Exploring greatness
• By Noah Graham
HILLVIEW Christian School’s
biennial production is exploring
the idea of greatness while
highlighting a traditional
New Zealand tale.
The show Invitation will
boast 63 year 7 to 10 pupils
and will emphasise grace,
forgiveness and love through
three different stories.
The three stories portray
an overarching message of
how every person is invited
to greatness but will often
miss the opportunity because
it could be through someone
we love, a problem to solve or
a job to be done – something
human’s tend to overlook,
music teacher and co-director
of the show, Philippa Becker
said.
Mrs Becker said she was codirecting
the show with the school’s
drama teacher, Xanda Eves, and it will
feature a variety of singing, dancing
and drama.
•The show will be performed
on April 11 and 12 in the
school’s gymnasium with
tickets available from the
school’s office.

THE CITY council needs to
stop changing its mind for the
problematic Cracroft intersection,
Westmorland Residents
Association chairman Bill
Kingston says.
Mr Kingston said he was
frustrated city council kept
delaying its plans for the Hoon
Hay, Cashmere and Worsleys Rds
intersection.
Mr Kingston’s anger came as
construction for the intersection
was re-phased through the
Annual Plan process with an
expected completion date pushed
back to the 2018/19 financial year
and a $800,000 increase in costs,
totalling about $3.7 million.
“It’s totally disappointing. It
seems any plan they make, they
change,” Mr Kingston said.
At a council meeting in September
last year, funding to improve
the intersection was brought
forward for the earliest practical
construction date in the 2017/18
year, and an increase in the available
budget after residents singled
out the Hoon Hay, Worsleys and
Cashmere Rds intersection with
concerns the Port Hills Adventure
Park was due to open.

WOOLSTON MAN Michael
Reynolds has a pretty cool idea –
a community fruit and vegetable
garden in his local park.
Michael wants a group of local
residents to help him establish
the garden in Radley Park.
The produce would then be
distributed to those who can’t afford
to buy fruit and vegetables.
Far too many kids these days
go without fruit and vegetables.
I can’t understand why because
it’s cheaper than KFC and Mc-
Donald’s, which they seem to eat
a lot of.
So a pat on the back for Michael
in his bid to get families
eating more healthily. If you

Funds sought to fix car park
• By Noah Graham
SPREYDON residents make a
bid tomorrow to get funding
to make an exit from the
Barrington shopping centre
safer.
The Spreydon Neighbourhood
Network has a deputation to the
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board to push for money to
improve the exit on Barrington
St. The network wants improvements
funded from the current
city council budget.
If it does not, the group will
be hoping to fund the project
through this
year’s Annual
Plan, Spreydon
Neighbourhood
Association
secretary Sonya
Hodder (left)
said.
However, if the
project was to be funded from
the Annual Plan, she was worried
work would not begin on
the car park entrance and exit for
another year, she said.
If it were to be funded through
minor works, the project could
be started within months, she
said.
For more than three years, the
group has been lobbying to stop
drivers exiting right out of the
car park onto Barrington St as
well as removing the right-hand
turn from Barrington St into the
car park.
She said cars turning right
must cross a line of traffic and
with the amount of vehicles it is
just a “disaster waiting to happen”.
“It’s concerning for pedestrians,
cyclists and the elderly who
want to cross the entrance on the
footpath.”
Mrs Hodder said there had
been numerous engineers assigned
to their project with the
closest of any real progress being
one engineer producing nine options
for the exit.
She said the community board,

residents were supportive of
removing the right-hand turn
out of the car park but shopping
centre management did not want
to remove the right-hand turn
into it.
She said the shopping centre
was the closest shopping hub for
most of the Spreydon and surrounding
communities with the
exit impacting a lot of people.

renewal is likely to get under

process.
NOMINATIONS WANTED
Nominations for community
services awards will close
this month. Time is running
out to nominate community

deserve recognition. Those
who you think have made their
community a better place need
to be nominated by 5pm, April

Idea for food hub in park
• By Noah Graham
A WOOLSTON resident needs
a show of support to help his
communal food hub dream
flourish.
Michael Reynolds wants to
establish the Roimata Community
Food Hub at Radley Park,
to help serve the Woolston and
Opawa communities with fresh
fruit and vegetables.
However, to get
things under way,
he needs clear
support from a
core group of the
community who
would be willing
to undertake the
Sally Buck
project, Mr Reynolds said.
The Te Waka Unua School
board of trustees member said
it would be great if a regular
group of community members
were to put their hands up and
be willing to help maintain the
food hub on a consistent basis.
“Around 20, consistent people
who would be committed to getting
it off the ground are needed
and will help give us a strong
base to work from,” he said.
Mr Reynolds said the multifaceted
community food hub
would function similarly to others
around the city and would

feature an orchard area with
fruit and berries and large beds
to grow vegetables and herbs.
“It would be a completely
public project where, if you are
willing to contribute with some
sort of labour, you’d be able to
take your share of the produce.”
The produce harvested from
the hub could also be used to

help those in the community
who need it.
Ideally, the hub would have a
strong emphasis on sustainability
with a rainwater harvesting
and composting toilet systems
to help reduce the impact on
water systems, while maximising
the available space.
Mr Reynolds was unsure how
much of the 3ha park land the
hub would use, he said.
However, he said city council
and the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
chairwoman Sally Buck were
supporting the project.
Ms Buck said she fully supported
the project and would
mention it at the next community
board meeting.
She said it was a “fantastic
idea” to have a community garden
for residents to use.
Community projects such as
the food hub are exactly what
Woolston needs to reinvigorate
the area and to change people’s
opinions, Ms Buck said.
She said the hub could become
focal point for the community.
Ms Buck said she would work
with Mr Reynolds to fund the
project but first the community
needs to show they want the hub.
Those interested in being a
part of the project should email
woolstonwarriors@gmail.
com or contact Mr Reynolds
through the Roimata Community
Food Hub Facebook page.

•From page 1
The intersection is one of a
number of safety projects within
the 10-year LTP programme
and has had 21 crashes in the
2010-2014 five-year period, with
a KiwiRap Christchurch priority
listing at 47th.
The city council asset planning
team leader, Richard Holland,
said the project had been pushed
back one year in order to allow
design to proceed in 2017/18 and
construction in 2018/19.
“In effect that only delays
the work by six months,’’ he
said.
Mr Kingston said he has been
trying to get city council to sort
out the intersection for more
than 20 years but felt there has
been a lack of communication
between the community and city
council.
He said there was a mentality
within city council to “avoid
working with the community.”
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman Karolin
Potter said the intersection was
only going to get more complicated
and with the announcement
of a 380-home Cashmere Estates
subdivision, will be an important
part of the area.

JULIE TOBBELL has been
recognised for her selfless
efforts.
The Somerfield Residents’
Association chairwoman and
nurse was presented with a
‘pride of workmanship’ plaque
by the Garden City Rotary
Club for dedication to her
community.
Mrs Tobbell founded the
association four years ago and
as chair has been involved in
various projects to help bring
positive change to the community.
Her most recent efforts
included setting up a petition
to reinstate a bus service
along Selwyn and Somerfield
Sts, encouraging city council
to maintain city cemeteries
and supporting Studholme St
residents’ action against multiunit
development along their
street.

Mrs Tobbell said she was
honoured to have received the
award and she just did what
she felt needed to be done.
She thanked her family as
well for how patient they have
been with the number of community
projects she has been
involved with.
Rotary club president Roger
Pollard said Mrs Tobbell fully
deserved the award because
she had put so much time and
work into making the Somerfield
community better.
“She does it quietly and does
not expect any accolades.”
He said Mrs Tobbell’s efforts
were “selfless.”
Mr Pollard said she is an
invaluable member of the
community and continues to
be a positive influence.

