AFTER witnessing generations
of changes in the city and
leading the way in adapting to
those changes, Riccarton’s St
Ninian’s church is becoming a
centenarian.

in Riccarton, which is set to celebrate a 100 years.
St Ninian’s to celebrate centenarian
The Presbyterian church was
established in June 1918 on land
gifted by the Deans family.
Said St Ninian’s clerks Pam
McKechie and Barbara Chapman:
“I think probably in the
wider Presbyterian church we’re
recognised for what we are but
we’re not everybody’s cup of
tea,” Mrs Chapman said.
And as the city evolved, the
new church-goers reflected the
new city. Mrs McKechie said the
changes were for the better.
“Over the years, we’ve also
hopped on the bandwagon on
things like the nuclear-free
movement, gay rights, women’s
rights and environmental rights.
“It’s okay to question what’s
said and we don’t all believe the
exact the same things of course,”
Mrs McKechie said.

Decision
on future
of Paterson
House to
be made
today
• By Anan Zaki
A DECISION over the future
use of the historic Paterson
House in Halswell will be made
today.
The council-owned category
two heritage listed villa at
Halswell Quarry Park is
being sought for lease by
charitable organisation,
Conservation Volunteers New
Zealand.
The city council said the
organisation would use the
91-year-old stone villa as shortterm
accommodation for its
volunteers working on city
council projects such as the Port
Hills fire recovery.
The decision to grant a lease
to CVNZ or run a tender
would be made by the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board.
The house was named after
the quarry’s first manager Ned
Paterson, but now formed part
of the quarry park.
Following the earthquakes,
the city council repaired the
house to suit residential use.

from the reporter’s desk
As we age, keeping up with the times can be difficult and St
Ninian’s in Riccarton has been adapting to those changes for a
100 years.
Whether it is championing minorities’ rights, or providing a
communal space for newcomers to the city, St Ninian’s deserves
a big pat on the back for reaching a huge milestone.
Make sure you pop by the church on Queen’s Birthday weekend
to witness a bit of history.
Congratulations are also in order to Halswell brothers Celyn
and Ieuan Edwards, who were among 13 Kiwis to receive Gold
Hearts scholars.
If you know any big milestones that are coming up soon,

Spate of car break-ins in Halswell
• By Anan Zaki
POLICE HAVE called on
Halswell residents to be vigilant
following a spike in car breakins.
Six people reported break-ins
in the suburb on Monday last
week.
Inspector Glenn Nalder said
police were concerned about the
recent activity in Halswell and
were taking it seriously.
“In response to this, police are
directing more
patrols to the
area and are
looking into
whether there
are links with
any of these
burglaries.
“We are
Glenn Nalder
focused on trying
to prevent
crime in our communities and
use a number of methods to do
so,” he said.
Inspector Nalder said people
needed to “do what they can” to
protect themselves.
“It is also incredibly important
that people report it to police as
soon as possible if they become a
victim of burglary.
“It is important for us to know
what is occurring, even the
smallest piece of information
may assist us in solving a bigger
crime trend,” Inspector Nalder
said.
One of the six victims, Abbie
Phillips, lost a number of items
from her car, including a spare
tyre, and an electronic cigarette.
“The most unfortunate one and
probably not worth a lot to others
was my gel nail polishes because I
do that as a part-time job.
“I’ve accumulated about $500
worth of stuff and they were all
stolen from the boot of my car,”
Ms Phillips said.
This was the second time in
six months that her car was
targeted in the suburb.
“It’s pretty gutting really,” Ms
Phillips said.
She said the burglaries made
her fear for her safety and the
safety of her partner and young
son.
“It does make you feel a
bit uneasy, it’s such a great
neighbourhood and it’s such a
shame that someone is going
around and doing this,” Ms
Phillips said.

