Skellerup site prompts investigation<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

CITY COUNCIL staff are<br />

investigating whether changes<br />

can be made to the District Plan<br />

to increase a noise buffer between<br />

residents and industrial activities.<br />

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board requested<br />

staff look into it after concerns<br />

about a scrap metal company operating<br />

from the former Skellerup<br />

site in Woolston.<br />

National Steel has occupied part<br />

of the site since January and began<br />

crushing vehicles in late February.<br />

Between then and March 22 the<br />

city council received eight complaints<br />

about the noise.<br />

An investigation found most<br />

noise levels complied with the<br />

District Plan. But city councillor<br />

Yani Johanson said the District<br />

Plan was too “submissive” and<br />

meant the community had no say.<br />

“I think personally there’s a real<br />

need for an industrial buffer.”<br />

The city council is unable to<br />

change the District Plan until the<br />

Government revokes the Canterbury<br />

Earthquakes Order 2014,<br />

which dictated what was in it.<br />

Another<br />

bid to<br />

deal with<br />

estuary’s<br />

dying<br />

trees<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

THE Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board has met with<br />

an aborist to resolve the issue of<br />

dying trees at the South Brighton<br />

Domain estuary edge.<br />

The board visited South New<br />

Brighton and met with a city<br />

council arborist on Friday in<br />

a bid to fast forward a plan to<br />

remove the risk they pose.<br />

The board previously had<br />

concerns the trees were at risk of<br />

falling over.<br />

The arborist said on Friday<br />

about one or two trees pose that<br />

risk and if they fall, they will fall<br />

into the estuary.<br />

It has asked for a report from<br />

city council staff for a resolution<br />

and to find out how many trees<br />

will need to be removed, when<br />

they need to be removed and the<br />

cost.<br />

The city council decided last<br />

year to address the erosion issue<br />

as part of the Southshore and<br />

South New Brighton Regeneration<br />

Strategy.<br />

Call to fix Northshore structures<br />

PROBLEM-SOLVING: Northshore<br />

Residents’ Association<br />

chairwoman Jayne Mark in front<br />

of a structure which needs<br />

maintanance at the corner of<br />

Aston Drive and Larnach St.<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE NORTHSHORE Residents’<br />

Association is trying solve the<br />

mystery of who is responsible<br />

for maintaining the run down<br />

sculpture s and structures in its<br />

area.<br />

The residents’ association has<br />

turned to the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board, which has<br />

requested an<br />

update from the<br />

city council to<br />

clarify who is<br />

responsible for<br />

the maintenance<br />

work.<br />

The structures<br />

are located at the<br />

corner of Aston<br />

Drive and Larnach<br />

St, opposite Aston Reserve, and<br />

at Eastwood Reserve, Sandpiper<br />

Pl and the north end of Eastwood<br />

Rise.<br />

They feature plants and<br />

sculptures with the names<br />

of different areas imprinted<br />

on them. It is estimated the<br />

structures are between 16 to<br />

20-years-old.<br />

The residents’ association<br />

has been trying to get them<br />

maintained for several years.<br />

Its chairwoman Jayne Mark<br />

said she understands the<br />

maintenance work may not seem<br />

like an urgent problem for the<br />

city council, considering all the<br />

other issues it has to deal with.<br />

However, she said it does<br />

affect the look of the suburb<br />

and ensuring the structures<br />

are maintained keeps the area<br />

looking nice and tidy.<br />

“Eventually, like anything,<br />

they need<br />

maintenance<br />

and repair.<br />

They need<br />

a bit of replastering,<br />

repainting<br />

and<br />

planting,” Mrs<br />

Mark said.<br />

The board’s<br />

chairwoman<br />

Kim Money said she did not<br />

think the structures had been<br />

maintained since they were built.<br />

“First impressions are always<br />

important. When you have got<br />

lovely structures like that at the<br />

entrance of our area, it is nice to<br />

keep them spruced up,” she said.<br />

you think the structures<br />

Students living in Shirley,<br />

FREEDOM CAMPING<br />

The city council has responded<br />

to 20 complaints about freedom<br />

camping in Marine Pde opposite<br />

Thomson Park, New Brighton,<br />

between December and May. The<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board requested information on<br />

