Wigram Skies resident at
breaking point with trucks
• By Emily O’Connell
MORE RESIDENTS in
Wigram Skies’ Lodestar Ave
want big, noisy trucks stopped
from driving through their
neighbourhood.
And one with a disabled
daughter says she will now have
to sell up.
Wanda Waites, who lives
on the corner of Lodestar and
Corsair Dr said “the trucks are
driving me mad.”
They wake her daughter Tara
up at 5am every day of the week.
Lady Wigram Retirement Village
residents are also campaigning
to stop the trucks, saying they
get woken up at 4.30am.
Ms Waites said she plans to
sell up and move to somewhere
quieter.
She wants Halswell Ward city
councillor Anne Galloway and
Wigram MP Megan Woods to be
more proactive in stopping the
trucks.
Cr Galloway and Dr Woods
will meet this Friday to discuss
the issue.
Dr Woods said yesterday the
trucks are a real problem and
it is a horrible situation for Ms
Waites.
The city council is due to bring
in the citywide Traffic and Parking
Bylaw 2017 by the end of the
year which will allow restrictions
to be placed on streets.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
THE ANTE is about to be
upped on city councillor Anne
Galloway, and Wigram MP
Megan Woods.
Our reporter Emily O’Connell
knocked on a few doors in Lodestar
Ave, Wigram, yesterday and
no surprises over what she found
– people have had a gutsful of
the big trucks (see page 1).
This should come as no surprise
to Galloway and Woods
– Western News has reported on
this issue for some months, and
the matter went international
when rest home owner John
Tooby was recorded having a go
at his tenants over their campaign
to stop the trucks.
But as we found yesterday it’s
not only the rest home residents
having to put up with the noisy
trucks – the whole neighbourhood
is.

Users object to library closure
• By Emily O’Connell
THE CITY council is in the
firing line after closing the
Upper Riccarton War Memorial
Library.
The library’s chairwoman
Aynslie Walter said the building
was undergoing a feasibility
study when it was discovered one
part of the floor had sunk into
the foundation causing cracks in
the kitchen, toilet and walls.
City council head of building
consenting Robert Wright said
the library will reopen subject
to the required repairs being
undertaken.
“The building needs to be
compliant to the appropriate
standard so it may be safely
enjoyed by groups in the future,”
he said.
The city council asked for the
library to be closed immediately
on October 26 but Mrs Walter
objected as they needed to remove
resources.
They were then given 48 hours
to do so, which Mrs Walter said
wasn’t long enough.
“I got two car loads out – one
out on Thursday and we went in
at 6.30am on Friday. We didn’t
have the transport or the time to
do it,” she said.
Mrs Walter said the city
council will now help them with
what is left.
She said the city council has
no heart.
“To think they’ve had these
sessions on Passchendaele and
remembrance on that, and here
they are forgetting about the
memorial which was given to
them for that purpose,” she said.
The library was opened in
1919 as a memorial to those
from the district who gave their
lives in World War 1. It was
the first of seven war memorial
libraries built in New Zealand.
John Edward Hanson gifted
the site to Lady Bowen in an
exchange for her less valuable
site of the old library – which
was described as decrepit.
Mrs Walter said the library is
administered by a trust and they
own the building on behalf of
the community.
“The land was also ours, however,
it was given to the Waimairi
County Council from the committee
at the time, so they could
maintain the outside of the buildings.
There was some deal made
but records were lost when the
city council took over,” she said.
The city council and library
members met on Thursday to
discuss the situation further.

Mrs Walter said it was a
positive meeting but the trustees
need time to consider options.
She said they’re not sure how
much it would cost to repair the
library but they will look into it.
A public meeting will be held
at 10am on December 2 in the
Rannerdale Veterans Village
meeting room.
Mrs Walter said they would
like to stress that it’s the building
which has closed down, not
the library as an organisation.
She said books can be returned
to the Upper Riccarton
Library in the meantime or 80
Woodbury St, Russley.

