Family
asked to
detain
man who
crashed
into their
fence
• By Emily O’Connell
A HALSWELL family was told
by police to detain a driver who
crashed into the fence at their
property until they could free up
resources.
Julia and Mat Taylor were
watching television with their
newborn baby fast asleep when
they heard a loud noise outside.
A neighbour who went to see
what happened walked the driver
from his vehicle back to the
Taylors house.
When she called 111, Mrs
Taylor was informed there would
be a delay because police had a
number of high priority call-outs,
such as family violence incidents,
suicide attempts, a mental health
incident, and reports of fighting.
Mrs Taylor said the 111 operator
asked them to keep the man
at their property for as long as
possible until police could get
there.
A police spokeswoman said
they gave this advice as police
were very busy.

Stormwater storage facilities boosted

WORK WILL soon begin on
boosting stormwater storage in
Hendersons Basin to reduce the
flood risk along the Heathcote
River.
The land drainage facility in
Halswell – in farmland bounded
by Sparks Rd,
Hendersons Rd,
Cashmere Rd and
Sutherlands Rd –
will also improve
water quality by
treating stormwater
runoff in the
area.
The additional
Davison
storage is part of the new $40
million Eastman/Sutherlands/
Hoon Hay stormwater facilities.
It is one of four major storage
projects the city council is
building to store floodwater
during a storm, and then
gradually release the water
after levels have dropped
downstream.
Under the Land Drainage Recovery
Programme, these basins
will help protect flood-prone
homes in Heathcote.
The total additional storage
added will be able to hold
800,000 cu m of water.
The four basins should reduce
the risk of above-floor flooding
for more than 100 Heathcote
properties in a one-in-50-year
storm.
“Storm water runoff contains
pollutants – such as heavy metal
and sediment – that can harm
the city’s aquatic life,” city council
land drainage manager Keith
Davison said.
“However, the runoff can be
targeted with treatment basins
and wetlands, cutting the impact
of urban and rural development
on water quality.”
The new facility will also
treat the increased sediment

Hills into Hoon Hay Valley
Stream. There is less vegetation

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!!

Summit Rd night-time
restrictions likely to fail
A BID to restrict vehicles
on Summit Rd at night to
prevent boy racing and
anti-social behaviour is
likely to fail.
The city council will
consider a staff recommendation
against banning
vehicles from the Port
Hills area between 10pm
and 5am at its meeting on
Thursday.
After reports of vandalism,
fire, loitering and
littering, the city council
carried out public consultation
last year on a
proposal to restrict vehicle
access to parts of the Port
Hills road in a bid to
protect the isolated and
ecologically sensitive area.
The restriction was proposed
for a stretch of Summit
Rd from Rapaki Rd
to Gebbies Pass Rd, and
Worsleys Rd from Summit
Rd to Worsleys Track,
between 10pm and 5am on
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday and on public
holidays. Local residents
would be exempt.
However, a hearings
panel report, which will
go before city councillors
at Thursday’s meeting,
recommends the city
council not go ahead with
the proposal.
The panel considered
all submissions, including
those presented by police
and the Summit Road Protection
Authority, along
with a city council staff report
which recommended
the restrictions should not
be approved.
The panel agreed with
city council staff, saying
the proposal would be difficult
to enforce.
The report said it could
end up shifting anti-social
behaviour to other areas
where it might present a
greater risk to the public.
It would also restrict the
freedom of law-abiding,

Summit Rd.”
Instead the panel,
which was chaired by city
councillor David East,
has called for the Port
Hills Management Plan
to be fast-tracked, saying
it could help address
concerns at Summit Rd
and other roads in the
area.
The report also suggests
the city council consider
both lowering the speed
limit on Summit Rd and
introducing a mechanism
– such as number plate
recognition technology –
which would potentially
identify drivers for crime
prevention purposes.
It notes that police are
willing to assist with measures
to curb anti-social
behaviour.
The panel report also
requests a joint briefing on
the issue be held as soon
as possible for all local
community boards and
investigation into lowering
the speed limit in the area.

