MORT THE dog had a rough

About eight months ago, the

up and under weight, covered
in fleas and worms on a farm in
Timaru.
But the 14-month-old had
a lucky escape when he was
rescued by a dairy farmer
and now has a new home in
Halswell.
His new owner Vikki Smith,
30, said when she first brought
him home in December, the
unruly dog had “no social

• By Julia Evans
THE SPEED limit in the
Woolston Village precinct may
be dropped.
Consultation is set to begin on
lowering the speed limit along
Ferry Rd from Portman St to
nearly Palinurus Rd to 30km/h.
Part of St Johns St, Maronan
St, Oak St, Heathcote St,
Portman St and Glenroy St
would also be lowered to 40km/h
as part of the proposal.
Public feedback on the plan
will open on June 17 and close on
July 8 before being approved by
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board and city
council in August.
Speed limit drops around
Sumner will be consulted on at
the same time.
The Esplanade would have a
speed limit of 30km/h, while a
large part of residential Sumner
would be dropped to 40km/h.
The move follows previous
consultation on the Sumner
and Ferry Rd master plans,
which approved implementing a
12-month trial.

THERE’S A very heart-warming story
on the front page today about Mort, the
huntaway cross.
Many dogs have sad lives; neglected and
beaten by cowardly owners who treat them
badly simply because they can.
These dogs have complex behavioural problems. The
underlying ones are fear and mistrust which in turn lead to
more issues.
But luckily Mort now has a loving home and is doing well.
It takes a lot of care and love, not to mention patience, to turn
a rescue dog around. But as Mort’s new owner Vikki Smith is
finding, the rewards are worth it.
Treat a dog well and they will return the affection and be a
loyal mate for life.

Roberts Rd a rubbish dump
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
SECURITY CAMERAS are not
the answer to address a road
in Hornby being continuously
targeted for fly-tipping.
Whiteware, green waste and
furniture has plagued an isolated
area of Roberts Rd for years and
burnt out cars are often found
there.
But city council’s
street maintenance
manager
Mark Pinner said
installing CCTV
footage or signage
is not the answer
as the culprits
will readily relocate
elsewhere.
Marc Duff
Instead, he said increased public
vigilance and reporting – as
well as education and enforcement
are needed to make people
realise it is not acceptable.
Greater Hornby Residents’ Association
chairman Marc Duff
said it is an issue he is looking at
raising at the association’s next
meeting.
He said he would like to see
more surveillance of the road as
the cost of the city council having
to clean up the rubbish could
easily be put towards cameras.

But Mr Pinner said he is

The city council’s most recent
clean-up was on May 15.
In the last 18 months, it has received
28 complaints regarding
rubbish on the road – 21 were
of separate events while some
received multiple calls.
Fines for people caught littering
can range from $100-$400

He said there had been another
couple of loads of rubbish
including table, chairs, clothing,
branches and rubbish over the
past week.
Mr Hornbrook wasn’t sure
what could be done but suggested
additional lighting and more
signage stating no dumping or
fines will concur.
He suspected the fly-tipping
was happening mostly at
night.

TREE REMOVAL
The city council will remove
about 172 trees at Quaifes Rd,
Halswell. The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
has received a memorandum
stating the trees are required to
be removed for the construction
of the Cox’s Quaifes Stormwater
Facility. The facility will be
constructed north of Quaifes Rd
to cater for development planned
in the city council’s South West
Area Plan 2009. Construction of
the facility will require extensive
excavation, resulting in the
removal of existing trees
within the site. All trees have
been found to be in poor
condition.

