth look at surfing<br />

in New Zealand and New<br />

Brighton is a common feature.<br />

The coffee table book containing<br />

more than 500 photos and<br />

60,000 words features surfing<br />

events, including The Ray White<br />

New Brighton Duke Festival of<br />

Surfing.<br />

The festival has quickly grown<br />

to become the biggest surfing<br />

competition in New Zealand,<br />

said Mr Hawke.<br />

There is a section dedicated to<br />

New Brighton Boardriders life<br />

member Iain Buchanan, a five<br />

time New Zealand Open Champion<br />

who is currently travelling<br />

the world as a head judge on the<br />

European and Hawaiian legs of<br />

the World Qualifying Series and<br />

as the ‘Priority Judge’ on The<br />

World Championship Tour.<br />

The section provides insight<br />

into what it takes to compete at<br />

this level.<br />

The pier features several times<br />

including a photographic piece<br />

entitled Moods of The Pier which<br />

features shots of several local<br />

New Brighton surfers on big<br />

waves breaking along both sides<br />

of the pier.<br />

Mr Hawke considers the pier<br />

to be an excellent platform to<br />

shoot off.<br />

“In the right conditions<br />

the surf can look world class.<br />

Capturing the best action with<br />

interesting light is always a goal<br />

and sometimes it all comes together<br />

if you are persistent,” said<br />

Mr Hawke.<br />

Surfer Keiry Bennett, labelled<br />

by Mr Hawke as a ‘local celebrity,’<br />

also features.<br />

Mr Bennett first surfed New<br />

Brighton beach on hollow plywood<br />

boards in the late 1950s<br />

and is now the owner of Exit Surf<br />

in Ferrymead.<br />

It is Mr Warren’s second<br />

surfing book, published by CPL<br />

Media in Auckland, which<br />

specialises in beach and surfing<br />

publications.<br />

The book has a limited print<br />

run with the plan to sell it out<br />

and do no reprint.<br />

Copies of the book are available<br />

from local surf and clothing<br />

shops as well as good book shops.<br />

CELEBRITY: A new Warren<br />

Hawke book features many<br />

local surfers.<br />

CURL: Warren Hawke said in his new surfing book, NZ Surf:<br />

The Collection – Vol 1 that the New Brighton pier offers a great<br />

platform for surfers to shoot off. Local surfers including Southshore’s<br />

Dylan Wood feature.<br />

BREAKERS: New Brighton’s Will Newman is one of many local<br />

surfers to feature in the book.<br />

Computer science through the generations<br />

•From page 1<br />

The programme, which is<br />

used around the world, focuses<br />

on binary numbers, algorithms<br />

and data compression and has<br />

been translated into 25 different<br />

languages.<br />

A visit to his son’s year 1 class to<br />

talk about his profession sparked<br />

the idea.<br />

“I was aware from my son<br />

about the people before me, in<br />

particular a cop, who came<br />

along with his car and a<br />

nurse who brought fake<br />

blood, so as a computer<br />

scientist the challenge was<br />

getting kids to actually be<br />

interested in computer science.<br />

“But then it went down really<br />

well and I kept being invited back<br />

for more sessions,” said Prof<br />

Bell (left).<br />

The challenge was to<br />

find an engaging and<br />

interesting way to teach<br />

computer science,<br />

something Prof Bell was<br />

determined to achieve.<br />

“Someone might say, well,<br />

obviously, you can’t teach computer<br />

science to five-year-olds<br />

and so I thought well okay,<br />

lets see if we can . . . it’s<br />

definitely about rising to that<br />

challenge.”<br />

Shirley Primary School,<br />

Banks Avenue School and<br />

Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />

School were some of the first to<br />

trial the system.<br />

“The local Christchurch schools<br />

have been a very big part of<br />

what has become a well-known<br />

international programme …<br />

being Kiwi schools, I feel they<br />

are more open to new ideas and<br />

making stuff happen,” said Prof<br />

Bell.<br />

produced Comfort<br />

Food, a film about<br />

losing friendships.<br />

Avonside actress takes award in<br />

her film about broken friendship<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