Licence fails the test of time
• By Julia Evans
WHEN SHE was pulled over
on Gloucester St for speeding,
Esther Dodds presented
Constable Kurt Davison with
her driver’s licence.
What the 71-year-old St Martins
resident didn’t realise was
the licence, a black motor vehicle
book, hadn’t been valid for the
better part of four decades.
“I’ve never been more confused
in my life. I didn’t know
you had to have a photo on your
licence nowadays,” she said.
After driving Mrs Dodds
home, Constable Davison approached
his colleague, Senior
Constable Robyn Pewhairangi
with a “challenge.”
She met Mrs Dodds weekly
to help her study the road
rules as part of a five-week
programme that helps people
get their licence – though it is
largely targeted at younger drivers.
“Esther studied hard beyond
what was asked of her,” Senior
Constable Pewhairangi said.
She said “empowering” people
by helping them get their licence
makes the road safer, reduces
death and serious injury.
“I wish I’d been caught sooner.
It was the best thing that’s happened
to me,” Mrs Dodds said.
When she passed the test, she
was met with a “huge hug” from
her tutor.
“I didn’t think they’d let us go
for our licence at our age. My
husband always said I was too
old and that stuck in my head,”
she said.
“But it’s helped me get my
confidence back . . . it’s given me
a sense of freedom.”
Now Mrs Dodds has set
herself a goal to visit her son and
grandchildren in Otira.
“When I get my full licence
I’m going to pack up the cat and
the dog and drive to the West
Coast,” she said.
She is also inspiring other

“If I can help other older people
get their licence, that would
be great. Hopefully, they’ll read
this and think, I’m going to go
and get the thing. Robyn told

already. That made me so

The Tattooist of Auschwitz
by Heather Morris
The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist
and the woman he loved.
Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies man. He is also a Jew.
On the first transport from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately
stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked
out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tetovierer “the tattooist”
to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita,
who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does
his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good.
This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author
Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-
Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating,
and unforgettable.

The Shepherd’s Hut
by Tim Winton
Jaxie dreads going home. His mum’s dead. The old man bashes him without
mercy, and he wishes he was an orphan. But no one’s ever told Jaxie
Clackton to be careful what he wishes for. In one terrible moment his life is
stripped to little more than what he can carry and how he can keep himself
alive.
There’s just one person left in the world who understands him and what he
still dares to hope for. But to reach her he’ll have to cross the vast saltlands
on a trek that only a dreamer or a fugitive would attempt.
The Shepherd’s Hut is a searing look at what it takes to keep
love and hope alive in a parched and brutal world.
Aging for Beginners
by doug Wilson
The world we know has changed dramatically and what the future might look
like is harder and harder to assess. For those entering the twilight years, this
uncertainty is ever more challenging to navigate. Dr Wilson’s book follows a
set of main principles and navigates a myriad of challenges that may be
difficult for the aging population to face.
The books establishes the following guidelines:
• Assess how you are – your medical;
• Assess your finances;
• Adapt to that – change this, change that, do this, do that – improve your lot.
Go ahead and do that because it’s your life;
• Accept what you have and what cards you have been dealt.
Health, Dr Wilson says, is the factor that needs major consideration. In his
book he discusses the importance of accessing the best possible information
about both physical and mental health.

“did everything right” as the
driver had willingly given her his
keys.

Cahill said the front line is
stretched but it is “hopeful the
pressure will be alleviated by the
increased police the Government
has promised.”
Minister of Police Stuart
Nash said he is committed to
supporting police with what
they need “to recruit and train
and deploy 1800 new police over
three years.”
The incident didn’t come as a
surprise to the Taylors.
Mrs Taylor said they had been
“expecting” something to happen
ever since moving to Ensign St in
late 2016.
She said cars do burn-outs and
drive at speed on the street “most
nights.”
Mrs Taylor believes speed
bumps would solve the issue.

Board games
for MP with
church group
THE OPAWA Community
Church Kafe group were
given the opportunity to
challenge their MP to a game
of Chinese checkers and snakes
and ladders.
Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson
visited the group on
Wednesday.
The group formed after
recognising a growing issue
of isolation and loneliness for
seniors living independently in
the area.
Pastor Andrew Doubleday
and a group of the volunteers
have opened the church every
Wednesday afternoon to
accommodate the group.
Volunteer Karen Whitla
said: “Great conversation,
music, games and guest
speakers, over cake and coffee,
is the focus around the Kafe.
Mobility is a problem for many
elderly in the area. Currently
Mr Doubleday is in the process
of organising a mini-bus to do
pick-ups on the southern side of
the city.”
She encourages anyone in the
community who would like to
join the group to phone her on
980 4429.
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 Woolston Post Shop
& Dairy (next door) 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.

