Heavy vehicle concerns 

for Worsleys Rd residents 

• By Noah Graham 

WORSLEYS RD residents are 

concerned their thoroughfare will 

be left to deteriorate because of 

a large number of heavy vehicles 

expected to travel on the road in the 

coming months. 

Timber Group Ltd has contracted 

two companies to log about 243ha 

of trees from the Christchurch Adventure 

Park, which were damaged 

in the Port Hills 

fires. 

During the four 

to five-month 

operation, between 

10-16 trucks are 

expected to drive 

up and down 

Rik Tindall 

Worsleys Rd daily, 

between 7am and 

6pm. 

Worsleys Rd residents are worried 

city council will not monitor 

the roads properly and allow them 

to deteriorate underneath the immense 

loads, Cashmere Residents 

Association Rik Tindall said. 

Residents understood the 

logging needed to be done but were 

concerned city council would not 

keep the road up to a high enough 

standard, as they often neglected 

repairing the road, Mr Tindall said. 

•Turn to page 4 

CONCERNS: About 10 to 16 log trucks will use Cracroft roads daily for the next four to five months and residents are worried city 

council will not properly maintain them.

IT’S FRUSTRATING to have 

heavy trucks rolling up and down 

your street – and today on page 1 

we reveal the annoyance of some 

people in Worsleys Rd. 

They have heavy trucks removing 

logs from the fire-damaged 

Christchurch Adventure Park putting 

pressure on their road. 

But that unfortunately is the 

price people have to pay when 

there is a natural disaster. 

The logs have to come out and 

Worsleys Rd is pretty much the 

only route in and out of the adventure 

park. 

You just got to put up with it. 

In sport today (page 14) we look

Youth crime focus in the east 

In Brief 

• By Andrew King 

YOUTH CRIME and truancy 

are the main focus of a police 

operation in Linwood and other 

eastern suburbs. 

Operation Yeast, shortened 

from youth in the east, will 

target the worst youth offenders 

in an area police have called the 

eastern corridor. 

The eastern corridor runs 

from New Brighton, through 

Linwood, to the central city bus 

exchange. 

“It is about reducing 

opportunities for identified 

youth offenders from 

committing more offences 

through proven methods,” 

Senior Sergeant Stephan 

McDaniel said. 

The methods being used are 

ensuring all matters relating to 

youth are dealt with in a timely 

manner, including youth who 

have been reported missing, 

truancy sweeps in malls, 

libraries and bus terminals, and 

visiting truants at home. 

He said police are working 

with schools in the eastern 

suburbs and Te Ora Hou 

Ōtautahi, which provides 

a student attendance 

support service to state and 

state-integrated schools in 

Canterbury. 

YOUTH CRIME: Senior Sergeant Stephan McDaniel said for our children to have a future they 

need an education. 

PHOTO GEOFF SLOAN 

Te Ora Hou is a network 

of faith-based youth and 

community development 

organisations working with 

young people, their families and 

communities across the country. 

“For our children to have a 

future they need an education,” 

said Senior Sergeant McDaniel. 

Linwood College principal 

Richard Edmundson said 

anything that allows service 

agencies to work together and 

keep youth in school, developing 

a pathway to success, needs to be 

encouraged. 

“There is always a family which 

is harder to reach in terms of 

education, it’s not that they don’t 

want their kids to do well,” he 

said. 

“But it is our responsibility to 

make sure they [students] can see 

how they can succeed.” 

CHURCH RENOVATION 

Renovations on the Opawa 

Baptist Church are expected 

to be completed at the end 

of July. Youth pastor for the 

church, Andrew Wilson, said 

the church is looking forward 

to the completed renovations 

and are trying to have some 

creative ideas for their new 

mezzanine floor. 

ROAD CLOSURES 

Trench digging for ultra-fast 

Broadband installation will 

see some Cashmere roads 

closed for more than a month. 

Overdale Drive, Heaton 

Rhodes Pl and Sulby Rd, as 

well as the section of Dyers 

Pass Rd that connects them, 

will be closed until June 

10. Whareora Tce will be 

closed until May 31 although 

residents will have access at all 

times.

Work starts 

on Woolston 

urban forest 


Tuesday May 16 2017 

WOOLSTON RESIDENTS will 

get their urban forest this year. 

Work to transform the Linwood 

College’s lower fields into 

a forested wetland began last 

month and is expected to be 

completed by September, a city 

council spokeswoman said. 

