Car park restrictions set to ease 

congestion at Nunweek Park 

• By Jess Gibson 

Kate Trolove 

A SIX-MONTH parking 

struggle for users of Harewood’s 

Nunweek Park is over. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

has approved 120min parking 

restrictions on all 152 spaces in 

the car park off Wooldridge Rd, 

which are currently being used 

all day by some employees of 

nearby businesses. 

The Canterbury 

Hockey 

Association 

approached the 

community 

board about a 

“considerable 

shortage” 

of parks for 

hockey players 

and other users of the park. 

In December, no-stopping 

restrictions and a flush median 

were installed on Wooldridge Rd 

outside the entrance to the car 

park after the road became more 

heavily used and safety concerns 

were raised. 

As a result, business employees 

who previously used the onstreet 

parking on Wooldridge Rd 

began using the Nunweek Park 

car park. 

The association recorded the 

number plates of cars using the 

car parks for two weeks after 

PACKED: The Canterbury Hockey Association recorded the number plates of cars using the car parks and found that 70 to 80 per 

cent of the parks were taken up all day 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

changes were made and found 

between 70-80 per cent of the 

parks were taken up all day. 

This was during times when no 

events or organised recreational 

activities took place at Nunweek 

Park. 

Canterbury Hockey Association 

representative manager Kate 

Trolove said the enforcement of 

two-hour parking restrictions 

was “fantastic.” 

“Now, people won’t struggle to 

find a car park. People can drop 

their kids off safely, which is a 

big thing for us as we had kids 

trying to run or get into the car 

park around cars and buses,” Ms 

Trolove said.

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

A GOOD election battle is looming in the 

eastern suburbs (see page 5). 

Phil Mauger is taking on the incumbent 

Glenn Livingstone in the Burwood Ward. 

It will be a tough campaign for both. 

Mauger heads Mauger Construction Ltd, 

a company which spans three generations and came out of the 

original family business, a service station in North Beach. 

Livingstone will no doubt try to exploit the fact Mauger no 

longer lives in the eastern suburbs. 

But the 61-year-old is adamant this won’t be an Achilles heel. 

He can push on the council table for improvements to the ward 

from anywhere, he says. 

Keeping rates in check by stopping unnecessary council overspending 

looks like being his key platform. 

Let the battle begin.

Designs for community centre revealed 

ST ALBANS residents can 

expect to see a new $3.1 million 

community centre by next year. 

Final designs for the building 

have been revealed, with construction 

likely to begin at the 

site of the old community centre 

on Colombo St in a few months. 

The 

single-storey 

building will 

have modern 

timber and a 

glass facade 

with 400 sq m 

of floor space, 

Emma 

Twaddell 

including a 

hall with a 

stage, three 

meeting rooms, an office and a 

kitchen. 

Outdoors, there will be a deck 

and sufficient off-street parking. 

The designs have been 

approved by Papanui-Innes 

Community Board members 

and community representatives 

from groups including the St 

Albans Residents Association 

and the local business 

association. 

The original St Albans Community 

Centre was demolished 

after being severely damaged in 

the earthquakes. 

A transitional community 

centre provided by Lions Clubs 

International Foundation operated 

at the Colombo St site from 

2012 until last year when it was 

moved to MacFarlane Park to be 

managed by the Shirley Community 

Trust. 

Since then, the St Albans 

Community Centre has 

operated from the St Albans 

Tennis Club building in Dover 

St, run by the St Albans’ Residents 

Association. 

Chairwoman Emma Twaddell 

said the association is keen to 

promote the interests of the diverse 

St Albans community and 

several local groups are looking 

forward to using the new building. 

“The need to relocate to temporary, 

smaller premises meant 

a number of groups had to find 

other facilities but most have 

indicated their wish to come 

back. Our current groups such 

as Cranford Pippins, a Steady as 

you Go Fall Prevention exercise 

group, yoga sessions and youth 

theatre groups are all looking 

forward to the new centre,” Ms 

Twaddell said. 

“There will be more activities 

FACILITIES: 

The inside 

of the

St Albans 

Community 

Centre will 

include a 

hall, two

rooms an 

office and a 

kitchen. 

available in the new building 

which will facilitate a vibrant 

and healthy community.” 

