SING SONG: Diana Isaac Retirement Village resident Jean Rutherford plays the piano as other residents sing a song to the

tune of The Wheels On The Bus.

Bus concerns voiced

• By Ashleigh Monk

“THE STAFF and residents use

the bus/and if it goes, they’re

bound to cuss/what a loss for all

of us/if the bus should go.”

Recited to the tune of The

Wheels on the Bus, these lyrics

were sung by residents of Diana

Isaac Retirement Village to

Environment Canterbury.

The residents have been

fighting since March to have the

No 44 bus stop at their village

after Environment Canterbury

decided to re-route the Orbiter

which previously ran there.

ECan said last month it would

not re-route the No 44 through

some residential streets, leaving

the nearest bus stop 1km away.

Representatives met with the

residents on Wednesday to hear

their concerns over the decision.

ECan senior manager public

transport Stewart Gibbon said

was “very pleased” with the

entertaining song.

Road

report to

address

safety

concerns


A PAPANUI roading and traffic

report, one year in the making,

will look at “safety concerns” on

Sisson Drive.

Sisson Drive was originally

designed to be a cut-through street

for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians

in the area, but the report

showed it was being used as a

main road.

The report suggests the speed

limit should be reduced from

40km/h to 30km/h, and several

road marking changes be implemented

to mitigate risk.

It will also detail traffic movements

on Main North Rd, Harewood

Rd, Sawyers Arms Rd and

Sisson Drive.

The report included proposals to

install a pedestrian refuge on Sawyers

Arms Rd, make alterations to

some intersections and introduce

more road markings in the area.

The Papanui-Innes Community

Board requested the report in

December last year.

Community board chairwoman

Ali Jones said that while the report

seemed to have taken a long time

to be completed, this was not the

case.

from the editor’s desk

AT LAST some action looms on Sisson

Drive in Papanui.

We reveal on page 1 today a possible

reduction in speed will be in a report out

before Christmas.

Sisson Drive was designed to be a minor thoroughfare

connecting major roads between Northlands. But today it is a

busy road, doubling as an arterial.

This has been caused by the congestion on surrounding roads.

So it will be a no-brainer for the Papaniu-Innes Community

Board to endorse the changes city council staff have come up

with, the key one being a 30km/h speed limit.

Then all it needs is for the city council to give it the green

light.

Time line: Your guess is as goods as mine.

Fire rages, homes at risk


PAPANUI BUSINESS owners

now have a place to go to share

their experiences.

The newly-formed Papanui

Business Community last month

had its first meeting.

The group’s co-ordinator,

Papanui Ray White owner

Vanessa

Golightly said

she set the

group up in the

better connect

businesses in

the area.

Golightly

“I just

thought there

are a lot of neat

people in this community, and

I didn’t even know who half of

them were,” she said.

“We had the first meeting last

month and it was really good,

we had I think about 20 people

show up.”

She said she had set up a

private Facebook group to

make sure members were in

the loop.

“It’s about getting to know

each other and hopefully getting

people supporting using local a

bit more . . . and it’s nice to walk

down the road or go to the coffee

shop and say ‘gidday’ to people.”

The group would be separate

from the more formal Papanui

Village Business Association,

which was formed after the

earthquakes. The group only had

two members left and no longer

held formal meetings.

Ms Golightly said the Papanui

Business Community would forgo

recording meetings, as the Papanui

Village Business Association had

previously done.

“I think after a while people

sort of lost interest. I talked to

she said.

McMaster & Heap

Veterinary practice

WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AND

WHERE WE ARE HEADING…….

McMaster & Heap Vets officially started

nearly 20 years ago on 1st April 1999 (April

Fools Day). Steve and I had wanted our

own Practice because we wanted to work

together to create something special and

because we wanted to be present at all our

sons sports fixtures and school events and

not miss out on a single thing they were

doing. I grew up with parents that showed

up to everything which I loved so I wanted

our boys to experience that childhood.

We had a choice of three Practices to buy,

and looking back definitely made the right

choice. Little did we know it was the start of

something really great.

The initial Practice was

an old converted house

situated in our present

day carpark. It was then

named Rozens Vet Clinic.

It was small but worked

okay initially until we grew

and we were constantly

running out of cages to

house all our patients. Cats

were in cages in the vets

office and dogs tied up in

the treatment room. Our

very first day Steve and I

worked 12 hours straight.