Resident at breaking point

It will include allowing for the
banning of vehicles from being
parked on the road if they’re
advertised for sale, vehicles from
parking on berms, and stopping
heavy vehicles on certain streets.
Last week Cr Galloway told
Western News she doubts the
new bylaw will be of any use.
“It seems that
speed is the issue
and the recommendation
is for police
to get more involved
in monitoring this,”
Cr Galloway said.
But late last week,
Galloway tempered
her stance, sending
Western News an
email saying the
bylaw can work.
“There definitely
is still hope that it
can be used to prevent
heavy trucks
along Lodestar. Staff
cannot consider it
as an option until it
is passed,” Cr Galloway said.
Ms Waites said she would
be very disappointed if change
doesn’t come about and her ideal
outcome would be not to see any
more trucks.
She said the city council hasn’t
done anything.
Ms Waites has lived in the

house for almost five years but
since Lodestar Ave opened, she’s
had problems.
Ms Waites said the noise isn’t
the only issue, vehicles drive
at speed on the street and it’s a
safety hazard.
She said Tara can’t go outside
alone as it’s too dangerous.
Lady Wigram Retirement
Village residents
have been lobbying
since April when
they met with Cr
Galloway and Dr
Woods asking
for a bylaw to
stop trucks being
allowed to drive
through Lodestar
Ave.
It’s a short cut
to work sites in
the area and in
Selwyn.
Shela Wong,
who lives on Corsair
Drive, said the
bylaw is an “awesome”
idea.
She said the trucks are too big
and noisy to driving on residential
streets.
Miss Wong said the yellow
pedestrian bars on Corsair Drive
have been knocked over a few
times as large trucks struggle
to make the tight turn onto
Lodestar.
Skate parks delayed
• By Emily O’Connell
THE TWO planned skate parks
in Halswell have been delayed.
After three years of planning,
the Halswell Domain and
Knights Stream skate parks are
now expected to be ready by
late April, instead of January as
initially planned.
In June, Western News reported
the cost would be $344,605
and $350,000 respectively.
The consent process has taken
longer than expected and, as a
result, construction of both parks
has been delayed.
City councillor Vicki Buck said
the consent application for the
Knights Stream skate park was
lodged last week and still needs
to be granted, which can take up
to 20 working days.
The city council won’t know
if both sites will be managed
together until a contractor has
been selected.
Cr Buck said the Halswell
Domain skate park still required
further stormwater basin design
work.
“All design work needs to be
completed for the consent application.
We are aiming to have the
design and application ready to
lodge mid-November. The timing
of that consent may depend

on the response,” she said.
Cr Buck said the delay was
frustrating and she understands
people will be disappointed. She
also said the delays were not due
to poor planning.
Halswell Residents’ Association
secretary David Hawke said
it was disappointing, but they’ve
been waiting 10 years for the
parks and another few months
wasn’t an issue.
He said they’ve got a group of
young people who have to travel
to Prebbleton to get to the closest
skate park.
“It will mean that we’re starting
to get amenities within the
community that meet the needs
of all the people,” Mr Hawke
said. Construction for both parks
is now expected to begin in mid
to late January and run for 15
weeks.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Young directors making their mark
• By Julia Evans
AVONHEAD’S Simon Brown
could soon be following in the
footsteps of Kiwi director Taika
Waititi.
While Waititi has been
smashing box offices records
with his new movie Thor:
Ragnarok, Simon and Nina Hogg
have created the short film A
Perfect Child.
The Christ’s and St Margaret’s
college students won the award
for best senior fiction at the
Australian Teachers of Media
Awards in Melbourne.
It tells the story of Ava, played
by St Margaret’s student Tigerlily
Perry, a girl who has lost her parents
in a car crash and has been
sent to an orphanage.
She meets Madam Murphy
(Eilish Moran, of The Court
Theatre) who runs the establishment
in a disciplined and firm
manner. Ava soon befriends
Lauren (Alice Taylor, of St Margaret’s),
but finds out that things
are not what they seem at the
orphanage.
When Lauren suddenly turns
on her, Ava discovers a laboratory
full of clones which the
orphanage is trying to make into
perfect specimens so they can be
adopted more easily.
UP-AND-COMING: Students Simon Brown and Nina Hogg
collected the award for best senior short film in Melbourne.
Taking home an award didn’t
come easily.
The 18min film took a year to
produce from start to finish and
involved more than 65 students,
mentors and teachers.
Simon said the main challenge
came from the editing process.
A Perfect Child went up against
550 entries in the ATOM awards
from across Australia and New
Zealand.
“The prize-giving was very
nerve-racking, especially when
Nina and I had to go up on stage
to collect the award. We didn’t
realise that we were required to
give a short speech and had to
improvise but it was taken very
well, which was a relief,” Simon
said.
Nina said many students put
their life and soul into the film.
“I hope our two schools (St
Margaret’s and Christ’s) continue
this collaboration as a way
to foster interest in the film industry
and highlight the talent of
our friends and fellow students,”
she said.
The ATOM presentation
was hosted by Australian TV
presenter Walt Collins and was
followed by a screening of the
winning productions at the SAE
Institute, Melbourne. The awards

