• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

EVER SINCE she was a 

child, there is nothing else 

Laurel Gregory has wanted 

to do other than perform on 

stage. 

But it has been a “rocky” 

road for the Richmond 

22-year-old, who has been 

battling an auto-immune 

disease for about 14 years, 

which has led to her being 

diagnosed with arthritis. 

Yet instead of feeling 

sorry for herself, she has 

refused to let anything 

stop her from chasing 

her dream of becoming a 

professional musical theatre 

performer. 

Gregory is currently 

training in New York City 

at the Broadway Dance 

Center as part of a threemonth 

programme. 

Founded in 1984, the dance 

school is known as one of the 

first drop-in studios to be 

established in the world and 

has more than 80 teachers 

and choreographers taking 

classes. 

As part of her training, 

Gregory is attending 12 

classes a week, including 

ballet, bodyArt and 

contemporary dance. She 

said she chose to attend the 

school after needing a “fresh 

perspective” on dancing.

Plan to 

remove 

cycle lane 

worries 

principals 

• By Jess Gibson 

PRINCIPALS ARE worried a 

plan to remove a cycle lane and 

narrow the footpath outside 

Burnside High and Christ the 

King schools will impact on 

students’ safety. 

The city council wants to 

change the intersection on 

the corner of Greers Rd and 

Memorial Ave to create a shared 

left turn for cyclists, vehicles and 

the Orbiter bus. 

The changes would ease 

congestion at the intersection, 

which is often gridlocked at 

peak times, causing delays to the 

Orbiter. 

However, Burnside High 

School principal Phil Holstein 

said while he recognises the area 

is congested, he is concerned the 

proposed change would pose a 

risk to the safety of students. 

“I think their priority is the 

Orbiter bus rather than the 

students and the people using the 

cycle lanes,” said Mr Holstein. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board will 

decide whether the changes will go 

ahead at its meeting on March 18.

from the editor’s desk 

IT’S GREAT to see people beating the 

odds. 

On page 1 today, we have one such 

example. Laurel Gregory has been battling 

an auto-immune disease for more than 

a decade, which has led to her being 

diagnosed with arthritis. 

The 22-year-old’s passion is dancing, so you would think her 

condition would be a major hurdle to that career path. 

But not for Laurel. She is currently in New York, training at the 

Broadway Dance Center as part of a three-month programme. 

In 2015, she was accepted into the National Academy of 

Singing and Dramatic Art here in Christchurch. 

Medication is helping Laurel live her dream. But I suspect 

there’s an amazing amount of determination and dedication, 

too.

Neighbourhood hub finally opens 


AFTER EIGHT months of 

delays and a $70,000 cost 

blowout, the community hub on 

Main North Rd is finally ready. 

The old Redwood Plunket 

rooms have been restored and 

repaired after they suffered 

damage in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The restored Neighbourhood 

Links building was initially set 

to cost $30,000 but ended up 

coming in at $100,000. 

It was scheduled to be 

completed in June but was 

delayed after the discovery of 

black mould and asbestos. 

The city council made the 

decision to grant an additional 

$45,000 to the project in 2017, 

and this was increased again 

by $25,000 after the mould and 

asbestos discovery in August. 

On Wednesday the building 

was finally opened, with 

residents, community workers 

and Papanui-Innes Community 

Board members attending 

a blessing and cake-cutting 

ceremony. 

The refurbished centre will 

provide a base for community 

engagement in Northcote and 

Redwood. 

The Neighbourhood Links 

project was started in 2014 

by Joss Buttriss to give the 

community a sense of identity. 

It will mainly be overseen 

by community development 

organisation, Te Ora Hou, with 

involvement from other groups, 

including Northcote School. 

Te Ora Hou has employed 

Angie Durey and Charlotte 

Clark, who have offices in 

the building, to manage 

Neighbourhood Links. 

Mrs Durey and Ms Clark 

have been volunteering for 

Neighbourhood Links since 

2017. 

“I genuinely love helping 

people and I am so thankful that 

I have been given this chance,” 

said Ms Clark. 

Mrs Durey is also studying

What issues are affecting people in 

A new report identifies 

several issues which 

are having a negative 

impact on the wellbeing 

of people in 

Papanui and Harewood. 