Our first clients were

people we still see now

almost 20 years later,

with their children and

grandchildren now clients

of ours. We had just three nurses initially who

worked part time hours. We operated on a

card system and were forever losing cards

thanks to a dyslexic nurse who didn’t know

she was dyslexic. Every time it rained our

entire carpark flooded and we had families of

ducks taking up residence. Our cattery was

in the garage. Our sterile surgery was the

size of a bathroom and we processed xrays

in the toilet. There was no noise control or

ventilation – pet hates of Steve’s. Our two

young sons, Connor (now 21) and Dylan

(now 18) were often seen playing Thomas

the Tank engine trains in the waiting room

entertaining the clients. We were a family

and we absolutely loved it. Our boys only

have fond memories of our Practice and our

early days starting out.

We worked hard, every weekend in fact, and

fairly quickly built up a strong loyal following

of clients. Steve seeing Ophthalmology

referrals also increased clients through our

doors. We saw our clients out of hours, in

weekends and clients without appointments

could just walk in without much of a wait. We

loved solving peoples problems and treating

their pets and we felt privileged to be in the

position we were – we made a real difference

and we got huge satisfaction from doing so.

We both knew this was what we were meant

to be doing. I remember being a three year

old and only ever wanting to Practice as a

vet. I grew up on a small farm in Halswell

surrounded by all sorts of animals and I

ended up with my own flock of pet lambs.

My dads best friend was Dave Marshall

(Marshall and Pringle Vets) and he was very

influential at fostering my love and passion

for animals from a very early age. From age

five I saw Practice with Dave and never once

thought about being anything else.

We realised our clinic was outgrowing us

fast so as soon as the house next door

came up for sale we

purchased it. We moved

into our current building

in 2008 and its been a

wonderful practice to

work in – spacious, light,

well ventilated and well

designed. It has allowed

us to treat and care for

patients properly, see a

lot more patients and

attract quality staff. We

have grown a lot since

those early days with

seven vets, 13 nursing

staff and one practice

manager.

So this comes to an

exciting piece of news.

We have just been

granted council consent

to add a large new addition to our existing

Practice, allowing us to provide more

veterinary services and have more room to

work in. Believe it or not we are running out

of consult rooms, operating theatres and

dog hospitalisation facilities. The proposed

building is being tendered now and should

start work early next year.

We feel we have a very good reputation for

providing excellent professional services

and care to patients in our community. We

are never complacent and always strive

to be better and do things differently. We

always want to welcome people through our

doors because we truly believe we will help

them and their pets. We care about all our

people. We will always be a privately owned

family business providing the best care and

treatment possible, excellent communication,

flexibility and understanding of our clients

situation and show kindness and respect to

pets and people.

We firmly believe if you GIVE lots you receive

LOTS.

We will keep you posted on all the new

exciting developments.

Putting life back into stream

• By Anan Zaki

A GROUP of residents are a

step closer to bringing the Ilam

Stream back to life.

The Network of the Ilam

Stream, made up of residents

wanting to revive the stream, are

lobbying to improve its water

flow.

The stream runs above ground

in the city at Avonhead Park

and goes through suburban

Avonhead and Ilam before

joining the Avon River in Ilam

gardens.

The stream is sourced from

springs and the Waimakariri

river water race system but it is

often dry for most of the year,

residents say.

Two years ago, the water

flow has stopped on Colina St,

Avonhead due to a leak.

Network of the Ilam Stream

treasurer Bill Carroll says fixing

the leak is another step towards

achieving the residents “dream”

– to have a constant water flow

through the Ilam Stream.

Last week, the city council fixed

the leak but have no plans to work

on a permanent water flow.

“We’ve been lobbying to get

the leak fixed because the water

doesn’t get to the end of the

stream in the Ilam Gardens,” Mr

Carroll said.

The revolution

in heat pumps

is here now!

proposes the city council uses

one of its bores in Avonhead Park

to draw water for the stream.

The current springs and water

race system is not enough to

have a continuous flow, Mr Carroll

said.

He said if the residents’ wishes

for the Ilam Stream come true, it

would be more valued by locals.

“[We hope] there will be public

places where people can walk

along it and enjoy it,” Mr Carroll

said.