The detailed design is being 

finalised before the city council 

apply for building and resource 

consents. Once these are 

granted, a tendering process 

will be carried out before 

construction begins.

Car park 

struggles at 

Nunweek Park 

set to ease 

•From page 1 

She said the car park can now 

be filled with members or parents 

during the current hockey season. 

“On Mondays, Tuesdays, 

Wednesdays and Fridays we have 

competitions starting at 1.30pm 

that run through to the last training 

around 9pm,” Ms Trolove 

said. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

voted against the decision at the 

community board meeting. 

Cr Keown asked about the 

possibility of leaving some parks 

unrestricted to prevent parking 

struggles from being shifted 

elsewhere. 

But city council staff said saving 

some of the all-day parks for nonrecreational 

use was not an option. 

This is because it would not 

be consistent with the Reserves 

Act, which states that a car park 

on a recreation reserve is for the 

benefit of the park users. 

Community board chairman 

Sam MacDonald said while Cr 

Keown’s concerns were understandable, 

the community board 

worked through the potential 

problem and “recognised there 

was still a lot of on-street parking 

available.” 

Teething problems at new campus 

• By Matt Slaughter 

OVERCROWDING at the 

Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ 

high school new site is a concern 

for some. 

The schools say the 2200 

students who started at the QE II 

Park site earlier this month are 

settling in and conversations to 

deal with issues are ongoing. 

However, a post on the People’s 

Republic of New Brighton 

Facebook page asking members 

what their children thought 

of the school two days after it 

opened received more than 100 

comments. 

Some students had told their 

parents overcrowded buses and 

narrow hallways had made the 

move difficult. 

AGHS principal Sue Hume 

and SBHS principal John Laurenson 

said early challenges were 

to be expected, but there was 

nothing to worry about. 

“To be perfectly honest with 

you, on the first few days of 

school there was congestion 

and we couldn’t allow that to 

continue because it would have 

been a health and safety issue. 

So, it’s not fabricated and we 

have to find out a logistical, 

organisational solution,” said Mr 

Laurenson. 

“Of course, there are always 

issues with tweaking things and 

CROWDED: Efforts to decrease congestion at the Shirley 

Boys’ High School and Avonside Girls’ High School new, shared 

campus are under way. 

finding out how they work best 

for everyone, so we’re just working 

together to make sure the site 

works best for everyone,” Mrs 

Hume said. 

Some Facebook commenters 

said these early issues had made 

the first days at the school difficult. 

“My daughter said the hallways 

are far too narrow and packed 

full of kids,” said one commenter. 

Mr Laurenson said congestion 

had eased somewhat and 

meetings to figure out how to 

deal with it, particularly when 

students made their way to lunch 

areas, had already happened. 

Options including separating 

the two schools’ lunch times had 

been considered. 

The same commenter said her 

daughter had been made to wait 

more than an hour for a bus after 

two drove past her too full. 

Other commenters said students 

were struggling to adjust to 

the shared nature of the campus. 

Mrs Hume admitted adjusting 

had been difficult, but said measures 

had been taken to deal with 

these issues. 

“This is new for us all and 

we are adjusting to occupying 

the same site and sharing some 

facilities. The senior teams from 

both schools keep in touch with 

each other as we work together 

to support the co-location and 

student access to the shared 

spaces. There is some pressure at 

break times on some spaces and 

we are working together to manage 

that.” 

She said overcrowding on campus 

had eased as the students 

had become more familiar with 

the site. 

Environment Canterbury has 

also added another bus and stopping 

points to ensure students 

could get to and from school 

more comfortably, said Mrs 

Hume. 

Other Facebook commenters 

agreed with Mrs Hume, saying 

students needed to be patient 

and allow time for the schools to 

figure out how they could function 

best together. 

“We are so lucky to have a 

wonderful new school in the 

area. Being the newbie always 

takes time, give it a chance,” said 

one.

Mauger’s bid for council 

Businessman 

joins election 

contest 

• By Matt Slaughter 

WELL-KNOWN businessman 

Phil Mauger is making a bid 

to win a city council seat in 

October’s local body elections. 

