gymnast 

• By Jacob Page 

ST ANDREW’S College

came home a winner from 

the Zhong Ling Cup, an 

international rhythmic 

gymnastics tournament in 

Beijing, China. 

The eight-year-old placed

Gymnastic Sports Club in 

Hornby.

had been involved in 

gymnastics for the past three 

years and she trains four 

times a week.

Petition 

against 

Cranford St 

changes 

gets 2000 

signatures 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

MORE THAN 2000 signatures 

have been collected in a bid to 

stop proposed changes in and 

around Cranford St. 

Warrington St residents Mark 

Wilson and Jason Harvey spoke 

to local residents and gathered 

signatures as they felt the city 

council and Papanui-Innes 

Community Board weren’t 

listening to their pleas. 

The changes, which would 

coincide with the Northern 

Corridor opening, included 

creating a clearway on Cranford 

St, intersection upgrades 

to Warrington, Forfar and 

Barbadoes Sts, and the threelaning 

of Forfar, Madras and 

Barbadoes Sts. 

“The proposal overall is just 

crazy, but one of the overriding 

concerns is the fact that the 

council doesn’t listen,” Mr Wilson 

said. “It’s been forced on residents 

in the area. It’s basically just to 

help people from other areas 

come in and drive through our 

community and do nothing for 

our community at all . . . it makes 

your blood boil a little bit.”

I TAKE my hat off to Mike Davidson and 

Brad Mooar for stepping into the ring for 

charity (see page 7). 

Watching boxing from the comfort of 

the couch or stadium seat is completely 

different to being amongst the real thing. 

The boxing gloves get heavy and when the hands drop the 

punches get through. And they hurt. 

Mooar will be used to the rough and tumble from his rugby 

playing days and he’s a bit bigger than Davidson, who says he’s 

never been in a scrap. 

But what did Mark Twain once say? “It’s not the size of the 

dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” 

They’ll find out if they’ve got it on fight night.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Fendalton heavy truck ban unlikely 

FENDALTON residents appear 

to have failed in their bid to 

ban heavy vehicles from using a 

controversial intersection. 

Independent consultants 

Abley were commissioned 

to review the intersection 

of Glandovey and Idris Rds 

and reported back to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

The report said traffic wasn’t 

heavy enough to warrant a ban. 

A city council-commissioned 

traffic modelling forecast came 

to the same conclusion. 

Glandovey, Idris and 

Straven Residents’ Association 

spokesman James Wilding said 

in spite of the results of the 

reports indicating heavy vehicles 

would not be banned, the group 

was still of the view that trucks 

weighing up to 50-tonne which 

pass through the intersection 

should use larger arterial routes. 

“Christchurch and other cities 

have many streets which restrict 

these very heavy vehicles by sign 

or road treatment.” 

He said he believed the issue 

was a “double-standard”. 

“The council seeks 30km/h for 

parts of the CBD, most recently 

St Asaph St, in the interests of 

safety, health and amenity, but is 

unconcerned by its data which 

now shows speeding in the 

suburbs around homes where 

children live.” 

Mr Wilding also said he 

believed some important factors 

had been left out of the report. 

He said the residents’ 

association raised the issue of 

high accident rates on Straven 

Rd and Clarence St, but those 

streets were not included in the 

report. 

“[We] do not know why when 

we raised the issue of traffic and 

safety on roads where there are 

high accident rates, including 

Straven Rd and Clarence St, 

they have not been reported 

on, nor as another example 

the narrowness of roads, for 

SET BACK: 

Reports show 

a ban on heavy 

vehicles is 

unlikely at the 

Glandovey 

and Idris Rds 

intersection. 

example Glandovey Road being 

less than 12m wide in part.” 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald declined to 

comment on the matter at 

this stage, saying he would 

like to have a conversation 

will all involved parties before 

the board would make a 

decision. 

In Brief 

QE II SCHOOLS MEETING 

The Ministry of Education, 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board and Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board met on 

Wednesday to have a “full and 

frank discussion” about feedback 

from local residents on the zoning 

plans for the Avonside Girls 

and Shirley Boys’ High School 

combined campus at QE II Park. 

