San Diego trip for dancer<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH School<br />
student Manaia Davies is off<br />
to San Diego later this month<br />
with a team of 22 dancers<br />
representing New Zealand at an<br />
international competition.<br />
The 13-year-old was asked to<br />
be in the team by Kiwi choreographer,<br />
Kiel Tutin, who has<br />
worked with stars such as Jennifer<br />
Lopez.<br />
Manaia, who has been dancing<br />
since she was three-yearsold,<br />
says she was “shocked” by<br />
the invitation and is looking<br />
forward to competing in Body<br />
Rock Junior.<br />
She’s been travelling to<br />
Auckland each weekend for<br />
practice.<br />
“It’s really hard-out, it’s<br />
full hands-on training and<br />
we run the set over,<br />
over and over again,” she<br />
said.<br />
The year 9 student spends<br />
most of her spare time training<br />
or teaching.<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />
BUSINESSMAN Doug Spence<br />
has bought the former Mitre 10<br />
building in Bishopdale which has<br />
sat empty for two years.<br />
Mr Spence has been behind<br />
a number of developments in<br />
Christchurch and is also currently<br />
looking to build a retail<br />
complex in Church Bay.<br />
His plans for the Mitre 10<br />
site in the village mall may be<br />
revealed today.<br />
Bishopdale Centre Association<br />
for Bishopdale Village Businesses<br />
chairwoman Amanda Nuttall is<br />
meeting with Mr Spence today to<br />
discuss his plans. She would not<br />
reveal those to Nor’West <strong>News</strong>.<br />

New World site and has had<br />
involvement with the New World<br />
Group, Paper Plus Group and<br />
Foodstuffs, including purchasing<br />
Pak’nSave Moorhouse Ave in<br />

Papanui and became Mitre 10<br />

BISHOPDALE IS about to get a shot in<br />
the arm with well-known businessman<br />
Doug Spence buying the old Mitre 10 store<br />
(see page 1).<br />
When it was operating, Mitre 10 drew<br />
people to the mall who also opened their<br />
wallets at other stores. That’s good for all – people spend, that<br />
puts money into the tills of businesses which are able to hire and<br />
pay wages. A win-win.<br />
But since Mitre 10’s closure, things have dropped away for<br />
some businesses in Bishopdale.<br />
What good news awaits will hopefully be revealed today.<br />
Spence is scheduled to meet with Amanda Nuttall who is head<br />
of that very wordy organisation called the Bishopdale Centre<br />
Association for Bishopdale Village Businesses.<br />

Pollution concerns in St Albans<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CONCERNS ARE mounting<br />
over air pollution once the<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />
opens.<br />
The Northern Corridor is<br />
predicted to cause a 30 per<br />
cent increase in traffic to the St<br />
Albans area. The Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board has written<br />
to Environment Canterbury<br />
asking whether its current<br />
monitoring<br />
station in<br />
Coles Pl<br />
can reliably<br />
capture<br />
accurate<br />
data of air<br />
quality on<br />
Cranford St,<br />
Ali Jones<br />
especially at<br />
the northern<br />
end.<br />
The board believes it is essential<br />
to capture air quality baseline<br />
data now so comparisons<br />
can be made when the Northern<br />
Corridor opens.<br />
Data currently available from<br />
the ECan monitoring station<br />
shows gases and particles are below<br />
the national guideline levels.<br />
However, the community board<br />
has concerns that the distance<br />
from Coles Pl could be too far<br />
to obtain accurate data. If that<br />
DIRTY AIR: Concerns over future air pollution from the<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor have prompted the community<br />
board to ask ECan if more monitoring is needed.<br />
is the case, the board requested<br />
monitoring be carried out at the<br />
Cranford St and Innes Rd intersection<br />
this winter.<br />
Said an ECan spokeswoman:<br />
“It is worth noting that ECan<br />
currently monitors air quality<br />
on Riccarton Rd, which is one of<br />
Christchurch’s busiest and most<br />
congested roads. Readings are<br />
all within Government healthbased<br />
guidelines.”<br />
“ECan endeavours to conduct<br />
temporary monitoring in areas<br />
of significant community concern<br />
but our resources are limited<br />
so each request is considered<br />
carefully,” she said.<br />
Cranford St resident Clinton<br />
Minchington wrote to the community<br />
board with concerns the<br />
surrounding area could become<br />
“heavily polluted” when the<br />
Northern Corridor opens.<br />
He also said the current ‘have<br />
your say’ consultation document<br />
for proposed changes to<br />
Cranford St and the surrounding<br />
area contains no mention<br />
of air quality or mitigation of<br />
adverse effects for residents most<br />
affected. “How can you build a<br />
project of this magnitude and<br />
not have a health and safety plan<br />
for residents?” he said.<br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Ali Jones said there is interest<br />
in gaining the data so there is<br />
something to measure against,<br />
mainly around the McFaddens<br />
Rd area.<br />
“It’s that McFaddens Rd sort of<br />
area that we need to just check<br />
. . . that’s where the major<br />
increase in traffic is going to be.<br />
Also, I think we are limited in<br />
what we can ask for measurements<br />
on; it’s a really long road.<br />
But we are just waiting to see<br />
what ECan comes back with.”<br />
Ms Jones said the board has<br />
not received a response from<br />
ECan yet.<br />

