SOLUTIONS TO ongoing problems at<br />
the Riccarton bus lounge will drag on<br />
for some time yet.<br />
The lounge, on the corner of<br />
Riccarton Rd and Division St, has<br />
been plagued with youth issues since it<br />
opened in December 2015.<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> revealed last week that<br />
a number of recommendations from<br />
a working party were to be discussed<br />
at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board meeting on Tuesday<br />
night – including more police presence<br />
in the area.<br />
The working party consisting of board<br />
members, business and landowners,<br />
police, community groups and residents’<br />
association representatives have made<br />
recommendations, which the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community Board<br />
received at its meeting last week.<br />
Three recommendations were<br />
approved by the community board and<br />
will go to the city council for further<br />
discussion.<br />
These are an additional police<br />
presence, a bylaw which would allow<br />
arrests and instant fines to be issued and<br />
continued assistance for business owners<br />
when removing graffiti. The other 16<br />
recommendations will come back to the<br />
community board for discussion in a<br />
month’s time.<br />

WHAT AN election it’s going to<br />
be on Saturday night.<br />
The best and potentially the<br />
closest in many years, and one<br />
which will shape the country’s<br />
future for sometime.<br />
Star Media, publisher of the<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>, will be following<br />
the election on our website www.<br />
star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters<br />
out on the street and bringing<br />
you latest updates through the<br />
afternoon and into the night.<br />
The Star on Thursday will also<br />
have an in-depth election preview.<br />
The polls clearly show people<br />
have shifted to voting for either<br />
National and Labour and this<br />
could spell doom for many<br />
smaller party politicians who<br />
have made it into Parliament on<br />
the back of MMP.<br />
Indications are voter turnout<br />
will be high and which ever party<br />
mobilises its supporters best on<br />
Saturday will win.<br />

New principal ready to lead<br />
Fashion<br />
<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
ST THOMAS of Canterbury<br />
College’s new principal is<br />
looking forward to his big move<br />
down the hallway.<br />
Deputy principal and head<br />
of sport, Steve Hart, will<br />
be principal starting at the<br />
beginning of next year. Mr Hart<br />
has been deputy principal for<br />
10 years and has been with the<br />
Gardening<br />
school for 13 years.<br />
He will be taking over from<br />
the current principal Christine<br />
O’Neill – who announced her<br />
resignation earlier this year.<br />
Mr Hart said he feels really<br />
grateful to be leading the school.<br />
“It’s an amazing place here.<br />
We produce top quality young<br />
men and I feel privileged to lead<br />
Motoring<br />
them and the school,” Mr Hart<br />
said.<br />
He is looking forward to<br />
working with the staff and<br />
helping develop them as leaders.<br />
Mr Hart said his favourite<br />
part of his role as deputy<br />
principal was working with the<br />
students.<br />
Tasty Bites<br />
“I love coming to work each<br />
day. The students are honest and<br />
enthusiastic and they always put<br />
a smile on my face,” Mr Hart<br />
said.<br />

LATE NIGHT THURSDAY<br />
Starts 28th <strong>September</strong> - Open till 6.30pm<br />
Mr Hart said his role as head<br />
of sport was another chance<br />
to help young men develop.<br />
He said they received the best<br />
results when they focused on<br />
performance goals rather than<br />
the outcome.<br />
“I read a quote once which<br />
said ‘sport is a great practise<br />
for life’ and this is so true,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Hart said St Thomas of<br />
LAwyERS<br />
Canterbury’s improvement in<br />
sport is 100 per cent down to the<br />
hard work staff members put in<br />
when coaching and taking on<br />
other voluntary roles.<br />
He said the future is bright for<br />
the school.<br />
Board of trustees chairman,<br />
Andrew Steel, said they are<br />
“pleased to have someone of Mr<br />
Hart’s calibre to lead the school<br />
into the next stage of college life,<br />

by the current principal Mrs<br />
Christine O’Neill.”<br />
“One of his focuses has been<br />
the embedding of restorative<br />
justice practices which has been<br />
challenging and ultimately<br />
successful,” Mr Steel said.<br />
The board of trustees are<br />
yet to decide on who will be<br />
replacing Mr Hart as deputy<br />
principal.<br />

