New skate park site approved<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
HALSWELL MAY now get two<br />
skate parks – one in Halswell<br />
Domain and the other in<br />
Knights Stream Sports Park.<br />
The Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board decided at<br />
an extraordinary meeting last<br />
Wednesday to give the green<br />
light for a skate park in Halswell<br />
Domain, and recommend that a<br />
smaller one be sited at Knights<br />
Stream Sports Park.<br />
About 600 people signed a<br />
petition to try and stop the skate<br />
park. But another petition saw<br />
almost 800 people sign in support<br />
of the skate park.<br />
Community board chairman<br />
Mike Mora said: “We had to<br />
make a decision and it is the<br />
young people we have got to<br />
think about because adults tend<br />
to think about themselves as<br />
far as city council facilities are<br />
concerned.”<br />
The skate park in Halswell<br />
Domain will be next to the playground.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board had not received any<br />
“flak” for recommending a skate<br />
park in Knights Stream Sports<br />
Park.<br />
“I think it will be an advantage<br />
for families to have a facility so<br />
close,” he said.<br />
Twelve deputations were made<br />
at the meeting from community<br />
members, including children<br />
from Halswell schools, residents<br />
and youth workers.<br />
Community board member<br />
Jimmy Chen said while the<br />
process was open and transparent,<br />
he was disappointed where<br />
the skate park was being sited in<br />
Halswell Domain.<br />
He lost an amendment proposal<br />
to seek an alternative location<br />
in the Halswell Domain.<br />
He said the decision ignored<br />
the voices of the Halswell Domain<br />
Action Group and those in<br />
support of a skate park in an alternative<br />
location in the Halswell<br />
Domain.<br />
A further petition opposing<br />
the placement of a skate park in<br />
Westlake Reserve was signed by<br />
204 residents. Halswell Community<br />
Project spokeswoman Chrys<br />
Horn said the Halswell Domain<br />
location was the best outcome.<br />

ashion<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THE MONA Vale homestead<br />
is on track to open in October.<br />
Mona Vale was closed after<br />
sustaining damage in the<br />
February, 2011 earthquake.<br />
But progress has now<br />
been made on the fernery,<br />
bathhouse, gatehouse,<br />
homestead and lodge.<br />

Richie Moyle said an opening<br />
celebration will be held when<br />
the fit-out and compliance is<br />
completed for the Mona Vale<br />
homestead.<br />
He said<br />

So far construction<br />
of<br />
the gatehouse<br />
is 50 per cent<br />
complete and<br />

A city council release said<br />
Dominion Construction<br />
Ltd will fix the damage to<br />
the building and strengthen<br />
it to 67 per cent of the New<br />
Building Standard.<br />
PROGRESS: City council heritage rebuild programme manager Richie Moyle said an<br />
opening celebration is planned in October for the Mona Vale homestead.<br />
The Mona Vale Lodge near<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />
was completed last month.<br />
Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck<br />
said much excitement is<br />
expected when the main<br />
buildings open.<br />
She said after what felt like<br />
months and years of preparation<br />
the buildings will be<br />
finished closely together.<br />
All work is set to be completed<br />
at the end of the year apart<br />
from the bathhouse where<br />
construction will be finished<br />
in April next year.<br />
Well-known gardening<br />

Mona Vale has the second best<br />
garden behind the Botanic<br />
Gardens and is looking<br />
forward to the opening.<br />

