Jake’s new challenge<br />
Coast to<br />
Coast<br />
looms for<br />
cancer<br />
survivor<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AS A CHILD Jake Bailey was not<br />
the sporting type.<br />
But at 21-years-old, he is taking<br />
on the Coast to Coast next<br />
month.<br />
The cancer survivor made<br />
international headlines in 2015<br />
with his gripping speech about<br />
his shock diagnosis as head boy<br />
of Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School.<br />
Mr Bailey was told he had two<br />
weeks to live after finding out<br />
he had Burkitt’s Non-Hodgkins<br />
Lymphoma, the fastest growing<br />
cancer known to man.<br />
During the Coast to Coast he<br />
will tackle the 160km cycle part<br />
of the event over two days, in a<br />
team with two old school friends,<br />
who will take on the kayak and<br />
run legs.<br />
Since beating his cancer and<br />
announcing he was in remission<br />
INSPIRATIONAL: Jake Bailey will be competing in the Coast to Coast after beating cancer.<br />

in <strong>January</strong> 2016, Mr Bailey has<br />
been working full-time as a<br />
public speaker. He has shared<br />
his story and what it taught him<br />
across almost 50 cities around<br />
the world.<br />
Now living on the Gold Coast,<br />
Mr Bailey is also the author<br />
What Cancer Taught Me and<br />
features in the documentary The<br />
Common Touch, which is about<br />
his cancer journey.<br />
He will return to Christchurch<br />
next month to compete in<br />
the event he calls “iconic” to<br />
Canterbury.<br />
As a young boy, Mr Bailey<br />
would go with his father to watch<br />
the end of the Coast to Coast.<br />
But he said he “never dreamed<br />
of taking part.”<br />
Mr Bailey’s close call with<br />
death has serve as his motivation<br />
for getting into endurance sport.<br />
“In both a practical sense,<br />
because it minimises my risk of<br />
relapse and makes sure my body<br />
is fit and in an emotional, mental<br />
and personal sense.”<br />
He said he’s developed an<br />
“obsession” in learning what his<br />
body is capable of.<br />
“Going through cancer<br />
treatment and seeing what my<br />
body could withstand, I have<br />
grown a fascination with what<br />
the body can do and putting<br />
mind over matter and having<br />
mental strength. That’s why<br />
endurance sport appeals to me,<br />
it’s a battle between your head<br />
and your body to push yourself.”<br />
Over the last four months,<br />
Mr Bailey has completed<br />
triathlon events, something<br />
which came as a shock to him<br />
as he could not swim more than<br />
25m a year ago.<br />
“I did fairly poorly,” he said.<br />
“But I really enjoyed them.”<br />

A GREAT idea for the old Ascot golf<br />
course on page 5 today.<br />
Radio man Chris Bond wants to develop<br />
a multi-sport training and entertainment<br />
complex on the site.<br />
Bondy’s plan, in a submission on the<br />
QE II Park Master Plan, says: “Its facilities will include a 280m<br />
driving range, batting cages for cricket, baseball and softball,<br />
state-of-the-art swing and training simulators, a dynamic<br />
all-weather indoor mini golf course and a thrilling eight-lane<br />
sack slide.”<br />
The question is, who will pay for it?<br />
And if the master plan looks like it will drag on for years<br />
before anything is done – like other master plans – why not<br />
return the site to what it was: A par 3 golf course.<br />