Work will start on the last

construction will take place
on Halswell Rd from Halswell

Controversial liquor store plan met
A plan for a liquor store
in Redcliffs went before
the district licensing
committee recently. Louis
Day reports
THE POLICE, the city council’s
district licensing inspector and
the Canterbury District Health
Board’s medical officer of health
all have no issue with the liquor
store planned for the Main Rd
shopping area.
But a number of Redcliffs
residents don’t want it.
Forty-six
made written
submissions
opposing the
plan, while
nine gave oral
submissions
at the hearing
and a petition
Neralie
containing
97 names was
presented to
Brittenden
the hearings panel.
Rizak Enterprises Ltd wants
to put the off-licence in at 1/87
Main Rd and operate from
Monday to Sunday, 9am to
10pm.
Redcliffs resident of 23
years Neralie Brittenden’s
closing statement during her
oral submission was met with

applause and cheers from the
public gallery.
“There is a billboard that
says say nope to dope, equally
to that I say nah to liqaaa,” she
said.
She is concerned about the
impact a liquor outlet could have
on youth in the area. “I have
12 grandchildren and I’m very
mindful of the social issues that
alcohol presents while kids are
growing up,” she told the threeperson
panel, chaired by Cindy
Robinson.
“I view it as an unnecessary
influence on our young people.”
This was a concern for many
objectors.
Rizak Enterprises Ltd sole
director and shareholder Juraj
Singh felt he was experienced
enough to mitigate alcohol harm
in the community. Mr Singh
referred to the success of his
Thirsty Liquor outlet in Papanui,
which he has run for three years.
“The application to renew the
licence was not opposed by the
reporting agencies, nor were
there any objectors. I have good
relationships within the local
community with both residents
and business owners. The good

order and amenity of the vicinity
has not been reduced in any
way,” he said.
Counsel Peter Egden does not
think what his client is proposing
poses more of a threat than the
Redcliffs New World alcohol
section.
“What Mr Singh proposes
is far better than the exposure
to alcohol at the supermarket,
where a child can go to the
supermarket unaccompanied
and go up and down the liquor
aisle unattended. They won’t even
be able to go into Mr Singh’s
store,” he said.

call us 384 9630
www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz
Mr Singh originally proposed
to operate the business under
the Thirsty Liquor franchise,
but decided to resubmit his
application as an independent
fine wine and spirits store.
Mr Singh said there would not
be the outdoor advertising that
characterises a typical bottle
store and he would ensure the
windows would be frosted to
the height of the shelving so the
alcohol would not be visible from
the street.
Sumner Redcliffs Anglican
assistant curate
John Fox
labelled the
application as
“incomplete and
inconsistent.”
Dr Fox
questioned
whether a fine
wine and spirits
store should be
selling RTDs.
Peter Egden
Mr Singh said
not all RTDs are bad.
“Old aged people love RTDs,
like Gordon’s gin and tonic.”
Dr Fox did not think Mr Singh
would be a “good neighbour.”
He referred to when Mr Singh
received a six-week suspension of
his manager’s certificate in 2011
for selling alcohol to an underage
person.

with opposition
Dr Fox thought Mr Singh’s
application failed to cater
for Redcliffs “vulnerable
community.”
“We have substantial areas
where people are still recovering
from the earthquakes and we
obviously had the terrorist attack.
What we would have liked to
see is a much more responsible
approach to alcohol harm.”
Mr Singh’s application was also
criticised by Redcliffs resident
Jackie Jones.
She questioned why Mr Singh
did not include tobacco in his
application when he had full
intentions of selling it in his store.
Mr Singh said he simply forgot
to include it in his application.
“Everyone sometimes forgets,
when you get ready you forget a
watch or something,” he said.
Ms Jones responded: “This is a
legal document and this is what
really concerns me. A process
must be seen to be followed.”
Redcliffs resident Dan
Tremewan was concerned the
instalment of a liquor outlet
would increase the amount
of disorderly behaviour on
Beachville Reserve.
Mr Tremewan said he would
often come across piles of soiled
clothing and inebriated people
sleeping on the reserve.
He said he had also been met
Dan Tremewan
with threats of violence when
asking people keep the noise
down late at night.
“There are already too many
problems on the reserve and we
don’t want to see alcohol access
extended and the problems
increase,” he said.
Mr Egden questioned whether
Mr Tremewan would challenge
New World’s liquor licence when
it came under review.
Mr Tremewan responded: “No
teenagers I know go and drink
pinot gris, they go and drink
RTDs.”
Senior Constable Logan Steele,
for the police, city council alcohol
licencing inspector Hamish Little
and Canterbury District Health
Board medical officer of health
John Fox
George Paul put questions to
both Mr Singh and the objectors
during the hearing.
They had declared at the
start of the hearing they had no
objection to the application.
The district licensing
committee will now consider
all the information that has
been submitted to them in the
hearings process.
A city council spokeswoman
said it was unclear when they
would come to a final decision.