City council is buying the 

fields, which have not been used 

by the school since the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, from the 

Ministry of Education and will 

be part of the Bell’s Creek flood 

mitigation scheme. 

Thousands of native flora will 

be planted on the 2.7ha site which 

will act as a storage basin, reducing 

flooding in the surrounding 

area and is expected to attract 

native birds back to the Woolston 

area. 

Woolston Community Centre 

co-ordinator Carol Brown said it 

was great news to hear the project 

will be completed this year. 

“I hope it will encourage people 

to go out and go for walks and 

meet their neighbours.” 

She said a lot of people on the 

east side of the city often felt forgotten 

but projects like the urban 

forest helped remedy it. 

Log truck concerns for Worsleys Rd residents 

•From page 1 

“Worsleys Rd is not in good 

condition. It’s narrow, windy 

and hilly – as well as damaged in 

some places.” 

Cracroft Residents Association 

chairman and Worsleys Rd resident 

John Cousins said he feels 

for the residents living near the 

Adventure Park. 

He too was worried city council 

would not look after the road 

properly and was concerned 

the trucks would cause delays 

at the controversial Worsleys, 

Cashmere and Hoon Hay Rds 

intersection. 

Latest Christchurch news at www. 

He said traffic was bad at the 

intersection and the number of 

logging trucks using it each day 

was going to cause more delays. 

A Worsleys Rd resident, who 

did not want to be named, said 

they could understand why some 

residents were worried city council 

would not properly maintain 

the road. 

However, she said there was 

not much that could be done 

to change it and as long as city 

council fixed the road after the 

logging had been completed, she 

had no problems with the trucks. 

Christchurch Adventure Park 

.kiwi 

spokeswoman Anne Newman 

said she had spoken to residents 

and there were concerns over 

truck movements along Worsleys 

Rd. 

She said the logging companies 

were imposing a 20km/h 

to 30km/h speed limit on their 

drivers and would ensure there 

is only one logging truck on the 

road at any given time. 

City councillor Phil Clearwater 

said there will no doubt 

be some wear and tear that will 

require repair and the road 

would need monitoring – which 

he believed city council would. 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

GIFT TO MOTHER NATURE: The 

TimberNook Christchurch Going Wild 

kids were some of the 720 volunteers 

who braved cold weather and helped 

clean up the Heathcote River and 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary on Saturday 

as part of the annual Mother of All 

Clean Ups. During the day about 725 

bags of rubbish were collected along 

with 250 large loose items which varied 

from mattresses, televisions to even an 

unopened bottle of champagne. 

City council road maintenance 

manager Mark Pinner said 

Worsleys Rd is a public road and 

therefore is able to carry normal 

(class 1) heavy vehicles such as 

the log trucks. 

He said the road was a relatively 

low volume road apart from 

the increase in traffic when the 

Adventure Park was opened. 

“We will continue to monitor, 

as we do for all roads, and will 

undertake repairs, to maintain 

safety and/or protect the asset, 

to the same priority that is 

applied across all our network,” 

he said.

Park ready in November 


SYDENHAM PARK will 

be back in use by the end of 

November. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the park 

was damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake and repairs 

were now being done. 

The Sydenham 

Rugby Club is 

excited about the 

improvements, 

senior club 

captain Andrew 

Lynn said. 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

Mr Lynn said 

since the repair 

work began, the 

team had played their home 

games on Addington Park and 

on Hagley Park’s Hospital Corner 

field. 

However, Mr Lynn said it 

had not affected training much 

because they would usually practice 

at Hansen Park, Waltham 

Park and Barrington Park. 

He said they did not practice at 

Sydenham Park before the work 

began because there were no 

lights and in the winter it would 

be too dark. 

Mr Lynn said the players were 

looking forward to the grounds 

being completed. 

PROGRESS: Repair work at Sydenham Park is well under way and will be completed by 

November 30.

COMMUNITY PATROL 

The Somerfield Residents 

Association and Spreydon 

Neighbourhood Network are 

encouraging people to get 

involved with the Christchurch 

South Community Patrol. SRA 

chairwoman Julie Tobbell said 

communities helping to monitor 

their areas could be a good, 

proactive solution to problems 

like vandalism in Somerfield and 

Sydenham. To get involved phone 

Dave Scott on 021 295 2342. 

