MEDBURY SCHOOL pupils 

have gained an insight to what 

life is like for refugees after they 

moved 118,082kg of rice and 

water on Friday. 

The whole school event 

‘Strength for Sudan’ had a goal 

of moving 40,000kg over 40m 

to raise funds for World Vision’s 

40-Hour Famine.

School pupil Jack 

McKenzie carries rice on 

his head as part of the 

school’s World Vision 

challenge. 

School spokeswoman Rachelle 

Mathews said this goal got 

“totally obliterated” when the 

pupils moved close to triple that 

amount. 

The pupils were sponsored per 

kilogram moved, total kilograms 

moved, or by a lump sum 

amount. 

The rice and water used was 

purchased by the school and 

will be donated to the Salvation 

Army and Christchurch City 

Mission. 

A similar event, ‘Stroll for 

Syria’, took place last year, which 

saw the school raise almost 

$23,000, the second highest 

amount raised by a group in the 

South Island. 

The event on Friday was 

run by year 8 house leaders, 

head of community service 

Amos Pilgrim, and student 

head of community service 

Sam Moorhead. Mr Pilgrim 

said community service events 

like this were fast becoming 

a highlight of the school’s 

calendar.

Quarry 

appeal 

gets 

rich-lister 

backing 

• By Anan Zaki 

FISHING MAGNATE Kypros 

Kotzikas is digging into his 

pockets to stop the controversial 

quarry in Yaldhurst. 

Mr Kotzikas, who is on the 

rich-list with 

an estimated 

wealth of $80 

million will 

help fund an 

appeal against 

Road Metals 

quarry expansion 

in the 

area. Kypros Kotzikas 

The United 

Fisheries owner lives about 2km 

from the quarry. 

Yaldhurst residents lost their 

battle to stop the quarry from 

coming within 100m of houses 

last month. 

The expansion was granted by 

an Environment Canterbury and 

city council appointed hearings 

panel. 

Residents fighting the quarry 

under the banner Yaldhurst 

Environment Group – Hau Ora 

Inc say it has filed an appeal in 

the Environment Court. It is expected 

to cost about $100,000.

POKIE MACHINES can either be a bit of

a jackpot win. 

Or a trap that drains the wallet or purse, 

leaving not enough money to feed the kids 

and pay the bills. 

On page 5 today we reveal Avonhead, Sockburn and Upper 

Riccarton had the highest spend on gaming machines in the city 

for the first three months of the year. 

The suburbs are clustered together in the Ministry of Internal

A big part of pubs and clubs revenue is the pokie machines. 

Without them some would not survive with the downstream 

affect of lost jobs. 

So they are an economic balancing act in some ways.

Facing community challenges 

In Brief 


THE NEW chairwoman of 

the Ilam and Upper Riccarton 

Residents Association has 

students firmly in her sights. 

Sue Chamberlain has lived in 

the area for 30 years and knows 

what it takes to deal with out of 

control parties. She was elected 

chairwoman on Wednesday. 

“When students move in, we 

let them know who we are and 

what we do, communication is 

always important,” she said. 

Out of control parties were still 

a big problem, but the residents 

often shut them down by calling 

noise control, Mrs Chamberlain 

said. 

“You get the odd occasional 

night where rubbish bins are 

tipped over and Waimairi Rd in 

particular. This time of the year 

is pretty quiet though.” 

The parties often took place at 

the beginning of the year due to 

the influx of new students, she 

said. 

Aside from students, Mrs 

Chamberlain hoped the city 

council would address flooding 

and littering in the area. 

“Since the earthquakes, we 

have been getting flooding on 

Lynfield Ave and Kiltie St. Leaves 

often block the drains and the 

council doesn’t have resources to 

clean-up,” she said. 

Mrs Chamberlain, a retired 

special needs teacher, has frequently 

dealt with local issues as 

a member of the neighbourhood 

watch and saw the residents’ association 

as an obvious next step. 

