Concern
over
quarry
truck
numbers
• By Emily O’Connell
ONE-HUNDRED-and-twenty-five
truck movements every hour.
That’s what Weedons and
Templeton residents may face if the
proposed quarry near their areas goes
ahead.
Fulton Hogan says the quarry,
which will be on a 170ha section
of land on Dawsons, Curraghs and
Jones Rds, will be there for up to 40
years.
The company told Western News it
is anticipating 1500 truck movements
in or out of the site a day.
Templeton Residents’ Association
chairman Garry Kilday is concerned
about the large number of trucks on
roads which are already busy.
“Fifteen hundred will go past a
specific point everyday over a 12-
hour period. Now that’s 125 truck
movements per hour,” he said.
Fulton Hogan said the time and
days the quarry would be open
was part of its resource consent
application, which the company won’t
divulge yet.

I’VE SEEN some intriguing sporting
records over the years, but the one we
have on page 1 would be among the most
remarkable.
Twin brothers going toe-to-toe, not in
the boxing ring, but in the triple jump.
Nant and Nont Prachuabmoh beat each other’s newly set
record at Christ’s College in two jumps before landing incredibly
at the same distance on their third.
The twins are competitive in many aspects, and finishing
equal was not the ideal outcome for either.
The fight to stop the planned Fulton Hogan quarry near
Templeton is going to get hot (see page 1).
The residents’ group looks well organised and has a leader at
its helm. This will be a dog fight to the end, I suspect.

Intersection review due in May
• By Julia Evans
THE OUTCOME of an
independent review of the
Glandovey and Idris Rds
intersection may be known in
May.
City council manager
planning and delivery transport
Lynette Ellis said a report on the
intersection will be sent back
to the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board.
“The results and analysis
of the work undertaken will
be collated into a report to
the community board. This
is expected to be delivered in
May,” she said.
Ms Ellis said a detailed time
line for the work could not
be given as it was being done
independently not in house by
the city council.
Last week, Nor’West News
reported the city council
had appointed a consultant
to “provide an independent
review/opinion” of the
intersection.
It is part of an ongoing saga
between the city council,
community board, and the
Glandovey, Idris and Straven
Residents’ Association,
which has been trying to
improve pedestrian and
cyclist safety in the area.
The association also wants
restrictions on heavy trucks.
As well as a review, the city
council has commissioned
traffic modelling to forecast
the effect of any changes to the
intersection and restrictions
including some proposed for
heavy vehicles could have on
the wider network and a vehicle
count.
“The additional tube and
camera traffic counts has been
completed and we are awaiting
the information from the
contractor,” Ms Ellis said.
A camera has also been
installed above the intersection
to record traffic “turning
motion” after the residents
found heavy vehicles could
not navigate the intersection
without cutting into other
lanes.

spokesman James Wilding
said the city council had
undertaken some remedial
work by widening the cycleway,
realigning the angle and
moving two vehicle lanes by
about a metre and repainting
cycle lane symbols.
He said the group “thanked”
the city council for that work,
which it did “in advance” of
commissioning the current
report.

Riccarton Rd work to restart
• By Emily O’Connell
ROAD WORKS on Riccarton
Rd could be finished in May.
Riccarton Ward city
councillor Vicki Buck has said
the “latest thinking” was for the
main resurfacing work between
Harakeke and Matipo Sts to be
completed in April and May.
Cr Buck said “ground
investigations, minor kerb
work and the
remaining
underground
pipe work is
proposed to
begin in mid-
March with two
Vicki Buck
weeks of night
works.”
But city
council transport operations
manager Steffan Thomas isn’t
able to confirm a time frame
until staff meet again with
stakeholders this week.
“The project team is working
with a contractor to ensure
impacts are minimised and time
frames reduced,” Mr Thomas
said.
Road works have been under
way on Riccarton Rd since
September 2016 to replace
earthquake-damaged water
pipes and implement a bus
priority scheme.
ONGOING: Work will soon start on resurfacing Riccarton Rd
between Harakeke and Matipo Sts and is set to be completed
by April and May.
The work was put on hold
during the Christmas period to
give businesses some respite.
Following a meeting last week,
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board is now
going to recommend to the city
council that stages three and
four of the bus priority scheme
and three waters upgrade
continue as combined projects
until the end of construction.
Twin brothers
uncanny record
•From page 1
Nant then stepped up again.
He took first place back with
another record-breaking leap,
but that was only for a few moments.
Not to be outdone, Nont
out did his brother on his second
attempt and it was all on for the
third and final attempts.
The boys stepped up for the
final jump each. A jump that
would see one of them labelled
school champion.
Teacher Matt Thatcher was
measuring the jumps. He said
he began to laugh when he saw
the numbers for the third jump.
They were identical – 10.84m.
“Everyone clicked and was
blown away. Some couldn’t believe
it,” he said.
But Mr Thatcher said the two
boys were not pleased with the
outcome. “Nant and Nont did
not seem too happy to be tied.”
Nont said he and his brother
are particularly competitive, especially
during school athletics.
The triple jump wasn’t the only
record broken, three others fell,
including one by year 10 student
Sam Idiens who broke his own
record for the under-14 3000m.