Jess Gibson talks to its 

authors 

PAPANUI AND Harewood 

residents are concerned about 

loneliness and isolation in their 

communities. 

The Papanui Community 

Voices report identified strengths 

and challenges within the 

suburbs based on a survey of 122 

residents last year. 

The participants were asked 

to identify key areas of concern 

from a list of eight options, with 

58 per cent agreeing loneliness 

and isolation were a problem. 

When asked to identify 

strengths by agreeing or 

disagreeing with a range of 

statements, 31 per cent of those 

surveyed disagreed that people 

were positively connected. 

The survey and report were 

created by Damian Ardell, a 

community worker from the 

Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust, 

and Dominic Chilvers from the 

Bethlehem Tertiary Institute, 

who was working for the

said Mr Ardell.

about to combat isolation,” said 

Mr Ardell. 

Dr Chilvers said a primary way 

to minimise social isolation is to 

create opportunities for people 

in a neighbourhood to connect 

and build relationships. 

“Mentoring, language classes, 

dance classes, youth groups, or 

cooking classes are all examples 

of services that can also create 

an opportunity for building 

social connectedness,” said Dr 

Chilvers. 

With the help of other 

community groups, the Papanui 

Baptist Freedom Trust will host 

the Papanui Neighbourhood Fair 

on March 17. 

Mr Ardell said he hopes the 

all-ages fair will bring people 

together to meet and learn 

about what is going on in the 

community. 

As well as information about 

activities, programmes and 

groups that people can get 

involved in, the fair will have 

live music, food, clowns and 

games. Some of the groups 

in Papanui and Harewood 

that people can join include 

friendship lunches, card game 

clubs and a men’s exercise group. 

“We run these things to give 

people a chance to interact and 

to get to know other people 

and to learn about further 

opportunities where they can 

connect with people,” said Mr 

Ardell. 

Mr Ardell and Dr Chilvers 

worked on Papanui Community 

Voices for more than a year and 

consulted with organisations and 

professionals to make sure they 

were asking the right questions.

As part of the survey, 

participants were asked to 

give their thoughts about 

their neighbourhood. Here 

are some of the answers: 

“Too many people moving 

in and out all the time. Better 

controls on rentals forcing 

landlords to keep rents 

low and more importantly 

stable for longer periods of 

time will encourage people 

to stay longer and invest 

in and participate in the 

neighbourhood they live 

in. Most people’s incomes 

don’t increase every year 

yet there is a constant threat 

of increased rent costs that 

people have to worry about.”

Other key areas of concern 

identified in the survey include 

people living with health and 

disability issues at 49 per cent, 

and youth and children not being 

engaged in positive activities at 

46 per cent. 

Mr Ardell said he and Dr

Beautiful Beasts 

Lisa Grennell 

9 March - 3 April 2019 

And then we fell in love with them... 

The animals painted in this exhibition are from our 

farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main 

subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact 

that she is my favourite). From my experience as 

a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early 

influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding 

the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective. 

Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost 

hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the 

viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human 

impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our 

thoughts… 

‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the 

idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ - 

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/ 

Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every 

creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence 

untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some 

pure white images of children, along with animals, and their 

imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of 

children and their innate connection with nature. 

We’d like your feedback

Olivia first to play in refurbished town hall 

$20k conference to bring north-west organisations together 


A $20,000 conference on 

Thursday aims to help small 

organisations become stronger in 

the north-west. 

More than 80 people will attend 

the very first Hapori conference 

from 8am to 4.45pm at the 

McFaddens Centre in St Albans. 

The North West Collective has 

organised Hapori to help people 

in leadership positions in small, 

not-for-profit organisations 

through a range of workshops 

and guest speakers. 

The collective is made 

up of nine organisations 

from different communities, 

which each aim to 

provide services and 

programmes in the area. 

Organisations in the 

collective include the 

Belfast Community Network, 

Bishopdale Community 

Trust, Community Focus Trust, 

Neighbourhood Trust, Northgate 

Lynda 

Goodrick 


OLIVIA EADY was five when 

she first went to the town hall to 

see the Wiggles perform live. 

It was not long before the 

hall was closed due to severe 

damage in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

Now the 13-year-old was the 

first person to take to the town 

hall stage before it reopened, 

performing a song which she 

wrote and composed herself. 