Civic Award for Coleen<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
COLEEN DUNLOP may be<br />
turning 90 this year, but that<br />
has never stopped her from<br />
doing what she loves most –<br />
volunteering.<br />
After spending 17 years<br />
with the Wainoni Avonside<br />
Community Services Trust,<br />
the Parklands woman has been<br />
recognised with a Civic Award.<br />
Mrs Dunlop is one of 12<br />
across the city to have the award<br />
presented to her by Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel recently.<br />
She said she was both “surprised”<br />
and “really nervous” to<br />
receive her award.<br />
“I love it, I really do love it<br />
. . . I like to do things and meet<br />
people,” she said.<br />
Even undergoing a triple heart<br />
bypass surgery 18 years ago<br />
hasn’t stopped her.<br />
“I had no symptoms, I just<br />
got very breathless. I was sent<br />
in for an angiogram and then I<br />
was sent up in Auckland. They<br />
decided I needed my bypass,”<br />
Mrs Dunlop said.<br />
But she said the surgery has<br />
not affected her since.<br />
She was nominated for the<br />
award by Trust co-ordinator<br />
Betty Chapman, the trust’s<br />
patron Margaret Austin and<br />
chairman Rodney Routledge.<br />
Mrs Chapman said she is the<br />
most amazing lady, she volunteers<br />
most days and is always<br />
thinking of others.<br />
Mrs Dunlop volunteers on<br />
average about three to five hours<br />
a day at the trust.<br />
“She is always thinking of<br />
other people and worrying as to<br />
their well-being and is always<br />
wondering what she can do for<br />
them to help out a little,” Mrs<br />
Chapman said.<br />
Mrs Dunlop said she loved<br />
meeting people and continued<br />
to volunteer after her husband<br />
passed away in 2004.<br />
Mrs Chapman said when the<br />
trust hosts Age Concern courses<br />
or morning teas she is always the<br />
one putting on the lunch refreshments<br />
or morning high teas.<br />
Mrs Dunlop also works on the<br />
Wainoni Riverside Community<br />
Garden and assists with the<br />
Veggie Co-Op New Brighton<br />

“I love making cups of tea and<br />
Betty and I get on so well together.<br />
I always tell her I am old enough<br />
to be her mother,” she said.<br />
Mrs Dunlop said a large joint<br />
birthday party is planned in<br />
September with her 29-year-old<br />
granddaughter.<br />
“You mustn’t look ahead<br />
though. It is too far to look<br />
ahead. I am a one day at a time<br />
person,” she said.<br />

SPLASH: Youngsters at the South Brighton Surf Life Saving Club holiday programme make a dash to see if they have what it takes to be lifeguards.<br />
These kids could save your life one day<br />
• Matt Slaughter<br />
THE NEXT generation of surf<br />
lifesavers have been put through<br />
their paces.<br />
A South Brighton Surf Life<br />
Saving Club programme has<br />
been teaching 40 aspiring<br />
lifeguards the skills they need to<br />
keep themselves and others safe<br />
at the beach.<br />
The school pupils are learning<br />
some of the skills needed to save<br />
lives and have fun while they’re<br />
at it.<br />
Last week, pupils got the<br />
chance to compete in board<br />
paddling and swimming races, as<br />
well as test their speed and agility<br />
on the sand.<br />
The fun isn’t over, with<br />
the programme continuing<br />
this week. Club president<br />
Rohan McNaughton said the<br />
programme was a great way to<br />
scout out new talent.<br />
“They’re learning how to use<br />
the beach in a safe way, which in<br />
a community that’s this close to<br />
the beach is quite important.”<br />
He said the programme aims to<br />
teach the pupils the skills needed<br />
to be both good lifeguards and<br />
good people. The best lifeguards<br />
from the programme will now<br />
be encouraged to take up afterschool<br />
surf lifesaving lessons to<br />
further their skills and one day<br />
maybe become senior lifeguards.<br />

