The 72-year-old from<br />

her love for birds to take her<br />

place nursing them back to<br />

health.<br />

Mrs Stevenson gave up her<br />

job as a nurse when she realised<br />

birds were her true passion.<br />

Since then, her home has been<br />

transformed into a bird rescue<br />

centre.<br />

However, Mrs Stevenson<br />

Teenage<br />

taggers<br />

caught<br />

by police<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

POLICE HAVE caught six<br />

youths they believe were involved<br />

in a tagging spree throughout<br />

Halswell.<br />

They want people who have<br />

had their properties or vehicles<br />

tagged to call police in a bid to<br />

gauge the extent of the vandalism<br />

committed.<br />

Police are dealing with six<br />

youths aged between 13-15<br />

involved with the vandalism that<br />

occurred on January 28.<br />

At least two cars and three<br />

fences were vandalised, along with<br />

a tool shed broken into at Aidanfield<br />

where an axe was stolen and<br />

found lodged into a lawn.<br />

It is suspected further tagging<br />

took place in the early hours of<br />

Tuesday morning.<br />

The vandalism took place in the<br />

Aidanfield/Westlake/Halswell<br />

area. Hornby police youth aid<br />

worker Senior Constable Bruce<br />

Ward said police are uncertain<br />

about to the extent of the damage<br />

done. But he said in the past police<br />

have found people do not report<br />

incidents of tagging when they<br />

should be.<br />

On page 14 today, we highlight the<br />

youngster’s victory in the Canterbury<br />

men’s first and second first year championship.<br />

Logan comes from good bowls stock. His father Jason is a<br />

handy player and those genes have also rubbed off onto Logan’s<br />

16-year-old brother Jordan.<br />

In the semi-final, Logan prevailed Jordan. No doubt those two<br />

will continue to face each other in the years to come.<br />

Logan was in the Halswell four which was runner up in the<br />

open section. It also included his father and Darryl Hawker,<br />

the current Canterbury coach, and part of the great Halswell<br />

premier rugby league team during the 1980s.<br />

Visiting teens likely troublemakers<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

VISITING teenagers may have<br />

been the troublemakers at the<br />

Sumner skate ramp over the<br />

holidays.<br />

Residents have posted on the<br />

Sumner Community Facebook<br />

group, angry at some of the<br />

behaviour at the Nayland St<br />

skate ramp.<br />

One woman said she was<br />

abused by a group of teenagers<br />

believed to be about 14, before<br />

they threatened to run the<br />

woman and her three-year-old<br />

son over<br />

with their<br />

skateboards.<br />

Another<br />

woman said<br />

she had objects<br />

thrown at<br />

her car on a<br />

few occasions<br />

when driving<br />

Franco Lovrich<br />

her children<br />

home at night.<br />

Both women did not wish to<br />

speak to <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong>.<br />

Red Snapper fish ’n’ chip<br />

shop owner Adam Jenkins was<br />

convinced the teenagers causing<br />

trouble were visitors.<br />

“There was a bunch of riff-raff<br />

out here that day, they came in<br />

here and got lunch, not kids I<br />

have seen before.”<br />

ISSUES: Visiting teenagers are suspected to be behind the incidents at the Sumner skate<br />

