Pensioner ensures kids don’t get ‘rumbly tummy’<br />
it for up to 20 pupils at the<br />

The Bishopdale resident has<br />
been serving up free breakfasts<br />
to pupils for two years to help<br />
them engage in a full day of<br />
learning.<br />
Weet-bix, milk, fruit,<br />
scroggin and baked beans are<br />
some of the foods dished up by<br />
Mrs Mytton and teacher aide<br />
volunteer Sharon Cleverly each<br />
morning at 8.30am.<br />
“The kids are really well fed,<br />
which is wonderful,”said Mrs<br />
Mytton.<br />
“With full tummies, their<br />
brains engage and they start to<br />
learn. If they’ve got a rumbly<br />
tummy they aren’t going to<br />
learn anything because they’re<br />
focused on being hungry,” she<br />
said.<br />

$30,000<br />
Bishopdale<br />
Library bill<br />
falls on<br />
ratepayers<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
RATEPAYERS WILL foot<br />
the $30,000 bill to repair the<br />
Bishopdale Library floor.<br />
Shrinkage cracks, which are<br />
believed to have formed within<br />
the first two days of the slab being<br />
poured in 2017, will be fixed at<br />
the building’s entrance between<br />
Thursday and<br />
<strong>April</strong> 29.<br />
City council<br />
head of libraries<br />
and information<br />
Carolyn Robertson<br />
said because the<br />
contractor which<br />
built the library<br />
has been put into<br />
Carolyn<br />
Robertson<br />
liquidation, the city council will<br />
pay for the repairs.<br />
The damage became apparent<br />
late last year when plastic was<br />
removed from the slab.<br />
When the damage was reported<br />
by Nor’west <strong>News</strong> in January,<br />
it was unclear if the contractor<br />
would pay for the repairs.<br />
Ratepayers paid to rebuild the<br />
library in 2017, six years after the<br />
previous building was damaged<br />
in the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake. •Turn to page 5<br />

IT’S GREAT to see people giving back<br />
to the community. Lynne Mytton (front<br />
page) is one of them.<br />
The 67-year-old is a familiar face at<br />
Bishopdale School at 8.30am where she<br />
dishes up breakfast to pupils, with the help of teacher aide<br />
Sharon Cleverly.<br />
Lynne has lived in Bishopdale for many years. She recalls<br />
fondly serving breakfast at home to her own children before<br />
they headed off to the school.<br />
Times have changed though and many schools now serve up<br />
breakfast for pupils – but they need people like Lynne to help<br />
out.<br />
“With full tummies, their brains engage and they start to<br />
learn. If they’ve got a rumbly tummy they aren’t going to learn<br />
anything because they’re focused on being hungry,” she says.<br />
Good stuff.<br />

Pool group fails to get rates reprieve<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A BID FOR a rates remission<br />
at the site of planned Edgeware<br />
Pool has sunk.<br />
The St Albans Pavilion<br />
and Pool Group applied for a<br />
remission for the empty site on<br />
Edgeware Rd as its members<br />
have been paying<br />
from their own<br />
pockets since<br />
purchasing the<br />
land in 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
Rates<br />
remissions<br />
are granted to<br />
Karleen<br />
Edwards<br />
not-for-profit<br />
community<br />
organisations<br />
which provide a public good<br />
through the use of their land.<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Karleen Edwards declined the<br />
application from the group, which<br />
is a registered charity, as the land<br />
is not open for public use.<br />
St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
spokeswoman Valerie Somerville<br />
said the application was an<br />
attempt to relieve some pressure<br />
while the group tries to reinstate<br />
the pool, which was demolished<br />
in 2007.<br />
“We accept the reason for<br />
the council’s decision and are<br />
very grateful for the (Papanui-<br />
Innes) Community Board’s<br />
support in suggesting other<br />
PLANS: The St Albans Pavilion and Pool Group is paying rates for the empty land on Edgeware<br />
Rd where it plans to build the Edgeware Pool.<br />

options to apply for funding,”<br />
said Mrs Somerville.<br />
The community board received<br />
a letter from Dr Edwards<br />
informing members about the<br />
decision after it wrote to the city<br />
council in support of the group’s<br />
application.<br />
Dr Edwards acknowledged<br />
the group is doing good work<br />
and said the city council would<br />
be “happy to accept a further<br />
remission application once the<br />
site is open.”<br />
In 20<strong>16</strong>, the city council sold<br />
the land for the Edgeware Pool to<br />
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
Group for $1.<br />
The city council stated at the<br />
time it would not contribute to<br />
the project, but later said it would<br />
commit $1.25 million if the<br />
group could raise the rest of the<br />
$5 million cost.<br />
So far, about $170,000 has<br />
been raised for the project,<br />
which has been used to cover<br />
costs including resource consent<br />
and developing a design plan.<br />
The project is in its feasibility<br />
stage, which will assess the<br />
practicality of the pool designs<br />
and determine whether it is an<br />
asset to the community.<br />
After this, the group can apply<br />
for money from major charitable<br />
funding groups.<br />