Multi-sport complex mooted for Ascot<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
HE HELPED create one of the<br />
biggest brands in Canterbury<br />
radio with Si and Gary, now The<br />
Breakfast Club producer Bondy<br />
wants to reinstate the golfing<br />
complex at QE II<br />
Park.<br />
More FM radio<br />
producer and<br />
Five and Under<br />
Par Ltd owner<br />
Chris Bond<br />
has pitched his<br />
Chris Bond<br />
plan to lease the<br />
former site of<br />
the Ascot golf<br />
course and driving range from<br />
the city council to develop a<br />
new “multi-sport training and<br />
entertainment” complex.<br />
“Its facilities will include a<br />
280m driving range, batting<br />
cages for cricket, baseball and<br />
softball, state-of-the-art swing<br />
and training simulators, a<br />
dynamic all-weather indoor mini<br />
golf course and a thrilling eight<br />
lane sack slide,” he said in his<br />
submission on the QE II Park<br />
Master Plan.<br />
The master plan is a $12<br />
million 10-year upgrade of the<br />
37ha space. It includes plans for<br />
new public toilets and changing<br />
rooms, upgraded community<br />
WHAT REMAINS: The former site of the Ascot driving range could become a golf hub again.<br />
centre, playground, basketball<br />
court and disc golf course.<br />
His proposal included a<br />
petition with 2938 signatures.<br />
It also has letters of support<br />
from Sport Canterbury, 13 local<br />
schools, New Zealand Golf,<br />
Canterbury Golf, Christchurch<br />
School of Gymnastics, Waimairi<br />
and Rawhiti golf clubs and the<br />
North Beach and Northshore<br />
residents’ associations.<br />
“The complex will feature a<br />
range of facilities and activities,<br />
strategically selected to fill a gap<br />
in the current market and to<br />
complement rather than compete<br />
with other facilities in the area,”<br />
Mr Bond said.<br />
“In fact, this site is so well<br />
suited to being a driving range,<br />
it’s what used to be there.”<br />
The Ascot golf course and<br />
driving range was closed after<br />
suffering significant damage<br />
in the February <strong>22</strong>, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The building was demolished<br />
in 2012.<br />
“We understand that the site<br />
was impacted by liquefaction in<br />
the 2010/2011 earthquakes, but<br />
initial Geotech advice indicates<br />
that with the appropriate<br />
foundations, this site would still<br />
be suitable for building on,” he<br />
said.<br />
City council head of recreation,<br />
sports and events Nigel Cox said<br />
staff had met with Mr Bond over<br />
his proposal three times last year.<br />
“The draft QE II Park Master<br />
Plan that was consulted on in<br />
2018 did not include allocation<br />
of space for commercial<br />
development,” he said.<br />
However, it could be included<br />
in the final plan if approved by<br />
the city council’s hearings panel.<br />
Mr Bond will speak to the<br />
panel on Monday before a<br />
decision is made.<br />
Bid to stop $1m QE II toilet block<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A BID WILL be made this<br />
week to scuttle plans for a $1<br />
million toilet block and<br />
changing room at Queen<br />
Elizabeth II Park.<br />
City councillor Glenn<br />
Livingstone says the<br />
cost for the planned<br />
200 sq m building is too<br />
extravagant.<br />
He said a less expensive<br />
building should<br />
be constructed and the<br />
money saved from it<br />
spent elsewhere.<br />
Glenn<br />
Livingstone<br />
“You can build a good house<br />
for $350,000, which includes the<br />
infrastructure, sewage and water,<br />
so I’m not sure what they<br />
have in mind for $1 million,”<br />
he said.<br />
The master plan is before<br />
a city council hearings<br />
panel which will<br />
make a recommendation<br />
about the plan to the full<br />
city council.<br />
Cr Livingstone, who<br />
is on the panel, said he<br />
would voice his concerns<br />
at the hearing.<br />
Cr David East, who represents<br />
the Coastal Ward, said he<br />
couldn’t comment because he<br />
was on the hearings panel.<br />
But Cr Jamie Gough agreed<br />
with Cr Livingstone: “It sounds<br />
like an extraordinary amount of<br />
money. So it does make you question<br />
the value of that.”<br />
The $12 million in the Master<br />
Plan will go towards the construction<br />
and repair of sporting<br />
facilities that were lost and damaged<br />
in the earthquakes, a new<br />
playground and a community<br />
centre upgrade.<br />
Jamie Gough<br />
He could not understand why<br />
$1 million of that would be for<br />
toilets and changing block.<br />
City council head of<br />
recreation, sports and<br />
events Nigel Cox said<br />
the $1 million budgeted<br />
for the toilet and<br />
changing room block<br />
was an estimate.<br />
The 200 sq m building<br />
would have four<br />
changing rooms with<br />
showers and toilets,<br />
a referees’ changing<br />
room, storage, public toilets, provision<br />
of services and landscaping<br />
including paving, vegetation,<br />
seating, a drinking fountain and<br />
cycle stands.<br />
Mr Cox said $1 million<br />
was seen as the necessary<br />
amount to build a toilet<br />
and changing room facility<br />
that would stand the test<br />
of time.<br />
“Sport change facilities<br />
are high use and built to<br />
a high specification to<br />
ensure longevity and<br />
vandal resistance,” Mr<br />
Cox said.<br />