In Brief
MOTORWAY DETOUR
Southbound traffic on the
Christchurch Southern Motorway
has been switched on to a
temporary diversion road at the
Hornby end. This is part of the
construction of the second stage of
the motorway.
TOWER PAINTED
Addington’s historic water tower is
sporting its original colour scheme
for the first time in decades. The
21.9m tower was damaged in
the earthquakes but has recently
been repaired, strengthened and
given a fresh coat of paint. “In
recent times the tower has been
painted either grey or black but we
knew that when it was originally
built in 1883 it was painted in
Victorian colours,’’ Christchurch
City Council heritage programme
manager Richie Moyle said.
PARK TOILET DECISION
Today the Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
will consider approving a
landscape plan for Harrington
Park’s proposed public toilet.
The park, on Peverel St, currently
has no toilet. Construction is
scheduled to start on the toilet
next month, and it’s expected it
will be completed in July. The city
council staff recommendation is
to approve the plan.

St Ninian’s turning 100
MILESTONE: The celebration to mark 100 years of St Ninian’s
will be held over Queen’s Birthday weekend.
•From page 1
The church building today is
also different to how it was when
St Ninian’s opened in 1918.
The original church was in an
adjacent hall, and services were
held there until the present day
stone building was built in 1926.
The new building was the first
stone Presbyterian church in
Christchurch, Mrs McKechie
said.
Remarkably, the stone building
was left relatively unscathed in
the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
“The building is actually
concrete with a stone veneer;
the concrete structure saved the
church,” Mrs McKechie said.
“We didn’t even realise that
because the people who knew are
no longer about, and when the
engineers discovered that it was
a big surprise to us,” Mrs Chapman
said.
The church continued to attract
visitors who had a special
connection to the place, she said.
“It’s not unusual for somebody
to wander in during the week
and say ‘I was married here’,
there were a lot of weddings in
earlier times,” Mrs Chapman
said.
Celebrations for the 100th
anniversary will be held over
Queen’s Birthday weekend.
“We’re having a social get together
on June 2 at 4pm. We will
then have a communion service
on Sunday morning, and before
we move onto lunch, we will have
a few speeches,” Mrs Chapman
said.
There would also be a display
of photos and memorabilia.
“We’ve got four former ministers
coming, which will be very
nice,” Reverend Yvonne Smith
said. As for the future of
the church, the trio are
confident that newcomers to
the church would keep the
church going.
“The new people to the
church have reflected the
multicultural nature of the
area and have young children
and it’s like a village for the
families,” Rev Smith said.

Who decides where
it’s safe to swim?
Jenny Webster-Brown
CANTERBURY University
is set to host a public lecture
on Thursday detailing the
swimability of the country’s
waterways.
The lecture, titled To swim
or not to swim? That is the
question… will be presented by
Canterbury University water
resource management professor
Jenny Webster-Brown.
The event would focus on
helping the public understand
Government regulations around
safe swimming areas, she said.
The messages from the Government
about safe swimming
were “confusing”, Prof Webster-
Brown said.
“So we want to untangle a lot
of that information so that they
have the confidence to jump in
the water when they want to in
the middle of summer,” she said.
It was important to inform the
public because the regulations
around what constituted a safe
swimming site changed three
years ago, the professor said.
“We’re sort of in a transition
period at the moment of getting
the public up to speed where they
can find the right information
about whether or not it is safe to
swim in their favourite swimming
hole,” Prof Webster-Brown
said.
Regional councils and other
organisations had pathways to
provide information about the
quality of waterways, but what
that information meant was not
widely available, she said.
Anybody interested in the
safety of swimming sites were
welcome to attend the lecture,
Prof Webster-Brown said.
“The talk is very much geared
to an audience without that technical
knowledge, so it should be
an easy learning experience for
anyone who’s here,” she said.
The lecture will be held oat
7pm in the C Block lecture
theatre at the university’s Ilam
campus.

