ST BEDE’S College’s Casper 

McCormick (above) claimed 

the under-18 longboard title for 

a second year running to help 

Canterbury create history by 

winning the national scholastic 

surfing championships in 

Gisborne. 

It was the first time Canterbury 

or a South Island team had 

won the event which celebrated 

its 30th year. 

McCormick defended his title 

with a stylish approach netting 

him a 13.2 point total well clear 

of his opponents Joel McMullen 

(Auckland), Ben Counsell 

(Auckland) and Billy Whelan 

(Northland) who finished second 

through fourth respectively.

In a three-way battle with 

defending champions Bay 

of Plenty and the impressive 

Auckland team, the lead 

switched several times 

throughout the final day as 

surfers were eliminated from the 

event. 

McCormick’s performance 

helped Canterbury take a solid 

lead that they never let go. 

Shirley Boys’ High’s Myka 

Black claimed the Adam Clegg 

breakthrough performance 

award which came on the back 

of form throughout the event 

until he came unstuck in the 

semi-finals finishing fifth overall 

in the under-16 division.

CONFLICT WITHIN the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board prompted an independent 

facilitator to be 

called in. 

Nor’West 

News can reveal 

a facilitator 

spoke to board 

members at a 

behind closed 

door meeting 

on September 

24. They are 

brought in 

by the city 

council to help 

resolve issues 

between elected 

members. The 

facilitator cost $575. 

John Stringer 

Ali Jones 

On Friday, board chairwoman 

Ali Jones refused to discuss why 

the independent facilitator was 

needed. 

The conflict on the board is 

primarily between Ms Jones 

and outspoken board member 

John Stringer, Nor’West News 

understands. 

Last month, Ms Jones told 

Nor’West News Mr Stringer 

was a “relative newcomer to the 

board” who “needed clarification 

regarding the process.”

from the editor’s desk 

THE PAPANUI-INNES Community 

Board needs to come clean and tell the 

public what’s going on inside their board. 

We report on page 1 today how an independent 

facilitator – that’s a fancy term 

for a referee – needed to be called into help 

resolve problems within the board. 

The board, chaired by public relations consultant Ali Jones, is 

refusing to say what the specific issues are. 

But clearly there’s a clash between outspoken board member 

John Stringer and Jones. We hear board members don’t 

like Stringer talking to the media – particularly about the 

controversial Main North Rd bus lane issue. 

So I’m going to give the board some good PR advice: Tell your 

constituents what’s going on. 

There’s an election next year.

Battle against buses on quiet streets 


MAIREHAU RESIDENTS are 

waiting to hear whether buses 

will be re-routed through their 

quiet streets. 

Environment Canterbury 

received 133 submissions on a 

proposal that would see No 44 

bus redirected to and from Innes 

Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield 

Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers Rd, 

Ranger St and Nancy Ave. 

The project would coincide 

with the Northern Corridor 

opening, which would stop right 

turns by the Orbiter bus in and 

out of the QE II Dr end of Philpotts 

Rd. 

ECan is in the process of 

reviewing the submissions 

before they could report back to 

submitters. 

The proposed re-route came 

after a group of 80 retirees 

presented a petition to ECan 

pleading with it to reconsider 

route changes to the Orbiter 

which would see the nearest bus 

stop be moved almost 1km away 

from the Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village. 

Nancy Ave resident Resch 

Fowler said she hoped a “middle 

ground” could be established 

as the buses would disrupt the 

“quiet” side streets. 

WAITING GAME: Mairehau residents are waiting to hear back from Environment Canterbury 

about a proposed bus re-route that could send buses down their quiet streets. 

“There was a whole range of 

options put forward by 

the community, including 

turning bays on Philpotts Rd,” 

she said. 

“The ideal outcome would 

be the turning bay because 

that enables residents at the 

retirement village to still have 

access to that bus. It’s certainly 

not about taking away that 

service from others in the 

community who need it, but 

finding something that works for 

everyone.” 

She said she had attended 

neighbourhood meetings with 

residents of the retirement village 

to discuss the issue. 

“I think for the retirement 

OPTION ONE 

home they would like the Orbiter 

to remain, but obviously that’s 

not going to happen. But I 

understand that two or three 

blocks is a long way to travel for 

them to get to a bus stop, so I 

really think the turning bay and 

shifting the stops will help them 

without having a big impact on 

us.”