Mr Mauger, who lives in Avonhead, 

has targeted the Burwood 

Ward where he will try to unseat 

three-time councillor Glenn 

Livingstone. 

Mr Mauger is head of Maugers 

Contracting Ltd, a third-generation 

family business that had 

its beginnings in North Beach 

decades ago. 

“It’s time to put my money 

where my mouth is so to speak 

and actually do it rather than just 

sit on the sidelines,” he said. 

“I think the council’s crying out 

for some people with a little bit 

more business acumen to stop 

having over-spends on things.” 

Lowering rates and progressing 

earthquake repairs would be his 

main priorities if he was voted in. 

“You can’t just keep going 

around cranking up people’s 

rates. 

“Rates increases must be held

to between 2.5 per cent and 3.5 

per cent. The current predicted 

five per cent increase over the 

next 10 years means more money 

coming out of households that 

are already finding it hard to 

make ends meet. 

“Much of the earthquake 

rebuild still remains ahead of us. 

We have not returned to business-as-usual 

mode. The remaining 

rebuild has to be affordable 

for ratepayers, and our rates must 

stop rising unnecessarily.” 

Mr Mauger, who is standing as 

an independent, said his contracting 

background would help 

in decision-making. 

“We only have one chance to 

plan a new future for our red

zone land. We are told that $800

area over the next 30 years. My 

contracting background will 

be hugely valuable at the city 

council table, ensuring money is 

spent wisely and with a common 

sense approach to provide a 

good outcome for generations to 

come.” 

Cr Livingstone was elected 

in 2010, polling 4848 votes. He 

held the seat again in 2013 (6862 

votes) and in 2016 (4797 votes). 

Said Cr Livingstone: “You also 

need a social and environmental 

bottom line, so you need a multidimensional 

approach.’’ 

Cr Livingstone believed the fact 

he lived in the Burwood Ward, 

and Mr Mauger didn’t, would 

also be to his advantage. 

“If he lives in close proximity, 

that might be okay, but that’s quite 

some distance. I think they’ll have 

a question (voters) over how he is 

going to relate to them.” 

Said Mr Mauger: “I feel I can 

do equally as good for the people 

in Burwood by my passion for 

the area, my roots for the area. 

Living there wouldn’t make any 

difference to how well I would 

work for Burwood.” 

Cr Livingstone said his campaign 

would be business as usual. 

“I treat every candidate as if I’m 

up against Richie McCaw.”

TWO TOILET blocks will be

at a cost of $1 million, with one 

more cubicle than expected. 


Harewood Community Board approved 

the decision to install the 

facilities at Lake Roto Kohatu and 

Lake Rua its last meeting. 

There are currently only portaloos 

at the site on Sawyers Arms 

Rd, which has a high number of 

annual visitors who use the lakes 

for watersports, swimming and 

picnics. 

It was initially proposed that 

each block would have two cubicles 

and an outside shower. 

But the city council decided to 

include three cubicles in the block 

beside Lake Rua after public feedback 

suggested future proofing 

the services to allow for growth. 

To cover the cost of the $95,000 

cubicle, the city council have 

reduced some of the planned road 

upgrades at the site. 


Sam MacDonald said he is glad 

the city council enhanced the 

designs after looking at the feedback,

Big Apple beckons Burnside actress 


WHEN JACQUELINE Doherty 

was 15, she fell in love with acting 

and has since set her sights on New 

York to check out its booming 

theatre scene. 

Now, the Burnside 20-year-old 

is packing her bags to attend 

a 10-week prestigious acting 

programme which starts on June 3. 

She was 

“shocked but 

excited” when 

she found out 

she was selected 

to take part in a 

course at Stella 

Adler Studio of 

Acting, where 

Robert 

De Niro 

Robert De Niro 

studied before he 

became a twotime 

Academy Award winner. 

He won best supporting actor in 

1975 for the role of Vito Corleone 

in The Godfather Part II and best 

actor for playing Jake LaMotta in 

Raging Bull in 1981. 

“New York is the hub of theatre, 

so I always knew I wanted to go 

over at some point . . . but to do an 

acting course there is just the best 

of both worlds,” Doherty said. 

She is looking forward to 

developing her acting skills and 

hopes the course will give her an 

idea of where she will go next in 

her career. 

