quarry plan 


A COMMUNITY board 

submission criticising Fulton 

Hogan’s contentious Templeton 

quarry plan is set to be finalised 

on Wednesday. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board has 

highlighted “significantly adverse 

effects” from the proposed 

Roydon Quarry if it is allowed to 

go ahead. They include: 

•The impact the quarry will 

have on transport infrastructure 

and health of water bodies. 

•The quarry is not consistent 

with the Selwyn District Plan; 

land and water plan; regional air 

plan; and other strategic plans in 

the area. 

•Residents loss of rural 

character, adverse visual impacts 

and potential health effects 

associated with the discharge of 

contaminants. 

•A negative impact on nearby 

businesses – particularly 

training stables located around 

Templeton. 

•Noise and vibrations which 

would negatively impact on 

the planned cemetery at 173 

Maddisons Rd. •Turn to page 4

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 


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.

that people think it is okay to

community,” he said. 

But Mr Pinner said he is 

encouraging residents to report 

any incidents via Snap-Send- 

Solve or phoning the city council 

call centre. 

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 

depending on the nature of the 

offence. 

Hornby Cricket Club president 

Kevin Hornbrook, who travels 

along the road regularly, said it 

has always been a “dumping

He said there had been another

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. 

“They are pretty cunning

“It is not only the fly-tipping,

“If you know somebody doing 

it, dob them in,” he said.

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. 

QUARRYMAN’S TRAIL 

Work will start on the last 

part of the Quarryman’s 

Trail cycle route today. The 

construction will take place 

on Halswell Rd from Halswell 

Domain through to Te Hāpua: 

Halswell Centre. It is the last 

small section of a whole package 

of works between Victors and 

Halswell Rds. The footpath 

will be closed on the Halswell 

Domain side of Halswell Rd 

and there will be lane shifts for 

traffic on Halswell Rd – but twoway 

traffic will be maintained 

throughout.

ECan drive for Horn 


A BIG WHEEL in the Halswell 

community has put her name 

forward to run for Environment 

Canterbury. 

Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman Chrys Horn will 

have a crack at running for the 

Opuna West Ward in October’s 

local body elections. 

It won’t be the first time Dr 

Horn has attempted to enter the 

political scene – in 2016 she unsuccessfully 

ran for city council 

and the following year Selwyn 

MP under the Green Party. 

“My background is in environment 

and community and I 

think those two things go really 

well at ECan,” she said. 

Dr Horn will be standing 

alongside fellow Halswell 

resident and Boffa Miskell 

environmental consultant Craig 

Pauling. 

Both will be running for the 

two seats available for the ward 

under The People’s Choice. 

With a PhD in social science 

and a professional background 

in environmental management 

and community resilience, Dr 

Horn has many goals she is hoping 

to achieve if elected. 

Dr Horn wants to fight against 

water bottling and is also concerned 

about climate change, 

public transport and protecting 

Cantebury’s soil. 

Chrys Horn 

“Our agriculture soil is getting 

eaten up by urban development 

. . . if we keep building houses 

on good soil that produces food 

then where are we going to produce 

good food,” she said. 

Dr Horn said it is important to 

think about how the city looks 

after the soils it has to feed the 

community. 

“It would be stupid to then 

have to import from a long way 

away from the outskirts of the 

city.” 

Dr Horn is also hoping to 

make public transport more attractive 

to use. 

“I think there are a lot of issues. 

I don’t think I can fix all of 

it but by golly, I can start talking 

about it,” Dr Horn said. 

Mr Pauling is hoping to use 

his background in environmental 

management to work 

on freshwater biodiversity and 

restoration. 

In 2016, Dr Horn narrowly 

lost by 97 votes against Anne 

Galloway in her bid to be 

elected as city councillor for the 

Halswell ward. 

“I feel like Anne Galloway is 

doing a pretty reasonable job 

of being a councillor here and 

I didn’t want to challenge her 

particularly,” she said. 

The following year she came 

third in the race to secure the 

Selwyn MP seat under the Green 

Party with 2255 votes. 

Dr Horn lost to Amy Adams 

who received 25,320 votes, 

securing 66 per cent of the 

electorate’s candidate votes and 

Labour’s Tony Condon who 

received 7695. 

But she clearly hasn’t been put 

off running for the elections. 

“I like the idea of doing the job 

that is involved but it is the campaigning 

that is hard,” she said. 

Having grown up in Halswell, 

she returned to the suburb 

16 years ago and has driven 

many initiatives including the 

Halswell Community Project, 

the Halswell Newsletter, the 

Halswell Community website 

and the Halswell Market. 

