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 

Please get in touch with 

my office if you need any

Glenn 

Livingstone 

Authorised by Hon Megan Woods, Shop 6, McCathy St, Christchurch 

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.”

AN INTERESTING political move from 

one of the city’s best known businessmen 

(see page 1). 

Phil Mauger, who lives in Avonhead, 

has his sights set on the east – incumbent 

Glenn Livingstone’s Burwood Ward council 

seat. 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 lives 

out west. 

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.

Projects to improve bus service 

Local 


Now 

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

PEAK TIME traffic is causing 

buses travelling on Halswell 

and Lincoln Rds to run behind 

schedule. 

But residents relying on the 

transport system may have to 

wait until 2021 for the problem 

to be resolved. 

THe Orange Line and No. 60 

bus running behind schedule 

as a result of 

busy traffic has 

been raised by 

the Halswell 

Residents’ 

Association. 

In a 

submission 

David Hawke 

to the city 

council’s 

Annual Plan, the association 

has thrown its support behind 

several public transport projects 

proposed in the draft Annual 

Plan 2019-2020 to help reduce 

the problem. 

City-wide projects include bus 

priority electronic installations 

delivery project, and public 

transport ITS installations. 

They will provide real-time 

travel information to passengers 

waiting at bus stops including 

those at Halswell. 

THe projects are anticipated to 

be undertaken over the next two 

to three years. 

DELAY: The Halswell Residents’ Association says the Orange 

Line often runs behind schedule at peak traffic times. 

THe association’s secretary 

David Hawke said making the 

buses faster and more predictable 

has three components. 

“One of these is bus priority 

lanes, another is passengers 

knowing exactly when their bus 

will arrive, and the remaining 

component is speeding the 

transit of buses by giving 

them priority at signalised 

intersections,” he said. 

Since the start of the year, 

Environment Canterbury has 

received four complaints over the 

timeliness of the Orange Line 

and 60 routes. 

Mr Hawke said the two 

projects complement the city 

council’s $13 million plans to 

widen Lincoln Rd between 

Curletts and Wrights Rds. The 

project is planned to begin in 

2020/21 financial year. 

An Environment Canterbury 

spokeswoman said the Lincoln 

Rd project will improve 

travel times for Orange Line 

passengers. 

“We supported that project 

and it is part of an ongoing 

process. We need to get public 

transport priorities all the way 

from Halswell right through to 

the central city.” 

Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman Chrys Horn said 

the buses are generally full at 

rush hour and it would be good 

to see bus lanes installed in 

Halswell. 

“THere are no bus lanes here 

and because we have grown so 

fast, we have got a lot of traffic 

going into the city,” she said. 

Dr Horn said she prefers to 

cycle, but when she has used 

the buses, there have been times 

when they have not run on 

schedule. 

Last year, a Ministry of 

Transport survey found public 

transport in the city was the 

lowest in the country with nearly 

two-thirds of its population 

choosing to avoid the bus. 

From January 2017 to 

January 2018, it was found 

only 35 per cent of people used 

buses. 

“We need to be quite bold in 

setting it up because we have got 

one of the lowest public transport 

user numbers of any place in New 

Zealand,” Dr Horn said. 

But an ECan spokeswoman 

said for the current financial 

year, patronage is up 1.5 per cent. 

She said this could be due to 

more people travelling to and 

from the city.

SCHOOL BUS PARKING 

School bus parking will be 

created on Riccarton Rd near 

Kirkwood Intermediate School 

to improve the safety and 

convenience of school buses 

picking up pupils. The Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board approved installing 

“school buses only” parking 

restrictions. 

NEW HOME FOR GECKOS 

More native geckos have been 

given a new home in Riccarton 

Bush. Last month Dr Graham 

Ussher and his team from RMA 

Ecology safely captured waitaha 

geckos from the Gollans Bay 

quarry, beside Lyttelton Port, and 

released them in Riccarton Bush. 

The eastern part of the Gollans 

Bay quarry has not been quarried 

before and is being used as part 

of the Lyttelton Port Company’s 

Te Awaparahi Bay reclamation 

project. A similar release of 

geckos was carried out in 2012 as 

part of the Sumner Rd recovery 

project.

