teacher of the year is a
prestigious title to hold, and
Duncan Ferguson is one of
three Kiwis in the running.
The St Andrew’s College head
of music has been teaching at
the school for 10 years, and he
said being the only South Island
finalist is a huge honour.
“I know there is a large number
of teachers all over New
Zealand, so I’m surprised that I
have received this. I also feel really
glad that the hard work I do
at St Andrew’s College and for
the music teaching community
has been honoured,” he said.
Other finalists for the Recorded
Music New Zealand
award are Jane Egan from Gisbourne
Girls’ High School who
is a finalist for the second year
in a row and Sue Banham from
Rosehill College in Auckland.

House for
criminals
could be
unlawful
• By Sophie Cornish
A HALFWAY house for serious
criminals in upmarket Merivale
could be operating unlawfully.
The Salisbury St Foundation in
St Albans St is now under investigation
by the city council after its
compliance team received a complaint
about the matter last week.
Said a city council spokesman:
“To be lawfully operating at the
sites under the Resource Management
Act, the activities would
either need to be operating under
existing use rights or be permitted
by the Christchurch District
Plan. We don’t have this information
at this stage.”
He said there are no resource
consents recorded for any of the
properties owned by the foundation.
On September 17, Nor’west
News reported the foundation
had expanded and brought more
properties nearby. It is now able to
house 21 criminals, up from 15.
In August, a new consolidated
agreement with the foundation
and the Department of Corrections
approved the increase, as
well as changes which means all
of the foundation’s services are
financially compensated for by
Corrections.

Community centre site blessed
In Brief
• By Claire Booker
A SITE blessing and sod-turning
ceremony held last week marked
preparations for work on the
new $3.1 million St Albans
Community Centre.
Contractors are due to be onsite
by early November.
But some residents are concerned
about the high-cost for
the centre, and lack of sustainable
energy and water systems.
But St Albans Resident’s Association
board member Lynne
O’Keefe said the association is
helping to ensure these systems
are put in place. She said this is a
plan for the future.
“There obviously has been a
lot put into it [community centre]
now, but we will be working
to get that sorted,” she said.
The single-storey building will
be on the site formerly occupied
by the earthquake-damaged
centre – a block of land that
runs between Colombo St and
Caledonian Rd.
The building will have modern
timber and a glass facade with
400 sq m of floor space, including
a hall with a stage, three
meeting rooms, an office and a
kitchen.
A central gathering space
will open out on to a deck to
the north, delivering light and

As a community hub, it
will provide a base for many
groups that cater to all ages and
interests,” he said.
Many local groups are currently
operating out of makeshift
spaces around St Albans.
“With the new centre a step
closer, they can soon be under
one roof and continue to provide
support to the local community,
along with plenty of activities and
opportunities,” Mr Filsell said

already looking forward to utilising
the new hub, with several

Maximising student motivation
•From page 1
The three finalists were selected
from 200 nominations received
for 76 individual music teachers
and mentors across the country.
Mr Ferguson said being named
as a finalist has helped to reassure
him he knows what he is doing.
“I have spent so much of my
career second-guessing myself
about whether I’m doing a good
job as a teacher. In a way though,
this has been a good thing as it
means I’ve constantly been questioning
my practice, and how to
adapt to new students every year,”
he said.
Recorded Music New Zealand
chief executive Damian Vaughan
said it is a privilege to celebrate
Aotearoa’s top music teachers and
the significant impact they have
on so many New Zealanders.
“For the second year, we have
reviewed the incredible work
of the best music teachers in
Aotearoa. The guidance they give
our rangatahi on their creative
journeys can’t be overstated,
it’s one of the main reasons our
music industry is thriving,” Mr
Vaughan said.
At St Andrew’s, Mr Ferguson
manages 30 co-curricular groups
across all genres of music, which
more than 140 students are involved
in.
Mr Ferguson redesigns his
courses annually to maximise
student motivation and engagement.
“My students are not allowed to
ask: ‘What do I need to do to get
excellence?’ We are always looking
at where they are at as performers,
composers, producers, musicologists
and what do they need to do
to get better,” he said.
Year 13 music student Victoria
Lee said it is special to see her
teacher recognised at a national
level.
“He [Mr Ferguson] never
hesitates to sacrifice his own time
for the benefit of his students. He
will go everywhere and anywhere
to support his students and their
music,” she said.
Classmate Hana Price added:
“What I love about music class
with Mr Ferguson is how projectbased
everything is. Instead of
only focusing on assessment, Mr
Ferguson focuses on creating
music that each student can be
proud of.”
Head boy Luca Vinnell
described Mr Ferguson as an “innovative
teacher.”
“His passion for music and
education is infectious and he
fosters an attitude where we are
encouraged to produce the best
product we can, not stopping
once we have met the course
requirements.”
Making yesterday's
best performance into today’s
new baseline is how legends
roll. Never settle. Never stop.

Villa’s budding business bosses
VILLA MARIA College
students have had the
opportunity to be business
bosses, putting their business
knowledge into practice at the
school’s market day.
Year 10 commerce students
including Bishopdale’s Keito
Yoshida were challenged to create
a product and a food item
and sell to the college community
recently.
“My favourite part was
presenting our prototype and
receiving the feedback so we
could improve our product before
market day. I’m excited to be
selling our coffee cups and cake
mixes at the market and also
helping out our chosen charity,”
said Katie McHerron.
“We had to choose products to
sell, identify the unique selling
point, develop a business plan,
make prototypes and work on
our marketing skills,” said year
10 student Kyra Clarkson, whose
group is called Super Mugs.
“We decided to sell reusable
coffee cups, filled with a readyto-bake
cake mix and cookie
dough.”
Fellow student Keito Yoshida
added: “We focussed on creating
a product that was sustainable
and environmentally friendly,
and encourages people to reuse