Gary Knight responds to<br />
an article on speeding in<br />
New Brighton.<br />
GIVEN THE volume of<br />
speeding tickets issued in and<br />
around the eastern suburbs<br />
in the pre-Christmas period,<br />
the instigation of checkpoints<br />
was a pro-active step. Their<br />
continuation to help combat<br />
such offences as driving while<br />
using a cell phone, not wearing<br />
a seat belt and drink driving is<br />
commendable.<br />
However, additional factors<br />
just as detrimental to road<br />
safety include driving while<br />
applying cosmetics, lighting<br />
and extinguishing cigarettes,<br />
selecting music, unfoiling<br />
takeaway foods, paperwork<br />
entries and child chastisement.<br />
Within this context, these<br />
instances when encountered<br />
should attract similar instant<br />
fines and demerit points to<br />
create an overall balance in<br />
the interests of road safety<br />
awareness.<br />
New Brighton<br />
Bin Inn owner<br />
Nikki Griffin<br />
says the<br />
community can<br />
become better<br />
connected<br />
with the police<br />
through social media<br />
IF YOU look at posts on<br />
community Facebook pages<br />
over the holiday season, you see<br />
post after post about break-ins,<br />
vandalism, thefts, burglaries,<br />
video footage of late night<br />
wanders and cars being stolen.<br />
These posts are normally<br />
backed by photos, asking for the<br />
names of the offenders.<br />
It would seem that Facebook<br />
pages have become the new<br />
police.<br />
We are now more aware of<br />
crimes due to these posts and<br />
they are not just limited to<br />
communities on the city’s east<br />
side. This is happening all over<br />
the city.<br />
Often these posts start out<br />
with negative comments that are<br />
turned into an active discussion,<br />
with some good outcomes for our<br />
community in terms of wanting<br />
to work together and with the<br />
police to lower crime.<br />
Over the Christmas period, I<br />
have noticed more police walking<br />
the beat and being met with a<br />
positive response by people in the<br />
New Brighton business area.<br />
It is great to see people stopping<br />
to have a chat with the police.<br />
There seems to be a lot of<br />
frustration around the opening<br />
hours of the local station for<br />
many in the community.<br />
I believe a few simple things<br />
could create a better connection<br />
between the public and police,<br />
including updates on staff<br />
changes through our own local<br />
police Facebook page.<br />
The page could also be used<br />
to inform locals about the areas<br />
with an increase in petty crime<br />
and what people need to do to<br />
keep themselves safe.<br />
COMMUNICATE:<br />
Nikki Griffin<br />