Christchurch Central Police<br />

Parking limits should boost business<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
PARKING restrictions could<br />
lead to a much-needed boost in<br />
business for a block of shops in<br />
St Albans.<br />
Ten car parks on the northern<br />
side of Malvern St between<br />
Rutland and Gossett Sts will<br />
get 60min limits, while two<br />
car parks on Rutland St near<br />
the entrance to the Canterbury<br />
Rugby Union’s car park will get<br />
30min limits.<br />
The Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board approved the<br />
decision to put time restrictions<br />
on the car parks, which currently<br />
have no limit. It aims to provide<br />
higher turnover parking for<br />
customers using the Rutland St<br />
shops.<br />
Shop owners suffered a<br />
downturn in business in<br />
2017 after the installation of<br />
the Papanui Parallel Cycleway<br />
removed about 50 per cent of the<br />
car parks along Rutland St.<br />
There are currently only seven<br />
restricted 15min parking spaces<br />
outside six shops, the rest are allday<br />
car parks ,which are usually<br />
taken up by CRFU members and<br />
staff.<br />
Coco Gifts owner Liz van<br />
Monfort said she noticed a 20 to<br />
30 per cent downturn in business<br />
after the major cycle route was<br />
Bishopdale Library floor repairs to cost $30k<br />
•From page 1<br />
The $1.2 million library rebuild<br />
budget was increased by almost $2<br />
million to ensure the building was<br />
up to standard.<br />
In January, city council<br />
community libraries manager<br />
Erica Rankin said the cracks were<br />
considered safe but were being<br />
fixed as the damage was noticeable<br />
to visitors.<br />
She said there is a high<br />
likelihood of more shrinkage<br />
cracks in other parts of the<br />
building, but these could be<br />
covered by floor materials.<br />
Repairs were made to the floor of<br />

restricted parking spots outside her store.<br />

put in. “(The parks) will be a<br />
great boost for daily business,”<br />
said Ms van Monfort.<br />
Susan Ross, who owns the<br />
Susan Ross uniform shop, said<br />
parking has been a “nightmare”<br />
the assembly hall in January while<br />
the main library remained open.<br />
But the city council has<br />
decided to close the building<br />
while the entrance is fixed as the<br />
expected noise and dust would be<br />
unpleasant for the public.<br />
The closure is timed to<br />
coincide with the Easter and<br />
Anzac Day.<br />
Library items can still<br />
be returned to Bishopdale Library<br />
while the building is closed.<br />
The closest alternative libraries<br />
are the Papanui Library in<br />
Langdons Rd and Redwood<br />
Library in Main North Rd.<br />
and the changes are a positive<br />
outcome. Rutland St Dairy<br />
owner Jackson Zhang said he<br />
suffered a downturn of about<br />
40 to 50 per cent following the<br />
cycleway changes.<br />
Mr Zhang has also faced an<br />
ongoing problem with people<br />
disregarding the current 15min<br />
restrictions, so the board has<br />
asked the city council to consider<br />
enforcement signs.<br />
The city council sought<br />
feedback from affected residents<br />
and businesses on Rutland and<br />
Malvern Sts on the proposed<br />
changes in November and<br />
received 63 submissions. Of 44<br />
submissions which opposed the<br />
changes on Malvern St, 38 were<br />
from people associated with<br />
CRFU and the remaining six<br />
were unidentified. The majority<br />
of these submissions supported<br />
the changes to the two parks on<br />
Rutland St. One submission said<br />
60min was not long enough for<br />
people going to meetings or for<br />
training sessions at Rugby Park,<br />
while another said rugby players<br />
would need to park further away.<br />
City councillor Mike Davidson<br />
said the “strength in numbers” of<br />
the CRFU’s submissions needed<br />
to be taken into consideration<br />
when looking at the benefits to<br />
the wider community.<br />
A CRFU spokesperson said<br />
the “decision-making process is<br />
ultimately with the council.”<br />
Two other options were<br />
considered by the board –option<br />
one was to provide 10 60min<br />
car parks on Malvern St and six<br />
30min car parks on Rutland St,<br />
which would have removed all<br />
of the all-day parking between<br />
Innes Rd and Malvern St. Option<br />
three was to do nothing.<br />

Bilateral anal Gland SurGery<br />
Anal gland issues are<br />
common problems<br />
we see in our canine<br />
patients today. The<br />
anal gland has no<br />
real function except<br />
it’s the dogs “special<br />
scent” or parfum.<br />
This secretion has a<br />
distinctive fish smell<br />
to it making it very<br />
unpleasant for us,<br />
plus its heaving with<br />
bacteria! Not a good<br />
look or smell on the<br />
new sofa.<br />
Dogs present<br />
because of pain and anal irritation leading<br />
to scooting, licking or biting of the area.<br />
Often it’s too painful for these dogs to toilet<br />
so they become constipated. Severe cases<br />
become infected and the anal sacs swell and<br />
can eventually burst, discharging pus either<br />
outwardly or inwardly around the perineum.<br />
Occasionally anal sac fistulas develop which<br />
persist for ages. Impaction of anal sacs can<br />
lead to toxaemia and dermatitis. Some dogs<br />
present because they leak anal gland fluid<br />
constantly which becomes very difficult to live<br />
with if your dog is an indoor pet.<br />
No one really knows why anal glands become<br />
a problem. Some cases present due to<br />
diarrhoea, constipation or anal sphincter<br />
laxity. Some cases are related to anal duct<br />
obstruction which leads to infection,<br />
abscessation and sometimes rupture of the<br />
sac. Other cases are due to hypersecretion<br />
which can happen with food allergies, thyroid<br />
diseases and infectious skin disease.<br />
Whatever the cause, my job is to rectally<br />
express them which isn’t particularly nice for<br />
the patient as often by this stage they are<br />
painful. It is a procedure mostly I can perform<br />
awake.<br />
If the anal sacs are infected I either prescribe<br />
antibiotics systemically or I instill an antibiotic/<br />
anti-inflammatory ointment into the sacs for<br />
2-3 treatments. Sometimes a prescription food<br />
is recommended ( either for food allergies or<br />
a diet high in fiber) and revisits are advised to<br />
check the sacs.<br />
In chronic, recurring and difficult cases that<br />
don’t respond to<br />
medical therapy,<br />
often the best<br />
option is bilateral<br />
surgical removal.<br />
This option can<br />
completely eliminate<br />
the disease and<br />
make the owners<br />
and dogs’ life far<br />
more bearable. Dogs<br />
can live without<br />
these anal sacs – it’s<br />
just a fiddley surgery<br />
and great care has<br />
to be taken when<br />
working around the<br />
anus to avoid incontinence issues.<br />
I have had lots of practice removing anal<br />
glands over the past 30 years – so much so<br />
that I get referrals from other clinics.<br />
Juno, a young Labrador cross is having<br />
bilateral anal gland surgery. Juno presents<br />
every 2-3 months with anal glands that just<br />
leak and wreek everywhere. They are not<br />
infected nor painful to squeeze. She has<br />
received various medical treatments and is on<br />
a Royal Canin hypoallergenic diet, but nothing<br />
seems to help.<br />
The surgery takes roughly 60-90 minutes,<br />
because I am very careful around this delicate<br />
area. Juno is maintained throughout the<br />
surgery on intravenous fluids and Megan<br />
my surgical nurse is monitoring all her vitals<br />
(heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, body<br />
temperature and oxygen saturation) to ensure<br />
a safe anaesthetic and quick recovery.<br />
Juno was a star patient and the two anal<br />
glands were removed. She was discharged<br />
on antibiotics, pain medications and local<br />
anaesthetic cream to apply to the surgical<br />
area. I recommended an E collar to wear<br />
initially to stop her worrying her surgical site<br />
and a soft diet 5 days post surgery.<br />
My advice is – don’t struggle with this<br />
problem in your family cat or dog as it’s<br />
not going away. These glands have no vital<br />
function and can be removed safely and<br />
effectively in the right surgical hands, leading<br />
to a better quality life without the nasty<br />
smells!!<br />