their cups, rather than using
disposable cups.”
Commerce is an optional subject
for year 10 students at Villa
Maria College and is a combination
of accounting, economics
and business studies.
It’s a popular subject choice for
students and they enjoy the challenge
of the market day event.
Student Ruby Lundy said: “It
was tricky to come up with a
product that was unique and
special so that we could attract
lots of customers, but we’re really
happy with our end product.”
The students will all decide
on a charity to donate a portion
of their profits to after the
market.
Other products at the market
included reusable metal straws,
face masks and lip scrubs,
bubble tea and sweet treats.
CONGESTION: The Downstream Effects Management Plan
was approved by the city council last week.
Mitigation plan approved
• By Claire Booker
THE PLAN to mitigate the
effects of more than 48,000 extra
vehicles set to come through
St Albans due to a motorway
extension has been approved.
At its meeting on last week, the
city council approved the recommendations
of two community
boards that said public transport
should be prioritised to help
alleviate traffic congestion in the
suburb.
Christchurch’s Northern
Motorway is being extended
through to QEII Drive and Cranford
St and when completed will
effectively slice St Albans in half.
It will also add an extra 48,000
vehicles a day.
Residents have tried to fight
the extension, but all that can
be done now is to find ways to
alleviate the amount of traffic
coming through the suburb.
City councillors also said
Courtenay St near St Albans
School should be investigated for
a street renewal to improve safety
in the next Long Term Plan.
The majority of city councillors
agreed, however, Crs Yani Johanson
and James Gough voted
against the management plan.
The motorway extension and
the traffic management plan will
cost the city council about $70-
80 million, while NZ Transport
Agency will pay for the other
half.
The extension is set to open in
June.

Dig out your historic photos for competition
GIVEN TIME, even the most
ordinary photo can be an
extraordinary window into a
different world.
This photo, picturing the
intersection of High, Hereford
and Colombo Sts, was a
highly commended entry in
Christchurch City Libraries’ 2008
photo hunt. It was submitted
by Tony Bowie and shows his
mother and grandmother on
their way to shop in High St in
the late 1950s.
During the 1950s, the central
city was the prime destination
for shopping in Christchurch,
and women would don hats and
gloves for their trip into town.
The central city enjoyed this
shopping heyday in the first half
of the 20th-century, coinciding
with the peak of reliance on
public transport – first trams,
then buses. Cathedral Square
was the central hub of the
city’s transport network, which
connected the suburbs to the city
centre.
It was customary for people
to go into town to shop, and to
“take tea” in the tea rooms of the
major department stores located
on both sides of Cathedral
Square.

Black Wired wins bandquest
BLACK WIRED from St

school has won the nationwide
primary and intermediate
contest Rockshop Bandquest.
The band earned $3000 worth

Judge Seth Haapu said Black
Wired was immediately recognisable

“An exceptional mix of skill,
confidence and synergy elevated
the band to another level,” he said.
The members of Black Wired
are Ethan Lam (vocals and lead

Hayden Lam (drums), and Sam

Bass player Tama Connelly

Guitarist Sam McAlister said

found out in “a really cool way.”
“Our bassist Tama came up to
me at lunchtime and said, “we’ve

the Smokefreerockquest and
Rockshop Bandquest.
“All four members worked extremely
hard behind the scenes
and turned up to each practice
prepared, which allowed us to
focus on the performance as
well as the song,” he said.
Mr Sumner said it was a great
effort as the lead singer and guitarist
is only 10-years-old.
Rockshop promotions
manager Hamish Jackson said
supporting young bands and
giving them the opportunity to
perform is very much a part of
the ethos of the company which
sponsors the competition.
“There is a lasting impact
for the music community, and
the community in a whole, in
being apart of a programme
like this. A lot of these kids
will find a passion for music
through Rockshop Bandquest,
which can lead to really exciting
future possibilities when this
is nurtured and developed,” he
said.

Successful live gig for
Rangi Ruru musicians
LAST WEEK at one of
Christchurch’s favourite live
venues, Rangi Ruru music students
performed to a full house.
Fat Eddie’s, in the central city,
jumped and buzzed to the sounds
of the contemporary and jazz
music students, who presented a
range of styles in both covers and
original music.
Director of music at Rangi
Ruru, Janet Kingsbury, said the
students thoroughly enjoyed sharing
their music with family and
friends.
“There was so much variety. We
heard from our rock bands, ranging
from first-time performers in
year 9 to the more experienced
NOR’WEST NEWS
year 13 groups,”
Mrs Kingsbury said the jazz
combo and jazz bands were crowd
favourites, following their successes
at the Southern Jam Jazz
Youth Festival last month.
“The jazz combo and jazz
band really got toes tapping with
popular and well-known jazz
standards, along with some that
would have been new to audience
members. It was a very special
afternoon,” she said.
Event organiser and Rangi’s
rock band mentor, Henare Kaa,
said the girls worked hard towards
the event and were excited
about the opportunity to play in
such a great venue.

Special message in park mural
• By Claire Booker
MACFARLANE PARK in
Mairehau has been given a
new lease of life thanks to an
initiative to bring murals to the
park.
Last week, four murals made
by schools in the area were unveiled,
with one having a focus
on love and support following
March 15’s terror attack.
The mural features a quote
from the memorial service and
the word “peace” in more than
20 languages students at the
school speak, as well as flowers
made from recycled plastic.
The quote on the mural, from
Farid Ahmed says: “I may be
from one culture, you may come
from another culture, I may
have one faith, you may have
one faith, but together we are a
beautiful garden.”
Shirley Primary School parent
and board of trustees member,
Bec Roper-Gee was a driving
force to getting the murals completed.
“I walked my kids to Shirley
Primary through MacFarlane
Park for the last seven years and
often thought it would be wonderful
if the local children could
have something more uplifting
to look at every morning than
the sad old fences that line both
sides of the park,” she said.
Ms Roper-Gee used her background
as an environmental
consultant and a “sustainability
nut,” and had the idea to upcycle
plastic milk bottle lids for the
mural.
“I worked with the Shirley
Primary students on their
mural, spending many hours
shredding milk bottle lids and
helping the kids fill moulds
and melt the plastic. We hope
these will be the first of many
artworks enhancing the park”
she said.
Shirley Primary pupils Pietro
Moses and Kamden Dyer said
the mural represents how each
person’s differences make them
unique.
“This is an opportunity to add
some colour into MacFarlane
Park and to provide a constant
reminder of what happened,”
they said.
Said Shirley Primary School
principal Alistair Sim: “This
mural will hopefully continue
to encourage our community to
embrace our differences and ensure
that hatred does not survive
in a positive community.”

