Car park restrictions set to ease<br />

congestion at Nunweek Park<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

Kate Trolove<br />

A SIX-MONTH parking<br />

struggle for users of Harewood’s<br />

Nunweek Park is over.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

has approved 120min parking<br />

restrictions on all 152 spaces in<br />

the car park off Wooldridge Rd,<br />

which are currently being used<br />

all day by some employees of<br />

nearby businesses.<br />

The Canterbury<br />

Hockey<br />

Association<br />

approached the<br />

community<br />

board about a<br />

“considerable<br />

shortage”<br />

of parks for<br />

hockey players<br />

and other users of the park.<br />

In December, no-stopping<br />

restrictions and a flush median<br />

were installed on Wooldridge Rd<br />

outside the entrance to the car<br />

park after the road became more<br />

heavily used and safety concerns<br />

were raised.<br />

As a result, business employees<br />

who previously used the onstreet<br />

parking on Wooldridge Rd<br />

began using the Nunweek Park<br />

car park.<br />

The association recorded the<br />

number plates of cars using the<br />

car parks for two weeks after<br />

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

cent of the parks were taken up all day<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

changes were made and found<br />

between 70-80 per cent of the<br />

parks were taken up all day.<br />

This was during times when no<br />

events or organised recreational<br />

activities took place at Nunweek<br />

Park.<br />

Canterbury Hockey Association<br />

representative manager Kate<br />

Trolove said the enforcement of<br />

two-hour parking restrictions<br />

was “fantastic.”<br />

“Now, people won’t struggle to<br />

find a car park. People can drop<br />

their kids off safely, which is a<br />

big thing for us as we had kids<br />

trying to run or get into the car<br />

park around cars and buses,” Ms<br />

Trolove said.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

A GOOD election battle is looming in the<br />

eastern suburbs (see page 5).<br />

Phil Mauger is taking on the incumbent<br />

Glenn Livingstone in the Burwood Ward.<br />

It will be a tough campaign for both.<br />

Mauger heads Mauger Construction Ltd,<br />

a company which spans three generations and came out of the<br />

original family business, a service station in North Beach.<br />

Livingstone will no doubt try to exploit the fact Mauger no<br />

longer lives in the eastern suburbs.<br />

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

He can push on the council table for improvements to the ward<br />

from anywhere, he says.<br />

Keeping rates in check by stopping unnecessary council overspending<br />

looks like being his key platform.<br />

Let the battle begin.<br />

Designs for community centre revealed<br />

ST ALBANS residents can<br />

expect to see a new $3.1 million<br />

community centre by next year.<br />

Final designs for the building<br />

have been revealed, with construction<br />

likely to begin at the<br />

site of the old community centre<br />

on Colombo St in a few months.<br />

The<br />

single-storey<br />

building will<br />

have modern<br />

timber and a<br />

glass facade<br />

with 400 sq m<br />

of floor space,<br />

Emma<br />

Twaddell<br />

including a<br />

hall with a<br />

stage, three<br />

meeting rooms, an office and a<br />

kitchen.<br />

Outdoors, there will be a deck<br />

and sufficient off-street parking.<br />

The designs have been<br />

approved by Papanui-Innes<br />

Community Board members<br />

and community representatives<br />

from groups including the St<br />

Albans Residents Association<br />

and the local business<br />

association.<br />

The original St Albans Community<br />

Centre was demolished<br />

after being severely damaged in<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