Sumner Rd reopening helps businesses
LYTTELTON businesses are
enjoying the benefits of a rise
in visitors since Sumner Rd
reopened two months ago.
The road connecting Lyttelton
and Sumner was closed to
traffic for eight years following
extensive damage in the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
It reopened at the end of March
after contractors spent two-anda-half
years working to reduce
rockfall risk and then repairing
and reinstating the route.
City council traffic counts on
Evans Pass Rd at the bottom
of the hill in Sumner show a
50 per cent increase in traffic
on weekdays. On weekends,
the average number of vehicles
more than doubled in the two
weeks after the road reopened,
compared to the previous two
weeks.
The average number of vehicles
on a weekday grew from 1128 to
1750; on Saturdays it rose from
1292 to 2951; and on Sundays it
increased from 1455 to 3045.
Lyttelton Harbour Business
Association chairman Rob
de Thier, who owns Lyttelton
SuperValue, said there has been
a dramatic pick-up in customers
for local businesses, particularly
in the hospitality sector.
“It’s been good, especially
for the coffee shops and bars.
They’ve seen a noticeable increase
since the road opened. With
the supermarket it’s been steady
instead of the normal drop-off we
would have going into April and
May. We haven’t had that yet,” he
said. “We’ve also noticed what
we call the ‘lycra brigade’ arrive
en masse. After biking over the
hill, they’ll stop here at the end

reopened in March.
of their ride to have coffees and
meals.”
Lyttelton Coffee Culture owner
Leona Cooper said the upturn
was “absolutely noticeable”.
“We’ve seen an increase every
day, not just on weekends.
There’s the cycling group and
more elderly and middle-aged
people. For some people it still is
a scary thing heading through
the tunnel, so for them, I think
it’s really cool that they can
come back to Lyttelton and take
a scenic route getting here,” she
said.

Clock tower
repairs to start
next month
THE REPAIR of the New
Brighton Clock Tower is set to
begin next month.
The city council capital delivery
team has finished evaluating
tenders from a number of
contractors and should award
the contract in the coming
weeks.
Once the repairs are under
way they are expected to take
six to eight months.
The clock tower has been
surrounded by scaffolding and
covered in plastic since March
last year, costing ratepayers
$1500 a month.
Repairs were due to start in
September last year, but were
delayed after detailed investigation
revealed more damage and
overdue maintenance-related
issues than expected.
Most of the damage has been
caused by exposure to the coastal
environment, which has caused
erosion to structural steel.
The repairs will involve the
replacement of two cracked
internal floors, addressing
drainage issues and the application
of concrete and corrosion
treatments. The repairs will
take place at the same time as
the repair of the Scarborough
Clock Tower in Sumner.

