Mega season ahead for yacht club<br />

HELPING HAND: Ferrymead Mitre 10 Mega’s Tony Franc with the new mainsails.<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE RAIN cleared to sunny<br />

skies and warm north-east<br />

winds, perfect conditions for<br />

Christchurch Yacht Club’s<br />

season opener on Saturday<br />

afternoon.<br />

The formal launch got under<br />

way at noon with an update on<br />

recent developments at the club,<br />

the raising of the club flag, a<br />

glass of champagne and a light<br />

lunch.<br />

Competition followed at 1pm<br />

with about 40 boats racing on<br />

the day.<br />

Six bright orange mainsail sets<br />

donated by Ferrymead Mitre 10<br />

Mega could be spied bobbing out<br />

on the water.<br />

The sails on the club’s optimist<br />

boats, used for learn to sail<br />

classes, were old and worn out so<br />

Mitre 10 offered to replace them,<br />

said club commodore Richard<br />

Ineson.<br />

“These new ones are nice and<br />

bright, good for training. When<br />

the boats go out, they’re easy to<br />

distinguish.”<br />

Numbers at the opening event<br />

were excellent, he said.<br />

After a fall-off in membership<br />

following the earthquakes,<br />

numbers had stabilised and were<br />

now in a growth pattern.<br />

Learn to sail classes start next<br />

week and were full.<br />

The recent success of Team<br />

New Zealand’s campaign had<br />

helped to bring the sport of<br />

yachting back to the forefront.<br />

bus lounge<br />

solution<br />

a work in<br />

SOLUTIONS TO ongoing<br />

problems at the Riccarton bus<br />

lounge will drag on for some time<br />

yet.<br />

The lounge, on the corner of<br />

Riccarton Rd and Division St, has<br />

been plagued with youth issues<br />

since it opened in December 2015.<br />

It was revealed last week that<br />

a number of recommendations<br />

from a working party were to be<br />

discussed at the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

meeting on Tuesday night –<br />

including more police presence in<br />

the area.<br />

The working party consisting<br />

of board members, business and<br />

landowners, police, community<br />

groups and residents’ association<br />

representatives have made recommendations,<br />

which the Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board received at its meeting last<br />

week.<br />

Three recommendations were<br />

approved by the community<br />

board and will go to the city<br />

council for further discussion.<br />

These are an additional police<br />

presence, a bylaw which would<br />

allow arrests and instant fines to be<br />

issued and continued assistance for<br />

business owners when removing<br />

graffiti. •Turn to page 5<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

WHAT AN election it’s going to be<br />

on Saturday night.<br />

The best and potentially the closest<br />

in many years, and one which<br />

will shape the country’s future for<br />

sometime.<br />

Star Media, publisher of the<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong>, will be following<br />