Hornby store ditches plastic bags
• By Anan Zaki
FIRST GROCERY stores, and
now home improvement stores –
the humble plastic shopping bag
is being withdrawn.
Mitre 10 MEGA Hornby
announced last week that from
the beginning of July, it would
ditch plastic bags from checkouts,
joining others across the country.
Mitre 10 and Mitre 10 MEGA
owner-operators unanimously
voted in favour of removing
plastic bags at checkouts.
From July, shoppers would need
to either take their own bags, buy
a reusable bag or use other means
to transport their goods.
Mitre 10 general manager for
marketing Jules Lloyd-Jones said
the decision to withdraw the
single use item was easy.
•From page 1
Under the proposal, CVNZ
would also work with the city
council to source and manage
volunteers for projects and
would maintain the grounds
around Paterson House.
The city council said it could
negotiate a rent of between $1000
and $4000 per annum with the
organisation.
“As the country’s biggest
home improvement retailer,
we take our duty to be socially
responsible seriously and always
strive to do the right thing by our
customers, communities and the
environment,” she said.
The company admitted some
customers may need to adjust
when the changes are rolled out.
“Plastic bags have become
so ingrained into our way
of shopping that it’s quite a
significant mind-shift to get into
the routine of bringing your own
bag.
“Providing customers with a
positive experience is right at
the top of our agenda so we’ll
be talking a lot about the move
ahead over the next few weeks
both in store and publicly,” Ms
Lloyd-Jones said.
A second option for Paterson
House was to run an open tender
process to determine the lessee.
Should the house be tenanted,
the city council said it would
not “exclude or substantially
interfere with the public’s access
to Halswell Quarry Park.
But the house itself would
not be open to the public once
leased.

Fire rages, homes at risk
THE CANTERBURY Down

structural engineering firm
Constructure.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary,
Constructure launched a
Givealittle page in April, inviting
its customers to donate to a good
cause as an ‘unorthodox birthday
present.’
The firm donated $10,000 and
its clients donated $2420.
Constructure founder Cory
Bedford said he was excited that
his clients got into the spirit.
“I really want to thank all our
customers for their generosity
that will make a big difference
for a small local charity like the
CDSA.”
The CDSA provides support,
education, and advocacy to its
members, their families and
wider community.
Said CDCA chairwoman
Diane Mulholland: “We are just
overwhelmed and grateful that
this amazing gift got even bigger.”
The $10,000 gift was not
chosen randomly but symbolises
the target of 10,000 projects the
Constructure team wanted to
complete by the anniversary

Handling changes
Ilam and
Upper
Riccarton
Residents
Association
chair Phil
McGoldrick
wants people
to engage in
more public discussion
CHRISTCHURCH, perhaps
more than any other city in
New Zealand, is undergoing
enormous change presently
and I believe that it is simply an
inkling of things to come.
Our council and local bodies
face more consequential issues
than they ever have in the past
and it is imperative they are
equipped to handle adeptly these
enormous challenges.
Roading changes happening
and being mooted throughout
the city are, and understandably
so, drastic so we all need
to be proactive rather than wait
disinterestedly until it’s done and
then complain in vain.
For example, I have just
viewed the proposed changes
to Cranford St to accommodate
the anticipated impact of the
Northern Corridor. Auckland’s
$23 billion transport plan will
impose fuel taxes and certain
road tolls on all Aucklanders,
and that’s causing massive
rumblings in our largest city. But
we here are not immune from
such changes, our council have
expressed a desire to be able to
impose similar taxes as well as
rates on water – scary stuff.
So we must be on guard and
vitally interested lest your hardearned
incomes are further
eroded. “So what can I do?” I
hear you ask.
The first step may be to join
your local residents association.
We have seen a growing interest
in Ilam, Upper Riccarton affairs
and our membership numbers
have swelled. But still not sufficiently
and I would encourage
all of our residents to attend our
next annual general meeting on
June 6 in the Wheki Building at
the Dovedale University Campus
starting at 7pm.