Giving Mort a new start
•From page 1
But determined not to
give up, Ms Smith initially
started taking Mort to the
edge of Westlake Reserve
to get him used to seeing
other dogs.
Now Mort has
participated in his first
cross-country competition
for canines and is training
to take part in upcoming
agility competitions in the
summer.
Recently he finished
second in the Canterbury
Sled Dog Club’s Winter
Solstice competition
with Ms Smith’s partner
Michael Murray.
“He absolutely loves it.
As soon as his harness goes
on, he sees you putting his
running gear on and he
gets so excited.”
Ms Smith spends about
10 hours a week training
Mort and he also attends
the Selwyn Dog Training
Club.
“When dogs are puppies
it is really important they
learn to focus on you when
there are other dogs around
. . . Mort didn’t have any
of that. I noticed when I
first got him if any dog was
around he would just lose
his head,” he said.
Ms Smith also suspects
Mort was trained with
physical punishment.
While Mort is still not
quite ready to walk off-lead
at the park, Ms Smith
believes he will in the
future.
She said considering
what he has been through,
he has got “a cheerful

disposition.”
“He is just such a happy
dog, it gives you such
a good outlook on life
because he just finds joy
in the most simple things
like an egg box or a tennis
ball.
“You just think life is
not about being really
successful in your career
or whatever, it is just about
being happy from day to
day,” Ms Smith said.
Mort is named after a
character in the fantasy
novel Mort by Terry
Pratchett.
“The description of Mort
said it looks as though
he is entirely made out of
knees - un-coordinated
and knobbly. That is a
pretty good description of
my dog.”

Podcast tells rebarkable stories
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Julia Evans
FIRST THERE was Humans of
New York – now there is Dogs of
New Brighton.
Heritage New Zealand outreach
worker Michele Hollis has released
the pilot episode of her podcast
series – Dogs of New Brighton –
which shares the lives of canines at
the beach and their owners.
“Almost every day I’ve walked
on the beach, mostly with Jess
(her 12-year-old bearded collie
huntaway cross), but I’ve been
thinking for months and months
about how dogs bring people
together in New Brighton,” she
said.
“Christchurch is a dog city, but
New Brighton is the dog capital of
Christchurch.”
Ms Hollis said every dog has a
story. She takes a little inspiration
from the Humans of New York
phenomenon, a photoblog and
book of street portraits and
interviews collected in the Big
Apple.
“It’s great to tell stories. They
talk about regular people, this is
regular dogs,” she said.
Ms Hollis said walking along
the beach with a dog opened
conversation channels that were
otherwise closed – something
which should be celebrated.
“You find out how they got
the dog, what kind of breed it
is, all those wonderful stories.
You realise how many diverse
experiences people pack into their
lives,” she said.
“You find actually people are
really interesting and most people
are really lovely.”
Jess is the show’s co-host.
“She’s a retired working dog.
We rescued her from a stockyard.
There was a meatworks just
outside of Wellington . . . the
shepherd just walked off the job.”
Ms Hollis said Jess is “starting
to slow down” but will still do
anything for food, including cohost
a podcast.
“She’s a very even-tempered
dog and is particularly attached
to me. She loves going to the
beach and just hanging out.”
The pilot episode of Dogs of
New Brighton features Shanti,
a papillon from North New
Brighton, and her owner Su
Jorgensen, an organic hairdresser.
“Shanti only has three legs
because she was hit by a car
before her new owner got her
. . . at the hairdresser. Shanti will
come and jump up and sit on
your lap,” she said.
The pilot was a success and
now Ms Hollis is waiting to hear
back from PlainsFM about a
fortnightly Monday slot.
“I want to celebrate our
distinctness . . . New Brighton is a
place that’s got a lot going for it.”
However, Ms Hollis said while
the first few episodes will focus
on dogs from the Brighton area,
there will be some from across
the city. “I’ve already got my eye
on a few people who bring their
dogs in from across town.”
DOGGONE: Michele Hollis and
Jess are co-hosting the Dogs
of New Brighton podcast,
which looks into the stories
behind the area’s canines.