of early childhood centres in
the area – and Chisnallwood
Intermediate were also involved
in the murals.
Shirley Intermediate School
teacher Margaret Dwan said
the combined mural the school
made with Chisnallwood
Intermediate required a lot of
organisation to keep it looking
cohesive.
The mural included birds
which were painted by pupils
from Shirley Intermediate from
different ethnicities, and each
bird represented the pupil’s own
ethnic art.
Hip-hop
dancers to
show moves
in Sydney
• By Claire Booker
A GROUP of Papanui hiphop
dancers are due to fly out
to Sydney tomorrow for an
international competition.
Two dance crews from Zion
Studios will compete at the World
Supremacy Battleground International
Championship this week.
Head teacher
Bronte Te Mete said
Zion aims to create a
positive environment
for people.
“We use dance as
Bronte
Te Mete
a tool to build community
and whanau
and to build students
up with life skills and positive
mechanisms,” she said.
The studio’s senior students
competed in Hamilton at the
World Supremacy Battleground
qualifier recently and took out the
secondary school-aged and open
sections.
“Both crews have been working
tirelessly to create their own
masterpieces to showcase on the
world stage,” Miss Te Mete said.
The competition runs over four
days, with different workshops
and classes around hip-hop
culture and dance.

Pupils urge community
to help them recycle
FENDALTON Open-Air School
pupils are asking residents to
hand over their toothbrushes
and toothpaste tubes to help
win a national recycling
competition.
The pupils are leading the war
on waste by collecting all their
old toothbrushes and saving
them from landfill.
They are taking part in the
Colgate Community Garden
Challenge. It is encouraging
schools to register, collect and
ship all their oral care waste to
TerraCycle which will turn it
into new products.
The competition encourages
pupils to learn about
sustainability by seeing how
waste which would normally be
sent to landfill can be given a
second life and made into a new
product such as a garden bed.
A recycled community garden
set will be awarded to two
schools, as well as a $300 Mitre
10 voucher which can be used to
buy seeds and plants.
Rebecca Dalton, of Fendalton
Open-Air School, said the
pupils want to involve their
entire community as part of
their environmental education
programme. The results
achieved at last year’s Colgate
Community Garden Challenge
saw more than 50,000 pieces of
oral care waste diverted from
SCHOOLS
landfill, with 331 schools signing
up to the programme and 4000
votes entered online.
To join the competition,

Paparoa Street School joins
forces to restore reserve
OUTDOOR EDUCATION has
taken on a new meaning for
Paparoa Street School pupils
who have joined forces with
city council rangers to restore
Rutland Reserve.
The pupils are engaged
in the future planning and
development of the park.
City council rangers –
supported by the community
partnerships fund and Papanui-
Innes Community Board – have
been working with the pupils
over the past six months.
Along with Ngāi Tūāhuriri,
the pupils are working together
to name two of the reserve’s postearthquake
streams.
City council parks
programmes and partnerships
manager Kate Russell said the
children appear more aware of
their environment and the need
to take care of their world.
“Youngsters, generally, are
becoming more involved,
thanks – in part – to the ‘Greta
Thunberg effect’,” Ms Russell

said. “It’s important that
young children have a voice
in their community and that
their opinions are valued.
By including pupils, teachers
and parents in the park work,
it helps to develop a strong
sense of community in the
neighbourhood. The pupils have
already realised that they can
make a difference,” she said.
The pupils have planted two
kahikatea – a gift from the
Riccarton Bush Trust –
in the reserve as the first
step to recreating a kahikatea
forest.
Paparoa Street School board
of trustees chairman Hirone
Waretini is excited about where
the learning is taking the
children.
“It aligns with a treaty-based
approach – partnership,
protection and principle – but
also takes children into some
cutting-edge territory learning
about environmental science,”
he said.

PAPANUI BOXERS will
compete for New Zealand titles
at the national championships
which start tomorrow in
Hastings.
Kwahli Beauchamp, Daniel
Meehan and Sam Burdett-Clark
will represent the Smiling Tigers
gym, while Tom Westall and
Ryan Entese will represent the
Papanui Boxing Club in the
20-strong Canterbury team.
Canterbury and Smiling Tigers
coach Mark Fuller believes he
has athletes capable of bringing
home some medals.
Kwahli is the 14-year-old son
of Canterbury professional Nort
Beauchamp and is a current New
Zealand champion in the under-
40kg cadet grade.
“He would be the most improved
Canterbury boxer and
while he’s a little short, he has
one heck of a work-rate and has
improved so much,” Fuller said.
Meehan is chasing his third
New Zealand title.
Burdett-Clark has four silver
medals at national level and
Fuller said he is capable of earning
his first national title.
“He’s looking good, he broke
his wrist earlier this year, but
has come back, represented New
Zealand and won a couple of
fights here in Christchurch so
he’s tracking well and is good
enough.”
Papanui no longer have their

leader Sam Watt, who has retired
after multiple national titles but
Entese is a defending national
champion in his own right.
“In the cadets, Sutherland and
Kwahli Beauchamp – they’ve
had 25 to 30 fights now and the
juniors Daniel Meehan, James
Charlton and Blake Gibson all
have 30 fights plus,” Fuller said.
“We always aim to medal, but
there are a few kids there that
will need three bouts to earn a
silver or gold but realistically
NOR’WEST NEWS
we should
come back
with a good
haul. This is
the pinnacle

of the year
so they’’ll all
be giving it
everything. Mark Fuller
“Byron
Antal is a good lad, it’ll be a big
step up and he’s keen to learn.”
Weigh-ins were due to take
place today.
“It’s a good team and we
always have expectations to
perform well and to represent
Canterbury well,” Fuller said.

Tasty Bites
Sweet vegan classics from Asia
Try a vegan take on
some Asian classics
Indonesian crumpets
Makes 20
Ingredients
250ml (1 cup) soy or coconut
milk
7g sachet dried active yeast
1 tsp coconut sugar
300g (2 cups) plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla powder
Olive oil or vegan butter, for
greasing
Suggested toppings:
Coconut yoghurt, vegan butter,
pure maple syrup, fresh berries,
shredded basil leaves, dried
edible flowers, hemp seeds, icing
sugar.
Directions
Gently warm the soy or
coconut milk and 250ml (one
cup) of water in a saucepan
over low heat until just warmed
through (don’t warm the liquid
too much or you will kill your
yeast). Pour the liquid into a
bowl and add the dried yeast
and sugar. Set aside in a warm
place for 15min or until the
surface starts to foam. Sift the
flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt
and vanilla into a large bowl.
Add the yeast mixture and stir to
combine. Place a clean damp tea
towel over the mixing bowl and
set aside for 35-40min or until
the mixture is risen and bubbly.
Heat the oven to 100 deg C
fan-forced. Lightly grease a large
frying pan and set over mediumhigh
heat, then lightly grease a
few egg rings and place them in
the pan.
Stir the mixture again – it
should look like thick, bubbly
pancake batter. Add 60-125ml
(¼ cup-½ cup) more water to
reach the desired consistency if
necessary.
Spoon two to three
tablespoons of the mixture into
each egg ring. Cook for 2min
or until the tops are completely
covered in bubbles and the
batter is dry. Remove the egg
rings, transfer the crumpets
to a heatproof plate and keep
warm in the oven. Repeat with
the remaining mixture to make
about 20 crumpets.
Serve the warm crumpets with
your favourite toppings.
Any leftover crumpets will
keep in an airtight container in
the fridge for two to three days
or in the freezer for up to two
weeks.