Murray meets his match at CBHS
• By Julia Evans
A 17-YEAR-OLD Christchurch
Boys’ High student has
managed to do what the world’s
best rowers could not.
He beat Eric Murray.
Although it wasn’t on the
water, year 12 student Tom
Woelders took on the double
Olympic gold medallist and
four-time world champion
in a head-to-head erg race on
Thursday night.
Before the short and fast
500m race on their rowing
machines, Tom and Murray had
a quick warm up.
The race was over in just over
1min.
But when he looked down to
see his time, Tom said he was
surprised he’d rowed more
than three seconds faster that
Murray.
He clocked 1min 19.8sec,
while Murray lost by more
than three seconds with 1min
23.2sec.
CBHS rowing coach Ricardo
De Souza said Tom was selected
because he had the best erg time
in the school.
Mr De Souza said after
beating Murray it’s clear Tom
has a bright rowing future
ahead of him.
His good form is just in time
for the Maadi Cup, which
begins on March 19 at Lake
Ruataniwha, Twizel.
Mr De Souza said he never
doubted Tom could win.
“I always had my money on
Tom. Eric’s been out of rowing
for a while now. Where Tom’s
just finishing up the end of
his season. He’s been on the
water non-stop for the last six
months,” he said.
Tom he said he wasn’t too
phased by the calibre of his
competitor. But it was a “great”
experience going up against the
Olympian.
“It was a really good time. He
gave me a few pointers before
the race,” Tom said.
Although he wasn’t certain
he could beat him, it was a great
feeling looking down at the erg
and seeing his time was more
than three seconds faster than
Murray’s.
But beating Murray hasn’t

His mind is firmly on the
next big competition, which
will be the last chance he has to
take out the Maadi Cup with
CBHS before he finishes
school.
“We’re just getting ready for
Maadi now,” he said.
After the race, Murray helped
the school name the two new
Laszlo boats in its fleet, which
the rowers will be taking to
Twizel.

Quarry truck
numbers
concern
residents
•From page 1
Mr Kilday said the company
had “completely thrown their
neighbourhood and community
into chaos.”
A Fulton Hogan spokesman
said if resource consent is
granted for the quarry “it
will not operate until new
access roads have been built to
accommodate the increase in
truck movements.”
He said the company was
aware of the community’s
concerns about more truck
movements.
“We intend to work
collaboratively with the
community and local authorities
to position our quarry entrance
so that the majority of truck
movements will access and exit
via State Highway 1, rather than
using local roads,” he said.
Templeton and Weedons
residents have expressed their
concerns about the potential
health risks, water issues and
devaluing of properties at public