FOR 30 years the Waimairi Toy

Library has been a mainstay for

everything from board games to

bicycles.

The library, based in Burnside,

marked the milestone with a family

fun day last week.

Library co-chairwoman Vicki

Lynch said making sure all children

had access to good quality

toys was essential.

“Having the toy library means

every child has access to quality

toys, regardless of whether their

parents can afford to buy toys,

and regardless of their background,”

she said.

She said hiring toys rather than

buying them was a great way to

preserve the environment.

“The good thing about hiring

toys is that it’s better for the

environment because you’re

not buying junky stuff and then

throwing it out. It’s saving a lot of

toys from landfill.”

Toy library celebrates

Toy librarian Annabel Sim said

it was a “fantastic asset” to the

community.

“We say it’s like Christmas

every two weeks. Quite a lot of

parents actually come to the library

without their kids to get out

toys, then they’ll go home and the

next day the kids wake up and go:

‘Oh my gosh, look at these new

toys’.”

Ms Sim said the most popular

toys were often not what people

thought.

“Last year our most popular

toy, believe it or not, was a recycling

truck. It was only in the

library about two or three weeks

of the year,” she said.

She said her favourite part of

working at the toy library was

getting to “test” the new toys that

came in.

“I love being able to play

with all the toys before anyone

else gets them. All the toys get

delivered to my place, so my kids

get to be toy testers.”

Butcher up for ‘Olympic’ challenge

A BURNSIDE man has once

again been selected to represent

New Zealand in an event known

as the Olympics of Butchery.

Jeremy Garth, who is the

butchery manager at New World

Ferry Road, was this week named

among the seven butchers who

will make up the New Zealand

team at the 2020 World Butchers’

Challenge.

It’s the second time he has made

the cut for the team known as

the ‘Sharp Blacks’, having taken

part in this year’s WBC in Belfast,

Northern Ireland, where the

Sharp Blacks placed second.

“I’m still celebrating being

selected again,” Mr Garth says.

“Apart from the captain [Corey

Winder, also of Christchurch] I’m

the only one who got back in.”

He and the other six Sharp

Blacks will now start preparing

for the next WBC, to be held

in Sacramento, California, in

September 2020.

“Over the next two years

we’ll meet regularly for training

weekends, then return to each

of our home butcheries to apply

those techniques to what we do

for our customers.”

Mr Garth has been assigned

a new team role too, switching

from breaking down the raw

carcasses to turning them into

retail cuts.

For shoppers of New World

Ferry Road that will mean soon

being able to buy cuts of meat that

are indisputably ‘world class’.

“Being able to talk to customers

about the wide range of cuts they

can get is one of the best parts of

my job. Now I’m essentially going

to be in training for 2020 every

day, our shoppers can expect to

see some good stuff.”

Steve Anderson, chief executive

of Foodstuffs South Island, says

having a butcher of Mr Garth’s

calibre on the Foodstuffs team

shows the supermarket operator is

“getting the right people.”

“Because our stores are

locally-owned and operated

their butchery teams are more

responsive to local shoppers’

tastes, and also more attractive

to the best local talent – proof of

which can be seen here,” says Mr

Anderson.

Indeed, Garth’s rise to the

top of the butchery world is an

inspiration to young schoolleavers.

“My first job was as a

cleaner in a butcher shop. Now

I’m managing a very large city

butchery serving hundreds of

shoppers a day, and representing

my country at what I do best. If

I could tell my 16-year-old self

one thing it would be to find

something you like and can get

better at every day, and stick at it.”

CELEBRATING: Jeremy Garth will be heading to

California for the World Butchers’ Challenge.

Another First, 3D

Digital Dentures

News

from Duchenne

Not ones to follow the pack, Duchenne

Denture Specialists have always been a

company of firsts:

- First to bring to you Duchenne’s Digital

3D Denture system

- First to introduce suction dentures to New

Zealand

- The only state-of-the-art laboratory of its

kind in New Zealand

- First to bring the injection moulding

technique to NZ. A process that gives

greater strength and a superior fit to their

denture products.

John Batchelor, founder and owner of

Duchenne, has long been at the forefront

of this industry, and has been working with

international software companies such as

3Shape to develop cutting-edge technology

since 2012.