the frequency of enforcement<br />

visits to the site. The city council<br />

also started a schedule of<br />

monitoring the area for two days<br />

a week in January. Community<br />

board chairwoman Kim Money<br />

said the board requested the<br />

information because it wanted<br />

to see if the area is being visited<br />

often enough by enforcement<br />

staff and if freedom campers are<br />

abiding by the rules.<br />

Canterbury’s decision to<br />

Ellen Hoy – They want to<br />

LIGHTS: The historic New Brighton’s Clock Tower may be<br />

floodlit.<br />

make sure the buses link up with<br />

each other. I used to catch the 135<br />

from Brighton where I got off the<br />

60. Going toward Burwood was<br />

fine, the buses linked. Coming<br />

back I would get to Brighton and<br />

miss the 60 by 1min.<br />

Pamela Ellen – Real shame,<br />

use the 135 bus quite often on<br />

route to Burwood Hospital, my<br />

doctor. As a car-less person will<br />

make travelling to these places<br />

quite difficult. Also will make<br />

access difficult to Brighton to do<br />

my shopping.<br />

Jason Tones – So hospitals<br />

with no parking and hospitals<br />

with no bus stops. I’m sure we<br />

could save a tonne of money and<br />

just rip up the roads.<br />

Think of all the productive<br />

farmland, I mean it’s not like we<br />

have a great plain nearby that<br />

would make great . . . oh wait.<br />

Neil Langdon – So, Brighton<br />

gets left out in the cold again.<br />

Brenda Te Koeti – That’s bizarre.<br />

Why wouldn’t you provide<br />

a bus to the hospital?<br />

Allison Grant – How stupid.<br />

A reader respond to an<br />

article about the New<br />

Brighton Clock Tower<br />

potentially being floodlit<br />

Brian Donovan – Brilliant<br />

idea to light the clock tower. It is a<br />

symbol of New Brighton and has<br />

been for many years. Therefore<br />

it needs to be a night focus and<br />

as New Brighton rebuilds there<br />

will be a night life which it will<br />

become part of. A simple but very<br />

effective way of highlighting an<br />

area which will have hot pools to<br />

go with children’s playground,<br />

pier, library and the beach. Go<br />

with it.<br />

Readers respond<br />

to the city council<br />

recommendation to remove<br />

the pedestrian crossing<br />

on Stanmore Rd after<br />

more than 500 people<br />

signed a petition for safety<br />

improvements<br />

Leeann Rodgers – I think<br />

getting rid of the crossing and<br />

putting lights at Stanmore Rd<br />

and Avalon St is a mistake. The<br />

lights and/or reducing speed will<br />

impact on Stanmore Rd negatively.<br />

It will block traffic in the small<br />

streets, such as Forth St, and<br />

traffic will come to a stand still.<br />

My suggestion is cheap and easy<br />

– repaint and/or put in a speed<br />

bump with a crossing on it. That’s<br />

all it needs. Not many people use<br />

the crossing and Gillian Sheard<br />

only got so many signatures by<br />

thrusting her petition under people’s<br />

noses and telling them it’s a<br />

good cause so just sign it.<br />

Disabled Persons<br />

Assembly Christchurch and<br />

Districts president Philip<br />

Haythornthwaite – I have<br />

been re-reading the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong>,<br />

