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

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

THAT’S ONE amazing story on page 1
today.
Jake Bailey, the young bloke who gained
international attention in 2015 with his
gripping speech about his shock cancer
diagnosis, is competing in the Coast to
Coast. He had been given two weeks to live.
Jake’s now 21 and resides on the Gold Coast and is living life
to the fullest.
He will take part in the team event. Jake will do the cycle leg
of 160km while his two mates will run and kayak.
That cycle leg could be savage if there is an easterly wind
blowing.
It will be like biking into a brick wall.
Not bad for someone who was never into sport. It is amazing
what determination can do.

Fire rages, homes at risk
$20k needed for pool study
• By Jess Gibson
FINDING $20,000 to pay for a
feasibility study into a pool in
Edgeware is a new priority for
the community group behind the
project.
The St Albans Pavilion and
Pool Group is using a Givealittle
page to raise
money for the
study, which
will assess the
practicality
of the new
Edgeware Pool
designs and
whether it will
Pauline Cotter
be an asset to
the community.
After the
study, the group can then apply
for money from major charitable
funding groups to build the pool.
In 2016, the city council sold
the land for the Edgeware Pool to
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool
Group for $1.
The city council stated at
the time it would not contribute
to the project, but later said it
would commit $1.25 million if
the group could raise the rest of
the $5 million cost.
So far, more than $150,000 has
been raised for the project, which
has been used to cover other costs

including resource consent and
developing design plans.
“The support has been fantastic
from the community. It will
be a fantastic facility as we
are a growing suburb and the
population is increasing,” said
community member Lynne
O’Keefe.
Mrs O’Keefe said monthly
public fundraising quizzes
attended by the public at Bailies
Bar and Restaurant have been a
huge part of fundraising.
Innes Ward city councillor
Pauline Cotter has been behind
the group since it began.
“The reason I’m so passionate
about this is that it’s so important
for young kids, particularly in
that 10-17 age bracket to have
a safe environment for them to
hang out,” said Cr Cotter.

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

Breaking down boundaries by being
POPULAR: Mummy blogger Rebecca Keil at home with her two children Ruby and Rocky.
• By Sophie Cornish
REBECCA KEIL describes
herself as “not very vanilla.”
But that trait is what led her to
become an online sensation, that
has brands such as Countdown,
Netflix and Jetstar wanting to
work with her.
The 25-year-old attributes
her online success and
unconventional income solely to
being a conventional, everyday
mother.
Online, Mrs Keil, of
Bishopdale, shares reviews
of a variety of products from
nappies to Tim Tams, helpful
tips and hacks, recipes and ‘her
truths’ about pregnancy and
motherhood.
The mummy-blogger has close
to 24,000 Instagram followers,
her posts can receive up to 1500
‘likes’ and her story posts gain on
average 8000 views.
On YouTube, Mrs Keil has
clocked up more than 1.2 million
views.
But it all began with a blog,
Rocky and Ruby, also the names
of her five-year-old son and threeyear-old
daughter.
In 2015, mummy-blogging was
gaining traction globally and Mrs
Keil spotted a gap in the market
in New Zealand.
She attributes her success to
a candid, raw and authentic
approach to motherhood and
parenting.
“Online, everyone had
beautiful homes, perfect lifestyles
and lots of money, that was what I
was seeing,” she said.
“I was like s**t, why isn’t my
life like this? You begin to
question everything. I just
wanted to be raw, honest and
show that my family and I didn’t
need to fit into a mould to feel
good enough.”
With this logic, her first post
began with advice on ‘pregnancy
hacks’ and she shared the good,
bad and the ugly.
“It just took off, it went
really crazy . . . I was talking
about things that people weren’t
talking about – things that may
have been taboo or “not cool”
to talk about, such as money
and how hard it is at times like
Christmas.”
Two and a half years later,
Rocky and Ruby had become
a rapid success across many
different platforms.
When Mrs Keil’s readership
was averaging between
20-30,000 views a month, she
began working with brands
who wanted to advertise to her
audience.

Through a platform called,
The Social Club, started by
Christchurch woman Georgia
McGillivray, Mrs Keil was able
to create her own profile, where
brands could find her, reach out
and offer an opportunity to work
together.
The first income she
received from her blog was an
advertisement from Lifestyle app.
Not long after that, Mrs Keil