Residents’
Association
chairman Phil
McGoldrick
wants the
community to
get on their
bicycles
Tuesday November 7 2017
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Your Local Views
Plea to get on your bike
MANY WILL have missed or
dismissed the news recently that
there are currently 200,000 more
cars on New Zealand’s roads
than there were a year ago.
Assuming equal distribution,
that means 20,000 in the Garden
City, if we can still call our city
that. And many, of those, will
be in the Ilam area, which has
witnessed considerable intensification
in the last decade.
The problem of parking is
well trumpeted in the inner city,
but little is said or done in our
suburb where the problem is
equally acute.
The city council and
Canterbury University have
done so much to improve the
way forward for cyclists but far
too few are responding to this
incentive.
The flatness of Christchurch
is so conducive to cycling. Ask
those who dare and they will say
they beat vehicular transport
to any destination in the city
especially at peak times. And
once there, the time and expense
involved with securing a park is
obviated.
Yet Cantabrians are staying
away from cycling in their droves
and the excellent cycle lanes in
our area are forlorn.
We visited the fabulous city
BIKER: Phil McGoldrick is

of Copenhagen recently. One of
the reasons for its pre-eminence
and recognition as a future city
is the population’s commitment
to cycling to achieve sensible
traffic. There, 50 per cent of the
population is biking. Cyclists
there are treated with respect, but
they earn that respect by being
responsible with all facets of
cycling. Many here tell me they
refuse to bike to work or uni to
avoid “bad hair days” – perhaps
we ought to revisit compulsory
wearing of helmets?
We also did an e-bike tour
in Europe and power assisted
bikes are certainly an eye to the
future. If nothing changes and
we clutch on to our predilection
with the motor vehicle, the
price we ultimately pay will
be frightening. More streets
will be blocked, traffic flows
more painful, verges, lawns
and gardens sacrificed, and our
sacred environment further
compromised. Perhaps the
time is right to delve deep into
your shed or at least test ride an
e-bike.

Jan Fortune
Enthusiastic about promoting the status
Hoon Hay’s Jan Fortune
is a member of Zonta
and is the chair of the
team which runs the
Canterbury Secondary
Schools Zonta Awards.
She is now 71 and has
battled cancer, been an
Australasian champion at
archery and worked in the
medical realm. She talks
to Emily O’Connell
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Auckland and
lived there until I moved to
Christchurch in 1982. We moved
down to Christchurch for my
husband’s job, he’s a medical
photographer, so he came down
here for a promotion. His job
was at The Princess Margaret
Hospital at the time but now it’s
in the main hospital.
What got you into volunteering?
When I became qualified as a
medical laboratory technologist
in 1970, I wanted to go overseas.
So I decided to volunteer in
Papua New Guinea for two
years. It was a great experience
but there wasn’t as much work
on as planned. Because of this,
CRAFT: Jan Fortune at the Christchurch Guild of Weavers and Spinners class at the Tannery.