In her final year at Selwyn 

House, Olivia wrote Worth 

about humanity’s responsibility 

to take care of the planet. 

After sending her song into 

a radio station, Olivia was 

chosen to perform as part of 

a competition celebrating the 

reopening of the hall, which 

cost more than $150 million to 

rebuild. 

Olivia wrote the song for her 

school’s Passion Project – a 

year-long challenge in which 

students use their passions to 

help solve the world’s problems, 

using the United Nations 

sustainable development goals 

as their framework. 

Olivia wrote Worth about 

goal No 15 called life on land, 

which aims to conserve and 

restore ecosystems, such as 

forests, wetlands, drylands and 

mountains, by 2020. 

“I love nature and always 

have,” said Olivia. 

While only her mum, dad 

and the film crew got to see 

Olivia perform in person, the 

Community Trust and 

the Papanui Baptist Freedom 

Trust, among others. 

The Rata Foundation 

has helped the collective 

under a small grants programme 

for grassroots 

initiatives. 

“We identified how 

infrequently small to 

medium size organisations 

actually get time to meet 

and learn from each other,” said 

Belfast Community Network 

PERFORMER: Olivia Eady performed her song Worth at 

the town hall, three days before the restored building was 

opened to the public. 

song was broadcast on The Hits 

radio station and Facebook page 

on February 20. The hall was 

officially opened on February 

23. 

Her mum Lisa Eady said it 

was an honour to watch Olivia 

perform live at the new hall. 

She said Olivia has always 

been a singer and has kept 

growing as a performer since 

she picked up a guitar at age 

nine. 

Since then, she has been 

busking around the streets of 

Christchurch in an effort to one 

day make it on the international 

manager Lynda Goodrick. 

“A small conference with topics 

identified from the community 

in a survey would be a great opportunity 

to support other local

Papanui’s suffragettes 

signed ‘monster petition’ 

Papanui Heritage Group 

chairman Murray Williams 

writes about the suffragette 

movement in Papanui 

IN MID-1893, New Zealand 

suffragists launched a campaign 

for a ‘monster petition,’ which 

demanded that adult women 

(those aged 21 or over) should 

be granted the right to vote in 

Parliamentary elections. 

Eventually, 31,872 women 

signed the main and subsidiary 

petitions (men were not invited 

to do so), and of these, 60 gave 

Papanui as their address. 

Papanui Heritage Group 

researcher Christine Grant has 

located information on 27 of 

them and, although this is a 

small sample, it does present 

some interesting detail about the 

local women who helped prompt 

Parliament to take the step that 

ensured New Zealand would 

become the first country in the 

world to carry out this reform. 

In order to be classified as a Papanui 

signatory, Papanui had to 

be part of the address provided. 

Thus the two women who 

gave only their street (Mays Rd), 

without adding a suburb, could 

well have been Papanui residents 

if they lived on the northern side 

of that street, although the other 

side of Mays Rd was technically 

part of St Albans borough. 

Another signatory gave her 

address as ‘Mary’s’ Rd, although 

subsequent evidence from the 

electoral roll indicates that she 

also lived in Mays Rd. 

In another case, the address 

Webb St, Papanui, was given, although 

at the time this street was 

in the borough of St Albans and 

RIGHT TO VOTE: Of the 

thousands of New Zealand 

suffragists who signed 

petitions, 60 gave a Papanui 

address. 

should not have been included in 

the figures for Papanui. 

Some unorthodox spelling adds 

interest, for example ‘Pappanui’ 

and ‘Papnui’ 

It has been possible to find the 

birthplaces of 18 of these Papanui 

women. 

Fourteen (78 per cent) were 

born in England or Scotland and 

only three in New Zealand, while 

one came from Germany. 

The ages of the women when 

they signed the petition ranged 

from 23-75 and the average age 

was 48. 

The marital status of 27 of the 

Papanui women at the time the 

petition was signed has also been 

traced. 

Nineteen were married, five 

were ‘spinsters’, while three were 

widows. 

The majority of married 

women would have described 

themselves as being engaged in 

domestic duties, but those who 

were involved in professions 

included two music teachers, a 

‘ladies nurse’ and Sarah Maria 

Pope, who gave her name to a 

highly successful retail business 

which she founded and managed. 

