Bowing out after 300,000-plus
haircuts at Hoon Hay salon
• By Claire Booker
WHEN JOHN Thompson was
21, he dreamed of becoming a
hairdresser. Now 50 years later,
with more than 300,000 hair cuts
under his belt, he still loves it.
But his business on Coppell Pl
in Hoon Hay will close its doors
for good at the end of the month.
The barber shop has been Mr
Thompson’s second home since
1969, but it’s time to put the
clippers down and the capes away
and enjoy his retirement.
His loyal clients will miss his
friendly nature.
A client of 50 years, Jack
Jordan, 88, said: “He’s just a
damn nice guy.
“A couple of times when I was
crook, or I’d been to the hospital,
he’d come to my house and cut it
for the same price,” he said.
The lease on the building Mr
Thompson has occupied for the
past 50 years has expired, and he
wasn’t given the opportunity to
renew it.
He said when he was first given
the news that he had to be out of
the building within a month, he
was shocked, but said that’s just
the way things go.
The 71-year-old Redwood
resident will now retire after 54
years as a barber.

Identifying barriers for women
HELPING HAND: Pari Hussaini will be working with women
feeling socially isolated in the south-west to help them
connect with their communities.

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A CASE study has been
commissioned to help
identify barriers keeping
socially isolated women
from connecting with their
communities in the south-west.
Funding of $30,000 was
granted from the Government’s
Ethnic Communities Development
Fund to enable the Family
Help Trust to employ a connector
role to determine what is
isolating women.
The role, which will be taken
on by Wigram resident Pari
Hussaini over the next six
months, was prompted as a
result of the March 15 attacks.
She said it is mostly Muslim
women who have been left feeling
anxious since the attacks,
but her role is to help all women
who need help connecting with
their community.
“I am mostly going around
and talking with lots of communities,
schools, parents and
also with my own community,”
Mrs Hussaini said.
She will be focusing on
communities in the greater
Halswell, Hornby, Spreydon
and Addington area – including
speaking with schools and
parents.
City councillor Anne Galloway,
who is involved in the
trust, agreed the attacks have
created more anxiety in the
community, which is perhaps
keeping people house-bound.
“We are trying to identify
barriers . . . it might be language,
it could be they have got
no licence, it could be they are
anxious and worried and want
to stay close to home.”
But Cr Galloway said there is
also a sense there are socially
isolated people who have been
living in the south-west community
for a long time.
“We are just basically doing a
scope at the moment to see the
need,” she said.
Mrs Hussaini’s role will be
funded for the next six months.
Last month $30,000 of funding
was approved.
Cr Galloway said the
six months case study will
determine if there is a need in
the community for a full-time
connector role.

Burglary increase for drug money
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE INCREASE in opportunist
crime in Halswell and Wigram
is likely to be fuelled by drugs,
police say.
Superintendent Lane Todd
said police are finding the
majority of
burglaries
involve
young
people
trying to get
money to
buy drugs.
He said
Anne Galloway
while police
have noticed
the spike
in drug-driven burglaries in
Halswell and Wigram, it is an
issue across the city.
Over the past six weeks, police
have been running an operation
to crack down on burglaries in
the areas.
“We have put additional staff
out there and we are arresting
people on a daily basis,”
Superintendent Todd said.
As a result, burglary stats in
the area are starting to drop, he
said.
“The message we are trying to
do is to get people to take more
care around security. Locking
vehicles and locking sheds. A
lot of garden sheds have quite
a lot of property in them,”
Superintendant Todd said.
In June, five homes in
Bibiana St, Felicitas Grove and
Eaglesome Ave were targeted in
a series of burglaries.
CCTV footage from nearby
properties filmed a tall,
European man wearing a hoodie
and a black mask, roaming the
streets during all five burglaries.
Superintendant Todd said
police are finding a small group
of people will walk up and down
driveways looking for easy
targets.
“For those who take a bit
more extra security and
keep everything locked, they
generally aren’t targeted as much
because it is more time to break
into a property.”
A community safety meeting
to gauge the extent of the
problem was held recently. The
meeting was organised by city
councillor Anne Galloway and
CRIME
PREVENTION:
Police have
told Halswell
and Wigram
residents to
make sure their
homes are
more secure
to prevent
opportunist
burglaries.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board candidate
Narrinder Singh Warraich.
Cr Galloway previously
told Western News concerns
over burglaries have been
predominantly coming from
multi-cultural communities and
people who may not be aware of
the support networks available.
Superintendant Todd said
Community Constable Li’Ying
Cai, who was present at the
meeting, has been working
with the Asian community,
in particular, to help prevent
burglaries.
Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister Megan
Woods and representatives
from the Hornby Community
Patrol and Neighbourhood
Support were also present
at the meeting. Mr Singh
Warraich said residents shared
burglary incidents in their
neighbourhood and police
conveyed key messages.
This included locking
unattended vehicles on roads,
parking in well-lit areas and
considering investing in an
alarm system or getting sensor
lights fitted. Cr Galloway said it
was “reassuring” to learn what
police are doing but the city does
unfortunately have a “big meth
problem” which drives a lot of
crime.
Hornby resident Mark Peters
said Aidanfield Christian School
was hit with burglaries over the
school holidays, with stationery
stolen from unsecure lockers in
an unlockable locker bay.
“My child had three pencil
cases stolen along with a
calculator . . . the more we can
do to help stomp out that sort
of negative behaviour in the
community the better,” he said.