I started up Girl Guides. I spent
my afternoons teaching Guides
to the local children and they
were very enthusiastic. One day
when I was doing a sponsored
walkathon, I saw a man collecting
money in a Scout uniform.
The next day I saw him again at
the bank and I thought he looked
quite nice. I was then introduced
to him at a party a few week’s
later. Colin and I dated for a
couple months and then got
engaged. I was able to cut my trip
short by nine months so I could
get married. In December 1971 I
spent six weeks with him and his
family in Sydney. We got married
in January 1972 in Auckland
and have been married now for
45 years.
What were you doing before
Zonta?
I was a medical laboratory
technologist professionally and
I worked in the laboratory at the
Christchurch Hospital. From
there I changed profession and
went into pharmaceutical and
did hospital oncology drug
sales. I did that for 20 years and
I retired about five or six
years ago and then I started
volunteering at the shop at the
hospital. I’m not very good at
doing nothing. I then got bowel
cancer so I took a year off while
I had surgery and chemotherapy
– which has fortunately got rid
of it all. Currently I have a job
two days a week at the hospital,
which is a paid job, as the
co-ordinator of the wayfinder
volunteers who are out the front
of the hospital.
How did you get involved
with Zonta?
I got involved about 26
years ago. I was new to
Christchurch and I always wanted
to work in the community
having been involved all my life.

Fire rages, homes at risk
of women and girls in the community
I heard the group was a service
club and worked particularly to
promote the status of women and
girls and that’s what I’m enthusiastic
about. It’s also a way to
meet other professional businesswomen
so I joined Zonta. I’ve
been with it ever since because I
love it and I get a good satisfaction
out of what we can achieve
for other people.
How did you get involved with
the Zonta Sports Awards?
The sports awards had started
just before I joined. Vicki Buck
approached Zonta with the idea.
In those days, 26 years ago, girls
never got any recognition for
their achievement in sport. We
thought it was a good suggestion
and it fitted with our goal
of trying to promote the status
of girls. For five years it was
just the girls and the boys had a
separate awards night. And then
the organisation which ran the
boys awards fell through. School
Sport Canterbury then asked if
we’d consider combining the two
and we said ‘oh yes alright’ and
we’ve just continued. Although
girls do get a lot more publicity
than they used to – it’s still not as
much as the boys do. So I’m quite
passionate about getting them
recognised for their amazing
achievements. It blows your mind

what they’re achieving.
What sports have you played?
I was a New Zealand archery
champion and then I went on to
pistol shooting and they’re both
ones which never get any recognition
because they’re not very
public sports so that’s another
reason I think the Zonta Sports
Awards are good. I was in my
late 30s when I picked up archery
and did well quite quickly. In the
sports awards there is a category
for the disabled and I’m passionate
about that because once I had
stopped shooting, Neroli Fairhall,

