HEY DAY: Trevor Williams playing for Hornby in the 60s and 

70s. Inset: In more recent times. 

Hornby goal-kicking great passes on 

• By Andrew King 

A HORNBY rugby league 

goal-kicking legend from 

yesteryear has died after a battle 

with illness. 

Trevor Williams, 72, was 

known for his prodigious goalkicking 

ability during the 1960s 

and 1970s. 

He won the Turner and Le 

Brun Cup for most goals in 1971 

and 1972 and was sportsman of 

the year in 1971. He could kick 

a goal from inside his own half, 

frustrating the opposition when 

they conceded penalties 60mplus 

from their goal posts. 

Said former teammate and 

coach Brian Langton: “I knew if 

he was in the side and we got a 

penalty anywhere in their half, 

there was about a 95 per cent 

chance it would go over in the 

wet or fine.” 

Mr Langton said he was in 

the same kicking mould as Don 

“The Boot” Clarke, who scored 

202 points in 89 games for the 

All Blacks between 1956-64. 

He said Williams was a “big, 

strapping man”, who was comfortable 

on the “paddock” and 

could play anywhere you put him. 

“He played most of his footy at 

fullback, but you easily put him 

wherever and he would not let 

you down,” he said. 

“He was well liked and respected 

at the club and he 

will definitely be missed,” he 

said. 

Williams’ son Brad said he 

was a classic Kiwi dad who 

“loved a beer and a punt.” 

“He had a great life. He was 

a very caring honest man who 

had a really good nature. He 

went way too early,” he said. 

Williams also coached at 

Hornby and the Halswell club.

unlikely for 

businesses 

hit by 

roadworks 

• By Julia Evans 

BUSINESSES HARD hit by 

roadworks are unlikely to get 

any compensation from the city 

council. 

In a city council report, staff 

have said it was “not considered 

feasible” for it to hand out rates 

relief or a monetary grant to 

businesses hard hit by nearby 

roadworks. 

It also questioned how much of 

declining sales revenue could be 

directly attributed to city council 

roadworks. 

Changes in market trends, local 

demographics, traffic flows and 

competition would also have to be 

considered, said the report. 

The idea came about when city 

councillor Deon Swiggs said in 

June that many businesses in his 

ward have struggled to make ends 

meet, due to city council roadworks 

taking away their parking. 

It was reported that Riccarton 

Rd businesses The Running Bull 

and Subway were forced to close 

due to ongoing roadworks. 

At its June 20 meeting, city 

councillors called for an investigation 

into some form of compensation 

– whether that be through a 

rates rebate or grant.

WESTERN NEWS 

News.......................................3-8 

I REMEMBER as a young kid in 

the 70s going to the showgrounds 

and watching an uncle, Gary, play 

league for Papanui. 

There was also a guy I vaguely 

remember kicking goals from 

inside his own half for Hornby, a 

big bloke called Trevor Williams. 

He’d take a handful of steps back, 

walk straight in and over it went. 

Sadly, Trevor passed away 

recently and today on page 1 we 

speak to another Hornby great, 

Brian Langton, about his old 

teammate. 

There were great days at the 

showgrounds during that era, 

and before, and of course into the 

1990s with the fantastic rivalries 

between Hornby and Halswell. 

And thanks to Halswell stalwart 

Darryl Hawker for letting me 

know Trevor had passed on. 

Trevor was involved in that club, 

too.

West End actor grew up in Ilam 

Returned for 

one-man show 

about his UK 

deportation 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BUILDING AN arts career on 

London’s West End is a far cry 

from reality for most – but not 

for Christchurch performer Nic 

Kyle. 

Taken under Broadway star 

Elaine Paige’s wing, Kyle, 30, 

led a soaring four-year stint, 

performing in sell-out shows in 

one of the biggest commercial 

theatre scenes in the world. 

But it all came to abrupt halt 

when the actor, who grew up 

in Ilam, found himself being 

deported. 

Kyle was in the United 

Kingdom for two years before 

deciding to get a defacto visa. 

“I was seeing an English girl 

and we decided to go into a 

partner defacto visa which in 

hindsight was probably not a 

good idea,” he said. 

THe relationship broke up but 

Kyle decided to keep the visa. 

THe visa issue was flagged 

when Kyle was being checked

“Getting deported was

heading home to Christchurch 

where he has been for the past 

month. 