Doherty usually sticks to musical 

theatre, but said this will help her 

to “branch out into all different 

types of acting.” 

“My main goal is to perform 

professionally in whatever way 

that might be. I’m using this 

opportunity to see what it brings 

out of me and where it will take 

me,” Doherty said. 

She started acting as a hobby 

when she was 11-years-old and 

started to pursue it more seriously 

throughout her years at Burnside 

High School. 

“As I went through high 

school I was doing a lot of music. 

Eventually, my love for music 

turned into a love for musical 

theatre,” she said. 

Her most challenging 

performances were in Les 

Misérables last year and Spring 

Awakening in 2017, which inspired 

her to work harder and develop as 

an actor. 

“Those two performances were 

the most memorable moments of 

what made me want to keep going 

with this,” she said. 

Doherty has been saving money 

for the trip through her job as a law 

secretary. She also received a $3000 

grant from the Inspire Foundation, 

which is a charity dedicated 

to supporting Canterbury and 

Marlborough’s young talent. 

CURTAIN CALL: Jacqueline Doherty will soon receive top 

training at Stella Adler Studio of acting in New York, where 

Robert De Niro studied before launching into a successful 

acting career.

to clean up the riverbanks 

of the Avon River, the Heathcote 

River and Estuary edge at 35 different 

sites, in what has become 

an annual event. 

About 3.6-tonnes of rubbish 

was picked up. 

A plastic bag containing a 

number of Korean passports was 

also found and these were handed 

into police. 

Rangi rower Sophie Pye, and 

Esther Hwang, both in year 12, 

helped to organise the school 

group. 

Sophie is a rower and knows the 

Kerrs Reach part of the Avon well, 

and Esther is a student passionate 

about sustainability. 

“The impact of plastic pollution 

on our environment is clear and 

evident. We don’t have much 

time before the damage becomes 

irreversible, which is why Rangi 

jumped on board with the Mother 

of All Clean Ups,” Sophie said. 

School’s not for 

everyone!

Scholarships for students 

serving their communities 

TWO university students from 

the north-west have received 

$6000 scholarships for their 

studies towards careers which 

will help others. 

Alex Boyle of Strowan and 

James Eder of Redwood received 

their grants at the Freemasons 

New Zealand scholarship 

presentation at Parliament’s 

Grand Hall earlier this month. 

Mr Boyle, 23, is in his final 

year studying towards a Bachelor 

of Medicine and Bachelor of 

Surgery at Auckland University. 

With a passion for clinical 

medicine, he hopes to serve 

patients in his community. 

Mr Eder, 21, is studying 

towards a Bachelor of Arts 

The revolution

with honours at Canterbury 

University, majoring in 

philosophy. 

His research this year is 

focused on the ethics and politics 

of suicide. 

Mr Eder hopes his research 

will uncover the conditions 

that make some suicides ethically 

permissible and others not. 

Thirty-two university students 

from around the country were 

awarded $200,000 in scholarships 

from Freemasons New Zealand 

at the ceremony. 

For more than 40 years, 

Freemasons has awarded $5.4 

million in scholarships to nearly 

1200 of New Zealand’s most 

talented university students.

Readers respond to 

the article about the 

Harewood, Breens and 

Gardiners Rds intersection, 

which is currently out for 

consultation 

Barbara Purvis - The option 

for left-turn only from Breens 

and Gardiners Rds is hazardous 

and unnecessarily complicated. 

For example, it would require vehicles 

wanting to go into Breens 

Rd from Gardiners Rd not only 

to go quickly from Gardiners Rd 

into the right-hand lane and the 

right turning bay on Harewood 

Rd, but then to cross hard left 

across two lanes of Harewood 

Rd traffic to do a left-turn into 

Breens Rd. Given vehicles won’t 

be able to move until both lanes 

are clear, there is potential for 

bottlenecks at the right-turning 

lanes where there is not really a 

lot of room for vehicles to queue 

compared to the safe queuing 

zone that currently exists by 

waiting in Breens and Gardiners 

Rds as they are laid out now. 

Traffic lights are a sensible option. 