Improving ways to get<br />
people from home to work<br />
Halswell<br />
Residents’<br />
Association<br />
secretary David<br />
Hawke writes<br />
about Halswell,<br />
recent changes<br />
and its future<br />
WE ALL know that Halswell,<br />
towns and suburbs around<br />
Christchurch’s west will keep<br />
growing. So, we have to work out<br />
how to get people from where<br />
they live to where they work.<br />
I’ve recently done some<br />
counting at the Lincoln Rd and<br />
Whiteleigh Ave intersection in<br />
the morning rush hour. People<br />
on bicycles make up nine per<br />
cent of the traffic entering<br />
Addington village, and 11 per<br />
cent are on the bus. The rest of us<br />
are in cars, and 80 per cent have<br />
just the driver.<br />
There are two ways of approaching<br />
this problem. First,<br />
the big solution. Forget the new<br />
motorway; people I know in<br />
Rolleston are eagerly awaiting<br />
it so they can zoom into the<br />
central city, so the motorway<br />
won’t help. How about light rail<br />
(i.e. a modern-day tram) along<br />
Halswell and Lincoln Rds?<br />
Addington folks I’ve spoken to<br />
are enthusiastic because it would<br />
enhance their community.<br />
Alternatively, there could be<br />
lots of little solutions. Did you<br />
know that secondary school<br />
principals will no longer take out<br />
of zone students? This will cut<br />
down the hauling that happens<br />
every school day. Then, there<br />
is continuing to grow the city’s<br />
cycleway network, and e-bikes<br />
may get to be really important<br />
for longer commutes. Doubling<br />
the frequency of the buses from<br />
15 minutes to seven to eight<br />
minutes would help too, but this<br />
starts to look like a convoy.<br />
What about car sharing?<br />
Sadly, people these days often<br />
don’t know their neighbours so<br />
they are hardly likely to share a<br />
car with a person living blocks<br />
away. Applying a levy on sole occupancy<br />
cars at rush hour might<br />
encourage this sort of chumminess,<br />
but does city council have<br />
the political will?<br />
So, we are left with politically<br />
difficult alternatives. Pay for light<br />
rail, or charge single occupancy<br />
vehicles. Personally, I think city<br />
council will go with the light rail.<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article about a proposal<br />
by Fendalton residents<br />
to make Rochdale St<br />
‘residents only’ to stop<br />
drivers using it as a<br />
shortcut, which was<br />
declined by the city council<br />
Megan Bowie – I think I’ll<br />
make a point of driving down<br />
there now, every chance I get.<br />
The arrogance is strong with this<br />
street.<br />
Janine Hale – How is it a<br />
‘shortcut’ when it is a legal public<br />
road . . . surely it’s just one of<br />
many routes to get to a destination?<br />
Jennie Moreton – Every<br />
nasty comment reflects the bias<br />
of the posters who have made<br />
judgements about the people<br />
living in Rochdale St – probably<br />
without meeting any of them.<br />
For the record, I don’t live there,<br />
I have taken the shortcut down<br />
that street in the past and I don’t<br />
think any public road should be<br />
closed to non-residents.<br />
Daniel Thompson – How<br />
would they police that? They’d<br />
have needed to ask for checkpoints<br />
at both ends of the street.<br />
Then are the enforcers there on<br />
rotating shifts 24/7 or would it be<br />
accessed via some kind of swipe<br />
card?<br />
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s<br />
a street not a private road. You<br />
knew that when you bought<br />
there.<br />
John Bartlett – Head out to<br />
east Christchurch and look at the<br />
state of the roads there. Shocking<br />
and they moan about a bit of<br />
traffic.<br />
Clarissa Douglas – This<br />
street and its residents have a<br />
lot of issues . . . If you don’t like<br />
it move, I’m sure there’s people<br />
out there who would love to live<br />
there and not moan.<br />
Jennie Moreton – What a<br />
lot of nasty comments. If you<br />
don’t ask, you don’t get, so why<br />
shouldn’t they try? Didn’t work<br />
but what’s the harm?<br />
Chelcie Tamaira – I just<br />
find this hilarious. Sorry. Do<br />
they want to be like a Hollywood<br />
gated community? It’s so funny.<br />