They quietly snuck in without me even
thinking about it too much. We often
hear the heavy swoop of wood pigeon
as they move from branch to branch
and I am woken to the melodic call of

often surprised by their lively dives
through the garden. Fantails pick

yet we live in a city. We are fortunate
Kirsty Nixon

to still have these creatures share our
space and enhance our landscape.
Up close, their feathers shine with a
metallic luminous quality and when
painting the whites of their eyes they
each develop personalities.
Interestingly the birds in this show
have mainly been on the wing and
it seems to reflect a current state of
mind with a sense of escapism and
freedom.
Colour excites me and the time
seemed right to challenge myself with
a fresh exciting palette along with my
new subject matter. Embracing colour
in my new pieces has been a joy and
wonderfully liberating.”

Hard copy dictionaries still relevant in schools
Ferrymead
Rotary Club
member Barbara
Crooks talks
about the value
and importance
of hard copy
dictionaries in schools
It’s a developing debate –
dictionaries in traditional
book form against the ethereal
internet.
It’s a poser that crops up each
year for Ferrymead Rotary
members and several schools.
For some years now
Ferrymead Rotary has supplied
colourful illustrated dictionaries
for year 4 children in some local
schools.
This year, 160 dictionaries
in total were given to Bromley,
Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s
schools.
Each child is given a dictionary
to use at school and eventually to
take home.
In most schools, they are used
as a class set until the end of the
year when the children are able
to keep them.
The schools say that if the
dictionaries were given to the
children at the beginning of the
year, there would be none in the
classroom by the end of the year.
As a result, children who came
to the school during the year
would not have a dictionary to
work with.
In spite of the growing lure of
technology and computerised access
to information, teachers say
the hard copy dictionaries are
still valued and used alongside
the internet.
For some children, the dictionary
will be the first book they
have ever owned.
Ferrymead Rotary hopes these
dictionaries will help launch the
children on a lifelong reading
journey.
Ferrymead Rotary is assisted
in providing the dictionaries by
the Lorna and Bill Boyd Trust.
The trust offers all Rotary
clubs in New Zealand subsidised
dictionaries to give to low-decile
schools.
If you want to come along
and see what we get up to at
Ferrymead Rotary, you would be
very welcome.
For more information, call Kai
Tovgaard on 384 9485.

WELL READ: This year, the Ferrymead Rotary Club donated 160
dictionaries to pupils at Te Waka Unua, Bromley, and St Anne’s
schools.

The proposed

Ishty Fulop – Get a grip,

– This is getting ridiculous. I
love this bar and the staff are

Julie Van Meer – It was
always on the cards, even 25
years ago. It is very wrong to take
away from the character of the

Even the trees have gone, my old

William Hutson – Build

in Christchurch. So why build
more?

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements
The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades
have seen changes in both fashion and
technology. Styles have ranged from
festooned fabric swags to straightforward
and still popular holland roller blinds,
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,
and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.
Whatever your style, the Blind Care
Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue
can be removed so that your blinds
smell fresh and are restored to their
original glory. The company can repair
blinds also, having a huge range of parts
in stock. And if you want something
completely new, a great range of blinds is
available for purchase.
The company prides itself on efficient
service, providing a fast turn-around,
with most work taking one or two
days, and a same day cleaning option is
available. It makes it as easy as possible
for clients. The Cashel Street location
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup
and drop-off service is available. 150
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,
or one of their mobile vans can do up to
50 per day. That means they will come to
your home or office, remove and clean
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them
for you.
A cut-down and size alteration service
is available in order that the blinds you
bought are a perfect fit.
They are experts in their field with a
huge amount of experience to draw on.
In fact, all their staff has been on board
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20
years. Whatever the job involves, they
will work hard to make sure it gets done,
including one job of 800 blinds which
they completed in 4 days.

The effective use of low level laser
treatment for assisting in the healing
of deep tissue and joint problems has
been used for more than 40 years.
This treatment, which uses photo
stimulation of mitochondria in cells,
is able to penetrate into the site of
injury to promote healing and reduce
inflammation – relaxing muscles and
reducing pain.
Southern Chiropractic principal
chiropractor Andre Grob has seen
how the non-invasive treatment has
resulted in impressive results for his
clients.
“I attended the World Congress
conference on lower back pain in
Singapore last year where they
reinforced the use of low level laser
treatment on lower back pain.
“It was great to confirm the
technology I have been treating
my patients with has been highly
researched with clinical studies
showing the positive effect on acute
and chronic musculoskeletal pain.”
The treatment, which only takes 15
to 20 minutes, is especially effective
with muscle and joint pain, stiffness

associated with arthritis, neck and
lower back pain. It is approved by
the FDA and Meta analysis by the
Lancet Medical Journal also endorses
the treatment saying it can reduce
pain intensity, disability and the
reoccurrence of pain.
Andre can also provide other
treatments including adjustments,
exercises, stretches and muscle
therapy – to readjust the body or
help it heal from conditions that are
physical in origin.
These can include problems such
as back pain, muscle spasms,
headaches and poor posture.
What you may not know is that it
is also completely appropriate to
receive chiropractic care even though
you may not have symptoms. Unlike
standard medical doctors who you
visit when you have symptoms that
need to be treated, chiropractors
offer adjustments to improve spinal
alignment and overall wellbeing –
and can prevent the pain or other
symptoms even starting.
Going to a chiropractor is much the
same as going to the dentist or gym
or even leading a healthy life – it

prevents problems from reaching
critical stage where you can become
incapacitated and as long as you
keep up with regular visits, then you
continue to enjoy the benefits of a life
feeling well.
“I have been providing Chiropractic
Care for patients for more than
15 years and during that time I have
gained outstanding results. If you are
experiencing back or neck pain or feel
that treatment may be of benefit to
you please give me a call.”
ACC recognises chiropractors as
primary health care specialists when
it comes to spinal care so you do not
need a referral from a GP to seek
treatment for a back or neck injury as
a result of accidental causes. In the
event of an accident we can initiate
a claim directly and if it is accepted,
treatment costs will be subsidised.

The first steps in the major
redevelopment of Hornby High School have
been taken with the library and
administration building vacated and the staff
and students accommodated in temporary
structures elsewhere on the school grounds.
The vacated buildings are now awaiting
demolition, principal Robin Sutton says, with
the Ministry of Education soon to announce
the successful contractor for the
construction of the first new building. The
80-metre-long, L-shaped building will occupy
the footprint of the present building as well
as a large open area on the school grounds.