A transitional community<br />

centre provided by Lions Clubs<br />

International Foundation operated<br />

at the Colombo St site from<br />

2012 until last year when it was<br />

moved to MacFarlane Park to be<br />

managed by the Shirley Community<br />

Trust.<br />

Since then, the St Albans<br />

Community Centre has<br />

operated from the St Albans<br />

Tennis Club building in Dover<br />

St, run by the St Albans’ Residents<br />

Association.<br />

Chairwoman Emma Twaddell<br />

said the association is keen to<br />

promote the interests of the diverse<br />

St Albans community and<br />

several local groups are looking<br />

forward to using the new building.<br />

“The need to relocate to temporary,<br />

smaller premises meant<br />

a number of groups had to find<br />

other facilities but most have<br />

indicated their wish to come<br />

back. Our current groups such<br />

as Cranford Pippins, a Steady as<br />

you Go Fall Prevention exercise<br />

group, yoga sessions and youth<br />

theatre groups are all looking<br />

forward to the new centre,” Ms<br />

Twaddell said.<br />

“There will be more activities<br />

FACILITIES:<br />

The inside<br />

of the<br />

400 sq m<br />

St Albans<br />

Community<br />

Centre will<br />

include a<br />

hall, two<br />

meeting<br />

rooms an<br />

office and a<br />

kitchen. ​<br />

available in the new building<br />

which will facilitate a vibrant<br />

and healthy community.”<br />

The detailed design is being<br />

finalised before the city council<br />

apply for building and resource<br />

consents. Once these are<br />

granted, a tendering process<br />

will be carried out before<br />

construction begins.<br />

Car park<br />

struggles at<br />

Nunweek Park<br />

set to ease<br />

•From page 1<br />

She said the car park can now<br />

be filled with members or parents<br />

during the current hockey season.<br />

“On Mondays, Tuesdays,<br />

Wednesdays and Fridays we have<br />

competitions starting at 1.30pm<br />

that run through to the last training<br />

around 9pm,” Ms Trolove<br />

said.<br />

City councillor Aaron Keown<br />

voted against the decision at the<br />

community board meeting.<br />

Cr Keown asked about the<br />

possibility of leaving some parks<br />

unrestricted to prevent parking<br />

struggles from being shifted<br />

elsewhere.<br />

But city council staff said saving<br />

some of the all-day parks for nonrecreational<br />

use was not an option.<br />

This is because it would not<br />

be consistent with the Reserves<br />

Act, which states that a car park<br />

on a recreation reserve is for the<br />

benefit of the park users.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said while Cr<br />

Keown’s concerns were understandable,<br />

the community board<br />

worked through the potential<br />

problem and “recognised there<br />

was still a lot of on-street parking<br />

available.”<br />

Teething problems at new campus<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