already pointed out, how would<br />

Bus lounge problems<br />
• From page 1<br />
Local businesses have<br />
declined to comment on<br />
the issue but community<br />
board deputy chairwoman<br />
Helen Broughton said the<br />
situation is not ideal.<br />
“It’s quite hard to pass<br />
a lot of recommendations<br />
at a board meeting. My<br />
guess is we will have a<br />
workshop on them first,”<br />
Mrs Broughton said.<br />
Community board<br />
chairman Mike Mora said<br />
he thinks the community<br />
board is doing its best.<br />
“We’re going as quick<br />
as we can. There are laws<br />
in place now if somebody<br />
breaches trespass orders<br />
the police are contacted,”<br />
Mr Mora said.<br />
No police were at the<br />
community board meeting<br />
but Constable Aaron Thorn<br />
said “the city council talks<br />
about trespassing, they<br />
seem to think we have the<br />
power to trespass anyone<br />
from anywhere but we can<br />
only trespass people from a<br />
private area.”<br />
“They seem to think<br />
we have powers in the<br />
Summary Offences Act.<br />
And there is one but the<br />
problem is we have to<br />
Save<br />

to commit an offence<br />
which can be quite<br />
difficult,” Constable Thorn<br />
said.<br />
Removing WiFi is not<br />
going to be solution to the<br />
anti-social behaviour.<br />
The community board<br />
has taken away the word<br />
‘removing’ and replaced<br />
it with ‘using’ in the WiFi<br />
recommendation.<br />
The amended<br />
recommendation reads<br />
– The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community<br />
Board request staff to<br />
report back to the board<br />
on the viability and<br />
implications of using<br />
the free WiFi from the<br />
Riccarton bus lounge.<br />
City councillor Vicki<br />
Buck said the wording<br />
needed to be changed<br />
because the city council<br />
is trying to extend WiFi<br />
connections in central<br />
city.<br />
“Installing WiFi along<br />
Riccarton Rd is a good<br />
idea. WiFi is a basic thing<br />
now. It should be on<br />
buses. I’m not in favour<br />
of removing access to the<br />
internet,” Cr Vicki Buck<br />

WWE superfans<br />
meet wrestling idol<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ZEINAT ALEBEL almost broke<br />
down in tears when she met her<br />
WWE professional wrestling<br />
idol, Dean Ambrose.<br />
The 18-year-old Sockburn<br />
resident would describe herself<br />
as a wrestling super fan.<br />
Which was proved after she<br />
and her sister Sofiya, 14, lined<br />
up from 7am at The Hub Hornby<br />
for the chance to meet Raw<br />
tag team champion, Ambrose.<br />
“My heart is racing,” she said.<br />
Zeinat got Ambrose to sign<br />
her cellphone, which she said<br />
was now one of her favourite<br />
possessions.<br />
After the 3pm meet and greet,<br />
the teens went to WWE Live at<br />
Horncastle Arena – the only live<br />
wrestling event in the country.<br />
Zeinat said seeing WWE Live<br />
was seven years in the making.<br />
“Last time we saw them I was<br />
11 and Sofiya was 7.”<br />
But she said they’d both been<br />
watching it on television for as<br />
long as they can remember, if<br />
not longer.<br />
“I’ve been watching since<br />
<strong>19</strong>99 and I was born in <strong>19</strong>99,”<br />

Zeinat said.<br />
She, along with almost 300<br />
other fans, lined up from 7am to<br />
get the wrist bands that would<br />
see them meet Ambrose later in<br />
the day and get his signature.<br />
Zeinat said she and Sofiya<br />
went to The Hub early for the<br />
meet and greet.<br />
“It was so worth it,” she said.<br />

ARTIST RUBY Williams<br />
stood on the workshop floor of<br />
ENI Engineering in Halswell’s<br />
industrial outskirts.<br />
It might not seem like a place<br />
for creating art but the 15-yearold<br />
Villa Maria College student<br />
couldn’t wipe the smile off her<br />
face.<br />
Ruby saw the sculpture she<br />
designed as part of the SCAPE<br />
Public Art season for the first<br />
time.<br />
“It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I<br />
had in mind. Absolutely perfect,”<br />
she said.<br />
The mammoth steel branch,<br />
which will be fixed to a tree in<br />
Hagley Park, was shaped by ENI<br />
engineer Paul Bacon.<br />
It’s not something he gets to do<br />
very often.<br />
Ruby picked out the “pinkypurple”<br />
shade it will be painted,<br />