2-3 long red chillies, roughly
chopped
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2-3cm piece of ginger, roughly
chopped
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp brown mustard seeds
Directions
Using a large mortar and
pestle, pound the masala curry
paste ingredients for about
10min or until you have a
smooth paste (alternatively,
you can use a small food
processor.)
Heat a saucepan over medium
heat, add the oil and curry paste
and saute for 30sec.
Add the onion and saute for
2min, then stir through the
tomatoes and chickpeas.
Reduce the heat to low and
simmer for 30min or until
reduced to a thick curry.
Remove the pan from the heat,
stir through the sugar and lemon
juice, then taste and add a little
salt, if necessary.
Sprinkle the chana masala
with coriander and serve with
steamed basmati rice or garlic
naan on the side and lemon
wedges for squeezing over.
Tip: Keep your chickpea liquid
(aquafaba) to make sriracha
mayo or caesar dressing.

2019 LoCaL ELECtioNS - meet your candidates
Mike Davidson Standing for Councillor - Papanui Ward
Paid Advertising Feature
As Councillor for the Papanui Ward I have
been a strong supporter of local communities
and businesses. I have focused on key city
priorities including chlorine-free drinking water,
improved roading and transport, and a healthy
environment. I have been vocal against the
rates increases and opposed the decision to
chlorinate our drinking water.
We have achieved a lot over the last three
years, including the opening of Tūranga, the
Town Hall, the Lichfield car parking building,
Ngā Puna Wai sports complex and Taiora QEII,
Signs of the Kiwi and Takahe and the St Albans
Pavilion. We’ve completed the Dudley Creek
flood works, the repair of the Redwood Plunket
room, replanted the historic Papanui bush and
retained the postal and bill services in Papanui.
But there is still work to do. We must fight
mantatory chlorination of our pristine and safe
water, lower our carbon emissions and create
a transport system that is safe and accessible
for all. We must repair our damaged roads
and footpaths and ensure our city remains
affordable to live in.
I have actively pushed for passenger rail to
connect the city to our neighbouring districts
and for public transport to come to CCC, so the
bus service can actually work for us.
I have the experience and a proven track
record of standing up for our communities
and living locally I know the opportunities and
challenges we face.
Local body elections are about local people
not political parties and a vote for Mike
Davidson is a vote for a strong, independent
and local voice that will represent you and the
Papanui Ward at the Council table.

Authorised by M Davidson. 11 Norfolk Street, St Albans, Christchurch.
Nathan McCluskey Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Papanui Ward
Hi, I’m Dr Nathan McCluskey and I’m
standing for Council for Papanui. I live in
Redwood with my wife Gina and 5 of our 6
boys.
I was born and grew up in the Papanui Ward
attending Northcote Primary and Casebrook
Intermediate Schools. With post-graduate
degrees in political science and demography I
bring an analytical mind to the table - because
that’s my bread and butter. I spent ten years
in the public sector working on large scale
survey design. I currently own and operate
my own research consultancy and know all
about population data and how that can best
translate into sound policy.
My family and I are actively involved in the
wider community in youth leadership and local
sports.
I’ve been the Chair of the Christchurch
Central Labour Electorate Committee and
with my educational expertise and experience
working in the public sector and running my
own business, I bring a suite of skills and
knowledge to the table that will enable me to
build the bridges necessary and break down
the barriers to getting the job done.
My campaign has the support of our Prime
Minister and as part of a strong team, our
policies are clear (rates restraint, infrastructure
prioritisation, transport transformation,
engagement improvement and environmental
restoration) and we have the capacity to
accomplish what Christchurch has struggled to
achieve over the last decade. If you love your
neighbour, vote for Labour and if you want
something done, from dawn to dusky, vote
McCluskey.
Let’s do this!
Authorised by J McLellan, 6 Braddon Street, Addington, Christchurch.
Peter McDougall Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Papanui Ward
I am a member of Governance NZ, I bring
over 20 years’ experience working in local and
central government.
I live in Elmwood. I am a member of the
Graham Condon Sports Centre. My 9 year old
son has his swimming lessons at GC and we do
most of our regular shopping in the Northlands
Mall.
Christchurch can have and do more.
We don’t have to choose between a new
stadium, spending more on our infrastructure or
investing more in social housing. Christchurch
can have, and deserves, it all!
But to afford it, a major rethink of how our City
Council operates is required.
Rates increases are currently out of control
with no end in sight.
CCC has now reached its debt ceiling.
There hasn’t been the required investment in
infrastructure.
The East and our inner city are an
embarrassment.
Social Housing needs a significant immediate
investment.
It doesn’t have to be like this. However a
major rethink of how our City Council operates
is required.
I believe we can achieve an immediate rates
decrease followed by increases at no more than
the rate of inflation.
We can achieve this by Councillors and
staff working closer together and focusing on
delivering core services more efficiently and
economically.
In particular savings can be made by CCC
reviewing its internal structure with a view to
delivering core services under a different model,
incorporating Citycare back into Council’s
normal business operation and consider a
partial sell down of some of Council’s major
assets.
Christchurch can have and do more.
Authorised by BS Palliser QSM, 20 Gothic Place, Christchurch.
John Stringer Standing for Councillor - Papanui Ward
JOHN STRINGER - Long time PAPANUI
resident was elected to the Papanui-Innes
community board in 2016 and polled the most
total votes in the ward (4926).
He’s an independent advocate for Papanui:
a member of Papanui Rotary; Papanui RSA;
Papanui Club; Papanui Heritage Group;
Papanui Community Networking Group; the
“Neighbourly” forum Lead (Papanui); and
worships at St Paul’s Papanui and Northcity
church.
John was walking the walk, long before
others started to talk. He’s been in Papanui
ward for 50 years.
A masters degree in classics, John has
been active in politics professionally and as
a volunteer for over three decades (NZ and
London). He’s an ex-Beehive press secretary
and a published author (NZ, USA, Australia).
Locally, he was instrumental in having the
small Bridgestone reserve on Langdons Rd
extended to a much larger viable totara native
forest after existing voices said it could not
be planted in trees; a strong advocate for the
refurbishment of Papanui Bush, lost since 1850.
John is married and has 5 adult children and
4 grandchildren.
“My most important election plank is RATES
RESTRAINT. A 15% plus increase in our rates
over the next term is a breach of the social
contract with ratepayers!
“I’m opposed to a CEO $500k salary (it’s
too high) and would have preferred a local
candidate already up to speed on the complex
and unique issues related to Christchurch.
“I oppose chlorination of our water and want
less cycleway spending.
“1.2b current council debt is too high.”