‘So much to enjoy’
Oak
Development
Trust manager
Carol Renouf
writes about
what the
Riccarton
community
has to be grateful for
I SAT with my grandchildren
at Sparks in the Park a few
weeks ago, enthralled watching
the magnificent fireworks
display while listening to
the Christchurch Symphony
Orchestra playing the 1812
Overture.
A free gift from the city to the
people of the city. During the hot
summer holiday days, I visited a
number of the parks of our city,
with trees that provided much
needed shade, a playground and
swimming pool, clean and well
maintained. The New Brighton
play area is awesome, a credit to
the designers.
I asked those who gathered at
the Common Ground Café on
Rattray St what they appreciated
and are proud of in Riccarton.
They named Deans Bush, the
community garden and the
provision of a good bus system
as assets they enjoyed.
SUCCESS: Oak Development Trust manager Carol Renouf
says the Riccarton community is proud of its public garden.
Their experience had been of
people being welcoming, friendly
and supportive of each other.
The diversity of cultures was appreciated.
The group expressed a
pride in the way our community
and our city has been resilient as
we have gone through much.
There is so much to enjoy,
celebrate and explore in this
city. I often feel this city does
not disappoint. So much to be
grateful and thankful for. Yet
these things just don’t happen by
accident.
People work hard often behind
the scenes to make them a reality.
I wonder this week whether
we should take time out of our
schedule to thank someone
who works to make our city the
great place it is. It could be those
who keep our swimming pools
clean in our parks or the lawns
mowed. Or those who collect
our rubbish. It could be a letter
of thanks to our children’s teachers
at school or pre-school.
Let’s take up the challenge of
being grateful to someone that
gives to generously serve our city
this week.
Two weeks ago Western
News reported on
Halswell Pharmacy owner
Karen Frater’s push for a
pedestrian crossing on
Ensign St. Readers respond
Anna Marie – I am 100 per
cent in a agreement for the need
of a controlled pedestrian crossing
in Ensign St. Even
more now that there
will be a more active
business life on the
other side of the road.
I have seen a few near
misses with children
rushing across to the
pharmacy.It is also
hard for elderly. Too many motorists
speed along Ensign St.
Ally Syme – Yes I think
there should be a pedestrian
crossing on Ensign St, especially
when the new shopping centre
opens. Another thing that needs
attention of the police is people

do not stop at stop signs. I often
see people in cars going through
the stop signs on Brigham Drive
and Patterson Tce, and Lancewood
Drive onto Dunbars Rd,
also Lillian St onto Halswell Rd.
Tony Bishop – The idea of a
crossing outside the pharmacy is
great, especially with the rebuild
of the shopping area.
The other major problem
we have with Ensign
St is the sheer speed
of some of the traffic.
Early last year the city
council and a couple of
other people came and
visited Ensign St to see
for themselves the problem we
are having with traffic speed.
In their wisdom, they decided
that the way to slow the traffic
down was to paint white lines
down the middle of the road.
Unfortunately nothing will be
done about traffic speed until
something serious happens.

Volunteer Jack’s life of league,
Hornby Panthers’
Jack Newson was
named top male
volunteer at the
recent New Zealand
Rugby League
Awards. Andrew
King speaks to the
ageless 76-year-old
So Jack, you have a longstanding
tie with the Hornby
Panthers, 66 years and
counting. What got you into
league?
When I was growing up every
young kid around the country
wanted to be an All Black. But
we were from Hornby and we
wanted to be Kiwis. That was
the difference, we are a staunch
rugby league area. League
dominated and I still love the
game right up to today. It has
been my life.
Now you volunteer for the
club and was named top male
volunteer of the year by NZRL.
Are there more people helping
out nowadays or less?
There is plenty of people who
help out with the club and we
have an excellent committee who
gets a lot of work done. I just help
out when I can and I don’t live
far away. I go over there every
week.
I like to go to the schoolboys’
prize giving. I love watching the
younger kids coming through.
Gave up coaching but I really
like watching them develop
their skills. There is a lot of good
coaches there now, that have
passed me.
I used to coach 14s take them
to 15s then to 16s and then drop
back down and do it all over
again.
So what keeps you coming
back to help out?
It is part of my life. My love of
the club, the sport all rolls into
one. It is a major part of my life.
When my boys finished playing I

