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 />

Loves of our Lives<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 />

MacDonald<br />
presented two<br />
trophies and<br />
a certificate<br />

and Janet<br />

night.<br />
the high standard of all<br />
the gardens chosen by the<br />
judges. The effort and time<br />
that goes into so many gardens<br />
across our community are<br />
remarkable.”<br />
Mr MacDonald said he<br />
was glad to see a certificate of<br />
appreciation go to Rangi Ruru<br />
Preschool for its edible garden<br />
which promotes the message of<br />
healthy eating and how to grow<br />
vegetables.<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 />

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 />

you.<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 />

Buccaline to prevent coughs and colds,<br />
through all the natural remedies available<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 />

creating a great culture<br />
and style of play that is<br />
taught throughout all<br />
our teams. These players<br />
will be experiencing<br />
a top, internationallycompetitive<br />
coaching<br />
environment,” said Mr<br />
King.<br />
As an additional<br />
opportunity for the girls<br />
attending the camp,<br />
OPPORTUNITY:<br />
Ashlee<br />
Strawbridge will<br />
join St Andrew’s<br />
College<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 />
he said.<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 />