“The residents used to ring me 

up [asking for help] and I used to 

go out and find information. So I 

thought by joining [the association], 

I could take all their issues 

to the meetings and go from 

there,” Mrs Chamberlain said. 

Representing the residents of 

Ilam and Upper Riccarton would 

be as far as she would go, and 

had no intention of running for 

the community board, she said. 

Another challenge the residents 

faced was changing demographics, 

she said. 

“There’s more elderly in the 

area than there ever used to be. 

Families are moving out of big 

houses and you get half a dozen 

students moving in to these big 

houses.

HUNTER 

“So you’ve got to maintain a 

good relationship with a lot of 

students and it’s quite hard to do 

for some people so they come to 

us with their problems and we 

will go and talk to the students,” 

Mrs Chamberlain said. 

She also paid tribute to former 

chairman Phil McGoldrick, who 

moved to the central city. 

“He was a fantastic representative 

of our community, he will be 

helping me with the role for my 

first two months.” 

MITRE 10 PLANS UNCLEAR 

Plans for the former Mitre 10 site 

in Bishopdale Village Mall are 

still unclear. Last week, the Western 

News reported that businessman 

Doug Spence had purchased 

the site. Bishopdale Centre Association 

for Bishopdale Village 

Businesses chairwoman Amanda 

Nuttall said the organisation is 

looking forward to seeing the site, 

which has sat empty for two years, 

be re-developed. “Hopefully it 

will help re-invigorate the area 

and draw more people here. Mr 

Spence has some concept plans 

being drawn up at the moment 

which I am sure he will share 

with us as soon as he can”. 

STAKEHOLDER RECOGNISED 

The Airport Business Park 

has been formally recognised 

as a stakeholder in the battle 

over car parking in Russley. 

The business park wrote to the 

Fendalton-Waimiari-Harewood 

Community Board last month 

alleging it was not consulted over 

parking restrictions imposed in 

the area last year. Community 

Board chairman Sam MacDonald 

spoke with city council staff and 

believed the business park was 

not consulted. He said formally 

recognising the business park 

as a stakeholder would ensure it 

would be engaged.

Veterinary practice 

EXCITING NEW TECHNOLOGY 

AT MCMAsTEr & HEAp VETs 

Veterinary science is an ever changing, 

progressive and exciting field to try to keep 

abreast of. Over the past year Steve and I 

have invested in an Ultrasound machine 

that is of human quality and we also have 

digital radiography, which is amazing. Now 

I can zoom in on joints and bones to look 

for a lesion. We are also moving very shortly 

to a new in house laboratory system which 

will allow us to perform many more blood 

tests in clinic. 

Recently we made the 

huge leap to change 

our veterinary software 

system and integrate 

a digital system for 

patient monitoring, 

both our intensive 

care, hospital and 

surgical patients, 

therefore getting 

rid of pen and paper completely. Our old 

system had served us well for 15 years but 

it was high time to go “cloud based”. Last 

week we went “Live” with EzyVet software 

and actually its not as difficult as I thought 

it would be. I’ve learnt you just need an 

open mind as any old dog can learn new 

tricks. Its actually been quite fun. 

prescription foods, arthritic medications 

etc. Once we get going with the system we 

will have ipads out at reception for you to 

electronically consent to a procedure and 

update your details for us. Our database will 

be more accurate and it will speed up the 

process. 

Once you have consented to a procedure, 

your pets details and what its in for gets 

transferred digitally to the treatment 

area and goes up live on one of our TV 

monitors. As certain tasks are completed 

like blood tests, radiographs, sedations 

given, then the TV monitor ticks these tasks 

off. Its been quite hard resisting a paper 

chart but we have less clutter and mess 

and more accurate means of recording 

every little detail now. 

I’m really proud of how our 20+ staff have 

embraced this challenge and tried hard to 

learn all the features these new systems 

have to offer. Last 

Tuesday I had two 

knee surgeries in dogs 

to do and Jaimee 

my nurse managed 

the ipad monitoring 

and charting so well. 

