Long wait<br />

for safety<br />

report<br />

frustrates<br />

principal<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

MAIREHAU Primary School’s<br />

principal is still waiting for a<br />

safety report on two “dangerous”<br />

pedestrian crossings used daily by<br />

its pupils.<br />

In September, the Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board asked<br />

the city council to investigate<br />

the crossings on Innes Rd after<br />

concerns were raised about<br />

motorists failing to stop.<br />

Principal John Bangma said he<br />

is “frustrated” that the school has<br />

heard nothing after six months<br />

and the problem “hasn’t changed.”<br />

The New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency told Nor’West <strong>News</strong> in<br />

September it had recorded five<br />

crashes at the crossing outside<br />

Mairehau Primary School dating<br />

back to 20<strong>02</strong> – one fatal, one<br />

serious, one minor and two noninjury.​<br />

Board deputy chairwoman<br />

Emma Norrish followed up<br />

the issue with the city council<br />

recently and was told staff aim to<br />

provide information for each of<br />

the crossings this month.<br />

IT WAS fantastic to see members of the Warriors put a smile<br />

on the faces of more than 100 pupils at Bishopdale School last<br />

week.<br />

They gave a KidsCan raincoat with the Warriors logo on the<br />

back to every child at the school to keep them warm and dry as<br />

winter approaches.<br />

Sarah Stewart from KidsCan says the school wanted the visit<br />

to go ahead as planned so the pupils could look forward to it<br />

following last month’s tragic events.<br />

In other school news, we revisit the concerns that at least one<br />

principal has over pedestrian crossings outside his school.<br />

It has been about six months since Nor’west <strong>News</strong> reported on<br />

the “dangerous” pedestrian crossings near Mairehau Primary<br />

and St Francis of Assisi schools. The principals are still waiting<br />

for a safety report from the city council while pupils continue to<br />

cross the road there every day.<br />

Llew Summers<br />

This is a collection of recent work from Llew, half of which has not been<br />

shown before. One group, on mythic themes, explores the human condition<br />

metaphorically. The remaining work treats the human body in Llew’s traditional<br />

manner, exploring the joy of movement as a celebration of life. All the bronzes are<br />

initially carved in wood or marble and are from editions of seven.<br />

Robyn Webster<br />

This printmaking technique which I have<br />

developed, came about from my explorations with<br />

harakeke / NZ flax and fine art over many years.<br />

I sought to bring these threads<br />

together and plait them into one<br />

form of expression. I make the<br />

figures, objects and textures,<br />

and hand print them in different<br />

colours and compositions to make<br />

one-off but related pictures. I am<br />

also hoping to evoke an emotional<br />

response to the material itself.<br />

‘Mercury’ available<br />

a resurgence of natural materials<br />

such as harakeke into everyday use,<br />

and for us to continue to innovate<br />

alternatives to single-use plastics.<br />

More broadly, my work asks<br />

questions about how we see<br />

ourselves in relation to our<br />

environment and to each other. In<br />

this body of work I am considering<br />

my relationship with Llew, my love,<br />

and with the concept of Love itself.<br />

Cycle route plan worries businesses<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