Aidanfield wins literature quiz
AIDANFIELD Christian
School took the top spot in the
Canterbury heats of the Kids’
Lit Quiz championships on
Wednesday.
The competition is an annual
international literature quiz for
pupils aged 10-13-years-old.
It aims to encourage children
to read for pleasure, widening
the breadth of their reading and
knowledge.
Aidanfield Christian School
english teacher and quiz coach
Karen Strijbis said the winning
team of Cole, Josie, Jack and
Jasper had been training for the
competition for six weeks.
“They are overwhelmed at the
result, especially as we beat over
60 other Christchurch schools
who competed exceptionally
well,” she said.
Mrs Strijbis said the pupils’
prize of $500 will cover flights to
the national final in Wellington
on June 10.
Villa Maria College, Kirkwood
Intermediate, Cobham
Intermediate, Avonhead School,
Westburn School, Roydvale
School and Yaldhurst Model
School also competed in the
heats.
Christchurch South Intermediate
School’s team finished
second and will be joining the
Aidanfield Christian School in
the national final.
There they will compete for
a place in the world final in
Auckland in July, where the
New Zealand team will compete
against teams from nine other
countries.
St Margaret’s College finished
third in the Canterbury heats.
The quiz, which is a Kiwi
initiative, was founded in New
Zealand 27 years ago by quizmaster
Wayne Mills, and is now
held in 13 counties.
Mr Mills said pupils train for
months for “the sport of reading”.
“The kids spend months
preparing for the quiz, just as
athletes train for a sports event.
ACHIEVEMENT:
Aidanfield
Christian School
pupils Cole,
Josie, Jack and
Jasper with
quizmaster
Wayne Mills.
TEAMS: More
than 60 schools
from across
Canterbury
competed in
the Kids’ Lit
Quiz at Cobham
Intermediate
School on
Wednesday.
We don’t have prescribed texts
or reading lists, so competitors
must simply read widely in the
children and young adult categories,”
he said. The Kids’ Lit
Quiz is a not-for-profit organisation
which is run and managed
exclusively by volunteers.

Ceremony

Knights
Stream
HALSWELL’S newest primary
school – Knights Stream School
– celebrated the start of its
construction with a sod turning
ceremony.
The school, on the corner of
Richmond and Killarney Aves,
will open in February.
Initially, it will cater for up to
450 pupils from years 0-8. Stage
two of the school will cater for
up to 700 pupils.
Principal Mike Molloy said the
school has also been gifted the
name Mingimingi Hautoa.
The school’s board of trustees
is made up of chairman Warren
Read, deputy chairwoman Sarah
Lowe, Amanda Wall, Giarne
Harrison and Rodney King.
Mr Molloy said the culture the
board has “already established
is phenomenal.” Alongside the
board of trustees, Mr Molloy is
planning a community event
to be held close to the proposed
school site in early April.

Principal’s Report
NCEA Excellence @ Level 1 Art
Kia ora koutou.
Talofa. Kia Orana.
Malo e lelei. Bula.
Fakaalofa atu.
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:
Cory Aberhart, J C Aguilar, Ethan Alderley, April Anderson-Hill, Jessa Arcayera, Kane
Arps, Analea Cavanagh, Jecus Culanag, Mario Cvetkoski, Danae Ganela, Desiree Garner,
Serena Gerrard, Orlando Saul Goxhaj, Jeikob Hart-Floyd, Paigan-Lilly Hall, Dallas Keating,

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.