AN AVONSIDE Girls’ High<br />

student won best actress in a film<br />

she created about her experience<br />

with losing a friend.<br />

Zoe Rhoades and classmate,<br />

Charlotte Stringer, produced a<br />

short film, Comfort Food, which<br />

was screened at The School<br />

Shorts: Screen Competition <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

The film follows the main character<br />

Hazel (Zoe) through her<br />

journey of grief and self discovery<br />

after her close friend said she<br />

wanted to end the friendship.<br />

The film competition was run<br />

for the first time this year and<br />

organised by secondary school<br />

media teachers and the New Zealand<br />

Broadcasting School.<br />

The year 12 students believe the<br />

issue is not often touched on in<br />

mainstream films.<br />

“I think, typically, romantic<br />

break-ups are generally portrayed<br />

in films, but it’s not as common<br />

to see friendship break-ups,” said<br />

Zoe.<br />

“These break-ups are generally<br />

under-valued in society, yet it can<br />

affect all parts of your life, just<br />

the same way romantic relationships<br />

do.”<br />

Zoe was shocked to receive<br />

the prize for her first acting<br />

performance, which was “pretty<br />

unexpected”.<br />

The films in the compeititon<br />

were required to be no longer<br />

than 7min and the finalists’ films<br />

were screened at Hoyts Riccarton.<br />

Zoe received a $100 cash prize.<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

media studies teacher Rob Lay<br />

was involved in organising the<br />

competition and hopes it will<br />

start an annual Canterbury-wide<br />

film festival for secondary school<br />

students.<br />

A similar film festival called<br />

Invision ran from 2004-2010<br />

before being disrupted by the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