Hoon Hay Interaction<br />
Programme for<br />
Parents and<br />
Youngsters<br />
co-ordinator Anne<br />
Galloway writes about<br />
empowering parents<br />
and children<br />
Tuesday <strong>August</strong> 2 <strong>2016</strong><br />
I BELIEVE that positive change<br />
can happen when individuals,<br />
families and communities are<br />
empowered to fulfil the<br />
potential each have.<br />
In my current position<br />
as co-ordinator of<br />
the HIPPY programme,<br />
I have seen what an<br />
empowered community<br />
of parents from a variety<br />
of cultures throughout the<br />
Halswell, Addington, Spreydon<br />
and Hoon Hay areas can achieve.<br />
HIPPY is a home-based programme<br />
that empowers parents<br />
to become actively involved<br />
in their three to five-year-old<br />
children’s learning. Parents and<br />
children work together for 15min<br />
a day with story books, puzzles,<br />
and learning games.<br />
Research following families<br />
who have been on the programme<br />
is revealing multiple<br />
benefits; children who are ready<br />
to learn and settle at school, who<br />
score better on measures of literacy<br />
and numeracy and parents<br />
who are more involved in school<br />
activities and often seek further<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
Positive change comes through empowerment<br />
education for themselves.<br />
When we as a community<br />
work together to nurture our<br />
young people, to actively demonstrate<br />
to them that we value and<br />
treasure them, we are building<br />
a place where young people<br />
and families all can and will<br />
thrive.<br />
“Ahakoa he iti he pounamu.”<br />
(Even though it is small it is a<br />
treasure.)<br />
GUTTED: Another fire, this time in Woolston, has kept<br />
firefighters and investigators busy. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Spate of blazes keeps<br />
firefighters busy<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
THERE HAVE been a number of<br />
quite serious fires in the city this<br />
week. And this column is being<br />
written, hurriedly, before I head<br />
off to one of them.<br />
The deliberate fire set in the<br />
empty building on Hereford St<br />
last Friday was another example<br />
of our firefighters being put in<br />
danger by the reckless and criminal<br />
actions of some idiot.<br />
The fire was on an upper floor<br />
and the only way to get to it was<br />
from inside.<br />
This meant climbing stairwells<br />
with charged fire hoses in a<br />
building with structural safety<br />
issues that was already compromised<br />
by earthquake damage<br />
even before the fire damage<br />
occurred.<br />
In this case, the fire crews did a<br />
brilliant job in restricting the fire<br />
to the floor of origin.<br />
It’s just that they should never<br />
have had to.<br />
Last Saturday, we had an incident<br />
where a young woman was<br />
burnt trying to encourage a fire<br />
in a drum at a property in Hoon<br />
Hay that was dying down by<br />
throwing petrol on to it.<br />
These type of incidents are<br />
actually not all that rare.<br />
Even in winter, petrol products<br />
freed into the air invisibly<br />
vaporise, leaving a surrounding<br />
mixture of highly-flammable gas<br />
that is many times larger than a<br />
pool or splash of fuel.<br />
On meeting an ignition source<br />
– in this case the already burning<br />
fire – the vapour cloud ignites.<br />
Sometimes with horrendous<br />
results.<br />
Not a nice way to remember a<br />
party, where alcohol consumption<br />
can overcome normal<br />
common sense and influence a<br />
decision that, in hindsight, might<br />
just be seen as ‘unwise’.<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article on the Halswell<br />
Skate and Recreation Park<br />
Barbara and Bob Morton:<br />
My husband Bob and I,<br />
would like to endorse the city<br />
council’s preferred location for<br />
the proposed Halswell Skate and<br />
Recreation Park to be sited in<br />
Knights Stream Sports Park, as<br />
we feel this is the ideal place for<br />
it to be.<br />
After reading the front page<br />
article in the latest <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> that outlined the advantages<br />
of this site for example<br />
co-coordinating a skate park<br />
with other facilities such as<br />
a “learn to ride bike track”<br />
basketball and sports facilities,<br />
we concluded that this site could<br />
become a great place for the<br />
youth of Halswell, without being<br />
contentious to local residents.<br />
J Wilson:<br />
The article Skate park decision<br />
soon in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> states<br />
that the nearest residential area<br />
is Whincops Rd. Looking at<br />
the proposed site it seems to<br />
be directly beside and within a<br />
residential area as housing goes<br />
from Whincops Rd right up to<br />
the Knights Stream Sports Park.<br />
It appears to be misleading<br />
readers to say the nearest<br />
residential area is Whincops Rd.<br />
I would think the noise etc from<br />
a skate park would certainly<br />
impact on value of housing<br />
adjacent to the proposed skate<br />
park.<br />
Bowen Hodgson:<br />
Should we have a skate park in<br />
Halswell?<br />
Personally I believe we should<br />
have a skate park in Halswell.<br />
I’m saying this coming from a<br />
teenager’s perspective. Having<br />
grown up in Halswell for the<br />
last 10 years, there really isn’t<br />
much to do from a teenager’s<br />
perspective.<br />
Yes, there is a pool but that is<br />
only open for half the year in<br />
the summer and playgrounds<br />
for younger kids, but for those<br />
who want to skate, there aren’t<br />
a lot of good skate spots. And<br />
the few good spots there are,<br />
you are at risk of being hit by a<br />
car or smashing into somebody<br />
walking by.<br />
I understand that some people<br />
are worried that some teenage<br />
skaters will get cause trouble,<br />
trash the place and just be a<br />
place for “the non-desirables”.<br />
But coming from a skater, to<br />
have a skate park in Halswell<br />
that I can walk or skate would<br />
be awesome. I would look after<br />
it so myself and others can use it<br />
and enjoy it more.<br />
Another reason is Halswell<br />
has lots of sports fields, multiple<br />
playgrounds, a mini ride-able<br />
railway and a new library. It<br />
seems like a place for everybody<br />
but teenagers who want to hang<br />
out with friends and skate.<br />
Shouldn’t Halswell be a place<br />
for everybody? Young kids,<br />
youths, families and elders.<br />
Shouldn’t it be a place for<br />
everybody to enjoy themselves<br />
and have a good time?<br />
Possible locations I think the<br />
skate park could be are Scott<br />
Park, Westlake Reserve and the<br />
best Halswell Domain.<br />
Jeanette and Graham<br />
Anderson:<br />
The skate park should not be<br />
in Knights Stream Sports Park.<br />
This park is too far away from<br />
the centre of Halswell. The<br />
report in the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
states that the nearest residential<br />
area is Whincops Rd. Have the<br />
city councillors looked at this<br />
area recently? The residences in<br />
Denali St and Richmond Ave<br />
are adjacent to Knights Stream<br />
Sports Park, not 190m away. We<br />
agree with a “learn to ride”<br />
bicycle track, netball and rugby<br />
facilities as indicated on the<br />
landscape plan we received a few<br />
weeks ago.<br />

