Orbiter<br />
route<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A DATE has been set for<br />
a meeting between elderly<br />
Mairehau retirees, Ryman<br />
Healthcare staff and Environment<br />
Canterbury bosses over plans to<br />
re-route the Orbiter.<br />
An ECan spokeswoman<br />
confirmed that chief executive Bill<br />
Bayfield, and chairman<br />
Steve Lowndes, will visit Diana<br />
Isaac Retirement Village on May<br />
11.<br />
“In the meantime, ECan staff<br />
are working with Diana Isaac<br />
Retirement Village management<br />
and residents to seek their advice<br />
while developing options,” she<br />
said.<br />
It comes as a group of 80 retirees<br />
presented ECan a petition,<br />
pleading it to reconsider route<br />
changes to the Orbiter that would<br />
see the closest bus stop move<br />
900m away from the village.<br />
“We’re very pleased. We’ve had<br />
a huge response from residents<br />
in the village, staff and others,”<br />
resident and petition organiser<br />
Graham Tate said.<br />

Larger signs to deter sex workers<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
4 2 2 2<br />
SIGNS ALERTING the<br />
public that CCTV cameras<br />
are operational in residential<br />
Manchester St discouraging<br />
street-based sex work will be<br />
made larger to target drivers.<br />
Since late last year, the city<br />
council has been working with<br />
the community, the New Zealand<br />
Prostitutes Collective and<br />
police, to encourage street-based<br />
sex workers to move away from<br />
residential areas after calls from<br />
residents.<br />
As part of that work six large<br />
signs will be installed in the<br />
St Albans area on Manchester<br />
St to alert people that surveillance<br />
cameras are operating,<br />
city council general manager<br />
citizens and community Mary<br />
Richardson said.<br />
A city council report said:<br />
“These signs (750mm x 750mm)<br />
will replace two small existing<br />
signs (375mm x 375mm) that<br />
are only legible to pedestrians.”<br />
The signs will be installed by<br />
May.<br />
Following the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake, and the loss of<br />
the central city a swell of street<br />
workers moved from the central<br />
city part of Manchester St into<br />
St Albans.<br />
Residents have since been battling<br />
to move the street-workers<br />
on for six years after reports of<br />
needles and syringes, human<br />
faeces, used condoms, and<br />
litter around their properties.<br />
Vandalism to houses and cars<br />
has also been reported, as well<br />
as thefts.<br />
“We have also placed an<br />
an extra rubbish bin on the<br />
Manchester St and Aberdeen<br />
St corner, stepped up street<br />
cleaning in the area, and plan to<br />
install a needle disposal unit.’’<br />
Ms Richardson said.<br />
“We will be talking with local<br />

Staff are also investigating<br />
the traffic engineering options<br />
in the residential St Albans<br />
area north of Bealey Ave after<br />
it was proposed preventing<br />
vehicles from turning into the<br />
northbound lane of Manchester<br />

discourage workers.<br />

St. <br />
It comes as the city<br />
council opposed introducing<br />
a by-law banning street<br />
workers from residential areas<br />
last year.<br />
“Rather than resorting to a<br />
bylaw, which could not necessarily<br />
be enforced, we have been<br />
working with agencies and the<br />
community to find other ways<br />
of tacking the issues,’’ Ms Richardson<br />
said.<br />
But recent monitoring shows<br />
only one or two sex workers are<br />
regularly operating in the area<br />
north of Bealey Ave.<br />

