Two-year wait for water tank
Space issues
further delay
$2.6m project
PUMP:

the new water
tank at Jeffreys
Reserve.
• By Jess Gibson
A CONTROVERSIAL multimillion
dollar water tank in the
heart of Fendalton has been hit
with a two-year delay.
The preliminary design
phase for the Jeffreys Reserve
suction tank is taking longer
than expected due to space
constraints at
the site, which
has pushed the
completion
date out to May
2020.
The 500
cu m tank will
replace the
Sam
MacDonald
current
200 cu m
earthquakedamaged
tank, which supplies
water to the city’s north-west.
City council head of three
waters and waste John Moore
said the space constraint issues
will be remedied once the eastern
wing of the current, un-used
pump station is demolished.
A larger area is needed around
the site to provide space for the
new tank’s construction and
maintenance.
Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
chairman Sam MacDonald said
he is “frustrated” the process has
been dragged out.
“We were told at the time [of
the proposal] that it was urgent
work that needed to be done
and that there was effectively
no way around it. So we worked
really hard to mitigate residents’
concerns and now we are back at
square one with delays,” he said.
The project was initially meant
to be completed in June last year,
but was delayed until December
this year after the reserve’s
neighbours expressed concerns
over the concept designs in the
first round of consultation.

IT’S GOOD to see residents being recognised for their
community efforts in Northwood (see page 7).
Northwood New World owner Kathy Smart started Meals for
the Local Community to reward a local hero every week with
two vouchers for hot dinner box meals.
Generous Redwood resident Barry Smart was chosen as the
most recent winner after being nominated by his daughter.
Mr Smart donated a piano to the Christchurch City Mission,
took in a friend for three years after the February, 22, 2011,
earthquake and collected during the recent RSA Poppy Appeal.
Mrs Frampton said customers are encouraged to nominate
good scouts as “a nice way of saying thank you.”

Kmart will be welcomed in Papanui
• By Jess Gibson
PAPANUI RESIDENTS have
given the thumbs up to the
relocation of a Kmart store from
Shirley to Langdons Rd.
A 4500 sq m store is set to
open in the Northlink shopping
precinct in early 2020.
It will mean the subsequent
end of a 23-year tenancy within
The Palms Shopping Centre since
the store first opened in 1996.
News about the move sparked
positive
feedback from
residents in
the north-west
area about
employment
opportunities,
less travel
Simon Britten
distance to a
Kmart store
and a large amount of off-street
parking near the new site.
Meanwhile, the response has
not been so positive in the east.
A petition was started by Shirley
resident Josiah MacKay to open
an entirely new store at Papanui
instead of relocating so that the
existing Shirley store could remain.
“With enough support, I believe
that we could have a chance
in convincing Kmart Australia
to look over their decision in
relocating our Kmart store,” Mr
MacKay said.
A post about the relocation
DEVELOPMENT: Construction is under way on Langdons Rd
where a new Kmart will open. PHOTO: THINK PAPANUI
on the Think Papanui Facebook
page generated more than 3500
comments in 12 hours.
There was some positive
feedback from the public on
the shift, but many expressed
their concerns about the effect
it would have on The Palms and
the lack of access to a Kmart
store for people in the east.
Simon Britten runs the Think
Papanui page and will be a candidate
for the Papanui Ward in
the 2019 local body election.
“I have a bit of a concern that the
new site is a long way from public
transport. It’s about 500m from the
nearest Orbiter bus stop on Harewood
Rd,” Mr Britten said.
“It’s definitely going to add a
lot more vehicle movement in the
area. Langdons Rd is busy with
school students as pedestrians as
well as the elderly,” he said.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board member Emma Norrish
said she will be asking staff to
look at the impacts that the
development will have on traffic
in the Langdons Rd area at the
next board meeting.
Mr Britten said he first heard
rumours about the relocation
late last year. He said when he
sent an inquiry to the business
at the time, he received a “noncommittal”
answer about plans
to relocate.
Mr Britten made a second inquiry
in February and received
a message saying they had “no
plans” to open in Papanui but
later discovered a media release
on the Kmart Australia website
which confirmed the proposal.
“If I was to speculate, [the denial]
possibly happened because
of the impacts it would have on
the Shirley side as opposed to
not wanting to tell people about
something new in Papanui,” Mr
Britten said.
Kmart New Zealand country
manager Jason Picard said the
decision was part of a vision
to grow the store network in
Christchurch.
“We are doing this by ensuring
our stores are in the best
locations to service our customers
now and well into the future.
It’s important we support the
communities we operate in and
we hope customers will enjoy
the benefits of our new store in
Papanui,” Mr Picard said.
AMP Capital, which owns
The Palms, was asked what impact
the closure of Kmart is expected
to have on trade within
the shopping centre, but did not
comment on this specifically.
Instead, a spokesperson said:
“AMP Capital has a long-standing
partnership with Kmart
across its portfolio and would
like to thank Kmart for its support
of the centre since the store
opened.’’