Journey of discovery<br />
in the great outdoors<br />
A HEI HEI resident has been<br />
on the adventure of a lifetime<br />
after he earned a scholarship to<br />
attend the outdoor education<br />
programme Outward Bound<br />
last month.<br />
Hamish Reid, 27, has been<br />
busy swimming before sunrise,<br />
traversing high ropes, climbing<br />
rock faces while blind folded<br />
and spending time in the Queen<br />
Charlotte Sound.<br />
Mr Reid received the scholarship<br />
to Outward Bound as part<br />
of his prize package for being<br />
named Master Builders Apprentice<br />
of the Year.<br />
He works for Leighs Construction<br />
based in the city.<br />
Mr Reid said that while he<br />
was prepared for the physical<br />
challenges, he wasn’t prepared<br />
for sharing a dorm room with<br />
“14 other blokes”.<br />
“I didn’t pack my nose plug,”<br />
he said.<br />
But Mr Reid said he has been<br />
inspired by the Outward Bound<br />
programme and is planning to<br />
become more involved in the<br />
Hei Hei community.<br />
“I would love to be a scout<br />
leader . . . coach a sports team,<br />
start to give back to the community.<br />
By caring for our environment,<br />
we are effectively caring<br />
for our community’s future<br />
generations,” he said.<br />
One of the key experiences<br />
for Mr Reid was a “solo experience”<br />
where he was left alone<br />
with limited food and shelter for<br />
three days.<br />
This was so he could spend<br />
time writing and thinking about<br />
future goals.<br />
‘It is not too often in life you<br />

Hamish Reid,<br />

contribute to<br />
the Hei Hei<br />
community. <br />
get an opportunity to do absolutely<br />
nothing for three days. No<br />
contact, nothing to do, just you<br />
and your thoughts,” he said.<br />
During his three weeks away,<br />
he realised he had a passion for<br />
protecting the natural environment.<br />
“Seeing our beautiful country<br />
up close and personal everyday<br />
makes me even more keen to get<br />
stuck in and make a change,” he<br />
said.<br />

SHOWBIZ Christchurch held its<br />
popular Way Off Broadway show<br />
earlier this month.<br />
The bi-monthly concert is an<br />
open-mic night for performers,<br />
held at the NASDA studios at the<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury in the<br />
central city.<br />
For each performance, nine<br />
singers individually took to the<br />

by the piano.<br />
The singers were accompanied<br />
by pianist Sam Jury.<br />

