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

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.

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

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

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
million will be spent on this
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.”

$1m toilets
approved
for Lake
Roto Kohatu
• By Jess Gibson
Fire rages, homes at risk
TWO TOILET blocks will be
installed at Roto Kohatu Reserve
at a cost of $1 million, with one
more cubicle than expected.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
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.
Community board chairman
Sam MacDonald said he is glad
the city council enhanced the
designs after looking at the feedback,
rather than having a new
design come back to the board.

Big Apple beckons Burnside actress
• By Jess Gibson
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.

On the eve of Mother’s Day,
more than 800 people worked together

About 3.6-tonnes of rubbish

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

irreversible, which is why Rangi
jumped on board with the Mother

Mr Eder hopes his research

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

approved by the Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation NZ’s

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

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

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

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.

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.

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the

to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community

It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding

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.”