Anti-quarry submission 

•From page 1 

An external consultant was

In late November, Fulton 

Hogan made a resource consent

was presented to Environment 

Canterbury, the Environment 

Ministry and Selwyn District

He said it is good to see the

Car park solutions sought near university 


RESIDENTS LIVING near 

Canterbury University want 

to find solutions to address the 

number of students and staff 

being “forced” to park out on 

residential streets due to high 

parking costs. 

The Ilam 

and Upper 

Riccarton 

Residents’ 

Association 

is looking at 

options to 

encourage 

more students 

John 

Reddiford 

and staff to get 

“out of their 

cars.” 

Its chairman 

John Reddiford said parking 

on campus has increased 

substantially in the past three 

years which has forced students 

and staff to park on surrounding 

roads. 

On-site campus car parking at 

the university has sky-rocketed 

over the years with all year 

permits for students rising 

from $304-$475 since 2017 and 

staff $475-$1000. 

It was due to the university 

being unable to cover the cover 

the cost of car park provision 

and maintenance. 

A Canterbury University 

spokeswoman said it did not 

believe a reduction of its oncampus 

parking fees to anything 

other than zero would have any 

significant reduction of on-street 

parking congestion. 

“The university council has 

been mindful of keeping fees at a 

level reasonable enough for those 

parking on campus while still 

generating sufficient funds to 

cover maintenance.” 

Current fees and parking 

permits do not meet the costs 

of car park provision and 

maintenance. 

“The lifetime cost of creating 

a single car park is $7000 with 

further costs associated with 

monitoring and enforcement,” a 

spokeswoman said. 

The university currently 

has 3742 on campus car parks 

for staff, students and visitors 

including 610 temporary car 

parks for contractors and 63

mobility parks. 

Under the city council’s 

district plan, it will need an 

additional 1057 parks by 2023. 

The university is also dealing 

with student numbers continuing 

to rise with enrolments up 

seven per cent compared to last 

year. As of March, it was sitting 

at 16,382 students. 

The residents’ association was 

looking at options to address 

the long-standing issue at its 

meeting recently. 

Mr Reddiford suggested 

Environment Canterbury 

decreased the cost of bus 

fares for students as well as 

encouraging cycling. 

Discounted fares for tertiary 

students was raised through 

ECan’s Regional Public Transport 

Plan consultation last year. 

The largest proportion – 185 

people who responded to the 

consultation thought discounted 

fees should be provided for 

tertiary students. 

An ECan spokeswoman 

said out of the consultation it 

was decided discounted fares 

for tertiary students will be 

considered in more detail in 

future fare reviews – but no time 

line was available. 

Mr Reddiford said the 

residents’ association is also 

wanted to find out how often 

the car parking is monitored 

and receive updates on 

enforcement. 

Car parking monitoring and 

enforcement is undertaken 

by UC Security and data on 

monitoring was not available. 

Ilam resident Peter Harding 

said his argument was always 

given the Dovedale campus car 

parking is always empty why not 

make a lower rate for vehicles 

parking there.

No decision yet on 

resident’s cycleway idea 


NO WORD has been given 

yet on whether an idea to put a 

major cycle route along the old 

Little River branch line railway 

will be considered as a viable 

option. 

In April, Greater Hornby 

Residents’ Association 

treasurer Ross 

Houliston made an 

individual submission 

proposing the Hornby 

section of the cycleway 

runs along the old 

railway line to meet up 

with the Christchurch 

Southern Motorway. 

The city council is 

currently working 

through more than 

650 submissions 

on the proposed 

$36 million South Express 

Major Cycle route. Currently 

the city council is proposing 

the cycle route runs from the 

Waterloo and Gilberthorpes Rds 

intersection through Waterloo, 

Hei Hei, Buchanans and 

Carmen Rds. The route will also 

go through Sockburn, Upper 

Riccarton and Riccarton. 

The city council is now seeking 

feedback on an alternative route 

through Elizabeth St until June 

12. The consultation is being 

undertaken after concerns 

were raised that residents and 

businesses could be hit hard by 

the planned major realignment 

of the street to make way for the 

cycleway. 

But Mr Houliston says if 

the city council is consulting 

on different routes 

through Elizabeth 

St, it should also be 

consulting on his 

alternative route 

proposal through 

Hornby. 

“I believe myself 

that when they 

are investigating 

alternative parts 

around Elizabeth St, 

they should certainly 

Ross Houliston investigate the one that 

has been put forward 

by me,” Mr Houliston said. 

City council acting transport 

planning and delivery manager 

Sharon O’Neill said Mr 

Houliston’s proposal is being 

analysed but it won’t comment 

on specific submissions. 