STORE OWNERS on Edgeware<br />

Rd are confused over whether<br />

a proposed cycle route could<br />

lead to parking being removed<br />

outside their stores.<br />

Concerns were raised after a<br />

public consultation document on<br />

Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />

traffic mitigation<br />

was delivered to<br />

shop owners by<br />

the city council<br />

in March.<br />

The proposal<br />

showed the city<br />

council’s plan<br />

David Timbs<br />

to undertake a<br />

study into a cycle<br />

route on the east<br />

and west sides of Edgeware Rd,<br />

running from Springfield Rd to<br />

Packe St.<br />

Peter Timbs Meats owner<br />

David Timbs said when he<br />

looked at the diagram, it seemed<br />

like the cycle route could remove<br />

parking, which would affect foot<br />

traffic and have a major impact<br />

on the business.<br />

Crisp on Edgeware owner<br />

Simon Lau also said the proposal<br />

might lead to car parks being<br />

removed.<br />

But city councillor Mike<br />

Davidson said that is not the<br />

case.<br />

Cr Davidson talked to city<br />

council staff after hearing about<br />

the confusion from businesses<br />

and was told there has been “no<br />

discussion over the removal of<br />

car parks.”<br />

He said he could understand<br />

store owners’ concerns because<br />

of the Papanui Parallel cycleway<br />

upgrades in 2017, which hurt<br />

several businesses after parking<br />

was removed.<br />

But he said that it is too<br />

early to know what will happen<br />

and the study will need to<br />

be done before any options,<br />

including the removal of<br />

parking, are even discussed.<br />

BUNS<br />

But Mr Timbs said whatever<br />

the outcome of the study, there is<br />

“no way” traffic could go<br />

both ways with car parks,<br />

cycle routes and a footpath on<br />

Edgeware Rd.<br />

There are seven car parks<br />

outside the two buildings leased<br />

on Edgeware Rd for Peter<br />

Timbs Meat’s wholesale and<br />

retail stores.<br />

Although he understands<br />

the study is only a proposal,<br />

Mr Timbs is still gearing up to<br />

oppose any changes that may<br />

happen down the track.<br />

He said with 60 employees, OPTION ONE<br />

WORRIED:<br />

A proposal<br />

for traffic<br />

mitigation on<br />

Edgeware<br />

Rd has left<br />

store owner<br />

David Timbs<br />

concerned<br />

that he may<br />

lose car parks<br />

outside Peter<br />

Timbs Meats<br />

wholesale<br />

and retail<br />

stores.<br />

he “can’t afford to lose any<br />

business.”<br />

“Our lifeline is customers<br />

coming through our door, so I’ve<br />

got to catch it early because if I<br />

don’t do it now who knows what<br />

will happen,” he said.<br />

•The Christchurch Northern<br />

Corridor traffic mitigation<br />

plan is open for consultation<br />

until <strong>April</strong> 15. If you want to<br />

Anniversary<br />

of Nor’West<br />

Brass Band<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

IT WAS over a beer at a busy pub<br />

that Avonhead’s Bill Vail and his<br />

friend Adrian Dalton decided the<br />

north-west of the city needed its<br />

own brass band.<br />

The idea was sparked after Mr<br />

Dalton, a teacher at Burnside<br />

High School, was concerned his<br />

brass students had no local band<br />

to play in.<br />

The two musicians decided<br />

to do something about it and<br />

the Nor’West Brass Band was<br />

formed.<br />

Five years on and the booming<br />

band, based at Rangi Ruru<br />

Girls’ School, has surpassed their<br />

original goals to have 80 band<br />

members over three tiered levels.<br />

In the time it has been<br />

running, it has grown from about<br />

five to 85 members. The band was<br />

set to hold a concert to mark its<br />

five-year anniversary on Sunday,<br />

which featured a performance<br />

of Christchurch Alive!, written<br />

by Mr Vail’s son Dale, who has<br />

received a fellowship with the<br />

Sydney Symphony Orchestra.<br />

Costly security upgrade for casket maker<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A BISHOPDALE coffin club<br />

which provides free caskets to<br />

mothers who have lost their<br />

babies has forked out $2300 for<br />

new security after a burglary.<br />

The Kiwi Coffin Club is<br />

attempting to raise the money<br />

spent on alarms, window bars<br />

and doors at its container on the<br />

Menzshed site on Kendal Ave<br />

through a Givealittle page.<br />

The club makes ‘angel boxes’ –<br />

custom-made caskets for babies<br />

lost to stillbirth, cot death or<br />

miscarriage – which are donated<br />

to Christchurch Women’s<br />

Hospital.<br />

Club founder Donna<br />

Sutherland said insurance will<br />

cover the cost of the equipment<br />

taken when the burglars broke<br />

in through the window.<br />

The items taken included an<br />

air compressor, airbrush guns<br />

and hoses. “They even took my<br />

pink tools and toolbox,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mrs Sutherland started<br />