SURVEY FEEDBACK SOUGHT 

Feedback is being sought from 

Spreydon and Cashmere residents 

about what heritage means for their 

community and its future. The 

Future of Heritage Survey closes 

on May 22 and the response and 

summary of the survey will be 

reported to the city council’s Social 

and Community Development 

Committee in August. Go to ccc. 

govt.nz/the-council/have-your-say/ 

consultations/show/15 or through 

city council’s Facebook page. 

POOL NEEDS SUPPORT 

The Addington Neighbourhood 

Association is seeking to get a 

paddling pool in Barrington Park. 

Chairwoman Sarah McKenzie said 

other suburbs have easy access to 

paddling pools and it would be 

handy to have one in Spreydon. She 

is seeking support for the idea.

Toy car charity puts a smile 

on Woolston boy’s face 

CAR FUN: Izack Lidget loves the engine noises of his new toy 

car and is learning to control it using a remote control. 

PHOTO: DOLCE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 

VOLUNTEER-RUN charity 

Gobabygo has adapted a ride-in 

electric toy BMW for 18-monthold 

Izack Lidget. 

The Garden City and 

Riccarton Rotary branches 

paid for the car and supplied 

volunteers at the handover, 

which took place at 

Christchurch BMW. 

Gobabygo board member 

Bruce Jackson said three toy cars 

were handed over to children. 

Mr Jackson said Izack, who 

lives in Woolston, warmed his 

heart. 

“He may be profoundly disabled, 

but he was aware he was in 

the car and loved the sounds – 

his face was a picture.” 

Also in the driver’s seat was 

six-year-old Laszlo Walker, who 

has cerebral palsy. 

He can’t walk by himself, 

which makes it harder to play 

with his mates at lunchtime. 

Mr Jackson said Laszlo, of 

Phillipstown, was immediately 

keen. 

“He . . . will be driving himself 

the moment he’s more confident, 

though he doesn’t like reverse at 

this stage.” 

Mr Jackson thanked the Rotary 

members who turned out to 

help, including car builder and 

fitter, John Harrington, as well 

as Len Holland and Russell Pen. 

He also thanked the staff of 

Christchurch BMW. 

Gobabygo is a national charity, 

which adapts and donates toy 

cars throughout New Zealand. 

Chief executive Gilli Sinclair 

said: “Thanks to generous supporters 

and donors, and to the 

wonderful work Rotary is doing 

raising funds for us, we’ve been 

able to import another container 

of cars, ready to adapt. All we 

need now is the kids.”

disability who might benefit

Call for playground 

equipment upgrades 


EQUIPMENT IN Waltham, 

Woolston, Bromley and Linwood 

parks is in need of an upgrade. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

submitted in support of funding 

to be allocated for much-needed 

equipment that children, young 

people and adults can use on the 

parks. 

Community board member 

Alexandra Davids said the equipment 

in the parks was out of date 

and needed updating. 

“When you look at parks in our 

area they seem to be quite old.” 

She said the parks did not 

encourage families to go to them 

because there was not much that 

appealed to families. 

Ms Davids said they needed an 

overhaul as they were not providing 

the community with the 

services they should be. 

“Some of the equipment is 

not appropriate. They’re not fit 

for purpose – they’re a waste of 

space,” Ms Davids said. 

She said city council parks staff 

will be at the next community 

board meeting tomorrow and 

hoped an outline of the future 

would be decided on. 

They would give an update on 

what the options were going forward 

and the board can approach 

the projects, she said. 

Ms Davids said once an 

expected timeline was sorted it 

meant they could start thinking 

about plans.

day-to-day tasks. 

She said had not spent a lot of 

time on a farm before and had 

not expected so much practical 

work. 

“I really didn’t realise all of the 

things that needed to happen and 

all of the decisions that need to be 

made on-farm every day.” 

Bella said the programme had 

been a fantastic experience and 

had opened her eyes to the career 

possibilities in the agricultural 

sector. 

“It was so much fun and I’m so 

glad I did it.” 

After their week on the farm 

the pupils came together on the 

last day and were taken on a field 

trip to a range of mid-Canterbury 

agricultural companies. 

The programme was an initiative 

by the Rabobank’s client 

council. 

FARM LIFE: Riccarton High School pupil Jack 

Goodgame, host farm equity partner and farm 

manager Rodney Booth, Cashmere High School 

pupil Bella Howe and host family Rowen and 

Margaret Manson spent the week working together 

on the farm as the students took part in a Farm 

Experience programme.

Aiyana Manson-King (tuba) and Briana Steven 

(percussion) relished their opportunity to work 

alongside Australian conductor Natalia Raspopova 

as they took part in rehearsals with the New Zealand

appreciated the chance to perform in the Charles 

Luney Auditorium, school arts co-ordinator Euan 

Quaid said. 

