Unwell teens get $10k boost from Papanui High
RONALD McDonald House’s
teenage room has received a
$10,000 boost from Papanui
High School.
The room is for children aged
10 and over and currently has
an Xbox, foosball table, space
invader machines, couches and
bean bags.
Ronald McDonald House
South Island director of house
operations Zucchi Leonard said
the organisation was thrilled to
have the school as a sponsor.
“We want the students to take
ownership of the room and
redesign it. At the moment, it is
a teenagers room designed by
adults.”
The room allows the teenagers
to have their own space, away
from their parents and away
from the younger children.
Deputy principal Tim Kirby
said the money was raised in
three ways. Year 9 and 10 students
participated in a work day
afternoon, 23 students from the
special learning needs department
ran a car wash for staff
and the whole school raised
money through a number of
mufti-days. “The school has now
committed to being an annual
sponsor of the room beginning
this year, which is an exciting
and an extremely worthwhile
cause,” said Mr Kirby.
The students will now think
about the room’s layout.

RESULTS FROM public
submissions on changes to
Cranford St and surrounding
areas show residents may
be divided on how they
would like traffic managed in
the area.
More than 400 submissions
were received on proposed
options for dealing with the
increased traffic to the Cranford
St area, once the Christchurch
Northern Corridor opens in
2020.
Fifty-one per cent of people
would support Madras and
Barbadoes Sts being split into
three sections.
About two-thirds of
submissions support the options
of clearways on Cranford St
between Innes Rd and Berwick
St.
A similar amount support
upgrading the intersections
at Forfar and Warrington Sts
and Barbadoes and Warrington
Sts.
Last month, a 500-signature
petition was presented to the
Papanui-Innes Community
Board about the changes.

Sam Richards.
Could it be Qatar in four years?
The Papanui High School student has
made the wider training squad for the
New Zealand under-17 team to prepare to
qualify for the under-17 World Cup in Peru in October (page 13).
He’s one of the province’s most promising young players.
Making the World Cup in Peru would be a huge step forward for
the 15-year-old.
He’s mixing it with much older players in the Coastal Spirit
premier men’s reserves team. Toughness I suspect won’t be a
problem.
The under-17 World Cup is one of the world’s most prestigious
youth sporting events.
The All Whites will need young talent like Richards to get to
Qatar.

Wet winter causes delays
• By Sophie Cornish
THE ST Albans Park upgrade
has gone over budget and a wet
winter is likely to see it delayed
further.
The cost of the project has
increased by $160,000 to $2.1
million.
The upgrade includes installing
a drainage system, replacing
the existing turf with sand-based
turf and rebuilding the sports
pavilion.
City council manager community
parks Al Hardy said the
increase was caused by ground
conditions issues, when installing
the main drainage lines.
The ground conditions were
significantly worse than what
had been predicted after initial
ground tests at the time the site
was designed and specified.
“A gravel raft was required under
the main line pipes to meet
the required standards and sign
off as required in the contract,”
he said.
This required additional excavation
and supply of the gravel to
create the raft and had a follow
on effect of additional material
(1200 tonne) to be removed from
the site. Mr Hardy also said wet
weather has caused the completion
date to be pushed out to
December or January 2019.
Originally, city council predicted
the pavilion would be
completed in August and the
grounds in September, at the
latest.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
said not much can be done
when the issues are to do with
the weather. However, Ms
Jones believes the pavilion and
toilet block will be complete well
ahead of the grounds.
“We are considering having
an opening event, if there is a
big gap between the completion
of the pavilion and the grounds
being ready,” she said.
Additional funding for the
project was included in the Long
Term Plan, which was adopted
by city council last week.
The new pavilion will have
two public toilets, two changing
rooms with toilets and showers,

million.
a referee’s room, two storage
rooms and attic space where
sports clubs can store gear during
the off-season. Two artificial
cricket wickets will also be
installed.
The upgrade came as a result
of ongoing frustration from St
Albans residents, who said the
park and playground have been
a disaster of smelly, brown water
following the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.