Readers respond to city
councillor Aaron Keown’s
comments comparing
Banks Peninsula to
“expensive” Merivale wives
Helen Neni Dobson – For
goodness sake. Lighten up and
get over yourselves. We have lost
the will to laugh at ourselves. A
sure sign that we are constantly
trying to find someone else to
blame for our shortcomings.
Matt Cuthill – How about
concentrating on fixing the
roads, building a stadium, a
proper metro sports facility,
and getting rid of the eyesores
including the Cathedral?
Heather Knox – Wow, what
an appalling, insulting comment
to make about women. Stereotypical
rubbish and makes the
women sound like possessions
that have been bought.
Pete Roberts – So everybody
(including the women
there) has a good laugh, and
even the mayor has a laugh and
can’t bring herself to tell him to
pull his head in because it was
a stupid, offensive thing to say,
and then she basically said it was
okay to say it in another environment,
just not there.
Natasha Layton – CCC
get to work we don’t pay you to
“lighten the mood.”
Readers react on Mayor
Lianne Dalziel’s bid to get
Inland Revenue staff to
stop illegally parking in
Russley
Rob Eder – It all falls back
to the council or developers.
When these business parks are
built there’s never enough parks
for the people who work there.
Same as the one on Cranford St
where there are cars parked up
and down the road sides. When
these business parks are first
built there should be a requirement
to provide car parks off the
street for the number of people
who work there. If they can’t
then don’t allow them to be built
so big.
Allie Moreland – I worked
in that business park for a
few years and parking was a
nightmare for staff. I lived across

town with a child to drop off
so didn’t have time to spend
waiting around for a bus to then
to get to work (and bus routes
didn’t suit). If I couldn’t get a
park at a reasonable distance I
parked in the restricted parking
and moved my car every break
so I didn’t break the restrictions.
Hayley Lyel – Worked at
that business park for a year and
was pregnant with twins with
a bad disc problem in my back.
I wasn’t allowed to park on-site
so I literally “waddled” two
blocks to get to work in the end.
The people to blame here are
the business park owners who
allowed this to be built without
sufficient parking for staff. I feel
for the residents it must be awful
but it was the worst decision to
move a call centre there with
hundreds of staff plus the other
businesses.

Swimming brothers earn scholarships
Grant to help
them reach
full potential
• By Jacob Page
HALSWELL BROTHERS Celyn
and Ieuan Edwards are among
the 13 New Zealanders named
Gold Hearts scholars.
Both are talented swimmers
and the accolade from the
children’s charity, Variety, means
they will both receive up to
$5000 of funding to help them
reach their full potential in the
pool.
The brothers train at the
Selwyn Swim Club. Celyn, 17,
competed at the Commonwealth
Games this year, earning personal
bests in the individual
medley.
“It was certainly a new experience
for me, usually I only have
400 people in the stands supporting
us so to have 10,000 was
something else,” Celyn said.
He says his younger brother is
showing plenty of promise.
“He’s beating me in a few races
now and seems to be heading on
the right track.”
Celyn holds 23 New Zealand
records and one Oceania record.
He swam at the Berlin IDM meet
and the Australian Swimming
Para Grand Prix last year, and

