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 />

• 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 />

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 />

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 />

Wigram Skies, Halswell and Fendalton homes grab awards<br />

HOUSES FROM Wigram Skies, Halswell<br />

and Fendalton have been recognised in<br />

the annual House of the Year awards.<br />

The results of the regional competition<br />

were revealed at a gala dinner last<br />

Friday at the Air Force Museum of New<br />

Zealand.<br />

The winning houses were celebrated by<br />

members of the Canterbury Registered<br />

Master Builders Association and<br />

members of the local construction<br />

industry.<br />

There were 40 gold award winners from<br />

Canterbury which will now be judged<br />

against winners from around the country<br />

to find the National Gold Reserve<br />

award and category winner.<br />

ACHIEVEMENT: This house by Form Builders Ltd in Fendalton<br />

received a gold award.<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 />

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 />

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 />

VILLA MARIA College has two<br />

new year 13 star students after<br />

they both achieved high results<br />

in Canterbury University papers.<br />

Emilie Feasey achieved an A+<br />

in a computer science course,<br />

while Amy Inwood received an<br />

A+ average in mathematics.<br />

Amy’s perfect average came<br />

after the first semester of a yearlong<br />

mathematics paper.<br />

Emilie completed an introduction<br />

to computer science semester<br />

one paper.<br />

Emilie’s paper included<br />

computer programming in a<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 />

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 />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Warming winter with<br />

EnviroMaster<br />

Are you struggling with the heat of<br />

Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />

Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />

your investment as you can use it all year<br />

round. The team at enviro Master Ltd can<br />

help keep you cool this Summer either at<br />

home or work. enviro Master supplies,<br />

installs and services all the leading brands<br />

including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi<br />

and Daikin. This means our team can<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

lower power bills and greater comfort.<br />

But beware, not all cleaning companies<br />

are equal. We are constantly hearing<br />

of people being charged huge amounts<br />

for servicing and all they are getting is a<br />

heat pump clean. We at enviro Master,<br />

are able to fully test and diagnose any<br />

problems you may or may not be aware<br />

of with your heat pump. Also, as we are<br />

associated with all major brands, we are<br />

able to repair these under warranty if<br />

they are still within the warranty period.<br />

It is important to remember, when<br />

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />

warranty does not cover the installation<br />

and consumers could be responsible<br />

for any repair or damage caused to the<br />

system due to poor installation. enviro<br />

ensures correct installation, and a<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 />

VenTILATIon<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 />

vitamin C in order to survive and withstand<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 />

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 />