you concerned about air<br />
pollution in the St Albans<br />
area? Do you think it will get<br />
worse once the Northern<br />
Corridor opens? Email your<br />

Avenue<br />
Bowling<br />
Club Denis<br />

introduces<br />
the club and<br />
what it can provide for the<br />
community<br />
Not many people seem to<br />
have heard of the Morrison Ave<br />
Bowling Club, or where its greens<br />
and clubhouse are situated.<br />
Morrison Ave runs between<br />
Sawyers Arms Rd and Langdons<br />
Rd and the club is situated about<br />
halfway between these roads, and<br />
adjacent to a small reserve. A big<br />
new development is under way<br />
over the back fence.<br />
At the club’s recent annual<br />
meeting (the 59th) it was reported<br />
that we are the sixth-largest club<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
We have a growing membership<br />
and most of our work is carried<br />
out by volunteer labour.<br />
The club has two greens, one<br />
of which was rejuvenated during<br />
last winter and spring. During<br />
the season, the club hosted two<br />
national events where the participants<br />
praised the high quality of<br />
the greens. I’d like to give special<br />
thanks to our greens superintendent,<br />
Bill McMaster.<br />
The club’s secretary, Margaret<br />
Shields, advised that we have two<br />
excellent coaches, Len Isett and<br />
Bev Terry.<br />
Club bowls are available for<br />
learners and those wishing to test<br />
their skills, especially in the business<br />
house tournament which<br />
runs each year in the summer.<br />
For those who wish to play all<br />
year round, indoor bowls are<br />
played using full-sized bowls in<br />
the clubrooms during the winter.<br />
We have a partnership arrangement<br />
with the junior section of<br />
the Merivale-Papanui Rugby<br />
Football Club. The club holds its<br />
weekly prize-giving functions in<br />
our clubrooms – a win-win for<br />
both clubs.<br />
I would also mentioned our<br />
facilities are available for use by<br />
other groups.<br />