Papanui-Innes Community Board 

chairwoman Ali Jones said the 

meeting went well, but she could 

not comment further. “[The 

Ministry of Education] took the 

feedback on board and we are 

looking forward to continuing 

our conversation with them,” 

she said. 

TRUST WANTS IDEAS 

The Bishopdale Community 

Trust wants the public to make 

suggestions of new activities to fill 

Tuesday afternoons at Sundbye 

Community House. The activity 

would need to suit the main 

room of Sundbye Community 

House, which seats up to 22 

people. Depending on the 

activity, the trust would ask for a 

gold coin donation to help with 

running costs at the house. Ideas 

can be pitched to community

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Huntly’S exciting 

day out… 

Desexing is classified as a routine, fairly fast 

procedure by most veterinarians but for the 

owner and their pet it is a big deal. It is usually 

the first time the client has had to leave their 

little baby in our trusted hands for a whole 

day bearing in mind its going to have an 

anaesthetic which if not explained properly 

can be very scary for the client. Many clients 

are reluctant to part with their pet so its our 

job to reassure clients, their special pet will be 

ready and waiting for them at the end of the 

day, job done. 

At McMaster & Heap we 

consider routine surgery 

to be a big deal and 

we are very careful to 

explain the whole days 

procedure and follow up 

care very carefully to our 

clients. We don’t want 

our patients scared off 

by the days’ events so 

we are very gentle with 

them. Lets face it, they 

may be patients of ours 

for the next 20 years so 

we need to start off on 

the right paw!! 

Often the puppies have 

visited the clinic before 

for vaccinations and 

puppy playschool so 

have “good feelings” 

about the practice. 

Running around with 

other puppies playing 

chase, getting hugs from 

us all and liver treats 

helps portray our clinic 

as a fun place. With the 

kittens we place them 

in a quiet space and 

have feliway diffusers 

running which naturally 

calm them down. If they 

are particularly stressed 

out they are often given 

their sedative early and 

cuddled by our hospital 

nurse. 

Recently our nurse 

Jaimee had her puppy 

neutered. 

Huntly has been here 

before so bounded 

through the doors. 

We give our clients 

the options of pre 

anaesthetic blood testing 

and intravenous fluids. The blood testing 

can help us detect early subclinical disease 

like diabetes, renal or liver disease. The fluids 

help maintain a healthy blood pressure, help 

remove the anaesthetic from the body, and 

provide an intravenous route should we 

require it. 

On arrival they are thoroughly checked over 

( temperature, heart rate, breathing rate) by 

Michele anaesthetising Huntly.

a theatre nurse, bloods taken if required and 

a catheter placed for an IV line. 30 minutes 

before their operation they are sedated. Once 

anaesthetized they are connected to an 

anaesthetic monitoring device so the nurse 

can easily and accurately track how things 

are going. 

A castration procedure takes about 30 

minutes from start to finish. Basically both 

testicles are removed, the scrotal sac is left 

and there will be a small line of stitches that 

will require removal in 10-14 

days. 

We provide 2 free check ups 

if required. WE often send 

puppies home with a large 

lampshade (Elizabethan 

collar) to prevent them 

ripping at their stitches. We 

do recommend leash exercise 

only until the sutures are 

removed. 

Needless to say Huntly was 

the “star” patient, going to 

sleep when told and waking 

up quietly and quickly. Some 

of our boisterous patients can 

be quite vocal once coming 

around from their anaesthetic. 

Lola finds it quite amusing 

and is often seen checking up 

on them. 

Nearly all of the puppies we 

see through McMaster & Heap 

will be desexed as young 

dogs. We do recommend 

this procedure unless the 

client is keen on breeding/ 

showing. Many serious health 

concerns are eliminated 

by desexing early on, for 

example mammary and 

testicular cancers, pyometras 

and prostate disease. Plus it 

stops unwanted pregnancies, 

roaming dogs and it can 

lessen aggressive behavior 

before bad habits have 

formed. 