Bunny crosses protest calcivirus
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Julia Evans
PETER RABBIT, Bugs Bunny,
Roger Rabbit, Thumper, Jack
Rabbit and the Easter Bunny.
They are some of children’s
most beloved bunnies and they
now have a grave site at the
Anzac Drive and New Brighton
Rd roundabout.
A hike in the rabbit population
in the red zone over the last
year will see the calicivirus
K5 released in Heathcote,
Brooklands, Horseshoe Lake,
Bexley and Avondale at the end
of June.
On the McLean scale of one
to eight, which measures rabbit
density, biosecurity experts
scored the areas four. That’s an
increase since last spring, which
has led to the virus’ release
and someone putting up the
memorials.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency – which manages the
roundabout – is aware of the
crosses, said maintenance
contract manager North
Canterbury Barry Stratton.
“But [it] is not planning to
remove them unless they cause
safety issues with people not
paying attention to their driving.”
Mr Stratton said the agency
does not know who put the
memorials up.
Land Information New
Zealand Christchurch manager
for land and property, Matt
Bradley, said the K5 virus was the
recommended option as it only
affected European rabbits.
“We consulted with the New
Zealand Veterinary Association

Drive and New

roundabout.
before making the decision to
release the virus. They have
made sure veterinary clinics in
Christchurch are aware so they
can remind all owners of pet
rabbits to take the appropriate
steps to ensure their animals are
vaccinated appropriately,” Mr
Bradley said.
NZVA chief veterinary officer
Helen Beattie said some pet
rabbits in the area will have
some immunity from previous
vaccinations, but others will have
no protection.
“Rabbits vaccinated against
previously released strains of the
calicivirus are likely to have some
immunity but owners should
be aware these animals require
a booster vaccination every 12
months,” Dr Beattie said.
“Rabbits that have not been
vaccinated will not be protected
and owners should have these
animals vaccinated as soon as
possible.” The vaccination can
take up to 21 days to become
effective. Calicivirus is spread
by direct contact with other
rabbits through insect vectors,
such as flies and fleas, or by
contact with contaminated
objects. It kills rabbits within 12
to 36 hours of infection. LINZ
is also monitoring the number
of possums, rats, mice, stoats,
weasels, ferrets and canada geese
in the red zone.
Hospital patients in danger crossing road
• By Matt Slaughter
SOME BURWOOD Hospital
patients are being put in
danger when trying to cross
the Burwood and Mairehau
Rds intersection, says the New
Zealand Spinal Trust.
The trust’s members want
traffic lights to be installed at the
intersection.
A site visit is set to take place
between trust representatives,
city council staff and Burwood
Ward city councillor Glenn
Livingstone, where the trust will
attempt to show the need for
lights.
City council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas said the intersection is
on its radar, but it is too early
to determine how it would be
improved.
“There is a budget allocated in
the current Long Term Plan for
intersection improvements at the
Burwood-Mairehau intersection
and scheme options are currently
being investigated. How and
when the project progresses
will be determined through the
Annual Plan process, which
will be adopted in late June. The
intersection has been on budget
since the 2015-25 Long Term
Plan,” Mr Thomas said.
Spinal trust senior pair support
co-ordinator Brett Ladbrook said
traffic lights would be the safest
option.
“I’ve seen what they’ve done
to the Burwood Rd and QE II
intersection when the traffic
lights were put in there from a
roundabout and that made a
huge difference to the flow of
traffic, but also to pedestrians
being able to get across a very,
very busy road.”
Mr Ladbrook, who uses a
wheelchair, said the intersection,
which patients cross to get to
the nearby shops, is becoming
increasingly busy.
“With the advent of the
Prestons Rd subdivision coming
in, the traffic flow there now is
worse than it’s ever been.”
Mr Ladbrook said at the start
of the year, a woman fell from
her wheelchair and fractured her
foot crossing the road.
The only protection available
to people crossing the road
is four traffic islands and a
roundabout.
Spinal trust chief executive
Hans Wouters said motorists will
sometimes drive through the
roundabout without taking time
to look for pedestrians.
There is only 3-4m between
the traffic islands and each side
of the road, but this is a long way
for inexperienced wheelchair
users, Mr Wouters said.
“They are unskilled wheelchair
users, who are brand new to
disability, lacking in skills and
confidence.
“If someone zips around
the corner coming from the
opposite direction, you could be
compromised.”
Cr Livingstone said a date
is yet to be set for the site
meeting.
WATCH OUT: Hans Wouters
(left) and Brett Ladbrook,
of the New Zealand Spinal
Trust, say the Burwood and
Mairehau Rds intersection is
too dangerous for wheelchair
users.