“Any alternative proposal 

will be analysed to see if it is safe 

for users, can be constructed 

and is along a desired route that 

would be used by cyclists,” she 

said.

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 - uncoordinated 

and 

knobbly. That is a pretty good 

description of my dog.”

“I feel so supported. I feel privileged to be part of Ryman” 

Margaret Stoddart 

Retirement Village’s Clinical 

Manager Maya Daniel loves 

the inviting village atmosphere 

and the welcome she’s received 

from residents and staff in her 

new role. 

Maya started in March at 

the Ryman Healthcare village, 

located near the Hagley Park 

end of Riccarton Road. 

She says it is the Ryman 

culture that has allowed her to 

take on a job where she is both 

a clinical manager overseeing 

other nurses and staff as well 

as someone working actively 

with residents. There is so 

much support offered by the 

wider team and she likes that 

everyone is so motivated in 

their roles. 

“I was condent to take the 

challenge, at the time, and 

ready for it. But I’ve also had a 

boost from Ryman colleagues 

here, the Ryman Christchurch 

office and even the other village 

facilities around Christchurch, 

it’s great!” Maya said. 

“I feel so supported. 

I feel privileged to be part 

of Ryman.” 

When she arrived in the 

country from India in 2012, 

Maya was already a trained 

nurse, but has since become 

a New Zealand Registered 

Nurse plus taken on additional 

tertiary education in the 

healthcare sector. 

She has worked in other 

healthcare positions, including 

as a senior nurse for Nurse 

Maude, WesleyCare and 

also did some training for 

Princess Margaret Hospital. 

She decided to put her hand 

up for the Margaret Stoddart 

role and the challenges it 

would bring. 

When she rst saw Margaret 

Stoddart Retirement Village, 

with the residents enjoying 

the grounds and village 

Margaret Stoddart village resident Marie Edwards and Clinical Manager Maya Daniel. 

amenities, she felt the layout 

was very homely and inviting. 

Many of the residents are 

self-confessed garden and 

plant fanatics and when they 

are chatting away, gardening 

is a subject that often comes 

up, Maya says. She likes the 

fact that many of the residents 

within the village are active 

and mobile and able to engage 

with her on many topics, 

sharing stories of their lives. 

Care resident Marie 

Edwards says she has enjoyed 

getting to know Maya and 

loves the support she and 

other residents get from the 

staff at the village. Marie 

should know – she had a long 

career in nursing and was a 

nurse at Margaret Stoddart 

soon after the village opened 

in 1993. 

Marie says Margaret 

Stoddart remains a quality 

care facility and she is “very 

lucky” to have staff like Maya 

around her. “It’s a very caring 

place. It’s a lovely atmosphere, 

it really is.” 

Maya oversees the 

available medicines and 

pharmaceutical supplies in 

the village and helps keep 

the work allocated amongst 

senior caregiving staff. 

She is a big fan of the tabletbased 

app myRyman Care, 

which she says is an accurate 

tool that can save a lot of time 

when dealing with residents 

in need of medical care. 

In every care room, a 

device with our custom-made 

electronic care programme 

enables nurses and carers to 

see and record information 

about each resident. This 

award-winning innovation 

creates greater efficiencies 

and dramatically reduces 

paperwork. “It has pretty much 

all the information about the 

residents, so if I don’t know 

much of the background I can 

go to it before I speak to the 

resident,” Maya says. 

“Also, if I’m in the office 

and I get a phone call from a 

relative to see how the person 

is doing on that day, I can just 

get to the computer and get the 

details of what is happening 

on the oor.” 

Margaret Stoddart village 

provides independent living, 

assisted living and resthome 

care. Its features include 

independent townhouses, 

serviced apartments, and 

a care centre, all set 

amongst beautifully 

landscaped gardens. 

Maya’s other healthcare 

training includes a graduate 

certicate in palliative care, 

and knowledge of infection 

control, which she describes 

as part of the health and 

safety spectrum. 

Maya was brought up in 

Kerala in the south of India, 

and in her spare time likes 

to hunt out books in the 

Malayalam language. That 

includes bringing books from 

overseas holidays to share 

within her Christchurch 

Kerala community. 

With a husband and a young 

seven-year-old daughter she 

says family life is important 

and she is happy to be able 

to get quickly to her work 

from their home. In her spare 

time, she does dress design, 

incorporating both Indian 

and western fashion, enabling 

her to make items for herself 

and friends. 

Retirement 

living and care 

at its best!

AA calls for 

right-turn 

light at 

congested 

intersection 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE NEW Zealand 

Automobile Association has 

called for a right-turn traffic 

light arrow at the Greers Rd and 

Memorial Ave intersection. 

