Stand up and be counted

urge park opponents

• By Emily O’Connell

OPPONENTS TO the Denton Park

mega facility plan are urging people

to stand up and be counted.

THose fighting the park from being

used for Hornby’s $35.7 million sport

and community centre, say public

consultation early next year could be

their last chance to stop Denton Park

being the site for the project.

This follows the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Community Board

meeting last week, where the reclassification

process for Denton Park

was approved.

In order to build on 9766 sq m of

the park, the reserve classification has

to change.

Save Denton Park group chairman

Mark Peters is wanting locals to take

a stand for the park in the public

consultation process which starts on

January 20 and goes until March 24.

He also suggested residents should

have their say beforehand as well.

“We have to fight to keep our local

park,” Mr Peters said.

Sitting in on the last week’s meeting

was the city council’s chief executive

officer Dr Karleen Edwards.

Mr Peters said it was “initimidating”

having her there but also granted

her “credit for showing up.”

He said the meeting went better

than expected and he was happy

he was able to give a deputation to

board.

CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right on the

radar but there’s another big event looming

too – the City2Surf.

Yep, it’s only a handful of months away

(see page 4) so it’s time to start lacing up

those running shoes and pounding the pavement or local park

to get in some sort of shape.

The great thing about the City2Surf – and this hasn’t changed

over the decades – is that anyone regardless of shape or fitness

level can take part.

A face that wil appear on the marketing of City2Surf this year

is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian pastor.

And remember it’s a family event – children 10 and under are

free to participate.

Police say no to bus lounge bylaw


POLICE AREN’T backing a

bylaw to help stop anti-social

behaviour at the Riccarton bus

lounge.

The lounge, on the corner of

Riccarton Rd and Division St,

has been plagued with youth

issues since it opened in December

2015.

A working

party consisting

of board

members,

business and

landowners,

police, community

groups

Lianne Dalziel

and residents’

association

representatives

have made 19 recommendations

to help solve the issues.

These include introducing an

anti-loitering bylaw, playing music

in Division St which would

attract more people to the area

and changing the current bus

lounge Wi-Fi policies.

A report was given to the

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Community Board last week

with an update on the recommendations.

One update included a letter

from Inspector John Robinson,

ONGOING ISSUE: Police don’t believe a bylaw would help

stop the anti-social behaviour at the Riccarton bus lounge.

who said he and Canterbury

District Commander Superintendent

John Price had the

same views on the anti-loitering

bylaw.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel had a

preliminary meeting with Superintendent

Price last month.

Inspector Robinson said the

bylaw would be difficult to enforce

and most people involved

would be under 17-years-old

which certain criteria would not

be met if they had to enforce the

bylaw.

“Trying to enforce such a

general bylaw would likely

bring about a lot of anger and

disagreement and an increase

in other disorder,” Inspector

Robinson said.

He said defining what loitering

is would also be difficult.

“We understand this is unlikely

to be the response that

you were wanting, but hope that

a successful alternative can be

found,” Inspector Robinson said.

Senior Sergeant Stephan

McDaniel said he met with

the community development

adviser Marie Bryne last month

regarding the lounge issues.

“Our discussions were

over how we would reduce

the calls for service in the

environment of the lounge

to ensure the community feel

safe using this facility,” he said.

Senior Sergeant McDaniel said

they are looking at doing this

“through any recommendations

made from a Crime Prevention

Through Environmental Design

review, increasing CCTV surveillance

and signage, reviewing

security and increasing police

presence.”

The report said the city council

has made a request to Westfield

Riccarton management to

consider installing additional

security cameras along Division

St. If the mall decline, about

$10,000 of community board

funding would be required for

the cameras.

The report also said increasing

the access is part of the city

council’s strategy and needs

further investigation.

As for playing music along

Division St to attract more people

to the area, the report said

speakers will be installed on the

outside of the bus lounge.

Deputy chairwoman Helen

Broughton made an amendment

to the report, for the community

board to review the recommendations

in the new year.

City councillor Vicki Buck

also made an amendment for up

to $5500 to be allocated for the

CPTED report.