•From page 1 

“I didn’t trust my abilities and 

I couldn’t stop worrying about 

what people were thinking to the 

point it would not allow me to 

show what I can actually do as I 

have to in an audition.” 

Gregory has been passionate 

about the arts since a young age, 

starting ballet at six. 

But it was when she was accepted 

into the National Academy 

of Singing and Dramatic Art 

in 2015 that she began to train 

heavily in ballet, jazz and tap. 

“In terms of my love of musical 

theatre, it was never a choice. 

There’s nothing else I want 

to do and I need to do it,” she 

said. 

When Gregory was eight, the 

skin on her hands and feet began 

to break and she recalls having 

to walk on her toes because her 

heels hurt so much. 

But it wasn’t until she began to 

get arthritis in her hands at the 

age of 14 that she was officially 

diagnosed with rheumatoid and 

psoriatic arthritis. 

Gregory said both conditions 

are caused by the auto-immune 

disease, psoriasis, which causes a 

rapid build-up of skin cells. 

Before she was diagnosed, she 

was told her skin condition was 

a result of dermatitis. But now 

she is taking an oral immune 

system suppressant, methotrexate, 

which has kept her condition 

under control. The only time she 

ever stopped dancing was when 

she attempted to take a break 

from her medication in 2015 

to find a more natural way to 

control her condition. When she 

stopped taking it her psoriasis 

came back “horribly” and she 

had to spend three months away 

from dance. 

“This time (away from dance) 

allowed me to realise how much 


Local 


Now 

Arthritis doesn’t hinder 

passion for performing arts 


LOVE OF DANCE: Nothing has stopped Laurel Gregory from 

following her dreams of becoming a professional musical 

theatre performer. 

I actually enjoyed dancing 

rather than just doing it,” she 

said. 

Gregory said she is grateful the 

medication gives her the ability 

to do what she wants with her 

life.

Bowling club to mark 100 years 

Three-day 

celebration 

planned 

over Easter 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE BELFAST Bowling Club 

will celebrate its 100th birthday 

with three days of festivities over 

Easter weekend. 

The club will host a get 

together on Friday night, a bowls 

tournament and dinner on 

Saturday, and then a celebrity 

bowls event and barbecue on 

Sunday. With Easter weekend 

approaching, the centenary 

organising committee is urging 

those interested in being part of 

the celebration to register for the 

events. 

The Belfast Bowling Club was 

founded in 1919. The present 

site was originally leased 

from the Waimairi County 

Council, which has now been 

amalgamated into the city 

council. 

Since then, a number of fine 

bowlers have graced the green at 

Belfast. The club has had three 

members represent New Zealand 

during their time at the club – 

Kelvin Scott, Glen McDonald 

and Nathan Glasson. 

Scott became the only Belfast 

member to win a national 

singles title in 1997/1998 when 

he defeated Maurice Symes in 

the final 21-15 at the Naenae 

Bowling Club in Wellington. 

Belfast has also been a 

dominant force in Canterbury’s 

interclub competition – winning 

13 of the last 20 sevens titles. 

The club has hosted many 

social occasions, including 

a regular Thursday club 

night, which is rumoured to 

occasionally turn into a bit of a 

party. 

“It’s a very social club. 

Thursday nights is a real social 

occasion, we have meals and 

do get carried away sometimes. 

Not too much, though, there’s 

been no dancing on the tables 

yet,” said centenary committee 

member Ann Gray. 

The committee got some 

extra funding for the centenary 

through their Mickey Mouse 

piggy bank, which can be found 

at the Thursday club night. 

“If someone does wrong 

biases, they get a fine. If they 

travel overseas, that’s another 

one,” said centenary committee 

member Jasmine Latham. 

With the clubrooms regularly 

hired for birthday parties and 

other gatherings, it’s not just 

members at the club who have 

TURNING 

100: Belfast 

centenary 

organising 

committee 

members Bill 

Haase, Malcolm 

Taylor, Jasmine 

Latham, Ann 

Gray, Murray 

Jones (club 

president), Les 

McFadden and 

Eric Allison with 

their Mickey 

Mouse piggy 

bank. 

created memories there over 

the years. The club’s green is 

also often hired out for private 

bookings. 