Everything entered 

on the Smartflow

CHALLENGE: The Yaldhurst Environment Group’s appeal of the Road Metals 

quarry expansion has been boosted by rich-lister Kypros Kotzikas. 

Quarry appeal gets 

backing from rich-lister 

•From page 1 

The group’s chairwoman Soraya 

Nicholas said the appeal was filed 

yesterday. 

The group originally intended to file it 

last week, but was delayed due to administrative 

hold ups. 

She met with Mr Kotzikas at the end of 

last month. 

“He was a bit shocked at how some of 

the quarries have been creeping closer 

towards everyone. 

“He was really angry and surprised at 

what the city council and ECan have allowed 

to go ahead,” Ms Nicholas said. 

Mr Kotzikas is part of 24 households 

sharing the cost of the appeal. “I think we 

can comfortably cover the costs. Obviously 

we hope some of our higher profile 

supporters will be able to help with any 

shortfall,” Ms Nicholas said. 

Mr Kotzikas arrived 

in Christchurch in 

1962 from Cyprus as 

an 18-year-old and 

worked at a fish ’n’ chip 

shop in Aranui before 

going into wholesale 

fisheries. 

Another “highprofile” 

businessman 

had indicated he would Soraya Nicholas 

support the Yaldhurst 

residents’ appeal, but Ms Nicholas said she 

could not say who he was until his support 

was confirmed. 

There are loads of benefits with EzyVet, one 

of them being better faster communication 

with you, our client. We now can easily 

text or email ( your preference) your 

surgical and consultation appointment 

times. We will progress into sending you 

reminders, if you want, for the products 

you regularly purchase from us like flea 

and worm treatments, vaccinations, 

the EzyVet software system, therefore 

freeing up our time considerably. 

Our field is so challenging and exciting and 

there is always something new to consider 

having to improve the level of service we 

can offer. Steve and I have got big plans 

in the next 12 months to build onto our 

existing Vet Practice, therefore offering 

more services to our clients and providing 

more space to our ever growing database 

of clients and their pets. We will keep you 

updated when building starts but we are 

hoping by the end of this year. 

I’d say “WATCH this SPACE……..

High number of pokie players in west 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

and Anan Zaki 

AVONHEAD, SOCKBURN and 

Upper Riccarton had the highest 

spend on gaming machines in 

the city for the first three months 

of the year. 

The suburbs, which are clustered 

together in the Ministry of 

Internal Affairs’ latest statistics 

from January to March, have 72 

non-casino gaming machines in 

four venues. 

The total gaming machine proceeds 

for the three months was 

$1.56 million. 

The venues included Avonhead 

Tavern, Bush Inn Tavern, Racecourse 

Hotel and Monteith’s on 

Merrin St. 

Monteith’s Merrin St manager 

Emma Waddle said gaming machine 

users at the bar were often 

regulars who lived in the area. 

Addicted users were given 

advice but banning was rare 

and other factors like aggressive 

behaviour often played a part in 

people being banned. 

“We banned a machine user 

this year because he was verbally 

abusive to our staff over the use 

of machines,” Ms Waddle said. 

“At the moment we’ve only got 

one lady [who is addicted], we’ve 

offered her a booklet [to seek 

help]. We try to stop her from 

coming here,” Ms Waddle said. 

If staff felt the gamers were 

spending beyond their means, 

they offered to return money, she 

said. 

Salvation Army Oasis Centre 

For Problem Gambling public 

health worker Laura Hay said 

addictions were not higher in the 

areas with higher spend. 

She said gambling addiction 

was spread across the city. 

But there was no way for gaming 

venues to send an addicted 

person away for help. 

“Venues are able to refer clients 

to us at any time, but they can 

only make the suggestion to the 

person, they cannot force them to 

come in to talk to us. 

“The client has to want to 

address their gambling issue 

themselves,” Miss Hay said. 