Christchurch Girls’ High School’s year 10 science 

classes recently visited the engineering department 

at Canterbury University. The students were taken 

to the new structural engineering lab and were 

shown how buildings can be designed to withstand 

earthquakes.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Loving your independence? 

Could this be you? 

Sally was referred to an Occupational 

Therapist (OT) as she was struggling 

to hear on the phone and was losing 

contact with her family and friends, 

she was wanting any help that could be 

useful following challenges since her car 

accident. 

She has: 

Ankylosing spondylitis (which is an 

illness that stiffens up the joints), 

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and is a 

little hard of hearing. 

Fracture in her upper back from a car 

accident in 2015 

Sally lives in a two storied home on a hill 

in native bush with her husband. 

She loves her home and gardening. 

Due to a combination of Ankylosing 

spondylitis and the recent upperback 

fracture Sally has a forward flexed spine, 

requiring her to bend her knees to look 

up. 

The OT visited Sally in her own home 

and covered the following info on the 

first assessment: 

Energy conserving techniques 

Regular postural changes to self manage 

back discomfort 

Problem solving Sally’s kitchen set up to 

minimise bending and reaching 

Problem solved better phone options and 

also where to buy a cordless amplified 

phone 

Adjusting her office set up to optimise 

function when using computer 

Having raised garden beds and garden 

pots on her deck, 

Changes in social life since accident 

and covered the five ways to Mental 

Wellbeing to maximise mental wellness. 

Sally feels very connected to her two 

storied home, which is surrounded by 

native bush, situated on a hill. The OT 

discussed the challenges and solutions to 

remain living in this home long term and 

provided insights into ways to manage 

this including the potential of living on 

one level, use of the community van and 

possible bathroom adaptations. 

Summary from Sally’s perspective: 

Sally reports that she was delighted with 

the services as: 

- the OT came to her house and at a 

time of day and day of week that suited 

Sally best. 

- there was no waiting for the service - 

seen within the week of referral. 

- it was so affordable - $135 assessment 

and advice 

- she received good advice that 

immediately changed her daily life 

(so much more than improving 

communication by phone) 

- she now has clear understanding 

of both the challenges and solutions 

that may lie ahead of her. 

- This resulted in less worry about 

the future 

- She was impressed that the 

discussion involved her love for 

nature (still be able to enjoy her 

garden) and that it was not limited 

to immediate need and safety 

She expressed that she feels more 

confident about staying in her much 

loved home. She is aware of how 

to access future input from the OT 

who now knows her well.

Auction 1st June 2017 Unless Sold Prior 

My vendor has paid the deposit on his new home and doesn’t 

need two homes! Now priced below RV this must be an excellent 

buy in such a highly-regarded suburb. 

Located down a quiet lane amongst other quality homes, this 

house will no doubt be the happy home for the next owner for 

many years to come. 

While some minor redecoration would enhance you can move 

in and enjoy this well designed home with a spacious open plan 

kitchen dining room leading on to large lounge. Good indoor 

outdoor flow is a good bonus for these warm sunny days. 

Just enough garden to for those who would like a vegetable plot 

and some roses perhaps whilst still not being too large to make it 

onerous to maintain. A lovely private courtyard area is a sheltered 

spot to enjoy perhaps a BBQ and entertain your friends.

SPORTS 

Teen runs 

personal 

best in half 

marathon 


LONG DISTANCE running is 

in Nina Ericson’s genes and she 

showed it by winning the junior 

section of the Hanmer Four 

Square Half Marathon recently. 

Now she will 

turn her attention 

to the Christchurch 

Marathon where 

she plans on running 

in the 10km 

race on June 4. 

Nina 

Ericson 

The 13-year-old 

from Christchurch 

Rudolf Steiner 

School clocked her 

best ever half marathon time in 

Hanmer of 2hr 18min when she 

competed on May 6. 

“I had sore legs as I sprinted 

across the line, but I was very 

happy to finish in the time I did,” 

she said. 

She is a member of the Port Hills 

Athletic Club and goes for regular 

runs with her father, Arne, who 

used to run ultra-marathons. 

Hard-working guard in NZ squad 


CASHMERE HIGH’S Okirano 

Tilaia has been selected for 

the New Zealand under-16 

basketball team. 

Tilaia will travel to Perth with 

the national age group squad in 

July to compete in the Australian 

state championships. 