OVERCROWDING at the<br />

Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’<br />

high school new site is a concern<br />

for some.<br />

The schools say the 2200<br />

students who started at the QE II<br />

Park site earlier this month are<br />

settling in and conversations to<br />

deal with issues are ongoing.<br />

However, a post on the People’s<br />

Republic of New Brighton<br />

Facebook page asking members<br />

what their children thought<br />

of the school two days after it<br />

opened received more than 100<br />

comments.<br />

Some students had told their<br />

parents overcrowded buses and<br />

narrow hallways had made the<br />

move difficult.<br />

AGHS principal Sue Hume<br />

and SBHS principal John Laurenson<br />

said early challenges were<br />

to be expected, but there was<br />

nothing to worry about.<br />

“To be perfectly honest with<br />

you, on the first few days of<br />

school there was congestion<br />

and we couldn’t allow that to<br />

continue because it would have<br />

been a health and safety issue.<br />

So, it’s not fabricated and we<br />

have to find out a logistical,<br />

organisational solution,” said Mr<br />

Laurenson.<br />

“Of course, there are always<br />

issues with tweaking things and<br />

CROWDED: Efforts to decrease congestion at the Shirley<br />

Boys’ High School and Avonside Girls’ High School new, shared<br />

campus are under way.<br />

finding out how they work best<br />

for everyone, so we’re just working<br />

together to make sure the site<br />

works best for everyone,” Mrs<br />

Hume said.<br />

Some Facebook commenters<br />

said these early issues had made<br />

the first days at the school difficult.<br />

“My daughter said the hallways<br />

are far too narrow and packed<br />

full of kids,” said one commenter.<br />

Mr Laurenson said congestion<br />

had eased somewhat and<br />

meetings to figure out how to<br />

deal with it, particularly when<br />

students made their way to lunch<br />

areas, had already happened.<br />

Options including separating<br />

the two schools’ lunch times had<br />

been considered.<br />

The same commenter said her<br />

daughter had been made to wait<br />

more than an hour for a bus after<br />

two drove past her too full.<br />

Other commenters said students<br />

were struggling to adjust to<br />

the shared nature of the campus.<br />

Mrs Hume admitted adjusting<br />

had been difficult, but said measures<br />

had been taken to deal with<br />

these issues.<br />

“This is new for us all and<br />

we are adjusting to occupying<br />

the same site and sharing some<br />

facilities. The senior teams from<br />

both schools keep in touch with<br />

each other as we work together<br />

to support the co-location and<br />

student access to the shared<br />

spaces. There is some pressure at<br />

break times on some spaces and<br />

we are working together to manage<br />

that.”<br />

She said overcrowding on campus<br />

had eased as the students<br />

had become more familiar with<br />

the site.<br />

Environment Canterbury has<br />

also added another bus and stopping<br />

points to ensure students<br />

could get to and from school<br />

more comfortably, said Mrs<br />

Hume.<br />

Other Facebook commenters<br />

agreed with Mrs Hume, saying<br />

students needed to be patient<br />

and allow time for the schools to<br />

figure out how they could function<br />

best together.<br />

“We are so lucky to have a<br />

wonderful new school in the<br />

area. Being the newbie always<br />

takes time, give it a chance,” said<br />

one.<br />

IF IT’S<br />

HAPPENING NOW<br />

Mauger’s bid for council<br />

Businessman<br />

joins election<br />

contest<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

WELL-KNOWN businessman<br />

Phil Mauger is making a bid<br />

to win a city council seat in<br />

October’s local body elections.<br />

Mr Mauger, who lives in Avonhead,<br />

has targeted the Burwood<br />

Ward where he will try to unseat<br />

three-time councillor Glenn<br />

Livingstone.<br />

Mr Mauger is head of Maugers<br />

Contracting Ltd, a third-generation<br />

family business that had<br />

its beginnings in North Beach<br />

decades ago.<br />

“It’s time to put my money<br />

where my mouth is so to speak<br />

and actually do it rather than just<br />

sit on the sidelines,” he said.<br />

“I think the council’s crying out<br />

for some people with a little bit<br />

more business acumen to stop<br />

having over-spends on things.”<br />

Lowering rates and progressing<br />

earthquake repairs would be his<br />

main priorities if he was voted in.<br />

“You can’t just keep going<br />

around cranking up people’s<br />

rates.<br />

“Rates increases must be held<br />

NEWCOMER: Businessman Phil Mauger will run against Glenn<br />

Livingstone (inset) for the Burwood Ward seat in October’s<br />

local body elections.<br />

to between 2.5 per cent and 3.5<br />

per cent. The current predicted<br />

five per cent increase over the<br />

next 10 years means more money<br />

coming out of households that<br />

are already finding it hard to<br />

make ends meet.<br />

“Much of the earthquake<br />

rebuild still remains ahead of us.<br />

We have not returned to business-as-usual<br />

mode. The remaining<br />

rebuild has to be affordable<br />

for ratepayers, and our rates must<br />

stop rising unnecessarily.”<br />

Mr Mauger, who is standing as<br />

an independent, said his contracting<br />

background would help<br />

in decision-making.<br />

“We only have one chance to<br />

plan a new future for our red<br />

Inside colour: flame red<br />

Exterior colours: 200+<br />

million will be spent on this<br />

area over the next 30 years. My<br />

contracting background will<br />

be hugely valuable at the city<br />

council table, ensuring money is<br />

spent wisely and with a common<br />

sense approach to provide a<br />

good outcome for generations to<br />

come.”<br />

Cr Livingstone was elected<br />

in 2010, polling 4848 votes. He<br />

held the seat again in 2013 (6862<br />

votes) and in 2016 (4797 votes).<br />

Said Cr Livingstone: “You also<br />

need a social and environmental<br />

bottom line, so you need a multidimensional<br />

approach.’’<br />

Cr Livingstone believed the fact<br />

he lived in the Burwood Ward,<br />

and Mr Mauger didn’t, would<br />

also be to his advantage.<br />

“If he lives in close proximity,<br />

that might be okay, but that’s quite<br />

some distance. I think they’ll have<br />

a question (voters) over how he is<br />

going to relate to them.”<br />

Said Mr Mauger: “I feel I can<br />

do equally as good for the people<br />

in Burwood by my passion for<br />

the area, my roots for the area.<br />

Living there wouldn’t make any<br />

difference to how well I would<br />

work for Burwood.”<br />

Cr Livingstone said his campaign<br />

would be business as usual.<br />

“I treat every candidate as if I’m<br />

up against Richie McCaw.”<br />

Roto Kohatu<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

TWO TOILET blocks will be<br />

installed at Roto Kohatu Reserve<br />

at a cost of $1 million, with one<br />

more cubicle than expected.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board approved<br />