If there can be 19-plus sets 

of lights at the intersection of 

High and Tuam Sts, there can 

surely be lights at this dangerous 

intersection. After all, the city 

council found the money for 

lights opposite the Papanui Club 

on Sawyers Arms Rd, where 

there is no intersection and only 

one lane of traffic in each direction. 

It seems to me that putting 

in lights, as many local ratepayers 

Fujitsu’s Catechin Filters are 

approved by the Asthma and 

Respiratory Foundation NZ’s 

Sensitive Choice ® programme.

SAFETY UPGRADE: More than 400 submissions have been 

sent into the city council on the Harewood, Breens and 

Gardiners Rds intersection. 

have wanted, would be the sensible 

way forward. 

Helen Redmond - Lights 

are, in my opinion, by far the correct 

way to make the intersection 

on Gardiners, Harewood and 

Breens Rds operate. Option one is 

a load of nonsense. Lights, please. 

I am a Northwood resident and 

I use the intersection in question 

everyday. There has been a lot 

of talk, obviously, it’s all down to 

costs. 

Marg Sanders - What a 

ridiculous scenario option one 

would result in. Imagine a busonly 

right-turn bay that won’t be 

used by cars wanting to turn and 

the accidents this could cause. 

This council is nuts. Why don’t 

they listen to the people who 

put them there for a change? 

The same scenario happened in 

Shirley and now instead of a nice 

simple picnic table and seats, 

they have an expensive ping 

pong table and no seats. Traffic 

lights are the only way to go. I use 

this intersection and that is my 

opinion.

In your 

neighbourhood 

Traditional and natural – 

Rawleigh’s for your family and your home 

Rawleigh’s know that when 

something is not broken, it 

just doesn’t need fixing. They 

have been manufacturing 

natural medicinal products for 

over a century and because their 

medicated ointment and salve 

are so effective they have pretty 

much kept to W T Rawleigh’s 

original formula from back in 1889. 

That is not to say they do not 

move with the times. Having begun 

with the salve and ointment that 

so many New Zealanders grew up 

with, the product range has evolved 

and increased to include other 

medicinals, nutritional, personal 

care and home care products. The 

medicinals are go-to’s for any home 

first aid kit with antiseptic creams for 

abraisions, products to help with the 

symptoms of colds, and rubs for after 

rugby and netball in these cold winter 

months. 

The expanded range of personal 

care items includes high-quality hair, 

skin and bath products, all from the 

best possible natural ingredients. And 

that same quality applies to keeping your 

home hygienic too, with everything from 

concentrated multi-surface cleaner and 

laundry power to pet shampoo and moss 

killer. 

Traditionally, a team of independent 

distributors has been responsible for bringing 

these items into our homes, helping keep 

prices affordable. One of these is Fiona 

Head. Based in Harewood, she moved to 

Christchurch from the Hawke’s Bay area four 

years ago and has spent the last two year as 

a Rawleigh’s distributor and, she says, she’s 

“really loving it.” She remembers Rawleigh’s 

in the house as a child, rediscovered it for 

herself and an adult and has not looked 

back since. Her customers benefit from her 

friendly welcome and in-depth knowledge of 

the products. She can explain what they do 

and which one is best for any given situation. 

Fiona is available every weekday afternoon 

and right through the weekends, and with 

almost all products in stock, there’s usually 

no waiting for a delivery. 

Contact her on 03 550 1544 or 

022 086 7300. Visit us at 283 Wooldridge 

Road, Harewood and meet your local 

Rawleigh’s independent distributor.

Unique approach 

to helping kids thrive! 

For parents that have children struggling 

with anxiety, depression, behavioural 

issues, or in fact, anything that is troubling 

them or causing disruption to family life, it 

can sometimes seem that no-one can help 

and nothing works. 

Amanda Staniford, founder and 

director of Kids Life Academy, says many 

parents come to her with issues like these, 

desperate to get help for their children, 

which they haven’t found anywhere else. 

Providing that help is the purpose of Kids 

Life Academy, and is Amanda’s passion. 

Drawing on her diverse background and 

experience in education, including special 

needs, emotional intelligence, drama 

teaching, neuro linguistic programming, 

educational kinesiology and life coaching, 

Amanda began developing Kids Life 

Academy five years ago. 