PARKING RESTRICTIONS 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board approved 

parking restrictions on a street 

outside Mairehau Primary 

School. Representatives of the 

school recently approached 

city council with the request 

to look into the congestion 

issues being experienced on 

Mahars Rd during school 

drop-off and pick-up times. 

The proposal would see six 

parking spaces on Mahars Rd 

removed, and signs indicating 

a time limit of 3min between 

the hours of 8.15am to 9.15am 

and 2.30pm to 3.30pm on 

school days. 

CLARIFICATION 

The Nor’West News incorrectly 

reported in an article last 

week that resource consent for 

a Pak’nSave in Papanui had 

been granted. The resource 

consent is still being processed 

by the city council. The 

supermarket and adjoining 

fuel pumps would be built 

on Main North Rd, near the 

intersection of Main North 

and Northcote Rds. The 

supermarket would also be 

used as an emergency hub 

with facilities to cater for 

disaster response.

Stringer and 

Jones continue 

to clash 

•From page 1 

Mr Stringer has been outspoken 

about decisions made by 

the board over the Main North 

Rd bus priority project. 

Ms Jones’ comment 

prompted an angry response 

from Mr Stringer, who claimed 

confidentiality had been 

breached. 

“We all strictly agreed 

together as colleagues there 

would be no comment about 

the meeting or what was said,” 

he said. 

“I’m disappointed my 

chairwoman appears to have 

breached that commitment we 

all made.” 

Mr Stringer did not return 

calls to Nor’West News on 

Friday about the presence of an 

independent facilitator at the 

September 24 meeting. 

Said Ms Jones on Friday: “It 

was agreed upon by everyone 

at that meeting that it would be 

held in confidence. 

“There’s a lot at play here, 

and I don’t like playing games. 

Some people do, but I’m not 

going to buy into that until this 

process has been completed.” 

CLEAN GREEN KIWIS: A group of high school students have cleaned up New Brighton Beach. 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NEW BRIGHTON Beach is 

looking a whole lot sharper after 

a group including Burnside 

High, St Bede’s College and 

Shirley Boys’ High students 

volunteered their time to tidy it 

up. The clean-up on Wednesday 

was organised by One School 

Network – a group of students 

from different schools across the 

city. 

The group also included 

students from Mairehau High 

and Marian College. 

Marian College deputy head 

girl Olivia Altenburg-Carey 

said the students wanted to do 

something in the community 

before they went on study leave 

for exams. 

“You don’t need much for a 

beach clean up. It’s always fun 


Local 


Now 

St Bede’s, Burnside and Shirley 

students help clean up beach 


to get together and we could do 

some good at the same time,” 

Olivia said. Bags of rubbish were 

collected by the students. 

“Ten bags of rubbish, which 

doesn’t sound like much, but it’s 

10 bags of rubbish no longer on 

the beach, which is great.”

Sore Feet and Kid Athletes 

Pushing ourselves to be our best during 

practice and our chosen sporting event makes 

for some very sore feet. Sever’s disease is a 

common heel injury that occurs in kids as a 

result of physical activity. 

The heels of their feet will most likely 

become painful and they will experience pain, 

however Sever’s disease is a temporary ailment 

with no long-term effects. Papanui Foot Clinic 

to the rescue. 

The Papanui Foot Clinic are experts in 

assisting your child with the resources for a 

quick and long-term recovery. 

Sever’s disease, known as calcaneal 

apophysitis, is a painful bone disorder which 

is the result of inflammation or the swelling of 

the growth plate in a child’s heel. It is the most 

common cause of heel pain in growing children, 

especially those who are physically active. 

Such stress commonly results from physical 

activities, specifically sports that involve 

running and jumping. Especially those that 

take place on hard surfaces, such as track, 

basketball, soccer, and gymnastics. 

Poor-fitting shoes can contribute to the 

condition by not providing enough support or 

padding for the feet or by rubbing against the 

back of the heel. 

It usually occurs during the growth spurt of 

adolescence, any time between the ages of 8 

and 13 for both boys and girls. 

The most obvious sign of Sever’s disease 

is pain or tenderness in one or both heels, 

usually at the back. The pain also might 

extend to the sides and bottom of the heel, 

ending near the arch of the foot. 