the election on our website www.<br />

star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters<br />

out on the street and bringing<br />

you latest updates through the<br />

afternoon and into the night.<br />

The Star on Thursday will also<br />

have an in-depth election preview.<br />

The polls clearly show people<br />

have shifted to voting for either National<br />

and Labour and this could<br />

spell doom for many smaller party<br />

politicians who have made it into<br />

Parliament on the back of MMP.<br />

Indications are voter turnout<br />

will be high and which ever party<br />

mobilises its supporters best on<br />

Saturday will win.<br />

Lights ease congestion<br />

Fashion<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

NEW TRAFFIC lights Halswell Junction Rd have<br />

been given the thumbs up by<br />

Prebbleton residents who now<br />

say getting into work is quicker.<br />

The signals designed to ease<br />

the congestion at the Halswell<br />

Gardening<br />

Junction and Springs Rds<br />

roundabout were switched on<br />

last Thursday morning.<br />

Resident Karen Webb said the<br />

lights have cut down her commute<br />

by about half the time.<br />

“It is certainly an improvement<br />

until Rolleston traffic finds<br />

out about it and stops using<br />

Shands Rd and it will be back to<br />

Motoring<br />

normal,” she said.<br />

Another Prebbleton resident<br />

Graham Pye said the new traffic<br />

signals have improved traffic<br />

congestion considerably.<br />

“Funny enough there seems<br />

to be more traffic coming across<br />

Springs Rd. That seems to be<br />

holding up Halswell Junction<br />

Rd traffic . . . they might need<br />

Tasty<br />

to tweak timings on Halswell<br />

Bites<br />

Junction Rd,” he said.<br />

NZ Transport Agency journey<br />

manager Lee Wright said NZTA<br />

will be monitoring the lights<br />

every day over the next couple of<br />

HELPFUL: New lights switched on at the Halswell Junction<br />

and Springs Rds roundabout.<br />

weeks and getting feedback from<br />

customers and road users on the<br />

lights.<br />

A Prebbleton resident herself,<br />

Ms Wright said she left work<br />

15min later than usual and got<br />

through the intersection in<br />

about 5min.<br />

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS ​<br />

Until now traffic has been<br />

backed up from the roundabout<br />

to close to the Prebbleton shops.<br />

Prebbleton Community Association<br />

Committee chairman<br />

Peter Hunter said anything to<br />

improve traffic time through the<br />

intersection is a bonus.<br />

The $150,000 project was<br />

designed to reduce delays for<br />

people and bus passengers<br />

on Springs Rd heading to<br />

Christchurch by about 8min,<br />

while the Christchurch <strong>Southern</strong><br />

Motorway Stage 2 is under<br />

construction.<br />

Often traffic is backed up for<br />

more than 2km while people<br />

wait for a safe gap to enter the<br />

roundabout.<br />

new traffic lights at Halswell<br />

along with a large pile of tree<br />

branches and debris,” Soroptimist<br />

president Yvonne Flitcroft<br />

said.<br />

She said it was very satisfying<br />

to see the end result as the area<br />

is frequently used by walkers,<br />

joggers, dog walkers and<br />

cyclists.<br />

“Residents behind the reserve<br />

were very appreciative of the<br />

effort made and one resident,<br />

Mark, assisted us with the rubbish<br />

A new sign explaining the significance<br />

a salt marsh and riparian area<br />

lying between Ferry and Tunnel<br />

Forest and Bird maintains the<br />

area with input from the city<br />

council and community groups.<br />

Heathcote ward city councillor<br />

Sara Templeton was at the<br />

official opening of the project.<br />

Her daughter has been<br />

involved through her local<br />

guide group, which has planted<br />

swathes of ngaio over the past<br />

few years.<br />

She complimented Forest and<br />

Bird on the work done so far.<br />

“I’m looking forward to all<br />

the groups working together on<br />

a range of challenges including<br />

educating dog owners and the<br />

wider public about the native<br />

wildlife present in the area and<br />

how to protect it.”<br />

Mick Ingram the volunteer<br />

manager of the Calder Green<br />

Reserve project is designing<br />

habitat to suit all the wildlife<br />

of the area and has a particular<br />

soft-spot for lizards.<br />

He’s hopeful that as people<br />