Heart Scholarship to assist with
his attendance at development
camps, provided by Paraswimming
New Zealand and the
Selwyn Swim Club. He will also
use the funds to assist in getting
him to upcoming meets, both in
New Zealand and overseas, and
on related equipment costs.
Ieuan, 15, has his sights set on
competing at the 2022 Commonwealth
Games, followed by the
2024 Paralympic Games.
He is also looking to compete
in the New Zealand short course
SPORTS
champs and the New Zealand
Open, as well as attend development
camps hosted by Paraswimming
New Zealand and
the Selwyn Swim Club – each
of which would not be possible
without the Gold Heart Scholarship.
Ieuan holds one New Zealand
record, has won medals at
previous New Zealand short
course championships and New
Zealand Open meets, and is the
joint holder of the 2015 Halberg
Junior Disability Games overall
best athlete,
“My older brother has shown
me that I can attain my goals
because he has done them,”
Ieuan says.
Ieuan wants to represent New
Zealand in the middle-distance
freestyle events.
The scholarship money will
help pay for both swimmers to
attend national training camps
and short course meets.
“He’s a very relaxed older
brother and he gives me a lot of
good advice,” Ieuan said.
He is currently striving to
close the gap between his swim
times and those of the current
New Zealand swim team who
are some five years older than
him.
More girls needed for new under-16 grade
• By Zahra Shahtahmasebi
CHRISTCHURCH’S new
under-16 girls rugby grade has
only just enough players to
field three teams for a 10-a-side
competition.
The grade, which was set up
after the Canterbury Rugby
Football Union ruled last year
that girls must be 16-years-old to
play in the women’s competition,
needs a dramatic increase in
numbers to be able to offer a
15-a-side competition.
CRFU chief executive Nathan
Godfrey said the grade aimed
to support the growth of
women’s rugby
by creating a safe
and inclusive
environment for
girls to have fun.
But under-16s
grade manager
Tamara
Toaolamai said
the CRFU was
paying lipservice
to the
idea, as not a lot
of thought has been put into the
development of the grade.
She said the CRFU had put
Tamara and Naia
Toaolamai-Holden
the responsibility for recruiting
more players on
parents and coaches
like Toaolamai.
“I’m a teacher and a
mum of four – I don’t
have the time to go
around and promote a
grade, and it’s actually
not my job.”
A new women’s and
school girls’ rugby
development officer has
been appointed by the
CRFU, but it is unclear if they
have had any active involvement
with promoting the grade.
Toaolamai’s daughter and
High School Old Boys’ top try
scorer from last season Naia
Toaolamai-Holden, 15, has been
forced to watch her former team
from the side-line following the
CRFU’s new age rule.
She said the women’s grade
had been a great environment for
her as it provided opportunities
to learn from experienced
players like former Black Fern
Amiria Rule. She is one of the
oldest and most experienced
players in the new under-16s
grade.
Burnside women’s assistant
coach Claude Smith said the
grade needed to be focused on
providing quality competition,
resources and supportive
coaches to help grow the game
for both experienced and new
players.
Ash Brett, 14, has played
rugby for 10 years, and was
disappointed to be missing out
on the chance to develop her
game in the women’s grade.
“I don’t think age matters as
much as experience does – if you
have played rugby for a number
of years at a high standard, age
shouldn’t matter.”

Russley golfers to take on world’s best
SPORTS
• By Gordon Findlater
Juliana Hung and Hiroki Miya
from the Russley club will tee
off with the New Zealand team
at the junior golf World Cup in
Japan next month.
They will join Christchurch
club golfer Tom Parker in the
seven-strong team, alongside
Aucklanders Carmen Lim and
Rose Zheng, Kevin Koong
from North Harbour and
Shaun Campbell from Bay of
Plenty.
The selection comes on
the back of what has been
a remarkably successful
12 months for the three
Canterbury golfers.
Miya, who will be part of
the four-strong boys team, is
having a year to remember
after the biggest win of his
young golfing career at
the Faldo Series Asia
grand-final in Vietnam in
March.
“I’m really excited. I think
we have a really strong team
and have an opportunity to do
really well,” said Miya.
Hung will look to continue
a strong run of results in
New Zealand and abroad when
she represents the girls team.
SWING: Juliana Hung (right) and Hiroki Miya will join Tom Parker (left) in the New Zealand
team to tee off at the junior golf World Cup in Japan next month.
The New Zealand stroke
play champion represented
her country last week at
the Queen Sirikit Cup –
Asia-Pacific amateur ladies
golf team championship in
Thailand.
It will be Parker’s second
time competing in the
tournament. Last year he
finished 24th overall and
helped the New Zealand boys
team to finish sixth.
“It’s my favourite event
I’ve ever played in,” said
Parker.
“The course layout is
awesome. It’s perfectly
manicured, narrow with either
tree trouble or out-of-bounds
either side so you’ve got to hit it
straight.”
After finishing his final year
at Christchurch Boys’ High
School in 2017, Parker has
been able to concentrate on his
game before beginning college
at the University of Oregon in
the United States.
With a strong support unit
around him, he’s confident of a
good result in Japan.
“I feel like going back
there this time I have extra
confidence. . . . I’ve been there
before and will be doing a few
things differently this time
around,” said Parker.
The junior golf World Cup
will feature 15 men’s and nine
women’s teams.
The tournament runs from
June 10-15 at the Chukyo Golf
Club Ishino course.
Having three Christchurch
golfers named in the team is
a rare accomplishment and a
strong sign of a talented young
crop of golfers emerging in the
region.
“We are very proud of the
achievement to have Juliana,
Tom and Hiroki selected
to represent New Zealand
at the junior World Cup
event, it’s quite a remarkable
achievement,” said Canterbury
Golf development manager
Rachel Thow.
“These players have
worked hard to earn their
selection in this team and will
gain valuable international
experience amongst some of
the best junior players in the
world.”