NOR’WEST NEWS
Dentistry is a common daily surgical
procedure carried out at our Practice. We are
all trained in dentistry and are lucky enough
to have dental radiography which in the case
of Mabel, it proved invaluable in diagnosing
her tooth troubles. Due to most pets poor
dental hygiene ( daily tooth brushing isn’t
a priority for most people), your pet will
at least once in their life need a thorough
dental exam, scale and polish and possible
extractions under a general anaesthetic.
Checking a pets teeth and gums is a regular
part of a physical exam.
Pet owners often won’t
pick up early dental
disease, only noticing
their pet is suffering if it
refuses food, salivates
profusely or has a very
smelly breath. Many
pets will exhibit no
clinical symptoms.
Poor dental hygiene
leads to other serious
metabolic diseases like
kidney and liver disease, endocarditis, urinary
tract infections and gastrointestinal disease to
name a few.
In older pets, periodontal disease is common.
Here you get infection and inflammation
around the periodontal ligament and tooth
root due to toxins released from the bacteria
in tartar. Early on gingivitis ( inflammation
around the gingiva) is reversible with
thorough scaling and polishing, then a regular
home care dental programme involving tooth
brushing, various gels to apply to the gums,
prescription dental diets, and occasional large
raw bones that cant be demolished ( canon
bones). If left undiagnosed, gingivitis quickly
evolves into periodontitis and you get loss of
bone around the root and a loose diseased
tooth that requires extraction.

DENTISTRY
In young animals that present with
dental pain, a fractured or chipped tooth
exposing the pulp cavity, or diseased root is
commonplace. These dental problems are
seen in cats due to their fighting and hunting
pastimes. We see these issues in dogs due to
their obsessive chewing and destroying of
bones, hard objects and toys.
Mabel, a 71/2 year old Shih Tzu presented as
her very attentive owner suspected a tooth
issue. Mabel had stopped eating suddenly,
wouldn’t pick up and play with her toys and
occasionally cried out in pain and had become
quiet and clingy.
On initial examination
her teeth and gums
looked very good,
apart from some
mild tartar and
gingivitis. I couldn’t
identify any fractured
or loose teeth, no
lumps, bruising or
lesions were seen in
the oral cavity, and
there appeared to be
nothing stuck. On gently opening Mabels
mouth open she cried. The rest of her clinical
examination was unremarkable.
It was decided to anaesthetise Mabel and
thoroughly examine and probe her teeth
to establish her acute pain. It was only after
performing dental radiography that we were
we able to identify the problem tooth - an
upper molar with an abscessed root that
couldn’t be seen from the oral cavity exam.
This tooth was extracted and Mabel recovered
quickly and uneventfully.
Make sure your vet thoroughly inspects your
pets mouth on a routine checkup. It can save
lots of discomfort and money spent, if dental
disease is identified early on. A healthy mouth
leads to a happy life!

