Vandalism, 

drug-dealing 

in Aranui 

prompts 

community 

trust to 

take action 

• By Sophie Cornish 

A GROUP of about 10-12 youths 

have vandalised a part of Aranui, 

causing damage to businesses and 

homes and driving up insurance 

costs. 

More than 50 broken windows 

at the old Aranui Primary 

School, tagging and drug-dealing 

are some of the “significant 

challenges” in the area which have 

led community group, Families 

for Life Trust, to take on its own 

safety and security measures. 

The trust has approached the 

city council about acquiring a 

site it owns on Breezes Rd, with 

the intention of developing it 

to minimise the anti-social 

behaviour it attracts, said trustee 

Kerry Rutherford. 

Sergeant Jim Currie of New 

Brighton police said “quite a few 

files” had come through about 

incidents in the Breezes and Pages 

Rds corner area. 

“There’s has been a group of 

youths going around throwing 

stones and smashing windows,” 

he said.

ASSAULT VICTIM Erica Godfrey will not be giving up on her 

bid to improve safety at New Brighton’s Thomson Park. 

She is again calling for lighting and cameras at the skate park 

on Marine Pde to deter troublemakers (see page 3). 

She wants them installed as part of a city council plan to 

upgrade the car park. She and her son were victims of bullying 

at the park last month. 

The upcoming improvements to the car park may see safety 

measures increased.

Your brain is made up of over 60% 

fatty acids and in particular mainly 

DHA fatty acids. It has been shown 

people with the lowest amount of DHA 

have smaller brains and do worse on 

tests of brain function. DHA is the 

main nutrient required for your brain 

to grow and function efficiently and 

correctly. It allows the brain to renew 

and rejuvenate itself. Studies have shown 

when DHA levels increase in the brain 

its function also improves leading to a 

better memory and cleared thinking. 

One study of 430 seniors who were 

supplemented with DHA over 24 weeks 

showed their memory and cognitive 

function to almost double at the end of 

the study. This shows how important 

DHA is to a healthy brain. Other studies 

have shown the brain is able to grow in 

size and repair itself at any age when the 

right conditions are available. 

A new superfood for the brain has been 

found. Calamari is a highly potent source 

of DHA and is now available in an easy to 

swallow capsule. It offers 4X more DHA 

than standard fish oil but still offers a 

good amount of EPA fatty acids that are

Car park plan may address safety 

Assault victim 

hopes cameras 

part of upgrade 


SAFETY concerns around New 

Brighton’s Thomson Park will 

soon be addressed as part of a 

car park improvement project. 

The concerns were raised 

following an assault at the skate 

park on a South New Brighton 

woman last month. 

Erica Godfrey was left badly 

bruised after confronting a 

youth who threatened her 

autistic son. The offender was 

referred to Youth Aid. 

City council will present 

a draft plan of the car park 

project to the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board on April 3. 

The community board has set 

aside about $100,000 to upgrade 

the car park, which will include 

improving the surface and 

sealing it to minimise dust. 

Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board chairwoman 

Kim Money said city council 

staff have been working on 

the park’s landscaping and car 

park plan with community 

groups that use the area and

“We thought while we are 

doing this we might as well do 

it all together, or at least have a 

plan for it,” she said. 

“I’m really keen to get this 

done as soon as possible . . . I’m 

looking forward to seeing the 

plan,” said Ms Money. 

Mrs Godfrey made a 

deputation to the community 

board last month asking that 

safety at the park be improved, 

including installing security 

cameras. 

City council manager regional 

parks Kay Holder said staff 

will aim to address the safety 

concerns through the plan using 

the CPED principles. 

However, she said it was 

too early to confirm whether 

cameras would be included in 

‘I’m really worried that . . . 

it’s a token gesture. If they 

can do it (install cameras 

and lights) at the Margaret 

Mahy park and the New 

Brighton whale park, 

why can’t they do it at 

Thomson Park?’

the plan. 

The plan may involve 

removing plants, trees and 

shrubbery from the park 

boundaries so there is a better 

view into the park from the 

road. 

Mrs Godfrey said although 

removing trees and shrubs 

would be a small step, there 

needs to be lights and cameras 

installed to make it safe. 

She is concerned the city 

council may be “brushing off” 

the matter by only removing 

shrubbery. 