ramp.<br />

Mr Jenkins said the teenagers<br />

were smoking, drinking and<br />

fighting among themselves<br />

throughout the day.<br />

There have also been issues<br />

with skateboarders causing<br />

problems and littering at the<br />

Sumner Centre, across the road<br />

from the ramp. One group had<br />

been told to leave the centre.<br />

Sergeant Franco Lovrich said<br />

police were not aware of the<br />

incidents.<br />

“The issue with Facebook is<br />

that we don’t monitor social<br />

media sites, it is imperative<br />

people report directly to us.<br />

That way we can get an accurate<br />

judgement of offences as they<br />

occur and from there we can<br />

prioritise resources.”<br />

Why Riccarton Rd is being upgraded<br />

The city council answers<br />

some of the most common<br />

questions about why it is<br />

upgrading Riccarton Rd<br />

Major roadworks to begin this<br />

month will involve upgrading<br />

damaged underground pipes<br />

and rebuilding the road to<br />

accommodate bus priority<br />

measures. The nearly two-year<br />

project is not expected to be<br />

completed until December 2020.<br />

Why does this work have to<br />

be done now?<br />

The sewer pipes that run underneath<br />

Riccarton Rd are nearly<br />

100 years old. They have reached<br />

the end of their lifespan and<br />

need replacing. If the city council<br />

delays replacing them, there is a<br />

risk they could fail, resulting in<br />

major disruption and roadworks.<br />

The road surface is also in poor<br />

condition, with damage evident<br />

in many areas. At the same time<br />

as resurfacing, bus priority will<br />

be added measures so that buses<br />

can travel more easily along Riccarton<br />

Rd, which will cut travel<br />

times along this busy route.<br />

Why is it going to take almost<br />

two years?<br />

If the city council is only<br />

resurfacing the road it could<br />

complete the upgrade in a much<br />

shorter time frame. It is because<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

TENDERS WILL are being<br />

called to repair the earthquakedamaged<br />

Scarborough Clock<br />

Tower.<br />

The city council wants to<br />

appoint one contractor to<br />

undertake the repairs of the<br />

Scarborough and New Brighton<br />

clock towers.<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge was confident<br />

its repair strategy would save<br />

ratepayers’ money by having one<br />

contractor handle both towers.<br />

“We believe the cost for<br />

keeping the scaffold up is minor,<br />

considering the cost efficiencies<br />

TURMOIL: The city council has answered some of the most common questions on why<br />

Riccarton Rd needs to be upgraded.<br />

it needs to also replace the water<br />

and sewer pipes that run beneath<br />

the road that this project is likely<br />

to take until December 2020 to<br />

complete.<br />

What’s the most time-consuming<br />

aspect of the work?<br />

The sewer pipe is located 4m<br />

below the road so a very deep<br />

trench has to be dug. The trench<br />

sides need to be supported so it is<br />

a time-consuming process. Work<br />

in packaging both projects<br />

together. The tenderers also<br />

require the scaffold to be up to<br />

fully inspect the structure and<br />

damage so that they can price<br />

their tender.” Repairs are yet to<br />

start in spite of the scaffolding<br />

being in place since <strong>February</strong><br />

last year. The scaffolding is also<br />

costing ratepayers $1500 per<br />

month.<br />

Once a contractor has been<br />

secured, repairs are expected to<br />

take six months to complete.<br />

Sumner resident of 40 years<br />

Sam Bradley was frustrated by<br />

the lack of progress that has been<br />

made on the tower.<br />

“I’m the manager for a building<br />

on the trench can only proceed<br />

about 1m a day. Contractors are<br />

starting at three different work<br />

sites to speed up the process.<br />

Can’t you speed-up the<br />

work by working at night and<br />

weekends?<br />

Contractors will be working<br />

nights and weekends when<br />

required, but during the sewer<br />

pipework, it is dangerous to work<br />

at night because good lighting<br />

Clock tower tenders sought<br />

company and if we ran our<br />

company like that we wouldn’t<br />

have one to run anymore.”<br />

Mr Bradley was also<br />

disappointed to see the<br />

scaffolding being used by vandals<br />

to deface the clock tower.<br />

TICKING: The scaffolding<br />

around the Scarborough<br />

Clock Tower is costing<br />

ratepayers $1500 a month but<br />

work to repair the tower has<br />

still not started.<br />

is needed. There are also motels<br />

and a rest home along the route<br />

and night work would be very<br />

disruptive for them so it is a case<br />

of balancing the needs of the<br />

whole community.<br />

Why are you putting a treelined<br />

median strip down the<br />

middle?<br />

In 2015, the city council asked<br />

the community for views on two<br />

upgrade options – one with a<br />

tree-lined median and one without.<br />

The option with trees along<br />

a central median was preferred.<br />

This option was subsequently<br />

recommended by the Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board to the city council’s<br />

