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

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

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

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

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

10min 1.53sec, and this year he<br />
managed to shave almost 1min<br />
off that, clocking in at 9min<br />

Year 12 student Oliver<br />
Beresford recorded the school’s<br />

39.92m, beating the old 37.39m<br />
distance, held by former UC<br />

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

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

residents<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Kilday said the company<br />
had “completely thrown their<br />
neighbourhood and community<br />

A Fulton Hogan spokesman<br />
said if resource consent is<br />
granted for the quarry “it<br />

He said the company was<br />

“We intend to work<br />
collaboratively with the<br />
community and local authorities<br />
to position our quarry entrance<br />
so that the majority of truck<br />
movements will access and exit<br />
via State Highway 1, rather than<br />
using local roads,” he said.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

Device to prevent<br />
snoring<br />
Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />

Snores for 22 years<br />
and has had a 98%<br />
success rate with<br />
people using the<br />

can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />

Your liver affects your hormones, mood, energy, & overall health. Unfortunately for most of us the liver is<br />
underperforming. Some of the common symptoms can be tiredness, weakness, confusion, skin spots &<br />
lumps, rashes, hormonal in-balance, dark circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration of the whites of the<br />
eyes to name a few. Luckily liver function can generally be improved with diet,<br />
lifestyle changes & nutritional support.<br />

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

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

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

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

imaginable.<br />

art of a cappella everywhere. ey are the<br />