BUS STOPS TO GO

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Community Board approved the

removal of eight redundant bus

stops in Templeton at its meeting

last week. The stops are located

on Kirk Rd. The city council

was contacted by a resident who

stated they had sometimes seen

people waiting at the bus stops

for a bus which would never

come, and requested removal of

the signs.

BROCKWORTH PL MURALS

The community board also approved

a $2000 grant for supplies

for the Brockworth Pl murals.

The murals are being painted

by advocate advisor Damian

Holt. The funding was from the

board’s 2017-18 Discretionary

Response Fund.

$10,000 ILAM BURGLARY

Jewellery, vitamins and foreign

money, to the value of $10,000,

has been stolen from an Ilam

flat. The house was broken into

last week and the burglars took

with them what flatmate Carly

Fisher is describing as “very

sentimental and personal items.”

Miss Fisher said it was especially

disappointing as they were

moving flats in less than a

week.

• By Andrew King

JESEL ROYOKADA embodies

everything that is the Star Media

City2Surf.

Last year he was photographed

leaping into the air after crossing

the line capturing the spirit of the

event.

Now, the Christchurch Fijian

Seventh-Day Adventist Church

pastor has asked his congregation

of about 80 to get involved in the

event as a way to connect with

other cultures.

“We come from the islands and

sometimes we do things in our

own island groups but it is good

to get involved with the rest of

the community,” he said.

The 31-year-old encouraged

about 25 of his parishioners to

get involved in the event last year

“It was the first time our

church has got involved with

something like this,” he said.

He said they were told

about the event by Healthy

Families Christchurch, part

of a nationwide Government

initiative aimed at helping New

Zealanders live healthy, active

lives.

“I would like to see all 80 of

them out there, and their friends

and families. We can even have

kids in prams at the event,” he

said.

He said they will start to train

soon for the event, which will be

held on March 18.

The event is split into two

sections – 6km and 14km.

The Star Media City2Surf with

Les Mills 14km event starts in

Centennial Park, Spreydon, at

9am.

The Sport Canterbury 6km

event starts at 10am in Hansen

Park, Opawa.

Both finish at the Ferrymead

playing fields. There will be

after-event entertainment

with live music, food and free

children’s entertainment in the

finish area.

Lieu day decision could be appealed


FAST FOOD giant, Wendy’s,

may appeal the decision on lieu

days.

Wendy’s chief executive officer

Danielle Lendich told Western

News neither party won in the

determination.

“The authority member has

come up with an alternative interpretation

of law which is not

based on either parties’ submissions,”

she said.

But Hornby Wendy’s worker,

Rose Williams, thinks she’s

definitely won the battle.

Ms Lendich has until next

Wednesday to appeal the decision.

She said they are “currently

still interpreting the decision

and no decision has been made

whether to appeal or not.”

Ms Lendich said the outcome

will have repercussions for many

industries, not just hospitality.

Mrs Williams went to the

Ministry of Business, Innovation

and Employment three years ago

with the lieu day issue after she

had been working at the Hornby

restaurant for a year.

Wendy’s, which has 23 outlets

in New Zealand, including one

in Hereford St and in Hornby,

has breached two sections of the

Holidays Act 2003.

Ms Lendich said they have

SUCCESS: Rose Williams believes she’s won the battle

against Wendy’s in spite of its CEO defending the company’s

actions.

PHOTO: ANDREW KING

been using the ‘three week’ rule

to determine who is entitled to

alternative holidays.

“... a person who works the

same day of the week as the public

holiday for the three weeks

prior to the public holiday and

the public holiday itself is due an

alternative day,” she said.

Ms Lendich issued a notice

to all her employees last week,

letting them know about the

situation.

“However the decision does

not mean that everyone will be

paid an alternative day for working

a public holiday,” the letter

concluded.

Unite Union, of which Mrs

Williams is a delegate, has estimated

it would cost Wendy’s $1.6

million to pay back employees’

leiu days.