infrastructure, transport and<br />

environment committee, which<br />

approved the scheme in August<br />

2015. The tree-lined median<br />

uses space made available by the<br />

removal of car parks. There is<br />

still one lane of traffic in each direction,<br />

as there is now. The treelined<br />

median should help to slow<br />

traffic speeds and make the area<br />

safer for pedestrians, cyclists and<br />

drivers. The trees, along with<br />

other streetscape enhancements,<br />

such as new furniture, paving<br />

and landscaping, will also make<br />

this part of central Riccarton<br />

more attractive and a destination<br />

rather than solely a transport<br />

corridor.<br />

Do other parts of Riccarton<br />

Rd need upgrading?<br />

The stretch of Riccarton<br />

Rd between Deans Ave and<br />

Harakeke St has already been<br />

upgraded. No other work of<br />

this scale is planned but some<br />

improvements to intersections<br />

and other facilities, such as for<br />

cycling, are scheduled to occur<br />

over the next 10 years.<br />

Removal<br />

of trees<br />

upsets<br />

campers<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

ABOUT 200 trees have<br />

been removed at Okains Bay<br />

camping ground.<br />

The city council removed<br />

trees from the area as part of<br />

their Reserve Landscape Plan<br />

last June.<br />

Additional trees on the<br />

western side of the camping<br />

ground also had to be removed ​<br />

due to damage caused by salt<br />

water inundation in last year’s<br />

king tides.<br />

But the felling of the pine,<br />

gum and macrocarpa trees<br />

has left some campers<br />

“heartbroken”.<br />

One camper who had been<br />

going to the camping ground<br />

for more than 40 years said they<br />

were “heartbroken” when they<br />

returned to the area over the<br />

holidays.<br />

“It’s taken away a lot of<br />

natural shelter, it looks terrible,<br />

they have left a lot of the trees<br />

just lying around. They have left<br />

some of the stumps of up to 1m<br />

just sticking out of the ground<br />

in some places.”<br />

The camper said the removal<br />

of the trees had left campers<br />

exposed to the sun and wind.<br />

“Trees that have been killed<br />

by the seawater in high tide<br />

haven’t been removed, yet all of<br />

these other ones have.”<br />

Head of recreation, sports<br />

and events Nigel Cox said<br />

they were working to replace<br />

some of the trees which had<br />

been felled.<br />

“A community planting<br />

day was held in September. A<br />

large number of native trees<br />

were planted into newlyestablished<br />

raised gardens.<br />

More planting in line with the<br />

Reserve Landscape Plan will be<br />

completed this coming year.”<br />

Has your property been tagged?<br />

Bird nurse ready to spread her wings<br />

•From page 1<br />

“I’m getting older and each<br />

year’s getting harder. It’s quite<br />

physical work,” Mrs Stevenson<br />

said.<br />

She said for all of the birds she<br />

had managed to save, many died<br />

in her care and it had made her<br />

job even harder.<br />

Her husband supported the<br />

decision to seek someone to take<br />

over her role.<br />

“He hates coming home and<br />

seeing me so tired, so I’ve got to<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