the decision to install the<br />

facilities at Lake Roto Kohatu and<br />

Lake Rua its last meeting.<br />

There are currently only portaloos<br />

at the site on Sawyers Arms<br />

Rd, which has a high number of<br />

annual visitors who use the lakes<br />

for watersports, swimming and<br />

picnics.<br />

It was initially proposed that<br />

each block would have two cubicles<br />

and an outside shower.<br />

But the city council decided to<br />

include three cubicles in the block<br />

beside Lake Rua after public feedback<br />

suggested future proofing<br />

the services to allow for growth.<br />

To cover the cost of the $95,000<br />

cubicle, the city council have<br />

reduced some of the planned road<br />

upgrades at the site.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said he is glad<br />

the city council enhanced the<br />

designs after looking at the feedback,<br />

rather than having a new<br />

design come back to the board.<br />

Big Apple beckons Burnside actress<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

WHEN JACQUELINE Doherty<br />

was 15, she fell in love with acting<br />

and has since set her sights on New<br />

York to check out its booming<br />

theatre scene.<br />

Now, the Burnside 20-year-old<br />

is packing her bags to attend<br />

a 10-week prestigious acting<br />

programme which starts on June 3.<br />

She was<br />

“shocked but<br />

excited” when<br />

she found out<br />

she was selected<br />

to take part in a<br />

course at Stella<br />

Adler Studio of<br />

Acting, where<br />

Robert<br />

De Niro<br />

Robert De Niro<br />

studied before he<br />

became a twotime<br />

Academy Award winner.<br />

He won best supporting actor in<br />

1975 for the role of Vito Corleone<br />

in The Godfather Part II and best<br />

actor for playing Jake LaMotta in<br />

Raging Bull in 1981.<br />

“New York is the hub of theatre,<br />

so I always knew I wanted to go<br />

over at some point . . . but to do an<br />

acting course there is just the best<br />

of both worlds,” Doherty said.<br />

She is looking forward to<br />

developing her acting skills and<br />

hopes the course will give her an<br />

idea of where she will go next in<br />

her career.<br />

Doherty usually sticks to musical<br />

theatre, but said this will help her<br />

to “branch out into all different<br />

types of acting.”<br />

“My main goal is to perform<br />

professionally in whatever way<br />

that might be. I’m using this<br />

opportunity to see what it brings<br />

out of me and where it will take<br />

me,” Doherty said.<br />

She started acting as a hobby<br />

when she was 11-years-old and<br />

started to pursue it more seriously<br />

throughout her years at Burnside<br />

High School.<br />

“As I went through high<br />

school I was doing a lot of music.<br />

Eventually, my love for music<br />

turned into a love for musical<br />

theatre,” she said.<br />

Her most challenging<br />

performances were in Les<br />

Misérables last year and Spring<br />

Awakening in 2017, which inspired<br />

her to work harder and develop as<br />

an actor.<br />

“Those two performances were<br />

the most memorable moments of<br />

what made me want to keep going<br />

with this,” she said.<br />

Doherty has been saving money<br />

for the trip through her job as a law<br />

secretary. She also received a $3000<br />

grant from the Inspire Foundation,<br />

which is a charity dedicated<br />

to supporting Canterbury and<br />

Marlborough’s young talent.<br />

CURTAIN CALL: Jacqueline Doherty will soon receive top<br />

training at Stella Adler Studio of acting in New York, where<br />

Robert De Niro studied before launching into a successful<br />

acting career.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Rangi girls<br />