THE WHEELS are<br />

business owners, church<br />
members, community<br />
workers and Papanui-<br />

right time to reform a<br />
community group. “There<br />
is a real hunger to see what<br />

any interest in restarting a<br />
group, which would meet<br />
regularly to talk about<br />
Redwood.<br />
Ms Hume was “really<br />
surprised” with the<br />
turnout. The group talked<br />
about the area’s needs –<br />
including a community<br />
hall, adequate facilities,<br />
more resources, events<br />
and making the suburb<br />
enjoyable for young people.<br />
She said there was<br />
a positive discussion<br />
about “the importance of<br />
ensuring Redwood is a<br />
welcoming, inclusive place<br />
for people to live”.<br />
Creating a more<br />
village-like area has been<br />
suggested as a result of the<br />

Corridor’s effects.<br />

her grandchildren were at<br />
Bishopdale School.<br />
When Mrs Cleverly<br />
asked Mrs Mytton to help<br />
her start up the breakfast<br />
club in 2017, she jumped on<br />
board.<br />
“I love seeing the kids<br />
laughing and happy<br />
because they are being fed<br />
and it’s so nice seeing them<br />
interacting around the<br />

About 20<br />
people<br />
were at the<br />
Christchurch<br />
Function<br />
Centre for<br />
the first<br />
Redwood<br />
Business and<br />
Residents’<br />
Association<br />
meeting.<br />
Ms Hume said the group<br />
is due to meet again in a<br />
month to discuss how it<br />
will move ahead and there<br />
will be an opportunity for<br />
people to step forward into<br />
leadership roles.<br />
No capital projects are<br />
planned for Redwood in<br />
the city council’s Long<br />
Term Plan 2018-2028.<br />
But city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson said the<br />
group can partner with<br />
the community board to<br />
advocate to the council.<br />
“The group can use this<br />
as an opportunity to see<br />
what’s needed,” said Cr<br />
Davidson. <br />
When the previous<br />
association was active,<br />
it was instrumental in<br />
keeping the Redwood<br />
Library open, making<br />
traffic improvements and<br />
the ensuring Graham<br />
Condon Recreation and<br />
Sports Centre was built.<br />

“It’s very rewarding.<br />
You’re helping them in a<br />
small way but it makes a<br />
big impact.”<br />
Bishopdale School<br />
principal Sue Fisher is<br />
thankful to have volunteers<br />
who run the programme.<br />
“We have to thank them<br />
wholeheartedly for their<br />
time. They take the time<br />