think of him too.”<br />

Mrs Stevenson estimated she<br />

had cared for about 200 birds last<br />

year. All of her work had been<br />

voluntary, with some financial<br />

support coming from donations.<br />

Mrs Stevenson received $100<br />

in petrol vouchers a year from<br />

the Department of Conservation,<br />

and dog and cat biscuits to mash<br />

up and feed to the birds from the<br />

SPCA and Dogwatch.<br />

She said cats were the main<br />

cause of injuries to birds. But<br />

•From page 1<br />

“Half a dozen kids can tag a<br />

lot of places so we want to be on<br />

top of this really quickly,” Senior<br />

Constable Ward said.<br />

Several youths had gone to<br />

a house in Halswell<br />

on Sunday night and<br />

unbeknownst to the<br />

parent they snuck out<br />

in the night, picked up<br />

more youths, consumed<br />

alcohol and spraypainted<br />

properties, he<br />

said. The tagging was<br />

brought to the police’s<br />

attention by one of the<br />

parents who had seen one of the<br />

boys covered in spray paint.<br />

“The parents are horrified,”<br />

Senior Constable Ward said.<br />

Residents on Wigram Rd, near<br />

Westlake Park were one of the<br />

unfortunate targets on a Monday<br />

morning.<br />

A resident, who did not wish<br />

recently the number of injuries<br />

caused by vehicles had increased.<br />

The number of native wood<br />

pigeons brought to her with<br />

injuries was also increasing. The<br />

a note left on the doorstep<br />

of several dog owners in<br />

Lyttelton threatening to call<br />

dog control<br />

Kaye Le Fleur – What’s<br />

wrong with that note? I have had<br />

a few dogs and if I received a note<br />

like that I would<br />

take responsibility<br />

and make sure my<br />

dog was not left<br />

alone and getting<br />

bored, I would<br />

make sure the dog<br />

would not be able to<br />

wander, and be very<br />

happy that someone<br />

had taken the time<br />

to notify me before notifying the<br />

authorities. Nothing worse than<br />

repeated barking dogs, dog poo<br />

and wandering dogs. Just be a<br />

responsible owner, simple.<br />

Philip Baker – If the dog is<br />

out roaming then fair enough.<br />

Jade Mulcahy – Brilliant<br />

idea. Most dog owners think<br />

their dog is lovely and think<br />

everyone else does too – wrong.<br />

Good thing to do to avoid<br />

unnecessary confrontation, at<br />

least they didn’t just ring dog<br />

control first.<br />

Ashleigh Jarden – Keep<br />

your dogs on your property and<br />

you won’t have an issue.<br />

Freedom campers at reserve frustrate residents<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