Orbiter route meeting with retirees<br />
•From page 1<br />
The Orbiter stop outside the<br />
village’s entrance on Philpotts Rd<br />
would move 900m away to Innes<br />
Rd.<br />
“It’s a terrible thing to impose<br />
on elderly people,” Mr Tate said.<br />
Mr Tate said before the meeting<br />
with Mr Lowndes and Mr<br />
Bayfield, the group would meeting<br />
with ECan staff to discuss options<br />
and investigate alternatives.<br />
“There are a lot of options, we<br />
can see, that would keep the bus<br />
accessible,” he said.<br />
But while Mr Tate said the<br />
group was “very pleased” with<br />
the prospect of a meeting.<br />
“We won’t be counting our<br />
chickens before they hatch.”<br />
The Orbiter currently runs<br />
along QE II Drive, right into<br />
Philpotts Rd and onto Innes Rd.<br />
But the Northern Corridor<br />
work will restrict right hand<br />
turning in and out of Philpotts<br />
Rd.<br />
ECan plans to change the route<br />
so the bus would use Cranford St<br />
then Innes Rd, skipping out the<br />
QE II Drive and Philpotts Rd section<br />
altogether.<br />
Said ECan chairman Steve<br />
Lowndes: “The only viable option<br />
we have for the Orbiter is to reroute<br />
via Cranford St.”<br />
But Mr Tate said the group was<br />
“optimistic” that ECan would<br />
reconsider.<br />
PASSION: Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents are<br />
opposing ECan’s proposed changes to the Orbiter route, which<br />
would move the bus stop 900m further away from the complex.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
“We’re just waiting to see<br />
something concrete and we’ll<br />
be maintaining representation.<br />
We’d certainly be out protesting<br />
again, but we’re hoping it won’t<br />
come down to that,” he said.<br />
ECan plans to implement the<br />
changes later this year.<br />
In a letter to ECan, Ryman<br />
Healthcare chief executive Gordon<br />
MacLeod said the village was<br />
home to more than 600 residents<br />
and 200 staff, and the Orbiter was<br />
a “crucial” form of transport.<br />
St Bede’s College deputy rector<br />
Gerry Davidson wrote a letter<br />
of support for the petition. He<br />
urged ECan to look at alternate<br />
routes.<br />
Mr Lowndes said ECan is<br />
still looking at other means of<br />
continuing the coverage and one<br />
option could include “one in five,<br />
or one in 10” Orbiter buses going<br />
via the village.<br />

the 16-year-old’s biggest victory<br />
to date in what is shaping up to<br />
be a very promising career and<br />
she was unable to take the smile<br />
off her face.<br />
“It definitely feels pretty good,<br />
I’m so happy that I won after<br />
playing solid all week and it’s<br />
easily the biggest win of my<br />
career,” said Hung.<br />
“We have some pretty good<br />
players in Canterbury, including<br />

Call to lower speed limits further<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
HAREWOOD School’s calls for<br />
lower speed limits on its roads<br />
are finally being heard.<br />
But principal Julie Greenwood<br />
said the school would still prefer<br />
limits to be lowered further.<br />
The city council<br />
has opened for<br />
submissions on<br />
a proposal that<br />
would see speed<br />
limits around<br />
Julie<br />
Greenwood<br />
Harewood,<br />
including outside<br />
the school, lowered<br />
to 60km/h.<br />
Parts of Sawyers Arms,<br />
Waimakariri, Harewood, Styx<br />
Mill and Gardiners Rds could all<br />
become 60km/h.<br />
The city council is also proposing<br />
parts of Highstead, Claridges,<br />
Hussey and Harewood<br />
Rd be reduced to 50km/h from<br />
80km/h.<br />
“The proposed speed limit<br />
changes take into account safe<br />
and appropriate speeds in<br />
accordance with the NZTA approved<br />
guides to speed management.<br />
They aim to address the<br />
changing nature of post-quake<br />
north-west Christchurch with its<br />
recent and proposed residential<br />
developments,” a city council<br />
report said.<br />
Ms Greenwood said:” We are<br />
thrilled that the council is consulting<br />
about lowering the speed<br />
limit to 60km/h on Harewood<br />
Rd. We support lowering the<br />
speed and encourage people to<br />
make submissions.”<br />
However, she said the school<br />
would still prefer the limit be<br />
lowered to 50km/h along Harewood<br />
Rd.<br />
“Ten kilometres per hour will<br />
make a positive difference however<br />
making the speed limit<br />
50km/h all along Harewood<br />
Rd would provide consistency<br />
for motorists and make it even<br />
safer.”<br />
Ms Greenwood told the<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> last year that<br />
when many drivers pass the<br />
school, they seem to have a case<br />
of “lead-foot.”<br />
She had been pleading with<br />
the city council to lower the<br />
limit.<br />
Outside pick-up and drop-off<br />
times, the stretch of road in<br />
front of the school is currently<br />
70km/h – though for the last<br />