In 2016 we reconsidered our vision as a school,
and resolved that our aspiration is to be ‘A centre
of creative excellence’ in everything that we do,
whether visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or
music. The world demands fewer people who
can do repetitive tasks and more people who
can think creatively and critically. In doing this
we haven’t forgotten the importance of the
strong relationships that we build with all of our
students, and the importance of individualising
learning pathways so that we come as close
as we can to meeting every individual student’s
needs. With term one gone, there is such
department and library, this expansive
building will also house the science, art and
technology departments, the whare,
student café and the Learning Commons area
(formerly the library). The first stage of the
rebuild project includes a new gymnasium
complex of basketball-court size, which will
sit alongside the existing gymnasium.
A key feature of the building will be
flexibility. As Mr Sutton points out, it is
expected to last for many decades, but there
is no way of knowing how education
methods might change and what the
requirements of teachers and students might
be, even in 10 or 20 years’ time. For that
reason this and all the school’s new buildings
have been designed on flexible rather than
rigid, old-school lines.
Contractors are expected to set up on
site within one to two weeks following the
demolition, with construction likely to start
by late May, Mr Sutton says.
Another innovation at Hornby High, which
doesn’t involve a new build but rather a
re-design, has been the development of the
performing arts school, which has seen
buildings being remodelled and the
auditorium, drama and music departments
incorporated under one roof.
“Already this has brought more
wonderful evidence of our students embracing
our vision for creative excellence, and everything
that it demands.
Our focus is firmly on improved academic
performance. Central to that is our participation
in the Manaiakalani Outreach programme that
causes learning using an approach called ‘Learn
Create Share’. Chromebooks are vital to support
student learning and the evidence is growing
almost daily to show that this has a massive
positive effect on student learning. Thank you to
all whanau who have so far been able to make
this significant investment in their tamariki’s
education. Our relationships with students and
whanau and vital, and we continue to emphasise
these as the essential base for all learning.
Our student group performing at Polyfest in
March were everything that we could want, while
we also saw the re-emergence of rugby league
as a sport at Hornby High School with teams
in both the secondary schools junior and senior
league Nines competitions. Their performances
revealed a depth of talent that bodes well for the
next few years. Their approaches on the field
were also examples of students taking calculated

Email: office@hornby.school.nz www.hornby.school.nz
collaboration between teachers from the two
departments, and students working together
on projects,” Mr Sutton says.
The principal has a vision for his school
and his students as ‘A centre of creative
excellence’, and this is based around three
goals – learning, well-being and a willingness
to take risks.
“It’s an ongoing process and we are already
seeing signs of improvement, with students
gaining increased self-confidence and
self-belief. It’s very rewarding to see that.”
A centre of creative excellence
risks in the approaches to sport, and examples
of the sort of risk taking and leadership that
we have set as a strategic goal for the school.
We are very proud of them all.

BUSINESS PARK DEVELOPMENT
A BUZZ OF ACTIVITY
The development of Hornby’s Waterloo
Business Park is progressing at an impressive
pace, assistant development manager Joel
Webber says.
“It’s a dynamic and constantly evolving
landscape. There are currently 12 individual
sites under construction and we are expecting
ground to be broken on a further three sites
in the near future, so there’s a real buzz of
activity on-site at the moment.”
Roading work presently underway in the
area will boost the profile of the park once it
is completed, Mr Webber says.
“The NZTA-sponsored realignment of
Pound Road through to Main South Rd is
progressing well, with completion
programmed to occur in the fourth quarter
of 2017. This will significantly increase heavy
vehicle movements along Pound Rd and
provide unparalleled profile and visibility to
Waterloo Business Park sites with frontage to
Pound Rd,” Mr Webber says.
“We understand that the programmed
stage two of this work, which will eventually
connect an extended Pound Rd to the
Southern Motorway extension between
Springs RD and Rolleston, has been
fast-tracked for completion ahead of the
original three-year timeframe.
“Since our last update, Waterloo Rd has
been diverted and the course of the new road
runs internally within Waterloo Business Park,
which fits part of the bigger roading upgrades
and realignments in the area.”
In terms of land subdivision, Waterloo
Business Park has only a further two stages of
development to deliver (Stages 5 and 6) prior
to completion of the project, Mr Webber says.
Stage 5 (6.3ha) is programmed to be
completed and titled by early August 2017,
while Islington Green, Waterloo Business
Park’s central Parkland, measuring nearly
24,000sqm, will be completed as part of the
Stage 5 works.
Mr Webber says Islington Green will deliver
“unprecedented open/green space and
recreational facilities within a business park
context for staff, visitors and local residents
to enjoy”.
Stage 6 (6.87ha) will round out the land
subdivision at Waterloo and completion is
expected by the fourth quarter 2017, he says.
To support the commercial development,
there are plans to redevelop the historic
Islington Meat Processing Plant as a retail
precinct, with a focus on retaining and
redeveloping a number of the historic,
Victorian-era industrial buildings. To be known
as Islington Square, this will provide a
comprehensive convenience retail offering
within the business park, Mr Webber says.
“We have had a number of studies
commissioned that estimate that once it’s
completed, built-out and fully operational,
Waterloo Business Park will have between
3000 and 5000 employees.
“With so many employees on site, it was a
logical progression to provide a convenience
retail offering within the development,” Mr
Webber says.
Uses under consideration include food &
beverage, pharmacies, drycleaners, and
childcare facilities.

MORE REASONS FOR SHOPPERS
TO VISIT THE HUB
Already a huge drawcard for Hornby
shoppers, The Hub Hornby is now offering
even more reasons for people from there
and right around the city to visit, with school
holiday attractions, new shops and a new
customer service.
Bound to create a buzz, Lego will be at
The Hub during the April school holidays.
From Tuesday, April 25 until Saturday April 29
between 11am and 2pm every day, children of
all ages will be able to have an authentic Lego
experience.
Brought in from Australia, the Lego
immersive zone features Lego build
challenges and other Lego-themed activities,
all within a special Lego-themed area.
Stores that sell Lego at The Hub will also
be promoting their Lego ranges at this time.
“Lego has such a universal appeal,” centre
manager, Jason Marsden says.
“Whilst it has been around since 1932 it
has stayed very current, both with the
technology it now incorporates and
partnerships with some great movie
franchises such as the very popular Star Wars
range.”
Another new arrival at The Hub is the
brand-new Spark store. Situated at the north
end of the new food court, the store features
an open-plan layout, timber finishes and large
digital screens on the two main walls.
The most apparent feature of the new site
is the large, glazed end wall, which faces north
and lets lots of natural light into the site.
From the food court, the natural light and
external view draws the eye to the store.
The introduction of plastic gift cards at The
Hub means the days of dog-eared gift
vouchers or vouchers that have gone through
the wash are now over. Available in a choice
of two designs with matching holders, the
new gift cards are a convenient way to buy
a gift for that hard-to-shop-for person, or a
great way to reward staff.
The cards can be loaded with any amount
and used at almost every shop in the centre.
A quick and easy online page will tell
customers how much credit is left on a
card, so all the value can be easily used and
balances tracked. Using a new card is even
easier – it takes just a simple swipe in the
Eftpos terminal with no PIN required.

Just Cuts Hornby, Shop 49A, The Hub, Christchurch
The ‘Just Cuts’ Salon in The Hub, Hornby is completely Christchurch owned and
operated. Hairdresser Michael Turner, with over 40-plus years’ international experience, is
the owner and ‘on the floor’ Team Leader, while his wife Angela works behind the scenes
looking after admin, advertising and marketing.
Their staff members are all local people, with nigh on 200 years of hairdressing between
them. Four of the stylists are mums with children, boys and girls, and ages ranging from
seven to 18, so there is very little they don’t know about the latest styles, be it shaves, quiffs,
bobs, comb-overs, undercuts, layers – and there’s some hair tattooing going on as well!
Michael and Angela are proud to provide jobs for three mums returning to the workforce.
Three of their staff live in Hornby (and just walk to work), then three in Rolleston, Leeston
and the furthest away is from Ilam.
Many clients and staff know each other from school or various activities their children
are involved in – even dance school for one of the staff. So the atmosphere in the salon
is distinctively ‘very family and very friendly’, with many a catch-up happening right at the
reception desk!
Just Cuts also offers the exclusive Justice Hair Care Products range, and the staff are fully
qualified to advise on which products are perfect for your specific needs. These products
are not tested on animals, are biodegradable, and being concentrated are very cost effective.
Angela and Michael are also involved with the local community, generously supporting
local schools and organisations with contributions whenever possible.