Zoe also won the overall prize<br />

for the top student in media studies<br />

for year 12 at Avonside.<br />

The best film award went to a<br />

St Andrew’s College film titled<br />

Beginners.<br />

RAWHITI SCHOOL pupils have<br />

raised more than $4500 for chairs<br />

for Christchurch Hospital.<br />

The pupils, aged 5 and 6 raised<br />

the money for three Devon<br />

recliner chairs for the children’s<br />

ward.<br />

Deputy principal Helen Hogarth<br />

said the initiative was part<br />

of the social science curriculum<br />

which focused on “playing our<br />

part to make the community a<br />

better place.”<br />

The pupils held a mufti-day,<br />

spellathon and a market day to<br />

raise funds.<br />

Some even raised money in<br />

their own time.<br />

“Some of the pupils were having<br />

lemonade stalls outside their<br />

house and making things and<br />

selling them to people who were<br />

passing by. Of course, as soon as<br />

children’s ward.<br />

Pupils get chairs for hospital<br />

people found out what they were<br />

doing, they were giving them $20<br />

for a cup of lemonade,” said Mrs<br />

Hogarth.<br />

Originally the 105 students<br />

were raising money for just one<br />

chair.<br />

“In the end we raised enough<br />

for three chairs and we were<br />

totally blown away,” said Mrs<br />

Hogarth.<br />

Mrs Hogarth said the enthusiasm<br />

from the students was what<br />

made the fundraising go further.<br />

“They loved it. They were so<br />

engaged in what they were doing.<br />

They were coming to school early<br />

wanting to work on their market<br />

day arts and crafts. They were<br />

working on it through their break<br />

times. They were so enthusiastic<br />

about it.”<br />

The chairs cost $1500 plus GST<br />

and will be used by families staying<br />

in the children’s ward.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />

Skin Rejuvenator<br />

Until Rachel<br />

Hunter’s popular<br />

TV series “TOUR<br />

OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />

Oil was relatively<br />

unknown, being one<br />

of the best-kept secrets<br />

of the Pacific Islands. It<br />

may however be the number<br />

one natural beauty oil available<br />

as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />

regeneration and healing properties.<br />

According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />

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

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />

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

in promoting the regeneration and<br />

formation of new tissue, thereby<br />

accelerating wound healing and<br />

the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />

Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />

penetrate all three layers of the<br />

skin, offering exceptional cell<br />

hydration and regeneration.<br />

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

potent anti-inflammatory,<br />

antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />

antioxidant properties.<br />

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

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

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

for which it is considered helpful include<br />

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

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

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

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

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

ACV SUPPORTS<br />

• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes<br />

• Energy – Vitality – Endurance<br />

• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites<br />

• Powerful antioxidant<br />

• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure<br />

• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity<br />

• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health<br />

• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux<br />

• Weight Loss<br />

eczema, psoriasis,<br />

dermatitis, herpes<br />

sores (cold-sores),<br />

insect bites and<br />

stings, rheumatism,<br />

pain, sciatica,<br />

shingles, sunburn,<br />

rosacea, athlete’s foot, skin<br />

eruptions, warts, skin ulcers<br />

and sores, nappy rash and almost<br />

any other skin ailment and often with<br />

incredible results.<br />

Many beauty and skincare products<br />

on the market today contain unnatural<br />

ingredients that can be toxic and may<br />

even contribute to disease. Generally<br />

the benefits are exaggerated<br />

and often only temporary or<br />

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

100% pure and certified organic.<br />

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

Dilo nut and contains absolutely<br />

no additives. Polynesians and<br />

Southeast Asians have revered<br />

Dilo Oil for centuries believing it<br />

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

the Gods. Dilo oil stimulates<br />

and supports the skins natural<br />

healing process through the growth of new<br />

healthy skin tissue. I personally believe<br />

it is a remarkable product and highly<br />

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

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

Further information is available from<br />

the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s<br />

Health & Natural Therapy in New<br />

NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL<br />

As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty<br />

Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable<br />

skin anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred<br />

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

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

& regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin<br />

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

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

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

Dilo Oil Supports<br />

• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines, blemishes, scars &<br />

stretch marks<br />

• Skin hydration<br />

• Skin repair & growth, helps feed the skin & stimulate healthy new cells<br />

• Wound healing & skin protection from bacteria, viruses & fungus<br />

• Most skin problems, rosacea, pimples, ulcers & sores, acne, psoriasis,<br />

eczema, dermatitis, rashes, blisters, skin eruptions, warts, insect bites &<br />