“The changes seek to mitigate<br />
the effects of increased traffic<br />
flows along previously rural<br />
roads and reduce the risk and<br />
severity of accidents to the residents<br />
and users of these roads,”<br />

reports vehicles had been parking<br />
over a fire hydrant. The board also<br />
approved no stopping restrictions<br />
for the section of the street after<br />
residents expressed concerns that<br />
emergency services would not be<br />
able to access the hydrant in the<br />
event of a fire if a car was parked<br />
on top of it.<br />
HOMEBASE ENTRANCE<br />
Homebase will soon have a<br />
new entrance on Briggs Rd in<br />
a bid to reduce congestion at<br />
the Marshland Rd access. The<br />
city council granted resource<br />
consent for the project and the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />
approved road changes as part of<br />
the consenting process at its last<br />
meeting. These include extended<br />
parking restrictions, a central solid<br />
median island and new signage.<br />
WALKING GROUP<br />
A new walking group has been<br />
established in Papanui. Go along<br />
for a gentle 30min walk and<br />
exercise programme. Wednesdays<br />
at 1.15pm from March 14 to July.<br />
All walks leave from St James<br />
Park, St James Rd (entrance<br />
opposite Dalriada St). Wear<br />
suitable clothing and shoes.<br />

about her<br />
concerns<br />
regarding<br />
Environment<br />
Canterbury’s<br />
proposed bus cuts as part<br />
of its draft Long Term Plan<br />
I am writing in regards to the<br />
termination of the bus route<br />
107 from Northlands Shopping<br />
Centre to Styx Mill as proposed<br />
by Environment Canterbury<br />
along with five other essential<br />
bus routes.<br />
I find the termination of this<br />
bus route and others completely<br />
unnecessary for the following<br />
reasons.<br />
One of the reasons given is low<br />
patronage, however, on Friday,<br />
March 9, I travelled on the 107<br />
bus at 8am and returned at 4pm.<br />
On both services there was<br />
standing room only and 70 per<br />
cent of the people were high<br />
school students for whom this was<br />
their only method of transport<br />
to school. So by terminating this<br />
service ECan will essentially be<br />
preventing children from getting<br />
an education. Yes, these children<br />
could bike or walk to school.<br />
However, what happens if they<br />
have a medical condition that<br />
prevents them from doing this<br />
and is it really healthy to bike in<br />
the middle of winter when it is<br />
pouring with rain or the temperature<br />
is below freezing?<br />
I thought the plan was to get<br />
more people using the buses,<br />
especially after the earthquakes,<br />
but by terminating the 107 and<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
Standing room only on some bus services<br />
108 routes it will omit a large<br />
area and also have a huge impact<br />
on retail and tourism. The 107<br />
is the only bus that goes past<br />
Willowbank and this is used by<br />
tourists every week.<br />
I have had the privilege to direct<br />
tourists to the 107 bus to get<br />
to Willowbank. I personally use<br />
the 107 to go to the Supa Centre<br />
on a regular basis and will no<br />
longer shop there if this service<br />
is terminated.<br />
From a personal point of view<br />
I am unable to drive and therefore<br />
rely on public transport<br />
every day. The termination of<br />
the 107 will mean I have to walk<br />
to the next nearest bus and with<br />
acute asthma that often flares up<br />
in winter this will be impractical<br />
and cause me to have significantly<br />
more time off work.<br />
I also have an elderly mother<br />
who visits once a week and<br />
would not be able to walk from<br />
Northlands to my house so<br />
relies on the 107 bus. My elderly<br />
neighbours are also very afraid<br />
it will prevent them from having<br />
any social life if this is terminated<br />
and I believe this applies<br />
to a large number of people in<br />
the area.<br />
There is a new retirement<br />
home being built at the end of<br />
Cavendish Rd which will have<br />
no bus access nearby so many<br />
residents will not be able to go<br />
and visit friends and family.<br />
As for the other routes being<br />
terminated I know there are<br />
many people that use one of<br />
these routes for access to and<br />
from Burwood Hospital for<br />
ongoing therapy and care.<br />
Again if this route is terminated<br />
health care of these patients<br />
will be in jeopardy and they will<br />
not get the quality healthcare<br />
they need. There are also other<br />
school students affected by the<br />
termination of the 145 route.<br />
Even if the routes ran on<br />
reduced frequency it will still<br />
be beneficial to keep them. Has<br />
ECan even considered this as an<br />
option? It appears not.<br />