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.

and there is ample parking. To enquire

Contemporary designs to style your home
At Bolt of Cloth, they make it fun and easy
to make your house your home. A New
Zealand family-owned business, Bolt of
Cloth was started in Christchurch in 2009,
with the owners wanting to bring something
different to the city. The initial idea was
to make unique,
contemporary
designer fabrics
available direct to
the public.
Two years later,
they were nearly
taken out by the
Christchurch
earthquakes of
2011, and the loss of their
premises meant they had to
start again almost from scratch.
However, those difficult times
helped to shape the colourful
and inventive business they
have today.
They stock a
huge range of
contemporary home
furnishings, quilting/
dressmaking fabrics,
giftware and canvases.
You can even design
your own cushions,
curtains, lampshades
or squabs. A friendly team is always on hand
to give you
as much or as little interior design advice as
you need.
Using their custom-made curtains, blinds,
venetians and shutters you can revamp your
home to suit your individual taste, with the
interior design team offering free at-home
and in-store consultations to help with all
your window treatment needs.
Bolt of Cloth employs a team of local
craftspeople, handmaking many of
their products here in New Zealand.
Supporting local artists and designers,
they run a textile design competition
every year. Any New Zealand resident
can enter and
the winning
designs are
then used to
create a limited
edition cushion
collection.
They bring
in unique
homewares
from around
the world, including Finnish design brand
Marimekko, which is known for its iconic
prints and colour.
When you visit a Bolt of Cloth store you will
be blown away by the bright and colourful
atmosphere, and delighted by the beautiful
range of products.

Gymnast, 9, for NZ team
• By Andrew King
HALSWELL’S Flynn
Gunther only started
competing in trampoline
12 months ago and now
he is the youngest member
selected in a New Zealand
team heading to compete
in Australia in May.
The 9-year-old first took
up the sport 18 months ago
his father, Tim, said but he
has really taken a liking to
it and is quite good at it.
“He had to set a
qualifying score at a
competition in Rotorua a
few weeks ago, or here in
Christchurch on March
10-11. His score in Rotorua
was not good enough but
he did the business here in
Christchurch,” he said.
Then there was a
nervous wait for the
team selection for the
Australian Gymnastics
Championships which was
confirmed on Friday night.
“He was exhausted and
thrilled at the same time,”
Mr Gunther said.
He has gymnastics flowing
through his blood with his
mother, Nadia, a former
New Zealand representative
in artistic gymnastics when
she was 16.
Flynn will be ticking off
a few firsts this year, after
taking his first domestic
plane flight to compete in
Rotorua, he will now take
his first ever international
flight with the New
Zealand team.
The Seven Oaks Primary
School student trains
with Olympia Gymnastic
Sports in Wigram which
also has 10-year-old twins
Thomas and Lachlan Fisher
competing in the same
event as Flynn.

Hair cutting specialist
with a family focus
As with any professional skill, experience
counts when it comes to hair cutting, and
that’s where Louise Holdern of Elite Hair
Cuts fits the bill perfectly.
Louise owns and operates this familyoriented
business in Barrington Street, and
with 33 years in the industry in Christchurch,
she has established a strong reputation for
quality and service.
“I have whole families coming to
me for their hair cuts,” Louise
says. “It starts with the
mother, and she will say
that now she’s found a
good hairdresser, she
doesn’t want me to
go, so she sends her
husband, and
then the children
come too.”
As a
grandmother,
Louise is
especially fond
of toddlers and young
children, and enjoys it
when they are brought
to the salon.
“I love spending some time with them and
settling them down,” she says.
Louise also believes it’s beneficial for
young children to watch their parents or
caregiver having a hair cut, so they can see
it’s not a scary process and therefore won’t be
anxious when it’s their turn.
The other aspect of Elite Hair Cuts services
is hair colouring. For this they use
the top-of-the-range Luminart
Professional Colour Cream;
however, clients are also
welcome to bring in their
own colour product,
which Louise will
apply at a cost of $20.
Having colour
applied is not the
most glamorous
procedure, so for
clients who would
like privacy for
that, Elite has a
separate room
with a blind on the
window, where they
can have their colour applied then relax with
a tea or coffee and a magazine in a completely
private space.
Elite Hair Cuts has been closed for a few
days, but will re-open this Wednesday, March
28. Also, the Thursday late night closing time
has changed to 6pm for the winter months.
To book an appointment for a cut or colour,
phone 022 689 0528, or walk in for a hair
cut any time. Opening hours are Monday to
Friday 9am-5pm, with late night Thursday
till 6pm, Saturday 9.30am-12.30pm. Closed
Sunday.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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
range of fans and ventilation components

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