become successful artist<br />
saying it represented her personality.<br />
Ruby’s mum Breda said her<br />
“budding artist” had been waiting<br />
eagerly to see the sculpture<br />
all day. She was “so, so proud” of<br />
her daughter.<br />
Ruby won the chance to see<br />
her sketches come to life after<br />
winning the senior section of the<br />
Re:ACTIVATE project.<br />
“I don’t know how to explain<br />
how it feels. It’s just really, really<br />
cool to finally see it,” Ruby said.<br />
The branch will be on display<br />
for six weeks during the public<br />
art season from October 7.<br />
It will even feature as a stop<br />
on the public walk, which takes<br />
people on a tour of all the public<br />
art in the city.<br />
The teen said seeing the<br />
branch had given her the drive<br />
to keep chasing her creative<br />
dreams.<br />

Break-in at taekwondo<br />
club; gear stolen<br />
Fashion<br />
<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A HEI Hei taekwondo club is<br />
trying to make-do after gear was<br />
stolen out of their shed last week.<br />
Said KIX Taekwondo Christchurch<br />
instructor, Jupiter Bignotea:<br />
“Basically what was taken was<br />
the gear that we use every day.<br />
Gardening<br />
We are a not-for-profit club so all<br />
our funding is in the fees of the<br />
students. When time accumulates<br />
we will be able to buy some more<br />
gear but getting all this gear will<br />
take time,” he said.<br />
The shed was broken into early<br />
last Monday morning.<br />
Forty-eight interlocking red<br />
and blue mats, seven kick shields,<br />
Motoring<br />
eight paddle target pads, 16 focus<br />
punch pads, two medicine balls,<br />
a first aid kit, one boxing punch<br />
bag, two agility ladders, two sets<br />
of elastic bands, skipping ropes,<br />
personalised screens and a novelty<br />
gong were stolen.<br />
Landlord, Tracey Buunk, said<br />
Mr Bignotea is doing such a<br />
Tasty Bites<br />
good job with the club and it is<br />
disappointing someone would<br />
do this.<br />
She said they have three sheds<br />
and a container – which people<br />
are working from because they<br />
are building extensions.<br />
“All the locks got cut off and<br />
they went through items in the<br />
other sheds but they took a lot of<br />
Mr Bignotea’s stuff that he has<br />
for the groups he runs – he runs<br />
two sometimes three classes a<br />
week. He has a good turnout of<br />
local people, a lot walk to the<br />
venue so this has really hit us<br />
hard,” Mrs Buunk said.<br />
Mrs Buunk said the estimated<br />
$3500 of equipment was not<br />
insured by the club. And because<br />
she didn’t know that, it wasn’t<br />
listed separately under her insurance<br />
which means if she made<br />
a claim, the excess would be<br />
$5000.<br />
“We decided to try monitor<br />

our shed ourself. I installed a<br />
security system on the shed. If<br />
someone opened the door or<br />
tried to break in without turning<br />
off the alarm it would send text<br />
notifications to the instructors.<br />
The message sent at 12.10am<br />
Monday morning and of course<br />
we are all asleep at the time,” Mr<br />
Bignotea said.<br />
A senior student from the club<br />
has set up a Givealittle page to<br />
help buy new gear.<br />
Mr Bignotea said there are 29<br />
mats which were left behind and<br />
students are bringing in their<br />
own gear to train with.<br />