Stephan Lance Gardiner<br />

a group of students have been<br />
named as the New Zealand<br />
junior trialists<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s Isabella<br />
Carter has been selected for<br />
the girls trials, and is one of two<br />
Christchurch girls named.<br />
In the boys trial squad, Maadi<br />
Cup winners Christ’s College<br />
had three students, Alex Todhunter,<br />
Jamie Batchelor and Max<br />
Goodwin, selected.<br />
Coming out of its biggest<br />
Maadi medal haul ever and having<br />
been named the best South<br />
Island boys’ school, Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High students Jack<br />
Chapman, Matt White, Tom<br />
Woelders and Will Gilbert were<br />
also named as trialists.<br />
Tom recently won a head-tohead<br />
erg race against two-time<br />
Olympic gold medallist Eric<br />
Murray during a fundraiser<br />
at the school to get students to<br />

WORK IS well under way<br />
on a $500,000 project at the<br />
Waimairi Tennis Club, in<br />
Watford St, which will see<br />
improved surfaces for all seven<br />
courts on the Strowan site.<br />
Damaged by<br />
liquefaction<br />
and cracking<br />
following the<br />
earthquakes,<br />
the courts<br />
Lloyd Russell<br />
were repaired<br />
sufficiently to<br />
allow play to<br />
continue for the past seven years<br />
but the time had come for a major<br />
revamp, said club president<br />
Lloyd Russell.<br />
“Work started in January<br />
and play at the club has been<br />
out of action for three months<br />
with coaching and tennis<br />
programmes transferred to<br />
other venues. We’re very<br />
grateful to Elmwood and St<br />
Paul’s Tennis Clubs for letting<br />
us use their courts during this<br />
period.<br />
“And we’re very appreciative<br />
of the immediate neighbours<br />
who have been understanding<br />
while this sometimes noisy and<br />
dusty work is being carried out.”<br />
Four of the new courts will<br />
be cushioned hard courts for<br />
competition play and the other<br />
three are all-weather synthetic<br />
turf surfaces for coaching and<br />
training.<br />
Work is expected to be completed<br />
by the end of <strong>April</strong> and an<br />
ASTROTURF: Work is well under way at the Waimairi Tennis Club in Watford St as new<br />
surfaces are laid on the club’s seven courts. <br />
official opening celebration will<br />
be held at the start of the new<br />
season in September.<br />
The largest club in Canterbury,<br />
Waimairi has 370 juniors<br />
and 140 seniors.<br />
It has teams in many competitions.<br />
Waimairi was named 2017<br />
Club of the Year and was also a<br />
finalist for overall outstanding<br />
club of the year at the recent<br />
Nexia NZ Sport Canterbury<br />
Awards.<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 />

contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />

Centuries old folk remedy<br />
supports good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health<br />
benefits. It is none other than the 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 the<br />
blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood<br />
thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly<br />
through the blood vessels and capillaries.<br />
This poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />
health by limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />
well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />
To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />
increases blood pressure but this puts<br />
more stress on the blood vessels, organs<br />

and heart. Having ACV and H with meals<br />
will help prevent protein raising the blood<br />
pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />
of greater well-being because the thinner<br />
blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />
an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />
Health attributes.<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 />