“I’m really worried that that 

is what they might be doing, 

that it’s a token gesture,” Mrs 

Godfrey said.

cameras and lights) at the

ESTUARY TREE REPORT 

The city council will carry out a 

full health and safety report on 

the trees along the South New 

Brighton Domain estuary edge. It 

comes after the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board sent a letter 

to the city council expressing its 

concern over the removal of seven 

trees at Rawhiti Domain while 

more than 30 trees at risk of falling 

remain on the estuary edge.

A documentary about New

November, Pegasus Post reported 

the film called A Generation Lost 

would be finished by the end of 

summer. However, producer Todd 

Gibson said he will aim to have 

the documentary ready for the 

end of next summer. The film will 

look at New Brighton’s history and 

include interviews from surfers, 

skateboarders and musicians.

Namaste and 

Kumusta. Greetings 

to the Linwood 

Community. 

I am very pleased to 

be able to report to 

the community that 2018 has begun well for 

the school. This page shows the wide range 

of positive activity that we would expect in a 

busy, thriving secondary school. 

Our 2018 school year has begun with an 

increased school roll, considerably so. This 

has resulted in some timetabling challenges 

and prompt action to appoint further staff. 

Thank you to the students and staff as they 

manoeuvre their way round some crowded 

classrooms. 

2018 also starts with the first full year of our 

being in two Kāhui Ako-Communities of 

Learning, Tamai – Linwood-Woolston, and 

Aupaki – the Bays, Heathcote and Lyttleton. 

I have written about Kāhui Ako previously. 

They are schools collaborating to ensure that 

the student is at the centre of all activity but 

not just in the individual school the student is 

in at the time, but as the student progresses 

from early childhood centres through their 

schooling to tertiary and the workplace. 

Effective schools and communities have 

been doing this for decades, of course, so it 

Festival of Nations 2018 

Last month, Linwood College was once 

again on show - in all its glory. The ‘Festival 

of Nations,’ one day event, celebrated the 

breadth and richness of cultural heritage 

amongst our students. With initial speeches 

and a flag parade attended by local MPs, 

Poto Williams, Dr Duncan Webb and Ruth 

Dyson, the College’s sports' field was 

transformed into a vibrant cultural throng of 

colour and enthusiasm. 

The festival concluded with a Cultural 

Evening, a night of spectacular 

entertainment, with music and dance 

performances by students from around the 

world. 

is good to have this part of official national 

education policy. 

As we know, 2018 is our last full year in the 

old LHS/LC school buildings. In mid-year 

2019, Term 2, Linwood College will shift 

off-site for the duration of our re-build to what 

will be by then the former Avonside GHS 

site. This is a very good thing for us all as we 

will not have to live in the middle of a major 

building site for what would have been three 

years. It takes a year off the building timeline, 

from the three years to under two, and this 

means a saving of one million dollars. This 

saved money does not leave the budget so 

we can use as we see fit. 

Our community consultation about the new 

Linwood College has given us clear direction 

and everything that we do is based on this. 

We all agree that it is true that buildings 

alone do not necessarily improve education 

– the relationship with the teacher and the 

personalisation of learning are the two key 

factors for this – but there is also no doubt 

that new, purpose-built buildings and spaces 

can contribute hugely to these two factors. It 

is Linwood College’s turn. 

Finally, I am always keen to meet people, so 

if any member of the community wishes to 

talk to me about anything, please contact the 

office to arrange a time for this to occur. My 

door is open.

Mathematics Success 

We are very proud of Jeremy 

Kyle who received an 

‘Excellence’ grade for his NCEA 

Level 1 external portfolio. His 

body of work had been part of 

a year long project around the 

theme, ‘My connection with the 

world around me.’ Students were 

able to interpret this theme into 

their own context. 

We are proud to congratulate the following students who excelled in their work and achieved 

the 10 Numeracy credits required for NCEA as Year 10 students in 2017. They are:

Coast to Coast Champions 

Last month six of our Linwood College students: 

Emmaline Stott, Finn Pierce, Julian Lui, Mapu 

Uasi, Kyle Amer and Moahengi Ngauamo 

competed as the 'Coast-to-Coast Rangers' in the 

annual Coast-to-Coast race. 

This intensely challenging race started on the 

West Coast's Kumara Beach and finished on the 

East Coast at New Brighton Beach. 

What an amazing accomplishment it was for 

them all to get across the finish line after just six 

months of tough training! 