stings, athlete’s foot, burns, nappy rash etc.<br />

• Joint & muscular pain<br />

Centuries old folk remedy<br />

supports good health!<br />

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an<br />

array of powerful health benefits. It is none<br />

other than the popular apple cider vinegar<br />

or ACV. Since the time of Hippocrates –<br />

the “Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />

renowned for its curative properties.<br />

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and<br />

FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />

reports how he found that Vermonters<br />

who regularly consumed ACV and Honey<br />

had excellent health with many putting in<br />

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />

when well into their eighties.<br />

He also noted the effects of<br />

ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />

remarkable with many patients<br />

reporting almost total relief<br />

after taking a course of the<br />

mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised<br />

that the acid and potassium<br />

in cider vinegar counteracted<br />

calcium deposits and helped<br />

the body control calcium use.<br />

He also noted that Vermonters<br />

who consumed ACV and H<br />

around meal time had excellent blood<br />

pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />

found was that protein foods thickened the<br />

blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood<br />

thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly<br />

through the blood vessels and capillaries.<br />

This poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />

health by limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />

well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />

To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />

increases blood pressure but this puts<br />

more stress on the blood vessels, organs<br />

blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found<br />

regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />

an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />

health attributes.<br />

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />

the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />

readily accepted by the body. Good health<br />

starts with good digestion<br />

and assimilation of nutrients.<br />

ACV taken before food will<br />

stimulate and promote healthy<br />

digestion and assimilation of<br />

vital nutrients for good health.<br />

A well-functioning digestive<br />

system helps prevent disease<br />

by neutralising any toxic<br />

substances that enter the body.<br />

It is important to note not<br />

all ACV is produced in the<br />

traditional way and results are<br />

likely to prove disappointing with these<br />

other vinegars.<br />

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV<br />

with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />

Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />

the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />

you can use less.<br />

Hours of care in<br />

your cupboards<br />

While the Nurse Maude Hospice Shops are<br />

a well-known feature on the Christchurch<br />

retail scene, no quite so well-known is its<br />

equally successful counterpart, Maudes on<br />

Trade Me.<br />

Maudes on Trade Me sells everything<br />

from antiques to sporting and household<br />

items and is open 24 hours a day, seven<br />

days a week with the proceeds of every<br />

item supporting hours of care in the Nurse<br />

Maude Hospice.<br />

With up to 400 items a week being listed<br />

and sold Maudes on Trade Me is totally<br />

dependent on a steady stream of donated<br />

goods.<br />

So if it’s something you no longer want or<br />

need the chances are it can raise money<br />

for the Nurse Maude Hospice.<br />

There has always been a strong<br />

relationship between the<br />

community and the Nurse<br />

Maude Hospice.<br />

That relationship is what makes<br />

it possible for patients and their<br />

families to be able to receive<br />

care and support free of charge<br />

at the Nurse Maude Hospice so<br />

they can focus on what matters<br />

rather than having to worry<br />

about how they’re going to pay<br />

for that care.<br />

While smaller pieces can be<br />

left for Maudes on Trade Me<br />

at any of the Nurse Maude Hospice Shops<br />

it is sometimes possible for larger or bulk<br />

items to be picked up.<br />

Just give them a call on 375 4643 or<br />

email them at trademe.volunteers@<br />

nursemaude.org.nz and they can let you<br />

know if and when they can pick them up.