MBIE senior labour inspector

Kim Baldwin found Wendy’s

breached section 56 and 60 of

the Holidays Act.

Section 56 says an alternative

holiday must be provided to

an employee who works on a

public holiday if that day would

otherwise have been a working

day for them.

Section 60 sets out how those

employees should be paid for the

alternative holiday.

Wendy’s has been ordered to

comply with the two sections,

conduct a review of its restaurants

and keep records of staff

contacted, rosters and leave.

It has been ordered to give all

past and present employees from

the Hornby and Dunedin restaurants

their alternative holidays,

or the equivalent pay since the

restaurants were opened.

Wendy’s has also been ordered

to do the same for all other

restaurants across the country

backdated to July 1, 2012.

Ms Lendich said they thought

their interpretation of the law

was right and it’s incorrect to

say Wendy’s employees have

not been receiving alternative

holidays.

But Mrs Williams believes

Wendy’s purposely change their

employees shifts so they don’t get

lieu days.

Ms Lendich said laws about

pay need to be black and white

and the Holidays Act 2003 needs

a “total overhaul.”

“Politicians should be more

aware of the laws they make

around these issues and be

totally clear on what the law

actually is,” she said.

But Mrs Williams said the law

doesn’t need changing.

She told Western News she’s

had a lot of support from coworkers

and friends.

Call to

investigate

cycling initiative


• By Julia Evans

CONCERNS HAVE been

raised over publicity of a cycling

initiative at Jellie Park Sports and

Recreation Centre.

Staff at the centre not knowing

about the initiative at all, and a

lack of advertising, has prompted

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood

Community Board to

ask city council staff investigate

urgently.

The campaign to get less people

driving to Jellie Park in a bid

to clear the congested car park

means if you cycle five times, you

receive free pool entry and a bottle

of water.

The initiative was first run in

February with only a “small to

moderate uptake,” city council

western area operations manager

Martin McGregor said.

It was recommended the

programme be dropped. But a

second campagin, running from

now through summer, was called

for by the board as it said a longer

trial was necessary for a greater

uptake. As well as being in warmer

months when more people are

likely to cycle.

It was previously suggested that

the scheme would be rolled out

across all city council sport and

recreation centres.

Chance to

reconnect with

school before

demolition

• By Julia Evans

FORMER BISHOPDALE School

pupils have been invited to visit

one last time.

The school’s 60-year-old buildings

are being demolished during

the school holidays as work begins

on the $4.38 million rebuild.

Principal Sue Fisher said anyone

who wants to go back, take photos

and visit the classrooms is more

than welcome.

“People from Bishopdale seem to

live in this area forever,” she said.

She said there is a huge community

connection in the suburb,

especially as its going through a

regeneration with the new library

and redevelopment of the mall.

Demolishing the first block will

begin in January, with the new

building beginning construction in

March and the rebuild expected to

finish late next year.

“They [the Ministry of Education]

want to have it done in the

holidays because it’s not desirable

to have children and asbestos in

the same space,” Mrs Fisher said.

Anyone who wants to go

through the school has until

December 15. Phone the school on

352 9354 to arrange a time.


A $150,000 grant from the city

council has pushed St Peter’s

Anglican Church closer to

restoration.

The Upper Riccarton church,

which was consecrated in 1858,

was damaged in the February

22, 2011, earthquake.

The grant, from the Capital

Endowment Fund, was approved

at city council last

Thursday.

Riccarton Ward city councillor

Vicki Buck made an amendment

on the $100,000 grant,

increasing it to $150,000.

“I’d like to see us give more

than $100,000. The loan won’t

be helpful as they can’t afford a

loan,” she said.

Originally, St Peter’s applied

for the Heritage Incentive Grant

– seeking $500,000 of funding.

The application was then

deferred as the proposal would

have a significant impact on

heritage values and key criteria

was not met.

Parish reverend Nick Mountfort

said they are thrilled with

the $150,000 grant.

“They [the city council] recognise

that St Peter’s is a central

hub for a multitude of community

and independent groups

and provides a home for their

groups as it has done in the

past,” he said.