“We had one group on a stag 

do. They had been on about 

a five-hour bus trip before 

they even got here, so you can 

imagine what sort of state they 

were in . . . to get them off the 

green when they were finished 

I said the sprinklers are set on 

a timer and they’re about to 

come on, so I suggest getting 

off the green,” said centenary 

committee member Eric Allison. 

“I just snuck into the control 

panel and turned them on. The 

SPORT 

stag just stood right over the top 

of the sprinkler and got a good 

washing down.” 

The current clubrooms and 

facilities are the result of a lot 

of hard work from members in 

the late 1970s and early 1980s, 

mostly by volunteer labour. 

Sheldon Park, which the 

Belfast Bowling Club is part 

of, was generously gifted to 

the Belfast district by William 

Nicholls who was the owner of 

Kaputone Wool Works. The park 

was named in 1913 after his wife 

Sarah Sheldon Nicholls who 

passed away in 1911 aged 56. 

A significant year for the 

club came in 2000 when the 

amalgamation of the Belfast 

men’s and ladies bowls sections 

took place. 

The Belfast ladies section was 

started in 1955 and has had 

fluctuating member numbers 

over the years from 18 in 1965 

to 10 in the 1979/80 season to 

a peak of 42 members in the 

1990/1991 season. 

“We had a uniform with long 

skirts that you had to measure. 

When you kneeled down it 

would touch the ground. We had 

hats and everything,” said Gray. 

The club currently has 39 

men and 18 ladies who are full 

playing members. It also has 10 

limited playing members, 76 

social members and six living life 

members.

Top school rugby player 

SPORT 

pushes for NRL start 


FORMER BURNSIDE High 

first XV player Mikaele Ravalawa 

looks set to be the latest young 

Christchurch league convert to 

make his mark on the NRL. 

Ravalawa scored two tries 

for the St George Illawarra 

Dragons in their 18-10 win over 

the Newcastle Knights in a preseason 

trial match. 

In 2016, the Fijian 

winger finished as the UC 

Championship’s top try scorer 

after crossing the line 14 times 

for Burnside. 

He was then picked up by the 

Canberra Raiders and went on 

to be named the club’s under-20 

player of the year before moving 

to the Dragons this year. 

Ravalawa showed his ability 

against the Knights, brushing 

past five defenders to score from 

a desperate play that seemed to 

be going nowhere. 

Australian media have 

now started drawing 

comparisons between the 

21-year-old and Fijian NRL 

legend Noa Nadruku. 

He would join several other 

former Christchurch school 

rugby players who have switched 

to league. Last year Shirley 

Boys’ High School and St 

Bede’s College first XV product, 

RISING STAR: Mikaele 

Ravalawa, who scored 14 tries 

for Burnside High School in 

the 2016 UC Championship, 

crossed the line twice for the 

Dragons in a trial match. 

Jamayne Isaako, was named 

NRL rookie of the year and also 

finished as the competition’s top 

points scorer. Meanwhile, 2016’s 

most outstanding player in the 

UC Championship – Cruz Topai- 

Aveai – could also be set to make 

his NRL debut after being named 

in the Cronulla Sharks squad. 

GOLD: Isabella 

Carter (right) 

teamed up 

with Grace 

Loveridge 

to win the 

under-20 

women’s 

coxless pair 

at the New 

Zealand 

Rowing 

Championships. 

Rangi girls in the medals 

at NZ rowing champs 

FORMER RANGI Ruru 

Girls’ School students 

were among the medals at 

the New Zealand Rowing 

Championships held on Lake 

Ruataniwha in Twizel. 

Isabella Carter and Eve 

Macfarlane achieved excellent 

results in a competitive field. 

Carter won gold in both the 

under-20 women’s single sculls 

and under-20 women’s coxless 

pair. She also finished second 

in the under-22 women’s 

coxless four. Meanwhile, 

Macfarlane finished second 

in both the premier women’s 

double sculls and coxed eight. 

The regatta attracts club 

and senior athletes, as well as 

novice rowers, who compete 

on the same course as elite 

rowers who have represented 

New Zealand on the world 

stage. Rangi Ruru’s rowing 

manager Ella Vink also took 

away three golds in the coxed 

four and eights. 

Vink says she was thrilled 

that Carter and Macfarlane 

did so well in the regatta and 

expects them to both continue 

to succeed on the rowing stage 

at whatever level they choose to 

compete at. 