“It’s fresh and it feels like home”<br />
Colleen Shah loves the<br />
ease with which she can<br />
keep in close contact with<br />
friends and extended family,<br />
while living at Ngaio Marsh<br />
Retirement Village.<br />
Her apartment offers a<br />
beautiful view out to the<br />
village gardens, and is located<br />
in a quiet part of Papanui in<br />
the heart of Christchurch.<br />
Colleen can easily drive to<br />
Merivale and other nearby city<br />
suburbs, before returning to<br />
the sanctuary of her serviced<br />
apartment. “It’s clean and it’s<br />
fresh and it feels like home.”<br />
Home is important to<br />
her. Colleen has had an<br />
adventuresome life including<br />
living for a good spell in<br />
India, where she mixed with<br />
politicians and diplomats.<br />
She originally trained in<br />
Wellington in the diplomatic<br />
service and was posted to New<br />
Delhi. Her husband Vinay<br />
Shah, who was an aspiring<br />
politician, died in a plane<br />
crash in 1976. In her serviced<br />
apartment she has a photo<br />
album of her wedding day<br />
on Christmas Eve 1969. The<br />
photo of her table of guests<br />
including such dignitaries as<br />
Indira Gandhi.<br />
Colleen previously worked<br />
in foreign affairs in Wellington<br />
before that posting, but<br />
remains a Cantabrian at heart.<br />
She likes the options of<br />
either joining in community<br />
activities, relaxing at home<br />
or heading out for an<br />
appointment or to see friends.<br />
Her own family, including<br />
Serviced apartment resident Colleen Shah with sales advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson<br />
her daughter who lives in<br />
Perth, know she is in a lovely<br />
environment and can choose<br />
to visit her whenever they<br />
want. She has two stepchildren<br />
living in India.<br />
The staff at the village<br />
have completely won her<br />
over with their charm and<br />
caring attitude.<br />
The village provides<br />
independent living in a<br />
townhouse, assisted living in<br />
serviced apartments, and the<br />
very best of resthome and<br />
hospital care. The village is<br />
peaceful and conveniently<br />
located close to both Merivale<br />
and Northlands malls and the<br />
central city.<br />
Facilities include an allweather<br />
bowling green, indoor<br />
heated swimming pool, spa,<br />
atrium, gym, hair salon, bar,<br />
library and shop. “I spend<br />
a lot of time in the library<br />
here, which is a nice part<br />
of the central building. I’m<br />
often sitting there reading<br />
The Press.”<br />
Outside is the croquet lawn<br />
and of course the gardens.<br />
“One of the wonderful things<br />
about the village has been the<br />
display of impatiens owers in<br />
pink and orange. Our residents<br />
can see these brilliant colours,<br />
and they take pleasure in<br />
being able to see owers when<br />
they go out,” Colleen says.<br />
Colleen says the facilities are<br />
great and the gardens give a<br />
real sense of space and beauty<br />
to the living environment. She<br />
also loves the quality of the<br />
meals provided in the village.<br />
She had previously lived in<br />
her own apartment in Carlton<br />
Mill Road, then made a move<br />
to a central village before<br />
coming to Ngaio Marsh.<br />
She is very happy to<br />
have two friends from<br />
her last village now living<br />
on the same serviced<br />
apartment floor as her. Sales<br />
Advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson<br />
says Ngaio Marsh is a very<br />
attractive option for people<br />
looking at retirement villages,<br />
particularly given its<br />
central location.<br />
It has a great layout<br />
including beautiful green<br />
spaces to provide both a visual<br />
delight and space for the<br />
village community to enjoy<br />
outdoor events. “It’s spacious<br />
and there are a good number<br />
of walks near the village,”<br />
Marie says.<br />
“There’s a walk that goes<br />
right up the west edge of the<br />
village up to Northlands Mall,<br />
and there’s another great walk<br />
that takes them to a café.”<br />
Although the village is<br />
close to a lot of amenities, it’s<br />
tucked away location means<br />
that residents enjoy peace and<br />
quiet in a friendly community.<br />
Studio serviced<br />
apartment<br />
available now!<br />
Have the independence of your<br />
own home, and a little extra help with<br />
meals and housekeeping.<br />

THE CHRISTCHURCH City<br />
Chorus has its sights set on New<br />
Orleans.<br />
The choir of 140 women will<br />
represent New Zealand at the Sweet<br />
Adelines International competition<br />
in the United States in September<br />
after winning the national heat for<br />
the 11th time.<br />
It won’t be the first time the group<br />
has performed at the competition –<br />
the choir has previously taken the<br />
stage in San Antonio, Hawaii and<br />
Indianapolis in the United States, as<br />
well as Calgary, Canada.<br />
In its most recent trip to Las Vegas<br />
in 20<strong>16</strong>, the choir finished fifth in<br />
the world at the competition.<br />
But director Virginia Humphrey<br />
is hoping to do better at this year’s<br />
competition.<br />
Coaches will fly over from Los<br />
Angeles, Sweden and Seattle to train<br />
the choir before it heads to New<br />
Orleans.<br />
Mrs Humphrey said the group<br />
could go every year if it wanted but<br />
aims for every three years due to<br />
the high cost of the trip. The choir<br />
will showcase jazz, popular New<br />
Zealand music, ballads and swing at<br />
a southern-style-themed fundraiser<br />
on <strong>April</strong> 28.<br />
The money raised will go towards<br />
accommodating two Swedish singing<br />
coaches during the trip, hiring<br />
stage equipment and flying props<br />
over.<br />
The choir will donate 10 per cent<br />
of its proceeds to the Muslim Association<br />
of Canterbury after the<br />
March 15 terror attack.<br />
The group will be judged on<br />
sound, music, expression and showmanship<br />
at the competition.<br />
Mrs Humphrey formed the group<br />
in 1985 after being part of a barbershop<br />
chorus in Canada.<br />
“I loved it so much I came home<br />
and started a chorus here,” she said.<br />
The group has since won every<br />
national competition it has entered<br />
since 1987.<br />
The fundraiser on <strong>April</strong> 28 will<br />
showcase two a cappella shows at<br />
2pm and 7pm at Harmony Church,<br />
220 Antigua St.<br />

hygge at home<br />
[pronounced hue-guh ]<br />
It’s definitely got me thinking. This month instead of<br />
writing (which to me is talking) about property in its<br />
usual commercial and clinical way, I’ve decided to<br />
explore the deeply satisfying concept of what a home<br />
is. What makes us rush home, why some homes<br />
engage you at every level and how this deep sense of<br />
comfort and safety are important because they are.<br />
Last year I was introduced to the concept of Hygge.<br />
Usually I struggle with concepts with words I find<br />
difficult to say but this word stems from the Danish<br />
representation of what is “cozy”.<br />
It’s not a formal method of living, it doesn’t dictate or judge, it<br />
merely encourages you to know or find what is comforting and meaningful<br />
then ensuring the essence of this is part of your home life.<br />
The consistent elements of this sit as easily in a Kiwi lifestyle as a<br />
Scandinavian one and includes: enjoying or being close to nature, creating<br />
intimate cozy spaces, having meaningful items in your home rather than<br />
massive amounts of stuff or clutter (that’s me challenged!) and finding joy in<br />
the simple things.<br />
With all of this in mind, I thought I’d share some of my own Hygge<br />
interpretations and ways in which I enjoy bringing a strong sense of home<br />
and family into my life.<br />
• Blankets, I love them everywhere and not just for decoration but for<br />
warmth, snuggling and occasionally as a quick cloak walking from one part<br />
of the house to another.<br />
• Big couches that you can lie on or fall asleep in. Not those tiny little things<br />
that you just fit on with your back straight and your feet tucked in.<br />
• Candles, flowers and lamps. No surprises here and if there’s nothing<br />
at the markets I’ll forage leaves and random bits of greenery. All of these<br />
provide me with a sense of peace and respite.<br />
• Pictures of my family, if there was a fire I’d grab my framed pictures and<br />
feel grateful.<br />
There you are. I live much of my life in the world of real estate.<br />
I’m constantly interpreting or being asked to explain its nuances.<br />
The Christchurch market going into winter, this winter needs a clear head<br />
and a strong sense of purpose that’s why celebrating the gentle rhythms of<br />
your own home is important for me and no doubt you.<br />
Happy <strong>April</strong>, try Hygge.<br />