It was in Germany where he 

met his girlfriend Canadian 

Sophie Schmidt, a professional 

football player who is a 

midfielder for FFC Frankfurt in 

the German national league. 

Kyle said meeting Schmidt 

was a complete coincidence 

as both her club and The 

English Theatre Frankfurt were 

sponsored by the same bank. 

“THe team always come to 

the show every year and have a 

mix and mingle with the cast 

afterwards and we always go to 

their game the week afterwards,” 

he said. 

Last week, Kyle made light 

of getting kicked out of the 

UK in his original one-man 

show Deported. For the second 

element of the show, he brought 

in city performers Matt Hudson 

and Jack Marshall to take part 

in dark comedy Coffin. 

Back in London, Kyle 

performed in the sell-out West 

End premier of the show. 

He was given the rights to 

perform the show after writer 

Elliott Langsdon found out he 

had been deported. 

Kyle will be heading back 

to Europe to travel with his 

girlfriend before he decides what 

to do next. “I am not happy I got 

deported but it has worked out 

really well . . . if I hadn’t, would 

I had ever met Sophie? Who 

knows?” he said. 

Kyle’s career on the West End 

began after he sung for Paige 

during her New Zealand 

tour. 

“I was going to move to 

Melbourne and she was like, no 

you are talking s***. I am going 

to help get you to London . . . 

and she helped get me an agent,” 

he said. 

In Brief 

TRAFFIC DELAYS 

Delays of up to 20min are 

possible at the Russley Rd and 

Memorial Ave intersection from 

August 4-6. Motorists travelling 

to and from the airport are 

advised to plan ahead and allow 

plenty of extra travel time. 

Alternatively, motorists should 

consider taking other routes 

such as Harewood Rd or the 

southern airport access road. 

CLUB LEASE RENEWED 

Burnside Rugby Football Club 

has some certainty over its 

future at Burnside Park. The 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board approved 

the club’s renewed lease of the 

rooms at the park for the next 

33 years. The lease is broken 

into three terms of 11 years 

so the club will have to seek 

renewal at the end of each term. 

NEW LONE STAR 

The city’s fourth Lone Star 

restaurant will become the 

latest tenant at Harewood’s 

Spitfire Square. The new 

restaurant is on track to open 

at the airport development in 

September. The flooring has 

been completed and the kitchen 

area has just been finished. The 

restaurant is currently seeking 

to obtain its liquor licence 

through the city council.

Getting active for health 

JACKIE HOULE is a changed 

woman compared to six months 

ago. 

Suffering from social anxiety, 

diabetes and struggling to come 

to terms with the death of her 

sister seven years ago, Ms Houle 

was at a crossroads as she went to 

her doctor’s office. 

A brave decision to try the 

green prescription’s eight-week 

Be Active programme for people 

who want to increase their 

level of physical activity, has Ms 

Houle spending more time on 

her newly-purchased exercise 

cycle than her couch. 

Participants in the programme 

try out a range of activities such 

as aqua jogging, gym, sports 

and dance. They are supported 

by Sport Canterbury staff and 

discuss motivation, healthy eating 

and managing stress – topics 

that support a healthy lifestyle 

“I’ve lost 22 pounds (10kg), 

the panic attacks that I used 

to suffer, particularly in social 

situations, are not nearly as bad 

and my blood sugar levels have 

dropped. 

I’ve even purchased an exercycle 

which I definitely wouldn’t 

have done prior to the (Be Active) 

programme,” she said. 

Ms Houle, who moved from 

her native Canada 11 years ago 

to be with her partner, says her 

TRANSFORMED: Jackie Houle encourages anyone to give the 

Be Active programme a go, regardless of fitness level, age or 

health issues. 

sister’s death had added to her 

stress. 

She has not been back to 

Canada since the tragedy but 

thanks to her progress over 

the past nine months, she is 

planning a trip back home next 

year. 

“That’s all been part of it,” she 

said: “Losing my sister made me 

really depressed for a very long 

time; we were very close. 

I’ve learnt a lot about myself 

and my health and received so 

much support. I’m glad I took 

the chance and signed up for the 

programme.” 

The Be Active programme 

begins this week in Aranui, 

Lincoln, Spreydon and 

Bishopdale. 

Ms Houle encouraged anyone 

to give it a go regardless of fitness 

level, age or health issues. 

People can refer themselves 

into the programme or talk 

to their GP about a green 

prescription. 