‘I think I want to be a hairdresser’
•From page 1
The barber shop Mr Thompson
occupies was where his hair
was cut as a child, and when he
turned 21, he bought the business
and hasn’t looked back since.
“I remember coming home
from school one day and saying
[to his father] I think I want to be
a hairdresser,” he said.
In September, he would have
marked his 50th year of owning
the business, but he will have to
close the doors just a few days
before the anniversary.
The red leather barber’s chairs
in the shop have been around
since 1956, and Mr Thompson
said he will sell them once the
business closes. Otherwise, his
house will become too cluttered.
In the antique leather chairs, he
has seen many boys argue with
their mum about the length of
hair they want.
“A boy would get shorter
than he wanted, but not as
short as mum was hoping,” Mr
Thompson said.
He’s seen it all in his years of
hairdressing, from short to very
long, and the mullets in between.
Mr Jordan his longest-serving
client and has been getting
his hair cut there before Mr
Thompson owned the shop.
He said the place “hasn’t
changed a hell of a lot” over the
years.
He never has to tell Mr
Thompson what he wants,
because his hairstyle never
changes.
“I’ll never find anyone like this
will I,” Mr Jordan said.
Mr Thompson is upset he was
given such short notice to close
the business.
“Going quickly doesn’t give me
time to thank them [clients] all,”
he said.
Mr Thompson will miss
meeting people and the
rewarding feeling of people
bringing their grandchildren
in for a trim so he can cut three
generations of hair.
“They’re more than just
customers,” he said.
Mr Thompson will finish
his last hair cut at the shop on
August 29.
SKILL: Mr Thompson cuts

Barriers
for busy
intersection
FLEXIBLE BARRIERS will
remain in place at a busy
intersection to keep Halswell
children safe until a permanent
solution is completed.
Traffic separators have been in
place at the intersection of Larsens
and Halswell Rds since May
as part of a trial to make roads
safer for Halswell School pupils
to use.
The traffic separators prevent
vehicles from turning right when
travelling in and out of Larsens
Rd onto Halswell Rd.
In its latest update, the New
Zealand Transport Agency said it
will put a permanent solution in
place. It will install an electronic
no-right turn sign, which will
only be active during school
patrol times.
A pedestrian refuge island will
be installed and no-stopping lines
will be extended.
A raised painted island at the
Larsens Rd entrance will also be
put in place to assist with safer
pedestrian crossing and guide
right-turning traffic onto Halswell
Rd at off-peak times.
In the mean-time, the flexible
barriers will remain until the
changes are made.