Jacqui Gibbs<br />
Chamberlain<br />
– Leap of Faith<br />
In these works I challenge my doubts and beliefs<br />
that anything is possible, that dreams really do come<br />
true. There is also a plunge into the unknown subtly<br />
represented in these paintings, a leap of faith into what<br />
cannot be seen, what lies beneath, what hides around the<br />
corner.<br />
All we need to do is to take that risk, the first step, and<br />
surrender to the unknown. Then the real adventure<br />
begins.<br />
My studio overlooks the sea and influences the way<br />
I think and create. Its forever changing moods, one<br />
moment calm and serene, the next rough and unforgiving,<br />
always with the freedom to do as it pleases, being<br />
accountable to no one. The constant ebb and flow of the<br />
tides with its contrasting colours and textures incites<br />
both peacefulness and restlessness in my moods and<br />
creativity. It is the joy and the fun that the ocean delivers<br />
to us that I have tried to capture in these works.<br />
A Leap of Faith is about taking that risk, not waiting or<br />
you may be waiting all your life. In the end we may only<br />
regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we<br />
were afraid to have and the decisions we waited too long<br />
to make. Go on, take the leap!<br />
About Jacqui: an artist of figurative subjects with life<br />
and energy, Jacqui lives and paints on an isolated farm<br />
in Port Levy, Banks Peninsula with her husband Chris<br />
and daughter Phoebe. While Jacqui’s subject matter<br />
is invariably the human form, it is secondary to her<br />
exploration of form, structure, movement, colour and<br />
texture.<br />
Come and meet Jacqui at the opening of her latest works:<br />
Little River Gallery, 9th <strong>June</strong> at 11am. Leap of Faith runs<br />
until 4th July.<br />

Community board member<br />
uses necklaces to promote UN<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
COMMUNITY board member<br />
Bridget Williams is taking<br />
on a start up project to help<br />
promote the United Nations’<br />
sustainable development goals<br />
at a grassroots level.<br />
Miss Williams, who is on the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board, along with<br />
her partner Luke Gillespie<br />
and colleague Anita Chang,<br />
will launch Bead and Proceed,<br />
which encourages people to<br />
come together and spend time<br />
discussing global issues while<br />
making beaded necklaces. The<br />
project will be launched later<br />
this year.<br />
The United Nations goals<br />
were adopted by 150 countries,<br />
including New Zealand, in<br />
2015. They aim to end poverty,<br />
protect the planet, reduce<br />
inequality and provide quality<br />
education, among other goals,<br />
by 2030.<br />
Each of the 17 goals has a<br />
corresponding bead colour,<br />
and each colour is painted on<br />
a necklace to portray the goals<br />
people would most like to see<br />
achieved.<br />
Miss Williams hopes the<br />
creative group activity will be a<br />
catalyst to empower and inspire<br />
NEW PROJECT: Bridget Williams (right) and her colleague Anita Chang will launch Bead and<br />
Proceed later this year.<br />
people to tackle global<br />
issues.<br />
For every Bead and Proceed<br />
kit (which will also have a<br />
unisex option) purchased,<br />
another will be donated to a<br />
low decile school or community<br />
organisation.<br />
Miss Williams said the<br />
product will cater to everyone<br />
and hopes the necklaces<br />
will provide a “statement to<br />
tell the world about the goals.”<br />
She said the project is<br />
about “creating the world<br />
you want to see in 2030” and<br />
building a creative environment,<br />
as she believes to achieve<br />
the goals, it will require<br />
“out-of-the-box thinking.”<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board deputy chairman<br />
Aaron Campbell said the<br />
closure of the store significantly<br />
reduced the number of shoppers<br />
coming to the mall and had an<br />
“obvious knock-on effect.”<br />
Owner of the neighbouring<br />
Sports World, Tony Ralfe, is pleased<br />
something will finally happen to the<br />
site.<br />
“We need someone in there to try<br />
and bring people back to Bishopdale,<br />
whether it’s going to be one big<br />
outfit or split into a multiple number<br />
of businesses – the sooner, the<br />
better. I’m keen to see something<br />
that will attract the public,” he said.<br />
In its Long Term Plan submission<br />
to the city council, the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board put emphasis on the need to<br />
regenerate Bishopdale.<br />
“A major contributor to the<br />
regeneration of Bishopdale is the<br />
Bishopdale Village Mall. The mall<br />
is a key suburban retail and social<br />
precinct in the Harewood Ward that<br />
services not just the local area but<br />
visitors from wider afield,” said the<br />
submission.<br />
It called for the demolition of the<br />
old Plunket rooms, which are now<br />
under the building code and unusable,<br />
beautifying of the city councilowned<br />
space and the installation of<br />
new public toilets.