Fendalton water tank
still two years away
from being finished
•From page 1
The 2017 consultation
document showed only one
option for the new water
tank, which was near the
existing station.
Concerns over security,
the tank’s visual impact,
use of the existing site,
consideration of
other locations
and the tank’s
height prompted
the city council
to change the
design.
The second
round of
consultation last
year included a
detailed multicriteria
analysis
of more than eight sites, as
well as the city council’s
preferred option, which
was the same site as the
damaged tank.
Affected residents made
two presentations in
opposition to the preferred
David
Cartwright
option at a board meeting
before the decision was
made in August.
They did not want the
tank put at the existing
site due to the reduction in
open space and the visual
impacts.
But the community
board selected the
preferred option as
it alleviated many
of the impacts
raised in the first
consultation round.
Community
board member
David Cartwright
said it is hard to
please everyone
when consulting
on infrastructure
which is needed in the
community.
“No matter what you’re
constructing on, there
will always be varying
opinions,” he said.
The preliminary design
phase should be completed

“We’re delighted to be one of the most cost
effective options in your area when it comes
to selling property. You’re in good hands with

by the end of May.
It would then be shown
to the community board
and an information session
would be held with affected
residents. Work to raise a
well-head to remove the
current chlorination is
due to start this month
before construction of the
tank begins in either July
or August. The tank will
take eight to 10 months to
complete.
Out of the $2.6 million
budget, almost $380,000 in
ratepayers’ money has been
spent on process costs since
the project began in 2017.
This includes consultation,
options, a detailed soil
investigation, concept
plans and the preliminary
design.

IT IS your chance to have a say
on upgrades to the contentious
Breens, Harewood and Gardiners
Rds intersection.
The city council has proposed
two options to address and
improve safety at the intersection.
Option one, which is the city
council’s preferred option, is to
make both Gardiners and Breens
Rds a left-turn in and left-turn
out only by closing the median on
Harewood Rd.
This would mean vehicles
travelling from Gardiners Rd to
Breens Rd would need to use the
U-turn bays already provided on
Harewood Rd.
This option also proposes
the installation of a pedestrian
crossing, which would only stop
vehicles when it is in use.
A bus-only right-turn bay will
remain on Harewood Rd to allow
buses to turn into Gardiners Rd.
Option two is to install traffic
lights at the intersection.

New street
named
after old lake
• By Jess Gibson
A NEW street in a Burnside
subdivision has been named with
history in mind.
Lake Bryndwr Lane was chosen
by the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board for
the street in the subdivision at 196
Roydvale Ave.
The Fendalton Quarry was
established by the Ashby brothers
in the early 1900s and was made
up of three large pits.
A natural spring near Roydvale
Ave eventually filled the main pit
with water once it had become
unused and became known as
Bryndwr Lake.
At places, the lake was 6m deep
and was a place where locals went
swimming.
In 1965, the land was brought
by the Roman Catholic Diocese
who filled the pit in 1968 as members
planned to build a church
there.
The church was never built and
this area of Burnside remained a
wasteland for many years.
The community board considered
two alternative street names,
Boag Lane and Cors lane, which
both had historical relevance to
Burnside.
Nearly 50,000 books recycled at Bookarama
• By Jess Gibson
HUGE CROWDS cleared out
almost 50,000 recycled books at
the 14th annual Bookarama in
Bishopdale.
The Rotary Club of Bishopdale
Burnside’s three-day book sale
event had its biggest turnout to
date, with the YMCA Recreation
Centre reaching its maximum
capacity of 400 on the first day.
Project leader Lindsay Crossen
said it was the first time the club
had to close the doors to clear
numbers since the event started
in 2005.
While he would not disclose
the exact figure, Mr Crossen said
the money raised between April
26 and 28 is “slightly up” on the
$60,000 raised at last year’s
event.
“Books are alive and well,
that’s all I can say,” said Mr
Crossen.
The money will be used to
support the community in a
number of projects over the next
12 months.
The club contributes to schools
and youth programmes as well
as organisations such as
Canterbury Charity Hospital
Trust and Odyssey House,
among others.
More than three-and-a-half
shipping containers of books,
DVDs, records and jigsaws were
donated to the club over a fourweek
collection period.
Mr Crossen said the collection
usually lasts for five weeks but
the club had to cut it off because
there were “too many books for a
three-day sale.”
About 35 people from the club
were involved in organising the
Bookarama in the month leading
up to the event.