Cassey Millward – I<br />

understand the roaming, as<br />

that is a safety issue and no way<br />

should dogs be taking themselves<br />

on little adventures. But most<br />

dogs bark a few times throughout<br />

the day. I have two dogs and<br />

they bark at each other when<br />

they are playing or if someone<br />

arrives. I have neighbours either<br />

side who also have<br />

dogs that bark. None<br />

persistently, but a few<br />

times throughout<br />

the day you will<br />

hear barking for<br />

short periods of<br />

time. People mow<br />

lawns and cut hedges<br />

through the day. You<br />

can’t expect silence<br />

throughout the day, it’s totally<br />

unreasonable. I am very grateful<br />

for the neighbours I have, as<br />

some people sound like a total<br />

nightmare.<br />

Cathryn Rose Creamer –<br />

Fair enough if a dog is roaming,<br />

but someone trying to nap in<br />

the afternoon and dogs barking<br />

– get ear plugs. Don’t want to<br />

live near dogs? Then move into<br />

the country where your closest<br />

neighbours are 500m away.<br />

James Boswell – All of<br />

the things in the letter apply to<br />

almost every cat owner I know<br />

too. I’m not condoning the<br />

behaviour of the owner of this<br />

DIAMOND Harbour residents<br />

are calling for tighter freedom<br />

camping restrictions at Stoddart<br />

Point Reserve.<br />

Residents have been frustrated<br />

by freedom campers throwing<br />

their rubbish on the ground only<br />

a few metres away from empty<br />

bins.<br />

Congestion at the reserve means<br />

it is also difficult to find a car park<br />

in the morning before commuters<br />

catch the ferry to work. Freedom<br />

campers are currently restricted<br />

to staying for up to two nights in<br />

any 30-day period in certified selfcontained<br />

vehicles.<br />

However, Diamond Harbour<br />

Community Association<br />

chairman Richard Suggate said<br />

the current restrictions were not<br />

enough.<br />

“That area is not big enough to<br />

cope with those sort of numbers.<br />

A few years ago it wasn’t a<br />

problem but now the numbers<br />

are too high.”<br />

Diamond Harbour resident<br />

Cheryl Glen said she had grown<br />

more and more frustrated after<br />

continuing to see rubbish left on<br />

the reserve by freedom campers.<br />

“There were times where the<br />

bins would be empty and there<br />

cat owners allowed to let their<br />

cats roam the neighbourhood,<br />

and risk attacking pet birds,<br />

chasing and intimidating other<br />

cats and defecating on other<br />

people’s properties?<br />

Tina Harding – Pretty<br />

simple, be aware of your dogs –<br />

not every one is approachable.<br />

Sian Vermeer – No one<br />

would still be rubbish left on the<br />

ground.”<br />

Ms Glen said the number of<br />

freedom campers at the reserve<br />

often made it impossible for her<br />

to find a park before catching the<br />

ferry to work.<br />

“Most mornings I can’t find a<br />

park, where are we meant to park<br />

to go to catch the ferry and go to<br />

work?”<br />

City council head of strategic<br />

policy Emma Davis said the<br />

Freedom Camping Bylaw was<br />

due for a full five-year review in<br />

2020 and the city council was<br />

unlikely to make any changes<br />

before that.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

destroyed. Feels like a courtesy<br />

more than anything leaving a<br />

note.<br />

Anna Barclay – Well to be<br />

fair, keep your dog on your own<br />

property is a pretty reasonable<br />

request, considering the dog’s<br />

own safety and the safety of<br />

others.<br />

Lou Skinner – I’ve had this<br />

problem before and believe me<br />

you don’t always want to have<br />

a nice “chat” to the owners. If<br />

you have animals take care of<br />

them. Roaming dogs aren’t just a<br />

nuisance, they are also at risk of<br />

getting hurt. I think the note is a<br />

great idea.<br />

Philip Baker – My dog<br />

has a fenced area he’s in for when<br />

I’m out. If he gets out of that area<br />

he’s still fenced in by boundary<br />

fences.<br />

Evelyn Williamson – I can<br />

never understand people who let<br />

their dog wander. I’d be worried it<br />

would get run over or cause an accident.<br />

If you love your dog you’ll<br />

keep it safe on your property.<br />

Dean Pover – If the dog constantly<br />

roams, call the pound.<br />

Heather Bevan – Dogs<br />

can be under control but still<br />

bark and it is for a reason. Not<br />

Photography exhibition<br />

showcases the<br />

‘many faces’ of Linwood<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

ALASDAIR WRIGHT is<br />

combining his 55-year love affair<br />

with cameras and photography<br />

with his love for the area he<br />

lives in.<br />

The Linwood<br />

resident is one of 12<br />

photographers with<br />

work on display at an<br />

exhibition focusing on<br />

the community and its<br />

diversity.<br />

The Many Faces of the<br />

Inner City East/Linwood<br />

exhibition was set to<br />

open yesterday at the<br />

Linwood Community<br />

Arts Centre and Eastside Gallery.<br />

Wright, 59, said he has been<br />

living in Linwood for seven years<br />

and has seen it go through huge<br />

changes since the earthquakes.<br />

He said the aim of his<br />

photographs is to document<br />

what Linwood was like before the<br />

changes occurred and the past is<br />

forgotten.<br />

“It’s important to record things<br />

because when you think I’ll<br />

take that photo now and don’t<br />

have a camera and go back a few<br />

days or years later, the case may<br />

Alasdair Wright<br />

be that they’re gone.” Wright<br />

said Linwood’s population<br />

and landscape has changed.<br />

He said showcasing this in the<br />

photographs was key.<br />

“It’s important to see the<br />

changing face of Linwood because<br />

we’ve got a wide gamut of<br />

society around here.”<br />

“You can travel the<br />

world without even<br />

having to leave home.”<br />

Linwood Community<br />

Arts Centre and Eastside<br />

Gallery exhibition coordinator<br />

Shirley Scarlett<br />

said the display was<br />

about Linwood residents<br />

like Wright “defining<br />

the neighbourhood on their own<br />

terms.”<br />

Ms Scarlett said the exhibition<br />

was also about breaking down the<br />

stereotypes that could sometimes<br />

have a negative effect on how<br />

others viewed Linwood.<br />

“The exhibition focuses on<br />

celebrating and delving deeper<br />

into a community that doesn’t<br />

always get the best coverage.”<br />

It was about “capturing the<br />

good and the beautiful alongside<br />

the challenges and concerns” of<br />

the community, she said<br />

THE SEASIDE Toy Library<br />

hopes an open day will make it<br />

a haven for toy lovers and their<br />

families.<br />

The library, which operates<br />

out of St Luke’s Church in South<br />

New Brighton, will host the<br />

event on March 9 from 9.30amnoon.<br />

It aims to promote the library<br />

to people in the area and attract<br />

new members.<br />

Seaside Toy Library chairman<br />

Andy Dimond said it was one<br />

of many businesses in the east<br />

that had a hard time after the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