help out at<br />

clean up<br />

MORE THAN 50 students from<br />

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School headed<br />

out to Kerrs Reach in Avonside to<br />

help in the Mother of all Clean-<br />

Ups.<br />

On the eve of Mother’s Day,<br />

more than 800 people worked together<br />

to clean up the riverbanks<br />

of the Avon River, the Heathcote<br />

River and Estuary edge at 35 different<br />

sites, in what has become<br />

an annual event.<br />

About 3.6-tonnes of rubbish<br />

was picked up.<br />

A plastic bag containing a<br />

number of Korean passports was<br />

also found and these were handed<br />

into police.<br />

Rangi rower Sophie Pye, and<br />

Esther Hwang, both in year 12,<br />

helped to organise the school<br />

group.<br />

Sophie is a rower and knows the<br />

Kerrs Reach part of the Avon well,<br />

and Esther is a student passionate<br />

about sustainability.<br />

“The impact of plastic pollution<br />

on our environment is clear and<br />

evident. We don’t have much<br />

time before the damage becomes<br />

irreversible, which is why Rangi<br />

jumped on board with the Mother<br />

of All Clean Ups,” Sophie said.<br />

Readers respond to<br />

the article about the<br />

Harewood, Breens and<br />

Gardiners Rds intersection,<br />

which is currently out for<br />

consultation<br />

Barbara Purvis - The option<br />

for left-turn only from Breens<br />

and Gardiners Rds is hazardous<br />

and unnecessarily complicated.<br />

For example, it would require vehicles<br />

wanting to go into Breens<br />

Rd from Gardiners Rd not only<br />

to go quickly from Gardiners Rd<br />

into the right-hand lane and the<br />

right turning bay on Harewood<br />

Rd, but then to cross hard left<br />

across two lanes of Harewood<br />

Rd traffic to do a left-turn into<br />

Breens Rd. Given vehicles won’t<br />

be able to move until both lanes<br />

are clear, there is potential for<br />

bottlenecks at the right-turning<br />

lanes where there is not really a<br />

lot of room for vehicles to queue<br />

compared to the safe queuing<br />

zone that currently exists by<br />

waiting in Breens and Gardiners<br />

Rds as they are laid out now.<br />

Traffic lights are a sensible option.<br />

If there can be 19-plus sets<br />

of lights at the intersection of<br />

High and Tuam Sts, there can<br />

surely be lights at this dangerous<br />

intersection. After all, the city<br />

council found the money for<br />

lights opposite the Papanui Club<br />

on Sawyers Arms Rd, where<br />

there is no intersection and only<br />

one lane of traffic in each direction.<br />

It seems to me that putting<br />

in lights, as many local ratepayers<br />

Fujitsu’s Catechin Filters are<br />

approved by the Asthma and<br />

Respiratory Foundation NZ’s<br />

Sensitive Choice ® programme.<br />

Email: info@pshc.co.nz<br />

SAFETY UPGRADE: More than 400 submissions have been<br />

sent into the city council on the Harewood, Breens and<br />

Gardiners Rds intersection.<br />

have wanted, would be the sensible<br />

way forward.<br />

Helen Redmond - Lights<br />

are, in my opinion, by far the correct<br />

way to make the intersection<br />

on Gardiners, Harewood and<br />

Breens Rds operate. Option one is<br />

a load of nonsense. Lights, please.<br />

I am a Northwood resident and<br />

I use the intersection in question<br />

everyday. There has been a lot<br />

of talk, obviously, it’s all down to<br />

costs.<br />

Marg Sanders - What a<br />

ridiculous scenario option one<br />

would result in. Imagine a busonly<br />

right-turn bay that won’t be<br />

used by cars wanting to turn and<br />

the accidents this could cause.<br />

This council is nuts. Why don’t<br />

they listen to the people who<br />

put them there for a change?<br />

The same scenario happened in<br />

Shirley and now instead of a nice<br />

simple picnic table and seats,<br />

they have an expensive ping<br />

pong table and no seats. Traffic<br />

lights are the only way to go. I use<br />

this intersection and that is my<br />

opinion.<br />

In your<br />

neighbourhood<br />

Traditional and natural –<br />

Rawleigh’s for your family and your home<br />

Rawleigh’s know that when<br />

something is not broken, it<br />

just doesn’t need fixing. They<br />

have been manufacturing<br />

natural medicinal products for<br />

over a century and because their<br />

medicated ointment and salve<br />

are so effective they have pretty<br />

much kept to W T Rawleigh’s<br />

original formula from back in 1889.<br />

That is not to say they do not<br />

move with the times. Having begun<br />

with the salve and ointment that<br />

so many New Zealanders grew up<br />

with, the product range has evolved<br />

and increased to include other<br />