Free meals for good Samaritan
• By Jess Gibson
REDWOOD’S Barry Smart has
been rewarded for his generosity
with a couple of nights off
cooking.
‘Meals for the Local
Community’ is a giveaway run
by Northwood New World,
which selects one resident every
week to receive two free hot meal
vouchers from a list of public
nominations.
Mr Smart, 79, who received the
vouchers from Northwood New
World chef Daniel Sekulla, was
nominated by his daughter.
Mr Smart donated an electric
piano to the Christchurch City
Mission when one was needed
for an event.
He also took in a family friend
for three years in 2011 after their
house was severely damaged in
the earthquakes.
He also put his hand up to
collect donations for the RSA
Poppy Appeal.
Northwood New World owner
Kathy Frampton started the
giveaway in December after she
thought about the heroes in the
community who rush around all
day, leaving little time to make
their own dinner.
The winners are drawn every
Tuesday and have a month to
collect their vouchers from Mr
Sekulla. Mr Smart said he felt
“very optimistic” about his win.
“It’s nice. It’s something that
I’ll enjoy because I do my own
cooking and a couple of hot
meals will save me a job,” he said.
Mrs Frampton decided on the
meals as the prize because they
are a “wholesome alternative to
takeaways.”
“A hero doesn’t have to be
a highly visible person doing
everything. A hero can just be a
mum who’s got lots of kids and
still goes to school to help out, or
a neighbour who drives someone

to the supermarket every week
to help them get their shopping,”
said Mrs Frampton.
“It’s a nice way of saying
thank you. All these little things
make a difference to what your
community is, how it gets on and
how healthy it is.”

New bus
stops for
Orbiter
• By Jess Gibson
A CHANGE in the route of the
Orbiter has led to new bus stops
on Greers Rd and Waimairi Rd.
Two bus stops will be installed
on either side of Greers Rd
outside numbers 36 and 79,
near Westburn Tce. A pair
will be installed on either
side of Waimairi Rd outside
numbers 222 and 239-241, near
Wentworth St.
Another two will be installed
on Waimairi Rd, near Dovedale
Ave outside numbers 128-130
and across the road at 135-139.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
community boards
met last week to discuss and
approve the location of three
sets of bus stops for the new
route.
The Orbiter change was made
in January due to the closure
of Homestead Lane to buses
meaning the former route via
Homestead Lane, Ilam Rd and
Memorial Ave could no longer
be operated.

Charitable status
granted to
coffin club
• By Jess Gibson
A BISHOPDALE coffin club
which donates caskets to
mothers who have lost their
babies has been granted charitable
status.
Since Donna Sutherland
launched the Kiwi Coffin Club
at the Menzshed site on Kendal
Ave in 2017, she has been relying
on money earned from selling
adult-sized custom-made caskets
to fund ‘angel boxes.’
Angel boxes are custom-made
caskets for babies lost to cot death,
stillbirth or miscarriage which are
then delivered to Christchurch
Women’s Hospital.
Now, with charitable status, the
club can apply for grants from
major funders such as the New
Zealand Lotteries Commission
and the Lions Foundation.
It also means that if people wish
to make a donation to the club, it
will be tax-free.
Ms Sutherland has been
working with a pro bono
lawyer to get the registration
approved since she applied in
November.
She said she is “ecstatic” that
the club can apply for funding,
as it will now have back-up
money to cover the costs of the
caskets.

Jacinda Ardern is not the only

The 18-year-old former Rangi
Ruru Girls’ School student
was also presented with the
Top Subject Scholarship award
for printmaking at the Prime
Minister’s function at Parliament

Alyssa is now studying fine arts

The New Zealand Scholarship
is awarded to the top 3 per cent
of students in each different
subject.
Alyssa’s printmaking was based
on concepts of destruction
and repair following the
earthquakes.