“The library did struggle<br />

financially and struggled with<br />

attracting membership and<br />

volunteers.”<br />

Since then, Mr Dimond said<br />

the toy library had employed a<br />

part-time librarian and this had<br />

helped it gain some stability.<br />

However, he said word needed<br />

to get out if the library should be<br />

used to its full potential.<br />

“There are a lot of young<br />

families in the area who don’t<br />

know about the toy library,<br />

how much it costs and when<br />

we operate, so this is a good<br />

opportunity to promote<br />

the library and also build<br />

relationships in the local area,”<br />

he said.<br />

TEENAGER Logan Dunn has<br />

shown he has a bright future in<br />

bowls.<br />

The 15-year-old Halswell<br />

player defeated Jonathan<br />

Truesdale, of Cust, 21-10 to win<br />

the Bowls Canterbury men’s first<br />

and second year centre title.<br />

Logan comes from a talented<br />

bowls family. In the semi-final,<br />

he defeated his 16-year-old<br />

brother, Jordan, 21-12.<br />

“He usually beats me when<br />

we’re practicing but I got on top<br />

of him that day,” said Logan.<br />

He also teamed up with<br />

his father, Jason Dunn, in<br />

the Halswell fours team and<br />

made the final before losing to<br />

Rangiora 4-20.<br />

“As soon as we step on the<br />

green, he’s just another player.<br />

He accepts that and he wouldn’t<br />

want it any other way either,”<br />

said Jason.<br />

Logan completed a trio of<br />

final appearances by making<br />

his way to the under-20 singles<br />

final which was taken out by<br />

Rangiora’s Rebecca Jelfs 21-19 in<br />

a tight match.<br />

The Bowls Canterbury centre<br />

championships began with<br />

round-robin play in November<br />

before the finals weekend at<br />

Parklands from January 26-27.<br />

Although the family represent<br />

Halswell, they travel to the club<br />

for inter-club each Saturday from<br />

their home in Hawarden.<br />

FAMILY TIES: As well as winning the Bowls Canterbury first and second year centre title,<br />

Logan Dunn (right) finished second in the men’s fours with Darryl Hawker (left), his father Jason<br />