John Stringer
writes about
his views on
community
board funding
RECENTLY THERE was
controversy (Nor’West News,
June 12 and 19) over the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board’s decision
whether to fund a prominent
Papanui-based trust project
which delivers unique social
assistance in north-west
Christchurch.
My friend and colleague,
Sam MacDonald, chairman of
the community board, publicly
argued “(social investment)
should be a responsibility of
central government not local
government” and asked for
comment.
My view as a community
board member in the ward next
door, where this well-known
trust resides and largely delivers
its services, is that I disagree with
him.
I entirely support Mr MacDonald
that city council boards must

be more focused on ratepayers
and pressure on rates.
However, community boards
have a role, too, alongside central
government, in addressing mental
health, special learning, elder
support initiatives and families
in crisis, as much as rubbish,
reticulation and roading.
Boards under-deliver on a
“community mandate” if it only
considers roads. In our own ward
of Papanui-Innes, there is an
important church-based neighbourhood
trust project addressing
stress and anxiety in children
following the earthquakes.
Similarly, we fund youth
sports trips abroad for important
events or youth training, as well
as many elderly engagement
programmes, and we build
disability access ways. This
is social investment in our
community.
The city council does need to
more narrowly prioritise. We
do need a ‘razor gang’ on the

The Long Term Plan has
challenged us all on that. I agree
with Mr MacDonald 100 per
cent that our focus must be on
ratepayers and their ‘bang-forbuck.’
More than 15 per cent
rate increases over the next three
years is a runaway horse and a
cop-out of collective governance
this term.
But I disagree with Mr
MacDonald that community
boards should defer all
“social investment” to
central government. We are
best placed to discern what
social investment is needed
locally. It is one reason for
the representation changes made
last term to create more wards to
better apply local spending.
Communities are more
than asphalt, rubbish bags
and reticulation. Boards
need to support people, the
arts, the elderly, the young
and families. We do this
with facilities, programmes,
information, ideas, trees, gardens
and libraries – which is all
vital social investment – while
we wrestle with northern arterial
motorways, chlorination and
potholes.

Call for action as reserve
becomes ‘a swamp’
• By Sophie Conrish
David
A ST Albans resident is calling
for urgent drainage work at
Rutland Reserve, saying it
currently looks like a “bloody
disaster.”
David Brown first contacted
the Papanui-Innes Community
Board about the reserve in February.
However, little has been
done to address
its flooding issue
since.
“The high water
level is flooding
onto the adjoining
reserve land, causing
a large area to
become a swamp,”
he said.
Brown
Mr Brown was told by the
community board in February
it would ensure city council staff
meet or get in touch with him
about the issue.
“To the best of my knowledge,
no such invitation has been
issued to me and I suspect the
drainage personnel are none the
wiser about the condition of the
reserve,” he said in a recent letter
to the community board.
Mr Brown, who has lived in
SWAMP: A St Albans resident wants action taken to stop the
flooding at Rutland Reserve.
Rutland St for 14 years, believes
the water level is high enough in
some places that someone could
drown if they fell in.
He said the resolution is
simple. “Clean the existing drain
that council staff and I dug out
by hand (two years ago), lower
the water level and restore the
reserve so that everyone can use
it.”
The community board requested
an update on the work
being done or planned for the
reserve. It hoped to get an urgent
response to Mr Brown.
“It needs to be returned to its
former glory as a reserve where
people can fly kites, kick a ball
around, play cricket and do what
they want to do on it as they
once did,” said Mr Brown.
“At the moment the only
people that are enjoying it is the
pukekos and ducks.”
City council manager community
parks Al Hardy said it
was aware of the flooding issue
in the reserve.
He said it will continue to
carry out riparian planting to
moderate the water flow.