SCHOOLS<br />
becomes co-ed<br />
IT HAS been confirmed that<br />
Halswell Residential College will<br />
become a co-educational campus.<br />
The decision announced last<br />
week by Education Minister<br />
Hekia Parata was welcomed by<br />
staff, students and their families.<br />
The college first applied for<br />
co-educational – also known as<br />
mixed-gender education – status<br />
in 2012.<br />
Halswell Residential College<br />
provides special education<br />
within a residential setting for<br />
students with an intellectual<br />
impairment.<br />
Board of Trustees chairman<br />
Lois Chick (below) said she was<br />
pleased they would no longer have<br />
to turn students away because<br />
they were female.<br />
“Since January<br />
2014, we have<br />
been able to enrol<br />
up to five girls at<br />
Halswell Residential<br />
College,” she<br />
said<br />
“However, we<br />
were still officially<br />
a single sex boys’ school, which<br />
disadvantaged female students.”<br />
Mrs Chick said the classrooms<br />
and campus will reflect how life<br />
really is with both males and<br />
females being part of the school<br />
CO-ED: It was announced last week that Halswell Residential<br />
College will become co-educational. <br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />
Tyra Adlam aka Maleficent<br />
Playing the villain for charity<br />
Tyra Adlam has a second life as one Disney’s most-loved<br />
villains, Maleficent. Georgia O’Connor-Harding spoke to<br />
her about the reaction she gets when undertaking charity<br />
work dressed as the “mistress of all evil”<br />
Why did you decide to dress<br />
up as Maleficent?<br />
A lot of it had to do with being<br />
drawn to gothic characters.<br />
Characters that are crazy pale,<br />
with colourful eyes decked out<br />
in black. Maleficent is very<br />
commanding and powerful. I<br />
have so much more confidence<br />
in my real life now after dressing<br />
as this character.<br />
What was it like when<br />
you made your first public<br />
appearance as Maleficent?<br />
It was Halloween and I ended<br />
up going on a bus trip and having<br />
a great time. I didn’t realise<br />
New Zealand had these Armageddon<br />
expos. When I went to<br />
my first expo I had no idea what<br />
to expect. I spent the first hour<br />
posing for photos. The reaction<br />
was staggering. My character<br />
encourages strength and power.<br />
Meeting like-minded people in<br />
the community was great, too. I<br />
got into charity events through<br />
that. The goal now, with my<br />
friend Darth Vader, is to do as<br />
much good as possible. Our<br />
characters both know what it’s<br />
like to suffer. We both want to<br />
give back to people who need<br />
help – there is nothing in this<br />
world like it.<br />
What events do you attend as<br />
Maleficent?<br />
I go to Armageddon, and do<br />
charity and not-for-profit work<br />
with the Christchurch Faerie<br />
Circle.<br />
What do you do as a day job?<br />
I have worked at the Christchurch<br />
Horror Maze over the<br />
summer as a scare actress.<br />
Because of health issues I’ve got,<br />
I can’t really do a great deal.<br />
So it hasn’t been an easy<br />
journey?<br />
No. Ever since I was diagnosed<br />
with a chronic illness it has<br />
been ongoing. Finding the right<br />
balance is so important because<br />
you can do too much. Some<br />
days are really good but you can<br />
push yourself a little too much<br />
and your body can protest the<br />
next day. One of the reasons I<br />
love being Maleficent is because<br />
it is not about me. When I do a<br />
MAGIC: Tyra dresses as the Disney character Maleficent when<br />
she does charity work.<br />
charity event as Maleficent it is<br />
not about me and my issues, it<br />
is entirely about someone else.<br />
It is really nice focusing yourself<br />
on people in need, rather than<br />
PHOTO: KIRSTY LEE<br />
focusing on yourself. It is a way<br />
for me to get out of my own head<br />
and realise other people have<br />
stuff going on as well.<br />
You have a great outlook.<br />
You kind of have to. You get to<br />
a point where you can either sit<br />
there and be miserable about the<br />
things you can’t change, or you<br />
can invest your energy into the<br />
good stuff.<br />
Tell me about your family?<br />
I have a sister who is incredibly<br />
supportive. My parents live<br />
in Te Puki, near Tauranga. It<br />
is the Kiwifruit capital of New<br />
Zealand. My family think it is<br />
great I dress up. There is this idea<br />
that it is weird and there can be<br />
judgment, but my family think<br />
it is great. They get right behind<br />
it and support it. My sister is an<br />
artist. She is a painter that just<br />
got into sculpting and is very<br />
creative. My grand-father, who<br />
passed away in 1997, was into<br />
pottery so there has always been<br />
an artistic influence in my family.<br />
Have you ever considered<br />
going into acting?<br />
I have toyed with the idea. But<br />
with my chronic illness, there<br />
is no telling how I will be on<br />
any one day. Charity events do<br />
not happen too often and they<br />
are only for a few hours. Even<br />
if I don’t feel great, there is the<br />
reward of helping others and I<br />
can push myself through. But it<br />
is a matter of listening to what<br />
the body is saying.