It’s<br />
happening<br />
at the...<br />
Bishopdale Village Mall<br />
Popular pharmacy<br />
offers much more<br />
than expected<br />
As residents of Bishopdale and the<br />
surrounding areas know, they can rely on<br />
the friendly pharmacists and retail team at<br />
Unichem Bishopdale Pharmacy for all their<br />
pharmaceutical needs as well as health,<br />
personal care and beauty products and<br />
advice.<br />
However, there is much more on offer at<br />
this popular pharmacy, with one of their<br />
key features being the extensive selection of<br />
fashion scarves.<br />
“We are well-known for our scarves<br />
and we sell hundreds every month,” says<br />
business owner Maria, who runs the<br />
pharmacy in partnership with Amanda and<br />
Anna.<br />
“Our retail manager goes to three gift<br />
fairs a year and sources the very latest in<br />
colours and designs for our customers.<br />
They are mostly one-offs, however there is<br />
often the potential to re-order if a customer<br />
misses out on a particular one they like.”<br />
A number of the retail team members<br />
have particular talents for colour matching,<br />
and can help customers choose the<br />
right scarf for their personal style and<br />
colouring, and also show them different<br />
ways to tie and wear scarves, Maria says.<br />
Prices range from $11.99 up to $100 for<br />
the most luxurious designs, with most of<br />
the scarves priced around $20.<br />
A new range of ponchos has arrived at<br />
Unichem Bishopdale – just in time for<br />
the cooler weather. Priced from $30 to<br />
$120 these come in a variety of fabrics and<br />
shades, including merino, and are a very<br />
popular, easy-to-wear fashion item.<br />
Another reason why customers keep<br />
coming back to Unichem Bishopdale is<br />
their extensive range of gift items.<br />
“The feedback we get from people is that<br />
they always seem to find what they want,<br />
and in their price range,” Maria says.<br />
Added to that is the complementary<br />
gift-wrapping service, she says.<br />
“Customers can walk in, find just what<br />
they’re looking for, have it beautifully<br />
gift-wrapped and walk out ready to go.”<br />
When it comes to health and wellness,<br />
Beautiful Scarves<br />
foreveryone<br />
• Fabulous range of colours<br />
• Affordable prices, $11.99-$100.00<br />
• New season’s ponchos<br />
Be in quick – won’t last<br />
long at these prices!<br />
Bishopdale Pharmacy<br />

products, particularly the Go Healthy<br />
range, including Glucosamine, Magnesium<br />
and Fish Oils, which they are proud to be<br />
able to offer their customers at some of the<br />
best prices in town.<br />
Glucosamine can assist with joint<br />
mobility, Magnesium has a number of<br />
potential benefits including improvement<br />
to muscle, bone and nerve health, while<br />
Fish Oils can improve joint, heart and<br />
mental function.<br />
If you are unsure what products would<br />
be most helpful for you, have a chat to<br />
the team. They have the knowledge and<br />
understanding of a range of natural health<br />
products to provide the right advice for<br />
every individual.<br />

Ma Baker - your local<br />
Kiwi bakery<br />
They say that if you want to know the<br />
best place to find a great bakery, follow the<br />
locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale,<br />
you’ll find both the residents and those<br />
working in the area are regularly heading<br />
straight for Ma Baker.<br />
Their yummy food options in-store can<br />
be described as honest Kiwi tucker and<br />
there’s something for everyone. Everything<br />
is baked daily by their team of bakers, from<br />
the fresh bread displayed in store which<br />
is also used in their sandwiches and rolls,<br />
to their delicious and so-moreish cream<br />
cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot<br />
to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with<br />
friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with<br />
someone special, or for tradies to fill up<br />
on their large selection of pies, stuffed<br />
sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and<br />
they can be comfortable knowing they are a<br />
tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It<br />
is also a popular spot for business people to<br />
hold casual weekly meetings.<br />
When cooking a meal is too much after<br />
a busy day, parents can select something<br />
from their large deli-bars and take home<br />
large-sized bacon and egg or family meat<br />
pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow<br />
– their budget-friendly prices mean that<br />
take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be<br />