Early aggression in puppies 

though requires the help of a 

trained animal behaviouralist 

very early on and possibly 

medications from your vet. 

This sort of issue will not 

simply just right itself. Your 

puppies personality though is 

not affected by the operation. 

Definitely best to have the 

discussion with your vet as we all have 

varying opinions on “the best time”. I give my 

clients the option of waiting until their male 

dog is cocking their leg before castration – 

this usually occurs at 8-10 months of age. 

For any more information and advice on why 

or when to desex, please give anyone of us a 

quick call at the clinic. We’d be happy to help.

Feedback changes Main North Rd plan 

PUBLIC OUTCRY has seen 

plans for upgrades on Main 

North Rd change. 

Late last year the city 

council asked the public to 

give feedback on a package of 

proposed changes aimed at 

giving buses priority on Main 

North Rd and improving traffic 

flows. 

Among the changes proposed 

were a new full-time bus lane 

running north from Harewood 

Rd to Grassmere St and new bus 

priority measures at the Main 

North and Sawyers Arms Rds 

intersection. 

The proposed changes 

drew 197 submissions from the 

public. 

Fifty-six of those submissions 

supported the bus priority 

proposal, while another 58 

supported it but raised some 

concerns. 

Seventy-three submissions 

did not support the bus priority 

measures. 

The loss of on-street parking 

spaces to allow for bus priority 

was one of the main concerns 

raised by submitters. 

Submitters also raised 

concerns about how the 

proposed changes would affect 

access to Grassmere St. 

“The project team has 

considered all the feedback and 

is recommending some changes 

to the original proposal,” city 

council transport planning and 

delivery manager Lynette Ellis 

said 

“The amended proposals will 

be presented to the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board at their 

next meeting on 24 August,’’ she 

said. 

If the proposed changes are 

approved by the board and the 

city council, construction is 

expected to start towards the 

middle of next year.

Work to start 

this month on 

bridge lanes 

THE CONSTRUCTION of two 

new lanes over the Waimakariri 

Bridge is set to begin by the end 

of the month. 

An additional north-bound 

lane will help merging traffic 

from Main North Rd, the 

Western Belfast Bypass and the 

Northern Corridor. 

The extra south-bound lane 

will help ease traffic and also be 

used as a high occupancy vehicle 

lane during morning peak times. 

Work is set to be complete by 

the end of next year. 

The third lane will be 

added on the inside of both the 

north-bound and south-bound 

bridges. 

The new 25m steel bridge spans 

will be placed on strengthened 

head stocks using a crane. 

A separate clip on cycleway will 

be constructed on the outside of 

the south-bound bridge. 

Provision was made for extra 

lanes when the bridge was built 

in the 1970s. However, standards 

have changed since so further 

strengthening is needed to take 

the additional weight and width. 

During construction one lane 

on either bridge will be regularly 

closed during off-peak hours.

WINNERS: Ian

Dinh and Des 

Banks have 

won the battle 

to not have 

the bus stops 

moved from 

in front of 

their Innes Rd 

businesses. 

Bus stop moves dumped 


OPPOSITION FROM Mairehau 

business owners over the 

proposed relocation of bus stops 

has prompted the city council to 

withdraw its plan. 

Thirty written submissions 

were received by the city council 

on the plan to move bus stops 

outside a row of shops on Innes 

Rd as a result of route changes to 

the Orbiter and No 44 buses. 

Out of the 30 submissions, 77 

per cent opposed the changes 

and 10 were in support. 

City council passenger transport 

engineer Peter Rodgers said 

the plan to relocate the bus stops 

to 395 and 492 Innes Rd would 

not be presented to the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board. 

“It is clear that the majority of 

the community do not support 

the proposal.” 

“However, council staff will 

further investigate the possibility 

of bus stops, further west on each 

side of Innes Rd, to accommodate 

easier passenger crossings 

and connecting between the 

proposed 44 and Orbiter routes, 

after the proposed 44 route 

changes come into effect,” he said 

in an email to submitters. 