He said it was a real honour to 

be included in the team and felt 

it was well deserved. 

“I feel like all the hard work, 

the early morning training and 

the sacrifices I’ve made have paid 

off,” he said. 

His time is filled with basketball, 

including three school 

games and four trainings 

crammed into a week. 

“Someday I just need to take a 

day off to let my body recover,” 

he said. 

The 1.85m shooting guard has 

a fellow Cantabrian in the squad 

with St Andrew’s Sam Jenkins 

selected in the team. 

“We just know what each others 

strengths and weakness are. 

I attack the rim and he shoots, 

so if I can find him on the perimeter, 

I hit him,” he said. 

Basketball is a real passion of 

Tilaia, but he said getting a good 

job to support his family is his 

main goal. 

“I would love to travel the 

world and do some volunteering 

and have a go at being a youth 

ambassador,” he said. 

TO THE RIM: Cashmere 

High’s Okirano Tilaia has 

been included in the national 

under-16 basketball team. 

Cashmere looking to continue winning form 


CASHMERE WILL attempt to 

build on their winning start to 

the season when they take on 

Burnside tomorrow. 

With two wins from two in 

the Connetics schools premier 

first XI competition, Cashmere 

is looking forward to the battle 

at 5.45pm at the Christchurch 

Football Centre. 

Co-coach Craig Squire said 

while they are finding the back 

of the net on a consistent basis, 

stopping the opposition from 

doing the same is the key to 

winning matches. 

“Burnside are a good side 

and they are well coached, so 

we have to be very tight defensively,” 

he said. 

“We would like to have a few 

less scored against us this week, 

so that’s what we will be working 

on.” 

Cashmere scored four over 

St Andrew’s last week, three of 

which were scored by captain 

Lyle Matthysen.

Ultimate campus for 

Avonside and Shirley 

More than six years after earthquakes 

damaged their existing schools, Avonside 

Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High 

School are looking forward to moving to 

a cutting-edge campus on QEII Park. 

The design for the new schools has 

only recently been released. 

Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume 

says being able to start from scratch has 

enabled the architects to come up with 

the ‘ultimate campus’. 

“It features better facilities than either 

of our schools has ever had in the past. 

We are very excited at the educational 

opportunities this will enable us to offer 

our students.” 

Shirley Boys’ High School Headmaster 

John Laurenson says the schools will 

continue to deliver quality single sex 

education. 

“Students will spend most of their 

day in a single sex environment – that 

is really important to us. Single sex

education benefits both boys and girls. 

Our students will also benefit, both 

educationally and socially, from being 

able to learn alongside and mix with 

students from the partner school. It is a 

fantastic opportunity.” 

Among the major facilities are a large 

Performing Arts Centre (with a 750-seat 

and a 100-seat theatre), three full-sized 

Gyms (complete with climbing wall), a 

Cultural Space and four Sportsfields. 

Each school will also have a long list of 

specialist learning facilities. Highlights 

include an Electronics Lab, Recording 

Studios, Editing Suites, a 2D and 3D 

Printing Room, six Science Labs and 

an Indoor Fitness Centre (complete 

with exercise equipment including

treadmills). 

The schools are due to open on their 

new sites in time for Term Two of 2019. 

Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

For those who love reading and want to share in discussion with other friendly book lovers, 

should go along to the Book Discussion Group at South Library every third Wednesday of each 

month from 7.15-8.15pm. The group subscribes to the Book Discussion Scheme. Bookings are 

required.

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

Making a difference to sick 

kids through the airwaves 

• By Sarla Donovan 

FLAME FILES

management officer 

A COUPLE of years ago I 

went to a house fire in the 

Heathcote Valley where 

low sunshine through a 

window had refracted from 

a small concave mirror 

sitting on a coffee table, 

setting fire to the adjacent 

couch and causing a lot of 

damage. 

If I remember rightly it 

occurred at about this time 

of year. 

It seems that the lower 

trajectory of the sun is a 

factor. 

What happened in Thurso 

Pl, North New Brighton, 

last Thursday was even 

more bizarre. 

The occupant had been 

out and came home just 

before lunchtime to the 

distinct smell of smoke in 

the house. 

They quite wisely called 

111. 

Wainoni and New 

Brighton crews attended. 

They found a vacuum 

cleaner beside a small piece 

of scorched carpet. 

It was evident sunlight 

was still refracting off, 

of all things, the slightly 

concave chrome wheel hub 

of the cleaner at a temperature 

hot enough to start the 

carpet burning. 