visit the reserve and learn more<br />

about the area, “they will come<br />

to love its quiet serenity as I do.”<br />

“The hope is more people will<br />

become kaitiaki (caretakers) of<br />

this stretch of river and help its<br />

wildlife thrive into the future,”<br />

New traps and bait to help<br />

pupils step up conservation<br />

n TRAPS AND bait worth about<br />

$8000 will help reduce rat,<br />

possum and stoat populations<br />

on Banks Peninsula.<br />

The Little River Trap Library<br />

and Lyttleton Primary School<br />

have been given more than 50<br />

traps by the Department of<br />

Conservation.<br />

ning<br />

Conservation Minister<br />

Maggie Barry and Associate<br />

Conservation Minister Nicky<br />

Wagner presented the traps at<br />

a Predator Free 2050 event last<br />

week.<br />

Lyttelton Primary School<br />

received 15 traps, including five<br />

possum traps from the Lyttelton<br />

Port Company.<br />

ing<br />

The school plans to start<br />

trapping on land above the<br />

township that’s owned by LPC.<br />

Said Ms Barry: “The easyto-use<br />

traps will enable the<br />

school children to take their<br />

conservation work to the next<br />

level.”<br />

The Little River Trap Library<br />

was the first of its kind in New<br />

ites<br />

Zealand and lends traps for free<br />

to people wanting to protect<br />

wildlife on their properties<br />

It was given 40 traps and bait,<br />

CONSERVATION: Lyttelton Primary School pupils Maia, Rose,<br />

Zoey and Ridley with some of the traps they received from<br />

DOC and the Lyttelton Port Company.<br />

enabling it to continue its work.<br />

Ms Barry said the two projects<br />

were examples of “collaboration<br />

and tireless dedication,” helping<br />

to eradicate predators and create<br />

pockets of safe habitat.<br />

Ms Wagner said there were<br />

signs the programme was already<br />

having an impact.<br />

“Tui are beginning to prosper<br />

on the peninsula and the whiteflippered<br />

penguin colony in Flea<br />

Bay/Pohatu has doubled in size<br />

since this work began,”<br />

“Eventually I believe these<br />

predator-free areas will expand<br />

to cover the whole of Lyttelton,<br />

Banks Peninsula, wider<br />

Christchurch and beyond. I’m<br />

confident that by 2050 we’ll have<br />

a rat, stoat and possum-free New<br />

Zealand,” Ms Wagner said.<br />

Bus lounge problems<br />

•From page 1<br />

The other 16 recommendations<br />

board for discussion in a month’s<br />

Fashion<br />

Local businesses have declined<br />

time.<br />

to comment on the issue but<br />

community board deputy chairwoman<br />

Helen Broughton said the<br />

situation is not ideal.<br />

“It’s quite hard to pass a lot<br />

of recommendations at a board<br />

meeting. My guess is we will have<br />

a workshop on them first,” Mrs<br />

Gardening<br />

Broughton said.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Mike Mora said he thinks the<br />

community board is doing its<br />

best.<br />

“We’re going as quick as we<br />

can. There are laws in place now<br />

if somebody breaches trespass<br />

orders the police are contacted,”<br />

Mr Mora said.<br />

Motoring<br />

No police were at the community<br />

board meeting but Constable<br />

Aaron Thorn said “the city council<br />

talks about trespassing, they<br />

seem to think we have the power<br />

to trespass anyone from anywhere<br />

but we can only trespass<br />

people from a private area.”<br />

“They seem to think we have<br />

problem is we have to prove the<br />

person is about to commit an<br />

offence which can be quite difficult,”<br />

Constable Thorn said.<br />

Removing WiFi is not going<br />

to be solution to the anti-social<br />

behaviour.<br />

The community board has<br />

taken away the word ‘removing’<br />

and replaced it with ‘using’ in the<br />

WiFi recommendation.<br />

The amended recommendation<br />

reads – The Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

request staff to report back to the<br />

board on the viability and implications<br />

of using the free WiFi<br />

from the Riccarton bus lounge.<br />

City councillor Vicki Buck<br />

said the wording needed to be<br />

changed because the city council<br />

is trying to extend WiFi connections<br />

in central<br />

city. “Installing WiFi along Riccarton<br />

Rd is a good idea. WiFi<br />

is a basic thing now. It should<br />

be on buses. I’m not in favour of<br />

removing access to the internet,”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