the Givealittle page a week<br />

after the burglary but had to<br />

extend it after it did not meet<br />

the target.<br />

All money used to fund the<br />

angel boxes is earned through<br />

selling adult-sized, custommade<br />

caskets.​<br />

Mrs Sutherland, who started<br />

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

the project in 2016, said she was<br />

“deeply saddened” when the<br />

container was burgled.<br />

She is retired and devotes all<br />

of her time to the coffin club<br />

with four other trustees who<br />

help out at no cost.<br />

One of the trustees,<br />

Kevin Bradshaw, discovered the<br />

container had been broken into<br />

and said he contacted<br />

Mrs Sutherland straight<br />

away.<br />

Mr Bradshaw volunteers<br />

at the Menzshed and acts as<br />

a quality control checker to<br />

ensure the caskets are up to<br />

scratch before they are sold to<br />

customers or donated to the<br />

hospital.<br />

Lovelock garden impresses again<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

BRIAN AND Janet Lovelock<br />

have two new garden trophies<br />

to display in their Northwood<br />

home.<br />

The couple took out two<br />

awards at the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Pride Garden<br />

Awards on Wednesday night.<br />

The ‘most attractive residential<br />

garden’ and ‘community board<br />

choice’ awards add to the list of<br />

accolades they have won in past<br />

gardening competitions.<br />

“It’s such an exciting thing.<br />

You do these gardens for<br />

pleasure, but to get a reward<br />

is just extra special,” said Mrs<br />

Lovelock.<br />

More than 100 awards went<br />

to residents from Fendalton,<br />

Waimari and Harewood at the<br />

awards ceremony.<br />

About 200 people filled the<br />

Russley Golf Club, including<br />

recipients and their guests,<br />

speakers and board members.<br />

The awards acknowledge<br />

community gardens<br />

and celebrate the effort residents<br />

put into them.<br />

There were six special<br />

awards, which went to people<br />

with exceptional gardens in<br />

the community, two of which<br />

were claimed by Mr and Mrs<br />

Lovelock. They have been top<br />

contenders in many gardening<br />

competitions – and also won<br />

seven awards for their garden<br />

at this year’s Christchurch<br />

Beautifying Association summer<br />

garden competition.<br />

They also received premier<br />

gold at the spring gardening<br />

awards from the Canterbury<br />

Horticultural Society in 2017.<br />

“It’s so rewarding. It just<br />

shows how much other people<br />

appreciate what we do,” said Mrs<br />

Lovelock.<br />

Board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald attended and said<br />

the night went “really well.”<br />

“This is a great annual<br />

event, where our board get the<br />

opportunity to recognise the<br />

hard work of so many people<br />

who make our streets and<br />

communities such nice places to<br />

live.”<br />

“Every year I am impressed by<br />

the high standard of all<br />

the gardens chosen by the<br />

Mr MacDonald said he<br />

was glad to see a certificate of<br />

appreciation go to Rangi Ruru<br />

which promotes the message of<br />

healthy eating and how to grow<br />

vegetables.<br />

the community board on <strong>April</strong> 17<br />

to confirm top priority transport<br />

projects.<br />

“Mairehau Primary School<br />

and/or the St Francis of Assisi<br />

School zebra crossings are being<br />

considered. Staff will refine<br />

options to improve the zebra<br />

crossings if funding is allocated to<br />

the project,” he said.<br />

Ms Norris is frustrated<br />

the process is taking so long and<br />

the board will continue chasing<br />

it up, she said. Mr Bangma has<br />

worked at the school for 17 years<br />

and said the problem has got<br />

worse.<br />

He said motorists speed through<br />

the crossings even when the signs<br />

are out before and after school.<br />

“The law is clear that when one<br />

sign is out, regardless of which<br />

side it’s on, that traffic must stop.<br />

We get cars speeding up so they<br />

can get through before the other<br />

sign can be put out,” said Mr<br />

Bangma.<br />

GO TEAM: Warriors prop Jackson Frei with Bishopdale School<br />

Warriors visit pupils at<br />

Bishopdale School<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mrs Fisher said the children<br />

were thrilled with their new<br />

jackets and were very excited to<br />

see members of the Warriors.<br />

“Even some of the parents were<br />

quite amazed,” she said.<br />

Mrs Fisher said she was<br />

thankful for the work KidsCan<br />

and other volunteers do to ensure<br />

children’s needs are met.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Rates increase ‘isn’t sustainable’<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community<br />