Flower Bazaar owners Des 

Banks and Ian Harvey were 

“elated” that the proposal had 

been withdrawn. 

Mr Harvey said he was pleased 

the city council listened to protests 

from the shop owners. 

“We feel like winners,” he said. 

“It wasn’t a competition or 

anything, but just a win for small 

businesses for a change . . . it was 

a real positive in the end, it just 

shows you how many people love 

the little shops.” 

2000 sign Cranford St petition 

•From page 1 

“It seems like the council is 

listening to contractors and 

caring about financial interests 

more than the people that they’re 

supposed to represent,” Mr 

Wilson said. 

Mr Harvey said he was 

surprised to find that out of more 

than 400 submissions on the 

plan, two-thirds supported the 

proposal. 

“We thought 

that’s pretty 

stink really, 

because our 

feeling from 

being in the 

community 

and talking to 

people was that 

Ali Jones 

people thought it was a dumb 

idea.” 

He said an increased amount 

of cars driving through 

residential streets could pose 

a risk to children and elderly 

people in the area. 

“The whole thing is not good 

for kids travelling on their bikes 

to school and to the park. And 

[elderly people] are concerned 

about being able to walk around

proposal. Community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones said 

she could not comment on the 

petition at this stage, but she 

was open to hearing how the 

community felt about the issue. 

“The opportunity for the 

community to feedback and 

engage with the council and 

the community board is really 

important on this and any issue 

that concerns people living 

and working in our wards,” she 

said. 

“The council is consulting 

much more than they are 

required to, which has to be a 

positive for everyone.”

Now 


City councillor versus a Crusader 


FOR THE next few weeks, city 

councillor Mike Davidson will 

don boxing gloves as he prepares 

for the fight of his life. 

Davidson has put his hand 

up for the OneStaff Fight for 

Christchurch. His opponent? 

Crusaders assistant coach Brad 

Mooar. 

“I don’t think I’m going to be 

the crowd favourite, but I guess 

it’s about time the Crusaders had 

a loss,” Davidson said. 

With no boxing experience to 

speak of, Davidson will square 

up against Mooar in an effort to 

raise money for his chosen charity 

Cure Kids. 

“It’s called Fight for Christchurch, 

but for me, it’s fighting for 

the kids. That’s the real motivator 

for me.” 

He said he was trying not to 

think too much about the big 

fight on November 3, focusing 

instead on honing his skills. 

“I’m not a boxer so I don’t 

know what it’s like to take a 

punch, but I guess I’ll find out 

very shortly,” he said. 

Davidson recently met with 

Mooar so each could size up their 

opponent. 

“I met him the other week and 

he’s a lot taller than me.” 

“I’m going to give it my all, and 

hopefully if there’s anyone with 

their butt on the canvas it’s going 

to be him, not me.” 

Mooar like Davidson doesn’t 

have any boxing experience and 

thought the playing field would 

be level. “It seems like we’re 

pretty evenly matched. He’s a fit 

guy, he’s going to have a better 

fitness base than me I think,” he

said. “I don’t know if my rugby 

experience gives me an upper 

hand, but I think it will be useful. 

You can have a battle plan but it 

tends to work until the first shot 

is fired.” 

Mooar chose Conductive Education 

Canterbury as his charity 

to support, and had a chance to 

visit the children at the centre 

last week. 

“There are people with some 

massive challenges in there, and 

the teachers and teacher aides 

are leading a superb schooling 

system and growth environment 

for those children and their 

families.” 

“It feels right to me to be supporting 

a charity that is helping 

kids find their spark.” 

•The OneStaff Fight for 

Christchurch takes place on 

November 3 at Horncastle 

Arena.

Community garden 

sprouts up in Burnside 


BURNSIDERS WILL be able to lounge 

around and enjoy the sun in their new 

community garden. 

The Monarch Community Garden 

on Kendal Ave sprang to life through 

the combined efforts of Housing New 

Zealand, the Bishopdale Menzshed, Clean 

Up Canterbury and several working bees 

attended by local residents and school 

children. 