WWE superfans<br />

meet wrestling idol<br />

n<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

ZEINAT ALEBEL almost broke<br />

down in tears when she met her<br />

WWE professional wrestling<br />

idol, Dean Ambrose.<br />

The 18-year-old Sockburn<br />

resident would describe herself<br />

as a wrestling super fan.<br />

ning<br />

Which was proved after she<br />

and her sister Sofiya, 14, lined<br />

up from 7am at The Hub Hornby<br />

for the chance to meet Raw<br />

tag team champion, Ambrose.<br />

“My heart is racing,” she said.<br />

Zeinat got Ambrose to sign<br />

her<br />

ng<br />

cellphone, which she said<br />

was now one of her favourite<br />

possessions.<br />

After the 3pm meet and greet,<br />

the teens went to WWE Live at<br />

Horncastle Arena – the only live<br />

wrestling event in the country.<br />

Zeinat said seeing WWE Live<br />

was seven years in the making.<br />

“Last time we saw them I was<br />

11 and<br />

ites<br />

Sofiya was 7.”<br />

But she said they’d both been<br />

watching on television for as<br />

long as they can remember, if<br />

not longer.<br />

“I’ve been watching since<br />

<strong>19</strong>99 and I was born in <strong>19</strong>99,”<br />

She, along with almost 300<br />

other fans, lined up from 7am to<br />

get the wrist bands that would<br />

see them meet Ambrose later in<br />

the day and get his signature.<br />

Zeinat said she and Sofiya<br />

went to The Hub early for the<br />

meet and greet.<br />

“It was so worth it,” she said.<br />

ARTIST RUBY Williams<br />

stood on the workshop floor of<br />

ENI Engineering in Halswell’s<br />

industrial outskirts.<br />

It might not seem like a place<br />

for creating art but the 15-yearold<br />

Villa Maria College student<br />

couldn’t wipe the smile off her<br />

face.<br />

Ruby saw the sculpture she<br />

designed as part of the SCAPE<br />

Public Art season for the first<br />

time.<br />

“It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I<br />

had in mind. Absolutely perfect,”<br />

she said.<br />

The mammoth steel branch,<br />

which will be fixed to a tree in<br />

Hagley Park, was shaped by ENI<br />

engineer Paul Bacon.<br />

It’s not something he gets to do<br />

very often.<br />

Ruby picked out the “pinkypurple”<br />

shade it will be painted,<br />

become successful artist<br />

saying it represented her personality.<br />

Ruby’s mum Breda said her<br />

“budding artist” had been waiting<br />

eagerly to see the sculpture<br />

all day. She was “so, so proud” of<br />

her daughter.<br />

Ruby won the chance to see<br />

her sketches come to life after<br />

winning the senior section of the<br />

Re:ACTIVATE project.<br />

“I don’t know how to explain<br />

how it feels. It’s just really, really<br />

cool to finally see it,” Ruby said.<br />

The branch will be on display<br />

for six weeks during the public<br />

art season from October 7.<br />

It will even feature as a stop<br />

on the public walk, which takes<br />

people on a tour of all the public<br />

art in the city.<br />

The teen said seeing the<br />

branch had given her the drive<br />

to keep chasing her creative<br />

dreams.<br />

“Now is the moment we’ve been<br />

waiting for. It’s time. This is our<br />

opportunity to build a better, fairer<br />

future for New Zealand. To fix our<br />

healthcare, grow our economy,<br />

respect our environment and to look<br />

after our towns as much as our cities.<br />

It’s time to change things for the<br />

better. I’m ready. We’re ready.”<br />

Don’t fight fire unless<br />

you’re sure to succeed<br />

ashion<br />

• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire<br />

investigator<br />

I WENT to the fire on Clifton<br />

Hill, in Sumner, which recently<br />

destroyed most of a home.<br />

There were a few things there<br />

Gardening<br />

that are worth mentioning.<br />

Firstly, the occupants were in<br />

an unfamiliar house and once<br />

smoke began to restrict visibility<br />

it was fortunate that one of the<br />

group had familiarised himself<br />

with the route to the back door<br />

and was able to herd most of his<br />

family in the right direction.<br />

Secondly, and knowing hu-<br />

otoring<br />

man nature, understandably, the<br />

group leader tried to put the fire<br />

out.<br />

It was too advanced at this<br />

stage and all he managed was to<br />

receive very painful burns.<br />

He only evacuated the house<br />

when the smoke was too thick to<br />

breathe.<br />

He very nearly didn’t make it.<br />

asty Bites<br />

I was asked later by media how<br />

the fire grew so large so quickly.<br />

There was nothing unusual<br />

about the fire growth here.<br />

GUTTED: This three-storey house will have to be demolished<br />

after a fire ripped through it. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN ​<br />

Modern furniture, made<br />

of plastics, foams and nylon,<br />

provides a huge reserve of fuel,<br />

allowing much faster fire growth<br />

than was normal 50 years ago.<br />

Using the word fuel is very<br />

appropriate because all of those<br />

materials originate in oil. And<br />

burn accordingly.<br />

Anywhere you stay, home, motel,<br />

cabin or hotel room, ensure<br />

there is smoke detection.<br />

If there’s heavy smoke the<br />

cleanest air will be at the lowest<br />

point.<br />

Get down, get low and get out.<br />

Don’t try to fight the fire unless<br />

you’re absolutely sure you will<br />

succeed.<br />

Get out, get your family out,<br />

shut doors as you leave and<br />

phone 111 from a safe place.<br />

SUPERSTAR: Congratulations to Pieta, Kip McGrath<br />

positive attitude. She always asks for help when necessary<br />

which means she achieves the very best outcome each<br />

Halswell, recent<br />

changes<br />

and its<br />

WE ALL know that<br />

Halswell, towns and suburbs around<br />

Christchurch’s west will keep growing.<br />

So, we have to work out how to get people<br />

from where they live to where they work.<br />

I’ve recently done some counting at<br />

the Lincoln Rd and Whiteleigh Ave<br />

intersection in the morning rush hour.<br />

People on bicycles make up nine per cent<br />

of the traffic entering Addington village,<br />

Gardening commutes. Doubling the frequency of the<br />

and 11 per cent are on the bus. The rest of buses from 15 minutes to seven to eight<br />