into, he is still

for vehicles is a serious hazard to
pedestrians and cyclists who use
the pathway,” said Mr Britten.
“Especially at night, given this
is when a car is more likely to be
in there doing skids, and noting
that the park is unlit.”
Mr Britten contacted the city
council about the issue again
in September and was told the
reserve had been left accessible
to vehicles so work could be
completed.
However, a further request was
logged to see if this was still the
case and whether it was possible
for fences to be reinstated and the
grass repaired.
Last week, city council manager
community parks Al Hardy
said the reserve is not accessible
to vehicles.
“Fences run along the
northern, eastern and southern
boundaries. Shrub borders also
prohibit vehicle access.”
However, Mr Britten said this
is incorrect and provided photos
to Nor’West News showing an
unsecured entrance.
“This entrance has two posts
that would typically be raised to
form a vehicle barrier, but they’ve
been in the pictured ‘down’ position
since some time last year,”
he said.
A similar entrance at the
southern part of the reserve has
since been secured after Mr Britten
contacted city council about
it in June.

Principal finishes up at St Margaret’s
Fire rages, homes at risk
Gillian Simpson
takes up new
girls’ school
challenge
• By Sophie Cornish
AFTER TEN years at St
Margaret’s College, principal
Gillian Simpson hopes to
continue “empowering and
educating young women” in her
next role.
Mrs Simpson will finish up at
the school at the end of this week
after a decade in the role.
While continuing to live in
Canterbury, Mrs Simpson will
move onto a new venture, designing
and developing a girls’ school
in Auckland for “less fortunate
children in struggling circumstances,”
she said.
About 700 people attended a
farewell event which Mrs Simpson
described as “completely
overwhelming.”
Canadian-born Diana Patchett
will step into the role at the start
of term three, leaving her post as
principal of Auckland’s Kristin
Junior School.
“We have had some really good
times in transition together; it’s
been really helpful for the community,”
said Mrs Simpson.
“She’s just as passionate about
educating young women as I am.”
Leading the school’s rebuild
after the earthquakes, when
almost 95 per cent of the
campus was lost, was the most
challenging time for Mrs
Simpson.
“It’s been an incredible
journey of learning . . . I had to
learn to work in adverse and
extraordinary circumstances that
I’ve never worked in before.”
Mrs Simpson doesn’t believe
the role has changed her since
she first began in 2008, at the age
of 53.
SAYING GOODBYE:

principal Gillian Simpson
will finish up her role at
the school at the end
of this week. (Right)
– Board of trustees
chairman Albert Brantley
spoke at her farewell
event. (Below) – Head
girl Jemima Vaughan
and deputy head girl
Mia Thomson make

departing principal.
“The key in leadership is that if
you are authentic and true to who
you are then you don’t change.
For me, it’s about passion, kindness,
collaboration and community
– none of that has changed.”
Mrs Simpson credited her
husband David, describing their
relationship as “an absolute partnership
of support.”
“He’s the person who’s kept me
strong all the way through
. . . he loves the community just
as much as I do. He was very
involved during the earthquake,
right at a grassroots level.
Mixed reaction to Northern Corridor traffic plan
•From page 1
It stated that residents and
businesses in St Albans, Mairehau
and Edgeware will pay the
costs socially and financially to
accommodate North Canterbury
residents getting to and from the
city quicker.
City council head of transport
Richard Osborne said the main
concerns of submitters were the
loss of on-street parking for local
businesses, a potential loss of
a sense of community and the
safety of pedestrians, particularly
schoolchildren.
Co-owner of Sincock and Till
Audiology, Carolyn Till, is concerned
she may not be able to run
her business if the intersection
outside her work near the corners
of Barbadoes and Warrington Sts
is upgraded.
“There won’t be any point in
me being here because it will be
too noisy to practice because of
the roadworks . . . we are very
close to the intersection and
we are a noise-sensitive business,
we test hearing, I fit hearing aids
and need a certain level of quietness.”
“I am also concerned that
people won’t be able to get to me.
Some of our clients are
more elderly and if there is poor
access then I do have concerns
about them being able to get to
me.
Community board chairwoman
Ali Jones said the decisions
are extremely challenging
for everyone.
“The board is really pleased so
many people have contributed
with their feedback. We are never
going to please everyone but we
are working as hard as we can
to do the best with what we have
to work with. We look forward
to working through the community’s
concerns as we move
forward.”
Mr Osborne said all submitters
will be receiving an email in the
next few weeks offering them the
opportunity to speak at a community
board meeting later this
year.
Feedback has been passed onto
an independent traffic expert
who will prepare a Downstream
Effects Management Plan that
addresses the impacts of the
CNC.