Engineering challenge for pupils<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
COBHAM Intermediate pupils<br />
have proved themselves to be<br />
budding engineers.<br />
Two teams of pupils qualified<br />
for the Canterbury semi finals<br />
of the Epro8 Challenge, an engineering<br />
and problem-solving<br />
race competition.<br />
During the three hour event,<br />
each team of four is based at<br />
a workstation containing an<br />
assortment of easy to use parts<br />
and equipment.<br />
It begins with a tutorial on<br />
the equipment, then teams are<br />
given a booklet containing a<br />
number of challenges, most of<br />
which are of an entertaining<br />
and physical nature.<br />
Teams then choose which<br />
challenges they wish to undertake,<br />
the harder the challenge,<br />
the more points it is worth.<br />
At the heats, the Cobham<br />
group were required to make a<br />
bed for a construction worker<br />
as well as a solar-powered clock<br />
that shines and lights up when<br />
the sun rises.<br />
The clock had to have a 10<br />
second delay, while the breakfast<br />
is automatically brought<br />
to the bed from a minimum distance<br />
from two metres away.<br />
BUDDING ENGINEERS: One of two teams from Cobham<br />
Intermediate who are advancing to the Canterbury semifinals<br />
for the Epro8 engineering and problem-solving<br />
competition.<br />
The two teams called ‘The<br />
Overchargers’ and ‘Dark Thunder’<br />
consisted of Max Wallace,<br />
Nethidu Perea, Jessica French,<br />
Kyle Sander, Alan Vines, Benjamin<br />
Leighs, Misha Pavlov and<br />
Victoria Ding.<br />
Teacher Tony Lane said while<br />
the challenges were difficult,<br />
“the teams nailed it.”<br />
“I’m really proud of both<br />
teams. The determination and<br />
skills shown were inspiring,” he<br />
said.<br />
Audience ‘wowed’<br />
by Burnside High<br />
stage performances<br />
MICHAEL Jackson, technology<br />
v nature and the Chernobyl<br />
nuclear meltdown were all<br />
topics in Burnside High School’s<br />
own take on Stage Challenge –<br />
Compass Wars.<br />
After being informed in January<br />
that Stage Challenge could<br />
no longer go ahead due to a lack<br />
of funding, the school created its<br />
own competition which saw the<br />
pupils split into four divisions –<br />
senior, north, south, and west.<br />
Since then, Minister of Education<br />
Chris Hipkins has offered<br />
a one-off grant of $800,000 to<br />
RockQuest Promotions Ltd so it<br />
can put on a national event similar<br />
to Stage Challenge this year.<br />
Mr Hipkins said the ministry<br />
is also working on a longer term<br />
funding model to keep the event<br />
running.<br />
Burnside High’s south division<br />
won with a “thought-provoking”<br />
performance based on the 1980s<br />
and the Chernobyl meltdown.<br />
The senior pupils “wowed” the<br />
crowd with the life of Michael<br />
Jackson; west put on a fairy tale<br />
journey of a modern-day Cinderella;<br />
and north, which came<br />
second, had a futuristic performance<br />
on technology v nature.<br />
Each division had a colour<br />
and decade it had to represent<br />
through dance, drama, music,<br />
props, costume and visual enhancement.<br />
School spokeswoman Bernadette<br />
Shaw said there was an<br />
intensive term of planning and<br />
rehearsals which led up to the<br />
performances being revealed at<br />
The Aurora Centre, The centre<br />
was filled to capacity for the<br />
show.<br />
Three people judged the<br />
performances – two ex-students,<br />
Erin Wells and Sara Tsai, and<br />
Lana Paniflow, an experienced<br />
dancer and teacher.<br />

