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 />

from the editor’s desk<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 />

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 />

managed to shave almost 1min<br />

Year 12 student Oliver<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 />

truck movements.”<br />

He said the company was<br />

concerns about more truck<br />

movements.<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 />

for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />

provided.<br />

Denise Lim has been involved with<br />

Snores for 22 years<br />

and has had a 98%<br />

success rate with<br />

people using the<br />

appliance. Snoring<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 />

SENIOR LIVING<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 />

KING’S SINGERS ‘GOLD’<br />

IN 1968, the original six King's Singers came<br />

together through their shared love of singing<br />

and quickly became world renowned for their<br />

mesmerising performances. Celebrating their 50<br />

Year Anniversary, they are touring with<br />

performances across New Zealand. e King's<br />

Singers chart their journey through the music -<br />

a breath-taking repertoire that has evolved to<br />

become one of the most diverse and compelling<br />

imaginable.<br />