“That’s the key,” she said. 

“At Rangi we support the 

girls to achieve the very best 

they can and they then have 

choices about what they want 

to do, where and when. They’ve 

worked hard to be in a position 

to make these choices and we 

will always be here for them, 

cheering for them whatever 

they choose to do.”

How to support 

healthy weight loss 

One of the big reasons we 

gain weight especially as we 

get older is our metabolism 

slows down. Metabolism is 

the process by which our 

bodies convert what we eat 

and drink into energy. That 

energy is what allows our 

body to operate. With a slower 

metabolism we often feel like 

eating more leading to more 

weight gain and less energy. 

If we try to do more exercise 

with a slower metabolism 

often this has little benefit 

as we feel hungrier and eat 

more. 

GO HEALTHY NZ have recently released 

an advanced new weight management 

formula “CAPSI-SLIM” that contains 

clinically researched ingredients. The first 

new ingredient Capsimax ® has been shown 

to support energy production, healthy 

metabolism as well as Lipolysis the breakdown 

of stored fat for energy. The formula 

also contains Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA 

from Garcinia cambogia. HCA has been 

shown to help control the appetite so we feel 

like eating less. HCA also helps manage your 

stress levels preventing excessive emotional 

eating. As well as this it also helps reduce the 

amount of fat being stored in the body but 

instead helps burn this stored fat for energy. 

Green tea extract is another 

nutrient in the formula that 

can help activate the central 

nervous system, which in 

turn increases the body’s 

metabolic rate, decreases fat 

absorption and is a powerful 

antioxidant. The next nutrient 

is chromium a trace mineral 

that is essential to stabilize the 

body’s blood sugar levels but 

is often lacking in our diet. 

Chromium may help reduce 

carbohydrate and sugar 

cravings while increasing 

lean body mass. It has been 

shown to stimulate weight 

loss in people with obesity. The last nutrient 

iodine is lacking in the New Zealand 

diet. Sufficient iodine is essential for the 

production of thyroid hormones, which 

regulate the metabolic energy of the body. 

As well as weight gain iodine deficiency can 

lead to diseases and reduced life-span. 

The Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s 

Health & Natural Therapy are happy to help 

you with your weight loss goals. Everyone 

is different and we can help you choose the 

most suitable supplements for best results. 

Come and see us in our new larger 

store at 101 Seaview Road, New Brighton 

or phone us on 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Modern diet leads to illness! 

It’s not what you eat but what you absorb 

Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen 

and Shane noticed at the end of the 20th 

century more and more of their patients 

were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive 

issues that were often leading to more 

serious chronic health conditions. Being 

Naturopaths they wanted to find what was 

going wrong and began extensive research. 

What they found was although their clients 

were generally eating good food they were 

not obtaining all the nutrients required for 

good health from this food. Further research 

showed one of the main problems was the 

digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but 

what you absorb.” Another well-known 

problem is the soils the crops are grown in 

have been depleted of many trace elements 

and other nutrients that are known to be 

essential for good health and therefore the 

crops and food are also depleted. If we do 

not obtain all the nutrients we require the 

body will compensate to some degree but 

a lack of too many nutrients will eventually 

lead to health issues. 

Based on this they 

developed VITAL 

GREENS, now called 

VITAL ALL-IN- 

ONE, a nutrient dense 

powdered formula 

that provides superior 

absorption as well 

as comprehensive 

nutrition. They 

decided on a 

powdered formula 

that could be made 

as a great tasting drink because liquid 

nutrition is the easiest way for the body 

to absorb nutrients especially if digestive 

issues are present. The formula provides 

78 vital ingredients that work together in 

synergy optimising each other’s absorption 

and benefits. Vital Greens contains a 

carefully balanced blend of nutritionally 

rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals, 

vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and 

herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful 

antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino 

acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a 

uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides 

superior nutrition to a multivitamin and 

just about anyone will benefit from it. It is 

designed to provide all the nutrients the 

body requires for good health. It is also ideal 

for those in poor health, those recovering 

from injury or sickness, children, athletes, 

poor eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable 

for people with dietary restrictions and is 

gluten, wheat and dairy free. VITAL ALL- 

IN-ONE will help remove toxic waste from 

the body while supporting all organs. You’ll 

often notice more energy and endurance, 

better sleep, a more positive mood, 

skin problems improving, less sickness, 

improved eyesight and overall better more 

optimum health. 