If this had resulted in a 

full house fire I doubt the

There are people still using

It’s understandable. 

Once the gas bottle is full 

there’s instant heat for what 

seems a long time. 

But these things release 

carbon monoxide and

They’re also expensive.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice.

installation and servicing of all major brands

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 

Remove 

cooking smells 

and steam! 

Remote 

extraction fans 

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.

Exercise 

sharpens young 

adult brains 

Regular physical activity improves brain function 

even in young adults considered in their prime and 

at the height of cognitive ability, according to a 

University of Otago study. 

A 

body of research already exists 

showing aerobic exercise 

improves brain function in 

older adults, but there is a 

limited amount of literature on how it 

affects young adults. 

The Otago researchers, led by 

Department of Psychology Senior 

Lecturer Dr Liana Machado, set out to 

test the oft-held belief that the brains of 

young adults in their prime might not 

benefit as much as older people from 

regular sustained exercise. 

They took 52 tertiary students, aged 

between 18 to 30, and put them through 

a series of cognitive tests on a computer 

while measuring oxygen availability in 

the frontal lobe of their brains, as well as 

their self-reported exercise frequency. 

Dr Machado says their “surprising” 

findings, just published online in the 

journal Psychophysiology, show that 

both blood supply to the brain and 

cognitive functioning appear to benefit 

from regular exercise in young adults. 

“This provides compelling evidence 

that regular exercise, at least five days per 

week, is a way to sharpen our cognitive 

ability as young adults – challenging 

the assumption that living a sedentary 

lifestyle leads to problems only later in 

life,” she says. 

The research also provides potential 

insight into understanding why people 

who regularly engage in aerobic exercise 

tend to function better on a cognitive 

level. 

“I think the idea that young people do 

not have to worry about exercising since 

they are in their prime developmentally 

is rapidly being overturned by mounting 

evidence that even the brains of young 

adults can benefit from regular exercise,” 

she says. 

“The exercise could involve brisk 

walking or more vigorous activity, and 

could be made up of a few 10 minute 

bouts of exercise, rather than one single 

block of exercise,” she says. 

The researchers also found that body 

mass index was not a key factor in how 

well the brain functioned, indicating that 

regular engagement in physical activity 

may be more important than body 

weight. 

Dr Machado says she had noticed 

over the years that university students 

appeared progressively less fit. 

“I wondered whether we might find 

significant relationships between exercise 

levels, oxygen availability in the brain, 

and cognition in the young adults, but 

no studies had considered this in healthy 

young adults.” 

These findings come at a time of 

increased scientific focus on links 

between exercise and cognitive health in 

older adults.

QUEEN: 

IT’S A KINDA MAGIC 

RETURNS 

Aer an overwhelming reception from New Zealand 

audiences in 2015, Showtime Australia and Peter Freestone are 

bringing their huge theatrical Rock concert Queen: It's a Kinda 

Magic back to NZ, appearing at the Horncastle Arena on 

ursday 1st June. 

Capturing the imagination of Queen fans both locally and 

internationally, Director Johnny Van Grinsven attributes the 

show's continued success to the attention-to-detail; everything 

from the costumes, instruments and even the lighting cues have 

been designed to replicate those seen in real Queen concerts. 

Making Queen: It's A Kinda Magic extraordinarily authentic is 

the involvement of Peter Freestone, Freddie Mercury's best 

friend, biographer, assistant and constant companion for the 

nal 12 years of his life. As Production Consultant, Freestone 

has schooled the cast and producers on the characters and 

nuances of the original band in order to perfect the 

performance. 

“We're extremely lucky to have Peter involved. He knows 

Freddie and the boys so well; his knowledge about who they are 

and how they moved and played and even their sense of 

humour has really helped take this show to the next level,” says 

Johnny Van Grinsven. 

Another highly impressive member of the ensemble is 

principal musician Giles Taylor who steps on stage as Freddie 

Mercury, and does so as the only tribute performer in the world 

who sings and plays both piano and guitar live on stage. 

Though piano and vocals have been a mainstay in Taylor's 

repertoire since his childhood, he taught himself guitar 

specically for the role of Mercury. 

Supporting Taylor for this mammoth stage production are 

Australians Richie Baker as Brian May on guitar and Kyle 

ompson as Roger Taylor on drums, as well as South Africa's 

Steven Dennett as John Deacon on bass. 

Tickets on sale at Ticketek.