medicinals, nutritional, personal<br />

care and home care products. The<br />

medicinals are go-to’s for any home<br />

first aid kit with antiseptic creams for<br />

abraisions, products to help with the<br />

symptoms of colds, and rubs for after<br />

rugby and netball in these cold winter<br />

months.<br />

The expanded range of personal<br />

care items includes high-quality hair,<br />

skin and bath products, all from the<br />

best possible natural ingredients. And<br />

that same quality applies to keeping your<br />

home hygienic too, with everything from<br />

concentrated multi-surface cleaner and<br />

laundry power to pet shampoo and moss<br />

killer.<br />

Traditionally, a team of independent<br />

distributors has been responsible for bringing<br />

these items into our homes, helping keep<br />

prices affordable. One of these is Fiona<br />

Head. Based in Harewood, she moved to<br />

Christchurch from the Hawke’s Bay area four<br />

years ago and has spent the last two year as<br />

a Rawleigh’s distributor and, she says, she’s<br />

“really loving it.” She remembers Rawleigh’s<br />

in the house as a child, rediscovered it for<br />

herself and an adult and has not looked<br />

back since. Her customers benefit from her<br />

friendly welcome and in-depth knowledge of<br />

the products. She can explain what they do<br />

and which one is best for any given situation.<br />

Fiona is available every weekday afternoon<br />

and right through the weekends, and with<br />

almost all products in stock, there’s usually<br />

no waiting for a delivery.<br />

Contact her on 03 550 1544 or<br />

Unique approach<br />

to helping kids thrive!<br />

For parents that have children struggling<br />

with anxiety, depression, behavioural<br />

issues, or in fact, anything that is troubling<br />

them or causing disruption to family life, it<br />

can sometimes seem that no-one can help<br />

and nothing works.<br />

Amanda Staniford, founder and<br />

director of Kids Life Academy, says many<br />

parents come to her with issues like these,<br />

desperate to get help for their children,<br />

which they haven’t found anywhere else.<br />

Providing that help is the purpose of Kids<br />

Life Academy, and is Amanda’s passion.<br />

Drawing on her diverse background and<br />

experience in education, including special<br />

needs, emotional intelligence, drama<br />

teaching, neuro linguistic programming,<br />

educational kinesiology and life coaching,<br />

Amanda began developing Kids Life<br />

Academy five years ago.<br />

She has created programmes for<br />

primary-age children (Rock Solid Kids)<br />

and pre-school children (Little Pebbles).<br />

Teens have access to Amanda’s expertise<br />

via group or individual coaching sessions.<br />

“I have a different approach, which is<br />

holistic and unique. For me the three<br />

keys to helping children overcome any<br />

problems are imagination, visualisation<br />

and belief.”<br />

“The real magic wand is the child’s<br />

own mind.” - Jose Ortega Y Gasset<br />

The weekly classes are based on a term<br />

theme, which caters for the immediate<br />

needs of the students enrolled.<br />

“The children have a lot of fun, and<br />

are encouraged to use their imagination<br />

through drama. The drama platform<br />

allows children to explore their thoughts<br />

and feelings in a supported and safe<br />

environment,” Amanda says.<br />

“It allows me to understand their<br />

particular issues and help them develop the<br />

skills and techniques to overcome them.<br />

“They also have a journal that they<br />

use to record what they are ‘happy and<br />

grateful’ for each week and this is shared<br />

at the beginning of each lesson.<br />

“Each child is a treasured member of<br />

our KLA family and as such I place a great<br />

deal of importance on communication<br />

with parents.”<br />

Another aspect of Amanda’s work,<br />

which can be very helpful for some<br />

families, is the kids coaching sessions.<br />

Amanda is currently taking bookings<br />

and enrolments for next term, with classes<br />

being held after school on Mondays at the<br />

Waimairi Community Centre. Numbers<br />

are limited to 16 per class, to ensure<br />

the children get maximum benefit from<br />

the programme.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />

sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />

many of their middle-aged and senior<br />

clients visit complaining of pain in one or<br />

both hips.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a<br />

back muscle could also be the cause, as<br />

shown in the image.<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

Hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the hip, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