Merav Benaia Standing for Community Board - Papanui Ward
I’m running in this election so that the people
living in our ward will get their roads and
footpaths fixed properly, so we can have the
transport system we need to meet the demands
of an increasing population in a world facing
climate crisis, so that we will have lights at our
local parks for women to feel safe going through
them at nightfall. I’m running so we have
vibrant connected communities that embrace
our differences yet amplify what makes us the
same.
These are things I have learned from talking
to people and asking them what they want to
have. These concerns are shared city wide –
maintenance of roads, footpaths and parks,
continued chlorination of our drinking water,
lack of public transport, traffic safety and traffic
volumes.
As elected member I will continue doing that;
asking people what they want and allowing
those voices to be heard.
I will bring a variety of experience to this
role. I emigrated from Israel to NZ 15 years
ago. I have a degree in Political Science and
International Relations. My husband and I are
owners of a small business. I’m also a mother of
two teenage boys.
Politics is about making a difference in
people’s lives. Local body politics is about
making a difference in our community, street,
neighbourhood, city and region.
I’m running in these elections because I want
to know I did everything I can to make this city a
place my children will choose to live in.

2019 LoCAL ELECtionS - meet your candidates
Simon Britten Standing for Community Board - Papanui Ward
Paid Advertising Feature
I run the Think Papanui community
engagement initiative, and live in Redwood with
my wife Andrea and three children. Since 2011
I have worked at Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, a youth
and community development organisation with
a long history in Papanui.
Previously I worked for Tait Communications
in marketing management, and have
volunteered with the Papanui Youth
Development Trust. I have served on boards
including the Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust,
Pillars, and the Casebrook Intermediate School
Board of Trustees (two years as chair). I am
a Vodafone Foundation World of Difference
recipient, which recognised my work on a
transitional youth employment project. I have
completed two Canterbury University courses
for leaders in the community sector, and
participated in local community leadership
forums.
I offer our community: independent
representation; a track record running Think
Papanui; local knowledge, and experience in
community governance.
I value a connected community that cares
for all of its members, and I am passionate
about contributing to Papanui. I’ve been running
Think Papanui for three years now, and in
that time have read the agenda and minutes
for every meeting of our Community Board.
I really appreciate the positive impact our
Board makes, and would love the opportunity
to contribute as a Board member - please
support me with your vote. If you’d like to know
more about my background and my policies,
or would like to contact me, please take a look
at www.simonbritten.com or facebook.com/
SimonBritten.ThinkPapanui.
Authorised by Simon Britten, 33 Barnes Road, Redwood.
Lindon Boyce Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Innes Ward
I am part of the Coalition of Independent
Candidates supported by Darrell Park.
Our policies may not all be the same but we
do agree on one thing - our city is broken and
something has to change, the only person who
can this is YOU with your vote.
The most important agenda we all agree on
is that the Council is so badly managed that
our basic core services, roads, water supplies,
waste and general maintenance have been
neglected for years in favour of local Councillor
sponsored vanity projects including over
engineered cycle lanes, statues, artworks and
the complete mess that is our “Accessible City”
- all paid for by unaffordable rates increases.
These issues have affected us all through
higher rents, increased housing costs and
business expenses.
Our Council has to be more efficient and
less bureaucratic, return to prioritising the
basic needs and not wants which can only be
accomplished with the right team and people
running our city.
I was born and bred in St Albans. I attended
Mairehau Kindy and Primary and swam at
Edgeware pool for years - this is my home. The
only reason I am standing for Councillor now is
due to the lack of representation in the matters
important to our city and community,
I will personally represent you with your help.
I have over 35 years experience building
roads and repairing this same infrastructure. I
have also worked within CCC as a Contractor
for many years, I know many of its weaknesses
and how these can be fixed. As a small
business owner I know of the daily struggle just
to survive some days.
I don’t have an answer to climate change and
other issues currently posted, these are not my
strengths so I am not going to pretend to know
otherwise, I am not a politician or politically
motivated. I want whats best for our city.
A vote for me is one for all of us, we can not
continue the same way we have been.
Authorised by Lindon Boyce, 296 Papanui Road, Christchurch.
Cam Parsonson Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Innes Ward
I ran for council because people keep telling
me that civic resources just aren’t getting
returned to the Innes ward.
I make projects happen, developing projects
in aquaculture, hospitality, retail, construction
and others. I am an entrepreneur, with a
masters in science from Canterbury University.
I also hold an LBP as a licenced builder. I have
also been employed as a mechanic , autoelectrician
and as a food technologist.
I have academic skills that are of value
in delivering good governance in our local
community. As a facilitator, mediator and
project leader I understand how to activate
and rise up community to complete projects
and get results. Over the past two years I’ve
developed an aquaculture business and gained
a ‘transitional facility operator’ license from MPI
which involved navigating complex biosecurity
legislation.
Right now the Innes ward needs leadership
and governance that is focused on returning
more civic assets to our area to enhance the
amenity of our area and protect property values
now and into the future.
People consider me a ‘problem solver’ as I
am often called upon to resolve complex issues
and applying new technology to existing “dumb”
infrastructure is a focus. I am skilled in finding
new uses for old resources.
A vote for me is a vote for practical common
sense on council with a proven can do attitude
and considerable general and scientific
knowledge.
Authorised by C.Parsonson, 123 Joy Street, Christchurch.
Holly Chappell-Eason Standing for Community Board - Innes Ward
As a proud 5th generation Cantabrian I’m
driven to make a difference in our city. The
opportunity to help make our community vibrant,
active and safe is an exciting prospect.
A strong community board should embrace
diversity, sports, family, culture, public spaces
and community groups. We need chlorine-free
water and safe streets; a balance of pedestrians
and cars, and functioning public spaces. We are
a diverse and thriving community. We should be
celebrating all of the different passions we have
- what’s important to us. Let’s make Papanui-
Innes ward a place we are proud to call home.
My background in the arts, leadership and
education means my greatest skill is listening.
I will listen to what our community needs, I will
always find a solution- creative problem solving
is key. I love to work with groups and activate
young people in particular to take ownership
of the future of our city. My passion, drive and
compassion will be an asset to the governance
of our area.
After living and working all over New Zealand
it felt exciting and necessary to move home to
Saint Albans, to start my family here, to be an
active part of the rebuild. Now I want to take
the next step; to have a hand in guiding our
community and eventually our city. To be the
voice of our community would be an absolute
honour for me.
Make sure your vote counts - a vote for Holly
Chappell-Eason is a vote for you and your
family’s future.