An extensive range of educational, sporting and

attributes needed to not only achieve their
goals but to make a difference in their
communities. Our teachers ensure girls
are inspired and committed to learning as
they develop their unique way of learning
and achieving. The focus across Years 1 -
8 is on the growth of the developing girl
encompassing intellectual, social, physical,
emotional, and cultural needs.
Selwyn House is committed to providing

(PYP) and our future-focused STEAM and
Mechatronics curriculum ensures girls are
equipped to face a continually changing
world with confidence and enthusiasm.
We focus on instilling strong foundations
which can be successfully built upon.
Core learning in reading, writing and
mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes
in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership,
Mechatronics, Music, Performing
Arts, Physical Education, Science, Spanish

enhancing learning.
Selwyn House provides each girl with a
personalised learning experience. Each

time to a foster meaningful relationships
with each student. Due to our comprehensive
learning environment, our girls are
highly skilled, stand out among their peers

Ultimate campus taking shape
at QEII Park
Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing
rapidly with opening on track for next year.
Sue and John.
The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre
with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey
turf, four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café,
and a large library and learning centre.
Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley
Boys’ High School Headmaster John Laurenson are
excited by the progress.
“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that
will peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel
framing is up and the concrete slabs are down and we
can see now just how big this campus will be – it’s simply
wonderful,” says John Laurenson.
“You can finally see all that we have been talking about
and dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with
our students, staff and community making the most of all
of the fantastic new facilities before we know it.”
The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will
be the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single
sex schools will be co-located.
John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the
schools to offer students more.
“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to
build bigger and better facilities.”
Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better
educational opportunities.
“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects,
so we can offer students wider choice and there’s also
the opportunity to work together on co-curricular
opportunities – such as productions, sports competitions
and the like.”
Both principals are keen to point out that the colocation
is not a merger.
“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll
work together, but both schools will retain their own
culture, identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed
school,” says John Laurenson.
“Research shows that single sex education benefits
both boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform
better academically and girls participate more. This new
campus, has been designed so that students will still
spend most of their time in a single sex environment.”
Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the

Headache & Migraine
can be treated
Scm
The crosses are the area of the
muscle spasms (triggerpoints).
The red areas is where the
pain is felt.
Temporalis
muscle
Neck muscle that causes headaches, earaches and facial pain.
Most headaches and migraines are
caused by an accumulation of
factors. Factors like the condition
of your spine, neck, jaw and face muscles,
but also posture, breathing pattern and
your ability to manage stress. Once the
threshold is reached, you will suffer a
headache. Research shows in most cases,
the neck plays a significant role (Dwyer
et al. 1990). Migraine sufferers who react
well to migraine medication have excellent
results when treated for neck dysfunction
(Pavese et al. 1994).
Our physiotherapists have extensive
experience in treating headaches and
can quickly determine what treatment is
needed. This often leads to a significant
decrease in both the intensity and
frequency of your headaches.
As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk
explains, when our muscles tighten this
can refer pain to many of the areas around
the face and head. Dehydration can be the
catalyst for tightening the neck muscle
(SCM), which causes pain in the ear,
forehead and around the eye and jaw-joint
areas. Tightening of the temporalis muscle
can refer pain to the teeth, which can be
confusing when you visit the dentist to
have it checked and the dentist can’t find a
reason for the recurring pain.
Teeth grinding at night and teeth
clenching during the day are also a major
cause of muscle tightening.
Physiotherapy treatment for these
problems is based on deactivating the
‘trigger points’ through hands-on massage
therapy to relax the muscles, which is the
least invasive and a very effective form
of treatment. Dry needling is another
technique used for muscle relaxation, and
can be used with the client’s consent, Ietje
says.
Immediate relief is achieved by releasing
your tight muscles. At the same time we
work on the cause of the problem. For
example, a “feedback” headband can be
provided to be worn at night to help you
The muscle that causes headaches and toothaches.
learn not to clench your teeth while asleep.
Sometimes we need to work on the neck
part of your spine, where overuse or stress
can cause muscles to tighten, creating pain:’
Teaching self-management of stress can
also be an important aspect of the total
treatment, as well as teaching breathing
techniques, which go hand in hand with
managing stress.