NAVYn
Navy is one of the most popular colours this season. Best of all, because it’s a darker shade of blue, it is both flattering and slimming, too.
It’s also a better alternative to black, as it’s less harsh and carries an air of sophistication. Victoria Tait believes navy is most certainly the new black.

TRAVEL BAGS
FOR EVERY DESTINATION
As the name suggests, Just Bagz in Dressmart Hornby is filled with hundreds of
bags, with the main focus being on travel bags of every description.
This family-run business, owned and operated by Graham and Julieann Griffiths,
specialises in quality luggage from leading manufacturers including Samsonite,
Eminent and Riccardo, with 90 per cent of the stock being brought in by the couple.
Graham has been in the industry for over 40 years, covering manufacturing,
wholesaling and retailing, so with that experience and knowledge he can advise
customers on the right bag to suit their requirements and budget.
The bag purchased may depend on how many people will be using it, for example
a family, how they are travelling – whether by road or air, and how much they want
to take with them, or bring back.
The first choice customers have, is between hard and soft luggage and this comes
down to personal preference, Graham says. In both types there is a huge selection
of sizes, styles and fashion colours – with modern luggage also being much more
user-friendly. Ninety per cent of bags now have four wheels, making them very easy
to manoeuvre and transport. Just Bagz also has a range of travel accessories
including TSA locks and adaptors, passport holders and luggage labels.
There is also a wide selection of backpacks – adult sizes in various styles, and
children’s styles with novelty designs of their favourite cartoon characters.
Also on display are wallets, shoulder bags and handbags in both leather and
man-made materials, in a wide range of prices.
So, call in for a browse, and have a chat to Graham or Julieann about what you
are looking for. They will be very happy to give you some advice for your travel
needs.

Heat pump specialists offer expertise & hot prices
As winter approaches and thoughts turn to home heating, the idea of having a heat pump installed is seen as an ideal and
cost-effective solution for many homeowners.
That’s where advice from residential
heat pump specialists DC Installation
Services can be invaluable.
A small Christchurch owned and
operated business run by husband
and wife Daniel and Mel Cooper, DC
Installation Services not only has the
heat pump expertise and experience,
it also has the buying power to offer
customers top-brand heat pumps at
very competitive prices, Daniel says.
“We can come to your home to carry
out a site inspection and then advise on
the best heat pump for your situation.
We can give a quick,on-the-spot
quote with no obligation. Once you
book us, installation is done quickly
too, and we offer a full guarantee
on our workmanship for the life
of the unit.”
The company supplies all the major
brands, but highly recommends
Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps, as they
believe the quality and reliability exceed
that of other brands on the market.
“Mitsubishi Electric has carried out
extensive research and development to
produce heat pumps that are specially
designed to work efficiently in our
climate,” says Daniel.
Another advantage is that customers
having an existing heat pump replaced
with a Mitsubishi Electric model can
use the existing pipe work, which cuts
down on the cost.
DC Installation Services has an online
Trade Me store, which has generated a
lot of positive feedback.
“We have had well over 150
independent customer reviews, and
they are all 100 per cent positive,”
Daniel says.

LOCALS TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON NEW LEISURE CENTRE
Stephanie Bushell Audrey Kimble Lyndsay Ellis Carl Dodds
“It will make the whole area much
better.”
“A new place to go would be lovely.” “I would definitely use the pool.” “A nice addition to Hornby.”
From late April, Hornby residents will have
the opportunity to have their say on the
planned Southwest Leisure Centre when the
Christchurch City Council begins the
consultation process.
At present there are three potential sites
for the new centre – Denton Park, Kyle Park
and Warren Park, with residents being able to
state their preference, or suggest another site.
As part of the consultation, the council will
also ask if residents want the pool, library and
service centre to be built in the same locality
or separately.
The consultation will run from late April
through until June, which will enable groups
that meet monthly to discuss the options
when they meet in May.
Council representatives will be going out
to meet the local residents and will also be
contacting all the schools in the area.
Councillor Vicki Buck says there will be
lots of opportunity for formal and less formal
feedback, with formal drop-in centres at a
number of venues, meetings with all groups
who use the parks and also newspaper
advertising.
“The council’s ‘Have your say’ will seek
people’s views as well as many other ways
including signs at the parks and we’ll ask all
local schools and preschools to put it in their
newsletter. There will also be a letterbox drop
to all neighbours,” Ms Buck said.
Western News canvassed Hornby shoppers
about their thoughts on the planned centre
and what facilities they would be most likely
to use.
Hornby resident Stephanie Bushell said she
would use all the facilities.
“I have young nieces, so for them the pool
will be brilliant. It will make the whole area
much better.”
Audrey Kimble of Hornby said she would
use the library.
“I go to the library here all the time, and it
would be nice to have a bigger library. A new
place to go would be lovely.”
Lyndsay Ellis, also a local Hornby resident,
said he would definitely use the pool. His
wife Elizabeth agreed, saying she goes to the
Graham Condon pool, but it’s a long way to
go, so it would be good to have a pool closer
to where they live.
Hornby resident Carl Dodds said the pool
would be a “nice addition to Hornby”.
Most people spoken to believed that
Denton Park would be the best location for
the new centre.
Dr Chris Hendry, a health service
researcher, said that before building new
facilities councils needed to look at the
demographics of the particular area, to see
what was needed and what was most
appropriate.
“There should also be a point of difference
between community hubs like this, so they are
not competing with each other,” Dr Hendry
said.
It would be a good idea if the new
Southwest Leisure Centre had a pool that
was suitable for the elderly to use, she said.
“It needs to be an indoor pool or at least
have some roof cover. I also think it would
be good if rest home residents from the local
area could be brought to the pool,” she said.

COSY COFFEE SHOP TASTY FOOD
A quirky little coffee shop in Hornby is set to become a destination for anyone who enjoys
freshly made food and good coffee in a quiet, cosy spot where they can chat.
Owned and operated by Rebecca Robertson, Catering in a Box is built almost entirely from
recycled pallets, and was constructed by Rebecca herself.
“I have a creative background and I’ve always tried to build my own furniture and upcycle
where I can. I had a vision for the café and it turned out to be much more than my vision,”
Rebecca says.
Having built her café, Rebecca, who is also a former truck driver, turned her wide-ranging
talents to creating delicious food for her customers.
“I bake everything from scratch. I use free-range eggs and I don’t use any pre-mixes. My
passion for food comes from my granddad who taught me to cook from a very young age.”
The selection of food includes pies, sausage rolls, filled rolls, muffins and cakes, which
customers can buy to take away or sit and enjoy.
“It’s quiet here, so people can have a conversation without a lot of background noise,”
Rebecca says.
“I also have mums coming in for a takeaway coffee and going to Branston Park with their
children.”
Catering in a Box can also cater for your next event, corporate or private, from platters to
buffet and even the cake.
Catering in a Box is located in Witham Street, off Amyes Road. Opening hours are from
7.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday.