make friends, take leadership roles, and achieve at a
high level.
• We are a caring school where students are known and
supported as individuals in a positive, inclusive and
well-resourced learning environment.
• We value effective relationships with parents/whanau
and the wider community to improve outcomes for
students.
• We are innovative and responsive to the evolving
nature of society through continuous and rigorous
review and evaluation of our systems, practices and
procedures.
These seven factors contribute to the obvious pride that
we all have in our school.
Burnside High School, in partnership with whanau, has
the proven ability to assist students develop the skills,
attributes, and attitudes to make a success of their lives
in the workplace, in the community, and as members of
supportive and loving families. I believe in, and am proud
of, Burnside High School; and feel privileged to be its
principal.

teitei, ko Aoraki anake
Pursue excellence, and if you are to ever bow – let it only
be to a lofty mountain, Aoraki.
Phil Holstein,
Principal
Burnside High School Music Department
Term 2 has seen a remarkable number of impressive
achievements by our talented musicians on the national and
regional stage.
The Burnside High School Big Band and SMP Jazz Combos
embarked on a week-long tour of the North Island, performing
at the Manawatu Jazz Festival and the NZSM (Wellington)
Jazz Festival where they won a total of 19 separate awards,
including Best Big Band and Best Combo at each festival. An
outstanding achievement.
At the ARA Jazz Quest Combo Competition this success was
repeated with SMP Combo 1 won “Best Combo” and a further
five individual awards were won.
Dr Dave Lisik, Head of Jazz Theory and Composition at the
New Zealand School of Music writes: “What this doesn’t
illustrate, given that Burnside’s jazz groups routinely have
successful individuals and groups winning awards, is how
the Jazz Programme as a whole continues to improve. Huge
congratulations to everyone!”
At the regional NZCF Big Sing competition, Burnside’s choirs
were once again in the spotlight and received a number of
coveted awards:
Junior Performance Choir
• Outstanding Recital by a Junior Choir
Aurora Voices
• Outstanding performance of a composition with a Maori or
Pacifica text
• Outstanding performance of an Early Music composition
• Outstanding Recital by a Treble Choir
Bel Canto
• Outstanding Recital by a Girls’ Choir
Senior Chorale
• Outstanding performance of a New Zealand Composition
• Outstanding Recital by a Mixed Voice Choir
• University of Canterbury School of Music Award for
best performance of a New Zealand work at the Big Sing
Canterbury and West Coast competition 2018
Burnside entered a total of 13 groups in the annual NZCT
Chamber Music Contest this year, two of which were selected
for the district, and subsequently, the regional final: RAQS
(Hijiri Yamamoto, violin; Claudia Crosland, Alto Saxophone;
Lixin Zhang, piano) and The Rota Trio (Ashley Leng, violin;
Emica Taylor, flute; Tetsuya Yamada, piano). Maggie Ma (cello)
and Juliette Ma (violin), both Burnside students also featured
in the final as part of a composite school group.
RAQS were successful in winning the Southern Regional Final
overall, an outstanding achievement in this highly competitive
contest.
The Mendelssohn Trio (Lily Doak, Samantha Chiang and Cherry
Inazumi) won a KBB award at the District Final of the contest.
Ashburton Exchange
Just over 130 students travelled to Ashburton to compete
across seven sports and in 13 matches at the annual
Winter Sports Ashburton College Exchange. The Sports
Exchange has been a major and popular event on the
school calendar for many years. In the past over 200
students normally compete but this year the wetter
weather played havoc with the grounds forcing football
and rugby matches to be cancelled.
Hayden Cox (Boys Hockey)
Congratulations to Year 13 student Lixin Zhang, winner of last
year’s Wallace Piano Competition, on the release of his first CD
recording on the Rattle record label and for the stunning CD
launch concert he performed at The Piano Centre for Music
and the Arts.
Finally, congratulations to Keira Jonkers (Year 11) and Dylan
Jonkers (Year 9) for reaching the regional final of the
RockQuest competition with their bands “Better than Bacon”
and “Class Disruption”.
Term 3 sees the national final stages of all three competitions;
best wishes to all students and staff involved.