Ali Jones Standing for Community Board re-election - Papanui-Innes Ward
In the last six years and especially the last
three, it is clear there is still plenty of work to
do in the Innes Ward. With the experience,
relationships and knowledge I have from the
working on the Papanui Innes Community
Board for the last six years, I can hit the
ground running.
For example, the Northern Corridor opens
next year and there are significant roading
projects that go with that; the roading renewal
plans for Innes, traffic flow and congestion,
safety around shops and schools - I have been
living and breathing this as a community board
member (board chair from 2016-2019) and city
councillor (2013-2016) so I am up to speed.
If you re-elect me, you’ll be getting a real
advocate for communities and people, honesty,
transparency and a very hard worker. I don’t
play games and am a straight shooter.
As the Innes area has had much invested
from an infrastructure perspective (the Dudley
diversion, Christchurch Northern Corridor and
cycleways for example), the money spent
in our ward has been significant but it has
generally not been on community facilities and
improving amenity – we must continue to fight
for equity in our ward so that we can have the
same facilities other parts of the city enjoy.
Understanding how the Long Term Plan
(City Council 10 year budgets) work is
essential to putting our case – I totally get
that and will do exactly that, if re-elected to
the Papanui Innes Community Board, as your
Innes representative.
I am standing as an independent candidate
as I will not make decisions based on anyone
else’s philosophy or party line. Party politics
should stay in Wellington and do not have a
place in local government. We have a unique
environment in Christchurch and I don’t believe
our future should be held hostage for political
gain.

Aaron Keown Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Harewood Ward
Paid Advertising Feature
I am Aaron Keown, your councillor for the
Harewood ward, and I represent you on the
CDHB. I am proud to say I’m the chair of the
CCC Disabilities Working Group. I am married
with three children and we live here in the ward.
I also own a small business that employs a
handful of people and helps with growing the
Event & Tourism industry in Christchurch.
I have met many of you in my time as an
elected member as I’m always contactable and
I do my best to get good outcomes for our ward
and the hard working rate payers that live here.
My voting record shows I’ve been true to my
word on a number of issues (traffic lights, rates,
chlorine) and will speak up when something
isn’t right. I’m outcome focused and constantly
look for the best value for your money.
The next three years requires a council
that is going to be focused on the big issues.
Firstly we have to keep rates down and I have
not supported the recent huge increases. We
have to fix our roads and get them back to pre
quake quality within the next three years, not
the planned 30 years. Finally we have to make
sure the Christchurch economy is in a strong
position to deliver a lifestyle we can aspire to for
all residents.
I have always tried to be available to the
residents of Harewood so if you ever have

Jason Middlemiss Standing for Community Board - Harewood Ward
As a new father, I am stepping up to do my
bit helping North West Christchurch to stay a
great place for families to grow. My parents
taught me when you play sports or participate
in community groups, when you’re older it’s
your turn to give back.
I am running in Harewood because I love
our neighbourhood and want to give back so
my kid’s generation has the same opportunities
we have living here. That requires a
strong voice that works well with others to
solve infrastructure issues, improve park
maintenance and address traffic issues.
We’ve got some challenges to address
in the next few years like how we revitalise
Bishopdale Mall, deal safely with increased
traffic flows through Sawyers Arms and
Harewood Road. Along with ensuring our parks
and reserves like Styx Mill and the Groynes
are continuing to be well looked after for our
families to enjoy for years to come.
Using my experience as a Chartered
Accountant and perspective gained as a new
parent, I offer you a representative that is
competent and invested in the best outcomes
for our community because my family is
engaged in it on a daily basis. I’m always
available to hear your concerns and feedback.
Please contact me anytime at
jason@jasonmiddlemiss.co.nz and
021-257-0433. Vote Jason Middlemiss
for Community Board.

Sam MacDonald Standing for Councillor - Waimairi Ward
Paid Advertising Feature
Does our community get value for money
from the $27 million in rates we pay each
year? Our roads, parks and water supply need
improving, and we cannot afford more rate
rises.
As the Chairman of our local Community
Board, I enjoy working on everyday issues and
local projects. But the big problems we face
– continuous rate rises, ballooning debt and
deferred maintenance – are what I hear most
about, and those problems can only be solved
from the Council table.
I am the only Council candidate running in the
Waimairi Ward who lives and pays rates in our
Ward, I understand our local issues.
My Community Board experience here in
the Waimairi Ward and work as a Chartered
Accountant has given me both the local
knowledge and professional skills to get better
value for your ratepayer funds. I am asking for
your vote to be your Councillor. As always, feel
free to contact me at any time –
sam@sammacdonald.co.nz or 027 333 9215.
It’s time to put an Accountant at the Council
table, vote Sam MacDonald.