Further information and how to obtain 

the maximum benefits from VITAL ALL- 

IN-ONE as well as tastings is available

HOME & HEATING 

The 

importance 

of air quality 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

The quality of the air we breathe 

affects our health and ability to 

perform. We breathe in and out 

approximately 20,000 litres of 

air every day. It is therefore very 

important to ensure good air 

quality indoors through adequate 

ventilation. Ventilation is the 

process of air exchange to provide 

the necessary air quality that meets 

the needs of the occupants for clean, 

fresh air. Low oxygen with high 

carbon dioxide causes stuffiness 

in the room and occupants can 

feel drowsy. Invisible harmful 

substances like a high content of 

dust and tobacco smoke are harmful 

and can cause various diseases. Even 

bad smells can cause discomfort 

or irritate the nervous system. In 

summer, it’s easy to open windows 

for cross ventilation, however as 

winter approaches, we start to shut 

up out houses to trap in the heat and 

as a result, air quality can decline. 

Ventilation includes both the 

exchange of air to the outside as 

well as circulation of air within 

the building. It is one of the 

most important factors for maintaining 

acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. 

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered 

and warmed air in winter creates a healthy 

environment in which to live and work. In 

case of poor or insufficient air intake from 

outside, the oxygen content decreases, 

humidity and dustiness levels increase. If 

exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is 

not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity 

and harmful substances are not removed. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required air exchange for 

your building requirement. 

Smooth-Air offers a wide range 

of ventilation equipment, from 

air vents to ducting for fans, 

for both the commercial and 

domestic markets. They have 

an extensive range of fans and 

ventilation components instore 

but they can also provide 

innovative solutions tailored to 

differing requirements. 

You can contact Smooth-Air on 

0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684). 

Are you struggling with the heat of 

Summer or wanting to get organised for 

Winter? With the ever changing weather 

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility 

of being able to heat and cool which is an 

advantage no other appliance can offer. This 

represents great value for your investment 

as you can use it all year round. The team 

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you 

cool this Summer either at home or work. 

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services 

all the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the 1st of 

July deadline. Inadequate heating and 

ventilation can lead to mould growth and 

dampness in your property, leading to 

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy 

living environment. Providing a fixed 

heater with a higher heat output and lower 

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable 

your tenants to heat the area effectively. 

It will also discourage them from using 

unflued gas heaters which can make a 

house damp and mouldy. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs.

As they say there is no substitute for quality 

and this home has that in spades. 

North facing, sheltered, and nestled amongst 

mature trees and gardens this superbly built 

spacious light and airy home of about 337m2 

enjoys lovely sea and rural views and is also 

very private. 

Comprising 5/6 very generous bedrooms, 

3 bathrooms including an en suite, and 2/3 

living areas. The kitchen and lounge are 

enormous, the hallways wide and most of the 

rooms open on to covered verandah giving 

shelter in Winter and shade in Summer. The 

main living area is octagonal in shape and is 

huge with a large wood-burner and also opens 

onto the verandah and lawn area giving great 

indoor outdoor flow. 

The farm house style kitchen features plenty 

of storage, a Rayburn stove connected to a 

wetback and the entire house is centrally 

heated with a diesel burner supplying hot 

water radiators. Fully insulated throughout 

and with double glazed cedar joinery you can 

see and feel no expense has been spared on 

this build. 

The land (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending) 

is a mixture of lawns, native plantings a 

paddock and 2 very well established orchards. 

There are 4 outdoor sheds, a good sized 3 bay 

barn/garage, lockable with concrete floor, 

3 phase power and toilet and good water 

supplies with a spring and deep water bore. 

This property gives many options due to its 

size, i.e. extended family or Airbnb etc. etc. 

and only a 12 minute drive to the Diamond 

Harbour ferry giving access to Lyttelton and 

the city. 

This is the perfect opportunity to have the 

lifestyle without having too much to look 

after, a chance to be semi self-sufficient and all 

this only 45 minutes approx. drive from the 

city. 

Only approx. 10 years old, to build this now

the asking price so this is great buying in a 

beautiful location.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

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

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Ferry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