The stakes are always high playing for pride and the

snuck off with after a close battle winning 7 - 5. Burnside’s
strength this year was in hockey with both the boys and
girls teams winning convincingly 7-0 and 8-0 respectively.
Principal Phil Holstein took full responsibility for the loss
and offered to walk home from Ashburton!
It was a very successful exchange with both schools
continuing to build a strong relationship through sport.

St Alban celebrated for
the first time in suburb
• By Sophie Cornish
ST ALBANS residents have come
together for the first time to
mark the day that the suburb’s
namesake is celebrated.
A sold-out event at Bailies
Bar in Edgeware Village saw
members from several different
Edgeware and St Albans community
groups come together for
a Romano-British-themed meal.
The menu was based around
delicacies from the third century
AD, including barley broth, flat
breads, mussel pots cooked with
leeks and white wine, roasted
winter vegetables, grilled meats
and baked fruit pieces for dessert.
The event acknowledged the
story of St Alban, who the English
city of the same name was
named after. The residents celebrated
the suburb’s connection
with St Albans in Hertfordshire.
St Albans in Christchurch
was named in memory of a 19th
century duchess of St Albans –
actress Harriet Mellon. She was a
cousin of George Dickinson who
started a farm just outside the
four avenues, covering much of
Merivale and Mairehau.
The name was given later to
the borough of St Albans, which
HISTORY: Residents from Edgeware and St Albans came
together to celebrate St Alban on the saint’s day.
merged with the city council in
1903.
As for St Alban, little is known
about the martyr’s life, except
that he was a retired Roman
soldier who was executed after he
posed as a Christian priest that
the Romans were chasing.
Friends of Abberley Park
member Patricia Wallace, who
attended the dinner, said the staff
at Bailies rose to the challenge of
presenting a themed meal for the
occasion.
“It proved to be such an
enjoyable evening that there are
suggestions it should become a
regular annual event,” she said.
The former town crier, Stephen
Symons, also attended and gave a
speech about both St Alban and
the English city named after him.

A POPULAR recreation spot in
Harewood will get toilet blocks
to stop people using the bushes.
Roto Kohatu Reserve on Sawyers
Arms Rd currently only has
portaloos.
City council staff recomended
the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
approve two proposed sites for
two toilet blocks at a meeting
last night.
Visitor numbers to the reserve
– which is home to Lake Rua
and Lake Tahi – were so high
over summer that the capacity
of the portaloos was inadequate,
and they were quickly filled
before servicing could be arranged.
The portaloo contract
requires a prior notification
period of several weeks to
request additional emptying or
additional portaloos due to unexpected
demand. This meant