What it takes to remove the chlorine<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
With the<br />
clock ticking<br />
on the city<br />
council’s<br />
self-imposed<br />
deadline<br />
to end<br />
temporary<br />
chlorination of the<br />
water supply within<br />
12 months, water<br />
supply improvement<br />
programme manager<br />
Helen Beaumont gives<br />
an update on how the<br />
work is tracking<br />
IT HAS been a year since the city<br />
council voted to temporarily add<br />
chlorine to the drinking water<br />
supply in response to advice from<br />
the Canterbury Medical Officer<br />
of Health.<br />
Over the past few months we<br />
have made significant progress<br />
on upgrading the wells that<br />
supply our water so that we<br />
can get back to having an<br />
unchlorinated water supply.<br />
To date we have upgraded<br />
25 per cent of our wells – by<br />
volume of water produced – to<br />
bring them up to a standard<br />
that exceeds the present<br />
requirements.<br />
We’ve set the bar higher than<br />
required because we anticipate<br />
that more stringent standards<br />
will be introduced by the<br />
Government shortly.<br />
Upgrading each well takes<br />
between two and six weeks and<br />
we can only work on a limited<br />
number of wells at any one time<br />
because we still to need supply<br />
water to homes and businesses.<br />
We have been running a water<br />
conservation campaign asking<br />
people to use less water so we can<br />
continue work on the wells and<br />
we really appreciate the efforts<br />
people have been making.<br />
Our data shows average water<br />
use to date is well below the<br />
summer averages for the past two<br />
years. If that keeps up we should<br />
be able to continue with the well<br />
remediation work as planned.<br />
By May we expect to have<br />
completed interim upgrades on<br />
19 below-ground wells and raised<br />
another 41 wells above ground,<br />
bringing the total number of<br />
secure wells to 98.<br />
Those wells collectively provide<br />
more than 60 per cent of the<br />
city’s water supply.<br />
If we upgrade those wells<br />
as planned, we should<br />
have a sufficient volume of<br />
unchlorinated water to supply<br />
the city over the winter months<br />
when we use about 50 per cent<br />
less water than we do in the<br />
summer.<br />
However, even after doing this<br />
work, providing chlorine-free<br />
water to everyone in every part of<br />
the city remains a challenge.<br />
The water supply is delivered<br />
through nine discrete zones.<br />
The central zone is our biggest<br />
water zone and supplies water to<br />
42 per cent of the population. It<br />
is the oldest part of the city and<br />
where we have the most wells<br />
that need to be raised above<br />
ground.<br />
There is high demand for water<br />
relative to the available capacity<br />
in this zone and, therefore, very<br />
little excess capacity. This makes<br />
it difficult to do the necessary<br />
upgrades.<br />
To address the challenge in<br />
the central zone, in addition<br />
to the interim upgrades on<br />
below-ground wells, we are also<br />
working to install ultra violet<br />
treatment at the main pump<br />
station.<br />
The main pump station is the<br />
biggest supplier of water to the<br />
central zone, and we are working<br />
with the contractor on ways that<br />
the installation can be sped up<br />
so water can be treated with UV<br />
instead of chlorine at this site.<br />
We are also looking at whether<br />
we can transfer water across zone<br />
boundaries.<br />
There are technical challenges<br />
because of the different pressure<br />
levels in some of the zones.<br />
However, it may be possible<br />
for us to use some of the pump<br />
stations on the boundaries of the<br />
central zone to push untreated<br />
water into that area.<br />
In addition, we are<br />
investigating whether we can<br />
make use of two private wells on<br />
the Metro Sports Facility site.<br />
They tap into deep aquifers<br />
and were originally drilled for a<br />
ground-source heat pump that is<br />
no longer required.<br />
They may be suitable to supply<br />
potable water to homes and<br />
businesses in the central zone.<br />
We are confident that seven of<br />
the nine city supply zones will be<br />
chlorine free by May this year.<br />
It is likely that we will have<br />
sufficient water from secure wells<br />
in the Ferrymead zone, and we<br />
are doing further modelling of<br />
water supply options and looking<br />
at opportunities to fast track<br />
works in the central zone.<br />
In the meantime, we are also<br />
looking at how we can reduce the<br />
amount of chlorine in the water.<br />
At the pump stations where<br />
the chlorine has two minutes to<br />
react with the water and disinfect<br />
it before it reaches the first<br />
consumer we have been able to<br />
halve the dose of chlorine.<br />
We are now looking at whether<br />
we can re-route the water at some<br />
of the other pump stations so we<br />
can give the chlorine a longer<br />
time to do its job before it reaches<br />
the first consumer.<br />
For example, if we can send the<br />
water around the block before<br />
it reaches people’s homes, there<br />
may be other pump stations<br />
where we can also reduce the<br />
dose.<br />
Each pump station has<br />
between one and six wells<br />
supplying it. Where some wells<br />
are remediated and some are not,<br />
we have to chlorinate all of the<br />
water unless we can isolate<br />
the wells that haven’t been<br />
remediated.<br />
We can only do that when the<br />
demand for water is low.<br />
When there are periods of<br />
low demand we aim to only use<br />
pump stations without chlorine.<br />
It is only when absolutely<br />
necessary, as water demand<br />
rises, that we bring the<br />
chlorinated pump stations into<br />
service.<br />
We all want the chlorine out<br />
of our water and we are working<br />
hard to ensure we can have an<br />
unchlorinated water supply as<br />
soon as possible.<br />