dated June 19, and it would be<br />

very annoying and distressing<br />

for the Stanmore Rd zebra<br />

crossing at The Sideline Sports<br />

Bar to be removed, especially<br />

for the elderly and people with<br />

disabilities who need to get across<br />

Stanmore Rd.<br />

The fact that city council staff<br />

surveyed the zebra crossing in<br />

“August” as stated in your article<br />

meant that the survey referred to<br />

must be from August 2017, which<br />

is well out-of-date for a current<br />

petition of any form. The major<br />

problem is that both pedestrians<br />

and motorists are not observant<br />

enough of what is going on;<br />

pedestrians do not honour the<br />

‘green cross code’ which is very<br />

simple: Look right, look left, look<br />

right again. If all is clear, cross<br />

the road.<br />

Many pedestrians just step out<br />

onto the road without looking,<br />

presuming that a car that is only<br />

a metre or two away can and will<br />

slam their brakes on.<br />

They cannot do this in time.<br />

Motorists also think it is their<br />

right to race across the crossing<br />

in front of the pedestrian, or to<br />

try to. Your picture shows the<br />

north-bound car well forward<br />

of the safety stopping line. What<br />

is needed here is for everyone<br />

to remember that zebra crossings<br />

are controlled by people’s<br />

behaviour and for all parties to<br />

respect each other as they use<br />

the crossing.<br />

Darren Bakker – Obviously<br />

pedestrians don’t matter. The<br />

city council only cares about cyclists.<br />

Fourteen people per hour,<br />

that’s more usage than most of<br />

those stupid cycle lanes.<br />

Angela Toomey – Sad<br />

response from the city council<br />

if its only solution is to remove<br />

the crossing. The city has a duty<br />

of care to all users and this response<br />

is reneging on that. Why<br />

are the police not putting a<br />

car there for a day to monitor<br />

the traffic behaviour with this<br />

crossing? Issue a few tickets to<br />

careless drivers and watch the<br />

attitude change. That in itself<br />

is a deterrent for poor driving<br />

behaviour . . . surely this is the<br />

issue if there are near misses<br />

every day?<br />

What communication had<br />

been done with police on this issue?<br />

Surely the city council and<br />

the Ministry of Transport can<br />

communicate and collaborate<br />

on this, even put cameras up<br />

like the red light cameras?<br />

It is clear in all literature that<br />

with this type of crossing drivers<br />

must stop when someone is<br />

waiting to cross. Are there large<br />

signs leading up to both sides<br />

of crossing warning of a major<br />

pedestrian crossing ahead? Perhaps<br />

that signage could be put<br />

up just like they do to alert risk<br />

areas on roads?<br />

The rules must be enforceable<br />

by police under dangerous<br />

driving, surely, as you can fail a<br />

driving test for not adhering to<br />

those rules. Does Fair Go need<br />

to do a show on driver education<br />

of pedestrian crossings and adequacy<br />

of councils and Ministry<br />

of Transport implementation of<br />

this?<br />

Many of these deaths and<br />

injuries could be prevented if<br />

drivers took more care when<br />

using our roads. Please look out<br />

for pedestrians whenever you’re<br />

behind the wheel.<br />

Another bid to deal with estuary’s trees<br />

•From page 1<br />

But Ms Money said the strategy<br />

will not be released until<br />

March next year and it is too long<br />

to wait.<br />

City councillor David East said<br />

there could be 80 trees that are<br />

dead, dying or at risk of falling<br />

over.<br />

“Unfortunately if we had<br />

repaired the estuary edge over<br />

a year ago, a lot of these trees<br />

wouldn’t have died,” he said.<br />

Cr East said he is also concerned<br />

a replanting/replacement<br />

writes<br />

about the<br />

city council<br />

setting aside<br />

$170,000 in the Long Term<br />

Plan for its community<br />

facilities network plan<br />

A COUPLE of months back,<br />

I stood before the city council<br />

asking it to consider setting<br />

aside funds in the Long Term<br />

Plan for a community facility in<br />

Dallington/Burwood/Avondale.<br />

The Dallington Residents Association<br />

didn’t make a submission<br />

to the LTP expecting the<br />

city council would give us money<br />

for a community centre – what<br />

we were aiming for was getting a<br />

conversation started about community<br />

facilities in the east.<br />

I think the news that the city<br />

council is committing $170,000<br />

for a “community facilities network<br />

plan” is great. This means<br />

the city council will take a look<br />

at all the facilities across the city,<br />

their condition, if they are still<br />

needed, and where the gaps are.<br />

I am confident that this will be<br />

good for Dallington, Burwood<br />

part of the report requested from<br />

the arborist.<br />

In January <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

reported a 30m tree with rotten<br />

roots toppled into the Avon River<br />

and sunk a Shirley Boys’ High<br />

School rowing boat. No one was<br />

injured.<br />

After the earthquakes, the city<br />

council developed the South<br />

New Brighton Reserves Management<br />