Ultimate beauty oil?<br />
Are you looking for a beauty oil that<br />
contains a blend of some of the most<br />
effective oils available and that these oils are<br />
just 100% pure and natural with no fillers<br />
or cheap additives?<br />
Our new ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL<br />
BLEND contains a perfect combination of<br />
three of the best natural healing and skin<br />
restoration oils available to give your skin<br />

The first oil is the remarkable Organic<br />
Dilo. One of the best kept secrets of the<br />
Pacific Islands Dilo oil may however be the<br />
number one natural beauty oil available.<br />
According to ethnobotanist<br />
Chris Kilham, Dilo is a<br />
powerful skin regenerator, as<br />
it is one of the most effective<br />
agents in promoting the<br />
regeneration and formation<br />
of new skin tissue. It is superabsorbing<br />
and can penetrate<br />
all three layers of the skin,<br />
offering exceptional cell<br />
hydration and regeneration.<br />
Dilo contains powerful<br />
antibacterial, antioxidant and<br />
anti-inflammatory properties<br />
which promotes the growth<br />
of healthy and glowing skin.<br />
Organic Argan oil (or liquid<br />
gold) is the next amazing<br />
oil that is extremely rich in<br />
beneficial nutrients, fatty<br />
acids and vitamin E. It gives<br />
the skin a youthful glow<br />
restores elasticity and leaves<br />
the skin feeling plumper and<br />
softer.<br />
ACV SUPPORTS<br />
• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes<br />
• Energy – Vitality – Endurance<br />
• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites<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 />

Wild Rosehip is the final powerful oil. It<br />
is known to hydrate the skin and correct<br />
skin damage over a period of time. It is well<br />
known to help with scars, stretch marks,<br />
age spots, skin pigmentation and reduce<br />
the signs of premature aging.<br />
The ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL BLEND<br />
helps give your skin the nourishment and<br />
nutrition it may require to restore itself and<br />
keep it vibrant and flawless.<br />