Rev Mountfort said St Peter’s

has an active fundraising strategy

that has been developed to

ensure they reach their goal.

“At the moment, we are focusing

on a Living Stones concept,

where we are inviting people to

donate towards a block or stone

in support of our fundraising

campaign,” he said.

Donors are then recognised

by way of a map in the foyer

which will denote the locations

of stones and blocks as given by

each donor.

Rev Mountfort said they are

hopeful they will reach their

fundraising target next year.

Cr Buck said the church was

the “foundation stone of Church

Corner.”

Halswell Ward city councillor

Galloway also saw importance

in giving more money to the

church.

“Yes it is a heritage building

but more importantly it’s a community

building and this community

needs this to strengthen

and enhance what it does,” she

said.

The church requires a further

$500,000 of funding for their

$3.93 million upgrade which

will see the building extended,

altered and restored.

St Peter’s has been paid $1.5

million from insurance.

•From page 1

City council staff had strongly

advised board chairman Mike

Mora not to allow Mr Peters to

do so, the reason being because

the matter was subject to a hearing.

Mr Mora used his discretion to

give Mr Peters the opportunity.

Mr Peters had previously made

a deputation on Denton Park,

but said he had new information

which he needed to share.

During the presentation, Mr

Peters said entering into the reclassification

process would be a

waste of time and money for the

city council as the clubs weren’t

going to end their leases.

The Hornby Rugby Football

Club’s lease runs until 2039 and

the Hornby Cricket Club’s lease

ends in 2053.

Mr Peters said its likely the

city council has already made

up their mind and they’re only

going through with public consultation

so they “show interest.”

He said the group definitely

want the facility but not on Denton

Park.

Mr Peters told the board he’s

been requesting figures from the

city council on remediation costs

at Kyle Park, but they were unable

to provide them.

City council operations manager

neighbourhood and sports

park, Al Hardy, told Western

News garden areas were fenced

off permanently two years ago

at Kyle Park as a remediation

strategy.

“The areas have been mulched

to ensure the amenity of the park

is retained while containing the

risk. The cost of the fencing was

$138,237,” he said.

Board member Ross McFarlane

requested two additional

city council resolutions regarding

traffic, safety and sports club

accomodation to be fast tracked

for clarification.

Williams

winning a

three-year

battle against hamburger

company Wendy’s. Mrs

Williams’ battle now

means Wendy’s workers

will be given their days in

lieu when they work on

public holidays

Kate Blackley-c – Good

on her for standing strong. Poor

example Wendy’s, trying to

contract out of law. Makes you

wonder what else they do.

Shannon Burrows - I don’t

get Wendy’s excuse . . . they

didn’t pay it because hours are

changeable . . . it’s got nothing to

do with normal hours . . . if you

work it you work it and you get

the lieu day.

Lyla Heaslip – My question

is why did it take three years to

get this right . . . wrong on every

level.

Kerri Scott – Shame on you

Wendy’s. Well done Rose.

Judy Gillstrom – Great

work – all staff are deserving

of this. Come on New Zealand

employers, treat your staff with

respect.

Danella Friend – Good on

her.

Ruth Sproston – Congratulations,

awesome win.

Carly McAllister – Good

for her.

Ange Hodges – Awesome

work.

Jase Anthony – That’ll teach

fast food owners to not rip off

their hard-working employees.

Crooks.

Sally King – Good on her.

Rachel Roberts – If it’s not

your normal rostered day, you

only get time-and-a-half period.

If its your normal rostered day

on you get time-and-a-half

plus the day in lieu. If it’s your

normal rosteted day on and you

don’t work it, its still a normal

day’s wage for you. You do not

have to work a stat day if you

don’t want to. Employer can not

force you. Hospitality is a minefield

in regards to hours paid in a

lieu day and is usually calculated

by average of hours worked over

a three-month period, as hours

worked are very changable.

Graeme Brown – How the

hell did this even make it to

court? More money wasted when

anyone with common sense

could see they were breaking the

law.