Plan and a development<br />

plan which aims to protect and<br />

enhance the cultural, ecological,<br />

landscape and recreational values<br />

of the reserves.<br />

The board has requested another<br />

meeting with city council<br />

and Avondale – it’s obvious to us<br />

that we’ve been missing out for<br />

some time now.<br />

So, while it’s not an announcement<br />

for the new community<br />

centre our neighbourhood desperately<br />

needs, it’s a step in the<br />

right direction.<br />

What I have observed about<br />

the allocation of resources generally,<br />

and particularly in postquake<br />

Christchurch, is that those<br />

who squawk loudest seem to get<br />

the most. We don’t have lawyers<br />

and consultants that can argue<br />

on our behalf for what we need,<br />

staff over erosion at the estuary<br />

and is hoping to meet again this<br />

week, Ms Money said.<br />

“We are losing land which is<br />

just unacceptable,” she said.<br />

Organisations in the area have<br />

previously raised concerns over<br />

the issue, with the South Brighton<br />

Motor Camp funding its own<br />

flood protection to protect the<br />

future of the camp.<br />

MEETING<br />

PLACE:<br />

Residents<br />

want a<br />

community<br />

centre in<br />

Dallington/<br />

Burwood/<br />

Avondale.<br />

so this network plan will speak<br />

for us. It will give us a solid foundation<br />

to work from, and a road<br />

map for getting what is needed in<br />

the right place.<br />

The Dallington Residents<br />

Association talk a lot about how<br />

we can achieve our lofty goal<br />

of a community centre for our<br />

residents, and this is tangible evidence<br />

that we are not just talking<br />

to ourselves.<br />

We turned up at the city council’s<br />

Long Term Plan submission<br />

process with no expectation that<br />

we would be listened to, so I was<br />

very happy to read in the mayor’s<br />

recommendations that we were<br />

specifically mentioned.<br />

It makes all the volunteer time<br />

and energy our association committees<br />

have put into this process<br />

seem worthwhile. It might not<br />

happen overnight, but I believe it<br />

will happen.<br />

Godwit sculpture ready in spring<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

SOUTH NEW Brighton will get<br />

a kuaka/godwit sculpture – but<br />

where it will go in Bridge St is<br />

still to be confirmed.<br />

The project has been more<br />

than two years in the making.<br />

But the South Brighton<br />

Residents’ Association, which is<br />

backing the planned sculpture,<br />

is confident it<br />

will be installed<br />

by spring.<br />

The plan is<br />

to have the<br />

sculpture<br />

finished by<br />

September in<br />

Hugo<br />

Kristinsson<br />

time for the<br />

return of the<br />

godwits to New<br />

Brighton.<br />

City councillor David East<br />

said there had been some delays<br />

to the project due to the resource<br />

consent process and getting<br />

the funds raised, but he was<br />

optimistic it would go ahead.<br />

City council head of resource<br />

consents John Higgins said no<br />

application has been lodged for<br />

the sculpture due to there being<br />

discussions around its location.<br />

“There are locations in the<br />

general vicinity of the area<br />

that may not require resource<br />

SOARING: An artist’s impression of the godwits sculpture planned for the entrance to South<br />

Brighton, near the Bridge St bridge.<br />

consent,” he said.<br />

The sculpture was originally<br />

planned to go on a piece of land<br />

near the Bridge St bridge.<br />

Residents’ association<br />

chairman Hugo Kristinsson<br />

said the new location had been<br />

“pretty much” decided. He<br />

said it will now be sited about<br />

10m east of its original planned<br />

location.<br />

He said $30,000 has been<br />

secured for the project.<br />

The funds have been raised<br />

through the Rata Foundation,<br />

Pub Charity Ltd and year 7<br />

and 8 pupils at South Brighton<br />

School selling wooden,<br />

decorated godwit cut-outs.<br />

The Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board also granted<br />

$8000 towards the project.<br />

The board decided at a recent<br />

meeting it would extend the<br />

period of time in which the<br />

$8000 needed to be spent after it<br />

first granted the money in June<br />

last year.<br />

The sculpture is being built<br />

by South Brighton artist Bon<br />

Suter and is a celebration of the<br />

godwits connection with the<br />

Avon/Heathcote Estuary.<br />

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA<br />

FROM THE PRINCIPAL<br />

A highlight this term has been the Academic Colours Assembly which<br />

celebrate the success of our senior students in NCEA. Colours acknowledge<br />

ability, hard work and an understanding of our school values – commitment,<br />

perseverance and courage. One of my favourite sayings is ‘Excellence is<br />

not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do’. All of us<br />

are capable of making hard work a habit, in order to achieve to the best of<br />

our ability.<br />

On siting matters, the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch is investigating<br />

sites which could be suitable for our new school and is actively considering<br />

