Lynne Mytton served up<br />

sending them off to Bishopdale<br />

Pensioner ensures kids don’t get ‘rumbly tummy’<br />

it for up to 20 pupils at the<br />

school every day.<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 />

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 />

Veterinary practice<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 />

meeting to see if there was<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 />

Christchurch Northern<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 />

DISCUSSION:<br />

About 20<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 />

“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 />

“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 />

Priced at $335,000<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 />

Unichem Bishopdale values natural health<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 />

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).

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

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 />

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 it is also the only Catholic boarding<br />

school for boys in the South Island.<br />

Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles<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 />

• 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 />

Doctors then noticed patients started looking younger<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 />

They include fabrics, woodwork skills, cake<br />

decorating, health & fitness and well-being,<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 />

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 />