Board chairman and<br />

chartered accountant<br />

Sam MacDonald writes<br />

about concerns over rate<br />

increases<br />

ARE WE being rated out of our<br />

own homes?<br />

I regularly have ratepayers<br />

contact me expressing their<br />

concerns over the rate rises,<br />

and the idea that we will all<br />

eventually be “rated out of our<br />

own homes.” It particularly<br />

worries me for the large fixed<br />

income population across our<br />

community.<br />

It’s appropriate for me to note<br />

this is my personal view and I’m<br />

not speaking on behalf of our<br />

board as I write this.<br />

As an area, we contribute just<br />

over $100 million in rates to the<br />

council each year, so when we<br />

factor in the yearly increases,<br />

this is a large contribution from<br />

us all (whether you own or rent<br />

your home). What do we get for<br />

that?<br />

I want to share with you the<br />

most common questions and<br />

concerns I get locally from<br />

residents: Do we need more<br />

cycleways? What’s happening<br />

with our water? Why did the<br />

town hall cost us millions more<br />

than planned? Why are our<br />

roads still the way they are?<br />

What would you add to<br />

that list? Here’s mine: In my<br />

household, my rates now cost<br />

more than the cost of my power<br />

bill, what more am I getting for<br />

that?<br />

The council draft Annual<br />

Plan has been out for public<br />

submissions over the past<br />

several weeks. This has been an<br />

opportunity for us all to have a<br />

say and to tell councillors and<br />

the mayor what we think the<br />

priorities are in our city, whether<br />

that be local projects or the rates<br />

charged to us all.<br />

As you will recall, the council<br />

10-year Long Term Plan was<br />

set last year, which on current<br />

projections would mean our<br />

rates will increase by 50 per cent<br />

over this period.<br />

That isn’t sustainable and<br />

nowhere near<br />

the annual inflation increase.<br />

Whether it be deferring<br />

spending money on some<br />

new projects, getting greater<br />

operational efficiency within<br />

the council or being as bold as<br />

imposing a rates increase cap, it’s<br />

clear something has to change.<br />

I hope you are able<br />

to follow the city council debate<br />

and amendments over the<br />

Annual Plan in the coming<br />

weeks, I know I will be.<br />

City2Surf<br />

Iconic event brings community together<br />

The Kadodo Western African band get the crowd warmed up before the start, including Alice Egan, 14, Isabelle O’Carroll, 15, and<br />