Regular use of Finnishstyle
saunas can reduce
blood pressure and the
chance of stroke too.
Virtually maintenance free, a quick
sweep out and wipe down every
few weeks is sufficient. An annual
oiling of the outer timber is also
recommended. Electricity costs are
also minimal. Business owner Mark
Smith, who uses his several times a
week for over a year, says it costs
him $2 a session.
Backyard Sanctuary
Thanks to Canterbury Saunas, you can turn your garden
into a sanctuary of relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation.
Finnish barrel saunas are statement
pieces that provide the ultimate
place in which to unwind and relax.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go to
Finland for the pleasure.
Canterbury Saunas brings authentic
Finnish barrels to Christchurch,
where a passionate family company
handcrafts these from Thermowood –
Nordic spruce heat-treated at 205°C.
The timber is free of resin, durable,
not prone to warping and 25 per cent
more thermally efficient compared to
cedar. Canterbury Saunas uses 45mmthick
timber to ensure longevity.
Canterbury Saunas also exclusively
offers the Huum heater range, from
4.5kw to 18kw. The standard model
holds 55kg of stones, which produces
fabulous steam and, with an upgrade
option, the heater can be controlled
with a smart phone. Alternatively,
the traditional woodburning heater is
perfect for remote locations.
Regular use of Finnish-style saunas
can reduce blood pressure and the
chance of stroke too. It also benefits
skin condition and eases breathing
problems, and soft tissue aches and
pains.
To see one of these sanctuary’s up
close, view the Canterbury Saunas
demonstration model at Oderings
Garden Centre, 20 West Coast
Road, Yaldhurst.

The highs and lows of Firestone factory
Murray Williams of the
Papanui Heritage Group
highlights the history of
the Firestone Factory in
the second of a series of
articles
LAST MONTH we reviewed
the genesis of the plant in
Langdons Rd. We now turn to its
subsequent history.
When completed, the original
size of the plant was about 7000
sq m and the production capacity
was 546 tyres and 400 tubes
per day.
In 1950 the company showed
its optimism by adding another
3000 sq m to the size of this
facility.
In 1962 the company celebrated
the production of three
million tyres since the factory
opened in 1948, while its daily
rate was now up to 1000 tyres.
By 1971, Firestone employed
230 workers involved in the
manufacturing process as well
as 46 in administrative roles and
a further 90 salaried staff. The
firm also supported a number of
travelling salesmen and an ancillary
business retailing tyres and
repairing punctures.
Firestone developed an integrated
marketing campaign to
establish its brand to the people

national economy. However, at
this time it was becoming more
difficult for the company to
maintain profitability.
Relations between management
and union were not always
harmonious but a greater problem
was the Government decision
to open up the economy by
phasing out tariff protection for
locally manufactured goods.
By 1988, Firestone had sold the
business to the Japanese-owned
Bridgestone which maintained
production until 2009.
Fujitsu’s Catechin Filters are
approved by the Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation NZ’s

In the last few years, the
physical evidence of the oncethriving

In your
neighbourhood
Imagine getting tattooed at
the friendliest place on earth
The brightly-coloured façade of The
Jolly Octopus makes it hard to miss at
272 Greers Road, Bryndwr. The quirky
name suggests a different, friendlier
approach to tattooing. As clients step
into the cool reception area, they enter a
welcoming tattoo and piercing parlour
where everyone is very much part of the
extended family. Help yourself to the lolly
jar or a cookie, have a chocolate milk and
browse the art on display while you decide
how you want your own personal work of
art to look.
Eight talented artists, some of the
best and most creative in Christchurch,
guarantee you’ll work with someone who
understands exactly what you want, and
whose style matches the image you are
looking for. From delicate and feminine
designs through bold and colourful to
incredibly detailed, black and white work,
the choice is all yours.
While many tattoo shops can feel
intimidating, especially for a first-timer
The Jolly Octopus is not at all daunting.
One client said that they had “never
walked into such a welcoming tattoo
parlour.” That means a lot when you are
having something as special and personal
as a tattoo. You want to feel that you are
in the hands of artists who are not only
talented but who really care about you.
They make the whole experience feel calm
and relaxing, from the moment you park
right outside, to when you leave with your
own fabulous tattoo or piercing. Every
step of the way is all about you – another
client points out that ‘they make you laugh
and feel at ease. “The shop is scrupulously
clean, spacious and your privacy will be
respected right through the experience..
The Jolly Octopus is somewhere
people go back to again and again. They
appreciate the quality, the hygiene, the
great atmosphere and the service. Bring
them your dreams and they’ll bring them
to life.