Lodestar Ave left off speed limit review
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MAJOR SPEED limit changes
are likely to be on the horizon for
Halswell and Hornby in a bid to
improve road safety.
But residents battling to make
Wigram’s Lodestar Ave safer
have been left feeling “forgotten”
after no changes were made to
lower the speed limit on the busy
road.
The
Halswell-
Hornby-
Riccarton
Community
Board
recommended
a raft of speed
limit changes
Ross
McFarlane
at its meeting
last week.
The boardapproved
plan would decrease
the limit to 50km/h along
Halswell Junction and Kennedys
Bush Rds, as well as parts of
Cashmere and Hendersons Rds.
John Paterson Drive and roads in
the new Cloverden subdivision
off Murphys Rd would go down
to 40km/h. A 60km/h speed
limit would be put on Marshs,
Shands, Springs, Hodgens,
Fountains, Whincops, Downies,
Quaifes, Sabys, Sutherlands
and Hoon Hay Valley Rds, as
well as Cashmere Rd (between
Kennedys Bush Rd and the
existing 50km/h zone north of
Hoon Hay Valley Rd).
The changes will go to the
city council for final approval.
But residents also want to see
the speed limit on Lodestar
Ave lowered from 50km/h to
40km/h.
Bob Rush, who lives at Lady
Wigram Retirement Village on
Lodestar Ave, said lowering the
speed limit would help, but not
solve, the issues with the road.
“The original problem is
basically the speed of vehicles
coming down here, plus the
trucks using the road as a bypass
– it was never designed to have
trucks down here,” he said.
Since 2017, Lodestar Ave and
Lady Wigram residents have
been pleading for restrictions
to be placed on heavy vehicles
– but trucks are still using the
road.
City council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas said the speed limit
review focused mainly on
existing high risk 70km/h and
80km/h roads, which are rural
and semi-rural.
“There is currently no
information available on when
Lodestar Ave speed limits might
NO
CHANGE:

be reviewed,” he said.
Lodestar Ave homeowner
Wanda Waites said it would
be nice if the speed limit was
lowered, but heavy trucks need
to be banned for the problem to
be solved.
Board member Debbie
Mora said she was disappointed
Lodestar Ave was not included.
Following feedback the board
also decided to write to the
New Zealand Transport Agency
about lowering a section of
Halswell Rd from 80km/h to
60km/h.
Board chairman Mike Mora
said this change would make the
road more consistent.
The board will ask NZTA
about the possibility of changing
the section of Halswell Rd
between Augustine Drive to
about 300m before Dunbars Rd
from 80km/h to 60km/h.
Board member Ross
McFarlane said there are several
issues with the right-hand turn
from Aidanfield Drive due to the
increasing traffic.
The latest traffic count
showed 18,000 vehicles travel on
Halswell Rd daily.
Mr McFarlane said there are
also about three businesses on
the east side of Halswell Rd,
which means more vehicles
are travelling in and out of the
80km/h speed zone.
“A lot of vehicles don’t
accelerate to 80km/h because
they know they are only going
to have to slow down again and
that causes frustration in drivers
who want to travel 80km/h,” he
said.
NZTA senior traffic and safety
engineer David Scarlet said
developments in the area mean it
is an appropriate time to review
the speed limit.

Mora puts hand up for CDHB
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A WELL-KNOWN community
board member has put her
name forward for a position on
the Canterbury District
Health Board.
Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community
Board member Debbie
Mora will contest a
CDHB seat and run for
the board in October’s
local body elections.
She said she was also
toying with the idea of running
for the city council in the Riccarton
Ward, but decided against it.
Debbie
Mora
Ms Mora said her experience,
which includes chairing the
community board’s submission
committee, will help the
CDHB.
Her priorities would
be to resolve the parking
problem at Christchurch
Hospital, improve the
mental health system and
provide further counselling
for people who have
been physically and sexually
abused.
“It would be good to be in a
position to make change,” she
said.
Study into affects of maternal drug use
A SUMNER professor has just
completed new research into the
development of babies affected by
their mother’s drug use.
Canterbury University head of
health sciences Lianne Woodward
has discovered increased
opioid and other drug use is
affecting children’s readiness for
learning when they start school.
Ms Woodward led a five-year
study of 100 babies whose mothers
took methadone to treat opioid
dependence and 110 babies
whose mothers did not.
With PhD graduate Dr Samantha
Lee, Ms Woodward followed the
babies from birth to four and a half
years old, with researchers assessing
the children’s physical and motor
development, social-emotional
skills, approaches to learning, language,
and cognitive functioning.
“Opioid use in New Zealand
is on the rise, so the hope is
that this study can contribute to
health and education services
planning to help support the
needs of these children and their
families,” Ms Woodward said.
Ms Woodward is an international
expert in child developmental
psychology.
Her study, Health and Neurodevelopment
of Children Born to Opioid
Dependent Mothers at School
Entry, looks at the extent and the
mix of mothers’ substance use.
The results found that over
70 per cent of children born to
opioid-dependent mothers had at
least one health or developmental
difficulty that would likely impact
their schooling, compared to 29
per cent of children drawn from
the general population.
Multiple problems were also
common, affecting 48 per cent
of methadone-exposed children
compared with 15 per cent of
control-group children.