Less trees 

for middle of 

Riccarton Rd 

A PLANNED tree-planted 

median strip in Riccarton Rd will 

be shortened and have fewer trees 

to ensure there are no barriers for 

emergency services. 

The median island will run 

between Clarence and Matipo 

Sts and is part of a project to 

replace and upgrade outdated 

underground pipes and rebuild 

the road to accommodate bus 

priority measures between 

Harakeke and Matipo Sts. 

City council transport planning 

and delivery manager Lynette 

Ellis said the adjustments will 

ensure that the median island is 

easier to negotiate for emergency 

services. 

The median will help make 

Riccarton Rd a pedestrianfriendly 

destination for shoppers 

and visitors, with streetscape 

enhancements and trees creating 

a traffic calming effect. 

The trees will remain through 

the central shopping area of 

Riccarton Rd. 

However, there will be 10 fewer 

trees than originally planned at 

the outer edges of the project and 

around intersections. 

Work on the median strip 

is expected to start in April 

2020. 

Call for policy after bottle store fight 


A LONG battle to stop an 

off-licence liquor store from 

going into Halswell has raised 

questions over why the city 

doesn’t have its own Local 

Alcohol Policy. 

THe Halswell Residents’ 

Association has requested the 

city council develops its LAP 

policy after appealing against 

the decision allowing Bottle-O 

Halswell to open a store at 29 

Ensign St. 

THe association’s secretary 

David Hawke said the drawnout 

process has highlighted 

“significant deficiencies” in 

alcohol inspectors and the 

knowledge base of agencies and 

district licensing committee 

members. 

“THe alcohol licensing 

managers and their staff are 

forced to rely on the general 

provision of the Sale and Supply 

of Alcohol Act 2012 in framing 

their recommendations on each 

licence application.” 

Mr Hawke said the act is very 

high level and the objectors have 

no real guidance as to whether 

they are wasting their time 

or if they have a chance in a 

successful appeal. 

“THe same is true of potential 

applicants, they have only the act 

TIRED: A fight to stop an off-licence liquor store from opening 

in Halswell has a residents’ association questioning why the 

city doesn’t have a Local Alcohol Policy. 

to guide them in preparing their 

business case,” he said. 

THe city council began 

developing a draft LAP in 2013 

but decided not to continue with 

the process last year. 

City council’s head of strategic 

policy Emma Davis said it 

instead resolved background 

work on the issue including 

identifying any alcohol-related 

harm issues should continue. 

THis information will form a 

report which will be provided 

in the new term following the 

October elections which will 

determine if a LAP is the best 

tool to address alcohol-related 

harm. 

In December, Bottle-O 

Halswell Ltd was granted an 

application to open the store, but 

the decision was appealed by the 

association. 

THe hearing for the appeal will 

be held on July 30. 

In March, Western News 

reported Bottle-O Halswell Ltd 

was negotiating to lease the 

premises on 29 Ensign St instead 

of buying it. 

Director and shareholder 

Wendy Gibbons did not respond 

to confirm if it would be leasing 

the premises. 

Mr Hawke said the appeal 

against the bottle store had 

forced the association to be sidelined 

from doing other projects 

in the community since August 

last year. 

“It is more than time as well. 

It is people’s headspace. It has 

had a major effect on us that’s for 

sure,” he said. 

Under The Sale and Supply 

of Alcohol Act 2012, a LAP can 

allow for communities to limit 

the locations of licences in areas 

or near certain types of facilities 

such as schools or churches. 

Conditions can be imposed 

on groups of licences, such as a 

“one-way door” condition which 

allows patrons to leave premises 

but not enter or re-enter after a 

certain time.

Fresh ideas for residents’ association 


JOHN REDDIFORD knew 

nothing about the Ilam and 

Upper Riccarton Residents’ 

Association before he was 

appointed chairman. 

He even jokes he was appointed 

in “quite a controversial 

manner” as he lives out of the 

zone resident associations’ zone 

on Hamilton Ave. 