Edgeware Pool<br />
group needs<br />
$20k for<br />
feasibility study<br />
FINDING $20,000 to pay<br />
for a feasibility study into the<br />
Edgeware Pool is a new priority<br />
for the community group behind<br />
the project.<br />
The St Albans Pavilion and<br />
Pool Group is using a Givealittle<br />
page to raise money for the study,<br />
which will assess the practicality<br />
of the pool’s designs and whether<br />
it will be enough of an asset to<br />
the community. After the study,<br />
the group can apply to major<br />
charitable funders for money to<br />
build the pool.<br />
In 2016, the city council sold<br />
the land for the Edgeware Pool to<br />
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
Group for $1. The council said it<br />
would commit $1.25 million if<br />
the group can raise the rest of the<br />
$5 million cost. So far, more than<br />
$150,000 has been raised for the<br />
project.<br />
“The support has been fantastic<br />
from the community. It will be a<br />
fantastic facility as we are a growing<br />
suburb,” said community<br />
member Lynne O’Keefe.<br />

TRANSFORMATION: A sketch of how the Pleasant Point Yacht Club will look when its new buildings are shifted on site.<br />
New rooms on way for yacht club<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A SIX-YEAR wait for new<br />
clubrooms at Pleasant Point<br />
Yacht Club could be over by<br />
April.<br />
The club has been operating<br />
out of five makeshift containers<br />
since 2013.<br />
After receiving building<br />
consent in October, it has now<br />
started to make preparations<br />
to move two buildings from<br />
Canterbury University’s<br />
Kirkwood Village block onto its<br />
site at South New Brighton Park.<br />
Pleasant Point Yacht<br />
Club publicity officer Nigel<br />
Humphreys said once the<br />
buildings were shifted and<br />
renovated, the club would once<br />
again have fully functional<br />
clubrooms and a separate toilet<br />
and shower block.<br />
Mr Humphreys said this<br />
would be a huge change from<br />
the containers it is operating<br />
out of currently, which were<br />
predominantly only used for<br />
storage.<br />
“At the moment, we don’t<br />
have any showers, any hot water,<br />
any power, any facilities or any<br />
toilets.”<br />
“Once we have this in place,<br />
we will finally have some decent<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
facilities that our club members<br />
deserve.”<br />
Mr Humphreys said the<br />
project would cost about<br />
$800,000 by the time it has been<br />
completed.<br />
He said Pleasant Point<br />
Yacht Club still needs<br />
about$120,000 to make the new<br />
clubrooms a reality and it is<br />
looking into ways to raise the<br />
money.<br />

Bugs under the spotlight<br />
A NEW STUDY will shine some<br />
light on insects in the red zone.<br />
National Institute of Water and<br />
Atmospheric Research freshwater<br />
ecologist Michelle Greenwood is<br />
investigating how a change in<br />
the colour spectrum of street<br />
lights could be affecting the<br />
insects that live in and near<br />
freshwater.<br />
Street lights in Christchurch<br />
and around New Zealand are<br />
being converted from mostly<br />
high pressure sodium lights,<br />
which emit a yellowish light, to<br />
more cost-effective, low energy,<br />
light-emitting diodes with a bluer<br />
light.<br />
The city council is changing<br />
38,000 street lights to LED lamps.<br />
It estimates the move will save<br />
$32 million in operational and<br />
maintenance costs over 20 years.<br />
Dr Greenwood said insects<br />
are indicators of the health of<br />
urban waterways, but little is<br />
known about how the switch to<br />
LEDs will affect them. If their<br />
behaviour is altered, it could have<br />
a flow-on effect for other plants<br />
and animals.<br />
“A lot of insects are more<br />
sensitive to the blue end of the<br />
colour spectrum, which means<br />
they could be more attracted to<br />
the new street lights.<br />
If they are attracted to light,<br />
INVESTIGATION: NIWA freshwater ecologist Michelle<br />
Greenwood is investigating the impact of LED lights on insects<br />
like caddisflies (inset) in the red zone.<br />
PHOTO: NIWA<br />
they are attracted away from<br />
normal activities.<br />
They might just fly around and<br />
around the light until they’re<br />
exhausted and die.”<br />
Dr Greenwood will observe<br />
insects, such as caddisflies, flies<br />
and midges, emerging from the<br />
Avon River in the red zone, as<br />
well as other urban waterways, to<br />
see how they behave around the<br />
lights.<br />
“The Avon is tidal so it may<br />
mean that there are different<br />
responses at different locations,<br />
so we are hoping a pilot study<br />
this summer will guide further<br />
trials later in the project,” she<br />
said.<br />
The first pilot test will see<br />
sheets of clear Perspex coated in a<br />
sticky substance mounted next to<br />
the light to catch insects.<br />
These will be replaced daily.<br />