was a bit lost. I had been
flat tack chasing teams here
there everywhere then it just
stopped. Now grand kids are
coming through so it all started
again.
Did you play right through
the grades?
I did. Started off with
schoolboys stuff. Back in those
days, it was done on weights
rather than ages. There was an
old fish scale hung from a tree
and you all lined up one by one
we would hang on it and get put
in a team. We would try fast
a bit to get into a lower grade
(laughing). And I continued
through to the senior’s grade.
Premiers got brought in later. I
played in the second row, then
prop later on.
Who are some of the notable
guys you played alongside?
I played with some good
players but the standouts were
John Bray, who played for the
Kiwis in 1964, Ian Drayton,
who played in the same team,
Brian Langton, who played for
CHARGER: Jack Newson
playing in the masters grade
in 2003 for Hornby.
Canterbury, and I was coached
by the legendary Mel Cooke in
open grade senior football.
Cooke must have been an
inspiration?
Oh, he was terrific. He could
bring the best out of you. He
would lay it on the line what he
wanted to be done, but he would
encourage you to play better. He
was an inspiration to us all and
captained the Kiwis for many
years.
Did you ever get selected for
higher honours?
I made the Kiwis masters
squad in 2008 in the Gold Coast
and the last time was 2013. They
were always good trips. It is
never really serious, especially
at our age. I captained them at
AMI Stadium against Australia.
We won twice and drew once
and the rest we lost. I played for
the Canterbury Maori squad a
few times.
You still play now. What that
like?
I am still playing masters for
Hornby, but we are struggling for
players this year. I could play for
the Shirley Hawks, they said they
have room for me. But I would
rather play for Hornby. We have
been going 16 years straight but
a few numbers dropping away
now.
That is incredible. So your
whole family has been involved
with the club as well in some
way?
Yes my daughter Mataara, 50,
played Hornby in the women’s
team. Sam, 48, played in the
lower grades before he decided to
play basketball instead. John, 47,
played right through the grades
and was selected in the 1989
Junior Kiwis who toured Papua
New Guinea. Hemi, 45, was the
same and was also selected in the
1990 Junior Kiwis and played for
the New Zealand Maori before
playing in the south of France for
a while. Lincoln, 43, also played
through the grades and made
the Canterbury and Canterbury
Maori sides. Hemi and Lincoln
also boxed at the same time and
both won Golden Gloves titles.

league and more rugby league
HONOURED: Jack Newson was named male volunteer of the
year by New Zealand Rugby League after spending 66 years
with the Hornby Panthers. (Above) – His first Hornby side in
1952 (back right).
Plus I have 12 grand kids and
about three of them have played
for Hornby too.
I’d imagine you get down the
clubrooms for a few quiet ones?
I still get down every Friday
night. I don’t stay as late as I used
to. Back in the day, there used to
be complaints that we had left
the lights on from guys going to
work, but we would still be there
getting a few in.
You must have some really
good stories from those days?
Grand finals were the
biggest event we had. There is
no comparison compared to
nowadays. In the clubrooms
you couldn’t move. And back
then we had a huge rivalry with
Halswell, the Hornets, and the
hatred between the spectators
was amazing. One grand final
in the mid to late 80s we hired
a helicopter to land on the No
2 field at the Addington Show
Grounds (now AMI Stadium)
and a kid in a Hornets suit
jumped out. We had a guy in a
spray can outfit with ‘Panthers’
on it and a fire extinguisher who
hunted the Hornet done and
‘killed it’. Then some pallbearers
come on to the field, put it in
a coffin and went to take it off
the field. Well some Halswell
fans didn’t like this and a group
dressed up as clowns came on
the field and started to beat up
the pallbearers. A full riot looked
like it was going to break out but
the Hornby cheerleaders raced
‘I played with some good players but the standouts
were John Bray, who played for the Kiwis in 1964,
Ian Drayton, who played in the same team, Brian
Langton, who played for Canterbury, and I was
coached by the legendary Mel Cooke in open grade
senior football’ – Jack Newson
on and started to hit the clowns
with their pom-poms and it
fizzled out.
Now you have lived on the
same section all your life.
Tell me about that?
Yeah, we have lived in the
same section since I was born in
1942. It is not the same house,
we knocked the old one down in
1969 and built the one we are in
now in 1970. The old one didn’t
have running hot water and
the toilet was outside and the
bath was in the wash house also
outside. Every week a night man
used to come empty the toilet
for us.
My dad, unfortunately, died
when I was three so mum raised
me by herself.
It must have been tough
losing your dad when you were
so young?
Yes it was. He died from
injuries he got in World War 1 in
1945, so quite a long time after
he got back in 1918. He had some
form of blood poisoning. But I
was actually adopted. My father’s
sister, who is now my mother
took me in from birth and raised
me as her own and then my
dad, Jim Newson, adopted me
as well. I was one of 12. There is
only me and my brother, Murray
Tirikatene, left. I still see him
and other parts of that side of my
family.
Oh wow. So any particular
reason why have you never
moved from that section?
There was and still is no need
to. All my work was here. I
worked at the freezing works as a
slaughter man on the chain over
the back fence. My mum was
here.
Then I had my family and we
all lived here with my mum so
we built a sleep out out back
for her. She lived with us the
whole time. I mean I worked
the odd job out of town. I was
a boilermaker by trade and the
freezing works was seasonal so I
went out of town every now and
again.
What is your best memory in
the Islington house?
Probably when the kids were
young running around the
house, making noise and getting
into mischief. At the time it was
not so good. But it was the first
thing you missed when you were
away.

underperforming. Some of the common symptoms can be tiredness, weakness, confusion, skin spots &
lumps, rashes, hormonal in-balance, dark circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration of the whites of the
eyes to name a few. Luckily liver function can generally be improved with diet,
lifestyle changes & nutritional support.