Don’t expect Toyota’s big Land Cruiser 200
to change much in the next few years.
The reason being is that the platform on
which it is based has already served the test
of time in terms of how it has been
engineered for purpose. It has also been
constantly upgraded to earn the reputation as
one of the industry’s best off-road drivelines.
The ladder chassis, the four-wheel-drive
mechanicals and the big engine all combine to
provide a vehicle which is an off-road
champion and a station wagon/sport utility
vehicle with few competitors.
The Land Cruiser 200 has just had another
make-over, and I think that is all you can
expect from Toyota and Land Cruiser at this
stage. The changes Toyota has made to the
Land Cruiser go a long way to keep the model
fresh without compromising its ability.
For 2016 the Land Cruiser gets new frontal
treatment – bonnet, grille and bumper – while
TOYOTA’S
LAND CRUISER 200
By Ross Kiddie
the inside gets some new kit including a rear
entertainment system with two
individual screens. The latter kept a nine-yearold
entertained during the time I travelled a
long highway route.
Little has changed under the bonnet. Sitting
there is a 4.5-litre, twin-turbocharged diesel
engine. It is rated with mammoth power
outputs of 200kW and 650Nm, power is
available all through the rev band, it is strong
and energetic, taking into account that it does
have to haul up to nearly three-tonne.
The Cruiser in this form has a willingness
beneath the throttle that is uncanny, and it
does so with a characteristic V8 growl that is
delightful to listen to.
It also has reasonable fuel usage statistics.
Toyota claims a combined cycle average of
9.5-litres per 100km (30mpg), which is not
that far distant to my 11.1l/100km (25mpg)
which incorporated a long highway drive,
achieving an 8l/100km (35mpg) instantaneous
figure at 100km/h, the engine barely turning
over at just 1800rpm.
Drive is sent through a six-speed
transmission and it is a beauty in terms of
refinement and shift quality. How it harnesses
that huge torque flow yet delivers with such
sophistication amazes me.
The Land Cruiser has ride quality to envy, it
floats over bumps and ruts, yet has the
rugged essentials so that off-road travel can
be completed capably. And that is the secret
of Land Cruiser, it is soft and sultry to drive in
the everyday environment, yet it is technically
superior when it comes to life off-the-beatentrack.
I took the evaluation car on a riverbank
route which follows the Ashley River, it was
perfect for the role with huge grip and drive
programs which can be dialled in depending
on the surface likely to be encountered.
The two main dials are for low and high
range, but there is also a crawl control
mechanism and multi-terrain select which
regulates wheelspin depending on the type of
ground encountered. The driver can dial up
the appropriate setting within the choices.
The Land Cruiser is complex, there’s no
denying that, but the result is extraordinary
off-road prowess, it is so capable the driver
can glean confidence from the vehicle, and yet
at the same time each occupant is cocooned
in a lap of luxury.
The test car was the range-topping VX
Limited model which sits at $133,490, there is
a lower spec model at $121, 900; however, if
you are serious about off-roading the Limited
would be the best pick with its kinetic
dynamic suspension system which improves
ride quality and performance off-road.
Not only has the Land Cruiser been given
a makeover, it is still the quintessential family
wagon with eight seats, perfect for the school
run or whatever the constraints are during
city driving. Interior space and
WESTERN SOUTHERN NEWS VIEW
associated comfort is vast, and it has a high
level of safety for all occupants.
Convenience features are too numerous to
mention but there are the usual high profile
items such as satellite navigation, electric
driver’s seat, four-zone climate control,
sophisticated audio and complex trip
computer, the latter displayed through two
digital dash panel readouts.
At almost 5m the Land Cruiser makes no
apologies for its size, but it has ability in a
corner which adds to the feeling of control, it
sits solidly on the road, while steerage is
relatively precise through huge tyres (285/60
x 18in Yokohama Geolander).
The Land Cruiser is most certainly an
off-road champion, yet it also serves in the
every day role. Thousands of buyers new and
pre-owned from Japan will attest to that, there
are many on our roads, and the facelift model
builds heavily on that success.

The Lexus F series cars have always been
one of my favourites from the marque.
It all started with the introduction of the
IS series in 2007; that car was available with
a 5-litre V8, the concept of a big engine in a
small car has always appealed to me.
There have been several V8s across the
Lexus lineup before and since, although I
think it would be fair to say that the 5-litre
V8 has been Lexus’ best kept secret given
that today the brand has a huge emphasis on
hybrid power.
That aside, a new generation GS F has
landed and, as you can guess, the F represents
V8, the same 4969cc unit which has powered
the performance arm of the Lexus brand.
The GS is a lot bigger than the IS
mentioned in my introduction, but
performance isn’t hindered, the GS F is a
monster regarding power output and
performance, and it arrives in a coupe-like
sedan body style which oozes desire and
practicality.
Landing here at $174,900, the GSF also
comes loaded with goodies, and much of that
is sight unseen. It has all of the latest technical
components which combine for safety and

performance. It is a complicated car which
is designed for high-speed motoring but also
has the manners which promote casual
driving for city speeds.
However, it is mostly a car which beckons
for the open roads, and there are driverselectable
sport mode protocols which can
be tailored to suit any driving style or
conditions.
In simple mechanical terms, the GS has a
longitudinally-mounted engine up front with
drive channelled through an eight-speed
automatic transmission to the rear wheels.
Up front, the engine is rated with a massive
351kW and 530Nm of torque. If you take
into account that peak power is available at
7100rpm and torque across a wide spread
from 4800rpm to 5600rpm, it is not only a
powerhouse, but it revs freely to the top end
and is strong from all points of the rev band.
Lexus claim a 4.6sec from a standstill to
100km/h time, and by my stopwatch, it will
lunge from 80km/h to 120km/h in 3.8sec.
These are quick times which easily satisfy, and
if you are letting the engine breathe freely it
affords a sound that is truly enticing, it wails
and thunders, albeit with a little help from the

Such are the power outputs a lot is asked
of the traction control system. Even with
huge rear rubber (275/35 x 19in), the grip is
challenged, the low profile Michelin tyres are
as good as you can get in a sporty car, but
under load even they struggle.
The fully independent front wishbone/rear
multiple link system aids traction along with
providing a fabulous, comfortable ride. In
standard mode the ride is glorious, and even
if you select the sports modes which firm the
suspension, there is little compromise in ride
quality.
I took the test car on the road I only use
for quick cars, the route to Lake Coleridge
Village is a mix of corners which will test
any chassis. The GS was in its element in the
quick and slow stuff. It has steering to envy,
feedback and control is millimetre precise,
turn-in is direct, and body balance perfectly
even. With the force of the engine out of a
corner it is a car which pleases the driver
immensely; and, of course, if a corner looms
a little too quickly, huge brakes with Brembo
calipers quickly slow speed, pedal feel is solid

and totally reassuring.
It’s hard to believe that with so much
performance on offer the GS F also beholds
the Lexus concept of luxury, the entire
in-cabin area is an experience to be in. Not
only is there every conceivable convenience
item, but that area is laid out so that five
people can enjoy the driving experience.
As much as I enthused with the engine outputs,
it also delivered respectable fuel usage
readouts. My five-day average
constantly listed around 12.9-litres per
100km/h (22mpg). That sits well with Lexus’
claim of 11.3l/100km (25mpg) on a combined
cycle average.
The GS F is also a car which you could
enjoy as an occasional on-track experience.
The first time I was acquainted with the car
was on the sealed track at Ruapuna’s Mike
Pero Motorsport Park. I was a passenger
with a professional race driver at the wheel.
The GS F responded to the high-speed
workout just as if it was built for
competition; it is an all-rounder which, in
comparison to other desirable sports cars,
seems all so affordable.