top. She went to the able-bodied
Commonwealth Games with me
as her assistant, and won the gold
medal – which was terribly exciting.
She needed me to fetch and
carry the arrows and things. A
couple years after that, she asked
me to go with her to the World
Paraplegic Games in England
which was an amazing experience
and made me very passionate
about recognising disabled
people in their sports and how
massively they can achieve. The
other category which is a passion
for me in sport, other than sport
in general, is the coach, referee
or administrator. They only get
criticism when they get it wrong,
but they don’t get any praise for
when they get it right.
What do you like the most
about all your different roles?
Just seeing the difference you
can make. Like with the volunteering
at the hospital, you can
see the strain go off someone’s
face when you tell them where
to go for their appointment.
My satisfaction is knowing our
working is making a difference in
somebody’s life.
What do you like doing outside
of work?
An eye on the city
My relaxation is in craft. I
didn’t have time to continue
with it when I was doing
pharmaceutical because I was
travelling. I’ve always knitted, but
I’ve taken up spinning and I’m
renewing my interest in weaving.
I’m with the Christchurch Guild
of Weavers and Spinners, I’m
currently the treasurer, which
isn’t my forte but no one else
would do it so I’m doing that. I
get a lot of satisfaction mixing
with other women.
Do you have any children?
We don’t have any children
but we do have a dog and she’s
very treasured. The dog’s named
Briar and she’s an airedale terrier.
We’ve only ever had airedale’s,
we fell in love with out first one
and Briar is our fifth. Briar’s
nearly six-years-old. She’s a rehome
so we’ve only had her
for one year but she’s very much
part of our family now and very
loved.
What’s your best piece of
advice for women?
Probably just to believe in
themselves and their abilities
and to believe they can make a
difference in the world. Even if
its in a small way, they can get
that satisfaction, knowing what
they do has made a difference to
someone else’s life.

Riccarton High
student earns
prestigious
scholarship
• By Emily O’Connell
RICCARTON HIGH School
year 13 student Yan Gong has
won a $10,000 scholarship
towards his university studies.
The Canterbury University
scholarship is for first year international
students and is offered
to 25 students
worldwide.
It recognises
and supports top
achieving international
students.
Yan moved to
New Zealand from
China in 2015, and Yan Gong
started at Riccarton
High. The school’s careers
adviser Vanessa Kidd said the
scholarship is brilliant and only
one secondary school student
in New Zealand received it last
year.
She said Yan is a hard
working, resilient student who
takes every opportunity and
helps other students.
Ms Kidd said Yan was over
the moon to have won. He will
start a Bachelor of Commerce at
Canterbury University next year.
Billy’s great night out at the league
MEETING: Benji and Billy Spivey with Kiwis player Elijah
Taylor at the game on Saturday.
• By Bridget Rutherford
NOT EVEN a broken leg could
stop Halswell Hornets’ Billy
Spivey from going to cheer on the
Kiwis as they thumped Scotland
74-6 on Saturday.
Billy, 7, broke his femur about
three weeks ago after crashing
his motor-cycle and has to be in a
wheelchair until November 16.
His mother Nicola said
originally the Halswell family
had bought tickets to the pool
play match at AMI Stadium in
the general stand.
But they had to buy new tickets
in the wheelchair seating area
at the bottom of the City Care
Stand so Billy could still go, she
said.
Ms Spivey, Billy and his
three-year-old brother, Benji, sat
together. Dad Hamish and some
friends were also allowed to sit
with them.
Ms Spivey said it was
“awesome” to sit there because it
was close to the action.
Billy’s Halswell Hornets gold
team, which his dad coaches,
won junior team of the year at
the Canterbury rugby league
awards. He was the second
highest points scorer.
Ms Spivey is the junior club
captain.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Last week, Billy chatted to
Kiwis star Shaun Johnson after
the team’s open training session
at Linfield Park.
“It was cool. He said ‘I hope
your leg gets better’,” Billy said.
The Kiwis playmaker went
on to score a try and kick nine
conversions during Saturday’s
match to become the Kiwis
highest ever points scorer.
The win has set the Kiwis up
for a crunch match against Tonga
in Hamilton on Saturday after
they beat Pacific rivals Samoa 32-
18 on the weekend.
Ms Spivey said after the
game the family got to meet
Kiwis utility Elijah Taylor, who
recognised Billy from last week’s
training session.
Some of the Kiwis officials also
recognised him, and gave Billy
the thumbs up and a wave as the
team walked onto the field, she
said.
Billy said he wants to play for
the Kiwis when he grows up, and
the NRL premiership-winning
Melbourne Storm because he has
the same name as their fullback
Billy Slater.
Ms Spivey said while their
friends joked about their kids
being named after well-known
rugby league players, it was not
intentional.