Ian Graham is a well known expert in this 

field and The Papanui Foot Clinic is your first 

call for relief.

St Albans residents feel their 

Residents in St Albans 

are worried that the 

suburb is disappearing 

and being taken over 

by Edgeware and 

Mairehau. Ashleigh 

Monk reports 

ST ALBANS residents feel their 

identity is disappearing. 

Due to the introduction of 

post codes and business naming 

changes, the suburb is being 

taken over by others such as 

Edgeware and Mairehau – and 

residents want it to stop. 

St Albans Residents’ 

Association co-chairwoman 

Emma Twaddell said the 

suburb’s identity started slipping 

away in 2006 after New Zealand 

Post brought in post codes. 

“They made up the names 

of the post codes without any 

involvement from people . . . the 

numbers don’t line up at all. Half 

of St Albans is called Mairehau 

and the heart of St Albans, 

Edgeware Village, is now called 

Edgeware,” she said. 

“It’s just due to the fact that 

corporates are lazy and have got 

no respect for communities.” 

She said it was important for 

people living in the area to feel 

like part of the community, but it 

was hard when the lines between 

suburbs were blurred. 

“It seems like it’s not a big 

issue, but if you understand 

community development, then 

you understand the issues that 

these things cause for people, 

because they don’t attach 

themselves to an area.” 

Ms Twaddell said she had 

approached NZ Post about 

the issue, but was told it was a 

matter for the city council. 

“It’s really about the city 

council working with NZ Post 

and Land Information New 

Zealand to get rid of the post 

code names. That’s all they have 

RESPECT:

Association

Emma

residents to 

be able to 

identify with 

their suburb 

– but she 

says it’s hard 

when other 

suburbs are 

encroaching 

on it. 

to do and it will be solved,” she 

said. 

“I just think that this is where 

the authorities let themselves 

down, they’re not respecting 

the people of the city that 

they’re actually supposed to be 

looking after. They don’t think 

these things are important, but 

for building communities and 

building community spirit it has 

got huge consequences.” 

Ma Baker bakery owner Paul 

Garven said he had always 

know his shop to be a part of 

Edgeware, and even the mailing 

address was listed as Edgeware. 

“That’s news to me, I’ve 

learned something today . . . 

I don’t actually think I knew 

where the hub of St Albans was,” 

he said. 

“We’ve only had the business 

here for about six years. The 

bakery that was here before was 

KB’s and that was always just 

known as KB’s Edgeware, and 

that was since about 30 years 

ago.” 

St Albans Pharmacy owner 

Malcolm Pearce said he thought 

there was definitely a “blurring 

of lines” between Edgeware and 

St Albans. 

“I suppose in my mind 

Edgeware has always just been a 

sub-set of St Albans,” he said. 

Four schools also fell within 

the zone for St Albans kids – 

St Albans School, St Albans 

Catholic School, St Francis of 

Assisi and Mairehau Primary. 

Mairehau Primary principal 

John Bangma said he was 

not aware St Albans was 

‘disappearing’ but he felt the 

same way about Mairehau.

identity is disappearing 

“Over the years I would have 

thought it was Mairehau struggling 

to retain its independence. 

From my observations in my 

time there, real estate agents 

often list houses in our area as St 

Albans or Shirley,” he said. 

A NZ Post spokesperson said 

post codes were not linked to 

suburb boundaries. 

“Post code boundaries are 

maintained by New Zealand Post 

and are used to ensure efficient 

sorting of mail,” they said. 

“There is no relationship 

between an allocated post code 

and a suburb name. Post codes 

are used by New Zealand Post 

for mail delivery purposes and 

are not mutually exclusive to a 

suburb. One post code can cross 

many suburbs.” 

A city council spokeswoman 

said it did not have any say in 

altering suburb names. 

Land Information New 

Zealand listed St Albans as a 

suburb – making it one of the 

few suburbs in the city that were 

officially gazetted. 

“The New Zealand Geographical 

Board processed a proposal 

in 2010, resulting in this suburb 

name becoming official in 2011,” 

a LINZ spokeswoman said. 

Edgeware Business Association 

spokesperson and Fresh- 

Choice Edgeware owner Stephen 

Anderson said that while the 

village was in the “heart of St 

Albans”, most people referred to 

it as Edgeware. 