Now, once again, Duchenne are excited

to be bringing the latest advances in 3D

Denture Technology to the South Island.

Over the past three years there have been

major breakthroughs in printing and

milling dental technology, which allow

us to 3D print a preliminary denture that

patients can literally take home and try.

Patients are more involved in the process

and can see their dentures on screen

before they are made. This technology also

produces a final denture that is superior to

anything that has come before.

They are currently the only company in

the South Island to use this process – a

significant step ahead as it offers superior

fit and strength. A denture produced on

the PM7, when used in conjunction with

Dr Abe’s Suction Effective Mandibular

technique, produces the most comfortable

and high performance denture currently

available.

John Batchelor is one of only 35 trainers

world-wide in this technique, and the only

one in New Zealand. He and his team at

Duchenne Denture Services are proud to be

able to offer you this leading technology.

consultation please call 0800 866 8448, or

“It was very well executed,

the residents had a sense

of humour, balanced with

their real sense of concern

and advocacy to

retain a public

transport link.”

He said ECan

would continue

to work with

residents to find

a solution for the

“mid and longterm.”

Resident Murray

Lennox said he wrote the

“little ditty” in an effort to

keep the meeting light and

friendly.

“I’ve written a number

of poems. It’s become a

traditional thing here on

Stewart Gibbon

a Friday that if I turn up

to morning tea without a

poem then they’re asking

questions,” he said.

“It was just to keep the

mood light and bring a bit

of hilarity to it.”

He said the

decision not to reroute

the No 44 left

residents and staff

at the rest home

“stranded.”

“A lot of us are still

mobile, but the day

will come for a lot of

folks here where we

will no longer be able to get

about as we used to.”

He said the residents

had come up with options

which were presented to

ECan, including installing

a turning bay on Philpotts

implementing a small bus

which could operate on an

“ad hock basis” to service

“They’re still exploring

those options, they have

to discuss that with city

council and planning.

We just have to get

through all this red tape,”

he said.

“One of our residents

who is in his 90s asked if

while they were trying to

work those things out, why

couldn’t they just bring the

Orbiter down to Innes Rd

and back up along Philpotts

out what else they can do . . .

there was hearty approval

from the residents, I can

tell you.”

“It was first requested

about 11 months ago, but

because of the cycleway

and other work that’s being

done, we essentially knew

that it had to be

put on hold . . . it

hasn’t been held up

or slowed down or

anything like that,”

she said.

She said she could

not comment further

on the contents

of the report until it had

been presented to the board.

“There’s nothing that I

can, will, or wants to say

about the report before it

come back before the board,

John Stringer

because that just would be

totally inappropriate given

the process we’re in.”

Community board member

John Stringer said there

had been some “disquiet”

amongst Papanui

residents due to

the amount of

change happening

in the area.

“I am conscious

of defending the

residential nature

and needs of

Papanui as one of the oldest

residential suburbs of Christchurch

with a large retired

demographic,” he said.

“I do welcome the report

– which we commissioned

as a board last year – as

it studies directly local

impacts that perhaps a

wider city council may not

discern, which is why we

have local boards.”

He said in spite of how

long it had taken to complete

the report, he looked

forward to seeing it.

“I’m critical about how

long it’s taken to get to us,

but that said, it will enable

the local board to address

local transport pressures

and I look forward to

engaging in any issues

the report raises once

it’s tabled publicly, and

hearing what local people

have to say.”

Bid to conserve water over summer

THE CITY council has warned

too much water use this summer

could slow down its well-head

upgrade work and lead to water

shortages and a reduced capacity

to fight fires.

As the temperature climbs,

the city council is encouraging

residents to start doing their

bit to conserve water and help

reduce demand on the district’s

water supply network.

Water Supply Improvement

Programme manager Helen

Beaumont said the issue wasn’t

the amount of water available or

the size of the supply network,

but rather the network’s ability to

deliver water when usage spiked.

“When demand for water

is high, we can only supply so

much through the network. The

pumps, pipes and reservoirs can

only deliver a certain amount

of water at any one time, and if

people use too much while we

have wells off-line for upgrades,

there could be a pressure loss

in the system, shortages, or not

enough to fight fires.

“Ninety-five per cent of the

time, we only need to use about

half of the wells and pump

stations available in the network.