Popular Harewood reserve
likely to get toilet block
the portaloos were not emptied
at the end of the busy summer
days.
In a report to the community
board, city council staff said the
public were using areas behind
bushes and containers as toilets
and had received feedback that
faeces and toilet paper had been
seen there.
The popularity of the reserve
increased after the city council
expanded the size of the car
park and entrance last year,
making it more accessible.
Installing the toilet blocks
will be costly due to the underground
services which need to
be installed including wastewater,
water supply and power.
No services like this exist
within the reserve. Close to $3
million has been included in
the Long Term Plan for developments
at The Groynes, Roto Kohatu

Christ’s band
wins regional
contest in
quest for
rock stardom
A CHRIST’S College band
has won the Canterbury
regional finals of the
SmokefreeRockquest.
The Subs took out the band
section on Friday night at The
Foundry. Middleton Grange
School band Merlinco was
second.
The ZM people’s choice award
went to Better than Bacon, which
was formed by students from
Hagley Community College,
Burnside High School and
Shirley Boys’ High.
The Subs, Merlinco and Better
than Bacon will now move onto
the next stage which involves
creating a 12min performance
video. This will be judged by a
panel of industry professionals
and after that some acts will
progress to the national final.
Household A, a combination
of students from St Margaret’s
College, Christchurch Girls’
High, Christ’s and Shirley Boys’
High, was third in the regional
contest.
Run 77 won best song and

Rangi dancer takes
out NZ highland title
SCHOOLS
VICTORY DANCE: Brooke Kingsbury won the
Highland Fling under-16 title at the New Zealand
championships in Invercargill.
WHILE HER many of her
friends were getting ready
for the school semi-formal,
one Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
student was putting on a
formal dress of a different
kind.
Year 11 student Brooke
Kingsbury won the Highland
Fling under-16 title at the New
Zealand championships held
in Invercargill.
Brooke is thrilled with the
win, in spite of missing her
school semi-formal for it.
“This honour has made it
worth it,” she said.
Beginning when she was
only three-years-old, highland
dance has been a big part of
Brooke’s life and requires
strength, agility, balance and
precision, she said.
She sits two major dance
exams every year in May and
September, which may result
in a diploma in a few years.
Brooke will next compete
in the under-18 New Zealand
championships in Ashburton
this month. She can often be
seen busking down at Bishopdale
Mall to raise money for
her dancing trips. Earlier this
year, she travelled to Virginia
in the United States with the

Company.

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
A highlight this term has been the Academic Colours Assembly which
celebrate the success of our senior students in NCEA. Colours acknowledge
ability, hard work and an understanding of our school values – commitment,
perseverance and courage. One of my favourite sayings is ‘Excellence is
not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do’. All of us
are capable of making hard work a habit, in order to achieve to the best of
our ability.
On siting matters, the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch is investigating
sites which could be suitable for our new school and is actively considering
a number of options. We are excited about the future of Marian and are
hopeful for a decision soon.
With blessings
Mary-Lou Davidson
Marian College Principal
MERCY CUP SPIRIT
Teams of Marian College students
competed in the Mercy Cup
Tournament in Timaru recently. The
annual winter event is held between six
Catholic schools in the region and each
take turns hosting. The schools send
their best football, hockey and netball
teams to compete and enjoy the spirit
of competition, collegiality and shared
Catholic special character and values.
WELLBEING TEAM
As winter settles in, the Marian
College Student Wellbeing Team has
been bringing sunshine and light into
the school.
The team includes students across all
year levels and is headed by senior
leaders Megan White and Mia Blyth.
“Every week two girls pair up – a
senior and junior student who might
not know each other – and come up
with a project drawn from the Hauora
model of wellbeing,” Megan explains.
“The topics are physical wellbeing,
mental and emotional, as well as social
and spiritual wellbeing.”
Projects include signing a pledge
t-shirt against bullying, stress-relieving
colouring in activities, crafts a ‘shout
out board’ where compliments are
shared and a performance by the ‘I am
Unbreakable’ world hip hop champion
dance crew (pictured).
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
We wanted a college that could meet the spiritual and cultural needs of our
girls. We liked the sense of community, that expects and models caring for
each other.