But after being asked by former 

chairwoman Sue Chamberlain 

if he was interested in the 

role, he was prompted to take up 

the opportunity. 

But Mr Reddiford, an investment 

adviser, is passionate about 

the Ilam/Upper Riccarton area 

with hopes it can be turned into a 

social centre for the community. 

“We don’t have many places to 

eat or drink. I’d like to see a bit 

of a centre for the area,” he said. 

His first meeting will be on 

Wednesday where he wants to 

set goals with the association on 

what they want to achieve and 

how they will achieve them. 

With his office based in St 

Albans, Mr Reddiford takes 

inspiration from the area. 

He said it has strong community 

initiatives such as The 

St Albans Pavilion and Pool Inc 

fundraising for the new Edgeware 

swimming pool. 

INSPIRATION: John 

Reddiford, the new 

chairman of the Ilam 

and Upper Riccarton 

Residents’ Association 

wants to have a close 

relationship with 

Canterbury University. 

“I just want to see it become 

like certain areas – like Merivale 

has got Merivale Mall. That we 

can put on things for our residents 

– events they can go to. 

“At the end of the year, we will 

have the Ngaio Marsh Theatre. I 

want people to say I live in Ilam 

and I am proud of it,” Mr Reddiford 

said. 

Although he has only lived 

in the Ilam area for about two 

years, he has had a long association 

with Canterbury University. 

In 1972 he studied history, 

economics and management 

there. Between 2010 to last year, 

he was the president of the university’s 

alumni. 

Mr Reddiford will attend his 

first meeting next month to start 

planning for university’s 150th 

anniversary in 2023. 

“We have got to have a close 

relationship with the university 

because there are 16,000 students 

there,” he said. 

Mr Reddiford has a strong background 

in business having worked 

for a range of companies including 

as an area sales manager for NZI 

Life, a national sales manager at 

Fidelity Life Assurance Company 

Ltd and is the co-chairman of 

Planet Financial Ltd. 

When asked by Western News 

if he would consider putting his 

name forward for the upcoming 

elections, Mr Reddiford said he 

had “never thought of it.” 

“All I want to do is make sure 

Christchurch is getting back on 

its feet rather than being known 

in London or New York for 

earthquakes and people killing 

each other,” he said. 

Mrs Chamberlain said he lives 

in Ilam and has a great interest 

in supporting the community. 

“I think he has got a great 

rapport with the people and is a 

great leader. He has got leadership 

skills, I think that is what 

residents need,” she said. 

Mauger to stand 

for council 

•From page 1 

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.” 

In 2015, Mr Mauger was 

seriously injured on his way to 

compete in the Bathurst 12 Hour 

race in New South Wales when his 

rental car was rear-ended by a fuel 

tanker. 

He suffered multiple fractures 

and a collapsed lung and was in a 

coma for three days.

Time for council to focus on Avonhead 

Avonhead 

Community 

Group 

chairman 

Somnath 

Sarkar 

Bagchi writes 

about the 

need for the 

city council to invest in the 

suburb 

When we shifted to Avonhead 

from Fendalton in 2004, it was a 

suburb with character. 

Part rural, part residential, it 

drew families with school-going 

children like my own because 

of its proximity to good public 

schools and convenient traveltime 

to the city centre. 

The majority of our neighbours 

were friendly, retired 

couples. 

Avonhead was no Fendalton 

or Merivale but it was diverse 

and had a sense of pride. 

The roads were well surfaced, 

the street gutters clean of leaves, 

the parks regularly mowed. 

Avonhead Mall was the main 

establishment, with Monteith’s 

Brewery Bar as its busy drawcard. 

Cafe Euro came up in the mid- 

2000s and became a fixture for 

semi-social meetings. 

WAITING: Avonhead Community Group chairman Somnath 

Sarkar Bagchi said the long-planned sporting facility for 

Avonhead Park, which backs onto the cemetery, remains 

indefinitely on hold. 

Fast track to 2019 and Avonhead 

has lost that vibe of being a 

suburb that takes pride in itself. 

The mall looks tired and has 

one or two empty retail spaces. 