Bing Lin.<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

“THIS YEAR was special.”<br />

Star Media regional manager<br />

Steve McCaughan said this year’s<br />

45th fun run was one of the most<br />

poignant City2Surf events there<br />

has been.<br />

Thousands of Cantabrians<br />

turned out, entries were well<br />

up on 2018, with a surge of last<br />

minute entries at the end of the<br />

week.<br />

Had it been any closer to the<br />

tragic terror attack of March 15<br />

that claimed 50 lives, Mr<br />

McCaughan said the City2Surf<br />

would not have gone ahead.<br />

Instead it was a chance to bring<br />

people together to have a positive<br />

distraction through the adversity,<br />

he said.<br />

“It felt like the first step that<br />

Cantabrians could take in the<br />

healing process and moving back<br />

to some normality . . . we needed<br />

this,” he said.<br />

“It brought people together<br />

to share in a community activity<br />

with the benefit of some physical<br />

activity.”<br />

There was also an increase in<br />

the number of small groups, with<br />

more people running in twos,<br />

threes and fours than usual, Mr<br />

McCaughan said.<br />

“People were getting together<br />

and saying let’s do this.”<br />

This year’s supporting charity<br />

was the Canterbury Charity<br />

Hospital Trust, which is currently<br />

offering free counselling following<br />

the Christchurch shootings.<br />

Maori health provider He<br />

Waka Tapu had 1200 people running,<br />

jogging and walking under<br />

its banner.<br />

The major prize, return flights<br />

to Singapore with Singapore<br />

Airlines, was won by one of its<br />

team.<br />

“There was a strong sense of elation<br />

at the finish line, more so than<br />

usual,” Mr McCaughan said.<br />

“People from almost every part<br />

of the community came over the<br />

line as one. It was inclusive, which<br />

is a value that New Zealanders<br />

have embraced.”<br />

Proposed<br />

Aquatic<br />

Thrill Ride<br />

Summer ‘19<br />

Our biggest development yet...<br />

We’re pumped! We have<br />

resource consent to build<br />

five new thermal pools and<br />

a new aquatic thrill ride.<br />

The development will cost<br />

$4.5 million and is set to<br />

open in late <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Best of all, we’ve worked<br />