a number of options. We are excited about the future of Marian and are<br />

hopeful for a decision soon.<br />

With blessings<br />

MERCY CUP SPIRIT<br />

Teams of Marian College students<br />

competed in the Mercy Cup<br />

Tournament in Timaru recently. The<br />

annual winter event is held between six<br />

Catholic schools in the region and each<br />

take turns hosting. The schools send<br />

their best football, hockey and netball<br />

teams to compete and enjoy the spirit<br />

of competition, collegiality and shared<br />

Catholic special character and values.<br />

WELLBEING TEAM<br />

As winter settles in, the Marian<br />

College Student Wellbeing Team has<br />

been bringing sunshine and light into<br />

the school.<br />

The team includes students across all<br />

year levels and is headed by senior<br />

leaders Megan White and Mia Blyth.<br />

“Every week two girls pair up – a<br />

senior and junior student who might<br />

not know each other – and come up<br />

with a project drawn from the Hauora<br />

model of wellbeing,” Megan explains.<br />

“The topics are physical wellbeing,<br />

mental and emotional, as well as social<br />

and spiritual wellbeing.”<br />

Projects include signing a pledge<br />

t-shirt against bullying, stress-relieving<br />

colouring in activities, crafts a ‘shout<br />

out board’ where compliments are<br />

shared and a performance by the ‘I am<br />

Unbreakable’ world hip hop champion<br />

dance crew (pictured).<br />

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING<br />

We wanted a college that could meet the spiritual and cultural needs of our<br />

girls. We liked the sense of community, that expects and models caring for<br />

each other.<br />

Chris and Angela Rewha<br />

Marian offers a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughters<br />

are known and not lost in the crowd.<br />

Marian College’s talented senior choir Messa Di Voce performed in the Big Sing<br />