NRL PROGRAMME
DESIGNED TO PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH
Jessica Macartney and Brent Tomlinson display
the State of Mind jersey the players wear.
The Hornby Rugby League Club is one of two Christchurch league clubs that has put in place
a programme designed to foster a healthy mental state in its players.
Recognising the devastating effects that can occur if mental health issues are not addressed,
the NRL has developed its NRL State of Mind grass roots programme. Now in its second
season, it comprises a six-step recognition process targeted at club leadership level – club
administrators, coaches, managers and senior members.
Australian Jessica Macartney, community manager – NRL Health, who was in Christchurch
recently to present the programme, says the idea is to change the culture of the clubs by
educating these leaders about mental health and how to deal with difficulties young players may
have around mental health, and passing this on to them through mentoring.
“Each club has its own needs,” Jessica says, “so it’s a matter of working out what’s best, and
we do this through the six-step recognition process. It takes two seasons to get through the
six-step process.”
In 2016 there were five New Zealand clubs and 30 Australian clubs participating in the
programme. This year a further five clubs have joined the programme in New Zealand, and
in Australia, after a substantial State Government funding boost, there are 105 clubs going
through the programme, Jessica says.
Two leading NRL players, Simon Mannering and Tofofoa Sipley, have been appointed as
Ambassadors for NRL State of Mind in New Zealand.
As stated on the NRL State of Mind website, the key outcomes of the programme are: to
Come enjoy the atmosphere and
our Friendly efficient Team
reduce the stigma around mental ill health within the club and community; increase mental
health literacy across grassroots rugby league clubs; and stimulate help-seeking behaviours of
club members and community.
The outline of the programme was introduced at the Hornby Rugby League clubrooms in
May 2016, and that meeting drew a good crowd of club members, players and friends, who got
right behind the concept, club president Brent Tomlinson says.
“People knew it was needed, that something had to be done. They just didn’t know how, so
this came at just the right time.”
The club has set up a special Education Centre where the programme is presented, equipped
with sound system, computers and screens. The redecoration of the room and the installation
of equipment were carried out by club members in their free time, with the costs covered by
fundraising.
“Our teenage members can also come in here if they want some time out in a safe,
comfortable environment,” Brent says.
As part of the State of Mind programme, and to reinforce the message, all the teams wear
the special State of Mind jersey when they are playing.
Hornby Rugby League Club has produced Kiwis and other representative players and
coaches over the years. Later this year, members and local residents will have the opportunity
to see some of the world’s current top rugby league players in action, when they come here to
compete in the Rugby League World Cup taking place between October and December.

The award-winning team: from left, Paula Waldeck,
Shaunice Ross, Kirsty Stewart, Amanda Ellis, Christine Gilliver.
TIME TO PLAN WINTER HOLIDAYS
WITH AWARD-WINNING TEAM
See our full page advert on the back page and start planning your next holiday.
There have been more celebrations in the House of Travel
Hornby office recently as the team have recently been named
‘Best performing Small Outlet’ in New Zealand for House of
Travel for the second year in a row.
“We are absolutely delighted with the win,” says owner/
operator Paula Waldeck.
“We are only two and a half years old, so to have this title
under our belt twice is such a credit to our fabulous team,” she
says.
As the temperatures in Christchurch cool down, that’s when
people start thinking seriously about winter breaks in warmer
climes, Paula says. And the hot destinations this
season, are the South Pacific islands – especially Fiji and
Rarotonga.
“These destinations are popular because they are close, safe
and easy to travel to. And with the direct flights now on offer
to both destinations from Christchurch, not going via Auckland
or Sydney, it’s much easier not having to negotiate another
airport – plus it means more time on the beach.”
Cheap travel to Europe is the other big news of the
moment, Paula says.
“These deals are the most competitive I’ve ever seen.
Destinations like Greece and Spain, for example, are great
places to be during the New Zealand winter and we look
forward to organising trips to exciting places like these for our
clients.”
The consultants at House of Travel Hornby are all
passionate about travel themselves, as well. Christine Gilliver
has just returned from a 10-day, five-star trip to Japan, which
she says was “amazing”, especially visiting the mountains.
Kirsty Stewart is heading off to India this month, Shaunice
Ross has just come back from Fiji and will be travelling to The
Philippines in May.
All these diverse travel experiences enable the consultants
to advise their clients on what to expect and how to make the
most of the various destinations they visit.
This month House of Travel Hornby will be welcoming a new
member to the team – senior consultant Amanda Ellis. Amanda
has a wealth of experience in the travel industry, and is another
keen traveller. Her next trip will be to the Great Barrier Reef.
House of Travel Hornby is located at 40 Carmen Road, with
easy parking right outside the door, so call in soon and start
planning your winter holiday with one of their friendly and
knowledgeable consultants.

Gourmet delights on Emerald Princess
• By Mike Yardley
LOSING WEIGHT while
on-board an ocean cruise is a
forlorn goal.
Virtuously though, I circumnavigated
the promenade deck
of the Emerald Princess so many
times, I felt as if I’d walked my
way to Tasmania. All the more
reason to succumb to the great
slate of culinary salivation bursting
forth.
The old-faithfuls can be found
throughout the ship, from the
billowing buffet ballast at Horizon
Court, to the more formal a
la carte dining rooms of Boticelli,
Da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Cheap and cheerful snacks
abound, whether it’s a slice or
three of poolside pizza from
Prego Pizzeria, hamburgers and
hot dogs at Trident Grill or sweet
servings on a whim from Scoops
ice cream bar.
Generously studded with 13
dining venues, it’s the specialty
MOUTH-WATERING: Two gourmet plates at The Salty Dog.
dining experiences that lure the
gastronomes for a sense of culinary
discovery, flavourful fun and
design finesse.
The headliner is Share by Curtis
Stone. But my first stop was The
Salty Dog, a playful gastropub
cheerily garlanded in Union Jack
bunting. It’s the share-plates experience
that you should plump for,
whereby for an $18 cover charge,
you can select two gourmet plates
from the cravable menu, spanning
melt-in-your-mouth lobster
mac and cheese to wild caught
calamari frites.
Another unmissable gastronomic
encounter can be found at
the premium seafood, steak and
chop house, Crown Grill.
I started with chilean sea
bass and brioche-breaded king
prawns, before hitting the meat.
The globally-sourced range of
premium chops elicited a patriotic
pick on my part, opting for the
New Zealand double lamb chops
in rosemary essence with garden
fresh vegetables. Divine.
The piece de resistance is the
stirring six-course degustation
fine dining affair at Share. With
supreme ocean views over the
ship’s wake, the fresh, instantly
agreeable and homely design
elements mark a huge departure
from the standard cruise ship
aesthetic.
Decorative curios, books and
photos from Curtis’ personal
collection, add to its informal
ambience.
A star feature is the sweeping
communal table tailor-made for
sharing food, while exquisite
hand-blown glass pendants,
etched with words like family,
togetherness and travel, dangle
above the table.
The award-winning Melbourne-born
chef who has
made quite a splash in Hollywood,
has crafted a small plates
menu specifically for Australasian
tastes.
There are scallops, lightly
seared with a sesame and chickpea
puree, lamb loin matched
with harissa scented couscous
and steelhead trout lying in a
white wine beurre blanc.
The six-course experience
traverses starters, salads, pasta,
seafood, meat with a final flourish
reserved for dessert.
A selection of Curtis Stone
dishes are now served in the main
dining rooms across the entire
fleet of 18 Princess ships.
AWARD-WINNER: Curtis
Stone’s small plates menu
caters for Australasian tastes.