Monteith’s is still going strong 

but Cafe Euro has been closed 

for several months with silence 

hovering over its future. 

The semi-rural character is 

gone, a sprawling retirement 

village takes up what used to be 

former pasture land. 

The earthquakes have not 

been kind to the pavements. 

The street gutters are now leafstrewn 

and many patches of the 

roadside get surface flooding. 

It sometimes takes time for the 

lawns to be mown. 

Many of the elderly couples 

whom we knew when we first 

moved in have either passed 

away or shifted to retirement 

villages. 

Some of these changes are the 

inevitable result of time. 

Others are not. 

The city council’s spending 

priorities changed understandably 

after the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes. 

Avonhead, which was fortunate 

to have escaped relatively 

unscathed, dropped out of the 

city council’s list of areas to 

focus on. 

No one can complain that this 

was the case for the first five or 

six years after the earthquakes. 

Eight years on, however, it 

increasingly feels like the city 

council has taken Avonhead for 

granted. 

Other suburbs have got new 

roads and malls while Avonhead 

has got patchwork repairs. 

The long-planned sporting 

facility for Avonhead Park remains 

indefinitely on hold. 

The efforts to take care of the 

suburb and its heritage, namely 

the cemetery, have come mainly 

from the local community 

group. 

When can residents expect the 

city council to focus its attention 

back to Avonhead?

Just like they have on the 

other three lights there. 

Heather Wilkins – It doesn’t 

help that at the lights there aren’t 

always separate turning lanes. 

Where there are turning lanes, 

they all need to turn like they do 

at the main set at Shands Rd and 

Main South Rd. That would help 

speed the traffic up. The Buchanans/Carmen 

Rds lights don’t. The 

right turning light onto Carmen 

Rd from the Pound Rd end of 

Buchanans Rd, turns green at the 

same time as the through traffic. 

Then you are lucky to get one car 

through.

FUNDRAISER: Hornby High School teacher Juliet Buenaventura 

and her band performing a Filipino song. 

Concert for a cause 


SCHOOLS 

HORNBY HIGH School has 

showcased its brightest talent to 

help fundraise for those impacted 

by the Christchurch terror 

attacks. 

The concert, organised by the 

school’s team of prefects has 

raised more than $530. 

The money will go towards 

supporting the family of the 

Springs Rd Dairy, an affected 

family at the school and for a 

man who works at GAS Hornby. 

Prefect Shardey Jade, 17, said it 

wanted to show how important it 

was to bring the school together 

to support those affected. 

“Every term we have made a 

goal to run events. Our goal was 

to arrange a fundraiser so we 

could bring the Hornby community 

together,” she said. 

The Hornby community was 

hugely affected by the attacks. 

The owner of the Springs Rd 

Dairy, Junaid Ismail died at Majhid 

Al Noor on March 15. 

A father of a student at Hornby 

High School and a man who 

works at GAS Hornby was injured 

during the attacks. 

About 100 people including the 

performers attended the event. 

The concert featured 14 acts 

including performances from the 

school choir Voices With Soul, 

guitar and vocal soloists and 

group numbers from the school’s 

staff. 

Miss Jade said the school does 

not yet have the full total yet for 

the fundraiser with donations 

still yet to come in from several 

teachers who were unable to attend 

the concert. 

Principal Robin Sutton said it 

was an amazing event and speaks 

so much for the leadership, heart 

and passion the students have.

Speaker stolen from school 


AN OUTDOOR speaker stolen 

from South Hornby School may 

have been built into a bicycle’s 

sound system. 

Police are continuing to follow 

up on the theft of a speaker from 

the primary school on May 5 at 

11.43pm. 

Three young men were caught 

on CCTV footage at the time of 

the incident. 

Principal Wendy Huriwai said 

it was from talking to police she 

learnt it was likely the speaker 

was stolen to mount onto a bicycle 

to create into a sound system. 

Three panel sheets were damaged 

in total and two outdoor 

speakers will have to be replaced 

after an unsuccessful attempt 

was made to steal a second 

speaker. 

The attempt damaged the second 

speaker beyond repair. 