Young Casebrook netballers<br />
get on court with Tactix<br />
TWO BUDDING netballers<br />
from Casebrook Intermediate<br />
School got up close to the ANZ<br />
premiership action last week.<br />
Hailee Max and Brie Benns,<br />
12, met Tactix captain Jane<br />
Watson and Mystics captain<br />
Anna Harrison, and welcomed<br />
all players onto centre court at<br />
the start of the game.<br />
As part of the ANZ Future<br />
Captains competition, the two<br />
young netballers were recognised<br />
for their leadership abilities.<br />
Hailee has been playing netball<br />
for five years and would love to<br />
play professionally.<br />
Her short term goal is to<br />
keep having fun playing<br />
netball and become a leader in<br />
the sport.<br />
“My favourite part was getting<br />
to go on court and high-five the<br />
players. I also liked getting the<br />
players’ autographs. My favourite<br />
player is Erikana Pedersen<br />
because she’s fast, gets into space<br />
quickly and plays the same<br />
position as me,” she said.<br />
ANZ head of sponsorship Sue<br />
McGregor said it is passionate<br />
about supporting netball at all<br />
levels from the players practicing<br />
every weekend to top level<br />
athletes in the premiership.<br />
“That’s why we’re giving<br />
94 children from across New<br />
Zealand the chance to be a future<br />
FUTURE CAPTAINS: Hailee Max and Brie Benns met Tactix<br />
captain Jane Watson and Mystics captain Anna Harrison last<br />
week.<br />
captain and meet their sporting<br />
heroes at each of the ANZ<br />
premiership games this season.<br />
“We’re so pleased we’re able<br />
to offer this once in a lifetime<br />
opportunity to young Kiwis,<br />
and hope that offering them the<br />
SPORTS<br />
chance to meet their heroes<br />
and stand on centre court<br />
will help inspire them to keep<br />
training hard and achieve their<br />
goals.”<br />
The match saw the Mystics<br />
beat the Tactix 53-49.<br />
Bayleys, Crusaders<br />
tackle school bullying<br />
A NEW children’s book has been<br />
launched to tackle bullying head<br />
on – and it tells the story of some<br />
familiar Canterbury icons.<br />
Bayleys Canterbury and the<br />
BNZ Crusaders have teamed up<br />
to launch Ace: A Horsey Tail of<br />
Courage.<br />
Aimed at school children aged<br />
five to eight, it tells the story of<br />
Ace, a young horse who is being<br />
bullied by his peers. He dreams<br />
of becoming one of the six<br />
Crusaders Bayleys Horses which<br />
ride out at the start of every home<br />
game.<br />
The story ends well for Ace<br />
who achieves his dream, just as<br />
his real-life character did.<br />
Ace, a four-year-old<br />
thoroughbred mare was in<br />
training when the book was<br />
being written. He made his<br />
debut on the field on May 12 at<br />
AMI Stadium when the BNZ<br />
Crusaders beat the Waratahs<br />
31-29.<br />
Holly, another character in the<br />
book who stands up for Ace, is<br />
the horse that sets the pace for<br />
the others and keeps them on<br />
track, even though she’s third in<br />
line.<br />
Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage<br />
aims to encourage children to<br />
speak-up and report incidents<br />
of bullying whether they are<br />
the victims or witnesses. It has<br />
already been received well.<br />
Last year the OECD<br />
programme for international<br />
student assessment produced a<br />
report on students’ well-being.<br />
Fifteen-year-old students in 51<br />
countries were surveyed about<br />
perceived bullying. New Zealand<br />
students reported the secondhighest<br />
rate of bullying in the<br />
OECD.<br />
Bayleys Canterbury general<br />
manager Pete Whalan said he<br />
was proud to be working<br />
with the Crusaders to deliver<br />
an important message to Kiwi<br />
kids.<br />
“The Crusaders sporting<br />
prowess, combined with the<br />
team’s reputation in the wider<br />
community and the easilyapproachable<br />
persona of the<br />
Crusaders horses, will enable<br />
the anti-bullying message to be<br />
spread among the key audiences<br />
throughout the country.”<br />
The book has been written by<br />
Friday Creative’s Katy Clook, and<br />
illustrated by Kophie Hulsbosch.<br />
There is also advice in it for<br />
parents.<br />
The books can be pre-ordered<br />
on the BNZ Crusaders website,<br />
and will be sold for $20 at the<br />
Crusaders home games against<br />
the Highlanders on July 6 and the<br />
Blues on July 14.<br />
Proceeds go to Bayleys’<br />
principal charity, Make-A-Wish<br />