NINETEEN silver birch trees<br />
in Halswell residents have<br />
campaigned to be cut down will<br />
not face the axe.<br />
John and Gillian Gartly along<br />
with neighbours down Rempstone<br />
Drive have been seeking<br />
approval to cut the trees down<br />
for 10 years.<br />
Last week the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board<br />
agreed with the staff recommendation<br />
to leave the trees.<br />
Mr Gartly described the<br />
whole situation as a “typical city<br />
council farcical, giving people<br />
the concept they have some say,<br />
when they really don’t, because<br />
the decision is already made.”<br />
Mr Gartly who has lived on<br />
Rempstone Drive for nearly two<br />
decades, said the trees cause<br />
two problems for the residents<br />
– they’re a nuisance and a<br />
health risk. He thinks his wife’s<br />
allergies are caused by them.<br />
Community board deputy<br />
chairwoman, Helen Broughton,<br />
said: “If people come back as<br />
a group, I’m happy to open it<br />
up again. They have put a lot of<br />
effort in to getting it this far. We<br />
Local<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />
Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Silver birches will<br />
not be cut down<br />
can come back to this if we need<br />
to.”<br />
Community board member<br />
Debbie Mora questioned the<br />
health risks of leaving the trees<br />
on the residential street but<br />
was reassured by city council<br />
arborist Jonathan Hansen.<br />
“Someone needs to prove that<br />
the trees are the sole cause,” Mr<br />
Hansen said.<br />
Mr Hansen said they received<br />
advise from the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board and this<br />
is the best they can do given the<br />
circumstances.<br />
Mr Gartly said they will<br />
determine their next step<br />
once they receive a copy of the<br />
community board resolution.<br />
Money<br />
“Now is the moment we’ve been<br />
waiting for. It’s time. This is our<br />
opportunity to build a better, fairer<br />
future for New Zealand. To fix our<br />
healthcare, grow our economy,<br />
respect our environment and to look<br />
after our towns as much as our cities.<br />
It’s time to change things for the<br />
better. I’m ready. We’re ready.”<br />
Jacinda Ardern, Labour Leader<br />
Ruth<br />
Dyson<br />
for Port Hills<br />
As your local Member of Parliament, I listen to<br />
people, work hard and get things done. We need<br />
affordable housing, better mental health services<br />
and truly swimmable rivers and lakes. I want to<br />
be part of a Labour-led government that delivers<br />
these things for all New Zealanders.<br />

Disability group struggling for volunteers<br />
Old library becomes thriving Halswell community hub<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
THE OLD Halswell Library<br />
building has been turned into a<br />
new community hub.<br />
Earlier this year, the Halswell<br />
Community Project, along<br />
with Community Development<br />
Network Trust and Kiwi Church,<br />
put a proposal to the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board and city council for the<br />
use of the old library.<br />
The proposal was successful<br />
and a lease for the building on<br />
381 Halswell Rd was given in<br />
June.<br />
Halswell Community<br />
Project co-ordinator Kate<br />
Cleverly said the building<br />
will have a community<br />
focus.<br />
“We plan to establish a<br />
collaborative community<br />
approach to use of the<br />
old library building and<br />
car park, providing local<br />
groups with much-needed office<br />
space and space to hold activities<br />
and store the materials needed<br />

A HOON Hay group which<br />
caters for people with disabilities<br />
may not survive without more<br />
volunteers.<br />
Handiscope meets weekly and<br />
provides people with intellectual<br />
and physical disabilities facilities<br />
HELPING: Dot Johnston helps<br />
Linda to make cards at Hoon<br />
Hay Handiscope.<br />
for them. So far, we have set<br />
up office space, a large usable<br />
community space, an<br />
interview room and an<br />
information hub where<br />
people can drop in and<br />
find details of local<br />
clubs, organisations and<br />
businesses,” Ms Cleverly<br />
said.<br />
Other groups using the<br />
hub include a Halswell<br />
craft group and HIPPY, which<br />
supports children, young people<br />
and families. The hub also hosts<br />
for craftwork, recreation and<br />
companionship.<br />
Hoon Hay Handiscope supervisor<br />
Dot Johnston said the<br />
group only has three volunteers<br />
and that isn’t enough.<br />
“We need volunteers to pour<br />
the cups of tea, clean dishes and<br />
make sandwiches,” she said.<br />
“I would prefer to be in with<br />
the people, keeping an eye on<br />
what they’re doing, but I can’t<br />
because I have to be where I’m<br />
needed,” Mrs Johnston said.<br />
She has been with the group for<br />
about 40 years and loves seeing<br />
youth group meetings and a<br />
casual coffee morning.<br />
Don Reeves, of the Halswell<br />
Menz Shed, created an outdoor<br />
chess set for the new hub.<br />
He said the set took about<br />
a year to create. “I got some<br />
ideas off the computer, made the<br />
shapes myself and just started to<br />
make them,” Mr Reeves said.<br />
“There were so many people<br />
who were willing to give their<br />
time and effort to help the community<br />
to grow and be happy,”<br />
he said. Ms Cleverly said the<br />
how happy the people who come<br />
along are when they are socialising<br />
and making crafts.<br />
There are five Handiscopes in<br />
Canterbury and Mrs Johnston<br />
said others, such as the one in<br />
Nelson, have had to close.<br />
•If you are interested in<br />
becoming a volunteer, get in<br />

happen. The hub is open most<br />
days so drop in and chat with<br />

They then wrote notes of love<br />

each plant.<br />
The students delivered the<br />
plants to City Mission where<br />
they were split between the<br />