And how old are you?<br />
I am 36. All my friends complain<br />
they are getting older,<br />
but I am getting closer to 40<br />
and love it. It is actually really<br />
exciting. In my 20s, I was like<br />
most people. I was relatively<br />
self-absorbed, self-focused<br />
and a bit dramatic. Obviously<br />
living though the earthquakes<br />
was a pretty traumatic experience.<br />
That was when I realised<br />
I needed help. I had extensive<br />
therapy. I needed to address<br />
over-coming my grief. I knew<br />
people who died in the 2011<br />
earthquake. But I have now<br />
put that trauma behind me.<br />
The main thing is to keep<br />
moving forward.<br />
How do children react<br />
when they see you?<br />
It does vary. I have done<br />
some faerie events where children<br />
come rushing up to me<br />
and throw their arms around<br />
me. On the flip-side, some find<br />
my whole look intimidating. I<br />
have been known to have done<br />
charity events where children<br />
look at me and burst into tears.<br />
When you were younger<br />
did you enjoy fairy tales?<br />
I was always drawn to the<br />
dark characters. When I was<br />
four-years-old I remember<br />
going into kindergarten and<br />
the teacher asked what we<br />
want to be when we grew up.<br />
I wanted to be Lily Munster<br />
because she was a vampire.<br />
When I started watching<br />
Disney movies I found the<br />
villains interesting. Oldschool<br />
princesses were one<br />
dimensional. Nowadays you<br />
have movies like Frozen where<br />
the princesses have their own<br />
defined personalities. But<br />
back in the earlier days, their<br />
entire existence was having a<br />
man save them and there was<br />
nothing exciting about that.<br />
And I take it you are<br />
pleased about the Disney<br />
films getting made these<br />
days?<br />
It is one of the things Frozen<br />
has done. It is redefining<br />
what true love is. It is nice<br />
seeing princess characters<br />
who actually are characters.<br />
The reason the character<br />
Anna from the film Frozen is<br />
so relatable is because she is<br />
quirky and goofy.<br />

That is a hard one to answer<br />

at what point do you say they<br />

Nurse Maude COMMuNITY ParTNersHIPs<br />
driving force behind Nurse Maude<br />
The supporT of the people of<br />
Christchurch for Nurse Maude’s work<br />
started the day sibylla Maude first<br />
stepped out on the streets of Christchurch<br />
120 years ago with the community<br />
recognising the need and responding.<br />
“Just as Nurse Maude has always been<br />
a large part of the community, so the<br />
community has been such a large part<br />
of Nurse Maude,” says sue Bramwell,<br />
general manager of marketing for Nurse<br />
Maude.<br />
That partnership with the community<br />
continues today through its support of<br />
Nurse Maude’s hospice shops, Maudes<br />
on Trade Me and key sponsorships which<br />
include harcourts holmwood.<br />
harcourts holmwood has been,<br />
literally, behind Nurse Maude for<br />
more than seven years now, with its<br />
sponsorship of an initial five cars now<br />
increased to more than 30.<br />
every year sales consultants from<br />
harcourts holmwood are clocking up<br />
millions of kilometres across the greater<br />
Christchurch and Canterbury region.<br />
The Nurse Maude cars are on the road<br />
seven days a week, delivering nursing<br />
care across Canterbury and the chances<br />
are when you see one of Nurse Maude’s<br />
distinctive white cars on the road that the<br />
back window will be carrying the name<br />
and photo of a sales consultant from the<br />
harcourts holmwood franchise.<br />
With the agents’ photo, name and<br />
contact details in the rear window, both<br />
harcourts holmwood and Nurse Maude<br />
are benefiting from the partnership and<br />
Bramwell says mutual benefit is what a<br />
good sponsorship agreement is all about.<br />
“For us it’s essential support for Nurse<br />
Maude, for harcourts holmwood it’s<br />
a very effective way of letting people<br />
know that the company not only cares<br />
about supporting the community it does<br />
business with, it is actually doing so,” says<br />
Bramwell.<br />
harcourts holmwood has found<br />
that people like the fact that the sales<br />
consultants they list their home with are<br />
donating a significant amount of money<br />
to Nurse Maude every year.<br />
playing a key part in helping Nurse<br />
Maude care for the people of Canterbury<br />
doesn’t just start and stop with Nurse<br />
Maude’s cars however.<br />
harcourts holmwood’s support went<br />
above and beyond during the earthquakes<br />
when its sales consultants turned out<br />
to help deliver water, portable toilets<br />
and blankets to Nurse Maude’s most<br />
vulnerable clients.<br />
It also has regular clothing drives for<br />
the Nurse Maude hospice shops and<br />
gathers donations from its events.<br />
“Individually and collectively the<br />
people of harcourts holmwood have<br />
contributed a great deal to the work of<br />
Nurse Maude,” says Bramwell.<br />
“It’s an enduring sponsorship of which<br />
they are justifiably proud and we are very<br />
fortunate to have.”