Pupils donate sports gear to needy
• By Jess Gibson
A GROUP of Mt Pleasant School
pupils will use second-hand sports
gear to achieve a goal.
But that goal has nothing to do
with netball, football or hockey – it
is all about increasing opportunities
for kids who struggle to afford
recreational equipment.
Year 8 pupils Neve Ballin, Maeve
Montgomery McCarthy, Luke Wenham,
and Mohamed Wahabzabah
are collecting unwanted sports gear
around the community before donating
it to schools and individuals
in need.
The group, who all love sports,
have chosen the project as a part
of the school’s framework which
requires pupils in their last year at
the school to look into a significant
issue they are interested in.
The concept is based on Sport
Canterbury’s “give gear get great”
programme – a similar initiative
supported by the Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton and Spreydon-Cashmere
community boards.
“We all think that there are so
many benefits of playing sports it is
so important for all kids physically
and especially mentally,” Neve said.
“Playing sports gives all children
something for them and their
families to be proud of. We are all
just a group of kids who all love
sports and we also understand what
a privilege it is for us to be able to
participate in sports and wanted to
level the playing field and help other
kids to get the benefits that we get.”
The group hopes that once the
project grows more, it can make a
database for kids to request equipment
and pick it up from the school.
Principal Chris Nord said the aim
of the school’s framework is to help
pupils understand how they can
make an impact on the world and
the people around them.
“We want them to care and know
there actually is something that they
can do in the community.”
Because the group want the
project to continue after they leave
the school, they will pitch the idea
to the Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board at a meeting
today to see whether it will support
the initiative.

‘Unsung hero’ gets community award
• By Jess Gibson
“UNSUNG HERO” Ian
McLennan has been recognised
for 12 years of dedication to
restoring Quail Island.
The Redcliffs environmentalist
is the Otamahua (Quail Island)
Ecological Restoration Trust
chairman and has taken part in
countless working bees on the
island.
Mr McLellan (left) received
a Keep Christchurch Beautiful
community award for his efforts
at a ceremony last week.
Planting, clearing weeds and
pest control are among the tasks
he takes part in when he heads
over with volunteers at least
twice a month.
The nomination, which was
submitted by a volunteer, said
Mr McLellan “works tirelessly
to restore this neglected and
abused island to its native glory.”
He first got involved with
the trust when his brother was
chairman.
Said Mr McLellan: “The
main thing for me is the
almost complete loss of native
biodiversity over the last couple
of hundred years. It’s a small
effort to recreate what was once
there.”
During his time on the trust,
Mr McLellan said he has seen all
pests eradicated except for mice.
“Making the island
predator-free has been a major
achievement for the trust.”
The trust is running its
annual planting programme
this month, which will see 3000
native trees planted over four
weekends. It will bring the total
number of trees planted to more
than 98,000.
At the ceremony 10 groups,
eight individuals and three life
members received awards.
Among the life membership
recipients was Governors Bay
resident John Thacker. He
has been involved with Keep
Christchurch Beautiful since
before its electronic records
began. He used to carry out the
litter count contract for the city
council, in tandem with John
Macaulay.
Mr Thacker is an active
member and will often put up
Keep Christchurch Beautiful
signs where he thinks people
need to be more conscious of
litter.
DEDICATION: Ian McLennan
has been organising
volunteer trips to Quail Island
since 2008, and has been
involved as a volunteer on
the island since 2006.

A NEW running group is
encouraging residents to get
active.
Run New Brighton is a not-forprofit
initiative set up by the New
Brighton Olympic Athletics Club
to get more people running in the
area.
The members meet every
Wednesday at 5.30pm at the New
Brighton Olympic Clubrooms.
There are pace-specific groups,
which cater for beginner,
intermediate and competitive
runners.
Run New Brighton organiser
Hayden Zervos said the group
allows runners and people of
different ages and backgrounds
to improve their fitness.
He said the group helps