us are in cars, and 80 per cent have just<br />

the driver.<br />

There are two ways of approaching this<br />

problem. First, the big solution. Forget<br />

the new motorway; people I know in<br />

Rolleston are eagerly awaiting it so they<br />

can zoom<br />

otoring<br />

into the central city, so the motorway<br />

won’t help. How about light rail<br />

spoken to are enthusiastic because it<br />

would enhance their community.<br />

Alternatively, there could be lots of little<br />

solutions. Did you know that secondary<br />

school principals will no longer take<br />

out of zone students? This will cut down<br />

the hauling that happens every school<br />

day. Then, there is continuing to grow<br />

the city’s cycleway network, and e-bikes<br />

may get to be really important for longer<br />

minutes would help too, but this starts to<br />

look like a convoy.<br />

What about car sharing? Sadly, people<br />

these days often don’t know their neighbours<br />

so they are hardly likely to share<br />

a car with a person living blocks away.<br />

Applying a levy on sole occupancy cars<br />

at rush hour might encourage this sort of<br />

chumminess, but does city council have<br />

the political will?<br />

So, we are left with politically difficult<br />

alternatives. Pay for light rail, or charge<br />

single occupancy vehicles. Personally, I<br />

Spreydon fighter takes out<br />

national title, memorial belt<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

SUNNY TEKI-CLARK from<br />

Bells Boxing Gym was crowned<br />

New Zealand champion in the<br />

under-81kg elite category last<br />

week and took home The George<br />

Bush Memorial belt.<br />

The New Zealand Boxing<br />

Championships were held in<br />

Rotorua from Monday to Friday<br />

last week and attracted the best<br />

the country had to offer.<br />

Teki-Clark, who fights out of<br />

the Spreydon club, said he was<br />

pleased with his win, but said<br />

there is always room for improvement.<br />

“You can always improve, I<br />

could have kept my hands up in<br />

the third round. It’s great to be<br />

able to put on the red and black<br />

and fight for Canterbury,” he<br />

said.<br />

Woolston Boxing Club’s Hamuera<br />

Tainui received a silver<br />

medal in the under-57kg category<br />

in an all-Canterbury affair<br />

against Daniel Meehan, 14, of the<br />

Smiling Tigers Boxing Club.<br />

It was a split decision loss for<br />

Tainui​who landed some great<br />

shots, according to his coach and<br />

Canterbury Boxing Association<br />

team manager Holly Sullivan.<br />

“He has a few things to work on<br />

but great first time at nationals<br />

against a tough competitor,” she<br />

said. Tainui​ said he was pretty<br />

sore after the bout.<br />

“I left everything out there so I<br />

feel good,” he said.<br />

Sullivan said it was one of the<br />

“greenest” teams they have taken<br />

to the national championships, in<br />

spite of being awarded the Malcolm<br />

Treston Shield for the most<br />

wins at the competition.<br />

THE traditional Cashmere High<br />

leavers v senior rugby match<br />

was played on Wednesday with<br />

the seniors taking the bragging<br />

rights 35-0.<br />

The game is an annual fixture<br />

and a good opportunity for the<br />

leaving students to have one last<br />

hit-out in the college colours.<br />

A school spokesperson said<br />

SPORTS<br />

FRIENDLY: The seniors took the bragging rights in the annual<br />

rugby match against the leavers on Wednesday.<br />

Cashmere High seniors<br />

too strong in final hit-out<br />

there was “more pre-match chat<br />

and hype than an All Blacks<br />

game” but the seniors were<br />

too strong for their departing<br />

counterparts.<br />

“It was great to see quite a few<br />

non-rugby players stepping up<br />

for both teams.<br />

“Well done to all players<br />

and water boys involved in the<br />

game.”<br />

A better deAl<br />

for future<br />

generAtions<br />

i’m campaigning on:<br />

• Drug reform<br />

• Replacing 1080 poison with<br />

Opposum farming<br />

• Increased job opportunities<br />

heaped teaspoon of pesto.<br />

Fold the empty side of each<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

GO-Advanced<br />

Omega-PC<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times, new<br />

research has shown that neurons can grow<br />

back with the right conditions and that a<br />

special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761<br />

or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to<br />

assist in this. The implications for stroke<br />

recovery are obvious, but researchers also<br />

know many of us suffer from undetected<br />

“micro-strokes” that over a period of time<br />

slowly reduce our cognitive function.<br />

TEBONIN is prescribed worldwide as a<br />

natural supportive agent for a healthy brain<br />

and cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />

mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />

alertness, motor function and to help<br />

with many conditions including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />

BOOST BRAIN<br />

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%<br />

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets<br />

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60<br />

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent<br />

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30<br />

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.<br />

Studies on TEBONIN Show:<br />

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement<br />

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.<br />

- Reduces errors made & mental stress.<br />

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore<br />

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.<br />

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal<br />

balance.<br />

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.<br />

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.<br />

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.<br />

micro-circulation and helps the blood flow<br />

reach those critical places it needs to get to.<br />

It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes the<br />

red blood cells more pliable and capillary<br />

walls more flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented multistep<br />

extraction process. Each small tablet<br />

contains a highly concentrated 50:1 extract<br />

to give you a therapeutic clinical dose<br />

without having to take a large amount of<br />

the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba products on<br />

the market, and tested by a major medical<br />

journal, only TEBONIN passed all five of the<br />

test requirements. Ten brands didn’t meet<br />

any requirements and the rest didn’t pass<br />

more than three out of five requirements.<br />

TEBONIN is the only Gingko biloba<br />

extract shown to activate all areas of the<br />

brain and is considered the gold standard<br />

in Gingko. TEBONIN has been trusted by<br />

millions of consumers worldwide for over<br />

30 years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally<br />

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.<br />

It is well known how important omega-3<br />

fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated<br />

most people don’t even get a third of the<br />

recommended omega-3 fatty acids on<br />

a weekly basis. Countries with a higher<br />

amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known<br />

to have lower cardiovascular disease and, in<br />

many cases, better overall health.<br />

Recent research has shown inflammation<br />

to be a big part of disease and the ageing<br />

process.<br />

Fish oil can help reduce inflammation<br />

by providing essential fatty acids required<br />

by the body to heal itself and maintain<br />

good health. Until now most fish oil<br />

only contained omega-3 fatty acids in<br />

triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally<br />

contain omega-3 in triglyceride and<br />

phospholipid form but until recently the<br />

phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />

manufacturing process.<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new<br />

standards in fish oil as it contains<br />

omega-3 attached to both triglycerides<br />

and phospholipids. Studies have shown<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better<br />

absorbed, leading to increased levels of<br />

vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs<br />

through giving the potential for more<br />

health benefits.<br />

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced<br />

from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish<br />

using a new advanced and more natural<br />

cold extraction process that better preserves<br />

the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It<br />

is manufactured to high GMP standards<br />

and is molecularly distilled to remove any<br />

containments, toxins and heavy metals.<br />

Further info on this revolutionary new<br />

fish oil and its benefits is available from<br />

We believe in developing<br />

children’s feelings of self-worth,<br />

and encouraging tolerance and<br />

understanding of others.<br />

Our teachers all hold a<br />

Diploma of Teaching in Early<br />

Childhood, and one holds a<br />

Diploma of Teaching in Primary<br />

as well as early childhood. She<br />

prepares the four year olds for<br />

school through an informal<br />

and brief daily ‘lesson’ time<br />

which the children love to take<br />

part in.<br />

We have a separate nursery<br />

with an outdoor area where the<br />

children discover and explore.<br />

We are a strong multi-cultural<br />

centre with committed teachers<br />

who embrace and celebrate<br />

diversity for our families.<br />

Kids love CASPA!<br />

A child who’s ‘a<br />

little different’<br />

Children who are just ‘a little different’ – perhaps they’re<br />

clumsy, have difficulty writing or tying shoelaces, or<br />

prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to fit in.<br />

To interpret and function in the world<br />

we need to accurately process information<br />

from our environment.<br />

Some children’s nervous systems<br />

may receive, sort and use information<br />

inaccurately (sensory processing) causing<br />

them to either under or over reaction to<br />

a sensation, or actively seek or avoid a<br />

sensation.<br />

This may cause distress for the<br />

child, family and teachers,<br />

as coping with everyday<br />

experiences like<br />

noisy classrooms,<br />

the feel of fabric,<br />

or moving in a<br />

coordinated way<br />

may present huge<br />

challenges. It can<br />

influence behaviour<br />

and interfere with<br />

learning, doing<br />

everyday activities or<br />

simply fitting in.<br />

No child is the<br />

same, each have<br />

their own individual<br />

difficulties.<br />

Therapy Professionals Therapists<br />

may be able to help improve the life<br />

of these children and those around<br />

them. Contact us at 3775280 or<br />

friends and try new experiences all within a<br />

safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers<br />

working parents an affordable after school<br />

and school holiday programme that their<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />

on to the sports field?<br />

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />

behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />

it is located.<br />