The figures come as a new 

system, called Guardian, is being 

trialled in 15 bars and clubs 

nationally, which scans faces of 

people who enter gaming rooms. 

It then checks them against a 

cloud-based database of people 

who have voluntarily excluded

St Ninian’s 

Presbyterian 

Church’s 

centenary 

was held 

over Queen’s 

Birthday 

weekend 

The church clerk Pam 

McKechie writes about the 

celebrations 

St Ninian’s Presbyterian 

Church, Riccarton, celebrated its 

centenary over Queen’s Birthday 

weekend with a social time on 

Saturday, June 2, between 4pm 

and 6pm, followed by a church 

service and a lunch on Sunday, 

June 3. 

The church hall had been 

decorated with flowers, large 

banners and lectern falls. Many 

old photos were displayed and 

memorabilia were on show. Over 

170 people attended over the 

two days, some travelling from 

all over New Zealand and from 

Australia. 

At the service of worship, four 

previous ministers with the present 

minister, Reverend Yvonne 

Smith, shared in leading worship. 

They reminisced about their 

time at St Ninian’s, and how it 

had influenced their paths. They 

congratulated the congregation

on taking a stand on environmental 

and social issues such as 

inclusivity. 

Families reunited and shared 

special memories with old 

friends. During the lunch a 

centenary cake was cut by Peter 

O’Malley, who has been at St 

Ninian’s since he was a baby – 

almost 80 years. Several people 

attending were over 90-years-old 

and there were several three 

generational family groups. 

Stories of Sunday school and 

bible class activities were exchanged, 

Girls and Boys Brigade 

past members were looking at 

photos and name tags were useful 

in jogging memories. 

People have said it was a great 

opportunity to see friends from 

the past and present, and a 

memorable event in the life of 

our church. People said it was 

moving to be back in the church 

that has played a big part in their 

lives over the years.

Badminton development 


A NEW multi-million dollar 

international badminton centre 

is set to open in Wigram next 

month. 

The facility, named the 

Zhu Badminton Centre, 

will have 12 courts that meet 

height and flooring standards 

required for international competitions. 

Set to open mid-July, it is 

owned by 21-year-old Chris Zhu 

and his Chinese family who 

have been in Christchurch for 17 

years. He hoped the new facility 

would help grow the sport in 

the city and attract players from 

around the country. 

Mr Zhu did not want to 

specify how much it cost, but 

said it was a “multi-million dollar” 

facility. 

The opening of the new centre 

on Aidanfield Dr would mean 

the city now has two purposebuilt 

badminton halls, the other 

being the VR Skellerup Badminton 

Hall in Wainoni. 

Said Mr Zhu: “One of the 

main reasons why we ended up 

choosing Wigram was because 

it is a growing part of town. [It 

is] easily accessible and plus it is 

great to have a hall on each side 

of town so people all around the 

city can have a chance to play.” 

He said junior player numbers

standard badminton centre in Wigram. 

have been declining in Canterbury 

and hoped the new facility 

would boost numbers. 

“The beauty of badminton is 

it’s such a simple sport to just 

play casually for fun but at the 

same time hard to master as 

it requires the physical best of 

one’s self at high levels of play,” 

Mr Zhu said. 

His father Peter Zhu hoped to 

make the city a regional badminton 

destination. “We hope one 

day Christchurch becomes one 

of the major badminton cities in 

the Oceania like Auckland, Melbourne 

and Sydney,” he said.

The family unsuccessfully 

applied to waive a $150,000 city 

council development contribution 

fee last year, in exchange 

for 500 hours of free junior 

badminton sessions a year for 

school pupils. 

A development contribution is 

a cash or land contribution from 

developers to aid the city council 

in catering for additional demand 

on infrastructure because 

of the new developments. 

Court hire rates are yet to be 

finalised, but the prices would 

“as cheap as possible” Mr Zhu 

said.

on Tuesday to share some insights 

and challenges he faced in Antarctica, 

while he choreographed a

shot to fame in the United 

Kingdom in 2015, when he 

toured his show Kapa Haka Tale

Antarctica. 