Shirish Paranjape Standing for Community Board - Waimairi Ward
Dear Waimairi resident,
Would you vote for someone residing in
Auckland to be the Mayor of Christchurch? Of
course not! The same applies for electing your
Waimairi Community Board member.
I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in
Waimairi ward, and have done for over 17
years. I am seeking re-election as your
Community Board member for Waimairi Ward.
Having completed my first term, I can say I
have certainly enjoyed the role and was able
to make a positive contribution. In particular,
I immensely cherish the people-interaction
aspect which this role entails, as well as being
able to put rate-payers’ money to good use –
for community groups as well as individuals;
and for small and big projects which make
our neighbourhood a better place to live for
everyone.
Over the past weeks, I have walked the
streets of Waimairi ward and met many of you.
If I could not meet you, you would have found
my election flyer near your front door or in your
letter-box.
My sincere promise is that I will be your voice,
your eyes and ears; for any and every matter,
whether Council-related or other. I will work with
the same passion, integrity, transparency and
enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the
past years, and to continue to make a positive
difference in the lives of people around me.
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME as your Waimairi

Aaron Campbell Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna
As an independent candidate for ECan in
Christchurch West- Ōpuna, I’m standing up
for the future of water and our quality of life in
Canterbury.
Cantabrians have been clear – we don’t want
our precious, pure water given away or polluted
with nitrates.
As an independent, I’ve been clear from the
start about what motivates me and what my
goals are:
· I’m a co-founding member of Aotearoa
Water Action, formed to challenge ECan
granting consents in Belfast for water bottling.
· Nitrates in groundwater are a looming
disaster for Christchurch and toxic levels are
being recorded in rural Canterbury. ECan
has enabled irrigation, dairy intensification on
unsuitable soils.
· Last year, I spoke out against the lobbying
of government by Water NZ seeking mandatory/
permanent chlorination and a new water
regulator. The CCC quit Water NZ three weeks
later.
· ECan has overseen falling bus patronage
and funding cuts, despite population growth. We
need an accessible, affordable, zero-emission
network. Everyone benefits when more people
use public transport.
I grew up on a sheep farm so I’m far from
anti-farming. It is the responsibility of ECan to
push for substantive change to the RMA, to
protect our water and soils, the rural economy
and restore biodiversity.
As a company director, community board
member and business mentor I have a solid
background in governance and financial
management.
I’ve spoken out against water bottling,
chlorination, nuisance quarry dust and I have
supported measures reducing congestion,
improving accessibility (disability) and promoting
public transport.
Authorised by A. Campbell, 3 Kilsythe Place, Christchurch.
Megan Hands Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna
As an environmental consultant I have
an intimate understanding of the progress
made and the work to be done to improve our
water quality in Canterbury. As a new mum,
I want our region to be the best place for
young families like my own to live, work and
explore. I have a Bachelor of Environmental
Management and Planning, and qualifications
in Nutrient Management and Agricultural
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. I currently Cochair
the Selwyn Te Waihora Zone Committee
and am a member of the Institute of Directors.
Environment Canterbury needs collaborative
decision makers who use evidence, science
and responsible spending to sustain our
region’s economic growth and protect our
environment. I fundamentally believe that
economic growth and environmental protection
can and must go together and that we should
all be able to enjoy our great outdoors. With
me as your Councillor you have a commitment
to;
1. Ensuring a healthy environment, safe
drinking water and clean air while supporting
our regional economy.
2. Ensuring Biodiversity is protected,
maintained and enhanced.
3. Affordable and accessible public
transport that aids the goal of a Carbon Zero
Christchurch. I am open minded about who is
best placed to manage this.
4. Ensuring your ratepayer money is
invested prudently.
I am a genuinely independent candidate
meaning you will get a Councillor committed
to what is best for our grassroots Canterbury
community and environment with a focus on
ECan’s core business. I need your vote and
would be honoured to be your ECan councillor
for Christchurch West.

Chrys Horn Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna
We must protect and regenerate our precious
water resources and our natural heritage, and
find ways to lessen climate change and deal
with climate disruption.
We must improve public transport and
increase its use around the city.
We need the CCC and ECan to work together
much more constructively than has recently
been the case.
I’m a team player who has worked for many
years on environmental issues with a wide
range of communities. We’ve solved problems
and reached common goals by working together
to make things happen. I’d like to see ECan
working well with communities and with other
councils to progress action on the issues above.
I have a BSc in Botany, A masters in Parks
and Recreation Management and a PhD in
social science. For seven years I worked at
Manaaki Whenua/ Landcare Research as a
social researcher where I worked with science
teams looking at a range of environmental
issues. My work focused on helping
communities to work together to understand
the science, understand their problems and to
develop solutions that were good for them and
good for the local environment. I wanted to work
more directly on these issues that I kept seeing,
so I left, set up my own business and began
working in my own community.
Since the earthquakes, I been working in
community development in the South West of
Christchurch in response to the need that I saw
there.

Craig Pauling Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna
Paid Advertising Feature
Tēnā koutou,
I want to be part of a new Environment
Canterbury that secures better outcomes for
our land and water, and all that call our region
home.
It is achievable if those at the council table
work together, from both rural and urban
communities, to face the challenges we have
and explore land use opportunities that can
regenerate our soil, enhance our water quality,
and help restore our native birds, plants and
fish.
Born and raised in here in Ōtautahi, I care
deeply about our whenua and as a father
I am driven to protect and enhance our
unique natural and cultural heritage for future
generations to enjoy. Having Ngāi Tahu,
Ngāti Mutunga, English, Scottish and Welsh
heritage, I understand the importance of
balancing perspectives.
For the past 20 years, I have been working
in the environmental space with iwi, central
and local government, as well as private
companies to make sure we are making
the best decisions for our people, land and
waterways.
I have a degree in Environmental
Management and post graduate certificates
in Ecology and Social Science. I’m a qualified
RMA hearings commissioner and have been a
member of the Canterbury Water Management
Strategy Christchurch-West Melton Zone and
Regional Committee. I am the current Chair of
the native ecological restoration trust Te Ara
Kākāriki.
It’s time to confront the challenges of climate

Peter Ballantyne Standing for Canterbury District Health Board
Peter has considerable experience in the
health sector having served as Deputy Chair of
the Canterbury District Health Board and Chair
of the West Coast District Health Board.
Peter believes the health board has worked
tirelessly to meet the needs of Cantabrians,
but has been constrained by lack of funding
.Peter considers that he is well placed to
advocate strongly for equitable funding for our
health needs in Canterbury. This, combined
with efficiencies in service, will enable more
funds to be available to meet the increased
demands of health issues such as mental
health, cancer and elective surgery in order to
ensure that our communities get well, stay well
and live well closer to home. Addressing the
increasing needs of our ageing population is
a continuing demand on our health services.
There is also need to remove the capital
charge, and progress the rate of our facility
rebuilds to ensure our people receive timely
and appropriate treatment in modern hospital
facilities. He is very conscious of the safety and
wellbeing of our health workforce which has
been operating under tremendous pressure
since the earthquakes while continuing to
maintain high standards of service.
Peter was previously a partner in the
international consulting firm Deloitte. He
currently serves on the CDHB Quality, Finance,
Audit, and Risk Committee and on the
University of Canterbury Council.
A life long Cantabrian, Peter is a greatgrandson
of John Ballantyne, founder of
Ballantynes Department Store. Peter’s wife
Claire worked as a registered nurse with
the CDHB and his daughter is a Consultant