Year 7 to 10 learn Te Reo Maori.<br />
We encourage our students to strive<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
All New for Avonside<br />
at Ōrua Paeroa<br />
A new school, a<br />
new location, and a<br />
new uniform! What<br />
a fabulous year for<br />
Avonside Girls’ High<br />
school as a new chapter<br />
in the school’s 90 plus<br />
year history is written<br />
this year. As Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School moves into its new<br />
home on Travis Road at the beginning of<br />
term 2, it will take with it its traditions,<br />
culture, history and values and its focus<br />
on working with every student to help<br />
her identify her strengths and develop<br />
her talents so that she can flourish in her<br />
future.<br />
Just over 1000 girls will move onto the<br />
new site in Travis Road and experience<br />
learning in New Zealand’s newest<br />
secondary school buildings. The campus<br />
which also includes a satellite unit of<br />
Ferndale School, is New Zealand’s first<br />
ever co-location of a state girls’ school and<br />
a state boys’ school sharing the same site<br />
and some key facilities and yet delivering<br />
teaching and learning within their own<br />
single-sex learning environments.<br />
One look inside the impressive entrance<br />
foyer reveals an exciting campus with<br />
fabulous facilities to enhance learning for<br />
students.<br />
In the front section of the school lie the<br />
shared facilities, boasting the reception<br />
and administrative centre for both<br />
schools, a spacious library, a cultural<br />
space, two theatres, a cafeteria with indoor<br />
and outdoor seating, and student kitchen<br />
facilities alongside a commercial kitchen<br />
for teaching senior Hospitality courses.<br />
The design of the school then separates<br />
into two separate schools each designed<br />
around its own courtyard. The school<br />
is organised by learning areas, denoting<br />
the school’s support of subject discipline<br />
knowledge and skills, yet with adjacencies<br />
that provide opportunities for learning<br />
to be connected across learning areas for<br />
students.<br />
Avonside supports the development<br />
of the whole student with a strong<br />
ako programme delivered within a<br />
vertical form structure and wonderful<br />
opportunities for involvement beyond<br />
classroom learning time. The superb<br />
facilities in the new campus certainly<br />
enhance those opportunities for our<br />
students.<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School has<br />
embraced this opportunity to provide this<br />
exciting new brand of 21st century style<br />
single-sex education – the best of both<br />
worlds!<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
at Ōrua Paeroa<br />
Finally after 8 years<br />
of unstinting effort,<br />
Shirley Boys’ is in its<br />
new home, one that<br />
features state of the art<br />
facilities for teaching<br />
and learning in the 21st<br />
Century.<br />
The new<br />
campus features a<br />
Performing Arts Centre, full size all<br />
weather turf, sports fields, the largest<br />
school gymnasium in the city as well<br />
as traditional classrooms and modern<br />
flexible spaces designed to meet the needs<br />
of all of its 1250 young Shirley men.<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School,<br />
Kiwi Soul Global Vision<br />
At Shirley Boys’ High School, students<br />
are encouraged to participate in a vast<br />
array of sporting and cultural activities<br />
and in all of these areas they are expected<br />
to prepare themselves for action and<br />
success on the world stage, while also<br />
being encouraged to retain and strengthen<br />
their own cultural roots.<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School encourages<br />
students to strive for personal excellence.<br />
Learning occurs both inside and outside<br />
the classroom, reflecting the desire of the<br />
school to focus on teaching the whole<br />
person to ensure a lifelong desire for<br />
self-improvement. At Shirley Boys’ this<br />
is known as “BTB – Better than Before”.<br />
BTB leads to achievement, which can<br />
be as modest as getting fit for a sport or<br />
improving a test score or learning to sing<br />
in a choir. BTB can also be as spectacular<br />
as achieving a Premier New Zealand<br />
Academic Scholar Award (awarded to the<br />
Top 10 academic students in NZ).

Medbury School: Preparing boys for life in the 21st century<br />
Medbury School is the only independent<br />
boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an<br />
education for both dayboys<br />
and boarders from Years 1 to<br />
8. Medbury offers a traditional<br />
education, encompassing the<br />
Medbury values of manners<br />
and respect, and its vision is<br />
to provide an education which<br />
prepares boys for life in the<br />
21st Century.<br />
Whilst placing a high<br />
value on Literacy and<br />
Numeracy in a ‘boys-only’<br />
learning environment, Medbury also<br />
believes in helping boys develop as<br />
Choosing the<br />
right school for<br />
your Tamariki<br />
When choosing the right school for our<br />
tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ we have<br />
when we visit, as much as by the programmes<br />
that schools have on offer. The world demands<br />
fewer people who can do repetitive tasks and<br />
more people who can think creatively and<br />
critically. That’s why our vision, our aspiration,<br />
as a school is to be ‘A centre of creative<br />
excellence’ in everything that we do, whether<br />
visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,<br />
management or curriculum organisation. In<br />
doing this we haven’t forgotten the importance<br />
of the strong relationships that we build with<br />
all of our students, and the importance of<br />
individualising learning pathways so that<br />
we come as close as we can to meeting every<br />
individual student’s needs. Hornby High<br />
School’s feeling is one of positive relationships<br />
that support learning. Students often comment<br />
that we feel like whānau, like family. This all<br />
takes place within our amazing new facilities,<br />
some of the most modern in the country.<br />
These facilities are allowing us to develop a<br />
curriculum that caters for individual needs,<br />
that supports student passions, and helps<br />
our students to grow their heart for their<br />
community, while emphasising our values<br />
and promoting the ethos of kindness, of<br />
manaaki. We are also committed to engaging<br />
with whānau in any and every way we can. I<br />
personally invite you to come along and meet<br />
with our skilled staff, and the amazing young<br />
people who make Hornby High School such a<br />
wonderful place to be.<br />
Robin Sutton - Principal<br />
confident individuals, and developing<br />
personal attributes, such as organisation,<br />
confidence, relationships with others,<br />
and independence.<br />
At Medbury, the focus is<br />
on the ‘whole boy’, and small<br />
class sizes enable teachers to<br />
deliver a personalised learning<br />
programme, ensuring that every<br />
boy has the support, extension and<br />
encouragement he needs to discover<br />
and develop his particular strengths.<br />
The learning programmes are all<br />
focused on a boy’s way of learning,<br />
providing them with a structured<br />
environment, with competition,<br />

understand each boy’s opportunities and<br />
challenges, then personalise an education<br />
which encourages him to strive to be the<br />