Late grandmother inspires teen
bowler to successful season
• By Jacob Page
BOWLER BRAEDEN Casware
certainly has a proud supporter
looking down on him when he is
on the green.
The Hillmorton High School
student took up the sport two
years ago after his grandmother,
Irene Harvey, an avid bowler,
died in 2016.
The 16-year-old, who
plays at the Cashmere club,
had a breakthrough season,
finishing second at the
Canterbury secondary school
championships in March and
then finishing 10th in his first
tilt at the national secondary
schools championships in
Auckland a month later.
“My nana played for Halswell
in 2015 and 2016 and then she
retired, and in November of
2016 she died of cancer and after
that I heard she played bowls
and I decided I’d give it a go and
follow in her footsteps,” he said.
A total novice, Braeden has
had to learn the game from
scratch, but said he now loves
the tactics involved.
“The first season was
challenging and I was at
Halswell and they were a big
club so it was hard to make an
impression being the youngest at
the club,” he said.
“I made the switch to
Cashmere because there was a
coach who wanted to train me
there and I’ve since fallen in love
SPORT
ON THE GREEN: Braeden Casware has had a breakthrough
season since he started playing bowls after his grandmother,
Irene Harvey, died.
with Cashmere.”
He still has to keep his grades
high to keep playing.
“Dad said I had to pass NCEA
level one to keep playing, so I
had to pick up my game a bit,”
he said.
Braeden plays football for
Halswell United during the
winter, but he said bowls is his
major sporting focus.
“I really enjoy the game and
I’m improving so I’ll keep at it.”
One day he would like to
represent Canterbury and play
the game professionally.
Talented basketballers pull
off wins for Cashmere High
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE HIGH School’s
senior boys basketball team
were able to defeat two South
Island opponents in one day last
week.
The South Island champions
ran a split squad and beat
Waimea College 70-64 at
their annual schools sports
exchange in Nelson. The
remaining players, including
some debuting year 10s, were
then able to beat Burnside High
School 100-51 in their Thomson
Trophy encounter. Cashmere
also defended the Dowson Cup,
after they ironically won it off
Burnside in 2017.
The cup is the Ranfurly Shield

Cashmere coach Paul Conner
said it was great to have such
depth in the basketball ranks,
but admits he will have “a good
headache” when it comes to
selecting his squad for the South
Island and national tournaments
later this year,
“It’s always a balancing act
between giving the seniors their
last opportunities at tournaments
and having some succession
planning for the future.
“It’s a problem, but a good
problem to have so many quality
players at our school,” he said.
Alex Wenmoth, Tyrese Kissel,
OJ Tilaia, Jack Clelland and
Jayden Olsen all made their
debuts against Burnside High