It’s only a problem at times

during summer, when demand

for water is at its highest.”

SAVE: The city council is encouraging hand-held watering only for lawns and gardens on

alternate days between 9pm and 7am in a bid to save water. (Right) – The new water dial found

at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse shows Christchurch’s residential water use for the previous day.

Ms Beaumont said the district’s

water use was already higher

than this time last year so it

was important people got the

message now.

“We need people to come on

board with the campaign to

conserve our water. We don’t

want to impose restrictions, we

want to give people a chance to

change their thinking and make

some small changes now to their

water usage.

As part of its conservation

campaign, the city council has

created an online water dial –

available at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse

– which shows the city’s daily

water usage against the target for

summer.

The city council is encouraging

hand-held watering only for

lawns and gardens on alternate

days between 9pm and 7am,

reducing laundry loads, and

keeping personal showers to

5min.

Ms Beaumont said water usage

this summer would have a big

impact on the city council’s

ability to upgrade its well-heads

and end chlorination sooner.

“We can only work on well

heads when they’re not in use. So

the less water used this summer,

the faster we can upgrade the

well heads and the sooner we

can end water chlorination in

Christchurch.”

BE INSPIRED

NOR’WEST NEWS

Interested in becoming

a trained interpreter?

Are you a proficient bi-lingual speaker?

Are you the person your family and friends

always call on to “interpret” for them?

Have you ever been formally trained to be

an interpreter?

Rosibel, Interpreter

at Interpreting NZ

A Mexican

psychologist,

Rosibel, says “I

arrived in NZ

almost 10 years ago

with a heart full of

love and an open

mind. Married to

a Kiwi and soon to

become a mother,

my career was put

on hold. When my

little boy started

kindergarten, I got

the opportunity to

train as an interpreter. It has been one of

the best things I have ever done! Not only

helped me to recover from the inevitable

nappy brain (memory and mental agility

were finally back), but also gave me the

chance to contribute with my skills to

people in this country.

As an interpreter I’ve been in courts,

inside the police offices and even on top

of a boat! There is never a dull moment.

I’ve also done some difficult emotional

jobs as I had to translate to a Latin family

that their relative (who was very ill in the

hospital) was about to die.

What I like the most about being an

interpreter is the fact I can help people

to connect and understand each other.

Something we really need in this world we

live in nowadays, something I know, as a

psychologist, is an essential human need.”

At Interpreting NZ we believe that in

order to be an interpreter, it is vital to have

excellent language skills as the message

must be passed on fully and accurately.

There are at least two other necessary

attributes: the first is the ability to remain

completely impartial, something that

is often difficult to manage when you

are interpreting for people you know

well. The second is making sure to keep

everything absolutely confidential. Good

training provides you with the tools to deal

competently with all these aspects of the

interpreter’s role.

At Interpreting NZ we train, employ

and provide professional community

interpreters. If you are a proficient

speaker of English and another language

and interested in training as an interpreter,

our next course starts on Friday the 1st of

February 2019.

“A local team for local people”

NATIVE: Natives were planted by Burnside Primary and Cobham Intermediate

pupils in an effort to provide shade for eels in the Wairarapa Stream.

Burnside, Cobham pupils

team up to protect eels

SCHOOLS

TWO SCHOOLS have

joined forces to care for

a shared local treasure –

giant longfin eels in the

Wairarapa Stream.

Pupils from Burnside

Primary School and Cobham

Intermediate came

together last week to plant

native plants along the

stream as part of the Te

Tuna Tāone – Urban Eel

project.

The project, run by the

Working Waters Trust in

collaboration with Enviroschools

Canterbury, aims

to teach the pupils about

aquatic life and recognise

the impacts that humans

have on it.

Part of Te Tuna Tāone involves

pupils planning and

participating in their own

activities.

Burnside Primary pupils

chose to plant along the

waterway to provide eel

habitat and shade, and

invited their neighbouring

pupils at Cobham Intermediate

to also get involved.

Burnside teacher Bianca

Woyak said the planting

was particularly poignant

as it was a sign of the future,

with the two schools

slated to share a campus

when rebuilding occurs.

“Burnside Primary

School loved working

with Cobham Intermediate,

Working Waters and

Enviroschools Canterbury.