The land for the garden was donated 

by St Timothy’s Anglican Church in 

Burnside. 

Burnside resident Jacqui Stringfellow 

said the idea for a garden came after it was 

brought up at a Housing New Zealand 

meeting. 

“I think originally the residents thought 

WORKING BEE: 

Bishopdale 

Menzshed 

members Dave 

Crawford and 

Lance Saunders 

put together a 

planter box in 

the Monarch 

Community 

Garden. 

‘I love this idea but will it really happen?’ 

And I’m a very proactive person, so if you 

want it to happen, it’ll happen.” 

She said the support from local groups 

and organisations had been “amazing”. 

“All the working bees to get it all planted 

and sorted have been just amazing.” 

“I went to drop some flyers around the 

area and people were like ‘oh my gosh, it 

really did happen’. So it’s really exciting 

for the community and people that have 

gotten involved.” 

Bishopdale Menzshed member Richard 

Rendle said the group built and positioned 

the planter boxes, put together some 

old pallets to make compost bins and 

assembled a garden shed. 

“The community benefits and Menzshed 

members feel they are doing something 

useful in their retirement.”

Potholed car park may be sealed 

CERTIFICATES: Selwyn House School students and their 

coach with Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner. 

Cycleway project earns high 

praise for Sewlyn House girls 

AN INNOVATIVE school 

project to promote the city’s 

cycleway network has won 

international honours and high 

praise from Deputy Mayor 

Andrew Turner. 

The achievements of nine 

Selwyn House School students 

were acknowledged by the city 

council at a presentation of 

special certificates. 

Cleo McLeod, Sophie 

Hodgson, Lucy Maynard, Miya 

Hartstonge, Reed McHugh, 

Alice Hunter, Bonnie Smith, 

Phoebe Donald and Kate 

Gourley – along with their 

teacher and coach Adele Staples 

– shared their idea and Future 

Problem Solving adventure with 

councillors. 

The students used a lasercutter 

and 3D printer to create 

bike cut-outs that could be 

decorated and hidden in places 

along the new cycle routes for 

cyclists to discover, encouraging 

families and youngsters to grab 

their bikes and hunt for the new 

shapes. 

They plan to launch their 

#LetsBikeChristchurch 

project in October. Cr Turner 

congratulated the students for 

scooping third spot with their 

#LetsBikeChristchurch initiative 

at the Future Problem Solving 

international conference in 

La Crosse, Wisconsin, United 

States. 

“For a group of young people 

to come up with this wonderful 

idea to attract people to our 

cycleway network and then 

present the idea in a highlycompetitive 

environment is a 

truly impressive achievement,” 

he said.

PART OF the potholed car park 

in New Brighton’s Hawke St may 

finally be sealed. 

A temporary fix was made this 

month when the owner of the 

old Funky Pumpkin building 

arranged for the potholes on 

a section of the car park to 

be filled with 

gravel, says 

New Brighton 

Business and 

landowners 

Association 

manager Paul 

Lonsdale. 

Some of the 

Paul 

Lonsdale 

property owners 

have also now 

got quotes on the 

cost of repairing the potholes, 

he said. The estimated cost is 

$50,000 for the whole car park to 

be fixed. 

The plan is to undertake 

the work when the weather 

improves, he said. The rest of the 

car park remains potholed as a 

result of having multiple private 

owners and the cost of repairs. 

He said some of the properties 

do not have tenants, meaning 

there is no financial benefit for 

the owners to fix the potholes. 

Concerns have been raised 

about the state of the car park 

on the Peoples Independent 

Republic of New Brighton

One commenter said she 

had driven into a large pothole 

which “destroyed” her tyre 

and damaged paint under the 

bumper. 

Paper Plus New Brighton 

owner Blair Hughes said 

he would like Development 

Christchurch Ltd to help pay 

for pothole repairs. A DCL 

spokeswoman said it has no 

authority to take action or force 

landowners to address the issues. 

“There is also a question over 

whether public money should 

be used to upgrade private 

property,” she said.