Nurse Maude COMMuNITY ParTNersHIPs<br />
Perfect synergy<br />
in sponsorship<br />
There are some partnerships that just make perfect sense, and the one<br />
between eCoCentral and Nurse Maude would be one of those.<br />
WheN Nurse Maude started<br />
Maudes on Trade Me, selling almost<br />
everything from furniture to fine<br />
jewellery to raise money for its nursing<br />
services it soon ran out of storage<br />
space.<br />
“In the past a lack of space meant<br />
that Maudes on Trade Me, had often<br />
been unable to take large volumes of<br />
donated goods,” says sue Bramwell,<br />
general manager marketing for Nurse<br />
Maude.<br />
With the considerable resources of<br />
eCoCentral now behind it, however,<br />
Maudes on Trade Me is able to clear<br />
entire house lots, moving the larger<br />
items through the eCoshop on<br />
Blenheim road.<br />
The partnership has been a great<br />
success with Maudes on Trade Me now<br />
able to clear entire house lots and take<br />
in a much broader range of furniture<br />
and whiteware.<br />
“people can still drop smaller items<br />
off to any of our hospice shops,” says<br />
Bramwell, “but we can now go out and<br />
collect house lots of saleable furniture<br />
and whiteware if people want to email<br />
us or give us a call.”<br />
For Judi sefton, Chief executive<br />
of eCoCentral and Jim Magee,<br />
Chief executive of Nurse Maude,<br />
the partnership simply makes sense,<br />
allowing a wide range of goods to be<br />
recycled and sold to support Nurse<br />
Maude’s services rather than be<br />
dumped.<br />
“eCoCentral is all about maximising<br />
the volume of goods that can be<br />
recycled and minimising landfill,” says<br />
sefton, “and to be able to do that while<br />
helping raise money for Nurse Maude<br />
can only be a good thing.”<br />
“The partnership between<br />
eCoCentral and Nurse Maude<br />
clearly demonstrates the huge value<br />
the business community can bring<br />
to organisations such as ours,” says<br />
Bramwell.<br />
Those who need to downsize, clear<br />
some space or simply see unwanted<br />
furniture and household goods to<br />
benefit the wider community rather<br />
than just be dumped see Maudes on<br />
Trade Me as the ideal home for those<br />
items.<br />
For Nurse Maude it means much<br />
needed financial support for nursing<br />
services at a time of increasing demand,<br />
while eCoCentral is all about caring<br />
for the community through recycling<br />
and reducing landfill.<br />
“ecoCentral and Nurse Maude<br />
talk about caring for the people of<br />
Canterbury together and that is exactly<br />
what’s happening here,” says Bramwell.<br />
“everyone is benefiting.”<br />
With the considerable<br />
resources of eCoCentral<br />
now behind it, Maudes on<br />
Trade Me is able to clear<br />
entire house lots, moving<br />
the larger items through<br />
the eCoshop on<br />
Blenheim road.

THE WIGRAM Magdala<br />
Link opened last weekend<br />
connecting the communities<br />
on either side of Curletts Rd.<br />
The project has been<br />
completed ahead of time and<br />
under budget.<br />
The over-bridge joined Wigram<br />
Rd and Magdala Place<br />
Gardening<br />
connected the south-west of<br />
the city with Riccarton and<br />
Addington.<br />
It is also a key part of the<br />
Little River Link Major Cycle<br />
Route that stretches from the<br />
central city to Little River<br />
through Addington, via the<br />
motorway and Lincoln.<br />
otoring<br />
Infrastructure, transport and environment<br />
committee chairman Phil Clearwater<br />
said the link is an important connector<br />
for cyclists travelling further a field on the<br />
Little River Link cycleway.<br />
“The population around Wigram is<br />
growing and the link will be an important<br />
piece of infrastructure for that community,”<br />
he said.<br />
The project was started in 2009 as part<br />
asty Bites<br />

to improve travel connectivity in the<br />
area.<br />
It was to provide a connection for<br />