St Thomas’ league talent on trial<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST THOMAS’ Seth Tauamiti<br />
and Jordan Riki have been<br />
named in the New Zealand<br />
Resident 18s team.<br />
The team will compete<br />
in a trial against Taurahere<br />
– which is made up of<br />
New Zealand-born players<br />
currently plying their trade<br />
in Australia – on Saturday in<br />
Auckland.<br />
A New Zealand 18s<br />
team will be selected from<br />
the match to take on the<br />
Australian Schoolboys later<br />
this month.<br />
The last time a New Zealand<br />
18s fixture took place was in<br />
2015.<br />
St Thomas’ league coach<br />
Andrew Auimatagi said both<br />
lads have a heap of potential<br />
and it is great to see it being<br />
recognised.<br />
“They thoroughly deserve<br />
it and have done really well. It<br />
is great to see two young guys<br />
able to start to make a career<br />
out of it [league],” he said.<br />
Tauamiti plays second row<br />
in league and No 8 in union,<br />
while Riki is a utility back in<br />
both codes. Both play for the<br />
St Thomas’ league team and<br />
featured heavily in the school’s<br />
first XV.<br />
Celebration Lions second<br />
row/centre Daniel Sakisi was<br />
also included in the side. He<br />
also played in the Shirley Boys’<br />
High first XV team this year.<br />

Prop takes conversion<br />
in last game of season<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST THOMAS’ first XV prop<br />
Tommy Taualai was given the<br />
last opportunity of the season to<br />
put points on the board with a<br />
conversion attempt on Tuesday<br />
against Oamaru’s St Kevin’s<br />
College.<br />
In the dying seconds of the<br />
game, the year 13 student lined<br />
up a kick from near the lefthand<br />
touchline, as St Thomas’<br />
supporters ramped up the<br />
volume in an attempt to will the<br />
kick over.<br />
St Thomas’ won the game<br />
38-12, running in six tries in<br />
their final hit-out of the season,<br />
reclaiming the G. Airey Cup in<br />
the process.<br />
The two schools have been<br />
competing for the cup since<br />
<strong>19</strong>61 in what has been a pretty<br />
even tussle.<br />
Theo Fowler, Sione Afemui,<br />
Seth Tauamiti, Elisara Vaifale,<br />
Cormack Tarrant and Patrick<br />
Elia all grabbed five-pointers in<br />
the win.<br />
St Thomas’ attack coach Paul<br />
Burton said it would appear<br />
Taualai “really enjoyed the opportunity”<br />
to try slot the conversion<br />
from the sideline.<br />
“It is not a normal thing, you<br />
know, if there was a lot riding<br />
on the points our regular<br />
kicker would have taken it,” he<br />
laughed.<br />
In case you were wondering,<br />
Taualai’s kick only just missed.<br />
It was a great effort though, said<br />

Brendan Biggs.<br />

1 Tbsp Olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Season schnitzel with salt<br />
and pepper and lay on a work<br />