Another $100k to help Maddie 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

MORE THAN $100,000 has 

been raised at a fundraising 

evening to help West Melton 

teenager Maddie Collins. 

The event at the Addington 

Raceway last week drew a 

crowd of more than 300 people 

in support of Maddie, who 

is in urgent need of a kidney 

transplant. 

She is waiting to hear if she 

can get a transplant at The Johns 

Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, 

United States, which is expected 

to cost $750,000. 

Compensation unlikely for 

businesses hit by road works 

•From page 1 

But a staff report that will be 

tabled at a city council committee 

meeting says compensation via 

both methods is unfeasible. 

Staff said it would be too difficult 

to work out the specific 

objective criteria that would be 

required to define the extent of 

disruption to qualify for relief. 

Difficulties working out the 

amount of rates remission that 

would be provided and the length 

of time it should be applied were 

also cited as part of the reasoning. 

The $100k adds to the $170,000 

already raised for Maddie 

through Givealittle pages and 

community events, bringing the 

total now raised to more than 

$270,000. 

Maddie is in Auckland’s Starship 

Hospital with her mother, 

Sarah Manson Collins, this week 

having more tests and getting 

advice about Maddie’s medication 

and dialysis treatment. 

Mrs Manson Collins said 

the fundraising event was amazing. 

“It was a fantastic night and 

it was great because everybody 

got to laugh,” she said. 

A grant would be easier to 

establish but it would still be 

too hard to work out who was 

entitled. 

“Financial compensation by 

establishing a new type of grant 

would be more feasible 

. . . however, there would remain 

a significant practical difficulty in 

defining who should qualify,” the 

report said. 

It is recommended the committee 

receive the information in the 

report at Wednesday’s meeting 

but no further action is likely to 

be taken.

Residents win liquor store battle 


“WHEN A neighbourhood 

rallies, we can do anything.” 

That was reaction of Harewood 

resident Colin Fussell after 

a long-running bid to set up a 

liquor store in Trafford St failed. 

Nearby residents had opposed 

the Harewood Bottle Store fighting 

it tooth and nail for more 

than eight months. 

Businessman Samarth Rajeshkumar 

Limbachiya’s application 

for a liquor licence to operate 

the Harewood Bottle Store 

was declined by the city council’s 

district licensing committee 

last week. 

Said Mr Fussell when contacted 

by Western News : “I’m 

swinging from the rafters.” 

But the battle may not be over 

as the decision could be subject 

to an appeal by Mr Limbachiya’s 

if he applies within 10 working 

days. 

The end of that appeal period is 

August 9. 

Western News has not been 

able to make contact with Mr 

Limbachiya to see if he will appeal. 

And Mr Fussell said although 

that comes with the territory, the 

residents would be ready for another 

fight so it would be a waste 

of the applicant’s money. 

“Our opposition will be ready 

and waiting,” Mr Fussell said. 

He and fellow Trafford St resident 

Bruce Tulloch championed 

a petition against the application 

that was signed by 1144 people. 

And the city council received 

86 further public objections 

before the hearing on July 13 

and 14. 

Mr Tulloch said there are 

more than enough options for 

buying liquor in the area so 

there was no logic behind granting 

yet another licence. 

He thanked everyone who had 

contributed to the campaign. 

Mr Fussell said while this battle 

was won, the war is not over. 

“The battle has been won but 

we need to address the greater 

issue in other neighbourhoods 

who are facing the same problem,” 

Mr Fussell said. 

CHAMPION: 

The battle is over 

for Trafford St 

residents Bruce 

Tulloch (left) and 

Colin Fussell.

KING 

In its report, the licensing 

committee said granting the application 

would be detrimental 

to the neighbourhood. 

“We have formed the opinion 

that amenity and good order 

would be reduced by more than 

a minor amount. The foreseen 

reduction may not be great but it 

is likely to impact on the people 

who live in the vicinity,” the 

report said. 

Dementia care 

centre planned 

for Avonhead 

retiree village 

A NEW retirement village 

planned for Avonhead will offer 

specialised care for people with 

dementia. 

Summerset has purchased land 

to build its third Christchurch 

retirement village, which will 

include a memory care centre. 

Chief executive Julian Cook 

said the 9.5ha property on 

Hawthornden Rd is close to the 

Russley golf course and other 

recreational areas. 

“We are thrilled to be able to 

secure this land,” Mr Cook said. 