During his visit, pupils got to 

see the ballet film, tried on cold 

weather gear and performed 

dance moves with Baker. 

Curious pupils also had a 

chance to ask Baker some questions

Model School and Ao Tawhiti 

Unlimited. 

The school events were organised 

by organised by Antarctica

No need to get wound up, Ilam 

Watchmakers are here to help 

Geoff and Michelle Butler started Ilam 

Watchmakers on the corner of Waimari 

and Maidstone Road back in 2001 and in 

all that time, this family business has been 

too busy to look back. 

However, this year is full of milestones 

for them. Geoff is celebrating 40 years since 

he entered the trade as an apprentice, and 

they have just successfully renovated and 

repaired the historic Arts Centre clock, 

which has been out of action for some time. 

“We had to bring part of it back to the 

workshop, give it a complete overhaul, 

service and reassemble it,” explains Geoff. 

Now, the clock is working fine and back in 

its rightful place, symbolising yet another 

step in Christchurch’s road to post-earthquake 

recovery. 

However, the team at Ilam Watchmakers 

is usually more down-to-earth, providing a 

service for the public and jewellers across 

New Zealand. They carry out all kinds of 

repairs and servicing on watches from replacing 

a battery in budget-friendly fashion 

watch to taking care of Rolex, Omega and 

other higher end watches worth thousands 

of dollars. Every customer gets the same 

friendly service because the team knows 

that each timepiece means something to 

the owner. They also sell watches including 

Boccia Titanium, Citizen, Olympic, colourful 

Ice-Watch, Pulsar, Casio Sports watches, 

and the current hot-fashion item – pocket 

watches, in this case by the prestigious firm 

Royal London. 

Although they started out with only Geoff 

and Michelle working in the shop plus occasional 

help from their parents, they now 

have six full-time watch and clock repairers 

including their apprentice plus three parttime 

technicians as well as an administration 

team which has grown to four, and 

even their teenage children get involved. 

This talented team can also turn their 

skills to working on clocks of all ages from 

precious heirlooms to affordable modern 

pieces that would benefit from an internal 

upgrade to keep them looking great and 

working well for years to come. They sell 

beautiful clocks, too, including carriage 

clocks and barometers which are great as 

gifts to mark a special occasion. 

Above all, they are proud of their friendliness. 

Come once for the services they provide, 

but come again and again because you 

know they will go that extra mile for their 

clients. “We see it as an investment in our 

customers,” they explain. 

Find them at 207 Waimairi Road, Ilam

Heale gets national hockey call-up 

• By Jacob Page 

HORNBY HOCKEY player 

Llewellyn Heale has turned the 

skills he learnt on a concrete 

tennis court with wooden sticks 

and tennis ball into a New 

Zealand under-21 call-up. 

It is the first time, Heale has 

been part of a national squad, 

with 30 players selected for a 

camp in Hawkes Bay from July 

16 to 20. 

That squad will be cut to a 

travelling squad for the Sultan 

of Johor Cup in Malaysia in October 

before a test series against 

Australia in December. 

Heale, a midfielder, has captained 

teams throughout the agegrades 

and said he will relish the 

chance to be part of a national 

team environment. 

SPORTS 

“It’s a really exciting opportunity 

to learn loads and I hope to 

make the most of it,” he said. 

The 19-year-old has come 

through the Canterbury agegroup 

system, playing Hatch Cup 

twice, under-15s, regionals and 

under-21s. 

The former Christ’s College 

captain moved to the Hornby 

club this season, eager to take on 

more responsibility. 

“Hornby gave me the best 

chance to be a leader and have 

the greatest impact on team success,” 

he said. 

Heale described himself as a 

pass-oriented player who likes to 

play at pace with vision up the 

field. 

Heale is one of seven Canterbury 

players in the squad with 

Louis Beckert, Lawrence Darling, 

Moss Jackson, Declan Keaney, 

Sam Lane, Harry Lawson and 

Gus Wakeling also part of the 

camp. 