More health benefits<br />
with Advanced health naturally!<br />
Omega-3-PC Fish Oil The prostate is a small walnut shaped male organ located beneath<br />
It is well known how important omega-3<br />
fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated<br />
most people don’t even get a third of the<br />
recommended omega-3 fatty acids on<br />
a weekly basis. Countries with a higher<br />
amounts of omega-3 in the diet are known<br />
to have lower cardiovascular disease and<br />
in many cases better overall health. Recent<br />
research has shown inflammation to be a<br />
big part of disease and the ageing process.<br />
Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by<br />
providing essential fatty acids required by<br />
the body to heal itself and maintain good<br />
health. Fish oil supplements have become<br />
hugely popular for this reason. Until now<br />
most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty<br />
acids in triglyceride form. Fish however<br />
naturally contain omega-3 in<br />
triglyceride and phospholipid<br />
form but until recently the<br />
phospholipid form was lost due to<br />
the manufacturing process.<br />
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-<br />
3-PC sets new standards in<br />
fish oil as it contains omega-3<br />
attached to both triglycerides and<br />
phospholipids. Studies have shown<br />
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC to<br />
be far better absorbed leading to<br />
increased levels of vital omega-3<br />
fatty acids in the organs thru giving<br />
the potential for more health benefits.<br />
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC is<br />
produced from fresh wild deep sea cold<br />
water fish using a new advanced and more<br />
natural cold extraction process that better<br />
preserves the natural nutrient profile found<br />
in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP<br />
standards and is molecularly distilled to<br />
remove any containments, toxins and<br />
heavy metals like mercury.<br />
Further information on this<br />
revolutionary new fish oil and how it may<br />
benefit you is available from the Natural<br />
Health Advisers, at Marshall’s Health &<br />
Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New<br />

Improve prostate<br />
the urinary bladder and wrapped around the urethra or urinary<br />
tube. It is of little significance for most men until the late 40’s<br />
when for a large percentage of men it tends to enlarge and affect<br />
normal urination by restricting urinary flow through the urethra.<br />
This condition is known as Benign<br />
Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH. BPH reduces<br />
the ability of the bladder to evacuate<br />
completely causing common symptoms<br />
like wanting to urinate more frequently<br />
(especially annoying at night and as it<br />
affects sleep quality), difficulty starting<br />
urination, dribbling after urination and<br />
pain with urination.<br />
The word benign in BPH is very<br />
significant as it means an enlargement of<br />
the prostate that isn’t cancer. However BPH<br />
should always be diagnosed by a M.D.,<br />
as there is always the chance of prostate<br />
cancer. Once diagnosed as BPH it can often<br />
be managed quite well with herbal and<br />
nutritional remedies and without the side<br />
effects of prescription drugs used for this<br />
condition.<br />
Saw Palmetto is a herb that has been<br />
used for centuries for BPH of the prostate.<br />
A review of 18 double-blinded studies<br />
found an average improvement of 72%<br />
of BPH symptoms in Saw Palmetto<br />
users. Researchers have found Saw<br />
Palmetto to inhibit the formation of<br />
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and that<br />
DHT is the main reason for the prostate to<br />
enlarge. DHT has also been found to be a<br />
risk factor for prostate cancer and hair loss.<br />
Phellodendron amurense inner bark<br />
is another herb that has been found to<br />
protect against BPH and recent research<br />
has shown it to be protective against<br />
prostate tumor development in laboratory<br />
studies.<br />
Lycopene is a potent antioxidant with<br />
numerous health benefits including cancer<br />
and BPH protective benefits.<br />
Fatty acids from the seeds of Pumpkin,<br />
Evening Primrose and Flax have been<br />
shown to be supportive of prostate and<br />
general good health.<br />
Marshall’s Prostate Manager is a<br />
comprehensive nutritional formula<br />
supplying proven nutrients to support<br />
prostate health. Further information<br />
is available from the Natural Health<br />
Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural<br />