She has created programmes for 

primary-age children (Rock Solid Kids) 

and pre-school children (Little Pebbles). 

Teens have access to Amanda’s expertise 

via group or individual coaching sessions. 

“I have a different approach, which is 

holistic and unique. For me the three 

keys to helping children overcome any 

problems are imagination, visualisation 

and belief.” 

“The real magic wand is the child’s 

own mind.” - Jose Ortega Y Gasset 

The weekly classes are based on a term 

theme, which caters for the immediate 

needs of the students enrolled. 

“The children have a lot of fun, and 

are encouraged to use their imagination 

through drama. The drama platform 

allows children to explore their thoughts 

and feelings in a supported and safe 

environment,” Amanda says. 

“It allows me to understand their 

particular issues and help them develop the 

skills and techniques to overcome them. 

“They also have a journal that they 

use to record what they are ‘happy and 

grateful’ for each week and this is shared 

at the beginning of each lesson. 

“Each child is a treasured member of 

our KLA family and as such I place a great 

deal of importance on communication 

with parents.” 

Another aspect of Amanda’s work, 

which can be very helpful for some 

families, is the kids coaching sessions. 

Amanda is currently taking bookings 

and enrolments for next term, with classes 

being held after school on Mondays at the 

Waimairi Community Centre. Numbers 

are limited to 16 per class, to ensure 

the children get maximum benefit from 

the programme. 

For enrolments, or any further 

information, contact Amanda

Rangi cyclist sprints to 

success in Australia 

POWER ON: Louis Sharp on his way to a double class victory 

at a recent kart event. 

Sharp as a knife 

in kartsport series 

LOUIS SHARP collected a rare 

double class victory at the final 

round of the WPKA Goldstar 

KartSport Series in 

Wellington. 

The 11-year-old St 

Joseph’s School pupil not 

only claimed the series title 

in the Mini Rok class over 

the three-meeting series, 

but also topped the class 

in the separate GP classification 

which is based on performances 

at the standalone class grand 

prix races held at each round. 

The series began in November 

in Taranaki, with the second 

round held in March in 

Hastings. The season 

finishes with the WPKA 

Championships on June 2 

at Palmerston North. 

Louis will then pack his 

bags for Australia as the 

series win comes with the 

prize of a trip to race at the City 

of Melbourne Titles event from 

August 2-3. 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

cyclist Charlotte Spurway has 

returned from Australia as 

the under-17 girls road race 

champion at the Canberra 

Junior Tour. 

Spurway, 16, was part of a New 

Zealand under-17 team who 

travelled across the ditch to take 

part in the four-stage event from 

May 11-12. The team competed 

against top Australian cyclists 

from Queensland, Australian 

Capital Territory and New South 

Wales. 

In the road race, Spurway 

crossed the line in 1hr 35min 

32sec and pipped Auckland’s 

Queenie McElwee and Emily 

Strumfin from Australia in a 

sprint finish to claim the title. 

The time trial saw her finish 

19sec off the winning time of 

20min 52.46sec set by Haylee 

Fuller from Australia and Ally 

Gothard from Auckland. Spurway’s 

time of 21min 11.16sec was 

also just one second ahead of

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Centuries old folk 

remedy supports 

good health! 

More health 

benefits with 

Advanced 

Omega-3-PC 

Fish Oil 

It is well known how important omega-3 fatty acids are to good 

health. It is estimated most people don’t even get a third of the 

recommended omega-3 fatty acids on a weekly basis. Countries with 

a higher amounts of omega-3 in the diet are known to have lower 

cardiovascular disease and in many cases better overall health. Recent 

research has shown inflammation to be a big part of disease and the 

ageing process. Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by providing 

essential fatty acids required by the body to heal itself and maintain 

good health. Fish oil supplements have become hugely popular 

for this reason. Until now most fish oil only contained omega-3 

fatty acids in triglyceride form. Fish however naturally contain 

omega-3 in triglyceride and phospholipid form but until recently the 

phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC sets new standards in fish oil as 

it contains omega-3 attached to both triglycerides and phospholipids. 