Dunn and Paul Matheson.<br />

“That’s just given the kids<br />

the best opportunity to fulfil<br />

what they want to in the game.<br />

There’s not enough up here in<br />

our area. Now they’ve got good,<br />

hard competitive bowlers to go<br />

against and get their game to the<br />

next level,” said Jason, who is a<br />

well know greyhound trainer. He<br />

grew up in Sydney and pursued<br />

bowls into his mid-20s. He<br />

played representative bowls for<br />

New South Wales but gave the<br />

sport away when he moved to<br />

Christchurch in 2007.<br />

Logan didn’t know about<br />

bowls until being introduced to<br />

it by his father when he took him<br />

to the green two years ago.<br />

“It just clicked and I’ve liked<br />

it from day dot,” said Logan. “I<br />

played rugby for a year but I’m<br />

too small for that.”<br />

Canterbury men’s coach<br />

Darryl Hawker – who played in a<br />

Halswell fours team with Logan<br />

– believes the 15-year-old could<br />

SPORTS<br />

go a long way in bowls.<br />

“I think he could have a<br />

big future in the game, his<br />

commitment to improving as<br />

a bowler is impressive,” said<br />

Hawker.<br />

Practicing three to four times<br />

a week, Logan dreams of playing<br />

the sport professionally one day.<br />

“I want to be world champion,”<br />

he said.<br />

If his progression in the sport<br />

continues, the Sydney-born<br />

bowler could find himself<br />

having to make a choice between<br />

representing New Zealand or<br />

Australia one day.<br />

The family’s current rugby<br />

allegiances are split, with the<br />

boys backing the Wallabies and<br />

the girls cheering on the All<br />

Blacks.<br />

As for Logan’s future bowling<br />

allegiances: “It all depends who<br />

gives me the offer,” he said.<br />

Other Halswell players to<br />

make finals were Phil Austin,<br />

who was defeated by Elmwood<br />

Park’s Bruce Humphreys 15-21<br />

in the men’s under-eight singles<br />

final, while Rex Carpinter, John<br />

Connolly and John Topham were<br />

also beaten finalists in the over<br />

60s triples. The title was won by<br />

Elmwood Park 18-4.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

Centuries old folk remedy supports<br />

good health!<br />

A fermented liquid health<br />

tonic offers an array of<br />

powerful health benefits. It is<br />

none other than the popular<br />

apple cider vinegar or ACV.<br />

Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father<br />

of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its<br />

curative properties.<br />

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK<br />

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he<br />

found that Vermonters who regularly consumed<br />

ACV and Honey had excellent health with<br />

many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the<br />

farm even when well into their eighties. He also<br />

noted the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />

remarkable with many patients reporting almost<br />

total relief after taking a course of the<br />

mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />

the acid and potassium in cider<br />

vinegar counteracted calcium<br />

deposits and helped the body<br />

control calcium use. He also noted<br />

that Vermonters who consumed<br />

ACV and H around meal time<br />

had excellent blood pressure and<br />

circulation. The reason he found<br />

was that protein foods thickened<br />

the blood and vinegar thinned it.<br />

As the blood thickens it cannot<br />

pass as easily and quickly through<br />

the blood vessels and capillaries. This<br />

poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />

health by limiting nutrients to the cells<br />

as well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />

To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />

increases blood pressure but this puts more stress<br />

on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having<br />

ACV and H with meals will help prevent protein<br />

raising the blood pressure. It also contributes<br />

to a feeling of greater well-being because the<br />

thinner blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular<br />

consumption of CV and H to be an excellent<br />

health tonic with numerous Health attributes.<br />

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the<br />

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily<br />

accepted by the bodyGood health starts with good<br />

digestion and assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken<br />

before food will stimulate and promote healthy<br />

digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients for<br />

good health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />

helps prevent disease by neutralising any toxic<br />

substances that enter the body.<br />

It is important to note not all ACV is produced<br />

in the traditional way and results are likely to<br />

prove disappointing with these other vinegars.<br />

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with 20%<br />

Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from<br />

Organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is<br />

double strength so you can use less.<br />

Device to prevent<br />

snoring<br />

Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />

dry and raw throats.<br />

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />

for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />

provided.<br />

Denise Lim has been involved with<br />

Snores for 22 years and has had a 98%<br />

success rate with<br />

people using the<br />

appliance. Snoring<br />

can be a health<br />

hazard, causing<br />

sleep apnoea, where<br />

the person actually<br />

stops breathing for<br />

short periods.<br />

It can cause<br />

short-term memory<br />

loss, tiredness and<br />

contribute to high<br />

blood pressure.<br />

The Snorex<br />

device does not feel<br />

restrictive, is noninvasive<br />

and carries<br />

a money-back<br />

guarantee.<br />

Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />

and throat specialists, however, anyone can<br />

phone for an appointment.<br />

Collagen<br />

The Body’s Youth Protein<br />

Collagen is the primary protein in the<br />

body. It is a major component of skin,<br />

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments,<br />

joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes,<br />

and blood vessels.<br />

In fact collagen is the primary<br />

structural component for all tissue<br />

in the body, providing the strength<br />

and resilience associated with youth,<br />

beauty and wellness. The body’s natural<br />

collagen production decreases with<br />

age resulting in many signs of aging,<br />

such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament<br />

and tendon injuries and aching joints.<br />

Collagen supplementation is one of<br />

the most fundamental things a person<br />

can do to prevent premature aging and<br />

promote youthful vitality.<br />

NEOCELL are the industry leaders<br />

in research on collagen supplementation.<br />

Through advanced research they have<br />

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and<br />

effectively reduce its molecular weight this<br />

improving the absorption of collagen into<br />

the blood stream by over 90%.<br />

A clinical study on NEOCELL<br />

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to<br />

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,<br />

with 92% of test subjects experiencing<br />

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking<br />

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing<br />

visible improvements within two weeks.<br />

Collagen supplementation provides<br />

the nutrients necessary to support the<br />

body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce<br />

fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin<br />

elasticity, support building of strong bones<br />

and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair,<br />

and is vital for muscle growth, It also<br />

assists weight loss by helping burn fat<br />

for energy, promotes wound healing by<br />

supporting the regeneration of healthy<br />

tissue as well as help support overall<br />

health.<br />
