Residents
upset with
decision to
move social
housing into
quiet street
• By Bea Gooding
RESIDENTS SAY they have been
failed in their bid to stop social
housing going ahead on their
quiet street.
The Christchurch Methodist
Mission’s plan to move 16 temporary
units from Linwood Park a
site in Guild St, Richmond, was
granted by a city council hearings
panel last week.
Residents cannot appeal the
decision because the mission’s
resource consent application was
non-notifiable, which means the
public can’t make submissions
on it.
The units were used at
Linwood Park for temporary
housing after the 2011 earthquakes.
Guild St resident Mike
Williams felt the process failed
his community especially for
those who have spent thousands
of dollars complying with the city
council’s rules and regulations
for the area.
“Many in the community
feel the same and have
legitimate concerns about this
proposal.

Veterinary practice
A Kidney Toxicity Survivor
Over the next 2 months, I thought id write
about two cases that required much input
and care from our entire team of experts. We
treat hundreds of sick patients weekly and
many of them spend weeks in our hospital
being nursed back to full health.
We have so many
special long term
patients that we all
connect with on
different levels but I
cant write them all up
here. We don’t have
favourites because
we love and want to
treat all the animals
that walk through our
doors. I chose these
two patients as they
highlight diseases we commonly see and
treat here and they also show incredible
owner commitment and positivity towards
the whole process. It has to be a team
approach and great communication is key.
I know we have the right team of people,
hospital setup and equipment to do our best
job possible but clients need to be onboard
for, at times, a long, complicated, emotional
journey. You can absolutely guarantee
though we will always do our BEST for your
pet.
TORIN is a young Birman who presented
suddenly unwell 3 months ago - lethargic,
losing weight, vomiting and just not himself.
After a series of testing we deemed Torin
was suffering from
Acute Kidney Failure
due to a suspected
toxicity (possibly
Lilies). His creatinine
kidney enzyme level
was through the roof
, he was dehydrated
and we suspected
a bacterial UTI. He
was immediately
admitted for intensive
care treatment with
intravenous fluids
and supportive care
medications. He spent 2 weeks as a hospital
inpatient receiving Intravenous fluids, food
and medications were fed to him through
a feeding tube in his neck and every day
his devoted owners visited and spent time
cuddling, grooming him and nursing him
back to good health. Once home he was
continually checked many times a week to
make sure he wasn’t deteriorating. Torin
was an incredibly tolerant and an easy to
handle patient which was lucky as he was
jabbed with needles constantly, had oral
medications daily and had every test possible
including radiographs and ultrasounds.
In the end, Torin survived his kidney
failure attack. When we was very unwell
his creatinine reading was greater than
1202umol/L - now
it is normal at
187umol/L. Many
patients wouldn’t
recover from this.
He had incredibly
special owners who
completely trusted
and listened to our
recommendations
and supported us
in his recovery by
visiting often, which was what Torin needed.
Kim encouraged him to eat one bikkie at a
time from her phone and he got to wander
around a room not being caged all day.
Our hospital nursing team was absolutely
A1 fantastic at catering for all his needs,
respecting him, treating him gently and
spending lots of time giving him cuddles and
grooms. We were honest with Torin’s owners
about his prognosis and the time required
for him to start showing improvement. In
this case I believe the feeding tube was the
game changer as we could deliver all his
medications and nutritional requirements
without going near his
mouth and he could be
successfully managed at
home, with the people he
loved and trusted.
We all get super excited
when we get to catch
up with Torin. He’s like a
member of the family and
we all feel proud that we
played a part in getting
him home. Without fail he
urinates in my room on
arrival- not sure what this means exactly, but
then I get cuddles so I’m taking that as a win.