was approached by McDonalds.
“It was so exciting, I thought
that’s it, I’ve made it, send me to
Hollywood,” she joked.
Mrs Keil put up a photo on
her Instagram of her and other
mothers at McCafe with their
children.
“I will get sent through a brief
of what they would like, their target
audience, their message. Then
the rest is totally up to me, I’ve
never been censored, I’m not very
vanilla, that’s what they say about
me in the media world.”
In one of her most outrageous
blog posts, Mrs Keil talked
about sex after having babies, to
promote an organic lubrication
company who had reached out
to her.
Now, Mrs Keil has her own
agent and is planning to launch a
website, The Mother Yarns.
She’s completed several tours
around New Zealand, selling
more than 1200 tickets, to people
who want to hear her speak.
One tour helped Mrs Keil and
her husband, Jared Keil, buy their
first home.
On the same tour, she raised
$15,000 for Lifelife Helpline.
“One thing I am passionate
about as an influencer is giving
back to the community. People’s
spent their hard-earned money to
see me, and helped me to buy
a house, so I wanted to give
back.”
Currently, Mrs Keil has ceased
her blog-writing, to work on
launching the brand, where she
hopes to expand her content from
her own life to other women’s
experiences through motherhood
and parenting.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Preparing for an ageing population
• By Jess Gibson
WORK IS ramping up on
another big retirement village in
the north-west.
The main building of the
$100 million Summerset on
Cavendish, a 7ha complex in
Casebrook, will be completed
later this year.
Spokeswoman Jenny Bridgen
said it expects the building at
the Cavendish Rd site to be
fully operational by December,
with the rest of the site to be
completed by 2021.
It will be one of three
Summerset villages to open in
Christchurch, with the others in
Avonhead and Wigram.
The main building will offer
an award-winning Memory Care
Centre for people affected by
dementia, the first of its kind in
Canterbury, with 20 apartmentstyle
rooms and specialised care
for retirees with fully-developed
dementia.
Mrs Bridgen said the main
building will provide a permanent
“heart” for the new village,
including a movie theatre, chapel,
café, hair salon, shop and on-site
care centre for 36 residents
Summerset’s first memory care
centre opened in Levin at Summerset
by the Ranges in 2016.
It won the Aged Care Association’s
built and grown environment
award for its design in 2017
and was accredited for its services
by Alzheimer’s New Zealand last
year.
These centres are set to be
incorporated into all of Summerset’s
new village locations, including
Summerset at Avonhead,
which will open about June.
As Summerset is working to
becoming a ‘dementia friendly’
organisation by 2020, its staff will
be trained in dementia awareness
to meet the international
standards in helping people
affected by mild to fully
developed dementia to live their
best lives.
“I think our memory care
is really important because it
helps our dementia residents
maintain their independence in a
really secure environment,” said
Summerset on Cavendish village
manager Stephanie Meehan.
The Cavendish Rd site has been
in development for 18 months so
far and has required about 250
tradespeople.
There are 73 current residents,
who have occupied 42 completed
units since March last year.
The village will have 270 units
in total once completed.
“It’s been a privilege to be the
manager of a developing village.
You don’t get that opportunity
very often,” said Ms Meehan.
CONSTRUCTION: The main
building of the $100 million
Summerset on Cavendish will
be operational by December.
Fast facts:
•The number of people
living in Christchurch aged
65 and over is estimated to
increase from 52,100 in 2013
to 105,700 in 2043
•The number of people
aged 85 and over is
projected to almost triple,
from 7400 to 20,100 over the
same time frame
•There is an estimated
demand for another
1654 retirement village units
every year in New Zealand
between 2016 and 2043
•By 2050 it is estimated
there will be three times
as many people in New
Zealand affected by
dementia than there is today

Fire rages, homes at risk
Celebrating 40 years of Aratupu
PLAY: Young photographer Shakaia Nepia, 5, tries to get friends
Harrison George, 5, and Peaches Te Whata, 4, to smile.
• Jess Gibson
BOUNCY CASTLES, games,
music and a sausage sizzle will
be ready for families to enjoy on
Friday.
Staff from a Papanui preschool
sent out an open invitation to
families in the community to
join it in celebrating its 40th
birthday from 3.30-5.30pm on
Friday.
The party will commemorate
Aratupu Preschool and
Nursery’s long dedication to
supporting parents in raising
their children.
Aratupu, formerly known as
Fairhaven Daycare Centre, was
built in front of the Methodist
Mission Children’s home on
Harewood Rd in 1978 as a
place for young children to visit
during the day.
When the children’s home
stopped operating soon
after, Aratupu continued to
provide care for children in
the community with the help
of the Christchurch Methodist
Mission.
It had a strong focus on
supporting young, single
mothers to raise and provide for
their children.
Today, the same focus
remains, including a more
holistic approach which aims to
provide a wraparound service
for all families.
Most of the children enrolled
are from young single parent
families who rely on a benefit or
have a low income, with many
receiving the Work and Income
child care subsidy.
Aratupu practice lead Marcia
Manson-Glover said it is
important for staff to play a vital
role in “supporting families
beyond Aratupu’s walls and
creating the best possible home
environment as well.”
“It takes a village to raise
a child, we know that some
whanau don’t have support
systems or that they struggle to
get the support that they need,”
said Mrs Manson-Glover.
The network of services
provided by Aratupu for families
includes an on site whanau
support worker, community
health worker, whanau room,
parenting courses, child and
parent groups, contracted
facilitators and access to all
Christchurch Methodist Mission
services.
Children are also fed with
a cooked lunch every day,
and Aratupu’s partnership
with Pegasus Health ensures
all children are enrolled with
primary health services such as a
GP and dentist.
Aratupu was awarded the
whanau healthy heart award
from the Heart Foundation.
The award recognised
the preschool as having an
environment that promotes
healthy eating and physical
activity.
Mrs Manson-Glover has
worked at Aratupu for 10 years
and said she has seen generations
of families come through.
“One particular mother
brought her children here and
later became a teacher. Now her
daughter is about to give birth
and she’s on the wait list,” she
said.
“Another family with
six children is about to leave
after 18 years. That’s going to be
a big loss for us.”
“It’s that long-standing
relationship at Aratupu that’s
always really relied on,” said Mrs
Manson-Glover.
On Friday, she said she is
hoping to see a lot of old faces
back and connections.
But also wants to meet new
people and families to connect
with them.