The squad was selected following 

the national under-21 tournament 

in May where selectors 

put together the 2018 national 

programme with the main focus 

being the transtasman series at 

the end of the year. 

NATIONAL HONOURS: 

Llewellyn Heale has got his 

first national call-up with 

the New Zealand under-21 

hockey squad. 

Strikeforce boxers 

claim two titles at 

Golden Gloves 

• By Jacob Page 

STRIKEFORCE BOXERS had 

success at the South Island 

Golden Gloves at the Cashmere 

Club. 

Two of the four Halswell-based 

club’s boxers came away with 

titles over Queen’s Birthday 

weekend. 

Coby Mago stepped up a division 

to the 44kg cadet novice 

final and got a points victory

by fighting a scientific fight. 

Mrcus Piddick also won his 

48kg cadet novice final by referee 

stoppage in round two of three 

over Fedows gym’s Oleg Kurochkin. 

Jack Morgan gave everything 

he had and emptied his energy 

reserves in the process during a 

points decision loss in his bout. 

The club’s top prospect Michael 

Maireroa, gave away 20 

bouts experience to get a fight at 

the event and coach Steve Brown 

was thrilled with his “clean and 

precise” efforts against Aaron 

Lay from Gore in their 91kg open 

contest. 

The 2017 North Island Golden 

Gloves champion is still aiming 

to compete at the Australian 

nationals later this year. 

He will look to go one better 

than his silver medal 12 months 

ago. 

“He showed great movement, 

good punch selection, and a solid 

chin,” Brown said. 

“I’m extremely happy with 

Mike’s performance considering 

we are progressing down to lightheavyweight 

81kg. 

“Mike gave away more than 

5kg at the weigh in,” he said. 

“We are well on-track to performing 

well at light-heavyweight 

come nationals.” 

The South Island Golden 

gloves saw 45 bouts split across 

two sessions. 

It is just the start of a big year 

of boxing in Christchurch with 

the NZ champs at the Hornby 

Working Men’s Club in October.

TE PAE ON 

TRACK FOR 2020 

OPENING 

01 Weighing an impressive 50 tonnes, 

the 50 metre long main steel 

roof truss for the auditorium was 

recently secured into place. 

02 The 1400 seat auditorium is 

designed to be flexible and 

configurable so different events 

can be held simultaneously. 

03 Looking out over Victoria Square, 

Te Pae’s curved façade reflects 

Canterbury’s mountain and 

braided river landscapes. 

Construction on Te Pae, Christchurch’s 

new convention centre, is progressing 

rapidly. This venue opens Christchurch 

to the world. Having a central city facility 

purpose-built for large-scale events allows 

opportunities to promote our local strengths 

and internationally respected expertise in 

sectors such as primary production, earth 

sciences, medical research and software 

innovation, to an international audience. 

01 

Already we are expecting 3000 visitors 

for events in the month of October 2020, 

soon after Te Pae is scheduled to open. 

Business event travellers typically 

spend twice as much as leisure tourists 

and ChristchurchNZ estimates 

our city is currently missing out on 

$90M in direct investment each year 

by not having such a facility. 

Christchurch has long been considered a 

great city for hosting business events. Te Pae 

will ensure we are once again able to welcome 

visitors with an experience like no other.

From a phenomenal riverfront location 

in the central city, to world-class 

purpose-built facilities, Te Pae offers 

an experience like no other. 

One meaning of Te Pae is ‘gathering 

place’. Much more than a traditional 

convention centre, this iconic new 

facility will indeed be just that - 

a gathering place for the 21st century, 

where locals and visitors alike come 

together to share, learn, be hosted 

and entertained. As well as holding 

conferences and meetings, you’ll be able 

to attend expos, public presentations, 

galas and other special events there. 