Wallace wins boot full of trophies 

SPORTS 

TROPHY HAUL: Sam Wallace has hauled in the trophies during a successful second season of 

car racing. 

PHOTO: ANJ HAWKINS. 


AFTER THE season St Andrew’s 

College student Sam Wallace 

has had behind the wheel, he’ll 

need to build a trophy 

cabinet in the 

off-season. 

The 18-year-old 

won both the Toyo 

Tires Mazda Pro7 

Racing South Island 

and New Zealand 

championships. 

The South Island 

championship is held 

over seven weekends at 

four different circuits 

in the South Island. 

Wallace won trophies 

and got on the podium in every 

round. 

He also won trophies for fastest 

lap of the year at three of the four 

circuits – Ruapuna Speedway, 

Highlands Motorsport Park 

in Central Otago, and Levels 

Sam Wallace 

Raceway in Timaru. Wallace has 

achieved this in only his second 

season of racing and he plans to 

compete again next season in 

the same category to defend his 

tittles. He will then trial 

for a Toyota 86 scholarship 

next year. 

“My dad (Paul) and 

I were big fans of it,” 

he said. “We’d watch 

formula one and the V8s 

together, but I hadn’t 

raced anything until two 

years ago.” 

Wallace’s grandfather 

David raced Minis in 

the 1970s and often did 

quarter-mile races in a 

Boss 302 Mustang and a 

Datsun 240Z. 

“For me, I have a belief that if 

you love something, you should 

give it a go. I have great sponsors 

behind me as well as my dad and 

I wouldn’t be anywhere without 

them.”

had his first taste of international 

competition at the Fencing 

Junior Commonwealth Games 

in England. 

The 20-year-old, who lives in 

Bishopdale, finished 34th overall 

at the games. 

“I think the result was a fair 

reflection of where I’ve been in 

the lead-up to the event,” James 

said. 

“I’ve had injuries to both my

CHRISTCHURCH United FC Academy 

has had an unprecedented run of success 

with their under-13, under-14 and 

under-15 teams all claiming Mainland 

Football championships in premier 

divisions. 

The success of the academy’s teams 

has been an affirmation of the player 

development work. The professional 

coaches at Christchurch United 

have made this a priority over the 

past six seasons at the state-of-theart 

Christchurch Football Centre in 

Yaldhurst. 

Academy director Colin Williamson 

said the investment in quality coaching is 

really starting to pay off. This investment 

was initially made through the 

Christchurch Football Academy and then 

the Christchurch United Football Club 

after the two merged in 2016. 

“Our club president Slava Meyn started 

the academy programme back in 2014 to 

develop the best possible players for New 

Zealand Football. And their individual 

and team success at the local level is a 

sign that we are on the right track,” said 

Williamson. 

The Dutch coach arrived at the start 

of the current season after a long career 

as an academy coach with professional 

clubs like PSV Eindhoven in the 

Netherlands. He has further improved the 

structures and planning of development 

programmes for Christchurch United’s 

players and coaches. 

Williamson works closely with 

Christchurch United first team coach 

Fernando Lambert, and both coaches also 

look after one of the academy teams. 

Williamson said the basis of each team’s 

success has been the technical and tactical 

development of players. 

The under-13 and under-10 teams 

recently won the Christchurch 

International Cup and the success has not 

gone unnoticed. 

“We are being approached for several 

tournaments in New Zealand and 

abroad, so it will be good for our teams to 

challenge themselves against other clubs 

as well,” Williamson said.

United FC Academy 

SKILLS: Riley Caswell has received 

glowing reviews. 

The under-13 side will play in a highcalibre 

Auckland tournament next 

month. 

Two older Christchurch United 

players have already been exposed to 

overseas experience, with 17-year-old 

Riley Caswell and Hamish Cooper 

spending time with Australian club 

Sydney FC. 

Caswell received glowing reviews after 

his week with the club’s first team, while 

Cooper is currently training with the 

Sydney FC Academy. 