Difficult words no problem for Lucy
St Margaret’s home to
country’s top speller
IT MEANS lacking in
courage and resolution, but
Lucy Jessep certainly wasn’t
as she correctly spelled
pusillanimous.
The St Margaret’s College
year 10 student is New
Zealand’s 2017 Spelling Bee
champion.
She triumphed over
hundreds of students from
more than 100 schools to win
the title.
Runner-up was year 9
student George Turner, of
Marlborough Boys’ College.
In a tightly-fought
competition, the pair battled
it out for first place over four
rounds after earlier defeating
19 other spellers at Te Papa in
Wellington. Lucy took the title
with pusillanimous.
The Burnside teen was
awarded a trophy and $5000
towards her studies.
An enthusiastic debater who
loves learning languages, Lucy
said she was just focused on
“not getting out in the first
round,” and because of that
didn’t consider winning.
Her win was still sinking in,
she said.
New Zealand Spelling Bee
founder Janet Lucas said the
nail-biting final was fitting for
a competition in which the
talent was stronger than
ever.
“Lucy did incredibly well to
triumph in such a strong field.
This was the toughest and
longest competition we have
ever had. We have seen some
truly amazing spelling today.”
“The New Zealand Spelling
Bee is fiercely competitive
in a fun way. It’s a sport
with an intellectual focus –
students train and prepare to
compete, and it’s clear from
the excellent results that they
trained hard.”
The finalists won their
places out of a field of
hundreds of year 9 and
10 students. The rigorous
competition began with
a written classroom test,
followed by six regional semifinals.

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE
GRILLED BUTTERFLIED
WHOLE CHICKEN
Ingredients
1 whole butterflied chicken
1 to taste salt & freshly ground
pepper
Barbecue sauce
Directions
Preheat grill to medium. Get
surface temperature to about 200
deg C. Clean and oil well. Clean
the chicken if you desire and pat
dry.
Cut the backbone out of the
chicken with sharp kitchen
scissors. You could use a knife,
but the scissors are much safer
and work great.
With a large knife, give the
breastbone a large nick in the
front of the chicken to help the
bird lay flat.
Rinse the inside of the bird out,
trim any loose fat and extra skin.
Pat dry again. Give the bird a
good sprinkle of salt and pepper.
You could use any seasoning you
want here.
Place skin down on the grill.
Flip after you get a nice browning
on the skin after about 12-15min.
Give the chicken a good
brushing of barbecue sauce.
Grill another 3-4min until
the sauce is browning well.
Total grilling on the second side
should take 20-25min.
Let set for 5 minutes then cut
and serve.
ASPARAGUS WITH
AVOCADO SALSA
Ingredients
2 bunches Asparagus
1 Avocado
1 Lemon
1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 Pepper
1⅓ cups Dried cranberries
½ cup Walnuts
¼ cup Parsley
1 to taste Salt & freshly ground
pepper
Directions
To make the salsa, combine
avocado, juice of the lemon, oil,
diced pepper (yellow), dried
cranberries, walnuts (toasted)
and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper
and toss well.
Cook asparagus in plenty of
boiling, salted water for 2min or
until just tender to the bite.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Huge turnout for bike show
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SMASH Palace Bike Show
took New Brighton by storm on
Saturday.
“It went really well, everyone had
a ball,” said event organiser Jason
Mill.
Originally, 20 heats were planned
for the demonstration but Mr Mill
said on the day there was close to
60.
Tony Hockley, 82, son of former
bike enthusiast and founding member
of the Pioneer Motorcycle Club
Geoff Hockley, raced on the day.
The event was linked to the late
Mr Hockley, who was involved in
the first ever bike races on New
Brighton beach in the early 1900s.
Event organisers had one lap
planned for Tony, who ended up
lining up for the next six races
afterwards.
“We couldn’t get him off the
bike,” said Mr Mill.
Between 3000-4000 spectators
showed up and the seaside market
said they had one of their busiest
markets of the year, said Mr Mill.
Originally the event was planned
to be biennial, however, following
feedback from spectators, Mr Mill
thinks this may change.
“The word I kept hearing was
next year . . . if the community
wants it, we will do it.”
ENTHUSIASTS: Between 3000-4000 people turned out in New Brighton on Saturday for the
Smash Palace Bike Show.