“Whether it’s deliberate or by 

accident, I’m not sure, but I do 

think St Albans is disappearing,” 

he said. 

HUB: Ma 

Baker 

bakery 

owner Paul 

Garven said 

he had no 

idea his 

shop was 

a part of 

St Albans 

as his mail 

always 

had an 

Edgeware 

post code 

attached. 

“We have a very unique community 

in St Albans. It’s one of 

those few suburbs that are left in 

Christchurch where we haven’t 

got big malls, so it has a nice 

feel. I think with the Edgeware 

Village atmosphere it gets a bit 

blurred.” 

He said the plans to upgrade 

Cranford St by putting in clearways 

and redirecting 

traffic would further “destroy” 

the area. 

“If the plan goes through, 

it’s going to split St Albans in 

half. It’s basically like putting 

what is essentially a motorway 

through the middle of St Albans. 

It will become a real divide for 

us.” 

FAST FACTS 

•St Albans became a 

suburb of Christchurch 

in 1903 after being its 

own borough since 1881. 

•St Albans was named 

after resident George 

Dickinson’s farm. He had 

called his farm St Albans 

in memory of his cousin 

Harriet Mellon, a British 

actress who had become 

the Duchess of St Albans 

after marrying William 

Beauclerk, the ninth Duke 

of St Albans.

Bringing Shirley community closer together 

Steve 

Jones- 

Poole of 

the Shirley 

Village 

Project 

talks 

about the 

potential 

to make 

Shirley a ‘colourful and 

connected community’ 

THE PHRASE ‘it takes a village 

to raise a child’ is one that we 

have all heard, but how often 

do we ask ourselves ‘what does 

it take to create the village that 

is needed to raise a child?’ and 

‘what is my part in that village?’ 

In Shirley, people from community 

organisations, NGO’s, 

agencies and some residents have 

all come together to create the 

Shirley Village Project because 

they believe the answer to those 

questions lie within the neighbourhood. 

The Shirley Village Project has 

a shared vision of Shirley as a 

caring, colourful and connected 

community where people’s needs 

are met. 

The organisations realise they 

only make up part of what is 

needed to create solutions. 

Shirley residents’ knowledge 

and involvement are also needed 

to achieve solutions to the issues 

that are important to residents 

and organisations. 

Together they can develop local 

solutions to local problems. 

The Shirley Village Project has 

already started several initiatives. 

During the winter, organisations 

and residents worked together 

to provide firewood to 

WARM WINTER: 

The Shirley Village 

Project worked 

together with 

members of the 

community to 

provide firewood to 

families who have 

cold homes. 

families who had cold homes, 

and organisations and community 

groups are supporting local 

young people to get employment 

by providing skills training and 

support to get driver licences. 

During October, the Shirley 

Village Project is inviting residents 

to contribute by completing 

a survey on the things that 

are important to them in their 

neighbourhood. 

These are the things that 

residents and organisations will 

work on together during 2019 to 

bring about change. 

The survey is available through 

the Shirley community groups 

and organisations, the Shirley 

public library, at local health 

providers, hairdressers, and early 

childhood centres.

community or know more

Readers react to a report 

of a dangerous pedestrian 

crossing on Innes Rd 

Andrew Johnson – One of 

those 40km/h areas might help, 

although I’m constantly amazed 

at how many drivers ignore those 

flashing signs. 

Marianne McKinney 

Zonneveld – Here in Australia 

drivers stop when they see 

pedestrians walking towards 

a crossing. Drivers need to be 

reeducated and stop this mad 

need for speed. It is all a matter 

of respect for others. Sadly 

lacking. 

Readers react to the oak 

trees causing trouble for a 

Harewood couple 

Gary Knight – Surely the issue 

of oak trees eroding sunlight 

to Harewood residents Graeme 

and Diane Barber’s property 

is easily rectified devoid of the 

necessity for any city council 

bureaucracy. The demarcation 

criteria of whether the six 16m 

oak trees are classified as reserve 

or street status can be directed 

back to their origin. Originally 

planted in the Pasadena Reserve 

makes them surely reserve classified 

and a council responsibility 

for their removal. The proposed 

road having never been actioned 

further enforces the status thus 

relying on the good faith of the 

city council to remove the oaks 

and allow a return of unimpeded 

sunlight to Graeme and Diane in 

their urban space. 