A NEW building to help an 

organisation continue providing 

community support to the Hei 

Hei/Broomfield area, has rolled 

into the neighbourhood. 

The Hei Hei Broomfield Community 

Development Trust, also 

known as “126 On The Corner”, 

had a new building arrive last 

week. Community development 

worker Tracey Buunk said the 

building with two rooms and 

two smaller offices will give the 

Mrs Huriwai said it is “extremely 

disappointing” as the 

money going towards repairing 

the damage cannot be spent on 

other projects in the school. 

The school did not yet have an 

estimation on what the cost of 

installing the new speakers and 

repairing the panels would be. 

Last year police were investigating 

a spate of thefts of 

outdoor speakers from schools 

across the city after 19 were stolen 

in the space of a month. 

Mrs Huriwai said: “We have 

a beautiful school which is well 

resourced to help our tamariki 

meet their full potential. 

“Our school community works 

hard to provide the best for our 

children but unfortunately, some 

young men feel their need is 

greater and are willing to damage 

our buildings and steal from 

our children.”

Wall on the radar for 

national baseball honours 

• By Jacob Page 

MULTI-TALENTED Selwyn 

baseballer Te Ahu Wall is 

starting to turn heads on a 

national level. 

The 16-year-old who can pitch, 

hit and play the outfield was a 

nominee for New Zealand Baseball 

under-19 player of the year at 

the annual awards a fortnight ago. 

While he did not win it, the 

Canterbury age-group representative 

hoped it could lead to 

him being part of more national 

teams. 

Te Ahu, who lives in Rolleston 

and attends St Thomas’ of Canterbury 

where he plays flanker in 

the second XV during the winter 

months, said his nomination 

came as a shock. 

“I was surprised to be up for 

the award but it was an honour,’’ 

he said. 

Te Ahu made the Canterbury 

under-19 team and won the Canterbury 

senior baseball competition 

with Selwyn and was part of 

his club’s under-19 team which 

finished fourth in the country 

two months. 

Te Ahu said he preferred to 

play centre field and believed his 

hitting had been the aspect of his 

game which had improved the 

most over the past 12 months. 

“I’ve been getting more contact 

and hitting the ball harder. 

ACTION: Selwyn baseballer Te Ahu Wall can play three 

positions in the field and has a promising future ahead of him. 

“I like getting a pitch I can hit 

as soon as I see it. 

“My throwing from the outfield 

has improved and become 

more accurate,” he said. 

He said winning the Canterbury 

title with Selwyn was a 

highlight. 

Te Ahu, who was 13 when he 

started playing baseball with his 

WESTERN NEWS 

friends, said he also plays softball 

when he can and he just enjoyed 

playing both games in the summer. 

Te Ahu said he watched a lot 

of Major League Baseball and he 

liked watching Boston Red Sox 

outfielder Mookie Betts. 

“The aim for me is to be part of 

a national team.’’

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.

alongside people, so when the opportunity 

arose to purchase the Driving Miss Daisy 

Riccarton franchise, he immediately knew 

that it would be the perfect fit. Going the 

extra mile comes naturally to Dave and he 

is excited about providing the Driving Miss 

Daisy service to new and existing clients.

drives. It’s about helping people maintain, or 

regain, their independence. They provide a 

professional and flexible service, catering to 

specific needs and requirements. 

Dave and his team are happy to accompany 

clients to appointments, to the hairdresser, 

the doctor or physiotherapist; help with 

shopping, at the supermarket or buying 

that special new outfit! They love to take 

clients on an outing; to a café or the movies 

and sometimes they will take two or three 

people together for companionship. They 

will always go the extra mile, open the car 

door, carry the shopping and assist clients 

to and from their front door as required. 

Driving Miss Daisy is committed to helping 

clients get out and about, so they can live 

life to the full and enjoy every moment and 

ensure that their experience is memorable.

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.

NOT all FISH OIl IS CreaTed eQUal! 

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 

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

manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better

• Advanced new cold extraction better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile 

found in fish 

• Naturally contains phospholipids to 

support cellular health

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 

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, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this week. 

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.”