At Marian our daughters have not only thrived academically, they’ve<br />

received a well-rounded education with a strong understanding of<br />

community and service.<br />

Community<br />

Campus student<br />

Connor Smith<br />

building his<br />

board game<br />

Brain Riddler<br />

(inset).<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

St John spreads kindness<br />

Connor invents brain game<br />

LEARNING HOW the<br />

brain works has led to the<br />

development of a board game<br />

allowing players to explore the<br />

subject through illusions and<br />

riddles.<br />

Haeata Community Campus<br />

year 10 student Connor Smith<br />

has created a new board game<br />

called Brain Riddler.<br />

It has thrown him into a<br />

whirlwind of new learning,<br />

trialling and experiencing<br />

technology that is new to<br />

him.<br />

He has designed a game board<br />

and game pieces using digital<br />

software, and is constructing<br />

them using a 3D printer in the<br />

MakerSpace at Haeata.<br />

“I learnt to use new software<br />

like Fusion 360, and the lasercutter,”<br />

Connor said.<br />

This involves key skills, such<br />

as measurement, trial and error,<br />

problem-solving, creativity,<br />

persistence, patience and more.<br />

He is designing game cards<br />

with a range of factual questions<br />

about the brain and the body,<br />

optical illusions and riddles.<br />

For this process, he needs to<br />

research and gather all the facts<br />

and create the design and layout<br />

of the cards.<br />

Connor had the opportunity<br />

to test his game with a<br />

group of people at the recent<br />

Kōrepo Kaupapa Exhibition,<br />

where all students showcased<br />

their work.<br />

There were plenty of people<br />

willing to step up, roll the die<br />

and give it a go.<br />

“It was great seeing their<br />

reaction when they realised what<br />

the answers to the riddles were,”<br />

Connor said.<br />

Young Coastal defender<br />

makes NZ football squad<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

COASTAL SPIRIT<br />

defender Sam Richards<br />

may be a boy playing men<br />

but he is turning heads in<br />

the process.<br />

The 15-year-old Papanui<br />

High student is the<br />

youngest player in the<br />

Coastal Spirit premier<br />

men’s reserves team but<br />

is more than holding his<br />

own.<br />

He has made the wider<br />

training squad for the<br />

New Zealand under-17<br />

team which will attempt<br />

to qualify for the under-17<br />

World Cup in Peru in<br />

October.<br />

The news came as a<br />

shock to the centre back<br />

who had been left out of<br />

the talent centre camp<br />

where players are normally<br />

spotted and then picked for<br />

New Zealand.<br />

“I’d attended a couple<br />

(of camps) and then found<br />

out I wasn’t named for<br />

the previous one so to get<br />

the call that I made the<br />

squad was a little bit of a<br />

surprise.”<br />

Sam started playing as<br />

a defensive midfielder but<br />

moved into the centre back<br />

position more than two<br />

years ago.<br />

After making the step up<br />

from 15th grade football<br />

to the reserves this season,<br />

he said he believed playing<br />

men had improved his<br />

game.<br />

“Initially I was quite<br />

YOUTH: Coastal Spirit’s Sam Richards has made the<br />

New Zealand under-17 wider training squad.<br />

PHOTO: VICKY RICHARDS<br />

SPORTS<br />

nervous about it, but after<br />

my first game that feeling<br />

settled down,” he said.<br />

The speed is quicker and<br />

obviously the games are<br />

more physical which took<br />

Sam some time to get used<br />

to.<br />

“Because everyone is<br />

stronger than me, it’s really<br />

taught me how to protect<br />

the ball better and use my<br />

body to keep the ball away<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

from attackers,” he said.<br />

“I pride myself on being<br />

calm under pressure and I<br />

think that’s a good quality<br />

to have in the position that<br />

I play.” Sam used to play<br />

touch rugby but he gave it<br />

away as his commitment to<br />

football grew.<br />

“I love the game and, for<br />

me, I get as much joy out of<br />

shutting down an attack or<br />

stopping a goal as others do<br />

scoring them.”<br />

Maori under-18 call-up for Coulston<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

NEW BRIGHTON lock<br />

Elijah Coulston has<br />

earned his first national<br />

representative call-up,<br />

making the under-18<br />

Maori squad.<br />

The former Shirley Boys’<br />

High first XV player, has<br />

made the 40-man squad<br />

for a three-day training<br />

camp in Rotorua on <strong>July</strong><br />

16.<br />

“This is my first national<br />

selection so it’s a big step<br />

up from what I’m used to,<br />

but it’s a big honour,” he<br />

said.<br />

“We had a South Island<br />

trial earlier in the season<br />

and there were a couple<br />

in the North Island so<br />

to make the cut is really<br />

great.”<br />

The squad will prepare<br />

for a game against New<br />

Zealand Barbarians teams<br />

at the end of the season.<br />

“It’s a great opportunity to<br />

be seen by some top level<br />

coaches and learn from<br />

them.”<br />

The 18-year-old travelled<br />

from Oxford to attend<br />

SBHS but now lives in New<br />

Brighton and is working as<br />

an apprentice plumber.<br />

Coulston (above) has<br />

made North Canterbury<br />

and Canterbury age-group<br />

teams but believed playing<br />

rugby in Christchurch had<br />

improved his game.<br />

Since joining New<br />

Brighton’s premier colts<br />

team this season, he<br />

has noticed an increase<br />

in physicality. “Playing<br />

against guys who are<br />

21 and more physically<br />

developed has been eyeopening,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Speed-wise, I think it’s<br />

the same as when I was at<br />

Shirley but it’s a lot more<br />

physical,” he said. Coulston<br />

said he was working on<br />

adding more bulk to his<br />

185cm frame.<br />

He hoped one day he<br />

would be able to make it<br />

as a professional player,<br />

either in New Zealand or<br />

overseas. “I think everyone<br />

wants to believe they can<br />

make it in rugby and that’s<br />

certainly a goal of mine.”

Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />

dry and raw throats.<br />

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />

for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />

provided.<br />

Denise Lim has been involved with<br />

Snores for 22 years<br />

and has had a 98%<br />

success rate with<br />

people using the<br />

appliance. Snoring<br />

can be a health<br />

hazard, causing<br />

sleep apnoea, where<br />

the person actually<br />

stops breathing for<br />

short periods.<br />

It can cause<br />

short-term memory<br />

loss, tiredness and<br />

contribute to high<br />

blood pressure.<br />

The Snorex<br />

device does not feel<br />

restrictive, is noninvasive<br />

and carries<br />

a money-back guarantee.<br />

Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />

and throat specialists, however, anyone<br />

can phone for an appointment.<br />

For an information pack or to discuss<br />

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim<br />

The tree of LIFE<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times, new<br />