Readers react to a new 

Pak’nSave being proposed 

for Papanui 

Jan Driscoll – That will be fun 

for shoppers, that intersection is 

nuts, trying to get in and out of 

the supermarket is fraught with 

danger and with the bus priority 

lanes coming in along the road 

oh boy. Think they should have 

an ambulance station there too, 

quick response for the mayhem. 

Just joking, but seriously. I can see 

why they want to build there as 

the petrol pumps will be a bonus 

but ease of access won’t be. 

Kaci Lane – Why the hell 

are people mad about this? This 

is growth, this is a good thing. 

This isn’t costing the taxpayer 

a cent so the cost of this really 

doesn’t matter to any of you. 

Christchurch is a growing 

city. Christchurch is expanding 

big and fast. This is good, not 

bad. Why do people always have 

to be negative and point out the 

bad rather than focusing on the 

positive? 

Tania Goodman – What a 

waste of money, what is wrong 

with the Pak’nSave now? You 

have Pak’nSave and Countdown 

at Northlands two minutes up 

the road. 

Ashley Crook – Why not a 

New World? Papanui already has 

a Pak’nSave. 

Raelene Candy – Even 

though its closer to me it seems 

a bit ridiculous with one just up 

the road a bit.

Long ride for Redwood cancer survivor 


WHEN REDWOOD’S Chris 

Jones embarked on a cycling 

journey to Auckland he knew it 

would be hard – but not as hard 

as living with prostate cancer. 

The 66-year-old cycled 1500km 

from Christchurch to Auckland 

to raise money and awareness for 

the disease which he has battled 

himself. 

“I’m one of the fortunate guys 

who can get out and ride his bike. 

Some men, sadly, are not here, 

some others with prostate cancer 

find riding a bike too uncomfortable.” 

Mr Jones wanted to encourage 

men to see the doctor when 

something was wrong. 

“Sometimes blokes, if I can be 

blunt, need to be passing blood 

before they actually see a doctor. 

They think it’s going to get better 

and it doesn’t,” he said. 

“A lot of men spend a lot of 

time and money on their motor 

cars. They think nothing of taking 

the car in for a check-up or 

warrant of fitness, but they never

Auckland. 

take themselves in for a check up 

or full medical . . . and the family 

would much rather have dad 

around than a nice, shiny car in 

a garage.” 

Through his Facebook page, 

Mr Jones honours one man each 

day who has died from prostate 

cancer. 

He said he met with the families 

of some of the victims during 

his journey. 

“It was great to meet all these 

people, I made a lot of connections. 

They were so supportive of 

me, I even had a few young boys 

make a sign to welcome me on 

one leg of the trip.” 

Mr Jones said he aimed to 

cover about 100km a day, but 

each day brought on a new set of 

challenges. 

“On the third day, I had a 

strong head-wind and rain for 

130km. It made the nice days 

seem really great,” he said. 

“I budgeted on about 100km 

a day but, of course, you have to 

vary it according to where your 

accommodation is and things 

like that. The shortest day was 

about 35km and the longest day 

was 212km.” 

Mr Jones almost doubled his 

fundraising goal of $5000, raising 

more tan $9000 by the time he 

finished his trip.

Top young piper follows in father’s footsteps 


A YOUNG bagpiper following in 

his father’s footsteps has earned 

the first ever national young piper 

of the year award. 

Year 11 St Andrew’s College 

student Campbell Wilson was 

“stoked” to have won the title, 

which he earned after taking 

part in the young piper of the 

year solo piping competition in 

Nelson. 

“It still feels petty surreal, I 

feel pretty good to have achieved 

this,” the 16-year-old said. 

“It came about because earlier 

in the year there was a young 

drummer of the year competition, 

and so it was only suitable 

to have a Young Piper of the Year 

competition as well.” 

Along with the title, Campbell 

took away $1000 in prize money. 

Inspired by his dad Greg’s talent 

for the instrument, Campbell 

started learning to play the bagpipes 

about six years ago. 

“My dad plays, and he’s my 

teacher as well. He’s a world-class 

piper.” 