The concept plan for the Wigram<br />
Magdala Link was developed in 2013 after<br />
public consultation.<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency southern<br />
regional director Jim Harland said the<br />
Wigram Magdala Link is an important<br />
new access road that will ease congestion.<br />
“It is particularly important for the<br />
residential and industrial growth areas<br />
of Wigram and Halswell as it provides<br />
motorists and cyclists with a direct link<br />
through to the central city.”<br />

RURAL RETURNS: Scotty Bamford (left) returns for a brand new season of<br />
Rural New Zealand tomorrow night.<br />
Scotty’s back on Rural NZ<br />
HE’S BACK! Scotty Bamford returns to<br />
the screen tomorrow night on CTV, in an<br />
all new season of Rural New Zealand.<br />
Mr Bamford will return to the screen<br />
for the first time in nearly 12 months<br />
after a near-fatal truck crash over the<br />
Christmas period last year.<br />
The Rural New Zealand team have been<br />
hard at work following the end of season<br />
two, earlier this year with filming for<br />
season three beginning in July.<br />
“We’ve had some absolutely cracking<br />
days filming over the winter, the weather<br />
has really played ball. We’ve been travelling<br />
far and wide, leaving our gummy<br />
marks right across Canterbury,” said Mr<br />
Bamford.<br />
Mr Bamford is excited to show off what<br />
he and the team have been working on<br />
when episode one airs this week.<br />
“We catch up with two girls that are<br />
riding horse back, circumnavigating<br />
New Zealand. We met them in Kaikoura,<br />
3000km into their journey,” he said.<br />
This week’s episode sees Mr Bamford<br />
meet Carrfields founding director Greg<br />
Carr.<br />
“Over the next 16 weeks we’ll be<br />
learning more about the Carr family and<br />
how the Ashburton-based agricultural<br />
business has grown into a diverse<br />
international operation,” he said.<br />
Mr Bamford said that one of his<br />
highlights this season was a recent trip to<br />
Omarama, to meet the 2015 South Island<br />
Farmer of the Year co-winner Richard<br />
Subtil.<br />
Later in the season Mr Subtil will<br />
explain the effort that went into<br />
recognition in the competition and his<br />
plans to future-proof the family farm for<br />
generations to come.<br />
Episode one will air at 8pm tomorrow<br />
on CTV, Freeview channel 40.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of dampness<br />
in your house<br />
noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways to<br />
make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy<br />
for their families throughout winter. rISIng<br />
DAMP is an issue that affects many of our<br />
older properties which suffer from poor, or no,<br />
insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated with<br />
health problems. Independent tests have shown<br />
that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the<br />
ground and enter a house every day, leading to<br />
mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells.<br />
Moulds can produce various allergic reactions<br />
and the frail, elderly and very young are especially<br />
vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally<br />
owned and operated firm. The team understands<br />
the problems caused by rising damp and are<br />
there to help. They will come to your damp home<br />
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete<br />
under your timber floored home. Specially<br />
adapted for our new Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit<br />
that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
have noticed recently, is that many owners<br />
of properties which had underfloor foam<br />
concrete installed, reported that it also provided<br />
protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />

To enSure the quality of your air, contact<br />
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<br />
the required air exchange for your building<br />
requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />
ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />
for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />
markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />
and ventilation components in-store but they<br />
can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />
differing requirements.<br />

This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />
building. It is one of the most important factors<br />
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />
buildings.<br />
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live and work. In case<br />
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />
removed.<br />
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />
high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />
harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />
bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />
nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />
windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />
approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />
trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />
decline.<br />
It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