The AA made the request in 

a letter sent to the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

Southern regional 

administrator Carla Pereira said 

the idea had been raised with 

the city council in the past “to 

no effect.” 

The AA conveyed its 

disappointment an arrow 

was not included in the 

city council’s review of the 

intersection in March, which 

proposed a shared left-turn 

traffic lane, combined with a 

cycle lane. The proposal, which 

was voted down by the board, 

was meant to ease traffic at the 

intersection, which is heavily 

congested during peak times 

due to its close proximity to 

Burnside High and Christ the 

King schools.

SYLVESTER THE cat enjoyed 

a hearty salmon dish at the 

Canterbury Charity Hospital in 

Bishopdale to celebrate turning 

21 last week. 

The shorthaired tomcat has two 

children’s books published about 

him, which are sold to fundraise 

money for the hospital, which 

does not receive any Government 

funding and relies on donations 

and grants. 

The hospital provides free 

elective day surgery, medical 

outpatient clinics, dentistry and 

counselling for people who can 

not access the public or private 

healthcare systems. 

Sylvester - The Charity Hospital 

Cat, published in 2014, and 

Sylvester and the Intruder, 

published in 2017, were written 

by poet Julie Hutton and feature 

illustrations by Garrick Tremain. 

Sylvester and the Intruder was 

written about a period of time 

when Sylvester would trigger the 

alarms at 2am and have security 

called to the hospital. 

Fundraising co-ordinator 

Rosemary Graham was unsure 

how much money the books 

had raised, but they had been 

popular. 

Ms Graham said Sylvester is 

“very affectionate” and “loves 

attention”. He is ironically a “bit 

grumpy” around children. 

She said Sylvester is in good 

health as he is always well looked 

after by hospital staff. He likes 

to have the heater on and his fur 

is groomed with a special brush 

every morning. 

Sylvester has not lived at the 

hospital since birth – in fact, he 

is older than the hospital itself, 

which was established in 2007. 

Sylvester belonged to the 

neighbours before they sold their 

property to the hospital in 2016. 

Ms Graham said the staff were 

asked if they would like to keep 

him, as he would “visit all the 

time anyway.”

Meet Lorenzo Massetti 

Our new Sales Consultant at Bupa Parkstone

Lorenzo Massetti is a face and 

name you’re not likely to forget! 

With his jovial manner, welldressed 

attire, and super friendly 

nature, he is bound to put you at 

ease the moment you meet him. 

Having worked for over 20 years 

as a funeral director, Lorenzo 

is now looking for a change of 

pace. He recounts his time in the 

funeral industry as a humbling 

and rewarding experience, where 

he assisted others during a very 

distressing time in their lives. 

With extensive experience in 

aged care management, Lorenzo 

has also worked in a sales 

environment but was naturally 

drawn back into aged care to use 

his key skills of helping people to 

make big life decisions. 

I am privileged to see 

happy and content village 

residents, on a daily basis, 

who often say to me I should 

have done this sooner’ 

Originally from Dunedin, but 

having called Christchurch home 

for the past four years, Lorenzo is 

no stranger to good old fashioned 

Southern hospitality. He prides 

himself on his listening skills 

and the ability to help facilitate 

the transition of moving into a 

retirement village with ease. 

As Lorenzo begins his new 

career here at Bupa Parkstone 

Retirement Village, we asked him 

what he thought made our Ilam 

village stand out. “Independent 

living without the worry of 

many aspects of owning and 

maintaining your own home. 

Companionship and community”, 

he said. 

On Wednesday, 12 June we 

are hosting a guest speaker 

event at Bupa Parkstone 

Retirement Village. Our

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.

Are You MAgnesiuM Deficient? 

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 & on a regular basis to prevent deficiency & maintain 

optimum health. A large number of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium 

from our diet & may notice some of the common signs of deficiency. 

Some of the more common symptoms that may be caused by insufficient 

magnesium are: leg & muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue & weakness, tremors of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor 

sleep, raised &/or unstable blood pressure, poor circulation, irregular 

heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing problems, dizziness, headaches, 

anxiety, agitation, irritability, seizures, poor concentration & 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 

a new marine sourced magnesium has been found that offers good levels 

of absorbable magnesium as well as 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.

(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 sments 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 themselves 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.” 

New bid to fix potholes

THE PAPANUI-Innes 

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 

planned 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 Jones 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 annual 

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 are 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 apartments 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.”

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

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 is 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

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GREENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

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.

AN UPPER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

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.

“I’d like to think so because the

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 sments 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 themselves 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.”

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition

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 

planned 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 Jones 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

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 is 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 

GREENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

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.

AN UPPER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

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 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWELL-Hornby-

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 


told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’s submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l over recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