Young footballers
take on Japan’s best
ON TOUR: Seamus Gallagher and Nicholas Murphy leaving
Christchurch in their new Phoenix gear.
CHRISTCHURCH United
youngsters Seamus Gallagher and
Nicholas Murphy have been on
tour in Japan with the Wellington
Phoenix Soccer School.
The two Christchurch United
under-12 players were invited
by the Phoenix management
to strengthen the squad for a
demanding two-week, 10-match
tour against some of Japan’s
leading clubs.
Christchurch United Academy
director Colin Williamson said
the tour was a unique occasion
for Seamus, who attends St
Thomas of Canterbury College,
and Nicholas, who will start at St
Bede’s College this year, to test
their skills at a higher level.
“Seamus and Nicholas are two
players with great potential and it
will be interesting to see how they
will do playing alongside other
strong players against top youth
teams,” said Williamson.
Japanese football has created
a global reputation for youth
player development and its junior
and senior teams have been
impressive at FIFA tournaments
across all age-groups.
The Phoenix side arrived on
January 10 and the next day
received a stark warning of what
to expect when they were well
beaten 7-1 in their first match
TEAMMATES: Nicholas Murphy (top row, third from right) and
Seamus Gallagher (eighth from right) after their match against
the Yokohama Marinos.
against JEF United, one of Japan’s
leading first division clubs.
The Phoenix lads and their
new Christchurch teammates
bounced back well, beating an
Ichihara BONZ school team, and
then improved even further in a
4-1 win over the local Ichihara
under-12 selection, with Seamus
setting up the third goal.
They then moved to the Tokyo
suburb of Kanagawa where they
played Yokohama Marinos, the
wealthiest club in Japan with
a famous academy that has
produced some of the country’s
biggest names.
The young New Zealanders
showed how much they had
progressed since their heavy first
game defeat by competing well
with their Japanese peers.
It was an even contest at 1-1
at the break, but they allowed
Yokohama to pull away in the
final stages of the 70min game for
an admirable 2-4 defeat.
Phoenix Soccer School director
Jo Dawkins said the boys were in
tears after the match.
“Not because they lost, but
because they knew they deserved
something out of it.”
She said it was one of the closest
results achieved by a junior New
Zealand team.
Things did not get easier as the
young Kiwis faced other J-League
clubs Kawasaki Frontale and
Kashima Reysol.
The players also got a full
cultural immersion while in
Japan, staying three nights
with the families of their
Japanese opponents in the city
of Kashiwa.
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll
Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential
Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner.
Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over
10 years and lives locally in Geraldine.
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas
own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate
are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil
from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s
most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6
to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term
healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals
are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good
fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying
your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you
need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for
money. Feed less and save more.
It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also
crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet
owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are
on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The
business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before
money’.
Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the
superfood ingredients.