urinary troubles?<br />
you may need<br />
prostate manager!<br />
For many Men the prostate tends to enlarge in size as they age often<br />
restricting the flow of Urine from the bladder. This enlargement of the prostate<br />
is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH and is best confirmed by a M.D.<br />
Marshall’s Prostate Manager provides nutrients to support prostate health &<br />
healthy urinary flow in those diagnosed with BPH. It is unique in the fact the<br />
nutrients are in liquid dispersion as well as concentrated extract form.<br />
Common Symptoms of BPH:<br />

• Inability to empty the bladder completely<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get the right<br />
choice for winter<br />
Every year around about<br />
now people start to plan<br />
ahead for their winter<br />
heating needs. High on<br />
most people’s ‘must have’<br />
list is a Heat Pump. They<br />
have naturally become<br />
extremely popular because<br />
of their cheap heat and<br />
“touch of a button”<br />
convenience.<br />
Heat pumps are<br />
however a significant,<br />
long term investment, so<br />
it’s important to make the<br />
right choice.<br />
New Zealand properties tend to be of<br />
unique design and have many features that<br />
greatly affect their heating requirements.<br />
Factors such as location, orientation to<br />
the sun, room volume, heat loss surface<br />
area, and room air flow characteristics, etc.<br />
all play a major role. This means that the<br />
heat pump that is right for your friend or<br />
neighbour is not necessarily right for you.<br />
Add to that the fact that all manufacturers<br />
claim to have the best, quietest, most energy<br />
efficient, and have a multitude of constantly<br />
updating models; finding out which heat<br />
pump is best is not so straightforward.<br />
Getting the right heat pump for your<br />
home is a combination of accurate<br />
calculation of the space to be heated, taking<br />
into account all property characteristic,<br />
plus an up to date knowledge of the<br />
performance specifications of all makes<br />
and models available.<br />
This is where the local company Heat<br />
Pump Guys can help. They are fully<br />
independent heat pump specialists, and are<br />
accredited agents for all top brands. They<br />
offer an obligation-free home survey and<br />
completely unbiased advice on which heat<br />
pump is best for you.<br />
So if you are considering getting a<br />
heat pump this year, give them a call on<br />
0800 47 48 97 or visit www.heatpumpguys.<br />
co.nz and book your home assessment.<br />
What makes a great<br />
Heat Transfer System?<br />
There are a number of Heat Transfer<br />
systems on the market. Smooth-Air<br />
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU<br />
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected<br />
components to optimise the system:<br />
They use insulated duct to transfer the<br />
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.<br />
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance<br />
and number of rooms, without being noisy.<br />
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,<br />
not to skim the across the ceilings. All<br />
components are good quality - designed to<br />
operate for years without problems.<br />
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of<br />
options: One to four rooms, with or without<br />
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and<br />
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency<br />
in your house, as you are using excess<br />
heat. They have low power consumption<br />
- only 80watts for the three room system.<br />
Circulating air through the house also<br />
reduces the risk of damp.<br />
You can also choose the HTU version<br />
with downjet diffusers, which throw the<br />
warm air downwards to the floor. These<br />
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to<br />
regulate which room receives the most<br />
warm air.<br />
An average size living room requires 2-4<br />
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log<br />
burners generate heat in the region of 10<br />
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of<br />
heat which sits at high level in the heated<br />
room, usually above door level.<br />
Heat transfer units work best where very<br />
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the<br />
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate<br />
warm air around the room with no<br />
layering, are not suitable as a heat source<br />
by themselves. However, if you have both<br />
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer<br />
systems with thermostat can work very<br />
well: The heat pump stops operating once<br />
the heat from the fire has heated the room,<br />
and the heat transfer kicks in above this<br />
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the<br />
ceiling.<br />