Marian offers a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughters
are known and not lost in the crowd.

BIG SING
Marian College’s talented senior choir Messa Di Voce performed in the Big Sing
- the secondary schools choral festival - at The Piano recently. Messa Di Voce

received a well-rounded education with a strong understanding of

Papanui High student in
under-17 NZ squad
• By Jacob Page
PAPANUI HIGH student Sam
Richards may be a boy playing
men but he is turning heads in
the process.
The 15-year-old is the youngest
player in the Coastal Spirit
premier men’s reserves team but
is more than holding his own.
The defender has made the
wider training squad for the New
Zealand under-17 team, which
are attempting to qualify for the
under-17 World Cup in Peru in
October.
The news came as a shock to
the centre back who had been
left out of the talent centre camp
where players are normally
spotted and then picked for New
Zealand.
“I’d attended a couple (of
camps) and then found out I
wasn’t named for the previous
one so to get the call that I made
the squad was a little bit of a
surprise.”
Sam started playing as a defensive
midfielder but moved into
the centre back position more
than two years ago.
After making the step up from
15th grade football to the reserves
this season, he said he believed
playing men had improved his
game. “Initially I was quite nervous
about it, but after my first
game that feeling settled down,”
he said. The speed is quicker and
obviously the games are more
physical which took Sam some
time to get used to.
“Because everyone is stronger
than me, it’s really taught me how
to protect the ball better and use
my body to keep the ball away
from attackers,” he said.
“I pride myself on being calm
under pressure and I think that’s
a good quality to have in the

position that I play.” Sam used
to play touch rugby but he gave
it away as his commitment to
football grew.
“I love the game and, for
me, I get as much joy out of
shutting down an attack or
stopping a goal as others do
scoring them.”
New Zealand under-17 training
camps will be held in Auckland
throughout the winter.
Williams pushes for
powerchair football
World Cup selection
• By Jacob Page
PAPANUI’S DIANE Williams
is eager to push her claim for
national selection at the first
New Zealand Powerchair
Football tournament in Taupo
this weekend.
Williams will have the benefit
of her community-funded
$23,000 powerchair, which is
specifically designed for her.
“I had all sorts of donations
from individuals – $1000 from
the Mike Pero Group
and $12,000 from (the
Mazda Foundation).”
She will represent
Canterbury at the
Taupo Sports Events
Centre from Saturday
to Monday.
Following the
tournament, a team
will be selected to
represent New Zealand at the
upcoming Australian national
championships in September.
It has also been announced
that Australia will be hosting
the 2021 FIPFA World Cup, allowing
the opportunity for New
Zealand to qualify through an
Asia Pacific Cup qualification
tournament next year.
Powerchair football is a competitive
team sport for people
SPORTS
with a physical disability.
The rules are similar to
outdoor football with a few
modifications. Players include
people with quadriplegia, neuromuscular
conditions, cerebral
palsy, head and spinal cord
injuries and other disabilities.
Williams (left) suffered
a stroke in 2010
which left her paralysed
down one side of her
body.
“Previously I’d played
indoor cricket and
indoor netball and loved
it so wheelchair football
was a good fit for me.”
While she has represented
New Zealand previously,
Williams said she was motivated
by the prospect of playing
in the World Cup.
“That’s the motivation for
now,” she said. “Playing the
game is freeing to me, and when
I play, I play hard.”
Williams says her chair,
which is specifically designed
for her body, means she can
play with comfort and freedom.

Why put up with broken sleep, when
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and
dry and raw throats.
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth
for comfort, and a follow up service is
provided.
Denise Lim has been involved with
Snores for 22 years
and has had a 98%
success rate with
people using the
appliance. Snoring
can be a health
hazard, causing
sleep apnoea, where
the person actually
stops breathing for
short periods.
It can cause
short-term memory
loss, tiredness and
contribute to high
blood pressure.
The Snorex
device does not feel
restrictive, is noninvasive
and carries
a money-back guarantee.
Many people are referred by ear, nose
and throat specialists, however, anyone
can phone for an appointment.