mozzarella on one half of each<br />
schnitzel and top each with a<br />
heaped teaspoon of pesto.<br />
Fold the empty side of each<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
New branding,<br />
new products<br />
for family-run<br />
health food co<br />
The family-owned and locally operated<br />
New Zealand Health Food Company<br />
(NZHF) has seen steady growth since its<br />
launch in <strong>19</strong>88.<br />
The company was founded by Rob<br />
Haines as a way to introduce indigenous<br />
products and nutritious ingredients<br />
to New Zealand and the rest of the<br />
world. He began creating product<br />
lines that took advantage of New<br />
Zealand’s diverse landscape and<br />
pristine ocean waters, including two<br />
collections of natural supplements,<br />
Kiwi Natural Health and New Zealand<br />
Health Food. These were followed by<br />
KNH, another natural supplement line,<br />
along with Manuka South, which includes<br />
products that focus on the healing powers<br />
of honey.<br />
Now NZHF is introducing some new<br />
products – including a long-awaited<br />
new line of Manuka honey – and also<br />
rebranding itself to reaffirm its place<br />
as one of the country’s most popular<br />
providers of supplements, super foods and<br />
skincare.<br />
The rebranding is designed to reflect<br />
the growth NZHF has experienced since<br />
its inception, with the company’s mission<br />
being to continue providing a one-stop<br />
shop for health-focused, high-quality<br />
products including supplements, super<br />
foods, skincare products, sports nutrition<br />
and weight management, as well as<br />
essential oils.<br />
Many are produced using locally<br />
sourced ingredients, with the company’s<br />
exports helping to introduce the rest of<br />
the world to the health benefits offered by<br />
the nutrient-dense offerings that are part<br />
of New Zealand’s diverse landscape.<br />
The centrepiece of NZHF’s<br />
rebranding efforts is a new<br />
logo, which is an updated, more<br />
contemporary version of the<br />
company’s original lotus flower.<br />
The rebranding also includes<br />
an updated, easier to navigate<br />
website that will not only include<br />
current tools such as a chat box and links<br />
to social media, but also new features<br />
and a design that will make it easier for<br />
customers to find the right products to<br />
reach their optimum health goals.<br />
Over the three decades that NZHF<br />
has been in operation, it has remained<br />
privately owned and locally operated. Rob<br />
Haines, along with his son, two daughters<br />
and son-in-law, are all an integral part<br />
of the business and strive to provide<br />
quality products at an affordable price, so<br />
that health and wellness are available to<br />
everyone.<br />
Both online and at the retail store,<br />
they and their knowledgeable staff are<br />
committed to helping customers be the<br />
best they can be, in mind, body and<br />
spirit. And from Friday <strong>September</strong> 15 to<br />
Monday, <strong>September</strong> 25, NZHF is having a<br />

New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
GO-Advanced<br />
Omega-PC<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times, new<br />
research has shown that neurons can grow<br />
back with the right conditions and that a<br />
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761<br />
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to<br />
assist in this. The implications for stroke<br />
recovery are obvious, but researchers also<br />
know many of us suffer from undetected<br />
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time<br />
slowly reduce our cognitive function.<br />
TEBONIN is prescribed worldwide as a<br />
natural supportive agent for a healthy brain<br />
and cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />
mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />
alertness, motor function and to help<br />
with many conditions including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />
BOOST BRAIN<br />
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%<br />
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets<br />
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60<br />
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent<br />
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30<br />
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.<br />
Studies on TEBONIN Show:<br />
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement<br />
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.<br />
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.<br />
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore<br />
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.<br />
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal<br />
balance.<br />
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.<br />
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.<br />
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.<br />
micro-circulation and helps the blood flow<br />
reach those critical places it needs to get to.<br />
It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes the<br />
red blood cells more pliable and capillary<br />
walls more flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented multistep<br />
extraction process. Each small tablet<br />
contains a highly concentrated 50:1 extract<br />
to give you a therapeutic clinical dose<br />
without having to take a large amount of<br />
the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba products on<br />
the market, and tested by a major medical<br />
journal, only TEBONIN passed all five of the<br />
test requirements. Ten brands didn’t meet<br />
any requirements and the rest didn’t pass<br />
more than three out of five requirements.<br />
TEBONIN is the only Gingko biloba<br />
extract shown to activate all areas of the<br />
brain and is considered the gold standard<br />
in Gingko. TEBONIN has been trusted by<br />
millions of consumers worldwide for over<br />
30 years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />
consumed each day.<br />
TEBONIN and further information<br />
is available from the Natural Health<br />

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good<br />
Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used!<br />
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!<br />
Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally<br />
contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />
manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better<br />
preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with<br />
increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.<br />
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS:<br />
• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as<br />
shown in research<br />
• Advanced new cold extraction better<br />
preserves the natural nutrient profile<br />
found in fish<br />
• Naturally contains phospholipids to<br />
support cellular health<br />
• Contains vitamin D3 to support immune,<br />
bone & cardiovascular health<br />

It is well known how important omega-3<br />
fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated<br />
most people don’t even get a third of the<br />
recommended omega-3 fatty acids on<br />
a weekly basis. Countries with a higher<br />
amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known<br />
to have lower cardiovascular disease and, in<br />
many cases, better overall health.<br />
Recent research has shown inflammation<br />
to be a big part of disease and the ageing<br />
process.<br />