We would like to thank all who supported our 

team including LC students Aaron Skow, Tane Bradshaw and Alisha Ungerboeck as well as 

Jess de Bont and Matt Mark who instigated this amazing experience for the Rangers! 

As a past participant, Jess de Bont said, “I'm blown away by these teens. They have pushed 

themselves more than many people will in a lifetime and have shown such respect for each 

other and for us coaches. They totally inspire me."

Star Activities Day 

In early February all Year 9 classes attended an exciting 

activity day at The Groynes. 

Students participated in team building activities and 

climbed high ropes testing their courage to take on new 

challenges. It was great to see the students working 

together as they got to know one another. 

Chilling 

This term Level 2 Science students visited the 

Antarctic Centre to experience survival in an 

extreme environment and to explore how organisms 

are able to survive in the extreme cold. 

After huddling like Blue Penguins in the chilling 

‘Cold Room’ (with a wind-chill factor of -18°C), we 

were then escorted to see some real-life rescued 

Blue Penguins in action during feeding-time. 

To end our adventure, we were introduced to some 

very well-trained Siberian Huskies, during which 

time we were told about these special dogs that can 

survive in such raw weather.

Personal experience 

behind community 

walking group idea 


A NEW Brighton man is 

organising a walking group for 

people with disabilities which he 

hopes will transform lives. 

The group is set to meet tonight 

for the first time at the Old School 

on Seaview Rd. 

Organiser Massey 

Rangi (left) was 

inspired to form 

the group after 

spending many 

years as a “recluse”, 

he said, following 

his cerebral palsy diagnoses. 

Mr Rangi is getting the 

initiative off the ground as part 

of his field work for a national 

diploma in social services at Te 

Runanga O Nga Maata Waka 

in Aranui. The agency is an 

approved community services 

provider. 

The walking group is for anyone 

with accessibility issues, and 

Mr Rangi hopes it will get people 

out in the community, lift their 

self-esteem and confidence. 

“If you want to just come for a 

walk, or perhaps elderly that fear 

going out by themselves, they can 

contact us and we can help them.” 

“We can relate to each 

other and build relationships and 

friendships,” he said. 

Mr Rangi loved playing sport 

in his youth, but his diagnoses in 

his 30s affected his mobility. 

“I’ve wasted the best part of 

my years being a recluse, I’ve 

got that life experience. If I can 

help someone 10 years, 20 years 

younger than myself, then I will 

feel like I’ve done something.” 

Now 44, Mr Rangi believes 

there is interest in the walking 

group within the community. 

“After talking to a lot of people, 

there is a niche for it when really 

there shouldn’t have been, it 

should have been covered.”

clubs across the South Island. 

The rules required each club 

to present four wines and three 

beers to be tested by those 

attending the competition. The 

wines included a dry and a sweet 

white wine, and a dry and a 

sweet red wine. 

There is no restriction on the 

ingredients, which can range 

from fruit to flowers, vegetables 

and herbs. The beer classes 

include lager, ale and stout.

Bid to deter vandals, drug-dealing 

•From page 1 

The trust, along with 

PTL Property Trust, want 

to seal the site next to St 

Ambrose Anglican Church 

to create a car park, 

install lighting and 

ensure it can be 

locked at night. 

“It’s a hang-out 

site, we would like 

to have it secured

He said there is a group 

of offenders some as

“More than 50 windows 

have been smashed at 

Aranui Primary School, 

vandalism to the Mobil

broken windows 

and vandalism to 

the supermarket and 

retail food shops, kids 

climbing on roofs and 

throwing stones are 

some of the problems.”

there was not a lot police

Veterinary practice 

A DAY IN THE LIFE 

OF MICHELE... 

One of my earliest memories 

at four, had me dreaming one 

day about saving animals 

lives and thankfully my best 

dream came true. In fact it 

was cultivated by my parents 

and veterinarian Dave 

Marshall (my dad’s friend), 

who let me see Practice with 

him in Worchester street as 

a little girl every holidays. My 

parents moved onto some 

land when I was young 

basically so I could have a 

horse and be surrounded by 

animals, which I was. I would 

never want to do anything 

else, but sometimes my 

job is tough, mentally and 

physically and you think 

about your patients 24/7. It’s 

just the way it is for me and I 

honestly wouldn’t want Kyza 

to be any different. 

