Riccarton
bus lounge
problems
‘rear ugly
head’
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
TROUBLE HAS returned to the
Riccarton Rd bus lounges again.
Riccarton Community Constable
Aaron Thorn said anti-social issues
the lounges faced when it opened in
December 2015 is “rearing its ugly
head again.”
He said the main issue is loitering
with the youth aged in their teens
being “disrespectful and smart” and
not moving on from the bus lounges
when asked.
But Constable Thorn said the issues
don’t appear to be the same as
what they used to be.
The bus lounges on Riccarton Rd
have frequently attracted anti-social
behaviour since opening, including
assaults.
“It is minor in the grand scheme
of things, they are just loitering and
hang around and the guards get a bit
frustrated,” Constable Thorn said.
Police met with the security officers
over the issue last week.
The problem started again just
before Christmas involving youths
aged between 14 and 17.

THAT’S ONE amazing story on page 4
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.

Plan to soften road works blow
In Brief
BOARD FUNDING
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community
Board’s funding pool is now
open. Applications can be
made for funding from the
youth development fund,
discretionary response fund
and off the ground fund. For
more information on the
criteria of each or to make an

CLEAR SIGNAGE and
revamped car parking will be
installed to soften the blow for
Riccarton businesses facing
major roadworks outside their
stores this year.
City council staff have been
working with Riccarton Rd
businesses to come up with solutions
to lessen the impact of the
upcoming roadworks starting
between Harakeke and Matipo
Sts.
The work, set to begin next
month, is not expected to be
completed until December 2020.
It comes after businesses raised
concerns over how they would
be affected, leading to a meeting
with city council staff and the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board before
Christmas.
Faster construction methods,
additional signage to indicate
businesses are open and where
available car parking is located
will actioned.
The city council will also
revamp its spaces in the shared
car park on the northern side of
Riccarton Rd between Rimu St
and Straven Rd to provide twohour
parking for shoppers.
However, Inspirations manager
Robyn Speed, said parking will
“certainly be an issue.”
“I am hoping the footpaths
will be open so customer traffic
shouldn’t be a problem,” she said.
Ms Speed said her only concern
is how the roadworks will
affect car parking on a Saturday
morning when the Christchurch
Farmers’ Market is being held.
But she said it is one of those
things that has to be done and it
will take as long as it takes.
Bargain Chemist manager
Michael Sohn said the city council
needs to ensure one lane
is left open for traffic and it is
publicised the businesses are still
open.
The city council is also
developing a parking map for
customers it will circulate and
businesses will be able to give to
its customers.
Zac Plumb, a restaurant worker
based on Riccarton Rd, said people
are concerned the last of the
untimed parking in Riccarton
will be gone because the parks
between Rimu and Straven Rd
will become timed.
“I think they probably need to
come up with something similar
to Wilson Parking. I know people
complain about all the parking
in there is paid, but at least you
can park there without hassle,”
he said.
Mr Plumb said the main thing
the city council needs to make
sure of, is the foot traffic is not
affected.
The roadworks will involve up-

Jake Bailey takes on a new challenge
• 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
INSPIRATIONAL: Jake Bailey will be competing in the Coast to Coast after beating cancer.

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.”

Bid to extend Halswell pool hours
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ABOUT 500 signatures have
been collected and will be
presented to the city council
in support of extending the
Halswell community pool’s
opening hours.
City councillor Anne
Galloway is set to present the
signatures to city
council staff this
week.
The Te Hapua
Halswell Summer
Pool’s current
hours are
Anne
Galloway
Debbie
Mora
11.30am-7pm. It
opened for the
summer season on
November 17 and
will close again on
March 31.
“There is really a
strong demand for
it . . . I think it is a
shame to have this
fantastic resource
out there and that
the facility isn’t
being used to its
full potential,” Cr Galloway said.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board member
Debbie Mora has also lodged
a request with the city council
to maximise the pool’s limited
opening hours over the summer.
Ms Mora said she would like
to see the pool open “anywhere
from 7am” over summer.
“Some people are frustrated
with the opening times . . .
anything earlier than 11.30am
is going to be appreciated,” she
said.
If Ms Mora’s request is
approved by city council
chief executive Karleen
Edwards, it will be sent back
to the community board to be
discussed at its meeting next
Tuesday.
But city council head of
recreation sports and events
Nigel Cox said the pool needs to
be open when there is enough
demand from people wanting to
swim. Figures from last summer
showed patronage was low when
the pool was open during the
early morning hours.
Last year, due to the Pioneer
Recreation and Sport Centre
being closed for maintenance,
the Te Hapua pool was open
from 6am-8pm weekdays and
7am-8pm on the weekend.
Mr Cox said the average
number of people using the
pool before 10am last year was
between 1.2-2.6. The largest
count before 10am for the whole
summer was 13 people.
In the 2016/17 financial year,
the pool recorded a deficit of
$191,000. However, Cr Galloway
said Halswell residents pay a lot

of rates and the facility should be
available for them to use when
they want to use it. She also said
many residents didn’t know the
pool was open earlier last season.
Halswell Residents’
Association secretary David
Hawke said due to the growing
population in Halswell and
Wigram, the pool may need to
be upgraded. The association
will discuss the idea of a heated
and covered pool at its meeting
on Monday.

return

lounges
•From page 1
Constable Thorn said police
can’t be at the bus lounges all day.
“Obviously, when we are there
they behave themselves or scatter
themselves. We are just going to
have to advise them to call the
police if any of that stuff is going
on,” he said.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board member
Catherine Chu was “surprised”
the issues had returned.
The board previously had a
working group in place and it
had sent youth workers into the
lounges to ease the trouble last
year.
Ms Chu said if anti-social
behaviour is going to be a
problem the group may need to be
re-established to explore limited
wi-fi and police presence in the
area.
She was keen on beautifying
unused land on Division St such
as installing a basketball court
and grass areas to give the youth
something to do.

What it takes to remove the chlorine
Fire rages, homes at risk
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.
PRECIOUS: Limit the time you
operate your garden hose.

Greater Hornby Residents’
Association member Mark
Peters slamming the lack
of maintenance next to
the train tracks adjacent to
Carmen Rd
Anna Epiha – Cool story,
do you want to pay the same
amount of rates as they pay in
Fendalton too?
Ak Hawker – As an exresident
of “Fen dal ton darling”
it’s much the same as anywhere
else, you get the break-ins, you
get the stolen cars, you get the
broken bus stop advertising signs
and you get the unmowed grass
berms everywhere. And hey
there are pot holes in the roads
too. But it’s the residents here
that hold the high standard, not
the city council.
Hamish Middleton – I
see the old Sockburn School
grounds are quickly becoming
a fire hazard. Must have been
too difficult for the Government
to arrange the groundkeeper to
continue mowing. Here’s an idea,
get the city council to go mow
it and they’ll realise it’s where
the new pool complex should be
built.

shops, regular maintenance and
council investment.
Michael Vivian – If Stanmore
Rd was in Fendalton it
wouldn’t have any homeless
people hanging round.
Jonathan Scott – Fire risk
waiting to happen.
Elinor Graeme
Washington: I would say the
New Zealand Transport Agency
is not interested in the plantings
in the roads after they have put
them in. Weeds are now the
most obvious plant.
Dawn Hanara – Fendalton
has a bike lane along the tracks,
not grass.
Stella Wyn – I always
thought they were there for a
purpose like those dry grass/
plants in the centre divider.
Sam Smith – So much victim
mentality going on, it’s a bit of
grass, if it offends you so much
mow it yourself.
Yvonne Brown – Would
never get that long in Fendalton,
can’t any residents get together
and put it right, “get rid of the
fire hazard.”
Kaye Le Fleur – Gerry
Brownlee lives there, of course, it
gets more attention.
Heather Wilkins – It’s
almost like they don’t care.
Come on, doesn’t take long to
clean up.
Jeremy Maxwell – Welcome
to New Brighton’s problems.
Craig Watson – Time for a
working bee Horntabrians.
Yvonne Brown – Too many
folk bury their heads and think,
not my problem. That’s what
makes our rates continually
rise. Both the stormwater drains
outside my gate and across the
roadside have been cleared by me
when needed and grass berms
attended too because the “renters
don’t bother, no hardship for
those that have the time.”
Mike Harry – Big difference,
Carmen Rd is a State Highway
owned by NZTA, no reflection
on Fendalton whatsoever. Some
people should think before they
speak.
Geoff Taylor – You should
see New Brighton’s riverbanks.
Andrew Johnson – Not
wrong. You only have to look at
which side of the city’s roads was
repaired first after the quakes.
Lynn Mortlock – Put a
cycleway in there.