Centuries old folk
remedy supports
good health!
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of
powerful health benefits. It is none other than the
popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.
Since the time of Hippocrates – the
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been
renowned for its curative properties.
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis
reports how he found that Vermonters
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey
had excellent health with many putting in
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties. He also noted
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be
remarkable with many patients reporting
almost total relief after taking a course
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use. He also noted
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and
H around meal time had excellent blood
pressure and circulation. The reason he
found was that protein foods thickened
the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the
blood thickens it cannot pass as easily
and quickly through the blood vessels and
capillaries. This poor blood flow
would reduce cellular health by
limiting nutrients to the cells as
well as waste elimination from the
cells. To prevent cell damage the
body naturally increases blood
pressure but this puts more stress
on the blood vessels, organs and
heart. Having ACV and H with
meals will help prevent protein
raising the blood pressure. It also
contributes to a feeling of greater
well-being because the thinner
blood circulates quickly and
more easily through the blood
vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular
consumption of CV and H to be
an excellent health tonic with
numerous Health attributes.
ACV SUPPORTS
• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes
• Energy – Vitality – Endurance
• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites
• Powerful antioxidant
• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure
• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity
• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health
• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux
• Weight Loss
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all
the goodness of the apple in a form that is
readily accepted by the bodyGood health
starts with good digestion and assimilation
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will
stimulate and promote healthy digestion
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good
health. A well-functioning digestive system
helps prevent disease by neutralising any
toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all ACV is
produced in the traditional way and results
are likely to prove disappointing with these
other vinegars.
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in
the traditional way. It is double strength so
you can use less.

What’s happening
at Lady Wigram
Retirement Village?
It’s been a busy few years for The
Golden Healthcare Group with their latest
development of Lady Wigram Retirement
Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas
were occupied in August 2015 and now 101
villas are completed.
In December, the club house opened
which provides a bowling green, hair
dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard
room, movie theatre and library. The Club
House has all the trimmings, including 16
one and two bedrooms Apartments. The
next stage will also include a swimming
pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments.
When speaking with one of their
residents about how he feels about the new
Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is
so excited about it opening, we have all
been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is
fascinated as to how the fountain works.
He has lived in the village for the past
few years, enjoying his new life style and
making friends. He has also picked up new
hobbies including learning to play mahjong,
“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr
Havill owned his own home for 44 years
and in that time he maintained the house,
painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t
have to do that anymore, this is my place for
the moment. Every villa is different, even
though they look the same. But you make it
your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this
age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in
but no one else can and that is an additional
sense of security for us”.
Owner John Tooby says “our residents
are very involved in the continuing
development of the village, they share our
pride in making this a great place to live. It’s
a real community and it continues to grow”.
How’s your LIVER doing?
Your liver affects how you feel, your
mood, hormones, energy and overall
health. In fact it carries out over 500 crucial
functions that are vital to maintain good
health. If your liver is under-performing as
is the case for most of us, it means that the
body has more toxins that could be setting
the stage for disease. Disease can normally
only survive if the environment is suitable.
A well performing body will generally have
a much better chance of staying healthy.
Some symptoms of an underperforming
liver can be: Fatigue, weakness, trouble
concentrating, confusion, dark urine, dark
circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration
of the whites of the eyes, bloating and gas,
dry and dark patches on the neck and
under arms, bruising easily, constipation,
skin spots and rashes, eczema, psoriasis,
hormonal problems, moody and many
more.
The liver is the only organ in the body that
can regenerate itself if the right conditions
are met. In most cases the liver function can
be improved relatively easily with diet and
lifestyle changes and nutritional support.
Natural herbal extracts like milk thistle,
dandelion, globe artichoke, burdock, grape
seed and turmeric have been shown to be
very effective at supporting detoxification,
digestion and liver function. These herbs
are food for the liver and body. They
provide the building blocks to allow the
liver to regenerate healthy cells. All these
ingredients are available in a high potency
one-a-day vegie capsule.
Fresh vegetable juices are an excellent way
to provide the body with easily absorbed
nutrients. They also help the liver detox the
body and support its regeneration.
Certain strains of probiotics have been
shown to support healthy digestion, liver
function and much more. A one-a-day
comprehensive high potency probiotic
is highly recommended to support good
health.
Apple cider vinegar as well as being highly
nutritious contains beneficial enzymes that
support healthy digestion, liver function
and absorption of nutrients.
As your liver function improves you will
notice increased energy, clearer skin, less
hormonal problems, better digestion, and
a positive mood and sharper mind just to
name a few.
Further detailed information on
how to support your liver and general
health is available from the Natural
Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health &
Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, phone 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Highly effective
treatment brings
Special offer - one treatment for
arthritis at half price for the first 10 people
who make an appointment before april 6.
‘amazing’ results
for arthritis patient
Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort
and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life.
However, thanks to a highly effective treatment
offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao,
they can get fast, and very often immediate relief.
Lan developed the treatment, known as
‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes
as being similar to reflexology in that the problem
area on the body is determined through pressure,
but is much more accurate.
One client who was thrilled with the results of
this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was
having problems with her right hand after she overused
it following an injury to her left hand and it
became arthritic.
“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and
it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it.
This also made it very difficult to do everyday things
like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,”
Corinna said.
After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend,
Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled
with the results.
“The difference after one treatment was amazing.
My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.”
A further six treatments followed, and Corinna
said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was
improving every day and things were back to
normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was
due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t
think she would need any further treatment.
“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing –
and there were no needles involved!”
Lan uses acupuncture without needles to treat a
wide range of injuries and medical conditions and is
now ACC registered.
Dr Lan is offering one treatment for arthritis
at half price for the first 10 people who make an
appointment before April 6. Her clinic is located
at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to
5pm.
To discuss your health issues or make an
appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