New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times, new
research has shown that neurons can grow
back with the right conditions and that a
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to
assist in this. The implications for stroke
recovery are obvious, but researchers also
know many of us suffer from undetected
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time
slowly reduce
our cognitive
function.
TEBONIN
is prescribed
worldwide
as a natural
supportive agent
for a healthy brain
and cognitive
function.
It supports
healthy mental
performance,
concentration,
focus, alertness,
motor function
and to help with
many conditions
including tinnitus
(ringing and noise
in the ears), vertigo and normal balance.
TEBONIN improves micro-circulation
and helps the blood flow reach those
critical places it needs to get. It is a potent
anti-oxidant and makes the red blood
cells more pliable and capillary walls more
flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small
tablet contains a highly concentrated
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is

the only Gingko biloba extract shown

considered the gold standard in Gingko.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.

The importance of
good blood pressure?
Blood Pressure is an
indicator of cardiovascular
as well as overall health.
Healthy blood flow is vital for
a healthy body as the blood
plasma transports nutrients,
hormones, metabolic waste,
oxygen and CO2 throughout
the body. An area in the brain
keeps check on blood flow
to ensure health of all cells
and the organs they make up.
If blood flow is reduced the
brain will try to normalise
blood flow by adjusting the
heart strength, frequency
(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood
vessels all via the central nervous system.
Over a period of time the blood pressure
may increase due to the deterioration of
blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P
is not ideal and is considered a major risk
factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure
and heart failure. Even moderate elevation
of B/P is considered a major reason for
shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain
our B/P in the normal range our overall
health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The
upper figure) is when the heart contracts
and pushes blood around the body. Ideally
at rest this should be between 100 to 120.
The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the
pressure in the arteries between beats and
ideally at rest this should be between 60
to 70.
how’s your blood pressure?
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
likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life
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,
diet & nutrition when necessary.

It has been found in around 90% of
cases high blood pressure is caused by
an increase in the resistance to blood
flow in the blood vessels. It is believed

Get rid of
dampness
in your house
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm and
healthy for their families throughout winter.
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of
our older properties which suffer from poor, or
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,
many people have relocated to homes
that suffer from rising damp which can be
associated with health problems. Independent
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can
rise from the ground and enter a house every
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation
and musty smells. Moulds can produce
various allergic reactions and the
frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.

operated firm. The team

caused by rising damp and are
there to help. They will come

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more
convenient than a log burner as you just need
to press a button. But how do you decide what
is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is
key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every
situation varies and it is therefore important
to get professional advice from heat pump
experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have a
very discreet way of heating your whole home
to a constant temperature throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that
is suitable for the size of the space you wish
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area
taken into consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows and ceiling
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps
available with different heating outputs so it
is important to select the correct size for your
requirements that will handle the job but not
be unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat pump
is also extremely important. The cheapest
installation is a back to back where the outdoor
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor
unit however this is not necessarily always
the best option. It is vital that the indoor
unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly
in their outdoor entertaining area or right
outside their bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands
have come and gone over the years but there
are a number of manufacturers who provide
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems
and price, so it depends on your application as
to which will be most suitable. Major brands
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands
backed up by good technical after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but also
validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing a
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi
capabilities.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no

classics as ‘In My Room’, ‘God Only Knows’,
‘Good Vibrations’ and ‘Help Me Rhonda’ in

the genius of Brian Wilson in the form of
selections from the seminal ‘Pet Sounds’,
and cult favourites from the legendary
‘Smile’ album.

night to celebrate some of the finest music
committed to tape over four decades.

July at the Isaac eatre Royal,
Christchurch. Tickets at Ticketek.