The 17-year-old,

Burrell and Wylaars finished the
final in 7min 14.50sec.
Wylaars was recently
named achiever of the year
at the Canterbury
Rowing Awards for her
progression in the sport.
She has been rowing
for four seasons and
won a silver medal at the
under-18 double sculls
with her Avonside Girls’
High teammate Maddy
Thornton earlier this
year.
The course for

championships, known as the
Sea Forest Waterway, is a newlyconstructed
venue for the 2020
Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Fifty nations took part in the
junior championships and more
than 550 athletes competed.
Run New Brighton hits the streets to deliver health benefits
Kirsty Nixon
Horizons
24 August - 18 September 2019
Like portals to paradise, Kirsty Nixon’s large-scale paintings invite the viewer to
pull back the ‘fringes’ of our native flora to reveal quintessentially New Zealand
landscapes hidden in behind. Framed by the structural forms of our native
foliage, like cabbage tree leaves or nectar-laden flax flowers, and almost always
with a native bird or two in attendance, unfolding before your eyes could be
an endless coastline, a deep, green cove or perhaps even a glimpse of the far
horizon.
Kirsty is repeatedly drawn to the New Zealand landscape
in its various guises and while on holiday at the bird
sanctuary island Tiritiri Matangi recently she experienced
a sense of utter peace while watching the bellbirds
flitting about the feeders and hearing their hypnotic song.
Returning home, she became keenly aware of the absence
of native birdsong and thus her new works pay tribute to
the ways in which the melodic voices of our native birds
have the ability to enrich our lives as we navigate daily life.
Based in Auckland, Kirsty has been painting full-time
since 1997, initially in the medium of watercolour but
now having found her home in the freedom and impact of
acrylic.

Southern ChiropraCtiC
3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs)
Don’t put up with back pain
A multifaceted treatment approach
combining laser, soft tissue massage
and manual adjustment can make a
huge difference to people suffering
from back pain, according to Andre
Grob, Principal Chiropractor at
Southern Chiropractic.
Andre’s patients appreciate the time
taken during their treatment with
minimal waiting
time.
Andre has
18 years of
experience
treating people
with a range of
back problems
and has a deep
understanding
of the value and
benefits that
a professional
chiropractor can
offer clients who
are suffering from back pain.
A high percentage of the patients
Andre treats at Southern
Chiropractic in Halswell suffer from
lower back and neck pain, followed
closely by mid back pain.
“Some pain such as headaches or
shoulder pain can be referred from
the spine and it is
all about finding
and treating the
source of the
pain,” says Andre.
Chiropractic
treatment not
only relieves
pain but, when
patients are seen
regularly, it can
also help their
overall wellness
and health.
The first priority
on presentation is to determine the
cause of the patients complaint.
Once we treat the cause, we can
alleviate the symptoms ie: pain and
restricted movement. Once free of
their initial problems patients can
then decide if they want to continue
with a tailored maintenance
programme that suits their
individual needs.
Chiropractic treatments are
listed overseas as among the top
most beneficial natural therapies,
providing a holistic approach to
treating back pain, says Andre.
“It’s all about what’s best for the
individual client and giving them the
time and care that they need. No
matter what your age I can help with
your back pain.”
So if you are experiencing back pain,
make an appointment with Andre at
Southern Chiropractic.
Southern Chiropractic has recently introduced on-line bookings through the website www.southernchiropractic.co.nz or you can phone Andre on 03 322 1432.
They are located in halswell at 3 Kennedys Bush Road with car parking outside the door.