Ardern asked to open
Knights Stream School
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PRIME MINISTER Jacinda
Ardern could be a surprise guest
at the opening of Halswell’s
newest school.
She has been invited to attend
the official opening of the $11
million Knights Stream School
in March.
“We would love a little
baby Neve to come. We
are hoping they would
both come. We are a
family school so it would
be cool to have some other
children here as well,”
principal Mike Molloy
said.
The school, along
with Wigram Primary
School and Ararira
Springs Primary, have
written to Ms Ardern’s
office to see if she can
attend three openings on
March 22.
“We thought that
might be a more lucrative
attraction for a person to come
down and get three lots of things
done,” Mr Molloy said.
But he said the schools would
not know if Ms Ardern could
attend until closer to the time.
Wigram Primary School is
shifting to its new school site at
Jacinda
Ardern
Mike Molloy
5 The Runway in Wigram Skies
from its Sockburn School site. It
will be open from February 4 for
the new school term.
The first stage of Ararira
Springs Primary on Southfield
Drive in Lincoln has also been
completed and will open at the
start of the term.
About 110 pupils will
also start at Knights
Stream School on
February 5. Last week the
school had a site blessing,
which was attended by
Ministry of Education
Canterbury education
director Coralanne Child,
city councillor Anne
Galloway and Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board
member Ross McFarlane.
A karakia was also
performed by Justin
Tipa from Te Taumutu
Rūnanga.
Mr Molloy said the
final landscaping and signage for
the school is being completed.
A cycle track, designed by
Christchurch Adventure Park
operations manager John Paul
Jones, is also being built to give
the pupils somewhere to “let off
a bit of steam.”
•From page 1
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
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 Netball
Centre.
Willan.
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.
Norton describes Hornby as
a “community that thrives on
sport.”
In her career, 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.”

THE HORNBY patrol has
been involved with several
new projects over the last
year as we support the police
prevention first model.
The patrol is the ‘eyes and

community.
We continue with our core
business of reporting graffiti,
dumped rubbish, abandoned
supermarket trolleys, power
lights that are not working,
burst water mains and spend
time looking after schools and
mall car parks.
Our patrols are planned
around community
information and hot points
identified by police.
New projects have included
car park patrols at Hagley
Park and the surrounding
area during the busy summer
months; a weekly presence
for nurses at the change
of the afternoon shift;
providing volunteers at the
annual Kickstart trackside
motorcycle riders event and
the Justice and Emergency
Services Precinct opening; and
supporting a combined patrol

HEARING HELP IN HORNBY
How is your hearing?
In New Zealand, one in six people have some degree of hearing difficulty.
Over the age of 60, more than half the population are living with a
significant hearing reduction. This invisible condition can be incredibly
frustrating, as conversation on a one to one basis can be no problem, but
social situations become very uncomfortable indeed. Background noise
can make conversation almost impossible to follow causing some
sufferers to nod and smile and pretend to hear, remove themselves from
the conversation, or even avoid going to the social function completely.
Other early signs of hearing difficulty are a creeping up of the volume
control on the TV, frequently asking family and friends to repeat
themselves, or accusing people of mumbling when they speak. With
hearing loss recently being linked to the early onset of Dementia in studies
throughout the world, these early signs are not to be ignored!
Hear Again have extensive experience of helping people overcome their
hearing difficulties. From a simple check to see if your ears are blocked
with wax, to the provision and fine tuning of the very latest hearing devices
from the worlds leading hearing aid manufacturers, the friendly team are
here to help, even if you need to be seen on a weekend.
Neil Hardisty, NZAS Audiometrist, has been expertly overcoming hearing
difficulties for residents of Christchurch since 2009. Neil is frequently
praised for his limitless patience, wonderful caring nature and ability to
solve problems which other clinicians have deemed impossible. Neil is
never satisfied until you are! His expertise, coupled with Customer
Service Advisors Christine and Louise with their welcoming, friendly
nature, and the very latest technology make for a winning combination.
Hear Again offer FREE no obligation initial hearing assessments. If you,
or any of your loved ones have noticed any difficulties with your hearing,
this can be quickly and painlessly checked for you at The Hub, 418 Main
South Road, Hornby. If you already have hearing aids from any
manufacturer, we will give them a FREE clean and check to ensure they
are in tip top condition. Call 03 974 1658 to book your free check.
We look forward to delighting you with our service and help you, or your
loved ones make the most of your hearing and to rejoin the conversation.

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.

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.
B12 SUPPORtS:
• Memory & Brain Performance
• Helps protect brain
from shrinking
• Energy & Recovery
• Nerve Function
• Vegetarian’s Diet
• Helps protect blood
vessels from damage
• Sleep
• Cellular Health & Repair
• Good Health
• Cardiovascular Health
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.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.

projects.
This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19

academically minded, they do have artistic
talents and are very much into digital
technology.”
“This FREE six-month Trainme course,

way, giving them an intro
into various digital media.
This way, they can decide
which direction to pursue

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.”