Middleton Grange School was<br />
established in 1964 with the aim of<br />
providing a first rate general education<br />
and biblically based teaching in the<br />
Christian faith. We see learning not<br />
as an end in itself but something that<br />
happens alongside the development of<br />
character and a desire to serve God by<br />
serving others.<br />
We look forward to seeing our young<br />
people excelling in academic, sporting,<br />
cultural and service activities with a<br />
sense of personal achievement. We also<br />
want them to identify the strengths,<br />
skills, talents and abilities that God has<br />
put within each one of them, not just<br />
for their personal benefit, but for the<br />
benefit of the communities that they<br />
live in. Serving others with compassion<br />
and kindness is part of the ‘DNA’ of<br />
Middleton Grange School. We want our<br />
young people to engage in the society<br />
and culture that they live in, to be a<br />
positive influence and to point others to<br />
God by their example.<br />
We appreciate the hard work that<br />
staff and students put into producing<br />
top academic results, but what we value<br />
even more highly is wisdom, character,<br />
integrity and a willingness to help and<br />
encourage others.<br />

and values form the basis of a holistic<br />
education at the College. We aim not<br />
to make the College great but to ensure<br />
every boy has the opportunity to be great,<br />
and we endeavour to develop young men<br />
of Catholic hearts and minds through the<br />
experiences the boys have in their time<br />
here at the College.<br />
St Bede’s is a College for all…a place<br />
where gospel values are practised to<br />
help form principled men; a learning<br />
environment where everyone achieves;<br />
a place that teachers want to come<br />
to because of the strength of the<br />
community; a place also, where boys can<br />
embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural and<br />
community activities, which all combined<br />
shape boys into men. That’s the priority<br />
and that is in our DNA.<br />
We welcome parents and boys to the<br />
College’s Open Day on Wednesday 8 May<br />
between 9.00am – noon, where you will<br />
have the opportunity to tour the College<br />
and meet staff and students.<br />
Parents are also invited to attend the<br />
Information Evening, commencing at<br />
7.00pm, where Senior Management and<br />
students will provide further information<br />
about the College.

“Our aim is simple... to<br />
provide the best education<br />
possible for every student”<br />
Giving students the<br />
opportunity to study from<br />
an innovative and broad<br />
curriculum is critical to<br />
providing each student a<br />
pathway that meets their<br />
individual needs. We allow<br />
for a greater range and<br />
flexibility in subject choice<br />
including the utilization<br />
of the secondary/tertiary<br />
interface. This reinforces the<br />
philosophy underpinning<br />
personalised learning and<br />
is strongly supported by<br />
understanding our students’<br />
interests, passions, talents,<br />
and ultimately their career<br />
aspirations.<br />
We understand that for effective<br />
learning to take place, it has to be<br />
implemented in such a way that students<br />
will be highly engaged. The school<br />
does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by<br />
creating learning environments that allow<br />
our students to see value in what they do<br />
and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what<br />
we represent and we demonstrate this by<br />
having young adults leave our school as<br />
confident learners who have gained the<br />
appropriate qualifications and social skills<br />
to become valued contributing members<br />
of society.<br />
All that we do here is reinforced by<br />
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and<br />
high expectations – what we call “Our<br />
Full service Model”. The school highly<br />
values the connectedness of curricular<br />
and co-curricular learning. We have a<br />
philosophical understanding that the<br />
holistic development of the student is<br />
critical to their individual success.<br />
The school has worked hard to<br />
consolidate recent initiatives to ensure<br />
sustained and continuous improvement.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />
Center found those most deficient<br />
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />
brain mass and the lowest scores on<br />
tests measuring short-term memory,<br />
concentration and brain performance.<br />
Another study showed that older people<br />
with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />
have bigger, healthier brains and score<br />
higher on cognitive tests than those with<br />
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark<br />
study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain<br />
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.<br />
B12 is essential for energy production, cell<br />
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,<br />
nerve health and repair, and prevention<br />
of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />
risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />
and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />
researchers found<br />
a 34% decrease<br />
risk of vision<br />
loss in a study<br />
of participants<br />
aged 40+ who<br />
supplemented with<br />
B12. Another study<br />
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?<br />
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,<br />
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs<br />
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. Supplementation of<br />
methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain shrinkage & support memory &<br />
brain function. B12 is also known to protect against homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk<br />
factor that can also damage the hearing, eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy,<br />
cell health & nerve function.<br />

• Memory & Brain Performance<br />

shrinkage<br />
• Energy & Recovery<br />

• Vegetarian’s Diet<br />
• Helps protect blood vessels from<br />

• Cardiovascular Health<br />
• Eye sight - Study showed a 34%<br />
decrease risk of vision loss in<br />
those supplemented with B12<br />
• Hearing loss - Study linked a higher<br />
risk of hearing loss in subjects in<br />
their 60s who were low in B12<br />
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12<br />
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />
it declining with age as the digestive<br />
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />
medication and other drugs further reduce<br />
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and<br />
thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />
the body.<br />

The tree of LIFE<br />
New research on Gingko<br />
Biloba excites researchers!<br />
For decades scientists believed brain<br />
damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />
was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />
not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />
new research has shown that neurons<br />
can grow back with the right conditions<br />
and that a special extract of Gingko<br />
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />
been clinically found to assist in this.<br />
The implications for stroke recovery are<br />
obvious, but researchers also know many<br />
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />
that over a period of time slowly<br />
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />
is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />
supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />
cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />
mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />
alertness, motor function and to help<br />
with many conditions including tinnitus<br />
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />
micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />
flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />
the red blood cells more pliable and<br />
capillary walls more flexible.<br />
TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />
studied and researched herbal products in<br />
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />
extract manufactured via a patented<br />
multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />
tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />
clinical dose without having to take a large<br />
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />
products on the market, and tested by a<br />
major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />
passed all five of the test requirements.<br />
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />
and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />
the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />
to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />
considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />
of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />
consumed each day.<br />

whilst under a program of RED LED light treatments after<br />
their surgery and injuries, which led them to study colour.<br />