Lianne Dalziel Christchurch Mayor - Standing for re-election
Re-elect Lianne Dalziel Mayor
“I love Christchurch and am confident about our
future. With my experience and inclusive style
of leadership, we can tackle any challenges that
lie ahead, while seizing every opportunity that
comes our way.”
It is vital we keep the momentum going.
My immediate priorities are:
Water: Investment in our infrastructure will
deliver pure water safely to your home. I
will fight Government-imposed mandatory
chlorination.
Rates: I will bring rates rises down while
ensuring continued infrastructure investment,
and balancing council debt and inflation.
Central City: A vibrant city centre is essential.
Having secured $300m for Christchurch, the
stadium will be a multi-use facility. I will continue
to back the developers leading the way.
Sustainability: I am committed to reducing our
city’s carbon footprint, and helping communities
prepare for the impacts of climate change.
Eastern Alliance: An alliance of contractors will
deliver a fully integrated programme of works
across the east, fixing the roads, footpaths and
pipes and building stopbanks.

John Minto Standing for Christchurch Mayor
I am standing as a KOA (Keep our Assets
Canterbury) candidate for mayor because we
want a future for Christchurch which makes
sense.
The city faces three big challenges: a
climate emergency, a water supply threatened
by contaminants and many people struggling
on poverty incomes without dignity or selfrespect.
Our policies are to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions with free and frequent public
transport; provide a local zone for Canterbury
businesses and co-operatives in the city
centre; rebuild the 400 council rental homes
destroyed in the earthquakes; future-proof
our water supply and develop a plan for
swimmable rivers; rate increases kept to the
rate of inflation and a minimum of the living
wage for all council work.
As well as significantly reducing our
greenhouse gas emissions, fare-free public
transport will create a more cohesive, less
divided city as people mix and mingle on
modern, low-emission buses with free wifi.
It will also save families approximately four
weeks pay per year in transport costs which
will be spent in the local economy giving a
boost to local businesses and co-operatives.
This policy will not increase rates because
it will be paid for from existing government
budgets by rebalancing transport funding away
from new roads in favour of public transport.
These policies will improve our lives while
saving the council money. More details are at

Hydrate to elevate
We all know drinking water is important, but the
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.
With over a quarter of Kiwis
consuming less than two glasses of
water a day and only 5% drinking
more than the recommended eight, the
message obviously hasn’t hit home on
the importance of hydrating our body.
A recent survey conducted by
SodaStream found that Cantabrians
are particularly guilty when it comes to
their water intake.
With 82% drinking less than six
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%
admitting they feel healthier when they
drink more water, something needs to
be done to bridge the gap in terms of
what we know to be true and what we’re
actually doing about it.
This same survey revealed that
although 41% of us limit how many soft
drinks we consume due to our concerns
over sugar content, the same number
of people said tea or coffee is this their
number one drink of choice.
Some people even believe that the
water consumed in their cup of Joe
constitutes part of their water intake.
This is a fallacy.
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as
does alcohol too, it means we need to
drink even more water to compensate.
Not so surprisingly the reason we
don’t drink nearly enough water is that
we simply forget. Now with apps you
can download direct to your smart
phone, there are no more excuses.
Further studies proved that people
who had a SodaStream machine in their
homes were more likely to drink more
water.
In fact, the study showed that people
drank 30% more water.
For those of us who aren’t used to
drinking water like it’s going
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways
to increase the fun factor while still
being healthy.
After
Before
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice
or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive
impact on our health and wellbeing.

Cleansed and cured?
Many common health problems can
all be easily solved with one simple
approach according to a leading New
Zealand Medical Herbalist Brett Elliott.
He found in his clinical practice that
most of his clients have similar common
health complaints and that it all could be
traced back to digestive disorders. Did
you know up to 50% of the population
suffer from common health conditions
like; chronic constipation, acid reflux,
bloating, gas, ulcers, irritable bowel
syndrome, crohn’s disease, coeliac
disease, haemorrhoids, gallstones,
cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,
abdominal weight gain, skin complaints
and many more and can all come back to
a poor digestive system.
He wanted to find a simple solution
everyone could use to support their
bodies natural healing without the side
effects of pharmaceutical medications
that often only ease or cover the
symptoms without healing as well as
often having many side effects. Brett
knew everything in the body depends on
the digestive system working properly
and so went about developing “The
Ultimate Herbal Detox Body Cleanse
Program” a simple to use two week
program. It not only supports the whole
digestive system but also helps cleanse
the entire body of toxins and parasites.
The program contains four different
all herb formulas all in capsule form
that need to be taken twice daily. These
capsules can be blended into a smoothie
if you prefer. Colon-aid is designed to
support a healthy bowel movement,
increases the secretion of gastric
juices and bile and promote appetite
and digestion. Digez-aid soothes and
stimulates healthy
digestion and
absorption of
vital nutrients.
Sym-lax is a
bulking fibre to
cleanse and heal
the intestines
and bowels. It
also makes you
feel less hungry.
Liva-food is the
final nutrient
rich formula to
support a healthy
liver function.
It supports
detoxing the
body of toxins
and heavy
metals.
The program supports the bodies’
organs to do their job. The formulas are
New Zealand made and contain a total
of 24 high potency herbs making it quite
possibly the most comprehensive “do
it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse
program in the world. Brett has refined
the formula over 20 years and has now
sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He
regularly receives incredible feedback
from users with many re-doing the
program once or twice yearly.
With toxic overload and many
diseases sky-rockerting now is the
time to make a positive change by
cleansing, nourishing and helping build
your body to a better health.
The Ultimate Herbal Detox and
further information is available
from the Natural Health Advisers
and Medical Herbalists at Marshall’s

Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.