that stretches the hip in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated than<br />

surgery. In very few treatments the client<br />

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

will know if it is going to work for them or<br />

not, without financial commitment.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Centuries old folk<br />

remedy supports<br />

good health!<br />

More health<br />

benefits with<br />

Advanced<br />

Omega-3-PC<br />

Fish Oil<br />

It is well known how important omega-3 fatty acids are to good<br />

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

recommended omega-3 fatty acids on a weekly basis. Countries with<br />

a higher amounts of omega-3 in the diet are known to have lower<br />

cardiovascular disease and in many cases better overall health. Recent<br />

research has shown inflammation to be a big part of disease and the<br />

ageing process. Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by providing<br />

essential fatty acids required by the body to heal itself and maintain<br />

good health. Fish oil supplements have become hugely popular<br />

for this reason. Until now most fish oil only contained omega-3<br />

fatty acids in triglyceride form. Fish however naturally contain<br />

omega-3 in triglyceride and phospholipid form but until recently the<br />

phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process.<br />

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC sets new standards in fish oil as<br />

it contains omega-3 attached to both triglycerides and phospholipids.<br />

Studies have shown GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC to be far better<br />

absorbed leading to increased levels of vital omega-3 fatty acids in the<br />

organs thru giving the potential for more health benefits.<br />

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-3-PC is produced from fresh wild<br />

deep sea cold water fish using a new advanced and more natural cold<br />

extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile<br />

found in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP standards and is<br />