Football squad learn valuable
lessons on tour of Spain
CHRISTCHURCH United
under-16 players are still buzzing
after returning home from their
17-day football tour of Spain.
The 14 and 15-year-olds
from the Christchurch United
Football Academy spent the
past two weeks as guests
of the famous Valencia FC
Academy, which is renowned for
producing some of the greatest
players in Spain.
After watching Valencia
in action in the Primera
division and Europa League,
the youngsters had a priceless
footballing experience when
they watched Barcelona FC
claim the Spanish title at the
famous Nou Camp stadium.
“It was an unbelievable
night,” said Christchurch
United Academy director Colin
Williamson.
“The Nou Camp stadium was
pumping and the Barcelona
fans were all still in the stands
celebrating two hours after the
match. The boys won’t forget
that night as long as they live.”
The Barcelona match was a
fitting end to a whirlwind tour
built around daily trainings
under the guidance of Valencia
Academy coaching staff. The
Valencia Academy has produced
superstars like Manchester City’s
David Silva and Real Madrid
striker Isco.
In the last few training
sessions, the Christchurch
United players were joined
by the familiar face of United
product Eric Sugahara, who is
currently part of the Barcelona
Football School in Australia and
happened to be in Spain for a
tournament.
“Eric knew most of the
boys and joined us for a few

SPORT
trainings and our final practice
match against one of the local
teams. He did really well, in
spite of being a bit younger
than the other players,” said
Williamson.
Between the heavy training
schedule, the Christchurch
United squad played four
matches against local club teams
and learned many valuable
lessons.
“The Valencia coaches found
some good opposition for our
boys and, even though we were
often just as fast or skilful as the
Spanish players, they showed us
we need to be a lot smarter,” said
Williamson.
“In most matches, we got
caught out by quick counterattacks
or punished by them
scoring from free kicks. They
knew when to commit a small
foul to slow us down on attack
or draw a foul in a dangerous
position,” said Williamson.
“It confirmed why we
are working on developing
intelligent players at
Christchurch United. These
matches showed our players
that wonderful skills alone can
get you so far, but that you have
to be smart to become a great
player.”
Williamson was proud of
his players, and said they
made great strides and showed
tremendous courage in a narrow
3-4 defeat against Vilmarxant
CF in the final match, in spite
of conceding two early goals
and losing two key players to
injuries. “When the Valencia
Academy director handed them
all their certificates on Friday, he
said they really earned it.”