Adult and community<br />
education at Risingholme<br />
Community Centre<br />
There are exciting times ahead for<br />
Risingholme Community Centre,<br />
as we prepare to re occupy the<br />
Risingholme Homestead, situated<br />
in the Risingholme Park in Opawa.<br />
This occasion will be marked with a<br />
Mayoral Opening on Wednesday 5th<br />
June and a Community Open Day<br />
will take place on Saturday 8th June<br />
when members of the community<br />
are welcome to come and have a<br />
look at the refurbished facilities.<br />
Risingholme Community Centre<br />
continues to offer a wide range of<br />
exciting learning opportunities across the<br />
city. With the start of term 2 on Monday<br />
6th May and winter approaching why not<br />
enrol in one of our exciting classes – www.<br />
risingholme.org.nz<br />
Risingholme’s strong focus on language<br />
development continues with a wide range<br />
of languages courses at a variety of levels<br />
– ESOL, German, Italian, Russian, Sign<br />
Language, Spanish and Te Reo Maori.<br />
Risingholme’s traditional base of art and<br />
craft courses continues to flourish with a<br />
full range available at a number of venues.<br />

Looking after each other<br />
and ourselves<br />
This Autumn the WEA is offering a<br />
range of courses with the emphasis on<br />
self and social care. We recognise that<br />
having opportunities to listen deeply to<br />
one another, and to come together around<br />
a shared activity or experience are vital<br />
parts of building a safe and connected<br />
community. It is also true that to look after<br />
others we must first look after ourselves. It<br />
can be as simple as building time into our<br />
busy lives for things that feed us: perhaps an<br />
artistic or musical pursuit, learning a new<br />
language, or practicing meditation. With<br />
a range of over 40 courses from Middle<br />
Eastern Dance to Understanding the Treaty<br />
in <strong>2019</strong>, Foraging to Rethinking Mental<br />
Health and a welcoming and enthusiastic<br />
community of learners, there is lots to gain<br />
from a course at the WEA and we would<br />
love to see you there.<br />
computing, guitar and photography, as well<br />
as many others.<br />

Tyres, rims and even<br />
great coffee<br />
Word of mouth is the best<br />
recommendation for any business, and there<br />
is a raft of customers happy to recommend<br />
JCM Direct Tyres in Middleton. The<br />
independent, family-owned and operated<br />
business supplies tyres, mags and rims and<br />
it is clear from their feedback that they<br />
provide ‘outstanding customer service,’<br />
‘really know what they are doing,’ and even<br />
provide ‘tasty coffee.’<br />
Reviews like these are hard-won, with<br />
the emphasis being on making sure they<br />
go the extra mile to really meet the needs<br />
of the client. As an independent dealer,<br />
they are not tied to a specific brand.<br />
Instead, they will look at your vehicle,<br />
your budget and your driving style to<br />
provide you with what you need instead<br />
of what the franchise wants you to have.<br />
This can be brand new tyres such as Pirelli,<br />
Continental, GT Radial and Nankang, or<br />
high end, almost-new second hand tyres<br />
in mint condition, often the same brand<br />
names as the new options. The JCM team<br />
wants to know their customers are leaving<br />
them with their vehicles, from caravans to<br />
utes, that are safe on the roads.<br />
They will give you their honest opinion<br />
and expertise about what you need too.<br />
It could be more cost effective in the long<br />
run to spend a little more a quality tyre and<br />
reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden<br />
City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a<br />
puncture, they can repair it quickly and<br />
efficiently.<br />
It is not only tyres – they supply rims<br />
from the 1930s to the present day. If you<br />
are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle,<br />
you will know how difficult it can be to<br />
find authentic parts, and the JCM team will<br />
help you source what you need.<br />
They also provide alloy wheels, spare<br />
wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages<br />
to make their excellent products even more<br />
affordable. They are even able to help you<br />
with finance options.<br />
Open six days a week, you can find<br />
them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the<br />
corner with Hands Road. Check them<br />
out on Facebook.com/JCMDirect, or<br />
visit JCMDirect.co.nz to see what their<br />
family can do to help your family.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
The<br />
importance<br />
of air quality<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
The quality of the air we breathe<br />
affects our health and ability to<br />
perform. We breathe in and out<br />
approximately 20,000 litres of<br />
air every day. It is therefore very<br />
important to ensure good air<br />
quality indoors through adequate<br />
ventilation. Ventilation is the<br />
process of air exchange to provide<br />
the necessary air quality that meets<br />
the needs of the occupants for clean,<br />
fresh air. Low oxygen with high<br />
carbon dioxide causes stuffiness<br />
in the room and occupants can<br />
feel drowsy. Invisible harmful<br />
substances like a high content of<br />
dust and tobacco smoke are harmful<br />
and can cause various diseases. Even<br />
bad smells can cause discomfort<br />
or irritate the nervous system. In<br />
summer, it’s easy to open windows<br />
for cross ventilation, however as<br />
winter approaches, we start to shut<br />
up out houses to trap in the heat and<br />
as a result, air quality can decline.<br />
Ventilation includes both the<br />
exchange of air to the outside as<br />
well as circulation of air within<br />
the building. It is one of the<br />
most important factors for maintaining<br />
acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.<br />
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live and work. In<br />
case of poor or insufficient air intake from<br />
outside, the oxygen content decreases,<br />
humidity and dustiness levels increase. If<br />
exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is<br />
not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity<br />
and harmful substances are not removed.<br />
To ensure the quality of your air, contact<br />
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can<br />
calculate the required air exchange for<br />
your building requirement.<br />
Smooth-Air offers a wide range<br />
of ventilation equipment, from<br />
air vents to ducting for fans,<br />
for both the commercial and<br />
domestic markets. They have<br />
an extensive range of fans and<br />
ventilation components instore<br />
but they can also provide<br />
innovative solutions tailored to<br />
differing requirements.<br />
You can contact Smooth-Air on<br />
0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684).<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 />