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Love your dentures<br />

Is it time to swap your generic denture appearance<br />

for a beautiful, natural looking smile?<br />

Internationally renowned dental<br />

technician Richard Greenlees,<br />

PGDipCDTech (University of Otago) of<br />

Lovebite is the person to call.<br />

His special point of difference is<br />

rebuilding what he calls the Oral<br />

Architecture, the structure and shape of<br />

a patient’s face that is often lost following<br />

years of wearing dentures.<br />

Lovebite dentures address problems<br />

that can arise due to years of the patient<br />

wearing incorrectly fitting or poorly<br />

functioning dentures, such as poor<br />

occlusion (the way the teeth come<br />

together), aesthetics, function and<br />

hygiene.<br />

An intricate knowledge and<br />

understanding of facial features allows<br />

Richard to return facial tissues back to the<br />

correct position, reform lips, and restore<br />

beauty and confidence.<br />

Richard provides a friendly, discreet<br />

service and personally guides his patients<br />

through the transformation process to<br />

create teeth with small nuances in the<br />

fabrication, colour and shape.<br />

Carmen, a recent patient said in a<br />

thank you letter to Richard, “I highly<br />

recommend your craftsmanship to anyone<br />

wanting a natural looking smile. Because<br />

you do your work in front of your client,<br />

one is able to see how meticulous and<br />

dedicated you are to ending up with a top<br />

class result. My dentures are amazing.<br />

They look like one’s own natural teeth. So<br />

much time, effort and energy went into<br />

the end result. Simply the best.”<br />

Richard’s patients have varying needs,<br />

from full denture replacement, to first<br />

time immediate dentures, implant<br />

supported dentures and metal partial<br />

dentures.<br />

Since he started making teeth in<br />

1980 Richard has travelled extensively,<br />

accumulating vast knowledge through<br />

training and working in Japan, and<br />

running his own practice in the<br />

prestigious Harley Street, London for 15<br />

years. He continues to teach his world<br />

leading techniques globally.<br />

Richard also creates porcelain crowns<br />

and veneers, working with like-minded<br />

dental professionals.<br />

A beautiful new Lovebite smile<br />

resembles nature and reflects the patient’s<br />

character. It boosts confidence and helps<br />

patients to look and feel years younger.<br />

AFTER<br />

These before and after photographs<br />

perfectly highlight the facial<br />

rejuvenation that can be achieved<br />

with a Lovebite denture (right).<br />

The patient’s facial structure and<br />

shape have been restored, with her<br />

beautiful new smile transforming<br />

the way she looks and feels.<br />

These stunning lovebite full upper and<br />

lower dentures have been expertly crafted by<br />

internationally-recognised dental technician<br />

Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio.<br />

The combination of Richard’s skill, experience<br />

(including 15 years in London’s prestigious<br />

Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary<br />

techniques allow him to create beautiful<br />

bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those<br />

in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality<br />

and unique character.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

STRAWBERRY AND<br />

MARSHMALLOW PARFAIT<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ cup Marshmallows, small<br />

350g Sugar<br />

500g Strawberries, hulled<br />

6 Eggs, 4 yolks, 2 whole<br />

2 cups Cream, thick<br />

500g Strawberries, fresh, for<br />

garnish<br />

Directions<br />

To prepare the tin, line a narrow<br />

terrine mould about 30cm<br />

x 10cm with plastic wrap. Set<br />

some of the marshmallows along<br />

the bottom with some strawberry<br />

slices.<br />

Place the strawberries in a<br />

saucepan with half the sugar.<br />

Bring to a gentle simmer over a<br />

low heat. The juices will come<br />

out, so there is no need to add<br />

water. Simmer for no more<br />

than 2min, then remove from<br />

the heat and mash or purée the<br />

mixture.<br />

Return it to the pan and set<br />

aside. Use an electric beater to<br />

whisk the egg yolks and whole<br />

eggs with the remaining sugar<br />

until thick and mousse-like.<br />

Return the strawberry and sugar<br />

mixture to the heat and bring to<br />

a simmer. With the beater still<br />

running, tip this hot mixture<br />

into the eggs and continue<br />

whisking until it is really thick<br />

and well incorporated. The hot<br />

sugar and strawberries “cook”<br />

the egg yolk, so it is not raw.<br />

Whip the cream until it reaches<br />

soft peaks, then fold it gently<br />

through. Add the remaining<br />

marshmallows to the mixture.<br />

Spoon it into the prepared tin.<br />

Cover with plastic wrap and<br />

freeze for at least 24 hours. To<br />

serve, cut the parfait into slices,<br />

surround with sliced strawberries<br />

and place in a cup.<br />

HOW TO ROAST THE<br />

PERFECT WHOLE LEG OF<br />

LAMB<br />

Whole leg of lamb<br />

1-2 tbsp oil<br />

Rock salt<br />

Freshly ground black pepper<br />

4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary<br />

Take the lamb out of the fridge<br />

30min before cooking to allow<br />

it to come to room temperature.<br />

Preheat the oven to 170 deg C.<br />

Place a wire rack in a roasting<br />

tray, place the lamb on the rack<br />

and brush the meat with the oil<br />

and then season with the rock<br />

salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper.<br />

Rub the lamb with the rosemary<br />

sprigs leaving them in the<br />

roasting dish. Place the meat into<br />

the oven and roast at 160 deg C,<br />

allowing 30min per 500g.<br />

To test if the meat is cooked,<br />

use a skewer to pierce the leg at<br />

the thickest part, going through<br />

to the bone. If the juices are clear,<br />

the lamb is cooked.<br />

Remove the lamb from the<br />

oven, cover the meat with some<br />

aluminum foil and then set the<br />

lamb aside to rest, for approximately<br />

15-20min. Carve the meat<br />

and serve with your favourite<br />

vegetables and plenty of gravy.<br />

culmination of a year's worth of efforts from<br />

StarJam’s young people.<br />

mash-ups,” said Jo, Casey, coordinator. “A<br />