“I’d really love to follow in my 

father’s footsteps. He competed in 

Scotland quite frequently when 

he was in his 20s. I went to Scotland 

this year and competed in 

the World Pipe Band Championships, 

where we got second place.” 

Campbell played in the St Andrew’s 

College pipe band, which 

he had been a part of for about 

three years. 

“It’s great to be part of an 

SCHOOLS 

amazing band full of young players 

who are the future of piping 

in New Zealand.” 

Campbell said he had placed in 

a few under-21 competitions in 

the past and had just been promoted 

to the top level of piping in 

his age group. 

“I was just promoted to A 

grade, the premier piping grade, 

in July, which was pretty exciting,” 

he said. 

“I’ve got a competition over 

Labour Weekend at St Andrew’s 

College, and that will be where 

I’m competing at A grade for the 

first time. I’m a little bit nervous, 

but pretty excited.” 

TALENT: Young Piper of the 

Year Campbell Wilson playing 

his bagpipes at a competition 

in Scotland. 

WINNER: Campbell Wilson won the first ever Young Piper of the Year award at a competition in 

Nelson. 

SUCCESS: Cathedral 

Grammar has won the 

National Junior Theatre 

RoboCup Championship. 

The boys, Rian, Sam, 

Cameron and Conor, who 

range from year 4 to year 8 

recently competed in the 

championships in Dunedin. 

The win was a first for 

the school’s innovative 

and successful Robotics 

Club, which encompasses 

engineering and IT skills, 

and extends across the

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Anxiety and breathing 

– are they related? 

When good breathing goes bad 

Have you experienced any of these 

breathing difficulty symptoms? 

• Disturbed sleep 

• Erratic heartbeats* 

• Feeling anxious and uptight 

• Upset gut/nausea 

• Chest pains* 

• Shattered confidence 

• Tired all the time 

• Achy muscles and joints 

• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out 

• Irritability or hypervigilance 

• Frequent yawning and sighing 

• Breathing discomfort* 

• Pins and needles 

• Feelings of ‘air hunger’ 

*Check with your doctor if you experience 

these symptoms. 

These questions are asked on 

the website www.BradCliff.com. 

BradCliff was started by North Island 

physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and 

Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in 

hyperventilation and anxiety treatment. 

Their website notes one in 10 people 

experience some form of breathing pattern 

disorder or chronic over breathing at some 

time in their lives, resulting in a range 

of disturbing or frightening symptoms 

puzzling to you and your doctor. 

You feel unwell because of overbreathing, 

and overbreathing makes you feel unwell. 

A vicious cycle is established, which is a 

major stress all by itself. This is experienced 

currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje 

van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio. 

As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast 

and in the upper chest when we are in danger 

and fight or flight is needed. We know all 

about that here, due to the earthquakes. 

Normally, once the danger is gone, our 

breathing should restore itself within a 

couple of days. We would then be using the 

diaphragm for our normal nonstressed 

breathing. We have been having a hard 

time restoring our breathing pattern 

here in Canterbury because every time 

our body tried to achieve that, the next 

aftershock came rolling in. Even though the 

aftershocks have significantly diminished, 

some people’s fight or flight mode 

breathing has become chronic, or habitual, 

Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the 

wrong muscles for breathing means these 

overworked muscles cause headaches, neck 

pain and jaw pain. 

With fast upper chest breathing, sighing 

and yawning, the resulting disturbance 

of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 

can give us the feeling we are not able to 

control our own body. One moment you 

are feeling fine, next moment your chest 

feels tight, you feel out of breath, your 

heart beats erratically and you may even 

experience dizziness and/or tingling. 

Very scary if you do not understand what 

is happening. No wonder this causes 

anxiety. Not being the boss over our own 

body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the 

faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on. 

The BradCliff physiotherapists have 

established a national network of 

practitioners that regularly train together 

and can help you overcome this problem. 

Physical Sense is part of that network. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Centuries old folk 

remedy supports 

good health! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health 

benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the 

“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been 

renowned for its curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and 

FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis 

reports how he found that Vermonters 

who regularly consumed ACV and Honey 

had excellent health with many putting in 

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even 

when well into their eighties. He also noted 

the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting 

almost total relief after taking a course 

of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider vinegar 

counteracted calcium deposits and helped 

the body control calcium use. He also noted 

that Vermonters who consumed ACV and 

H around meal time had excellent blood 

pressure and circulation. The reason he 

found was that protein foods thickened the 

blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood 

thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly 

through the blood vessels and capillaries. 