A more youthful appearance
When it comes to dentures, Christchurch
people have access to world-leading
techniques and oral aesthetics right on their
doorstep.
At his Montreal St studio Lovebite,
internationally-renowned dental technician
Richard Greenlees creates beautiful
bespoke dentures with small nuances in
the fabrication, colour and shape and even
slight imperfections to create a uniquely
individual smile.
Not only do Lovebite teeth look real, the
whole structure and shape of the patient’s
face is transformed with Richard’s top-ofthe-line
dentures – something he calls his
signature ‘denture lift’. “With appropriate
facial support, the facial tissues are brought
back into the correct position, the lips are
reformed, and beauty is restored,” he says.
It is the interior architecture of a Lovebite
denture that helps to create a more youthful
appearance by
recovering the
face and skeletal
shape that can be
lost after years of
wearing dentures.
As the smile
is transformed,
so is the patient’s
confidence, and the
way they feel about
themselves.
There
is no
need for
These Lovebite dentures have been handcrafted by internationally-renowned
dental technician Richard Greenlees to closely resemble natural teeth, resulting
in a beautiful smile, tailored to the patient’s character and individuality.
dentures to look false. Richard takes a great
deal of satisfaction in making bespoke
dentures that look 100 percent real and
natural, personally guiding his patients
through the transformation process, to craft
a smile that reflects their individuality and
personality, and recreates their natural predenture
smile.
Richard’s vast experience includes 15 years
running his own clinic in the prestigious
Harley St, London, where he treated people
from all walks of life, from barrow boys to
the rich and famous, politicians, actors and
musicians.
His techniques are recognised as worldleading
amongst his international peers
and he is regularly asked to lecture and run
courses worldwide.
Miles Cone (DMD, MS, FACP, CDT),
a prosthodontist from Oregon, US, said
in November 2015: “Richard Greenlees’
craftsmanship is as stunning as it is
unique. There is liberation in the calculated
imperfection, indeed an asperity that reflects
a purely human element”.
In addition to dentures, Richard also
carries out crown and bridge, veneer and
implant work, in conjunction with likeminded
dental surgeons who complement
his creative and aesthetic work.
“Teeth are as different as fingerprints and
vary greatly depending on a person’s age,
sex and race. Dentures from Lovebite reflect
this, and are as unique and individual as the
people they are made for,” says Richard.
There is nothing more satisfying for
Richard, than to see his patients leave the
Lovebite studio with their self-confidence
and identity restored, as well as their smile.

A natural approach to health
WARNING: A hot paint-stripping
gun and dry wood is a dangerous
combination.
Take care when
stripping paint
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk
Management Officer
ABOUT ONCE a year we get called to a
house that has been set on fire with a paint
stripping heat gun.
Of course, houses that have paint of
so many coats and thickness that they
require a heat gun, are normally made of
timber, generally many years old and dry
as a bone.
We had one of these fires on Tuesday in
Jutland St, North New Brighton.
Thankfully, this time the occupants of
the house noticed the wisps of smoke and
called the Fire Service nice and early. So
that a garden hose and a thermal imaging
camera check for hot spots were all that
was needed.
Sometimes the result is much worse. It
pays to check for any gaps between weatherboards
before starting.
Birds or rodent nests in wall cavities are
often responsible for fire development.
Don’t burn your house down trying to
improve it.
Smoke was also seen seeping out of a
house by neighbours in Skipton St, Mairehau,

What do you consider to be the main
moderator of your health? Do you consider
what you eat to be the number one
influence on the way your body operates,
or is it the amount and type of exercise?
Maybe you feel that the way you handle
or deal with the stress of modern life to
be the major determinant in how well and
healthy you are. It could be that you feel
there is a more spiritual component at
play or that your genes or family history
determines your health. What about
health literacy? Is there a correlation
between your knowledge of your own
body’s workings and how healthy you
are? Health literacy is about having the
ability to obtain, understand and process
information and services related to health
and to make appropriate health decisions
based on this knowledge. All of these
things play an important role in health and
obviously some will have more of a role
than others depending on the individual.
How you understand and choose to
deal with your health is a complex issue
involving many influences. As a natural
health practitioner I see my role as being

Pain management
Living with pain can be the hardest part
of living with arthritis. For some forms of
arthritis, the cause of the pain is often not
well understood.
There are over 620,000 New Zealanders
living with a diagnosis of arthritis. That’s
one in six, but one in two is over 75 years
of age.
Arthritis-related pain causes significant
difficulties for many people. They find
that it impacts on their ability to conduct
everyday activities and to live life as fully
as possible. Sleeping at night becomes a
challenge and for many they hide their pain
from family and friends.
It’s important that those with arthritis
pain seek advice from their GP, pharmacist
or an Arthritis Educator.
SOUTHERN VIEW
Pain management programmes, (such as
those held by Arthritis New Zealand), tend
to work well for older people. There is a
focus on what you can do rather than what
you cannot do. Pain may limit some of the
things that you can do, but it doesn’t have
to control your life. You can learn ways to
manage your pain. You may have to try
different self-management techniques until
you find what works best for you.
The key points of pain management will
be explored at the Workshops on 19th and
20th April.

Golden Health Care
Golden Healthcare Group’s position at
the forefront of Canterbury’s residential
care services is cemented by a state-ofthe-art
facility being developed at Lady
Wigram Retirement Village.
The concept is to provide hotel-style
accommodation for those residents
who enjoy being part of a vibrant, social
community.
The group has already completed 50
villas with an additional 17 to be completed
by early 2017. Until the full project is
finalised, one of the villas built during
the first stage of construction has been
converted to accommodate social events
such as bowls, happy hours, high teas and
television viewing of sports fixtures.
Once the project is complete, it will
comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and
100 care beds. The proposed facilities will
include a rest home, hospital, and dementia
facilities, and permanent amenities such
as a community centre, Bowling Green,
swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre,
a library, and a hairdressing salon.
The villas will be offered in a
combination of two and three bedrooms
whereas apartment residents will have a
choice between one and two bedrooms.
The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is
a short stroll from The Landing, the central
retail hub of the Wigram Skies subdivision,
and only a short drive to Hornby Mall, the
Hornby Working Men’s Club and the city.
Lady Wigram Retirement Village is
one of eight facilities operated by Golden
Healthcare Group that offer a variety of
residential care services.
The large Christchurch-based group is
a privately owned provider that strives to
support every aspect of aged care.
Rest home care is provided in the Golden
Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest
Home, both of which also encompass
retirement villages. Brookhaven also
has a dementia care unit along with the
dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and
Somerfield rest homes. Furthermore,
the Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated
dementia wing, but the Hoon Hay House
on the same site specialises in mental
health.
Within the facilities, there are plenty
of opportunities to create unique
environments for differing requirements
for residents. Nursing care is provided
by registered nurses, regular scheduled
medical appointments and on-call doctors
ensure residents’ health is well monitored.
An activities co-ordinator ensures residents
will never be bored and they participate in
programmed activities, games, sing-alongs
with performances by visiting entertainers,
library book exchange and exercise
programmes. The group has four vans to
utilise for residents outings.
Each facility has its own kitchen and
offers nutritious home-style meals and
baking, and special diets are catered for.
Golden Healthcare employs 260 at its
facilities which care for about 350 residents.
All staff are highly trained, experienced,
and qualified in their roles.
Each facility offers regular resident and
family meetings to ensure feedback is
encouraged, and dementia facilities also
offer educational evening for families to
understand the dementia process. Respite
care is also provided at all facilities.