The pupils enjoyed working

together for such an excellent

cause. The Burnside

Primary School year 5 and

6 students will be able to

watch the trees grow, and

help monitor the Wairarapa

Stream’s health.”

Cobham student Jessica

French was one of the

participants on the day and

said she enjoyed making a

difference to the environment.

“Room 11 has had a lot

of fun planting these trees

and knowing that we are

doing our part for the environment

is a huge plus.”

Jessica was also proud

of the long-term effect this

project would have.

“By planting these trees,

we are creating a future

education resource to

explain river health to the

next generation, and to a

broader degree, helping the

environment and doing our

bit to stop global warming.”

Cobham teacher Brenton

Jackson was enthusiastic

about being involved in the

project.

“Going forward, Cobham

would love to be part of Te

Tuna Tāone – Urban Eel

next year. I feel that educating

young New Zealanders

about protecting longfin

eels is essential to prevent

this at-risk species from

becoming extinct in the

long term”.

Solid performance earns apprentice award

ST ALBANS man Peter Ravn has

been named New Zealand’s top

carpentry apprentice.

Mr Ravn, 26, took out the title

of Registered Master Builders

Carters 2018 apprentice of the

year at the annual national competition.

He went head-to-head with

nine other national finalists, in

a tough six-hour practical challenge.

They were tasked with building

a complex

garden station

that put their

skills to the

test.

Mr Ravn

(left) is

employed by

Armitage Williams

Construction Ltd and was

trained through the BCITO.

The competition judges

said Peter was an outstanding

all-rounder, and gave a solid

performance throughout the

competition.

“To be successful in this industry,

you must be an all-rounder.

Peter demonstrated high competency

across all aspects of the

competition,” they said.

“Peter had a good submission,

was a great communicator in his

interview, and displayed high

quality skills in the practical

challenge.

“He shows maturity and passion

for his craft, with a clear

vision to be an industry leader.

His professionality is admirable.

A worthy winner of the 2018 Apprentice

of the Year.”

The two-day national competition

saw each of the 10 finalists

undergo a 45min individual

interview with the judging panel.

This was followed by the challenging

practical component,

the garden station build. All 10

garden stations will be donated to

local schools and are designed to

help children learn about growing

food.

The challenge took place in

front of an audience of family,

friends and the general public at

the ASB Showgrounds.

Registered Master Builders

chief executive David Kelly says

it was great to see the young

apprentices demonstrate such a

high level of skill so early in their

careers.

to be involved in helping support

the careers of such a talented

group of apprentices.

“Apprentice of the year reflects

Carters’ dedication to supporting

New Zealand’s apprentices

through investing in training

and mentoring. Attracting young

talent to our industry is essential

to the success of New Zealand’s

he said.

“We congratulate Peter and

and passion for the

industry and we look forward to

seeing them make their mark on

the industry.”

COnTRiBuTiOn TO SPORT:

feRGuS viCkeRS - ROWinG

Nominated by Mr White, Teacher in Charge of Rowing, and

backed up by Sarah Lindley (Head Coach), Fergus made the

step from being a rower himself the previous two seasons, to

helping coach our young, large squad of rowers this year.

Fergus supported the Head Coach throughout the year

and was sole charge of a number of morning trainings. He

volunteered and attended all the regattas that Burnside High

entered into in the 2017/2018 season, and was always willing

to help load and unload boats after training and regattas

and support the students getting ready for their races. With

Fergus’ help, many of the crews achieved top placings at their

different regattas over the season, culminating in making three

‘A’ finals at Maadi Cup in Twizel.

Over the winter months this year, Fergus has worked towards

achieving his Rowing New Zealand

Level 1 Coaching certificate. On top

of this he is also accredited with his

Maritime NZ Boat Safety certificate.

Fergus is an enormous asset to

the Burnside High School rowing

programme, with his commitment and

great work ethic, and he will be one to

watch as he develops his coaching in

years to come. Fergus was a finalist in

the category of Boys – Contribution to

Sports Administration – at the Zonta

Sports Awards evening in October.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

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.

Collagen

The Body’s Youth Protein

Collagen is the primary

protein in the body. It is a

major component of skin,

hair, nails, muscles, tendons,

ligaments, joint cartilage,

bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and

blood vessels.

In fact collagen is

the primary structural

component for all tissue in the

body, providing the strength

and resilience associated with

youth, beauty and wellness.