New Dentures >
Creating a Better
Denture Experience
Relines >
Repairs >
Partial Dentures >
At Better Denture, the denture clinic
situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim
is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth,
says experienced dental technician and
owner Chris Castle.
“We focus on making it easier for people
coming here to have dentures made or
maintained with our relaxed environment
and friendly approach.”
Chris understands that people can be a bit
nervous about coming into a dental clinic,
but he makes sure everyone feels welcome
and comfortable at Better Denture by
breaking down those barriers and putting
them at ease.
The process of having new dentures made
and fitted usually takes four appointments,
and Chris explains the process step by step
so patients understand what’s being done,
further complete after care is provided at no
additional cost.
“Every set of dentures is made to onsite
by hand, using higher grade materials as
standard, allowing us the ability to customise
every aspect of the process. We also aim to
cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures,
with same day repairs and relines on offer,
as well as being available on Saturdays,
allowing us to work around even the busiest
schedules,” he says.
“Our aim at Better Denture is to create
the best possible denture experience for
you, the customer, whether it be through
the products we custom create, the service
we provide or the manner in which strive to
achieve both of those goals.”
Anyone needing new dentures is invited
to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050,
for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious
and welcoming, and patients are invited to
bring someone with them for support at any
appointment if they wish.
Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby,
Better Denture is open Monday to Friday,
9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm.
Off-street parking and wheelchair access
available.

Co-Q10 reduces all
causes of mortality
by 50%
Researchers were amazed with the
results of how beneficial a natural nutrient
Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human
body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in
the body’s cells that is essential for cell
function, energy and survival. The Heart,
Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large
amounts of Co-Q10 to function well.
In a recent multi country double blind
trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to
protect against heart failure, 420 patients
with severe heart failure were given CoQ10
or a placebo and then followed for two
years. It was found to the amazement of
the researchers the patients who received
the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an
adverse cardiovascular event or death
compared to the placebo patients. Not only
this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a
50% reduction in death not only from
cardiovascular events but from all causes.
According to lead study author Professor
Mortensen this study is the first in over a
decade to show a natural nutrient can
reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10
should be added as a standard treatment
for anyone with cardiovascular complaints.
It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in
the heart muscle of patients with heart
failure as severity worsens. Statin drugs

are used to treat many patients with
cardiovascular problems but these drugs
also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the
body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body
can be low energy and endurance, muscle
pain, poor memory and concentration and
poor heart function or heart failure.
CoQ10 levels are known to decrease
as we age and many researchers believe
keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient
may help prevent many chronic diseases
including cancer.
Co-Q10 is available as a natural
supplement to support good health.

Are you
Magnesium
deficient?
Minerals are the building blocks of good
health. Some minerals are only needed in
trace amounts where others like magnesium
are need in much larger amounts and on
a regular basis to prevent deficiency and
maintain optimum health. A large number
of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium
from our diet and may notice some of the
common signs of deficiency. Some of the
more common symptoms that may be
caused by insufficient magnesium are: leg
and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain,
muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors
of hands, blurred vision, restlessness,
poor sleep, raised and/or unstable blood
pressure, poor circulation, irregular
heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing
problems, dizziness, headaches, anxiety,
agitation, irritability, seizures, poor
concentration and many more.
Although many young people now show
signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms
generally worsen as we age due to our
digestive system being less efficient. Taking
a magnesium supplement of sufficient
strength may be a sensible option to top
up our vital magnesium levels. Not all
magnesium supplements however are
well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new
marine sourced magnesium has been
found that offers good levels of absorbable
magnesium as well as many trace nutrients
that are low in the diet but essential for
good health. Further information is
available in store from our natural health
advisers, and medical herbalists..
