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.

AS YOU’LL read on page 1, a week or so ago, the Taylor family had an eventful Sunday night when police didn’t show up after a driver crashed into their fence. The family was told police were delayed with other high priority jobs but after they took the matter into their own hands, police didn’t follow the incident up.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday March 20 2018 3 News Stormwater storage facilities boosted Keith 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 coming down from the Port Hills into Hoon Hay Valley Stream. There is less vegetation UPGRADE: Stage one of the Eastman Wetlands is part of the city’s new $40 million stormwater facilities. on the hills following last year’s fires, worsening the sediment problem. Work on dredging a 700m stretch of the Heathcote River between Radley St and the Woolston Cut is also being brought forward to help reduce the flood risk. Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk POOL VISITOR INCREASE Warm temperatures have led to an increase in visitor numbers at Waltham Pool. From November to February, 54,648 visitors were recorded at the pool, an increase from the 37,232 swimmers in the 2016/17 summer. Te Hapua: Halswell Pool also made a big splash over summer, recording 51,773 visitors, compared with 37,657 the previous season. NEW LINWOOD SHOPS In conjunction with Greening the Rubble and Te Whare Roimata, the city council is developing a Stanmore Rd site which will host up to seven small shops in Linwood Village. The shops will be available free for charge to the local community, encouraging small-scale businesses, arts and crafts, and music and creative groups to set up at the site. HISTORY BOOK LAUNCH The Addington Neighbourhood Association will launch its history book on June 25. The launch is likely to be held at St Mary’s Church in Church Square. Written by John Wilson, the book is being supported by the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board discretionary response budget.