The body’s natural collagen

production decreases with age resulting in

many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin,

wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and

aching joints. Collagen supplementation

is one of the most fundamental things a

person can do to prevent premature aging

and promote youthful vitality.

NEOCELL are the industry leaders in

research on collagen supplementation.

Through advanced research they have

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and

effectively reduce its molecular weight this

improving the absorption of collagen into

the blood stream by over 90%.

A clinical study on NEOCELL

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,

with 92% of test subjects experiencing

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing

visible improvements within two weeks.

Collagen supplementation provides the

nutrients necessary to support the body’s

collagen supply. It can help reduce fine lines

and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity,

support building of strong bones and teeth,

strengthen the nails and hair, and is vital for

muscle growth, It also assists weight loss by

helping burn fat for energy, promotes wound

healing by supporting the regeneration of

healthy tissue as well as help support overall

health.

NEOCELL COLLAGEN and further

information is available from the Natural

Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health &

Natural Therapy, 101Seaview Road, New

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always

happy to help!

peace and privacy on the lower slopes, this

interesting 1960’s home designed by Maurice

Hunt presents buyers with a rare opportunity

to reside in a superbly crafted abode which

has been proudly cherished by one owner

since the bought the section in one of the first

subdivisions.

The classically designed interior currently

exhibits soothing natural tones and elements

of timeless style, and an area where this is

showcased is upon entry where your eye will

be drawn to the curved timber ceiling.

There’s a blend of casual and formal living

areas which are incredibly inviting and again

built-in custom furniture, with the cornered

window seat luring you over to put your feet

up and relax on lazy afternoons. The formal

lounge has a gas fire and pelmet lights for

ambience with spotlights for art work. French

doors open out onto the patio.

Occupying the upper level is a media

room which was thoughtfully added to

the property around 25 years ago, and this

represents yet another living area with a

built-in desk and cabinetry where you can

truly remove yourself and unwind to the

panoramic view which encompasses Mt Hutt

and the Kaikoura Ranges as well as the city

and the estuary.

There’s a selection of alfresco areas that

wrap around the property and comprise a

stunning ornamental grape vine covering

the pergola, a verandah, a neatly landscaped

garden, a sheltered bricked patio and areas

of decking. The upstairs hardwood roof deck

provides you with an abundance of incredibly

private backdrops where you can soak up the

sun from sunrise to sunset and the serene

surrounds.

Accommodation is offered by four

bedrooms which share three bathrooms, and

heat pump and partial double glazing.

Located on a prime corner section with

just one neighbouring property, the property

coastline which will direct you to the sandy

shores of Sumner Beach. Also handy to the

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand

has b en a proached in a bid to

fina ly repair the potholes in New

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.

Coastal-Burw od Ward city

counci lor David East wants

WorkSafe to pre sure the car

park’s private owners into

repairing the potholes which are

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.

WorkSafe chief inspector

a se sment southern Da ren

Handforth said it may be able to

take action under the Health and

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a

person conducting a busine s or

undertaking.”

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe

is aware of the concerns raised by

Cr East abou the car park.

“WorkSafe has completed

an a se sment visi to the site

and is engaging with the owner

to advise them that it is their

responsibility to manage their

risks a propriately.”

Different parts of the car park

are owned by various people

and the Coastal-Burw od

Community Board recently

wrote to them about its concerns

around health and safety.

Cr East said the bi gest i sue

in the past has b en ge ting in

touch with the landlords and

owners and ge ting them to

agr e to anything. “The board

a preciates that multi-ownership

of the parking space may present

a difficulty in co-ordinating

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged

to pa s these concerns onto you,”

said the le ter.

One reply has b en received so

far from an owner who is wi ling

to discu s the i sue. However, a l

the owners would have to agr e

to undertake work.

Cr East said there had b en

a “number of incidences” in

the car park of people injuring

themselves which had gone

unreported.

“I’ve always though that it

has b en quite amazing that we

haven’t had any serious a cidents

or senior citizens perhaps

tri ping in those potholes and

doing themselve some damage.”

He is confiden the new

a proach wi l bring results.

“I think the WorkSafe

involvement may prove to be the

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes

Community Board has taken the

rare step of starting a petition

to figh the city council over

funding.