Cherisse Masefield – Well

done. Shame on you Wendy’s.

Tanya Didham – There’s

also a thing called ‘they smashed

the unions back in the 80s and

everyone forgot how to collectively

bargain.’ I feel for that

woman, good on her for sticking

to her guns.

Debbie Erickson – Yes

weakening the unions and

people are scared to stand up

because they could lose their

job which are hard to find these

days.

Kathryn Macgregor -

Wendy’s not sticking to the law

– tut tut.

Trish McGregor – Good on

her well done.

Encouraging kids to value community

Halswell

Residents’

Association

secretary

David

Hawke talks

about the

proposed

Halswell

Skate Parks and what

they will mean to the

community

About two weeks ago there

was a news article on how

young people in Papanui

have been left out by way of

recreation facilities where they

can socialise on their own

terms.

The Halswell Residents’

Association has been pushing

the same issue in Halswell

for 10 years now, and it is

tremendous to have the two

new skate and recreation

facilities at Halswell Domain

and Knights Stream within

sight.

We are fully expecting the

city council to complete both

facilities well before the end of

the council’s financial year in

June 2018.

As we think about the

journey to this point, our key

driver has been the need to

value our young people within

our community.

We see the provision of

relevant facilities as part of a

bigger picture that includes

citizenship and community

building. As these eight to

12-year-olds grow up, we want

them to value the community

in which they live and to play

their part in decision making.

One of the awesome aspects

of the Halswell skate park

consultation was the active

engagement of young people

in the process, to the extent

that our association’s role

moved to the sidelines.

One of the unfortunate

realities of our new

Christchurch suburbia is

the distance between people

socially, technologically and

by income.

These aspects have made

worse the always-present gap

between young and old. The

Halswell skate and recreation

parks, and the consultation

process so far, gives us hope

BENEFIT: David

Hawke thinks the

proposed Halswell

Domain skate

park, which is due

to be completed in

late April, will have

a positive impact

on the community.

that our community can cross

these gaps, becoming more

trusting and less fearful.

Even though people won’t

agree all the time, and some

will be upset. The alternative

is a community, and political

process, driven by low

participation, lack of trust,

and resentment. We see such

a chain of events playing out

particularly in the United

States, and the consequences

are dire for everyone and

difficult to reverse.

Big risk of fire in Antarctica

• By Mark Thomas –

Specialist fire investigator

I’VE JUST got back from

Scott Base.

Sound like bragging?

Damn right!

This was the trip of a

lifetime.

Two fire people and one

industry expert were invited

by Antarctica NZ to

examine the fire systems,

the building fire separation

and the ability for occupants

to escape.

Antarctica is cold, we all

know that.

But it’s also not only the

windiest place on earth but

also one of the driest.

So fire is one of the biggest

risks.

In the last 10 years, fires

at the Russian and Brazilian

bases have cost three

lives.

Others have perished in

this way over time.

Even Scott Base itself lost

a hut to fire in 2009.

Antarctica NZ takes fire

danger very seriously.

Base staff, including

engineers, electricians,

carpenters, mechanics,

To eat turkey, sample

‘American as mom’ apple

and pumpkin pie at a table

with four Americans, to

share what you had to

be thankful for with the

group, and then to walk

the 4km back to Scott

Base at midnight in bright

sunshine was, like the

whole trip, a privilege.

One I’m grateful for.

Students

who love

science

take on

competition


TWO OF Riccarton High School’s

most promising science students have

been selected for a national event.

Forty senior secondary school students

from across the country will be

finding answers to challenging questions

posed by scientists at Powering

Potential next week in Wellington.

Kate Stedman, 18, and Wen Qi

(Vanessa) Ye, 16, both from Riccarton

High School, will be taking part in the

event.

The students will work alongside a

scientist, who will act as their mentor

for the three days. They will work in

teams of five on a question submitted

by their mentor. They will then

research, investigate and collaborate to

provide recommendations.

All costs for the students, including

flights, accommodation and social

activities, are covered by Royal Society

Te Apārangi, Freemasons New

Zealand and Ministry of Business,

Innovation and Employment.