The memory care centre – a 

new concept to support residents 

living with dementia – will provide 

one bedroom apartments in 

a secure environment. 

“We are the first (company) in 

New Zealand to launch this style 

of apartment living for those living 

with dementia,” he said. 

The new Avonhead retirement 

home will become a thriving 

community with more than 240 

homes planned for the site. 

It will include two and three 

bedroom villas, apartments and 

serviced apartments, as well as 

high quality rest home and hospital 

care.

NEW: The modern building still encapsulates some of Villa Maria’s long history. 

New Villa Maria building 

blessed at opening 

A NEW and modern 

teaching block has been 

opened at Villa Maria 

College in time for 

the school’s upcoming 

centenary. 

The new classroom block 

was blessed last week and 

offers a nod to the school’s 

history. 

“The committee that 

was established to choose a 

name for the new building 

loved the idea of cherishing 

the history of the college, “ 

principal Deborah Brosnahan 

said. 

The college has named 

its new building Kia Toa, 

which was the name of 

the original late 1800s 

homestead the Sisters of 

Mercy purchased as part 

of the Peer St property in 

1918. 

“We understand Kia Toa 

means to be brave and to 

store. Kia Toa expresses 

these ideas for the building 

as a place from which girls 

will set off, strongly and 

bravely with their store of 

knowledge to take the story 

OPEN: The Reverend John Adams from the Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch blessing Kia Toa. 

of mercy with them,” she 

said. 

Kia Toa boasts 17 large 

teaching spaces for technology 

learning, including 

food, textiles and digital 

as well as media studies, 

english, social sciences and 

religious education. 

And it is part of the college’s 

10-year modernisation 

programme. 

Next February marks 

Villa Maria’s centenary, 

with celebration planning 

already well under way.

SPEECH: Jo Johnstone (left), Belfast School’s deputy 

principal, welcoming Sue Elley. 

Hornby High plays a big part of welcome 

for new Belfast School principal 


HORNBY HIGH students 

were part of a special Mihi 

Whakatau, a Maori welcoming 

for the new Belfast School 

principal. 

Sue Elley, who is taking up 

the role, said it was the most 

wonderful experience. 

She replaces veteran principal, 

Peter Simpson, who sat at 

the helm of the school for 23 

years. 

GOODBYE: Head boy, Billy Roper of Hornby High School 

speaking fluent Te Reo in the ceremony welcoming Sue Elley 

to Belfast School. 

Belfast pupils welcomed Mrs 

Elley with a kapa haka performance 

and speeches. 

And students and staff from 

Hornby High School, where 

she worked as the assistant 

principal for four years, were 

also there. 

The Hornby students performed 

as a kapa haka group 

and head boy Billy Roper gave 

a goodbye speech in Te Reo. 

“It brought a really nice closure 

to that part of my life. My 

previous students physically 

took me to the new school,” 

she said. 

Above all, the mihi really 

introduced Mrs Elley to the 

overwhelming sense of community 

that the Belfast School 

has. 

“It’s such a strong community 

based school . . . Belfast 

isn’t really a suburb, it is its 

own town on the edge of a 

city,” she said. 

But the new role, will bring 

some a new challenges that 

Mrs Elley said she’s very excited 

to begin. 

It’s her first time as a principal. 

However, she said with 

the support of the school 

community and collegian of 

experienced principals she’s 

in contact with, she’s in good 

hands.

Saints march up 

the high school 

football ladder 


ST THOMAS have returned 

to the top of the table in the 

Connetics first XI football 

competition with a tight 1-0 

victory over St Andrew’s College. 

They now turn their attention 

to ninth placed Riccarton 

High, who St Thomas 

coach Richard Washington 

said will be a determined 

side with nothing to lose 

and everything to gain. 

The team known as the 

‘saints’ are taking it one 

game at a time, but with 

two rounds left before the 

semi-finals, they know they need 

to keep putting in solid performances. 

Washington said the growth 

in the team this year has been 

amazing. 

“The brotherhood is tight, the 

school are right behind the team 

and we will be hoping for a quality 

performance,” he said. 

The two western schools will 

face off at the Christchurch

will watch from the sidelines with 

a bye and will be hoping results 

go their way to hold on to second 

spot on the table, which they 

earned with a 5-1 win over 

Christ’s College last week. 

Middleton Grange, who 

were beaten 3-0 by Cashmere 

High last week, will 

have a tough task ahead of 

them tomorrow night when 

they face St Andrew’s who 

will be no doubt hurting 

after dropping from first to

at 4pm.