The last couple of 

weeks has seen some 

real highs and lows for 

me. All part of my role 

as a vet, but I thought 

I’d let you in on a 

snippet of my life. 

Today I laid to rest 

“Kyza”, at his home in 

the Cashmere hills. Kyza 

had been a frequent 

flyer of mine since I first vaccinated him in 

August 2006 as a delightful, bouncy, super 

cute little puppy. So for 12 years I’ve had a 

close relationship with Kyza’s parents and 

the man himself. To say he’s not been high 

maintenance nor costly would be lying, but 

when you meet this magnificent, funny, 

gentle Boxer up close face to face, it’s not 

hard to see why his family have given him 

every opportunity for the “best’ life possible. 

Kyza had undergone the scapel many times 

– knee surgery, lump removals, castration 

later in life, three operations to remove 

urethral and bladder stones, grass seed 

foreign bodies but what took the quality 

from his life in the end was Congestive 

Heart Failure, which he’d been battling for 

a while. No matter what his visit was for, 

he let me do anything I wanted as long as 

liver treats and pats were part of the deal. 

He knew my voice and would watch me 

from the waiting room ready for his name 

to be called. Right up until the end he was 

incredibly stoic, trusting, clever (he had a 

real knack of clamping his jaw as to avoid 

more medications) and he still tried so 

hard to please the humans he loved. He 

was a legend and I know he’ll be greatly 

missed, least of all by me. Today was lovely 

as it should be. It was a 28 degree warm 

summer’s day and Kyza was lying on the 

lawn peacefully and close by were the 

people he adored. He slipped off to sleep so 

effortlessly and easily and believe it or not 

he wagged his tail one last time as the drug 

was being administered, 

as if to say, “THANKS guys, 

I’ve had a blast! 

He wasn’t scared, he 

looked safe and at peace. 

As I popped him to sleep, 

tears welled in my eyes. 

26 years of practising 

and sending animals off 

into the next life, doesn’t 

make me immune to 

feeling sad at saying 

goodbye to a true friend, 

a patient I’ll not see again 

nor have the privilege 

of helping. My last act of 

kindness and compassion 

is to end their suffering 

and discomfort and to 

make those last moments 

of life as kind and 

respectful as I can for the 

animal that has trusted in 

my care all of its life. 

On a high note, another fabulous 

K9 “Charlie” a 7 year old golden 

Cocker Spaniel, escaped death 

which almost seemed inevitable 

a few weeks ago. Charlie came as 

a second opinion and was a very 

sick dog with a gloomy future. 

He had refused to eat for over 2 

weeks, had chronic pneumonia, 

kidney failure and white blood 

cells higher than I’ve ever seen in 

a dog in 26 years of practising. Our 10/10+ 

team of vets and nurses worked tirelessly 

and lovingly, often out of hours, on Charlie 

and we got to the bottom of his disease, 

started the correct treatment plan and the 

rest is history. 

Collaboration with canine specialists, lots 

of internet research and special and loving 

owners that wanted to try “everything”, 

gave us time to figure out the pieces to this 

difficult puzzle. 

So as you can see, no two days are the 

same and each day brings with it extreme 

pride and joy occasionally mixed with some 

sadness. 

BUT still being a “VET” is the best job EVER!!

Well read pupils compete 

THREE SCHOOLS from east 

Christchurch competed in the 

world’s biggest literary event for 

children on Wednesday. 

Chisnallwood Intermediate, 

Marshland School and 

Queenspark School competed 

to become the Kids’ Lit Quiz 

champion, with Halswell’s 

Aidanfield Christian School 

winning the title. 

The annual international 

literature quiz for pupils aged 

10-13 encourages children to 

read for pleasure. 

More than 260 pupils competed 

on Wednesday for two 

places in the national final. The 

winning team will compete in 

the national final in Wellington 

in June. 

There they will compete for a 

place in the world final in Auckland 

in July. 

The quiz was founded in New 

Zealand 27 years ago by quizmaster 

Wayne Mills, and is now 

held in 13 countries, including 

Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, 

South Africa, the United 

Kingdom and United States. 

This year Nigeria and Indonesia 

will compete for the first time. 

More than 2000 New Zealand 

pupils in teams of four will take 

part in the event in 16 heats 

across the country. 

Mr Mills said the pupils train 

for “the sport of reading.” 

“The kids spend months 

preparing for the quiz, just as 

athletes train for a sports event. 

