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 />

from the editor’s desk<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

happy to help!<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 />

• Wanting to urinate more frequently<br />

• Inability to empty the bladder completely<br />

• Difficulty starting urination<br />

• Dribbling after urination<br />

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal!<br />

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good<br />

Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used!<br />

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!<br />

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally<br />

contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />

manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better<br />

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.<br />

shown in research<br />

• Advanced new cold extraction better<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 />