research has shown that neurons can grow<br />

back with the right conditions and that a<br />

special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761<br />

or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to<br />

assist in this. The implications for stroke<br />

recovery are obvious, but researchers also<br />

know many of us suffer from undetected<br />

“micro-strokes” that over a period of time<br />

slowly reduce<br />

our cognitive<br />

function.<br />

TEBONIN<br />

is prescribed<br />

worldwide<br />

as a natural<br />

supportive agent<br />

for a healthy brain<br />

and cognitive<br />

function.<br />

It supports<br />

healthy mental<br />

performance,<br />

concentration,<br />

focus, alertness,<br />

motor function<br />

and to help with<br />

many conditions<br />

including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise<br />

in the ears), vertigo and normal balance.<br />

TEBONIN improves micro-circulation<br />

and helps the blood flow reach those<br />

critical places it needs to get. It is a potent<br />

anti-oxidant and makes the red blood<br />

cells more pliable and capillary walls more<br />

flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented<br />

multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />

tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />

clinical dose without having to take a large<br />

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />

major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />

passed all five of the test requirements.<br />

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />

and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />

to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />

of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />

The importance of<br />

good blood pressure?<br />

Blood Pressure is an<br />

indicator of cardiovascular<br />

as well as overall health.<br />

Healthy blood flow is vital for<br />

a healthy body as the blood<br />

plasma transports nutrients,<br />

hormones, metabolic waste,<br />

oxygen and CO2 throughout<br />

the body. An area in the brain<br />

keeps check on blood flow<br />

to ensure health of all cells<br />

and the organs they make up.<br />

If blood flow is reduced the<br />

brain will try to normalise<br />

blood flow by adjusting the<br />

heart strength, frequency<br />

(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood<br />

vessels all via the central nervous system.<br />

Over a period of time the blood pressure<br />

may increase due to the deterioration of<br />

blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P<br />

is not ideal and is considered a major risk<br />

factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure<br />

and heart failure. Even moderate elevation<br />

of B/P is considered a major reason for<br />

shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain<br />

our B/P in the normal range our overall<br />

health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The<br />

upper figure) is when the heart contracts<br />

and pushes blood around the body. Ideally<br />

at rest this should be between 100 to 120.<br />

The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the<br />

pressure in the arteries between beats and<br />

ideally at rest this should be between 60<br />

to 70.<br />

how’s your blood pressure?<br />

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more<br />

likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life<br />

expectancy. Checking your B/P on a regular basis with our easy to use B/P monitors allows you to make changes to your lifestyle,<br />

diet & nutrition when necessary.<br />

It has been found in around 90% of<br />

cases high blood pressure is caused by<br />

an increase in the resistance to blood<br />

flow in the blood vessels. It is believed<br />

inflammation, plaque build-up and<br />

stiffness of the blood vessels are major<br />

reasons for this increased resistance.<br />

Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />

to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />

healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of<br />

our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />

many people have relocated to homes<br />

that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />

associated with health problems. Independent<br />

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can<br />

rise from the ground and enter a house every<br />

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation<br />

and musty smells. Moulds can produce<br />

various allergic reactions and the<br />

frail, elderly and very young are<br />

especially vulnerable.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Choosing the<br />