hard to make the new<br />

additions environmentally<br />

sustainable.<br />

Proposed<br />

Cascade<br />

Pools<br />

Our newest thrill<br />

The new 13.5 metre high slide will attach<br />

to our existing hydroslide tower above the<br />

SuperBowl flume.<br />

We’re yet to name the slide, but it will be<br />

a rush. Riders will shoot down a winding<br />

hydroslide in 2-person tubes, before going<br />

down a steep drop that propels them<br />

up a near-vertical wall for a moment of<br />

weightlessness, before zooming back down<br />

and onto the slide’s finish.<br />

Five new pools<br />

Five new pools will sit among river boulder<br />

terraces and native gardens next to the<br />

Rainbow Pools. They’ll be linked by cascading<br />

water over the rocks – a peaceful place<br />

to relax and soak while enjoying the water<br />

sounds surrounding you.<br />

The bottom pool will have beach-style<br />

access making it easy for everyone to use.<br />

Environmentally<br />

sustainable<br />

Half of the energy required to run the<br />

new pools and slide will come from a heat<br />

transfer unit that will utilise energy which is<br />

a bi-product of our electricity generator.<br />

The pools are designed to be super water<br />

efficient with no holding tanks. That was<br />

important to us – we’ve worked hard to save<br />

58,000,000 litres of thermal water a year in<br />

recent times.<br />

We are also pioneering new construction<br />

techniques so the pools’ foundation will sit<br />

above ground and not damage tree roots<br />

below.<br />

Timeframe<br />

Construction is underway and<br />

we will be open Summer <strong>2019</strong>!<br />

In your<br />

neighbourhood<br />

Get ready for a healthy winter<br />

As the seasons change, the risk of<br />

coughs, colds and flu can increase,<br />

sending Christchurch residents to<br />

their local pharmacy to stock up<br />

on medications and to get their flu<br />

vaccinations.<br />

Elmwood Pharmacy at 3 Normans<br />

Road in Strowan is ready for the rush –<br />

they have already started flu vaccinations<br />

for this year. This is the best way of<br />

protecting yourself from the flu and is<br />

free to over 65’s and pregnant women at<br />

the pharmacy. However, anyone can walk<br />

you.<br />

Elmwood Pharmacy also stock a wide<br />

range of natural healthcare products<br />

to boost your immunity and help<br />

protect you further through the winter.<br />

Pharmacist Jo Readman explains that it is<br />

important to discuss your needs and any<br />

other existing conditions and medications<br />

with your local pharmacy staff to make<br />

sure you are not putting yourself or your<br />

loved ones at additional risk. Her team<br />

many other conditions, and should<br />

the winter bugs strike they also stock a<br />

range of pharmacy-strength cough and<br />

cold medicines only available from the<br />

pharmacist to help ease your symptoms<br />

whilst you recover. Although the<br />

common cold and ‘flu can affect people of<br />

all ages the elderly and the very young are<br />

particularly vulnerable and it is important<br />

to get the best advice to ensure you and<br />

your family stay as healthy as possible.<br />

As well as encouraging their clients to<br />

be proactive about their health, Jo and her<br />

staff provide the full range of community<br />

pharmacy services including medicines<br />

advice services, local delivery, compliance<br />

packaging to help you manage your<br />

medicines, and many others. Located<br />

next door to Norman’s Road Surgery,<br />

they are a fast and convenient way to fill<br />

prescriptions. They also meet a host of<br />

other needs – there is a range of natural<br />

toiletries and skin care including brands<br />

such as Ethique, Trilogy and Antipodes.<br />

Whether a customer’s need is for a<br />

medicated hair care product or corn<br />

plasters, the team can advise on products<br />

to help literally from head to toe, and<br />

from the inside out as well.<br />

our teams. These players<br />

will be experiencing<br />

King.<br />

As an additional<br />

opportunity for the girls<br />

attending the camp,<br />

OPPORTUNITY:<br />

Ashlee<br />

students Samuel<br />

Jenkins and<br />

Mac Stodart<br />

at an under-19<br />

New Zealand<br />

team camp in<br />

Auckland ​<br />

there will be an NCAAaccredited<br />

exposure camp<br />

on <strong>April</strong> 26. Mr King says<br />

this part of the camp will<br />

be attended by a number<br />

of US college coaches.<br />

He also hinted<br />

that Basketball New<br />

Zealand may conduct a<br />

Tall Ferns camp at the<br />

same time as the selection<br />

camp.<br />

Mr King said if he can<br />

make it happen, he will<br />

look to get the junior<br />

players court-side to see<br />

their senior role-models in<br />

action.<br />

“These camps take on<br />

added significance if we<br />

can have the Tall Ferns<br />

or Tall Blacks there. We<br />

will announce more on<br />

this later but, yes, there’s a<br />

chance the girls will get to<br />

see their heroes in action,”<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

Centuries old folk remedy supports<br />

good health!<br />

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an<br />

array of powerful health benefits. It is none<br />

other than the popular apple cider vinegar<br />

or ACV.<br />

Since the time of Hippocrates – the<br />

“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />

renowned for its curative properties.<br />

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &<br />

FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />

reports how he found that Vermonters<br />

who regularly consumed ACV and<br />

Honey had excellent health with many<br />

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

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

He also noted the effects of ACV and H<br />

on arthritis to be remarkable with many<br />

patients reporting almost total relief<br />

after taking a course of the mixture.<br />

Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and<br />

potassium in cider vinegar counteracted<br />

calcium deposits and helped the body<br />

control calcium use. He also noted that<br />

Vermonters who consumed ACV and H<br />

around meal time had excellent blood<br />

pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />

found was that protein foods thickened<br />

the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the<br />

blood thickens it cannot pass as easily<br />

and quickly through the blood vessels<br />

and capillaries. This poor blood flow<br />

would reduce cellular health by limiting<br />

nutrients to the cells as well as waste<br />

elimination from the cells. To prevent<br />

cell damage the body naturally increases<br />

blood pressure but this puts more stress<br />

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

Having ACV and H with meals will<br />

help prevent protein raising the blood<br />

pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />

of greater well-being because the thinner<br />

blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />

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

regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />

an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />

Health attributes.<br />

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains<br />

all the goodness of the apple in a form<br />

that is readily accepted by the bodyGood<br />

health starts with good digestion and<br />

assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken<br />

before food will stimulate and promote<br />

healthy digestion and assimilation of<br />

vital nutrients for good health. A wellfunctioning<br />

digestive system helps<br />

prevent disease by neutralising any toxic<br />

substances that enter the body.<br />

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

produced in the traditional way and results<br />

are likely to prove disappointing with these<br />

other vinegars.<br />

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV<br />

with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />

Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />

the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />

you can use less.<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 />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Bathroom<br />