the attack of pathogens and free radicals.<br />
environmental toxins damage cells that<br />
leads to disease but vitamin C and other<br />
antioxidants can neutralize this damage.<br />
vitamin C does not directly attack cancer<br />
cells but helps keep the immune system<br />
strong. The immune system fights cancer<br />
cells with hydrogen peroxide, a natural type<br />
of chemotherapy to destroy the cancer cells.<br />
vitamin C may help prevent one of our<br />
worst diseases and many researchers believe<br />
it to be a useful part of a comprehensive<br />
cancer treatment protocol.<br />
vitamin C also has many other important<br />
roles in the body. It is a major constituent in<br />
the production of collagen, ligaments, bones,<br />
discs, tendons and skin. It has been shown to<br />
improve the healing process of burns, cuts,<br />
wounds, sprains/strains and broken bones as<br />
well as reduce inflammation and pain. It is<br />
known to support cardiovascular function,<br />
blood flow and keep the blood vessels strong<br />
but flexible. vitamin C has numerous other<br />
health benefits including supporting lung<br />
function, balanced blood sugar levels and<br />
eye health.<br />
vitamin C cannot be produced in the<br />
body but must come from our diet. our<br />
bodies require much more vitamin C<br />
than ever before due to our more stressful<br />
lifestyle and toxic environment. Many<br />
researchers believe it is impossible to obtain<br />
enough vitamin C in a normal healthy diet.<br />
Most oral vitamin C supplements are<br />
believed to have an absorption rate of as low<br />
as 20%. This is due to vitamin C being water<br />
soluble and our cell membranes being made<br />
up of fat and the fact that water and fat don’t<br />
mix.<br />
Liposomal vitamin C is made by<br />
combining essential phospholipid fatty acids<br />
with vitamin C to form nano-size particles<br />
that can easily pass through the digestive<br />
system into the bloodstream and into the<br />
cells. The absorption rate is over 90% and<br />
liposomal vitamin C is easily stored in the<br />
body for use when required.<br />

LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C OFFERS SUPERIOR ABSORPTION<br />
& ThE POTENTIAL FOR MORE hEALTh BENEFITS<br />
Liposomal vitamin C is a technological breakthrough. Most oral vitamin C<br />
supplements have an absorption rate as low as 20%. Liposomal vitamin C has<br />
an absorption rate over 90% & is easily stored in the body compared to normal<br />
vitamin C. Due to our modern stressful lifestyle & more toxic environment we<br />
require higher amounts of vitamin C than is normally provided by a good diet.<br />
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a critical role in immune function.<br />
It helps keep the immune system strong so the immune system can protect the<br />
cells from damage that leads to disease.<br />
Liposomal Vitamin C Supports:<br />
- A strong immune system<br />
- Formation of collagen, ligaments,<br />
bones, discs, tendons & skin<br />
- Stable blood sugar levels<br />
- Cardiovascular & blood vessel<br />
health, blood flow<br />
- Healing of cuts, burns, wounds,<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical sense in sydenham sees clients with a range<br />
of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients<br />
visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />
PhysiotheraPist ietje van<br />
stolk suggests that a major part of the<br />
pain could be due to muscle pain rather<br />
than simply arthritis. “even if an x-ray<br />
shows arthritis, the reason for the pain<br />
may be the muscles around the joint,”<br />
she explains. The images show how<br />
a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />
blade can give a deep pain in the front<br />
of the shoulder and a muscle knot all the<br />
way near the groin can give an ache in<br />
the knee (especially at night in bed).<br />
ietje recalls one case where an 89<br />
year old client with severe arthritis who<br />
walked with a stick, told her, “i will<br />
end up in a wheelchair, i cannot put<br />
any weight through my right leg due to<br />
pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within<br />
4 treatments, she was walking with<br />
her stick but without the severe pain,”<br />
says ietje. “The arthritis was one of the<br />
factors that made her muscles spasm but<br />

the other was that older people move<br />
less and the flexed position the hip is<br />
in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />
the hip.” ietje is happy with the fact that<br />
although the client was 89 and could<br />
have been “given up on” or told to live<br />
with the pain, she made a difference to<br />
her health and wellbeing.<br />
The same lack of movement can<br />
be the reason for your knee pain or<br />
your shoulder pain and the same few<br />
treatments could make a huge difference<br />
for you.<br />
at Physical sense, hands-on<br />
techniques (massage and triggerpoint<br />
deactivation techniques) are used<br />
to release the muscles. The client<br />
also gets a home exercise program<br />
designed to mobilize and stretch the<br />
joint, strengthen the important core<br />
muscles and increase general strength<br />
and balance. They teach a movement<br />
sequence that stretches the joint in all<br />
directions whilst the client is able to lie<br />
safely on their bed, perfect for older or<br />

in many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to<br />
maintain it, is enough to stay on top of<br />
the problem. if severe arthritis is the<br />
underlying cause, some maintenance<br />
therapy may be necessary, but that is<br />
often more affordable and, for older<br />
patients, better tolerated than surgery. in<br />