Signatures are being co lected

in a bid to get funding for a community

facility in Shirley.

It comes after the city council

removed funding for the centre

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This

was the site of the former community

centre, which was badly

damaged in the February 2,

20 1, earthquake.

The removal o funding

prompted community board

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten

to stan down, citing it as her “die

in the ditch” project.

Ms Jone said the board’s role

is to represen the community,

and by gathering signatures from

residents, it was fulfi ling that

role.

“One of the roles of a community

board is to represent and act

as advocate for the interests of its

community and this is what we

are doing. The LTP and a nual

plans are a l about lo bying the

council.”

Cave Rock

sign-off

this week

• By Sarla Donovan

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave

Rock Apartments ar expecting the

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.

Body corporate chairman Mike

White said the group had gone

into mediation with IAG and EQC

on February 20, and signed off

on a deal with IAG on February

2 – coincidenta ly seven years

to the day after the February 2,

20 1, earthquake. However, they

are waiting for EQC to sign the

agr ement.

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted

the agr ement, there’ l be no

problem with them doing that.”

The apartment suffere damage

in the February and June, 20 1,

earthquakes and were demolished in

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the

difference betw en indemnity value,

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body

corporate.

The mediation agr ement

prevented Mr White from disclosing

the se tlement amount, but he said it

involved the two parties paying “a bit

more money than they’d wanted to

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved

to be a cut above the rest in an

international competition.

New World Fe ry Rd butcher

Jeremy Garth and his team, the

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently

came second a the World

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern

Ireland.

It was the firs time Mr Garth

had competed in the cha lenge

and he was “rea ly proud” of

how the team performed.

“We produced some top quality

products and came away

with a g od result so we’re very

ha py,” he said.

The preparation for this year’s

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was

intense as the team members

met in Auckland every two

months for lengthy w ekend

practices.

Mr Garth, who has b en a

butcher for 14 years, said the

competition brought back his

pa sion for the job.

“Doing a l thi stuff and

m eting new people, s eing new

ideas, it just brings that flair

back for you,” he said.

Mr Garth hopes t own a

butcher shop of his own someday

but says for now he wi l focus

on ge ting mor experience

and on the 2020 cha lenge.

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

going back to try and win the

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

traders acro s the districts could

be l oming.

However, the public has li tle

interest in having input into the

i sue.

Only eight submi sions were

received for a potential bylaw

aimed at regulating commercial

activities in public places.

The district council will be

holding a hearing for the Public

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial

Activities and Events in

Public Places.

A hearing i scheduled to be

held on Thursday.

The bylaw comes as an increasing

number of mobile traders

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,

especia ly during the summer

months.

In the past year, the district

council has received five inquiries

about se ting up a mobile busine s

on private or public land.

A report said there are two

their horses Tommy and Kruze

The presentation is a prelude

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve

As a tribute to those who

served, members of the trust wi l

ride horseback to the service.

Mr A pleton said it was

important children were

educated on what soldiers

wen through during World

War 1 and World War 2.

But he said the presentation

didn’t go into t o much detail

and was more of a “show and

AN U PER Ri carton butcher

has proven himself to be a cut

above his Au sie rivals at an

international competition.

Elite Meats owner Corey

Winder was named in the a l

star team a the World Butchers’

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.

Mr Winder and his team, the

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which

includes W olston butcher

Jeremy Garth, finished second

in the competition.

He said the cha lenge started

as a “transtasman test match”

seven years ago.

The preparation for this

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge

was intense as the team

members met in Auckland

every two months for lengthy

w ekend practices. Mr Winder

said coming second against 1

other countries was a “fantastic”

result.

“To get second behind Ireland

was a huge achievement and to

be ahead of Australia is an

even bi ger thing for us,” he

said.

But Mr Winder admires the

Australian team.

“Those guys over there

[Australia] are on top of their

game, they do a g od job,” he

said.

“And it just showcases that

New Zealand has got some

of the best butchers in the

world,” he said.

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora

told Western News the submi sion

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s

“You can just about guarant e

it . because we [the community

areas,” he said.

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if

the city council would endorse the

board’ submi sion.

“I’d like to think so because the

city council has had their eyes

open as we l ove recent years over

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.

Mr Mora said the community

board wi l be “representing and