Studies have shown GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC to be far better 

absorbed leading to increased levels of vital omega-3 fatty acids in the 

organs thru giving the potential for more health benefits. 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC is produced from fresh wild 

deep sea cold water fish using a new advanced and more natural cold 

extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile 

found in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP standards and is 

molecularly distilled to remove any containments, toxins and heavy 

metals like mercury. 

Further information on this revolutionary new fish oil and how 

it may benefit you is available from the Natural Health Advisers, 

at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always happy to help! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of 

powerful health benefits. It is none other than the 

popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. Since the time 

of Hippocrates – the “Father of Medicine” – ACV 

has been renowned for its curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and FOLK 

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he found 

that Vermonters who regularly consumed ACV and 

Honey had excellent health with many putting in 

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well 

into their eighties. He also noted the effects of ACV 

and H on arthritis to be remarkable with many 

patients reporting almost total relief after taking a 

course of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the 

acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted 

calcium deposits and helped the body control 

calcium use. He also noted that Vermonters who 

consumed ACV and H around meal time had 

excellent blood pressure and circulation. The reason 

he found was that protein foods thickened the 

blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens 

it cannot pass as easily and quickly through the 

blood vessels and capillaries. This poor blood flow 

would reduce cellular health by limiting nutrients 

to the cells as well as waste elimination from the 

cells. To prevent cell damage the body naturally 

increases blood pressure but this puts more stress 

on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having ACV 

and H with meals will help prevent protein raising 

the blood pressure. It also contributes to a feeling 

of greater well-being because the thinner blood 

circulates quickly and more easily through the 

blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular consumption 

of CV and H to be an excellent health tonic with 

numerous health attributes. Also when used at 

the onset of complaints such as the common cold, 

sinusitis, asthmatic attacks, hay fever and childhood 

diseases such as chicken pox and measles, was 

accompanied by an improvement in the condition 

with symptoms either disappearing or the 

conditions were extremely mild and soon over. 

More recent research on ACV has shown it to be 

highly effective at controlling blood sugar levels. 

Elevated blood sugar is associated not only with 

diabetes, but with numerous health problems 

from premature aging to multiple chronic 

diseases. In a study published in Diabetes Care 

Journal, ACV improved insulin sensitivity during 

high-carb meals by 19-34% and significantly 

lowered blood glucose and insulin responses. 

Another Japanese study found ACV can help you 

feel fuller, eat less and lose weight. Participants 

in the 12 week study were found to have reduced 

waist circumference and lower triglyceride levels 

therefore reducing their cardiovascular risk levels. 

Another observational study conducted by Harvard 

showed that women who ate salad dressings with 

ACV had a reduced risk of heart disease. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the 

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily 

accepted by the body. Scientists have found over 

90 different substances in ACV, among them 20 

important trace elements, minerals and essential 

enzymes. A scientific study at the Shizuka 

University in Japan has proven ACV to have potent 

antioxidant benefits (It can destroy free radicals, 

which are a major factor in ageing.) and also the 

ACV can break down cholesterol formations in the 

blood vessels. 

Good health starts with good digestion and 

assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken before food 

will stimulate and promote healthy digestion and 

assimilation of vital nutrients for good health. A 

well-functioning digestive system helps prevent 

disease by neutralising any toxic substances that 

enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is produced 

in the traditional way and results are likely to prove 

disappointing with these other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV with 

20% Manuka Honey is produced in 

Canterbury from Organic whole 

apples in the traditional way. It is 

double strength so you can use 

less.

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good 

Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used! 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL! 

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Are you struggling with the heat of 

Summer or wanting to get organised for 

Winter? With the ever changing weather 

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility 

of being able to heat and cool which is an 

advantage no other appliance can offer. This 

represents great value for your investment 

as you can use it all year round. The team 

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you 

cool this Summer either at home or work. 

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services 

all the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the 1st of 

July deadline. Inadequate heating and 

ventilation can lead to mould growth and 

dampness in your property, leading to 

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy 

living environment. Providing a fixed 

heater with a higher heat output and lower 

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable 

your tenants to heat the area effectively. 

It will also discourage them from using 

unflued gas heaters which can make a 

house damp and mouldy. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs.

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2,

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role.

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”