Ventilation<br />

The extraction of air from the bathroom<br />

should be a priority for all houses and<br />

commercial buildings.<br />

Bathrooms can generate a large quantity<br />

of steam and odours. It is important this<br />

compromised air does not circulate around<br />

the house.<br />

Bathroom odours can be unpleasant,<br />

especially when near living, sleeping or<br />

working areas.<br />

The moisture generated by showers and<br />

baths can be damaging to your home and<br />

furnishings and be a major contribution<br />

to condensation. Damp houses are not a<br />

healthy environment for anyone to live in,<br />

especially for children or other vulnerable<br />

people.<br />

By extracting air from the bathroom to<br />

outside, warmer air from inside the house<br />

will move in to the bathroom. Whereas<br />

opening a window can draw cold air into<br />

the bathroom and blow the smelly, moisture<br />

laden bathroom air into the house.<br />

Modern houses are built to be very<br />

airtight and require mechanical ventilation<br />

such as extraction fans or heat exchanger<br />

systems. Although older houses can be<br />

draughty, the air often flows in the wrong<br />

direction. Therefore, they also usually<br />

require mechanical ventilation to keep the<br />

air quality higher.<br />

The quality of the air we breathe affects<br />

our health and ability to perform. We<br />

breathe in and out approximately 20,000<br />

litres of air every day. It is therefore very<br />

important to ensure good air quality<br />

indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

To ensure the quality of your air, contact<br />

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can<br />

calculate the required extraction for your<br />

bathrooms, and look into air exchange<br />

for your whole building. Smooth-<br />

Air offers a wide range of ventilation<br />

equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />

for fans, for both the commercial<br />

and domestic markets. They have an<br />

extensive range of fans and ventilation<br />

components in-store but they can also<br />

provide innovative solutions tailored<br />

to differing requirements. You can<br />

contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />

(0800 766684).<br />

Choosing the<br />

right heat pump<br />

for your home<br />

Are you struggling with the heat of<br />

Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />

Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />

of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />

advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />

represents great value for your investment<br />

as you can use it all year round. The team<br />

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you<br />

cool this Summer either at home or work.<br />

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services<br />

all the leading brands including Panasonic,<br />

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means<br />

our team can show you which system and<br />

brand will best suit your needs.<br />

With new regulations coming in for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />

now is a great time to beat the 1st of<br />

July deadline. Inadequate heating and<br />

ventilation can lead to mould growth and<br />

dampness in your property, leading to<br />

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy<br />

living environment. Providing a fixed<br />

heater with a higher heat output and lower<br />

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable<br />

your tenants to heat the area effectively.<br />

It will also discourage them from using<br />

unflued gas heaters which can make a<br />

house damp and mouldy.<br />

It is important to remember, when<br />

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />

warranty does not cover the installation<br />

and consumers could be responsible for<br />

any repair or damage caused to the system<br />

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s<br />

five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />

correct installation, and a demonstration<br />

so customers have an understanding on<br />

how it will best meet their needs.<br />

Love the life<br />

you choose<br />

When you move into a Summerset retirement village, you’re not just<br />

moving house – you’re joining a vibrant and welcoming community<br />

where you’ll feel completely at home.<br />

At Summerset we put you at the heart of everything<br />

we do, so you can enjoy the freedom of living the life<br />

you choose.<br />

Artist impression<br />

The perfect home is waiting for you. From villas and townhouses, to<br />

apartments – you’ll find a place to make your own. Our homes are<br />

accessible, high-quality, and there are no worries about maintenance or<br />

upkeep as we do it all for you. Pets are also welcome, and you can even<br />

go away on holiday knowing your home will be safe and secure. We’ll<br />

also make sure you’re aware of all costs, giving you the certainty that<br />

there won’t be any unexpected surprises.<br />

When it comes to activities and events, there’s always something<br />

happening to keep our Summerset community involved and<br />

entertained, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.<br />

If you need some extra care or support, our continuum of care means<br />

we’ll be there for you as your needs change, giving you the peace of<br />

mind to continue living life to its fullest.<br />

Over 5,000 residents are already enjoying the Summerset life across<br />

25 villages around New Zealand. If you’re interested in Summerset for<br />

yourself or a family member, come and visit one of our Christchurch<br />