Call for more dolphin monitors in port<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A MARINE biologist has<br />
criticised the Lyttelton Port<br />
Company’s use of a single<br />
observer to monitor Hector’s<br />
dolphins in the harbour.<br />
LPC is currently piling for<br />
its new cruise ship berth. It has<br />
promised<br />
to cease all<br />
pile driving<br />
activity<br />
when<br />
Hector’s<br />
dolphins<br />
come within<br />
450m of the<br />
Liz Slooten<br />
berth.<br />
However,<br />
Otago<br />
University marine biology<br />
professor Liz Slooten said the<br />
majority of dolphins are likely<br />
to be undetected by a single<br />
observer.<br />
“With one person looking,<br />
you are only going to see a small<br />
fraction of the dolphins that are<br />
out there.”<br />
Prof Slooten said this could<br />
cause a lot of dolphins to be<br />
vulnerable to hearing loss.<br />
“They use sound for everything<br />
– that’s why people often say a<br />
deaf dolphin is a dead dolphin.”<br />
Prof Slooten said the size of the<br />
safety zone also makes it difficult<br />
to detect the dolphins.<br />
“The probability of detecting<br />
Hector’s dolphins drops quite<br />
significantly with distance,” she<br />
said.<br />
“At about 100m you only<br />
see about 60 per cent (of the<br />
dolphins), and about 200m you<br />
only see a third, and at 400m you<br />
would only see about 14 per cent<br />
of the dolphins.”<br />
LPC strategic engagement<br />
manager Phil De Joux said he is<br />
confident its current plan will<br />
mitigate the impacts of piling on<br />
the dolphins.<br />
“We have worked at putting<br />
VULNERABLE:<br />
Pile-driving at<br />
Lyttelton Port<br />
Company’s<br />
planned new<br />
cruise ship<br />
berth can cause<br />
temporary or<br />
even permanent<br />
hearing loss for<br />
the endangered<br />
Hector’s dolphins.<br />
together this plan with a group of<br />
experts with years of experience<br />
from multiple disciplines.”<br />
Mr De Joux said 287 dolphins<br />
have been spotted since it started<br />
piling at the end of last year.<br />