Shops bursting with

festive gift ideas

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making

up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you

haven’t already done so.

Finding those special gifts and stocking

fillers as well as the Christmas treats for

the table is so easy at our city’s malls and

shopping centres, where the shops are

bursting with festive merchandise.

Every woman likes to receive bodypampering

gifts, and there is a huge

selection of these priced to suit all budgets

at the many pharmacies and gift shops

around the city. Perfume is another

favourite and again there is a wide

selection to choose from, ranging from

exciting new releases to the well-known

fragrances that have stood the test of time.

Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories,

homewares and decor items – there’s no

end to the ideas for the women on the list.

The men are equally well catered for, from

the sophisticated metro-male boyfriends,

to the car-crazy brothers and the DIY

enthusiast and keen gardener husbands

and dads. Choose from clothing, books,

tools, personal grooming items and

gadgets to put a smile on their face on

Christmas morning.

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families

more joy than seeing the excitement

of the children opening their presents.

Whether they are delivered by Santa or

snuck under the tree by mum and dad,

the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building

blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and

pretty dresses currently filling the shops

will bring squeals of sheer happiness from

the smallest family members.

The tweens and teens usually have their

own ideas about what they want for

Christmas, so the gift cards offered by a

wide range of retailers are the perfect way

to please.

RED CROSS

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or

on to the sports field?

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children

HEALTH & BEAUTY

New hope for patients

suffering from MS,

strokes or spinal injuries

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental

health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment

that brings fast, and often immediate results.

Special offer for DeceMBer - if you

have suffered a stroke, spinal injury or

have MS, then this article is for you.

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan

established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch

in 1993. As she continued her research and medical

practice, she discovered a reflexology network on

the human body, an exciting new discovery that

became the foundation of her new treatment –

acupuncture without needles.

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument

to stimulate the reflexology points on the face

or other parts of the body. When the point is

stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the

repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan

explains, the treatment increases energy, which

boosts the body’s healing system.

The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but

that is a slow process. In addition, many people will

start to use their injured part, for example a knee

or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore

prolonging the injury and even causing chronic

pain.

With her powerful treatment, results are produced

very quickly – even instantly.

She likens it to the differences between the

power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane

– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –

reflexology network.

It brings fast results because it is a very precise

treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people

of all ages with many different types of pain in all

parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS,

and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects.

Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing

low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s

treatment.

Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant

improvement for muscle weakness and numbness

caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke

and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan

reflexology to see lots of instant results videos.

Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology

Network, which introduces the treatment and

explains how it works. Her website, www.

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment

videos, where people who have had the treatment

speak about the fast relief it has brought them.

Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10

patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury

1 in 2 people

deficient in B12

Emerging research has shown as

many as 50% of older adults & as many

as 25% of younger adults are deficient

in vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush

University Medical Center found those

most deficient in vitamin B12 to have the

smallest brain mass & the lowest scores

on tests measuring short-term memory,

concentration & brain performance.

Another study showed that older people

with higher levels of B12 in their blood

have bigger, healthier brains & score

higher on cognitive tests than those with

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark

study showed that B12 supplementation

slows the accelerated rate of brain

shrinkage & declining cognitive function.

B12 is essential for energy production, cell

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles,

nerve health & repair, & prevention of

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular

risk factor that is known to cause damage

& plaque in the blood vessels. It

can also increase

the chances of a

stroke. Harvard

researchers found

a 34% decrease risk

of vision loss in a

study of participants

aged 40+ who supplemented with B12.

Another study linked a higher risk of

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who

were low in B12.

The reason so many people lack B12

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb

it declining with age as the digestive

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux

medication & other drugs further reduce

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth &

thru bypassing the digestive tract have

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels

in the body.

Further detailed information is

available from the Natural Health

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

Keep safe these holidays on the roads

You will need to take extra care when

travelling in holiday periods because of

increased traffic volumes, congestion,

tiredness and people driving in unfamiliar

environments. Being courteous,

remembering to share the road with others

and scheduling frequent breaks can help

you keep your cool when driving during

these times.