We don’t have prescribed texts 

TEAMS: Schools from across Canterbury competed in the 

Kids’ Lit Quiz on Wednesday, the world’s biggest literary 

event for children. 

or reading lists, so competitors 

must simply read widely in 

the children and young adult 

categories,” he said. 

“The questions vary every 

year and can be sourced from 

anything from classic children’s 

literature to the latest best-seller. 

They have to read everything 

that’s been written for kids in 

the last 200 years to be across 

every question.” 

Mr Mills said the pupils 

love that the competition isn’t 

“dumbed down” and gives them 

something to aim for which 

values their reading prowess. 

“We stay up to date with 

technology, too, as kids use 

e-readers as well as print books, 

and train by using the Kids’ Lit 

Quiz app,” Mr Mills said. 

Kids’ Lit Quiz is a not-forprofit 

organisation run and 

managed exclusively by volunteers.

ARANUI 

NOW OPEN LAUNDROMATs 

sELF sERVICE / OPEN 7 DAYs 

A new self-service laundromat has opened at 319 Pages Road, Aranui. 

The New Zealand owned Liquid Self Service Laundromat 

offers the latest smart key payment technology. 

Owner Sarah Sutton says using smart keys is simple and 

fuss free. 

“Simply purchase a reloadable key at Laxmi Foodstore (2 

doors down) for $3, load it with whatever value you choose 

and clip it on your key ring, ready to use whenever you like.” 

Sarah says all services at Liquid Self Service Laundromat 

are very affordable - with washing from $4 and dryers 

from $4 for 25 minutes which will dry up to three loads of 

washing. 

“Plus, by doing all your washing away from home you can 

lower your monthly electricity bills substantially.” 

The eco-friendly washing machines come in 8kg, 18kg and 

28kg sizes - with the large washers ideal for bulky, heavy 

duty items like feather duvets, mink blankets, sports gear 

and curtains. 

“The large and extra-large washers and dryers are ideal for 

families and mothers to save time as they can do all their 

washing and drying for a week in about one hour saving 

water and energy.” 

There are 8 Liquid Self Service Laundromat sites within the 

Christchurch area – Hornby, Woolston, Burwood, Sydenham, 

Richmond, Rangiora, Hoon Hay and Aranui. 

Sites are open from 5am-11pm daily – “and all you need to 

do is top-up your easy-key in normal hours”, says Sarah. 

Smart keys can be used at any of the over 50 Liquid Self 

Service Laundromats nationwide.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment. 

Physical Sense Gym & Physio is located 

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. 

There is a bus stop in front of the door 

and there is ample parking. To enquire

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

How to 

keep your 

brain 

healthy! 

Your brain is made up of over 60% 

fatty acids and in particular mainly 

DHA fatty acids. It has been shown 

people with the lowest amount of DHA 

have smaller brains and do worse on 

tests of brain function. DHA is the 

main nutrient required for your brain 

to grow and function efficiently and 

correctly. It allows the brain to renew 

and rejuvenate itself. Studies have shown 

when DHA levels increase in the brain 

its function also improves leading to a 

better memory and cleared thinking. 

One study of 430 seniors who were 

supplemented with DHA over 24 weeks 

showed their memory and cognitive 

function to almost double at the end of 

the study. This shows how important 

DHA is to a healthy brain. Other studies 

have shown the brain is able to grow in 

size and repair itself at any age when the 

right conditions are available. 

A new superfood for the brain has been 

found. Calamari is a highly potent source 

of DHA and is now available in an easy to 

swallow capsule. It offers 4X more DHA 

than standard fish oil but still offers a 

good amount of EPA fatty acids that are 

essential to help control inflammation 

for joint and cardiovascular health.

The children, aged

kitchen area with bowls 

and foliage such as raupo 

flowers.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or 

a retrofit, most homes include 

at least one heat pump, if not a 

whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are 

much more convenient than a log 

burner as you just need to press a 

button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right 

sized heat pump is key to ensuring 

optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional 

advice from heat pump experts. 

The range varies from wall 

mounted high walls, floor mounted systems, 

multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through 

to ducted central heating systems allowing 

you to have a very discreet way of heating 

your whole home to a constant temperature 

throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is 

suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it is 

important to select 

the correct size for 

Heating is a major 

investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the 

right advice. 

your requirements 

that will handle 

the job but not 

be unnecessarily 

overpowered. 