An iconic landmark in our flourishing 

cityscape, influences of our landscape 

are interwoven into the striking 

building design, making it a physical 

representation of New Zealand, our 

culture and the stories of our people.

Hidden treasures, right in 

the centre of Riccarton 

Natural Attraction Antiques and Treasure started life as a hair 

salon (Natural Attraction Hair Stylists) over 30 years ago and has 

gradually transitioned over to an antique shop with four registered 

dealers - Sue, Geoff, Steve and Uma – providing expertise and 

unique things. Part of its ongoing charm is that two of the dealers 

are still also hairdressers so some days you will find clients having 

their hair done in the salon section of the shop while others are 

browsing the eclectic displays of jewellery, curios, fabrics and 

porcelain. 

They cover a wide range of traditional antiques, decorative items 

and plenty of interesting collectables making it the perfect place if 

you want a special gift for any occasion or have been searching 

for that piece to complete a collection. Prices are reasonable and 

range from $5-$500 with new stock brought in every week. If they 

don’t have what you are looking for, they are always happy to try 

and source specific pieces, taking their treasure-hunt far and wide. 

You can also try their main shop, The Ferry Antique Centre at 282 

Ferry Road, Waltham. 

Located at the Windmill Centre, 184 Clarence Street, there is 

easy parking at the door and the shop is near to the well-known 

“Ed Hopper” coffee shop - they recommend that customers check 

out the coffees and legendary date scones.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Protect your face 

during winter weather 

The wind is howling outside, and your 

face is taking the brunt of the winter 

weather. Cold, chapped, dehydrated skin 

is depleting your face of its moisture and 

youthful glow. 

Plus, with the high levels of chlorination 

in the city water, skin damage has taken 

place even though the levels 

of chlorine are being lowered. 

Too little, too late as it doesn’t 

matter what age a person is, 

the short-term effect on the 

body’s skin has been harmful 

especially on the face which can 

tremendously benefit from the 

ADURO LED Light Therapy 

machine. 

NASA uses LED light therapy 

to heal wounds in space and on 

earth, imagine what it can do 

for your skin. 

Acne a concern? As it thrives 

in harsh environments like dry 

weather or hormonal imbalance 

and can be very painful and 

uncomfortable, plus acne leaves 

a person’s skin looking worn, 

leather looking and scarred. 

Charmaine and her team to 

the rescue. With more than two decades 

of experience behind them, the clinic 

offers a variety of services including Teeth 

Whitening, Anti-Acne, Anti-Aging, Age 

Spots, Eczema, Psoriasis, Uneven Skin 

Tone, Rejuvenation treatments and so 

much more. 

BEFORE 

AFTER 

Amazing results – before and after photos 

supplied by a happy client, who has been 

battling acne all her life 

Their technical LED Light Therapy facial 

machine is having astounding results by 

infusing nourishment back into the skin 

pores with the natural but active Mismo 

skincare range. 

For acne, the LED machine helps with 

anti-bacterial treatments, which makes 

puss pools smaller and smaller 

over time, so the acne won’t be as 

visible on the face. Then as soon 

as the acne has started lessening, 

switch to the Acne Anti-Scarring 

treatment program. 

The LED machine also triggers 

the regrowth of collagen which 

smooths out wrinkles and lessens 

facial line severity, Age Spots & 

Scars 

In addition to the LED laser 

machine, the clinic is expanding 

its services and relocating to a 

new facility in mid-June. 

“The expansion and new 

location is exciting. Our team 

looks forward to providing these 

new services to our customers 

to enhance their lifestyle,” owner 

Charmaine smiles. 

“We appreciate our customer 

loyalty and for the opportunity to serve 

them as we started with the Sparklewhite 

teeth whitening system, which we still 

offer, and then expanded into the LED 

Light Therapy and facial treatments and 

now have expanded our beauty services, 

products, and treatments at our new 

location.” 

Don’t neglect your skin or body this 

winter, plus its always nice to have a 

pearly white smile. Check out their 

services at www. turnbacktimebeauty.