Perfect camping trip at South Brighton<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A FAMILY with a long history<br />
of holidaying at South Brighton<br />
was back this year for the camp’s<br />
busiest season.<br />
Camper Scott Rushton said he<br />
had been spending the festive<br />
season at the South Brighton<br />
Holiday Park since 1998, as it had<br />
been one of his mum’s favourite<br />
spots.<br />
It had since become a favourite<br />
for his family and he said it was<br />
great to see the park full with<br />
campers after an uncertain<br />
couple of years.<br />
Mr Rushton continued to camp<br />
at the park after the earthquakes<br />
left it with limited facilities<br />
because he wanted to show his<br />
support in difficult times.<br />
Park owner Sam Hawkins said<br />
when he and his wife Jacquie<br />
bought the park in 2017 they<br />
were faced with a huge job to fix<br />
damage from the earthquakes.<br />
But the repairs have been made<br />
and after a quiet couple of years,<br />
Mr Hawkins said the number of<br />
campers at the park had doubled<br />
this season compared to the<br />
last Christmas and New Year’s<br />
period.<br />
“We had to close the park three<br />
times over new year because it<br />
was at capacity.”<br />
Though Mr Rushton and his<br />
LOYAL: Scott Rushton and his family (above) spent the festive<br />
season at South Brighton Holiday Park, owned by Sam and<br />
Jacquie Hawkins (right), when it reached capacity.<br />
family enjoyed camping at the<br />
park for many years, he said the<br />
mood had been extra special<br />
during this stay.<br />
“They’ve brought back what<br />
was originally so good about the<br />
place. It’s a place to camp up and<br />
meet people and have barbecues.”<br />
“Its a hidden little gem, which<br />
I don’t want to give away too<br />
much, really.”<br />
Mr Rushton, his wife Sarah and<br />
their four children Olivia, Lucas,<br />
Fleur and Maddison travelled<br />
from Leeston and stayed in a tent<br />
at the park over the holidays.<br />
He said it had all the<br />
makings of a classic Kiwi<br />
camping trip.<br />
“The kids loved it. We were<br />
only going out for seven nights<br />
and we ended up staying for 11.<br />
The weather was great as well.”<br />
Mr Rushton said the holiday<br />
park had a lot to offer, which is<br />
what kept him going back year<br />
after year.<br />
“I always knew what it was like<br />
and always knew the potential it<br />
had,” he said.<br />
“The beach is just down the<br />
road and it’s so sheltered that it<br />
hardly gets any wind. It’s just<br />
mint.”<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />
Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential<br />
Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner.<br />
Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over<br />
10 years and lives locally in Geraldine.<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas<br />
own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate<br />
are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil<br />
from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s<br />
most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6<br />
to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term<br />
healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals<br />
are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good<br />
fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying<br />
your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you<br />
need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for<br />
money. Feed less and save more.<br />
It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also<br />
crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet<br />
owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are<br />
on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The<br />
business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before<br />
money’.<br />
Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the<br />
superfood ingredients.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />
Center found those most deficient<br />
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />
brain mass and the lowest scores on<br />
tests measuring short-term memory,<br />
concentration and brain performance.<br />
Another study showed that older people<br />
with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />
have bigger, healthier brains and score<br />
higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />
study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.<br />
B12 is essential for energy production, cell<br />
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,<br />
nerve health and repair, and prevention<br />
of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />
risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />
and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />
researchers found<br />
a 34% decrease<br />
risk of vision<br />
loss in a study<br />
of participants<br />
aged 40+ who<br />
supplemented with<br />
B12. Another study<br />
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12<br />
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />
it declining with age as the digestive<br />
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />
medication and other drugs further reduce<br />
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and<br />
thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />
the body.<br />

New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />
new research has shown that neurons<br />
can grow back with the right conditions<br />
and that a special extract of Gingko<br />
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />
been clinically found to assist in this.<br />
The implications for stroke recovery are<br />
obvious, but researchers also know many<br />
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />
that over a period of time slowly<br />
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />
is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />
supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />
cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />
mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />
alertness, motor function and to help<br />
with many conditions including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />
micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />
flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />
the red blood cells more pliable and<br />
capillary walls more flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented<br />
multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />
tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?<br />
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,<br />
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs<br />
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.<br />
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />
major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />
passed all five of the test requirements.<br />
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />
and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

A classic Kiwiana bach<br />
46 Bayview Road, Charteris Bay<br />
Price: $405,000<br />
3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 kitchen/dining room | 1 living room | Off-street parking | Listing Number: 8375<br />
Think Marmite, Pavlova, the All Blacks,<br />
Buzzy Bees etc. etc., this quirky character<br />
filled 3 bedroom classic bach takes us back<br />
to a time when life was simple and less<br />
complicated.<br />
Nestled amongst large mature Manuka<br />
and native trees and enjoying some of<br />
the very best uninterrupted views in the<br />
Harbour this wee charmer is on the market<br />
for the first time in about 60 years. Set on<br />
2 levels, private, sunny and with off-street<br />
parking.<br />
The living area which is upstairs to take<br />
in those magnificent views has a woodburner<br />
to keep things cosy. An added<br />
bonus is a sleep-out set away from the<br />
house and the 979m 2 site is bush clad so no<br />
lawns to mow.<br />
Only approx. 25 minutes drive from<br />
the city come and discover the beauty<br />
of Charteris Bay and all the area has to<br />
offer including Orton Bradley Park and<br />
golf course, beautiful walks and beaches,<br />
nearby tennis courts and cafés and a short<br />
ferry trip to check out Lyttelton.<br />
Being so close to the city makes these<br />
baches very useable, no more hours in<br />
the car and it feels like you are in another<br />
world.<br />
