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 />

building on the foundations set<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 />

incidents were reported in<br />

Riccarton during August which<br />

is more than three times the<br />

amount reported in July.<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 />

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 />

Student branching out to<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 />

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 />

“We look forward to working<br />

with many people to make it<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