Losses a
wake-up
call for
Cashmere HS
• By Jacob Page
THE CASHMERE High School
basketball team are banking
on an unfamiliar loss or two
helping them in the long-term.
The team travelled to Auckland
last week for their annual
four-game trip, fresh off losing
a Canterbury secondary school
game for the first time in two
years to Middleton Grange.
The 11-strong squad had
three wins and a loss beating
St Kentigern College 107-105 in
overtime, Westlake Boys 87-84
and Rangitoto College 71-61.
Unlike last year, where they
went unbeaten, they did suffer a
79-70 loss to Rosmini College.
Coach Paul Conner said he
wanted to expose the entire
squad to the faster, more physical
style of Auckland secondary
school basketball.
“Often we end up winning all
these games, so hopefully we’ll
be able to learn from the loss.”
The two-time defending South
island Secondary School champions
will go for a three-peat
once their Canterbury commitments
are completed, hopefully
in three weeks if they make the
final.
“I feel like we are in a good
place heading into a very busy
part of our season, Conner said.
Tom Schwarz: 200 and counting
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE Technical football
captain Tom Schwarz is the first
player in the club to reach 200
first team games.
Looking back on it he can
thank his wife Rose, for being a
contributor to the milestone.
The 29-year-old, who is originally
from the
small English
town of Winsford,
between
Liverpool and
Manchester,
originally
wanted to see
Tom
Schwarz
the other side
of the world for
two years when
he landed in Dunedin in 2010.
However, he met his now wife,
Rose, who was from Christchurch
and after two years with
Dunedin club Caversham, he
transferred to Cashmere Technical.
His twin brother, Dan, also
plays for the club.
“I’d never been on a plane
before I came to New Zealand,”
he said. “I was 20, I just wanted
to see the world on a two-year
visa and go home but obviously
things changed.”
The centre back earned the
milestone during a 4-1 win over
Mosgiel AFC in the Southern
Football League.
“I’m proud to be the captain of
SILVERWARE: Schwarz with the Chatham Cup after Cashmere Technical won it for the second
straight time in 2014.
PHOTO: ENZO GIORDANI
such a great club,” he said. “It’s
not just on the field, but also off
the field and what we are able to
achieve.”
Schwarz said he had scored 68
goals for the club, many as the
chief penalty taker.
“I don’t think it’s difficult to
take a penalty in the sense that
you just have to pick a spot and
stick with it he said.
“Often before the game,
I’ll talk about it with my wife
because I think if I’ve told her I
can’t change my mind during a
game.”
Schwarz is fast approaching
150 games for the Canterbury
Dragons, as well and he said
while he would like to add a
third Chatham Cup title to his
2013 and 2014 success, he said a
national title with Canterbury
has also become a priority.
“I feel like we are always there
or thereabouts with the Dragons
SOUTHERN VIEW
so to win one would be good.”
A carpenter by trade, Schwarz
said he had no plans to retire any
time soon but also said it would
be dependent on future family
plans.
He said it was a proud moment
to apparently be the first to 200
games, but with 20-year-old
striker Lyle Matthyson notching
up 100 games as well, he believes
his record may not stand too
long.

Tasty Bites
Getting protein through a science-based diet
The role of protein in
people’s bodies, its
sources and the benefits of
consuming it across the day
can’t be underestimated.
These recipes provide a
science-based approach to
ensuring you get enough in
your diet
Orange kumara and
haloumi fritters
Serves 4
Ingredients
1.2kg orange kumara, peeled and
coarsely grated
320g haloumi, coarsely grated
2 tsp ground cumin
Light olive oil spray for cooking
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 spring onions, white part thinly
sliced into rounds, green part
thinly sliced diagonally
120g baby spinach leaves
Avocado dressing:
80g medium-sized avocado
⅓ cup (80ml) white wine vinegar
or apple cider vinegar
½ tsp dijon mustard
Directions
To make the avocado dressing,
blend all the ingredients in a jug
with a hand-held blender until
smooth. Season with black pepper
and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick frying
pan over low-medium heat.
Combine the kumara, haloumi
and cumin in a bowl and season
with freshly ground black pepper.
Lightly spray the pan with
olive oil and drop in firmly
packed cup measures of the
kumara mixture, pressing down
to form 8cm circles. Depending
on the size of your pan, you will
probably need to do this in two
batches of four.
Cook for 5min each side
or until golden and cooked
through. Remove and cover to
keep warm. Lightly spray the pan
with a little more oil and increase
the heat to high.
Add the garlic, white part
of the spring onion, spinach
and 60ml water. Cook, tossing
constantly, for 2min or until the
spinach has just wilted. Remove
the pan from the heat and season
with black pepper.
Serve two kumara fritters per
person, layered with the spinach
mixture. Spoon over the dressing
and sprinkle with the green
spring onion.
Roast herb chicken and
vegetables
Serves 4 with leftovers
Ingredients
½ cup finely chopped flat-leaf
parsley
2 Tbsp finely chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp mixed dried herbs
6 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
¼ cup (60ml) red wine vinegar
1.8kg lean chicken tenderloins
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
7 carrots, sliced into rounds
7 zucchini, thickly sliced into
rounds
750g button mushrooms
Light olive oil spray for cooking
1 cup (250ml) salt-reduced
chicken stock
Lemon wedges and flat-leaf parsley
leaves, to serve
Ingredients
Heat the oven to 200 deg C (or
180 deg C fan-forced).
Combine the parsley, rosemary,
dried herbs, garlic, olive
oil, vinegar and chicken in a
large bowl. Season generously
with freshly ground black pepper
and toss well to coat the chicken.
Divide the vegetables among
two large roasting tins and
lightly spray with olive oil. Toss
to combine, then top evenly with
the chicken mixture.
Pour half the stock over the
ingredients in each tin. Bake,
swapping the tins halfway
through and tossing the chicken
and vegetables, for 25-30min
or until the chicken is cooked
through and the vegetables are
soft.
Divide one-third of the chicken
and vegetables among four for
dinner, with lemon wedges and
parsley. Cool the leftovers, then
divide evenly between two large
airtight containers.
Store the leftovers in the fridge
for up to two days or in the
freezer for three months. Thaw
the frozen mixture in the fridge
overnight. Transfer the chilled
mixture to a baking dish and
reheat in a preheated 220 deg C
(200 deg C fan-forced) oven for
15-20min or until hot and crisp.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Superior new magnesium
offers more health benefits!
Magnesium deficiency is widespread with
researchers estimating up to 90% are not
receiving adequate magnesium in their diet.
According to medical researcher Dr. James
DiNicolantonio magnesium deficiency
increases the risk of numerous types of
cardiovascular and other diseases, costing
nations around the world an incalculable
amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and
should be considered a public health crisis.
Some of the typical signs of a magnesium
deficiency are: muscle cramps – especially
in the legs, muscle spasms and twitches,
fatigue, high blood pressure, poor
circulation, sore – heavy or uncomfortable
legs, irregular heart-beat, muscle and back
pain, insomnia, headaches, migraines and
anxiety. Sub-optimal magnesium levels are
also associated with many diseases including
diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s,
cardiovascular, ADHD and kidney.
There are many popular magnesium
supplements on the market, however most
use low cost sources of magnesium that are
also poorly absorbed offering little benefit.
Seeing the serious impact on health that
low magnesium levels are having a New
Zealand company “Biosphere Nutrition”
have developed a new magnesium that offers
superior absorption and more health benefits
compared to most other products available.
Biosphere Magnesium has been created to
be the cleanest, most bioavailable magnesium
supplement available. It combines three
types of the most bioavailable forms of
magnesium to create the ideal dose with
optimal absorption. Each serving provides
a therapeutic dose of 400mg elemental
magnesium to help people maintain
optimum magnesium levels. It is also easy
to take as it comes as a great tasting, easy to
mix powder that is also free of binders, fillers
and artificial ingredients. It is flavoured with
a natural lemon flavour and sweetened with
natural stevia and monk fruit extracts and
coloured with a dash of turmeric.
Magnesium Citrate is the first of the three
magnesium’s. Biosphere have used a natural
marine based magnesium citrate as it has a
great absorption rate and mixes well with
water.
Next is Magnesium Lyscinate Glycinate
Chelate a stable magnesium designed to be
the most bioavailable possible as well as easy
on the stomach.
The last is Di Magnesium Malate a
fantastic form of magnesium for people
suffering from fatigue, since malic acid is
a vital component of enzymes that play
a key role in ATP synthesis and energy
production.
Optimal magnesium levels have been
shown to: Improve Energy, Improve
Sleep, Normalise Blood Pressure, Control
Inflammation, Reduce Pain, Regulate Blood
Sugar, Stop Cramping, Support Normal
Nerve and Muscle Function, Support Healthy
Bones and Help Maintain Good Health.
Biosphere Magnesium and further more
detailed information is available from
the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview
Road, New Brighton, and Phone: 388-5757.
We are always happy to help you!

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness in
your house
The facts about
Home Ventilation
Balanced Pressure
vs Positive Pressure
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.
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need
to be suitably ventilated, either with
opening windows or forced ventilation.
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this
provision is to safeguard people from
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of
fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced,
or mechanical, ventilation over opening
windows, including warmth, security,
reduction of outside noises and reduction
of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in
from outside via the roof space and force
the stale air out through gaps around
windows and doors. The incoming air
from these systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm in winter or
cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced
pressure’ system. It extracts air from the
house and at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air pass through
a heat exchanger, which warms incoming
air in winter and cools in summer if air
conditioning is being used. This means that
up to 80% of the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating
or cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure
ventilation systems have been considerably
more expensive than traditional
positive pressure systems. However,
with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a
HEX390 balanced pressure system
can be installed for a similar price as
a traditional positive pressure system.