in dealing with chronic pain, such as
headaches, earache, toothache, and facial
and jaw pain. ………………...We can help

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Supporting Your
Bowel & Digestive
Function Helps
Prevent Disease
It is most important to keep the whole
digestive & elimination systems of the
body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins
that have not been eliminated set the stage
for disease. Many diseases have been linked
with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial
component. Generally these microorganisms
or bacteria can only survive
due to the fact that the environment they
are in is suitable for their survival. Non
eliminated toxins are probably one of the
main causative factors for their survival.
We know that when the digestive system
& bowel function are poor we have many
more health problems. These include
arthritis, digestive problems like reflux &
stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic
skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis &
rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation,
tumors & a weakened immune system just
to name a few.
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a
highly effective blend of natural herbs to
support the whole digestive system & it is
especially effective at cleansing the lower
bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds &
influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin
conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary
infections, liver dysfunction, Candida,
weakened immune function & for people
who want to keep their health as good as
possible.
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the
production of digestive fluids & bile for
efficient digestion. This alone may help
prevent many diseases as a properly working
digestive system will itself neutralise many
disease causing organisms before they
have a chance to cause any problems. LBS
II also stimulates peristaltic action of the
colon effectively cleansing the colon of any
accumulated build-ups of waste material. It
also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms,
enhances liver function, purifies the blood,
neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy
intestinal parasites & worms, & fights
infection.
Keeping your digestive system & bowels
functioning efficiently is definitely &
important step in obtaining & maintaining
good long term health.

1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults
& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest
scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &
brain performance. Another study showed that older people with
higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &
score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,
regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor
that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk
of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in
the form of Methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are
dissolved in the
mouth & thru
bypassing the
digestive tract have
been shown to
effectively raise B12
levels in the body.

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 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.
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.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no
obligation quote and will come to your home
to see what is required.

Get rid of
dampness
in your house
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm and
healthy for their families throughout winter.
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of
our older properties which suffer from poor, or
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,
many people have relocated to homes
that suffer from rising damp which can be
associated with health problems. Independent
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can
rise from the ground and enter a house every
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation
and musty smells. Moulds can produce
various allergic reactions and the
frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd
is a locally owned and operated
firm. The team understands the
problems caused by rising damp
and are there to help. They will
come to your damp home and
pump a lightweight, flowable
foam concrete under your
timber floored home. Specially
WESTERN NEWS
adapted for our New Zealand conditions and
applications it provides a layer of protection
against rising moisture. An unexpected
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many
owners of properties which had underfloor
foam concrete installed, reported that it also
provided protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd
now for your free, no obligation quote and
complimentary appraisal of your underfloor
ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

HOME & HEATING
Fresh air
in your home
All houses require air exchange in order
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air
quality is important for the health of the
occupants. Houses can have many sources of
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening
the windows can refresh the air, but is not
always an option for security reasons and can
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.
Although older houses have small gaps
around windows and doors, you want to be
able to control the flow of air. You don’t want
air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and
pushing the soiled air around the house. It
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in
from the rest of the house to replace the air that
has been removed.
Modern houses are very airtight and
theoretically require a source of incoming air
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not
to cause draughts.
There are two main types of ventilation
system: Positive pressure and Balanced
pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the
Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into
the house, which then percolates through the
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.
Balanced pressure systems bring in a
similar amount of air to the amount they
exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with
Heat Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the
heat of the outgoing air to warm the incoming
air from outside. These are the most energy
efficient systems available, as they recover up
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just
as well cooling incoming air when the house is
cooled in summer.
The NZ building code has recommended
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain
the required airflow for your home, please
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to
recommend a solution if your ventilation
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.