RISINGHOLM COMMUNITY CENTRE
Cherished homestead
restored and ready to re-open
A cherished community resource in
Opawa, closed since the February 2011
earthquake, is set to re-open this week,
fully restored.
Risingholme, the historic homestead in
Cholmondeley Avenue, was badly damaged
in the earthquake, and then received
further devastating damage in a fire on
Queen’s Birthday weekend, 2016.
The restoration work, which started
in January 2018, is now complete, and
tomorrow Christchurch Mayor Lianne
Dalziel will officially reopen the homestead,
handing it back to the community, which
has been waiting eagerly to use and enjoy
it again.
Registered with the Historic Places Trust
as a Category 2 historic place and now in
its 75th year, this gracious building set in
beautiful park surroundings was purchased
and gifted to the city council in 1943 by
John McKenzie, founder of the McKenzies
retail stores, for the “health, amusement
and instruction of the public”.
That resulted in the ongoing development
of educational and leisure classes, covering
a wide diversity of topics and interests,
which over the years have drawn people of
all ages and backgrounds.
Director of Risingholme Community
Centre, the not-for-profit organisation that
runs the Adult and Community Education
classes, Wendel Karati, says people attend
classes for many reasons, perhaps following
trauma, wanting to learn a new skill, gain
employment or to enjoy the company of
like-minded people as they learn.
“Coming to a class can help restore selfconfidence
and bring new hope for people,”
she says.
During the closure of Risingholme
Homestead and Hall the Risingholme
Community Centre has continued to
operate from 99 Hawford Road, directly
behind Risingholme Park. Classes have
also been held at Riccarton High School,
Hornby High School and Girls’ High, as
well as at other community facilities around
the city.
The full programme of classes is listed on
the Risingholme website and enrolments
can be completed on the website or by
calling into the Risingholme Community
Centre office, 22 Cholmondeley Avenue,
Opawa.
The hall at Risingholme has also
been repaired and is again available for
community groups to hire.
OPEN DAY
Saturday 8th June
10am - 2pm
This Saturday, Risingholme is
holding an open day for people to
come and see the newly restored
homestead and find out about the
classes.
“There has been huge community
interest in the restoration, and this
will be an opportunity for people to
come and celebrate the reopening of
Risingholme,” Wendel says.
The open day will run from 10am-
2pm. Refreshments will be available
for purchase, including soup in a
special commemorative cup that has
been created in Risingholme’s pottery
studio.

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

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness in
your house
Now with the colder and wetter weather
on its way, home owners are focusing on
ways to make their homes comfortable,
warm and healthy for their families
throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue
that affects many of our older properties
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests
have shown that up to 40 litres of water
can rise from the ground and enter a
house every day, leading to mildew, mould,
condensation and musty smells. Moulds
can produce various allergic reactions
and the frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The
team understands the problems caused
by rising damp and are there to help.
They will come to your damp home
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber floored home.
Specially adapted for our New Zealand
conditions and applications it provides a
layer of protection against rising moisture.
An unexpected benefit that the team at
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed
recently, is that many owners of properties
which had underfloor foam concrete
installed, reported that it also provided
protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd now for your free, no obligation
quote and complimentary appraisal of
your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone
03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more
information.
What makes a great
Heat Transfer System?
There are a number of Heat Transfer
systems on the market. Smooth-Air
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected
components to optimise the system:
They use insulated duct to transfer the
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance
and number of rooms, without being noisy.
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,
not to skim the across the ceilings. All
components are good quality - designed to
operate for years without problems.
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of
options: One to four rooms, with or without
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency
in your house, as you are using excess
heat. They have low power consumption
- only 80watts for the three room system.
Circulating air through the house also
reduces the risk of damp.
You can also choose the HTU version
with downjet diffusers, which throw the
warm air downwards to the floor. These
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to
regulate which room receives the most
warm air.
An average size living room requires 2-4
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log
burners generate heat in the region of 10
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of
heat which sits at high level in the heated
room, usually above door level.
Heat transfer units work best where very
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate
warm air around the room with no
layering, are not suitable as a heat source
by themselves. However, if you have both
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer
systems with thermostat can work very
well: The heat pump stops operating once
the heat from the fire has heated the room,
and the heat transfer kicks in above this
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the
ceiling.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your Heat Transfer, as well as
any other ventilation requirements.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

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
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
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.”

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern

It was the firs time Mr Garth

“We produced some top quality

The preparation for this year’s

intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two

practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and

ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

seven years ago.
The preparation for this

said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

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
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’

expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
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.”

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern

It was the firs time Mr Garth

how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality

The preparation for this year’s

intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two

coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy

said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