right heat pump<br />

for your home<br />

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />

most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />

if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />

convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />

to press a button. But how do you decide what<br />

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is<br />

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every<br />

situation varies and it is therefore important<br />

to get professional advice from heat pump<br />

experts.<br />

The range varies from wall mounted high<br />

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />

central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />

very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />

to a constant temperature throughout.<br />

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />

is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />

taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />

building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />

available with different heating outputs so it<br />

is important to select the correct size for your<br />

requirements that will handle the job but not<br />

be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />

Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />

is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />

installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />

unit however this is not necessarily always<br />

the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />

unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />

in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />

outside their bedroom window.<br />

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />

have come and gone over the years but there<br />

are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />

and price, so it depends on your application as<br />

to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />

backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />

accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />

correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />

validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />

Other things to consider when choosing a<br />

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />

capabilities.<br />

Heating is a major investment in your home<br />

and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />

PROMINENT Cantabrians<br />

have given a mixed response to<br />

the possible futuristic look of<br />

Cathedral Square.<br />

Plans for what the Square<br />

could look like were released<br />

by Regenerate Christchurch<br />

yesterday after seven years of<br />

debate and controversy over the<br />

slow progress of the rebuild.<br />

It includes three covered<br />

pavilions, which would have<br />

a “lattice-style” translucent<br />

roof, which could host markets<br />

and other events.<br />

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.<br />

The long-term vision, which is<br />

estimated to cost between $60-<br />

$80 million, aims to bring people<br />

back into the area, through a<br />

series of interconnected public<br />

spaces.<br />

The vision for the Square also<br />

includes Cathedral Gardens<br />

with trees and water features,<br />

<strong>Post</strong> Office Place with events<br />

and meeting spaces, and Library<br />

Plaza with other people-friendly<br />

areas.<br />

“I’m confident Regenerate<br />

said it would need to work<br />

around other developments<br />

such as Turanga, the Spark<br />

A CON man who tells his<br />

intended victims he will harm<br />

their families if they don’t pay up<br />

may face a bigger problem than<br />

the law – gangs.<br />

Police have received 19 complaints<br />

from Christchurch people<br />

targeted by the sinister scam. It<br />

involves phone<br />

calls and texts to<br />

victims who are<br />

told the caller is<br />

from the Mongrel<br />

Mob, Highway 61<br />

or Black Power.<br />

Pay up or your<br />

family members, Greg<br />

including elderly Newbold<br />

parents, will be<br />

attacked, the caller says.<br />

But it appears the con man is<br />

not connected to the gangs, just<br />

using their names to put fear into<br />

the intended victims.<br />

Canterbury University criminologist<br />

Greg Newbold said yesterday<br />

the gangs would be “filthy”.<br />

“All I can say is he’s got a death<br />

wish,” he said.<br />

“They will be absolutely p***ed<br />

off. Anybody who impersonates<br />

a gang member is committing a<br />

serious crime against the gang.”<br />

Prof Newbold said the perpetrator<br />

could get a “hiding” for that<br />

alone.<br />

CELEBRATING<br />

OUR SUCCESS<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

PROMINENT Cantabrians<br />

have given a mixed response to<br />

the possible futuristic look of<br />

Cathedral Square.<br />

Plans for what the Square<br />

could look like were released<br />

by Regenerate Christchurch<br />

yesterday after seven years of<br />

debate and controversy over the<br />

slow progress of the rebuild.<br />

It includes three covered<br />

pavilions, which would have<br />

a “lattice-style” translucent<br />

roof, which could host markets<br />

and other events.<br />

The long-term vision, which is<br />

estimated to cost between $60-<br />

$80 million, aims to bring people<br />

back into the area, through a<br />

series of interconnected public<br />

spaces.<br />

The vision for the Square also<br />

includes Cathedral Gardens<br />

with trees and water features,<br />

<strong>Post</strong> Office Place with events<br />

and meeting spaces, and Library<br />

Plaza with other people-friendly<br />

areas.<br />

Former mayor Garry Moore<br />

said the plan was “brilliant”<br />

while developer Ernest Duval<br />

was not fussed by the pavilions.<br />

The next step is for a delivery<br />

strategy to be developed with the<br />

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.<br />

city council and stakeholders to<br />

determine what could be done,<br />

when, and what funding would<br />

be needed.<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said<br />

the vision would help people<br />

think of the central city as a<br />

destination and residential<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

• By Barry Clarke and Emily<br />

O’Connell<br />

A CONVICTED killer is back<br />

behind bars after a spectacular<br />

crash while allegedly fleeing<br />

police.<br />

John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru<br />

Forester crashed through the<br />

Rolleston dog park fence on<br />

Saturday.<br />

A spear-like fence post<br />

smashed through the window<br />

screen narrowly missing a<br />

woman in the passenger seat.<br />

Miraculously Jamieson and the<br />

woman were unhurt.<br />

He had earlier been recorded<br />

driving at 180km/h on State<br />

Highway 1.<br />

A cut-down rifle was later<br />

found by police in the vehicle.<br />

Startled dog walkers said<br />

Jamieson ran a short distance<br />

from the vehicle before stopping<br />

to see if the woman in the vehicle<br />

was okay.<br />

Police arrived soon after and<br />

he was apprehended.<br />

Jamieson was one of six men<br />

“I’m confident Regenerate<br />

Christchurch’s vision will allow<br />

this to happen.”<br />

City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />

said it would need to work<br />

around other developments<br />

such as Turanga, the Spark<br />

building, Aotea Gifts and the<br />

restoration of Christ Church<br />

Cathedral.<br />

“We’ve got to look at what is<br />

happening, what’s in the vision<br />

and what can we deliver.”<br />

City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said it was a good starting<br />

point.<br />