Research supports
eye health
Are you Magnesium
deficient?
Nutritional researchers have
discovered a range of nutrients
that are essential for eye
health. Some of the most
essential nutrients that
have been shown to
protect and even improve
eye function are:
Selenium, is a trace mineral
that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in
many of our foods. Researchers believe
selenium may help prevent cataracts,
macular degeneration (the leading cause
of impaired vision in older people) and
may also improve dry eyes and general eye
health.
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage
of the population are low in. Zinc has been
shown to help protect the eyes from the
damaging effects of light as well as slow
vision loss due to macular degeneration.
Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene
(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have
potent antioxidant ability and help protect
the eyes from damage
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing
nutrients that have been shown in
landmark research to not only provide
potent eye protection but may even help
reverse some of the signs of age-related
macular degeneration (AMD).
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent
antioxidants may help protect the lens
and retina from damage and reduce the
risk of cataracts. They also may
help improve blood supply
to the eye, strengthen the
small capillaries of
the eye and may help
improve night vision,
may alleviate many eye
ailments including eye fatigue
that may be caused by reading, driving and
computers.
Eyebright may help normalise eye
pressure and reduce eye allergies.
Taurine is an amino acid that is essential
for correct eye function. It may also have a
detoxifying affect on the eye.
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection.
It provides many nutrients, is rich in
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that
are potent antioxidants that may protect
eyesight.
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic
amount help provide comprehensive eye
protection, may slow and possibly even
help reverse eye damage that could lead
to loss of vision. All these nutrients are
available in an economical one a day easy
to swallow capsule.
Further information is available in
store at Marshall’s Health & Natural
Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!
Minerals are the building blocks of
good health. Some minerals are only
needed in trace amounts where others
like magnesium are need in much larger
amounts and on a regular basis to prevent
deficiency and maintain optimum health.
A large number of us do not obtain
sufficient magnesium from our diet
and may notice some of the common
signs of deficiency. Some of the more
common symptoms that may be caused by
insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle
cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle
fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands,
blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep,
raised and/or unstable blood pressure,
poor circulation, irregular heartbeat,
shortness of breath, swallowing problems,
dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation,
irritability, seizures, poor concentration
and many more.
Although many young people now
show signs of magnesium deficiency
symptoms generally worsen as we age
due to our digestive system being less
efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement
of sufficient strength may be a sensible
option to top up our vital magnesium
levels. Not all magnesium supplements
however are well absorbed by everyone.
Luckily GO- HEALTHY’S marine sourced
magnesium offers excellent absorption due
to its natural co-factors that include many
trace nutrients that are low in the diet but
essential for good health.

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness in
your house
Now with the colder and wetter weather
on its way, home owners are focusing on
ways to make their homes comfortable,
warm and healthy for their families
throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue
that affects many of our older properties
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests
have shown that up to 40 litres of water
can rise from the ground and enter a
house every day, leading to mildew, mould,
condensation and musty smells. Moulds
can produce various allergic reactions
and the frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The
team understands the problems caused
by rising damp and are there to help.
They will come to your damp home
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber floored home.
Specially adapted for our New Zealand
conditions and applications it provides a
layer of protection against rising moisture.
An unexpected benefit that the team at
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed
recently, is that many owners of properties
which had underfloor foam concrete
installed, reported that it also provided
protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd now for your free, no obligation
quote and complimentary appraisal of
your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone
03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more
information.
Does your range
hood suck?
Whether it plain sucks, or whether it
doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy
sucker - Smooth-Air can help.
Smooth-Air can either improve your
current range hood, or custom build to
your specifications.
“We can take your attractive but noisy,
underperforming range hood and retrofit
it with one of our whisper quiet remote
extraction fans.” says Richard Jack,
Regional Manager of Smooth-Air, “We
have fans which can sit in the ceiling space,
or outside on your wall or roof to make it
extra quiet.”
In-house testing showed a difference of
20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan
from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood
fan range hood. This corresponds to a
quadrupling in perceived noise level.
Range hood conversions include removal
of existing fan and rewiring for new remote
fan. Your local sparky can easily carry out
installation of the new fan.
For kitchens not suited to a standard
range hood, Smooth-Air can manufacture
and powdercoat a bespoke range hood to
match your décor. Custom built range
hoods have the benefit of being designed
specifically for your house.
As well as being whisper quiet, Smooth-
Air’s remote fans are powerful - sucking
out cooking smells and moisture so they
don’t circulate around your home.
Moisture in your home can cause mould
and mildew on your walls and furnishings.
It is also bad for the health of the occupants.
Household cooking is a major source of
internal moisture, therefore an effective
kitchen extraction system can make a
significant difference to internal moisture
levels.
Smooth-Air can also help with other
forms of ventilation, such as bathroom
extraction, condensation reduction or
whole house ventilation.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your kitchen extraction, as well
as any other ventilation requirements.