Williamson is pleased Christchurch 

United can offer players opportunities 

that may not have been available a few 

years ago. 

“And then it is up to the players to take 

those opportunities. Our academy can 

prepare the players the best we can, but 

it will be fascinating to see how many 

of these youngsters will be able to push 

on and represent Canterbury and New 

Zealand in the future.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and 

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 

Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most 

deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass and the 

lowest scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration 

and brain performance. Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains 

and score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet 

another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and declining cognitive 

function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health, 

regulation of mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair, and 

prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that 

is known to cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. It can 

also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a 

34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+ 

who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk of 

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s 

ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system 

becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other drugs 

further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in the form of 

Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the mouth 

and thru bypassing the digestive tract have been shown to effectively 

raise B12 levels in the body.

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. 

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain 

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing, 

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

Grape seeds shown 

to have remarkable 

health benefits! 

According to researchers grape seeds may 

hold the potential to treat and prevent many 

devastating disorders. The seeds have been 

found to contain many powerful antioxidant 

that have been shown to support the natural 

healing process and even slow the aging process. 

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown to 

reduce inflammation, pain, increase cell energy, 

protect protein structures and increase collagen 

production. The powerful antioxidants can 

tone and strengthen the blood vessels, improve 

blood flow, making it valuable for circulatory 

disorders of all kinds, including varicose veins, 

haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries and impaired blood flow 

to the brain. It is excellent for most skin conditions with many 

noticing the skin becomes smoother. 

GSE offers a natural alternative for many people with 

hypertension. (High Blood Pressure) Higher B/P puts more 

stress on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the 

arteries) and increased risk of heart disease and strokes. 

Recent studies on people with elevated B/P found GSE to 

significantly lower B/P but with no effect on people with normal 

B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to improve heart function, 

reduce damage caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial plaque. 

A growing number of studies show that GSE has powerful 

anticancer properties, can help balance blood sugar, improve 

arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove vital in the treatment 

of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. 

Numerous studies on GSE show it can help support 

our good health and prevent many degenerative 

diseases. Further detailed information is available

Ear Health Canterbury has been 

providing a microscopic ear cleaning 

service in Canterbury for 19 years 

From small beginnings in 1999 

where monthly clinics were held in the 

Christchurch Hearing Association in 

Beveridge Street the service expanded 

rapidly as clients discovered and appreciated 

the benefits of micro suction technology. 

Twelve months later clinics had increased 

to 5 days a week and with the help of more 

trained Registered nurses and Reception 

staff clinics opened in Rangiora, Ashburton 

Timaru Temuka and Waimate. 

In 2004 the clinic moved with the 

Hearing Association to larger premises at 

275 Riccarton Road. They remain there 

today offering a Monday to Saturday service 

and a popular and busy mobile service to 

Retirement Villages, Rest Home residents 

and to people with mobility difficulties in 

their private homes. 

While a weekly clinic is still held in 

Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics 

are now under new Management. 

Many conditions affecting the outer 

ear canal can be treated and monitored at 

Ear Health including infections, relieving 

impacted wax and removal of foreign 

bodies. Preventative education is also 

offered and for those with hearing aids due 

to sensorineural hearing loss Ear Health has 

accredited ACC and War Pension funding 

This safe, accessible, affordable ear care is 

provided to all age groups in a client focused 

environment with the nurses working 

collaboratively with General Practitioners, 

Audiologists, Hearing Therapists and 

Secondary Care Consultants. 

Maintaining good ear hygiene has 

many benefits. It can improve hearing and 

balance, reduce the symptoms of tinnitus, 

improve the effectiveness of hearing 

aids and reduce the incidence of aural 

infections. Most importantly, this then 

enhances quality of life.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of 

dampness 

in your house 

The 

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. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd is a locally owned and 

operated firm. The team 

understands the problems 

caused by rising damp and are 

there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump 

a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted 

for our New Zealand conditions and 

applications it provides a layer of protection 

against rising moisture. An unexpected 

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam 

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many 

owners of properties which had underfloor 

foam concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes.