This poor blood flow would reduce cellular 

health by limiting nutrients to the cells as 

well as waste elimination from the cells. 

To prevent cell damage the body naturally 

increases blood pressure but this puts 

more stress on the blood vessels, organs 

and heart. Having ACV and H with meals 

will help prevent protein raising the blood 

pressure. It also contributes to a feeling 

of greater well-being because the thinner 

blood circulates quickly and more easily 

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found 

regular consumption of CV and H to be 

an excellent health tonic with numerous 

health attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all 

the goodness of the apple in a form that is 

readily accepted by the body. Good health 

starts with good digestion and assimilation 

of nutrients. ACV taken before food will 

stimulate and promote healthy digestion 

and assimilation of vital nutrients for good 

health. A well-functioning digestive system 

helps prevent disease by neutralising any 

toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is 

produced in the traditional way and results 

are likely to prove disappointing with these 

other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV 

with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in 

Canterbury from Organic whole apples in 

the traditional way. It is double strength so 

you can use less.

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable 

Skin Rejuvenator 

Until Rachel 

Hunter’s popular 

TV series “TOUR OF 

BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was 

relatively unknown being 

one of the best-kept secrets of 

the Pacific Islands. It may however 

be the number one natural beauty oil 

available as it possesses powerful natural 

skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing 

properties. 

According to ethnobotanist Chris 

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low) 

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as 

it is one of the most effective agents 

in promoting the regeneration and 

formation of new tissue, thereby 

accelerating wound healing and the 

growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil is 

super-absorbing and nourishing 

and can penetrate all three layers 

of the skin, offering exceptional 

cell hydration and regeneration. 

As well as this, Dilo Oil has potent 

anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, 

antifungal and antioxidant properties. 

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the 

skin young and youthful and for just about 

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions 

for which it is considered helpful include 

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and acne 

scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch marks, 

wrinkles, blisters, burns (including chemical 

and radiation), diabetic sores, rashes, shaving 

irritation, dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis, 

NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL 

As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty 

Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable 

skin anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred 

Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil 

as it can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration 

& regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin 

cells & this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help 

reduce lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses 

anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties. 

Dilo Oil Supports 

• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines, blemishes, scars & 

stretch marks 

• Skin hydration 

• Skin repair & growth, helps feed the skin & stimulate healthy new cells 

• Wound healing & skin protection from bacteria, viruses & fungus 

• Most skin problems, rosacea, pimples, ulcers & sores, acne, psoriasis, 

eczema, dermatitis, rashes, blisters, skin eruptions, warts, insect bites & 

stings, athlete’s foot, burns, nappy rash etc. 

• Joint & muscular pain

contains a unique blend of fatty 

acids that stimulate and supports

New premises

NEW 

LOCATION 

95 

gasson st 

Long-established car light specialists, 

Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their 

lights from a sparkling new address – just 

around the corner from their familiar 

Brougham Street site. 

Just prior to Christmas, the business 

moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95 

Gasson St, where they offer a brighter 

showroom, easier access for their customers 

and plenty of off-street parking. 

“We’re all set up in our new premises,” 

sales manager Richard Vernimmen says, 

“and continuing to provide our customers 

with an extensive range of replacement 

lights for most Japanese, European and 

New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover 

most vehicles on the road, and all our lights 

are fully checked and in perfect working 

order.” 

If they don’t have it in stock, they can 

source it from one of the other branches in 

the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE 

is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of 

car, truck and commercial parts. 

Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair 

service for headlights, with their skilled 

staff of three having 80 years’ experience 

in the automotive trade between them. 

They also specialise in light adjuster and 

light conversion of American 

car lights and their repair 

service includes plastic 

welding, drying out, and 

re-silvering, re-sealing 

and lens refurbishment. 

Their services can also 

be arranged through 

your own local garage or 

workshop. 

So, next time you need 

replacement car lights, call 

into Braxton Car Lights’ bright new 

showroom, 95 Gasson St, phone 0800 225