Temporary premises
for Smooth-Air
Throughout 2018, it’s business as usual
for ventilation equipment specialists,
Smooth-Air, as they operate from
temporary premises at 351c Blenheim
Road while their Annex Rd premises are
being rebuilt.
Due to re-open in early 2019, the
new building will be better suited to the
company’s needs and more efficient than
the previous one, marketing spokesperson
Kate Rattray says.
“In the meantime, we will be continually
moving onwards and upwards with
an increased product range to service
our commercial, trade and domestic
customers.
“We are also pleased to have on board
our new national sales manager Phil
Henderson, and new regional manager
Richard Jack. Their focus will be on
continuing to provide customers with
excellent service and advice,” Kate says.
Experts in providing quality of air for
domestic and commercial purposes,
Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all
types of ventilation systems including
ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in
fact, anything that moves air into, out of,
or around a building.
While the majority of customers are
trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to
the public, with a range of extraction
and ventilation systems, as well as other
ventilation components for domestic use.
For the domestic market, the focus is on
cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air
has several ventilation systems designed
for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390
is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic
and commercial premises, exchanging
fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat
(or cooling) from the expelled air.
Their HTU heat transfer unit is another
popular option, transferring heat from
log burners to other areas of the home,
improving energy efficiency and reducing
power consumption.
Smooth-Air also caters for large
commercial projects, with the capacity to
produce substantial quantities of TD panel
duct, as well as provide other specified
equipment, including AirChange heat
exchangers such as those used for the Jellie
Park Pool.
Their skilled workshop team builds
ducting components, and these can be
supplied from stock, or made to customer
specifications. With the purchase of a
new building in Christchurch, which is
dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth-
Air have recently more than doubled
their manufacturing capacity. Along
with their Auckland
and Wellington
workshops, Smooth-
Air’s workshop floor
space now totals nearly
3000sqm, and of the 80
staff nationwide, 30 are
dedicated workshop
staff members.
Engineering manager
Mike Nash oversees all
three workshops.
“As suppliers to
customers in all areas of
New Zealand, we pride
ourselves in doing the
job right first time.” Mike says.
“With manufacturing capability in
Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington
we are able to share workload across
locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse,
providing a flexibility to our
customers and reliability of supply by
cross-utilisation of resources.
“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide
a one-stop solution to all our customers
in the HVAC industry. As well as our
manufacturing prowess, we also have the
ability to source items from a wide range of
suppliers both locally and internationally.”
A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s
head office is Christchurch, with branches
located in Auckland and Wellington.
Their temporary Christchurch premises
are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just
round the corner from their original
Annex Rd site.