Follow these tips to ensure your travel is

a safe and pleasurable experience for you

and others on the road.

Why you need to be alert

• There are more vehicles on the road

– more vehicles means a higher risk of

crashes.

• Many people are driving on unfamiliar

roads.

• People are driving long hours and

getting fatigued – often early morning or

late evening.

• Increased stress from factors such

as heat, traffic jams, noisy children and

general tiredness.

• People on holiday may be less vigilant

about road safety, eg speeding, driving

when tired, not buckling up.

• There’s more drink-driving during

holiday periods.

What you can do to increase your

safety

You can make a number of choices

to increase your safety on your holiday

journey. You need to give road use the

attention and respect it deserves.

Plan ahead

• Take a little time to make sure that you

- ATM

- COFFEE

Christmas Motoring

and your vehicle are safe before starting

your journey.

• Plan your travel to avoid the worst

peak traffic periods when many highways

become congested.

• Allow plenty of time – make the

journey part of the holiday.

• Schedule regular rest stops.

Be alert to changes

Often during holiday periods,

passing lanes are closed to help reduce

congestion and prevent further delays

where the traffic merges at the end of

lanes. Sometimes alternative routes are

suggested. Check our information on

highway conditions for real-time updates

about route changes, delays, closures and

incidents.

Drive to the conditions

‘Conditions’ doesn’t just mean the

weather. It also includes:

• the road you’re on

• the traffic conditions

• the speed (the speed limit and a ‘safe

speed’ may differ)

• you, for example are you tired or on

medication that affects your driving

• your vehicle and load.

Watch out for fatigue

Long trips are tiring and fatigue can be

deadly when you’re driving. Driver fatigue

was a factor in 54 road deaths and nearly

1000 injuries last year. Plan to get enough

rest beforehand so that you drive fresh.

You should plan in advance where you’ll

take breaks on your trip.

• Have your vehicle

checked. Most garages

offer safety checks for tyre

tread and pressure, lights,

brakes, cooling systems

and other components. (A

well-tuned vehicle is also more

fuel efficient, so you’ll also save money

on fuel costs. Check that your warrant of

fitness and vehicle licence are up to date.

• Check that you have a current driver

licence. If it’s expired or close to expiry,

you’ll need to renew it before starting your

journey.

When buying or hiring a vehicle, always

choose the safest vehicle you can afford.

When packing your vehicle, make sure

everything is securely stowed. Even small

objects can become dangerous missiles in

the event of a sudden stop or crash.

Check your trailers and caravans

Check all towing attachments and make

sure the couplings are compatible. Also

remember to check the safety chain, trailer

lights, tyres and brakes.

Remember, if you’re towing a trailer,

your maximum speed limit on the open

road is 90km/h. Keep left and pull over

when it is safe to let other vehicles pass.

Load heavy objects evenly over all of the

axles.

Keep your cool

Holiday driving can be frustrating

with busy roads, often slower sightseeing

travellers, stifling heat in summer and icy

surfaces in winter. Here are some simple

and easy ways to stay calm and stay in

Moving to

95 Gasson St

in December

control:

• Be courteous – let others merge into

traffic and indicate before turning or

changing lanes.

• Keep left unless passing.

• If you’re a slower driver, pull over

when you can to let others pass.

• Be patient and don’t be provoked by

other drivers’ aggressive behaviour.

• Remember that trucks and towing

vehicles have lower speed limits. Wait for

a passing lane or until you can see clear

road ahead of you and enough space to

overtake safely.

• Keep an eye out for cyclists and other

road users. Give them plenty of space.

• Watch out for horses on back country

roads.

Buckle up

Don’t let your family holiday be marred

by tragedy simply because someone didn’t

buckle up. If you’re the driver, you are

legally responsible for making sure all

passengers under the age of 15 are securely

restrained with either a safety belt or child

restraint. Children under seven must be

properly restrained by an approved child

restraint suitable to their size and weight.