Time Honoured Remedy
According to a country Doctor “D.C.
Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider
vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an
important part of a long healthy life. Dr.
Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly
consumed cider vinegar and honey had
excellent health with many putting in a
vigorous day’s work on the farm even when
well into their eighties.
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable
with many patients reporting almost total
relief after taking a course of the cider
vinegar and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use.
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found
regular administration of cider vinegar and
honey at the onset of complaints such as the
common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic
attacks, hay fever, and childhood
diseases such as chicken pox and
measles, was accompanied by an
improvement in the condition with
symptoms either disappearing,
or the conditions were extremely
mild and soon over.
Apple cider vinegar contains
all the goodness of the apple in a
form that is readily accepted by
the body. Scientists have found
over 90 different substances in
ACV, among them 20 important
trace elements, minerals, essential
enzymes, a number of different
acids including malic acid, amino
acids and roughage in the form
of potash and pectin. A scientific
121 Skyhawk Road
study at the Shizuka University in Japan
has proven ACV to have potent antioxidant
benefits (It can destroy free radicals,
which are a major factor in ageing.) and
also the ACV can break down cholesterol
formations in the blood vessels.
ACV and H is a powerful tonic that
also promotes digestion, assimilation of
nutrients and elimination of waste, and
helps neutralize any toxic substances that
enter the body.
It is important to note not all cider
vinegar is made in the traditional way and
results are likely to prove disappointing
with these other vinegars.

SOUTHERN VIEW
Mazda MX-5 offers
thrilling drive
• By Ross Kiddie
WHEN MAZDA first
produced its MX-5
convertible, the concept
was loosely based around
the high performance
Lotus Elan of the 60s.
There’s no denying the
success Mazda has had
with the MX-5, every
generation has been true
to the original, and I don’t
know anyone who isn’t
smitten with the affordable
sports car.
That being the case, I was
a little surprised to find
that the latest generation
model was designed in
collaboration with the
Fiat/Chrysler group. We
are unlikely to see the Fiat
equivalent here in New
Zealand, it’s rumoured
to be a left-hand-drive
model only; but we will
see Abarth versions here
in right-hand-drive, and
it will arrive with a 1.4-
litre turbocharged engine.
Incidentally, Abarth is the
performance arm of Fiat
in Italy.
I’m not here to praise
the Abarth, I doubt that
I’ll ever get a drive of
that vehicle, but what I
do know is that Mazda is
determined not to lose grip
on the popularity of MX-5,
nor its market share, and
have launched it here in
four variations to cater for
all driving tastes. In simple
terms, there is a 1.5-litre
manual model, a 2-litre
manual or automatic, and a
2-litre convertible hardtop.
I’ve driven all but the
hardtop, and have come
to appreciate what Mazda
have done with the MX-5,
it is still the fun, beautifully
balanced sports car
which has a chassis and
suspension that can only be
described as delightful.
This evaluation focuses
on the 2-litre manual,
and it sits in the market
at $46,995. $40,995 will
get you into the 1.5-
litre manual, automatic
transmission on the 2-litre
adds $1500.
Effectively, the engine is
the same, but for bore and
stroke differences which
determine cubic capacity.
The 2-litre model pumps
out 118kW and 200Nm
against 96kW and 150Nm,
and if you add in its weight
of just over 1000kg the
power-to-weight balance
is definitely biased towards
performance.
When you fire up the
Mazda MX-5 you know
you are in for a thrilling
ride; the engine is raspy
MAZDA MX-5: Designed with the Fiat/Chrysler group.
and a little raw, not so
that it’s overbearing, but
it does have sound which
lets you know that there is
something just a little bit
different about the car. It
has always been that way,
it’s just part of the ethos
that harks back to my
introduction, the Lotus
Elan was also vibrant from
under the bonnet.
• Price – Mazda MX-5
Ltd, $46,995
• Dimensions – Length,
3915mm; width,
1735mm; height,
1230mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
rear-wheeldrive,1998cc,
118kW,
200Nm, six-speed
manual.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.6sec
• Fuel usage –
6.9l/100km
Where Mazda has
excelled with the MX-5 is
in its driving dynamics,
you feel so very much a
part of the car, everything
from the short-shifting
gear lever through to the
feel from the suspension
and the way you as a driver
are connected to the rearwheel-drive
feel, the MX-5
involves the driver and
drags him/her tightly to the
elements which make it the
sports machine it is.
In terms of performance,
the MX-5 in 2-litre form
will haul to 100km/h from
a standstill in 6.6sec, and
will make an overtaking
manoeuvre in 4.9sec (80-
120km/h). And at the
same time it will also sip
fuel frugally, Mazda claim
a 6.9l/100km (41mpg)
combined cycle average.
The twin-camshaft, fourcylinder
unit is one from
the new range of SkyActive
engines which have found
their way into most of
Mazda’s current product, it
has character and likes to
be heard; at highway speed
it settles down, but if you
use the power on tap it
is there to entertain
audibly.
The MX-5 is all about
character, and it has a
chassis that delivers one
of the finest handling
sensations you are ever
likely to experience. The
steering is pin-sharp, and
by sitting almost over
the rear axles you get a
lot of feel as to what the
suspension is doing in
relation to the road surface.
Short-wheelbase, rearwheel-drive
cars can be
twitchy at the rear under
power, and the MX-5 is no
exception, but grip through
the 205/45 x 17in sport
specification Bridgestone
Potenza rubber is high and
you really have to work
hard to lose traction. Of
course, that is immediately
arrested through the
traction control electronics,
but the point is the MX-5
can be playful and, as a
buyer, you wouldn’t want
anything less.
I took the test car inland
from Windwhistle almost
all of the way to Lake
Coleridge Village, my
favourite high country
road, and thoroughly
enjoyed the way the MX-5
attacked the corners yet
drives in a fashion which
allows the driver to use its
qualities to full potential.
The driving environment
is one of massive appeal,
everything about the MX-5
is beautifully engineered,
from the cockpit to
lowering the roof down
with one hand in one
easy movement, there is
nothing to criticise, and
the newcomer is true to
the concept which has
made it so successful and
appealing.
Of course, it is a selfish
car, any buyer will only be
able to have one passenger
at a time as it has two seats
only, and that in itself
suggests that everything
about the MX-5 is a little
different.

With Solar PV (Electrical Power Generation)
there are many pit falls and false quick sales
are being made due to misleading television
advertising and badly sold solutions. We at
Tucker Electrical offer true solutions with
full visibility and quality products providing
instant assessment of your actual generation
suitability by a full report.
Did you know you can, if installed correctly,
check each panel is working correctly? Did
you know you can assess/see the total amount
of generation of your system and the instant
position of generation? Many package deals do
not offer this and then you are only guessing
when trying to maximise the use and benefit
of your investment. On a financial return basis
we can show you how a 12% return on your
investment is quite simple.

The facts about
home ventilation
Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need to
be suitably ventilated, either with opening
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1
states: “The objective of this provision is
to safeguard people from illness or loss of
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,
ventilation over opening windows, including
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises
and reduction of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from
outside via the roof space and force the stale air
out through gaps around windows and doors.
The incoming air from these
systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm
in winter or cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It
extracts air from the house and
at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air
pass through a heat exchanger,
which warms incoming air in
winter and cools in summer if
air conditioning is being used.
This means that up to 80% of
the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating or
cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation
systems have been considerably more
expensive than traditional positive pressure
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390
balanced pressure system can be installed for
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure
system.

Our Personal
Shoper Guarante
Your personal shopper picks and packs your groceries as if they
were doing their own shopping - They look for the brightest fruit, the
leanest meat and the most mouth-watering pastries. So rest assured,
everything is handpicked and only the best will do.
We also understand that everyone is different, that’s why you can
leave a note next to any item you order online to ensure your
personal shopper knows exactly what to look for. We’re here to save
you time without compromising on your individual needs, that’s why,
we promise you’ll be satisfied with our service.