Burnside High find late season form 


BURNSIDE HIGH recorded 

their first win of the season in 

the UC Championship with a 

tight 33-31 victory over Mid- 

Canterbury Combined on 

Saturday. 

With two rounds to go, it 

would have been a nervous time 

for the boys from Memorial Ave 

as they contemplated a potentially 

winless season. 

Down 18-0 at halftime, the 

thought of another defeat must 

have stirred something inside 

Burnside as they came out and 

scored 33 points in the second 

half giving them a bonus point 

win and moving them off the 

bottom of the table. 

St Thomas tried playing catchup 

against Nelson yesterday, 

losing 23-20 after the round 12 

game was postponed due to the 

recent deluge on July 22. The 

loss follows their 17-12 defeat

GO-Advanced 

Omega-PC Fish Oil 

It is well known how important 

omega-3 fatty acids are to good 

health. It is estimated most people 

don’t even get a third of the 

recommended omega-3 fatty acids 

on a weekly basis. Countries with 

a higher amounts of omega-3 in 

their diet are known to have lower 

cardiovascular disease and, in 

many cases, better overall health. 

Recent research has shown 

inflammation to be a big part of 

disease and the ageing process. 

Fish oil can help reduce 

inflammation by providing 

essential fatty acids required 

by the body to heal itself and 

maintain good health. Until now 

most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty 

acids in triglyceride form. Fish, however, 

naturally contain omega-3 in triglyceride 

and phospholipid form but until recently 

the phospholipid form was lost due to the 

manufacturing process. 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new 

standards in fish oil as it contains 

omega-3 attached to both triglycerides 

and phospholipids. Studies have shown 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better 

absorbed, leading to increased levels of 

vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs 

thru giving the potential for more health 

benefits. 

121 Skyhawk Road 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced 

from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish 

using a new advanced and more natural 

cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found 

in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP 

standards and is molecularly distilled to 

remove any containments, toxins and 

heavy metals. 

Further info on this revolutionary new 

fish oil and its benefits is available from

Osteoporosis is a serious condition 

...but research shows it can be reversed! 

Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious 

condition by most people! Most people 

don’t realise they have osteoporosis until 

a fracture happens, as there are usually 

no signs or symptoms. Fractures can 

commonly be debilitating with chronic 

pain and can lead to early mortality. 

Fractures kill more women than all 

gynaecological cancers put together and 

one in six women taken to hospital with 

a hip fracture, will not come out alive and 

men fare even worse. Around one in three 

women and one in twelve men are affected 

with osteoporosis. 

The most common osteoporotic fractures 

are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip. 

Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture 

and causes back pain often with shooting 

pains due to compression of the nerves. 

Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a 

stooped posture, loss of height and chronic 

pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures, 

in particular, usually require prompt 

surgery, as there is a serious risk associated 

with it of deep vein thrombosis and 

pulmonary embolism leading to increased 

mortality. 

Osteoporosis literally means “bones with 

holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals 

such as calcium more quickly than the 

body can replace them. Although calcium 

is essential for bone health other minerals 

like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals 

like silica, boron, manganese, copper are 

essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have 

been shown to be essential in a bone 

support program. 

A less well known mineral strontium, 

Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat 

that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research 

has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when 

the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium & 

vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases. 

A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium. 

Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density. 

Bringing You the Best in Natural Health! 

WESTERN NEWS 

that is naturally found in your bones 

has been researched and found in 

four landmark studies to actually 

reverse bone loss when sufficient other 

nutrients are present. One study of 1,649 

postmenopausal women with osteoporosis 

who had had at least one fracture were 

divided into two groups. Both groups 

took vitamin D and calcium supplements. 

One group were also given 680mg/day 

of strontium. After the three year study 

the strontium group showed an unheard 

of average bone growth of 8.1%. This 

study shows that osteoporosis can not 

only be halted but may even be reversed 

and without the side effects of common 

osteoporosis drugs.

support your bone density and overall 

health is available from the natural 

health specialists at Marshall’s Health

Take a trip with 

Third Aged Tours 

Taking people aged over 50 on trips 

around New Zealand and the world for 

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours 

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby- 

Yarrall says “businesses would give their 

eye teeth for.’’ 

“Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people 

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed, 

companionable manner. We have an 

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about 

having fun”. 