International Rugby Programme<br />
The <strong>2018</strong> Burnside High School International Rugby Programme (IRP)<br />
commenced on 19 March. This year there are boys and girls from Germany,<br />
Argentina, Italy, Korea, Japan, Afghanistan and Scotland in the group. The<br />
IRP provides a programme of detailed rugby skill instruction, weight-training,<br />
speed and agility sessions and of course rugby team involvement until the<br />
end of August.<br />
The first two weeks involve detailed orientation with several guest speakers<br />
as well as physical and skill testing. The orientation is designed to help<br />
the students enjoy their homestay experience, to provide advice on how<br />
to proactively interact with their team-mates and to understand the New<br />
Zealand road rules - all in all, how to enjoy the next 22 weeks of their rugby<br />
adventure. The IRP has been running at Burnside High School from 2014 but<br />
has already produced Olympians in Sevens and male and female national<br />
team players in 7s and 15s.<br />
BHS PTA Uniform Shop<br />
The PTA Uniform Shop stocks new and second hand items. The shop<br />
is located at the front of the school in A1. Now is the time to purchase<br />
winter uniforms, all items are available at the shop.<br />
Opening Hours are:<br />
Monday lunchtime 1:00pm - 2:00pm<br />
Tuesdays after school 2.45pm - 4.00pm<br />
Wednesday 4th <strong>April</strong> after school 2.30pm - 4.00pm<br />
A visit from Seasprite helicopter<br />
The Navy Seasprite Helicopter is en route to the Warbirds Over Wanaka<br />
Airshow. When the opportunity arose for the Seasprite helicopter to make<br />
school visits on its way south, Burnside High School jumped at the chance.<br />
STEM activities and exhibitions<br />
Fifteen students from Ashburton College and Burnside High School<br />
recently gathered at the Burnside Campus for four days of Germantaught<br />
STEM activities and exhibitions (science, technology, engineering<br />
& mathematics).<br />
This opportunity was offered to all German-learning students from<br />
the two schools as part of the PASCH schools program through the<br />
Goethe-Institut, and was overseen by Goethe staff member Judith<br />
Geare.<br />
The foundation of the course was laid out on the first day, Friday,<br />
where Bianca Violet and Philipp Legner from Imaginary introduced<br />
the students to several computer programs based on fractals and<br />
polynomial graphing. From there the students were set free to think<br />
up their own exhibition projects and take them from paper sketches to<br />
reality over the next three days.<br />
With Christ The King School directly across the road they were also warmly<br />
welcomed over.<br />
As part of our career development programme, we invite many tertiary<br />
providers to speak with our students throughout the year, to provide them<br />
with a wide range of information and to assist them with their decision<br />
making. It is not often that they turn up in a helicopter!<br />
Today's helicopter visit was an amazing opportunity for 20 students who<br />
have expressed an interest in the Defence Force. They not only got to see a<br />
piece of the Defence Force in action; they also got to interact with the flight<br />
crew and pick their brains about the variety of occupations available. Many<br />
subject classes also benefited from the Seasprite’s visit, including Science<br />
classes discussing the transfer of energy that occurs during a helicopter take<br />
off; Physics classes discussing the rotor blades; and Mathematics classes with<br />
problem sets based around helicopters.<br />
We are grateful to the Defence Force for offering this opportunity to our<br />
school.<br />
Ideas ranged from metre-tall double pendulums to intricate optical<br />
illusions, something from every aspect of the STEM curriculum.<br />
The exhibits will be set up for viewing at the Burnside High School<br />
library until the end of Term 1 and then will travel down to Ashburton to<br />
allow all interested students (and keen maths teachers) to view, learn<br />
and interact.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
The health<br />
effects of sugar<br />
Should we be alarmed or is this<br />
likely to be another area that science<br />
backtracks on?<br />
The answer to that question is Yes,<br />
we should be worried, there are real<br />
problems caused by the volume of sugar<br />
being consumed by the average person<br />
and when look back over the last decades<br />
the problem is getting worse, not better.<br />
developments in research and<br />
understanding the fields of nutrition<br />
and food safety change how we view<br />
products we consume and patterns of<br />
consumption can make the negative<br />
effects of foods more pronounced.<br />
while these advances should be<br />
embraced, as each development leads<br />
to better understanding and health<br />
outcomes it can also be frustrating to<br />
the average consumer who can feel like<br />
just when they ‘get’ a good healthy eating<br />
plan together, the rules change.<br />
The recommendations for sugar are a<br />
good example of how information can<br />
be confusing, some sources encourage<br />
the complete ban on all sugar containing<br />
products and others, such as the heart<br />
foundation recommend a reduction<br />
rather than complete removal.<br />
It’s not so confusing though really, at<br />
no time in history has sugar ever been<br />
presented as a healthy food, but as in the<br />
past it took more effort to consume sugar<br />
it was less of a problem, we could ‘get<br />
away with it’.<br />
In the past sugar was something that<br />
you could control through how much<br />
you added, in baking and to your cup of<br />
tea. This knowledge then transferred into<br />
the first generation of convenience food,<br />
if it was sweet, it had sugar in it.<br />
what we now face as a challenge is<br />
not that suddenly sugar is bad, but that<br />
it is added, often quietly, to many of the<br />
processed foods we consume, even when<br />
they aren’t sweet.<br />
The availability and often-reduced<br />
price of these foods compared to<br />
healthier option make them an easy<br />
choice to the time poor or uneducated<br />
consumer.<br />
There are some simple tips you can<br />
follow, including reading food labels;<br />
consuming as much food as possible<br />
in a state close to its natural form and<br />
avoiding sugary drinks. Consumers also<br />
need to be aware of marketing claims<br />
that do not provide the full nutritional<br />
picture of a product.<br />
A sensible place to start is by<br />
combining a diet low in processed food<br />
and sugar combined with regular activity<br />
What we now face as<br />
a challenge is not that<br />
suddenly sugar is bad, but<br />
that it is added, often quietly<br />
to many of the processed<br />
foods we consume, even<br />
when they aren’t sweet.<br />
as the path to long-term health.<br />
For more advice and direction to<br />
improve your health talk to your<br />
registered exercise professional, they can<br />
offer some advice and are able to refer<br />
you to sources of information and other<br />
nutritional professionals that you<br />
can trust.<br />