molecularly distilled to remove any containments, toxins and heavy<br />

metals like mercury.<br />

Further information on this revolutionary new fish oil and how<br />

it may benefit you is available from the Natural Health Advisers,<br />

at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New<br />

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always happy to help!<br />

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of<br />

powerful health benefits. It is none other than the<br />

popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. Since the time<br />

of Hippocrates – the “Father of Medicine” – ACV<br />

has been renowned for its curative properties.<br />

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and FOLK<br />

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he found<br />

that Vermonters who regularly consumed ACV and<br />

Honey had excellent health with many putting in<br />

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well<br />

into their eighties. He also noted the effects of ACV<br />

and H on arthritis to be remarkable with many<br />

patients reporting almost total relief after taking a<br />

course of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the<br />

acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted<br />

calcium deposits and helped the body control<br />

calcium use. He also noted that Vermonters who<br />

consumed ACV and H around meal time had<br />

excellent blood pressure and circulation. The reason<br />

he found was that protein foods thickened the<br />

blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens<br />

it cannot pass as easily and quickly through the<br />

blood vessels and capillaries. This poor blood flow<br />

would reduce cellular health by limiting nutrients<br />

to the cells as well as waste elimination from the<br />

cells. To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />

increases blood pressure but this puts more stress<br />

on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having ACV<br />

and H with meals will help prevent protein raising<br />

the blood pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />

of greater well-being because the thinner blood<br />

circulates quickly and more easily through the<br />

blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular consumption<br />

of CV and H to be an excellent health tonic with<br />

numerous health attributes. Also when used at<br />

the onset of complaints such as the common cold,<br />

sinusitis, asthmatic attacks, hay fever and childhood<br />

diseases such as chicken pox and measles, was<br />

accompanied by an improvement in the condition<br />

with symptoms either disappearing or the<br />

conditions were extremely mild and soon over.<br />

More recent research on ACV has shown it to be<br />

highly effective at controlling blood sugar levels.<br />

Elevated blood sugar is associated not only with<br />

diabetes, but with numerous health problems<br />

from premature aging to multiple chronic<br />

diseases. In a study published in Diabetes Care<br />

Journal, ACV improved insulin sensitivity during<br />

high-carb meals by 19-34% and significantly<br />

lowered blood glucose and insulin responses.<br />

Another Japanese study found ACV can help you<br />

feel fuller, eat less and lose weight. Participants<br />

in the 12 week study were found to have reduced<br />

waist circumference and lower triglyceride levels<br />

therefore reducing their cardiovascular risk levels.<br />

Another observational study conducted by Harvard<br />

showed that women who ate salad dressings with<br />

ACV had a reduced risk of heart disease.<br />

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the<br />

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily<br />

accepted by the body. Scientists have found over<br />

90 different substances in ACV, among them 20<br />

important trace elements, minerals and essential<br />

enzymes. A scientific study at the Shizuka<br />

University in Japan has proven ACV to have potent<br />

antioxidant benefits (It can destroy free radicals,<br />

which are a major factor in ageing.) and also the<br />

ACV can break down cholesterol formations in the<br />

blood vessels.<br />

Good health starts with good digestion and<br />

assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken before food<br />

will stimulate and promote healthy digestion and<br />

assimilation of vital nutrients for good health. A<br />

well-functioning digestive system helps prevent<br />

disease by neutralising any toxic substances that<br />

enter the body.<br />

It is important to note not all ACV is produced<br />

in the traditional way and results are likely to prove<br />

disappointing with these other vinegars.<br />

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV with<br />

20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />

Canterbury from Organic whole<br />

apples in the traditional way. It is<br />

double strength so you can use<br />

less.<br />

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

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!<br />

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

contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the<br />

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.<br />

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS:<br />

• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as<br />

shown in research<br />

• Advanced new cold extraction better<br />

preserves the natural nutrient profile<br />

found in fish<br />

• Naturally contains phospholipids to<br />

The extraction of air from the bathroom opening a window can draw cold air into<br />

should be a priority for all houses and the bathroom and blow the smelly, moisture<br />

commercial buildings.<br />

laden bathroom air into the house.<br />

Bathrooms can generate a large quantity Modern houses are built to be very<br />

of steam and odours. It is important this airtight and require mechanical ventilation<br />

compromised air does not circulate around such as extraction fans or heat exchanger<br />

systems. Although older houses can be<br />

Bathroom odours can be unpleasant, draughty, the air often flows in the wrong<br />

especially when near living, sleeping or direction. Therefore, they also usually<br />

working areas.<br />

require mechanical ventilation to keep the<br />

The moisture generated by showers and air quality higher.<br />

baths can be damaging to your home and The quality of the air we breathe affects our<br />

furnishings and be a major contribution health and ability to perform. We breathe<br />

to condensation. Damp houses are not a in and out approximately 20,000 litres of<br />

healthy environment for anyone to live in, air every day. It is therefore very important<br />

especially for children or other vulnerable to ensure good air quality indoors through<br />

people.<br />

adequate ventilation.<br />

By extracting air from the bathroom to To ensure the quality of your air, contact<br />

bathrooms, and look into air exchange for<br />

your whole building. Smooth-Air offers<br />

a wide range of ventilation equipment,<br />

from air vents to ducting for fans, for both<br />

the commercial and domestic markets.<br />

They have an extensive range of fans and<br />

ventilation components in-store but they<br />

can also provide innovative solutions<br />

Choosing the<br />

right heat pump<br />

for your home<br />

Are you struggling with the heat of<br />

Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />

Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />

patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />

of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />

advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />

represents great value for your investment<br />

as you can use it all year round. The team<br />

at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you<br />

cool this Summer either at home or work.<br />

Enviro Master supplies, installs and services<br />

all the leading brands including Panasonic,<br />

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means<br />

our team can show you which system and<br />

brand will best suit your needs.<br />

With new regulations coming in for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />

now is a great time to beat the 1st of<br />

July deadline. Inadequate heating and<br />

ventilation can lead to mould growth and<br />

dampness in your property, leading to<br />

costlier maintenance and an unhealthy<br />

living environment. Providing a fixed<br />

heater with a higher heat output and lower<br />

running costs, like a heat pump, will enable<br />

your tenants to heat the area effectively.<br />

It will also discourage them from using<br />

unflued gas heaters which can make a<br />

house damp and mouldy.<br />

It is important to remember, when<br />

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />

warranty does not cover the installation<br />

and consumers could be responsible for<br />

any repair or damage caused to the system<br />

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s<br />

five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />

correct installation, and a demonstration<br />

so customers have an understanding on<br />

how it will best meet their needs.<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />

The former New Zealand<br />

title-holder trave led with his<br />

father George and brother<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffered damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />
