$77,000
spent on
intersection
plans but still
no council
decision
• By Claire Booker
MORE THAN $77,000 has been
spent by the city council on costs
associated with the Harewood,
Breens and Gardiners Rds
intersection.
The costs include design
work, consultation meetings,
the independent safety review,
resources and city council staff
time. The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board has
listened to what the Harewood
community wants and has voted
unanimously in favour of traffic
lights.
This recommendation goes
against the city council report,
which said traffic lights were the
least safe option.
The recommendation by the
board has been passed on to the
infrastructure, transport and
environment committee.
The city council staff recommendation
showed the preferred
option was a revised left in/left
out with signalised pedestrian
crossings, which would allow
right turns from Harewood Rd
into Gardiners Rd for all vehicles.

Fun event for Northwood residents
• By Claire Booker
AN EVENING which involved
kicking a ball around with
Canterbury rugby players and
grabbing a bite to eat was held
last week in Northwood.
The event was organised by
AMI insurance, which has been
closely involved with the community
since the Marble Court
explosion last month.
About 50 people attended the
event where free rugby tickets
were provided by AMI, as well
as the chance to meet some
rugby stars.
Canterbury rugby halfback
Mitch Drummond said it was
nice to be able to connect with
the team’s fans.
“It was great to be out among the
community in Northwood and
putting some smiles on the faces
of locals who have been through a
tough time recently,” he said.
AMI spokeswoman Valerie
von Geldern said it was nice to
come together and support the
community.

“We know it’s been a tough
time for them since the
explosion. We also wanted to
take the opportunity to thank
the volunteers and emergency
service workers who gave their
time over that weekend to
support the community,” she
said.
The event was held at the Styx
Mill Country Club, and Ms
von Geldern said it was a good
chance for the community to
take some time out, meet some
rugby players and grab a bite to
eat.
FUN: Some
keen rugby
followers got
the chance
to play
touch with
Canterbury
players at a
community
barbecue last
week.
AMI business development
manager Gary Rennie said
the event wasn’t to do with business.
“This event wasn’t about
insurance, it was just something
nice that we wanted to do for
the Northwood community so
we did. We had a really great
turnout and the parents loved
seeing their kids have so much
fun playing a game of touch
rugby with the Canterbury
players. Just seeing the smiles
on everyone’s faces made it all
worthwhile,” he said.
In Brief
SPEED ZONE CHANGE
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board has unanimously voted
to recommend the city council
drop the speed limit along Sisson
Drive, Langdons Rd, Restell St
and Winston Ave to 30km/h. The
recommendation was made after
consultation showed 70 per cent
of the submissions made were in
favour of the change.
BUS AND BIKE LANES
The dedicated bus and bike lane
project on Main North Rd has now
been put on hold. The city council
was expected to start work in
July, but since then, New Zealand
Transport Agency constraints
have created uncertainty around
funding for the project. The city
council is working with NZTA
to confirm if and when funding
will be available for the project.
NZTA hopes to have an update
on funding in mid-September, but
work on the project will not start
before 2020.
ST ALBANS ROAD WORKS
Work is due to start next week
on renewing the wastewater
pipes from Edgeware Rd to 133
Caledonian Rd. The work is due to
begin on Monday and is expected
to be finished by October 12. Work
has also started on upgrading two
well-heads on Mays Rd, and is
expected to be finished by the end
of next month.

FINALS: The Christchurch Girls’ High School team will play
Technical B in the premier 2 final tonight.
Playing for promotion
•From page 1
CGHS head of sport Robin
Brown said the season has been
“very good.”
“The team have taken the
movement from senior 1 and
playing outside, to premier 2 in
their stride,” she said.
Last week, the team faced
off against St Nicholas in the
semi-final of the premier 2 competition,
and scraped by with a
one-goal win, beating St Nicholas
41-40.
The girls will take on Technical
B in the final tonight at Pioneer
Stadium at 6.30pm, and it is set
to be a tough battle.
Technical B will go into the
final as firm favourites, after
playing the final round of the
competition unbeaten, with a
dominant 25-goal win against
the school team the last time
they faced off.
The winner of the final will
be promoted to premier 1 next
season, and CGHS has not had a
team play in the top grade since
about 2003.
The team has six year 13 players,
and Mrs Brown said losing
their experience will impact the
team next season, but there are
promising young players in the
junior teams.
The team is set to put on a
strong showing at the South
Island Secondary Schools netball
competition next month, sitting
at third place from last year’s
tournament.
“The success the team have had
will definitely put them in good
stead for South Islands. Having two
consecutive nights of strong netball
competition – club and Super Net,
also helps for tournament play. The
team have great confidence and
belief,” Mrs Brown said.
Signals highest cost option
•From page 1
This recommendation was
the most cost-effective option
at $500,000, but consultation
showed this was the preferred
option by only 18 per cent of
submitters.
The city council report said
traffic signals was the highest cost
option for the intersection at $1.2
million, but 77 per cent of submitters
voted in favour of the lights.
The report said traffic signals
are four times more likely to
result in fatal or serious injury
than the preferred left in/ left out
option.
The report also said the traffic
signals option is unlikely to be
eligible for New Zealand Transport
Agency subsidy as the left in/
left out options resolves the safety
issues at a significantly lower cost.
This means the city council may
have to fund 100 per cent of the
project cost, which could see a
0.01 per cent increase in rates.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board chairman Sam
MacDonald said he will be disappointed
if a decision is not made
by the city council before the local
body elections.
“This has been three years in
the making. If it was deferred
because it was seen as ‘too contentious
prior to an election’ I think
it would speak volumes as to the
LIGHTS: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
has recommended traffic signals should be installed at the
intersection of Harewood Breens and Gardiners Rds.

current council’s willingness to
listen to ratepayers,” he said.
Mr MacDonald said the community
board’s role is to listen to
the residents and make a decision
from there, which is why they
went against the city council staff
recommendation.
“The council is owned by
ratepayers, you can have the most
technical advice in the world – but
in the end, if local residents don’t
want the road blocked off and they
want a set of traffic lights, who are
we not to follow their wishes?” Mr
MacDonald said.
Harewood Ward city councillor
Aaron Keown has been a strong
voice in the campaign for change
at the intersection, and he said he
is feeling “over the moon” about
the community board’s decision.
Cr Keown looks forward to seeing
the outcome of the proposal
after the city council make a decision,
but there is no confirmed
date of this yet.
The city council said the report
will come before council before
the elections.
Cr Keown hopes the outcome
of the meeting will reflect the
community board recommendation
and what the public wants,
he said it would be “arrogant
and dangerous” for an elected
member to vote against what the
public wants, especially so close
to elections.
“It would be pretty rude for
any elected member to go against
democracy,” he said.

Ugandan children focus of trip
• By Claire Booker
SORTING PILLS and potions
aren’t the only roles of two
Bishopdale pharmacists.
Next month, co-owners of
the Bishopdale Unichem Pharmacy,
Maria Morley-Bunker
and Amanda Nuttall will go to
Uganda on a volunteer trip.
The trip is organised by the
Entrepreneurial Business School
and the two women will be part
of a 22-person cohort based in
Kyampisi, Uganda.
Ms Morley-Bunker and Ms
Nuttall will be working closely
with the Kyampisi Childcare
Ministries, a not-for-profit organisation.
KCM’s vision is to end child
trafficking in Uganda.
Over the course of the nineday
trip, Ms Morley-Bunker and
Ms Nuttall will help to build a
new rehabilitation centre and
offer support to the children and
families in the community.
Ms Nuttall said the two women
think the trip is important because,
without the volunteers,
KCM would have to find a lot of
money to pay for the work the volunteers
will do over the nine days.
“In the scheme of things, it
may not be a lot, but with the
number of us going, it will
equate to approximately two
MISSION: Bishopdale Unichem Pharmacy co-owners Amanda
Nuttall and Maria Morley-Bunker will head to Uganda on a
volunteer mission next month. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN ​
months of work that would
otherwise have to be funded
from somewhere – or for parts
of it, just may not get done,” Ms
Nuttall said.
The women don’t view the trip
as something to further their
careers, but they hope it will
help them grow their ability to
connect, relate to and care for
others.
It will be the first time either of
the women has been involved in
a trip like this, and they said they
know their team at the pharmacy
will keep the business running
well while they are away.
The team at the pharmacy
as a group will sponsor a child
through KCM, which Ms
Morley-Bunker and Ms Nuttall
said will help keep the business’
connection with Uganda in the
future.
The women said dealing with
the trauma the children have
been exposed to will be a big test
as to how they can best care for
and support the children and
their families while balancing
their own emotions.
Ms Morely-Bunker said the
two women have been told the
children in Uganda love learning
about the volunteers’ families.
“We plan to take some short
video clips with us to share, so
the Ugandan children can see
NZ kids, and hear (and hopefully
learn) some New Zealand
songs, in the languages of New
Zealand; New Zealand Sign
Language, Te Reo and English.
We will also be taking over
some netballs, this is a common
link between New Zealand and
Uganda, we both have netball
teams in the top seven in the
world,” she said.
Ms Morley-Bunker and Ms
Nuttall will leave for Uganda in
mid-September, and the trip will
take 30 hours from Christchurch
to Uganda.
Part of the trip will include eye
care – if you have glasses you no
longer need (for people of any
age) you can drop them into the
Bishopdale Unichem Pharmacy
by September 13 and the women
will take them to Uganda for
people in need.
Library to
remain
closed
REDWOOD LIBRARY will
remain closed in order to carry
out more repairs.
It was originally due to reopen
on August 26. However, further
investigations show the building
requires more work than planned.
City council acting head of
libraries and information Erica
Rankin said the first stage of work
on the building has revealed the
need for more extensive repairs.
“When carpet was removed
during the refurbishment, it
revealed cracks in the concrete
slab around the structural steel
columns. Our engineers need to
assess the damage and determine
the best way to carry out repairs,”
Ms Rankin said.
The Redwood Library has never
undergone earthquake repairs, as
previous engineering assessments
considered it suitable for continued
occupation.
“We want to ensure that the
library is in the best shape to
service the local community for
many more years.”
A mobile service will continue
to visit the library twice a week on
Wednesdays from 10am to 11am
and on Fridays from 3pm to 4pm.

October elections draw
more candidates than 2016
• By Claire Booker
THE NUMBER of local body
election candidates across the
five wards covered by Nor’West
News has increased compared to
the 2016 elections.
Five more candidates have put
their hands up to represent the
wards on the city council than in
the previous election.
And out of all 16 city council
candidates, only half have put
their name forward for the
community board too.
The Papanui-Innes and
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
community boards each have
13 candidates running. This is
an increase of six candidates
for the Papanui-Innes board
and an increase of three for the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
board, compared to 2016.
In 2016, there were only two
candidates in the running for
the Innes Ward of the Papanui-

most contested ward, equalling

From St Margaret’s College
to arts camp in Michigan
IT WAS A busy three weeks at
theatre camp in Michigan for St
Margaret’s College student Lara
Chiswell.
Lara applied to the camp
with a recorded audition, and
was offered a place on the
Musical Theatre Golden Age
Revue Summer programme
in the United States town of
Interlochen.
The Interlochen Arts Camp
is held annually, and each
year thousands of artists and
arts patrons travel to the US
for world-class education and
cultural opportunities.
Students can study music,
theatre, visual arts, film, creative
writing and dance at the camp.
Over the three-week course,
the students were required to
learn 20 pieces of golden age
musical theatre.
Golden age musical theatre is
considered to be from the 1940s
to the 1950s.
It is a long way from Lara’s
home in Strowan to the camp in
Michigan, and she described the
time away as “busy.”
“Our days were very busy
starting class at 8am then
carrying on to 11.45am,” she said.
The students would then have
a lunch break until 1pm and then
have a practice period, where
they had their own time to go
over dances or harmonies in
songs. The classes would resume
at 2pm and finish at 5pm for a
dinner break. From 6.30-9pm
there would be night practices
and then it was bedtime at
9.30pm.
At the end of the three
weeks, the students put on a
performance and Lara was one

of just two girls to perform a

“During my time here (theatre
camp) I learned so much and
made some amazing friends. It
was incredible to be around such
like-minded people. My time at

three weeks of my life.”

‘The cube’ lands at
Bishopdale pre-school
• By Claire Booker
IT’S ALL fun and games on the
new playground at Bishopdale
Community Preschool.
Last week the pre-school
installed “the cube” – a new
climbing frame.
Centre manager Sarah Straver
said the pre-school has been
through “a bit of a journey since
the earthquakes.”
It moved from a city councilowned
building at Bishopdale
Mall in 2012 to a temporary
premises set up at Breens
Intermediate School.
The pre-school fundraised
for four years and in 2016 a
NOR’WEST NEWS
permanent premises was opened
at Breens Intermediate.
Since then, the pre-school
has been slowly developing its
playground.
Ms Straver said fundraising
was a big challenge for getting
the Cube.
“We began with grant
applications to several potential
funders, and the city council
was the first and only funder
willing to help out our learning
community,” she said.
The city council funded $3000,
which left the pre-school needing
to find $8000. In June, the preschool
decided to use its reserve
funds to complete the project.

Working for Firestone
Janet Tillman concludes
her memories of working
in the Firestone factory
office in Langdons Rd in
the 1970s
LUNCH TIME was spent in
the cafeteria; there were two
of these, one for the rubber
workers and the other for the
office staff.
THe segregation was
simply because the factory
workers were covered in soot
(lampblack) and this was
transferred to the furniture
so having separate facilities
enabled the office staff to keep
their clothes clean.
The cafeteria provided excellent
fresh food at reasonable
prices. I can still recall the
sandwiches, savouries and bread
rolls as well as slices and cream
cakes.
We had little contact with
management or the factory
workers (I can only recall entering
the factory about three times
during the years I worked at
Firestone).
However, at Christmas,
we all socialised together at a
party held at a Redwood restaurant.
During my period at Firestone,
I was able to widen my
work experience in another
role when I was asked to relieve
for the telephone switchboard
operators at lunch times.
Firestone had a PABX system
which required the operators
to answer the phone and then
switch the call to the person
requested. I enjoyed the experience
of taking international calls
in an era when this service was
forbiddingly expensive for New
Zealand consumers.
In 1981 I resigned to have
my first child but three months
later I was invited back to a temporary
position to resume my
former job in the pricing team.
By then, Firestone had invested
in a computer, a piece of
hardware that was so large that
it took up a whole room. Given
that the general manager was
named Clyde, it was inevitable

that the computer was referred
to as Bonnie in reference to a
popular movie of the day.
For a couple of months, we
carried out a check on the accuracy
of the computer by also
running our old manual system
when preparing the monthly
pricing schedule for Firestone
products.
When the computer system
was judged to be operating satisfactorily
my association with
Firestone ended.
On reflection, I thoroughly
enjoyed my five years at Firestone.
Working conditions were
excellent and I was paid above
the national award rate although
we were forbidden to discuss
individual pay rates with our
colleagues.
Painting of namesake
acquired for village
A PORTRAIT of Dame Ngaio
Marsh has been gifted to Ngaio
Marsh Retirement Village’s
residents to celebrate the 20th
anniversary of their home in
Papanui.
The retirement village was
named in honour of Dame
Ngaio, the Christchurch detective
fiction author regarded
as one of the queens of crime
alongside Agatha Christie in the
1930s.
Dame Ngaio published 32
detective novels between 1934
and 1982 and also built a career
as a theatre director.
In 1956, Leonard Mitchell, a
distinguished young portrait
painter, painted Dame Ngaio in
the sitting room of her Cashmere
home.
The portrait was a finalist in
Australia’s Archibald Prize in
1956 and remained in the hands
of the Mitchell family for the
next 60 years.
Leonard Mitchell’s art has undergone
a revival in recent years,
and when the opportunity came
up to buy the painting from
the family, Ryman Healthcare
couldn’t say no.
Ryman Healthcare chief
executive Gordon MacLeod said
it was a great opportunity to
celebrate Ngaio Marsh and keep

the portrait in Christchurch.
“It’s a significant piece of
New Zealand art and we were
delighted to be able to secure it
for the future at Ngaio Marsh
village,’’ Mr MacLeod said.
“It will take pride of place in
our foyer and we think it will
give huge enjoyment to everyone
who sees it.’’
The painting was presented at
a party to celebrate the village’s
anniversary with residents and
members of the Ngaio Marsh
House and Heritage Trust.

CBHS rider brings home world titles
LAURENCE Pithie has
returned home with two
junior world titles after
bursting onto the international
cycling scene.
The Christchurch Boys’
High School student won
rainbow jerseys in the
madison and omnium at
the UCI junior track world
championships in Germany.
It marked an outstanding
campaign for Laurence, who
only recently turned 17 and
will qualify for the junior
worlds again next year.
He started well in his quest
to win the omnium, finishing
fourth in the opening 7.5km
scratch race, before taking on
the tempo race, comprising of
a sprint in each of the 26 laps
after a four-lap start.
“It is my weak link in the
omnium and one I don’t
usually do very well in,” he
said.
But he broke clear to win
10 sprints in a row to claim
the honours and followed up
with a win in the elimination
race, where the last rider is
eliminated every second lap.
“I had a great start in the

points race and collected
points in each of the first
five sprints, and from that
point on it was a case of
just covering wheels. I was
absolutely knackered.”
Laurence claimed first equal
in the points race to finish
with 129 overall.
On the final day of the
championships he paired up
with Taupo’s Kiaan Watts to
dominate the madison, which
attracted 350 riders from 40
nations.
The pair finished with 49
points, ahead of Germany on
35 and France on 27, in the
30km race where no team was
able to put a lap on the field.
The New Zealand pair won
the final three sprints to seal
the win.
“Laurence missed the
change with one and a half
laps to go and just put his head
down and went for it,” said
coach Myron Simpson.
“They were in command
throughout. Kiaan rode a
brilliant tactical race and
Laurence was so committed.
They rode perfectly together
and shared the load.”
Volunteers show visitors

WALKING GUIDES
WANTED
Showing visitors to many of Christchurch’s
beauty spots, natural attractions, places
of historical interest, and the changing
cityscape as the city rebuilds, is the
task undertaken by the team of 20
knowledgeable and friendly guides at
Walk Christchurch.
All the volunteers thoroughly enjoy
revealing our city’s unique features, many
of which visitors may not discover on their
own, and answering questions on the city
and its people.
Walk Christchurch was established in
1982 as the Christchurch Personal Guiding
Service, and has undergone a number of
changes over the years to meet the needs
of increasing numbers of visitors to the city.
The primary walk is the Classic
Christchurch Walk, a five-kilometre walk
around the central city, which takes
about two and a half to three hours. From
October, a shorter Highlights Christchurch
Walk is also being introduced. This will be
2.5 kilometres, lasting about 90 minutes.
More walks are also planned to meet
different requirements.
The walks are ranked in the top 10 activities
for tourists in Christchurch by Trip Advisor,
and positive reviews are regularly posted
on the Trip Advisor website.
Here is one example:
“Highly recommend booking this walking
tour. My guide was incredibly informed
and passionate about Christchurch, and
it was a pleasure to listen to him speak
about the city he loves. The walk never felt
tiresome, and I got to see all the sights of
Christchurch. Highly recommended!”
The volunteer guides themselves get many
benefits from their guiding activities.
For example, Josie has, over the years
of guiding, developed an interest in our
city – its past, present and future as well
as improving her knowledge of the city
architecture and landscape.
Josie considers herself not just a walking
guide, but an ambassador for the city. She
is often one of the few people that visitors
can meet and talk with over the duration
of the walk.
Craig appreciates being part of an
active, sociable group of walking guides.
He has increased his appreciation of
Christchurch and the guided walks have
taken him to places he had never visited
or known about. Stories about those
places have strengthened his connection
to Christchurch and his knowledge about
what is happening in Christchurch.
Volunteers needed
To meet the growing demand for the
walks, Walk Christchurch is seeking more
volunteers to join the team. Details of
requirements can be seen to the right of
this page.
For more information visit the Walk
Christchurch website below.
WALK CHRISTCHURCH provides
guided walks in central Christchurch.
Last year we guided 1800 walkers.
TripAdvisor ranks our walks in
the top 10 out of more than 110
activities in Christchurch
Visit our website walkchristchurch.nz
for more information about us.
WALK CHRISTCHURCH is recruiting
cheerful, enthusiastic volunteer
walking guides to meet the increased
demand for our walks. We provide an
induction and training programme.
Our guides are expected to -
• Lead up to four walks each month
in the visitor season.
• Be knowledgeable about the city
and committed to giving walkers a
great experience
• Be fit and active

Ryman’s sales advisor of the year
Marie Kyle-Stevenson is
often seen out and about
in Christchurch as she
makes connections with those
that may want to nd out
about life at Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village.
At Ryman Healthcare’s 2019
Annual Awards, Marie was
announced as Sales Advisor of
the Year.
She has been at the Papanui
village for 13 years and says
her job all comes down to the
relationships she develops
with people – she calls it
the magic of networking,
adding that building trust
is important.
But Marie is not only about
putting out feelers into the
community. She has a real
passion for nding the right
home for those who are
contemplating village life and
all the benets, including the
security and extra amenities.
Ngaio Marsh has an allweather
bowling green, indoor
heated swimming pool, spa,
atrium, library, gym, hair
salon, bar, shop, a putting
green and a croquet lawn.
“It’s wonderful to see
residents move in and enjoy
what we have on offer,” she says.
The village is in a quiet
but convenient location.
Marie likes to inform potential
residents about the many
benets of village life including
the continuum of care available.
Ngaio Marsh Village Manager Anna Thomson and Sales Advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson
Some opt for independent
living in townhouses or assisted
living in serviced apartments.
There is also the very best
of resthome and hospital
care. She takes her time to
ensure the initial conversation
with potential residents, really
explores their needs.
“I honestly think that
my success is through
building relationships.” Ryman
villages are built on strong
relationships and ensuring
that residents always feel their
village is home.
She celebrated the win with
other members of the Ryman
team at the company’s recent
annual conference. Marie says
it was a great occasion with
plenty of support from other
team members.
When she talks about Ngaio
Marsh village she reects on
the feel-good factor a village
can provide. A lot of people are
looking for the green space and
walkways our village provides;
the closeness to the local shops
and malls and the sunny aspect
the village homes have.
She hosts community groups
for afternoon tea in the village,
and alternatively can go out to
speak to the members of clubs
at their own facilities.
If someone becomes a ‘friend
of the village’ and regularly
attends events they can get a
real feel for the village before
they move in, she adds.
Marie now feels part of the
fabric of Ryman. She loves
her role building relationships
with residents, potential
residents, and making strong
connections in the community.
Marie enjoys hosting events
at the village and says
being involved in so many
people’s decisions to move
into a retirement village is
very rewarding.
Village Manager Anna
Thomson says it was a great
honour that Marie had been
recognised for the Ryman sales
advisor of 2019, reecting that
she has a close association with
the community.
“That’s shown by all
the wonderful events we’ve
held here.”

egg up, carefully roll the egg
on the bench to crack the shell
which will help the egg to cool
down more quickly.
Set the eggs aside to cool while
you prepare the chicken mixture.
Place the chicken breast, apple
(if you are using), ginger, garlic,
fresh herbs, and a tablespoon of
sticky sauce into the bowl of a
blender or food processor.
Season with a little salt and
pepper and blend on high until
very well-combined.
Using a set of scales, evenly
portion the chicken mince into
seven piles.
Very carefully continue to peel
the eggs, making sure not to split
the eggs as you do so. Take your
time.
Take a pile of the mince and
flatten it as much as possible
in the palm of your very clean
hand. Sit the egg on top of the
mince and bring the mince up
to cover the egg as evenly as
possible. This may take a little
practice to get right, so take your
time.
Once all the eggs are covered,
pre-heat your airfryer for two
minutes on 180 deg C. Add the
rest of the sticky sauce to a bowl
and roll the scotch eggs in the
sauce to fully cover the outside of
the eggs.
Place the eggs inside the air
fryer basket and cook for seven
to eight minutes until well
covered and the mince is fully
cooked. Cool the eggs before
storing in the fridge.
You can make these scotch
eggs in advance. They will last
four days in the fridge or you can
vacuum seal them and increase
their fridge shelf life up to two
weeks.
Sticky sauce
Ingredients
1 medium-sized green apple,
peeled, cored and diced
240ml low sodium tamari
120ml apple cider vinegar
120ml water
3 slices ginger
1 lime, zested and juiced
Directions
Place the apple in a small
pot and add enough water so
that it comes halfway up the
apple.
Bring to the boil and cook
for 10min or until the apple
is soft and the water has
evaporated. Blend the apple in
a small food processor until
smooth and place in a mediumsized
pot.
Add the tamari, apple cider
vinegar, water, ginger, lime zest
and lime juice to the apple and
whisk well to combine.
Bring the sauce to the boil and
then reduce to a rapid simmer
and cook for 10-15min or until
the sauce has reduced down
by half and has become a little
thicker and syrupy.
Cool the sauce and store in a
jar in the refrigerator for up to
two months.

Answering your questions
on massage therapy
What is massage therapy and what are
the different types?
Why can it be beneficial for you?
Who should be your therapist?
Massage therapy is used to help manage a health
condition or enhance wellness.
It involves manipulating the soft tissues of the
body. Massage has been practised in most cultures,
throughout human history and was one of the earliest
tools that people used to try to relieve pain.
Swedish/Relaxation – This is a gentle form of
massage with long, flowing strokes, kneading, tapping
and vibration that will help calm your nervous system.
Deep Tissue – This is for the clients that are having
issues with body mechanics, back/neck, postural, hip/
knee issues. This kind of massage consists of deep
muscle work that requires a qualified therapist with
the knowledge and skills to ascertain what is going
on throughout the deep muscular system. It can be
painful but has great benefits and results.
Sports Massage – This is a great massage for
pre- or post-events to help get the muscles in the best
condition to help prevent injury and aid in recovery
after exercise.
Hot Rock – This is literally massaging with hot
Aches and Pains?
Poor Posture? Tired,
Stressed Body?
rocks heated up to 57 degrees – with this massage you
can go either way, nice and relaxing or into the deeper
muscles.
Finding a massage therapist
It can be a bit overwhelming trying to find a good
massage therapist, especially one that is qualified.
At Bodysense there are level six qualified Remedial
therapists, who are active members of the Massage
Association of New Zealand. It is recommended,
especially if getting a deep tissue massage, to ask if the
person who is treating you is qualified. This is for your
own peace of mind and safe practice. Having deep
tissue by someone not qualified is not good practice
and they are not going to be able to deliver the results
that you require or understand the body in the way
that they need to.
Unfortunately, in New Zealand this industry is not
as regulated as it should be yet, so always look out for
a therapist that is part of The New Zealand Massage
Association or holds a diploma level 6 or above.
Brush aside thoughts that massage is only a feel good
way to indulge or pamper yourself. On the contrary,
massage is a very powerful tool in helping people
correct many common body ailments. At Bodysense,
they have clients that live a more comfortable, painfree
life, in comparison to previously, due to the
therapists’ expertise.

1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many
as 50% of older adults and as many as
25% of younger adults are deficient in
vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush University
Medical Center found those most
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the
smallest brain mass and the lowest scores
on tests measuring short-term memory,
concentration and brain performance.
Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood
have bigger, healthier brains and score
higher on cognitive tests than those with
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark
study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.
B12 is essential for energy production, cell
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,
nerve health and repair, and prevention of
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk
factor that is known to cause damage
and plaque in the blood vessels. It
can also increase the chances of a
stroke. Harvard researchers found
a 34% decrease risk of vision loss
in a study of participants aged 40+
who supplemented with B12. Another
study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb
it declining with age as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further reduce
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and
thru bypassing the digestive tract have
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in
the body.
Further detailed information is
available from the Natural Health
Advisers at Marshall’s Health and
Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.