Secondly, the 

location of your 

heat pump is also extremely important. The 

cheapest installation is a back to back where 

the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind 

the indoor unit however this is not necessarily 

always the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

PEGASUS POST 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to 

consider when 

choosing a heat pump 

are time clocks, ease 

of use of the remote 

controllers, air 

filtration and also wifi 

capabilities.

investment in your home and it is vital to get

HOME & HEATING 

Bathroom ventilation 

The extraction of air from the bathroom 

should be a priority for all houses and 

commercial buildings. 

Bathrooms can generate a large quantity 

of steam and odours. It is important this 

compromised air does not circulate around 

the house. 

Bathroom odours can be unpleasant, especially 

when near living, sleeping or working areas. 

The moisture generated by showers and 

baths can be damaging to your home and 

furnishings and be a major contribution to 

condensation. Damp houses are not a healthy 

environment for anyone to live in, especially 

for children or other vulnerable people. 

By extracting air from the bathroom to 

outside, warmer air from inside the house will 

move in to the bathroom. Whereas opening a 

window can draw cold air into the bathroom 

and blow the smelly, moisture laden bathroom

air into the house. 

Modern houses are built to be very airtight 

and require mechanical ventilation such as 

extraction fans or heat exchanger systems. 

Although older houses can be draughty, the air 

often flows in the wrong direction. Therefore, 

they also usually require mechanical 

ventilation to keep the air quality higher. 

The quality of the air we breathe affects our 

health and ability to perform. We breathe 

in and out approximately 20,000 litres of 

air every day. It is therefore very important 

to ensure good air quality indoors through 

adequate ventilation. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact the 

experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate 

the required extraction for your bathrooms, 

and look into air exchange for your whole 

building. Smooth-Air offers a wide range 

of ventilation equipment, from air vents to 

ducting for fans, for both the commercial and 

domestic markets. They have an extensive

Personalised 

treatment 

for every patient 

At Better Denture in Hornby, the focus is firmly on providing a 

customised service for every individual patient, whether they 

require new or replacement dentures. 

All the dentures are manufactured in-house, which 

gives the small team more control over the process, 

resulting in a personalised approach for everyone, 

owner Chris Castle says. 

Himself an experienced Clinical Dental Technician, 

Chris explains that the materials used at Better 

Denture are of a higher quality than the standard 

denture materials, so patients can be assured their 

dentures will stay looking good and provide longlasting 

service. 

“We also help people with the upkeep of their 

dentures so they get the best from them,” he says. 

The follow-up service is another notable feature of 

Better Denture, with patients’ dentures being checked 

in the few weeks after being fitted to make sure they 

are sitting comfortably, and adjusted if necessary. 

“We are here to look after people and provide them 

with the best-possible service,” Chris says. 

The atmosphere at Better Denture’s bright, spacious 

clinic is friendly and welcoming, and patients are free 

to bring someone with them for support if they wish. 

Anyone needing new or replacement dentures is 

invited to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a Free Consultation and Denture check to discuss 

suitable options. Same-day denture repairs and 

relines are also available. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street, Hornby, Better Denture 

is open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm and Saturday,

What’s On 

Entertainment 

Art Trail inspired 

by local stories 

LOCAL artmakers present their 

works at an exciting Art Trail taking 

place over 5 sites in Wakaroa Pigeon 

Bay on Easter Weekend. 

“e trail was inspired by my 

mum’s stories of growing up in 

Pigeon Bay,” explained artist and 

event orgniser, Keren Oertly. “She 

always spoke of her childhood as a 

time of formation, of connection and 

belonging. I was interested to explore 

these ideas of identity in relation to 

place through my research and work 

towards a Masters in Fine Arts at the 

Ilam School of Fine Art in 2017. e 

community in the Bay was incredibly 

supportive and generous throughout 

this process – none of this would be 

possible without them.” 

Based on stories shared by the Bay 

community and utilising materials from the 

Bay wherever possible, these site-specific 

and audience responsive art works seek to 

celebrate the life and stories of the Bay. e 

main exhibition takes place at the Pigeon 

Bay Hall with additional artworks installed 

along the way from the Summit Rd/Pigeon 

Bay Rd bus shelter, to Knox Church yard, the 

Pigeon Bay Boating Club, and Wakaroa 

Point. 

In conjunction with the Art Trail there is a 

free public programme of workshops