Fish oil can help reduce inflammation<br />
by providing essential fatty acids required<br />
by the body to heal itself and maintain<br />
good health. Until now most fish oil<br />
only contained omega-3 fatty acids in<br />
triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally<br />
contain omega-3 in triglyceride and<br />
phospholipid form but until recently the<br />
phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />
manufacturing process.<br />
GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new<br />
standards in fish oil as it contains<br />
omega-3 attached to both triglycerides<br />
and phospholipids. Studies have shown<br />
GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better<br />
absorbed, leading to increased levels of<br />
vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs<br />
through giving the potential for more<br />
health benefits.<br />
GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced<br />
from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish<br />
using a new advanced and more natural<br />
cold extraction process that better preserves<br />
the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It<br />
is manufactured to high GMP standards<br />
and is molecularly distilled to remove any<br />
containments, toxins and heavy metals.<br />

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

KIDSTUFF<br />
Lindisfarne Nursery School<br />
Lindisfarne Nursery School was<br />
established by Tricia Cuthbert in <strong>19</strong>87 and<br />
remains part of the Cuthbert family today.<br />
We are committed to Christchurch, to our<br />
community, our Lindisfarne families, and<br />
most importantly the futures<br />
and happiness of our children.<br />
We believe in developing<br />
children’s feelings of self-worth,<br />
and encouraging tolerance and<br />
understanding of others.<br />
Our teachers all hold a<br />
Diploma of Teaching in Early<br />
Childhood, and one holds a<br />
Diploma of Teaching in Primary<br />
as well as early childhood. She<br />
prepares the four year olds for<br />
school through an informal<br />
and brief daily ‘lesson’ time<br />
which the children love to take<br />
part in.<br />
We have a separate nursery<br />
with an outdoor area where the<br />
children discover and explore.<br />
We are a strong multi-cultural<br />
centre with committed teachers<br />
who embrace and celebrate<br />
diversity for our families.<br />
Morning and afternoon tea and a cooked<br />
lunch are provided, and we welcome<br />
visitors.<br />

Kids love CASPA!<br />
A child who’s ‘a<br />
little different’<br />
Children who are just ‘a little different’ – perhaps they’re<br />
clumsy, have difficulty writing or tying shoelaces, or<br />
prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to fit in.<br />
To interpret and function in the world<br />
we need to accurately process information<br />
from our environment.<br />
Some children’s nervous systems<br />
may receive, sort and use information<br />
inaccurately (sensory processing) causing<br />
them to either under or over reaction to<br />
a sensation, or actively seek or avoid a<br />
sensation.<br />
This may cause distress for the<br />
child, family and teachers,<br />
as coping with everyday<br />
experiences like<br />
noisy classrooms,<br />
the feel of fabric,<br />
or moving in a<br />
coordinated way<br />
may present huge<br />
challenges. It can<br />
influence behaviour<br />
and interfere with<br />
learning, doing<br />
everyday activities or<br />
simply fitting in.<br />
No child is the<br />
same, each have<br />
their own individual<br />
difficulties.<br />
Therapy Professionals Therapists<br />
may be able to help improve the life<br />
of these children and those around<br />
them. Contact us at 3775280 or<br />
www.therapyprofessionals.co.nz.<br />
CASPA (Creative After School<br />
Programmed Activities) incorporating<br />
PAPA JACKS offers children the<br />
opportunity to be creative, make new<br />
friends and try new experiences all within a<br />
safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers<br />
working parents an affordable after school<br />
and school holiday programme that their<br />
kids just love!<br />
CASPA attributes its success to the<br />
variety of activities on offer as well as the<br />
convenience and affordability for parents.<br />
CASPA kids enjoy an exciting range of<br />
activities including sports, music, games,<br />
drama, arts and craft as well as fun trips.<br />
Previous themes and activities have included<br />
a Karaoke Dance Party, CASPA Fear Factor,<br />
Healthy Art, Out of Africa and hundreds of<br />
other amazing themes/activities!<br />
CASPA parents enjoy peace of mind,<br />
knowing their kids are safe and enjoying<br />
the benefits of a quality after school<br />
programme. Some parents and caregivers<br />
also enjoy government subsidies for<br />
CASPA. CASPA is Child Youth and Family<br />
approved for the OSCAR Subsidy and in<br />
some circumstances, the full CASPA fee<br />
will be covered by the subsidy.<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />
it is located.<br />