eluctant netballer to top coach
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
WHEN SARA Norton was
11-years-old she was reluctantly
dragged out onto the netball
court – and she vowed to never
play the sport again.
“I couldn’t shoot and I hated it
. . . that was my only experience
with netball,” she said. Now
three decades later, the Avonhead
resident has been presented with
a major coaching award from
Netball New Zealand.
Norton, 44, was named
community coach of the year at
the 2018 Netball Coach Awards
Norton credits her youngest
daughter for starting her career
in netball. Fifteen years ago,
her then six-year-old daughter
decided she wanted to play
netball.
But because the primary school
she attended had no coach,
Norton had no choice but to “step
up.”
While she had to “very
quickly” teach herself how to
teach others to play the game,
she soon found she had a flair for
coaching.
The Hornby Netball Club
coach and Christchurch Netball
Centre junior co-ordinator said
she “couldn’t believe it” when she
won the award.
“I do a lot of coaching and
I work really hard. I do that
because I want to do my best for
TOP COACH: Avonhead’s Sara Norton, who was named Netball New Zealand community coach
of the year, with her Hornby Netball Club Founders Trophy.
the girls that I coach. But never
at any point did I even think
about things like (the award). It is
incredible,” she said.
The award capped off a big year
for Norton who was presented
the Founders Trophy by Hornby
Netball Club founder Lynlea
Willan at the September senior
prize-giving.
She was then awarded coach
of the year by the Christchurch
SPORTS
Netball Centre.
Norton said she is happiest as a
coach when she sees a player who
has struggled in the sport make
an improvement by the end of the
netball season.
“If you can get good results that
is fantastic, but there are always
going to be times when your
results aren’t so good,” she said.
Norton said a key thing is
being able to get people on the
team involved in their own
learning.
“Most people want to be better
at what they are doing and the
only way of doing that is if they
are actually doing it,” she said.
“We have got some wonderful
league players, wonderful rugby
players, basketball, netball. You
name it, we have got it,” she said.
Norton has coached more than
20 teams, including Hornby
Senior A, Middleton Grange A
and the under-14 Christchurch
Netball Centre representative
teams.
“I think for anyone who takes
coaching seriously, being able to
do it professionally is always the
goal . . . if I can take it further
great, and if I can’t, I will just
keep on going.”

Selling a property at the same time as finding your next home
can be a stressful juggling-act. However, Mike Pero Bishopdale
North, run by husband and wife team Ian and Cathy Falconer,
are on hand to bring their unique and very client-friendly
approach to real estate and support you through the whole
process. Part of the Mike Pero franchise, their aim is to make
the experience less daunting. They have been through the
same experiences as their clients, having found homes both
to raise their family and for elderly relatives, so they can
appreciate what their sellers and buyers are going through
and what their specific needs are.
Their new venture is based on firm roots and a heap of
experience. Now married for almost three decades, the couple
started married life in Bishopdale, and are passionate about
supporting the area. Cathy has been the Bishopdale Pink
Ribbon volunteer coordinator for the past seven years and
locals are sure to have seen Ian dressed in pink fundraising to
support the cause. This energetic couple has also embraced
the Eat My Lunch appeal to help Kiwi children in need. They
strongly believe in giving back and in being part of the
community.
That carries over in how much they care about their clients.
“It is important to us that we are not intimidating,” explains
Cathy. They are a down-to-earth couple who want to make
a difference to their clients’ lives. Their own experience
of raising children means they know what a family needs,
and Cathy’s experience in the travel sector helps her to
understand a client then work out what will suit them best.
Selling up and moving house needs attention to detail and
an understanding of timelines, something they both excel
at. Ian’s experience as a chef, in retail and as a manager of
supermarkets, gives him the ability to meet the real needs of
real people by making the commercial world user-friendly.
Cathy and Ian’s friendliness, kindness, and desire to help
their clients really shine through. Their aim is to help you
sell your current property so you can find the right home for
your family to happily grow up in, or for empty-nesters to
comfortably grow old in.

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

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

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is
the only Gingko biloba extract shown
to activated all areas of the brain and is
considered the gold standard in Gingko.

FREE Arts & Design
course, with NCEA built in
For those looking for a role that combines
artistic and digital talents, then this
outstanding, FREE, entry level course
delivered by local Training Provider Trainme,
is perfect for those wishing to pursue, graphic
design, photography or digital media as a
career.
The course covers the introduction to media
techniques such as drawing and photography.
Students will learn to use design software
and create their own design concepts while
collaborating with other students on creative
projects.
This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19
and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.
Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if
they show artistic or digital aptitude.
“Many feel that school is not working for
them or they left without qualifications,”
says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary
educator Trainme. “While not necessarily
academically minded, they do have artistic
talents and are very much into digital
technology.”
“This FREE six-month Trainme course,
combines these in a very hands-on, practical
way, giving them an intro
into various digital media.
This way, they can decide
which direction to pursue
as their career focus.”
“As an NZQA approved
programme, NCEA credits
are built in, so if they
apply themselves, they
can graduate with a New
Zealand Certificate in Arts
and Design Level 2, as well
as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or
2.” Says Pollard.
“NCEA results will depend on how many
credits they bring to the course to start with,
but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school
at all.”
Successful Graduates from this programme
NOR’WEST NEWS
could pathway
into higher study
in media arts,
which could
include graphic
design, video
production,
photography
or one of the
many emerging
digital-based
careers. Places
are limited, so students are encouraged to
apply as soon as they can.

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