Summer cooling<br />
“Did you know your heat pump is an air<br />
conditioner?”<br />
BUT!! If you bought it for heating it will<br />
struggle to cool the area as cooling is always<br />
less output e.g. Mitsubishi Electric MSZGE42<br />
= 5kW heating and 4.2kW cooling. So always<br />
ask your installer if you want cooling as well as<br />
heating. We at Air Con Christchurch always<br />
advise what we have quoted for.<br />
Heating tips<br />
Select “Heat” on heat pump and set<br />
temperature at approximately 21 – 22 degrees<br />
with fan on Auto<br />
Cooling tips<br />
Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this<br />
will save you up to 30% running costs and still<br />
be cool (try it and see). 16 degrees is too low.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or<br />
a retrofit, most homes include<br />
at least one heat pump, if not a<br />
whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are<br />
much more convenient than a log<br />
burner as you just need to press a<br />
button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right<br />
sized heat pump is key to ensuring<br />
optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional<br />
advice from heat pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall<br />
mounted high walls, floor mounted systems,<br />
multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through<br />
to ducted central heating systems allowing<br />
you to have a very discreet way of heating<br />
your whole home to a constant temperature<br />
throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is<br />
suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it is<br />
important to select<br />
the correct size for<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the<br />
right advice.<br />
your requirements<br />
that will handle<br />
the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily<br />
overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the<br />
location of your<br />
heat pump is also extremely important. The<br />
cheapest installation is a back to back where<br />
the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind<br />
the indoor unit however this is not necessarily<br />
always the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to<br />
consider when<br />
choosing a heat pump<br />
are time clocks, ease<br />
of use of the remote<br />
controllers, air<br />
filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home and it is vital to get<br />
the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />
obligation quote and will come to your home<br />
to see what is required. Visit our website at<br />
www.enviromaster.co.nz.<br />
Fresh air<br />
in your home<br />
All houses require air exchange in order<br />
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live<br />
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air<br />
quality is important for the health of the<br />
occupants. Houses can have many sources of<br />
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,<br />
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening<br />
the windows can refresh the air, but is not<br />
always an option for security reasons and can<br />
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.<br />
Although older houses have small gaps around<br />
windows and doors, you want to be able to<br />
control the flow of air. You don’t want air<br />
coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and<br />
pushing the soiled air around the house. It<br />
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and<br />
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in<br />
from the rest of the house to replace the air that<br />
has been removed.<br />
Modern houses are very airtight and<br />
theoretically require a source of incoming air<br />
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to<br />
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be<br />
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not<br />
to cause draughts.<br />
There are two main types of ventilation system:<br />
Positive pressure and Balanced pressure.<br />
Positive pressure systems, such as the Dry-<br />
Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into<br />
the house, which then percolates through the<br />
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.<br />
Balanced pressure systems bring in a similar<br />
amount of air to the amount they exhaust.<br />
Balanced pressure systems with Heat<br />
Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the heat<br />
of the outgoing air to warm the incoming<br />
air from outside. These are the most energy<br />
efficient systems available, as they recover up<br />
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than<br />
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just<br />
as well cooling incoming air when the house is<br />
cooled in summer.<br />
The NZ building code has recommended<br />
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain<br />
the required airflow for your home, please<br />
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to<br />
recommend a solution if your ventilation<br />
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.<br />