“Most of my trips are run annually 

because they’re so 

popular, but I’m always 

adding new destinations 

- like “Sicily, South Italy 

& Vatican” + “Cuba”, as 

people ask for them.’’ 

Brenda checks out 

all accommodation 

before booking it, and 

ensures the party spends 

at least a few nights at 

each place. “That way 

you don’t feel like you’re 

living out of a suitcase.’’ 

Many clients now have 

made over 20 tours with 

us, one has completed a 

whopping 27 tours. 

“My clients tell me 

they keep coming back 

because of the size of the groups and our 

relaxed manner. My motto is ‘There are no 

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’ 

We gather together for breakfast at 

8.30am which sets us up for the day and 

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.’’ 

“I organise incredible trips at incredible 

prices. Look around, you can’t find better 

for all we include”.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

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

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

Remove 

cooking smells 

and steam! 

Remote 

extraction fans 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

WESTERN NEWS 

Experience expert 

dental care 

Six fabulous years and still going strong! 

The team of Fendalton Dental Surgery 

takes this opportunity to thank their 

loyal patients, the supportive Canterbury 

dental fraternity and the wonderful local 

community. They celebrate yet another 

glorious anniversary after being forced 

to relocate to this premises after the 

earthquakes in 2011. It used to be called 

Cambridge Dental Surgery while they 

were in the CBD but since moving to this 

lovely Fendalton suburb in July 2011. 

Fendalton Dental Surgery, on the 

high profile corner of Idris & Glandovey 

Roads has been looking after the dental 

needs of the local community as well 

as the wider Christchurch area since 

2011. Dentists Keith Chiang and Zohnia 

McNeill and Oral Health Therapist, Amy 

Lee offer a complete range of dental 

and oral care services, all in a very calm 

and relaxed environment. Supporting 

them are dental nurses Simone and Jola 

and the ever-efficient highly organised 

practice manager, Aysha who bring with 

them their very own style and range of 

competencies in each and every aspect. 

“We listen carefully to what our patients 

tell us so we can address each of their 

dental problems and help them achieve 

good oral health,” says Keith. 

A major component of Keith’s work 

is under IV sedation, which is available 

for people that are very nervous about 

visiting the dentist. He has performed 

more than 2000 Intravenous sedation 

procedures and the clinic is equipped 

with the latest advanced equipment for 

sedation monitoring. He has a special 

interest in Oral Surgery, Impacted 

wisdom teeth, surgical extractions, 

Placement of Implants and Intra venous 

sedation. 

For people with damaged or missing 

teeth, Zohnia will discuss with them the 

options of having crowns, permanent 

implants or dentures fitted, all of which 

have the added advantage of helping 

clients regain their functional bite as 

well as improve their smile and overall 

confidence. She has a special interest in 

Cosmetic dentistry, Root Canals and 

Geriatric dentistry. Her calm approach 

and special individual attention to detail 

has helped deal with most common dental 

issues in her patients. 

Amy Lee, our Oral Therapist and 

Hygienist specialises in the overall 

maintenance of healthy teeth and gums. 

She educates her patients on how to look 

The team at Fendalton Dental Surgery 

after their oral health, which if not taken 

care of can have detrimental effects on 

their overall health. The gum disease, 

Gingivitis is one of the main reasons 

why people lose their teeth and can be 

a social stigma with bad breath, while 

research also indicates that gum disease 

or otherwise called Gingivitis in pregnant 

women can mean a higher chance of 

premature birth and low birth weight. 

Dry mouth or reduced salivary flow, 

which is caused by certain medications 

that people take can also lead to gum 

problems and tooth decay. By visiting the 

hygienist regularly, gum problems can be 

prevented, and consequently tooth decay 

as well as more serious health issues can 

be avoided. 

Fendalton Dental Surgery will soon add 

to its suite of advanced dental equipment 

with a state-of-the-art 3D CT scanner, 

which will be used to scan jaws, enabling 

the dentists to give a better diagnosis of 

clients’ dental problems. 

The Fendalton Dental Team invites 

you and new patients to visit their 

practice and experience Expert Care as 

being one of their valued patients. Easily 

accessible, highly visible and with plenty 

of on-site parking, Fendalton Dental 

Surgery, on the corner of Glandovey and 

Idris road, is open Monday to Friday 

8.30am-5pm. Phone 351 1188 for an 

appointment, or simply call in.