Nurse hopes to inspire others
• From page 1
That is why at 28-yearsold,
the former Villa Maria
College student has travelled
to Uganda three times
to make a difference to the
health of impoverished
families.
On Sunday she returned
to the city after six weeks
of working in remote villages
and areas of the slums
around Kampala – the
capital of Uganda.
“What I do here is
certainly very different to
what I do when working in
a hospital in a first world
country,” Miss Smit said.
On days when she travels
around Kampala with a
local doctor to provide
medical treatment and testing
for HIV and malaria,
she will see 100 patients in
a few hours.
Twice a week, she would
work alongside a charity
providing wound care and
treatment to a small number
of more than 10,000 children
living on the streets.
“There are many prevalent
health problems here
that I had never dealt with
at home, due to the living
conditions here of a large
number of the population,”
Miss Smit said.
Nicole Smit
But Miss Smit, and her
colleagues have managed
to make a difference.
Within a one-month
period, she delivered more
than 1500 preventative
de-worming tablets to
local school children to
minimise the risk of children
contracting a worm
infection.
Another major highlight
was helping to build a
medical centre in a small
village on the outskirts of
Kampala with three other
volunteers.
Miss Smit said one of the
biggest things she has taken
away from her experience
overseas is what is taken
for granted at home taught
by families and at schools
from a young age, which do
not have the same significance
here.
She said two examples of
this is the importance of
hand-washing and drinking
clean water each day to
stay hydrated.
“I don’t remember
specifically being taught
either of these things, it was
just part of growing up for
everyone around me,” Miss
Smit said.
She first travelled to
Uganda in 2017 after studying
a Bachelor of Nursing
and working as a registered
nurse for nearly three years
in the South Island Bone
Marrow Transplant Unit at
Christchurch Hospital.
Growing up, Miss
Smit never thought she
would one day become a
registered nurse but now
could not imagine doing
anything else.
In 2018, she was the first
recipient of the Villa Maria
Past Pupil’s Association
Mercy Grant and was
named one of Zonta International’s
100 Women of
Achievement last year.
“These two privileges
mean so much to me
because my dream is
that I might inspire even
one person to make their
small mark on the world,
which in turn could mean
the absolute world to one
person.”

Thousands raised for
Mairehau bike track
• By Bea Gooding
A SCHOOL fair has exceeded
organisers’ expectations after
raising nearly $30,000 towards
the construction of the Mairehau
bike track.
St Francis of Assisi Catholic
School hosted the family fun extravaganza
in early March to raise
funds for the bike track that will
be constructed on the school’s
grounds.
Fair organiser Heidi-Marie Parsonson
said it was a good chance
for the “fairly new” school to
work together on a large project.
“We were blown away by how
many people from our local community
joined us on the day. Our
children learned the importance
of serving and offering gifts to
help our community,” she said.
“We’re delighted because the
aim of the fair was to have a family
fun day and it was a chance to
work together. We believe that we
achieved in both of those areas.”
Nearly $2000 worth of raffle
prizes were up for grabs on the
day. Families were treated to a
variety of activities ranging from
soft archery, vintage car rides and
giant Twister, to international
cuisine and live entertainment.
The Mairehau bike track is a
community project and will be
open to all children in the area.
Local children also had a hand
in the track’s design with the
help of Kamo Marsh Landscape
Architects.
Described as a valuable resource
for Mairehau, the project
has encountered many setbacks
due to a lack of funding. But the
community were still determined
to put in the hard work and continue
fundraising and preparing
the area.
Said Mrs Parsonson: “We look
forward to sharing our bike track
which will be built using the
proceeds from the fair.
“It will benefit our community

providing a free, out-of-school
time activity which has been designed
to reflect the uniqueness
of Canterbury’s landscapes.”
The track’s design is a nod
towards Christchurch’s iconic
landscapes and is represented
throughout different elements
of the track such as a ‘Halswell
Quarry’ ramp area for scooters
and skateboards and a ‘Godley
Head/Crater Rim’ cycle track.
Pump track
delayed
• By Bea Gooding
INSTALLATION of the new
temporary pump track destined
for Shirley Community Reserve
has been delayed a second
time amid challenges with
international shipping.
Originally, the Shirley Pump
Track was to be installed by the
end of January, but delays with
the arrival of the pump track
sections impacted the project’s
timeline.
The city council hopes to open
the track by mid-April.
Said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge: “Challenges
with shipping have been due to
the track taking longer to get
onto the ship, and also due to the
longer port-clearing timeframes
related to the coronavirus.”
The 48-metre track is suitable
for bikes, skateboards and
scooters and is re-locatable. The
track itself is temporary because
it allows the area to be used for a
number of years while options are
kept open for future uses of the
space.
“We think this project will be
a positive one that encourages
people in the community to use
an under-utilised area,” said Mr
Rutledge.

Regulations getting ‘too hard’
for many kiwi landlords
For thousands of Kiwi’s, buying a rental property, or
even several properties, is seen as the ideal way to build
up funds for retirement, or as a great tool to grow their
overall wealth.
Until recently, many of these landlords/investors (an
estimated 75%) have managed the property themselves
– finding tenants, collecting rent, and taking care of any
maintenance issues, which has served many owners
well over the years and up until recent times has been
relatively simple for those willing to put in the time and
effort.
But, with the raft of new regulations and red tape
being introduced to the rental sector by the government,
the days of landlords managing their own rental
property may be coming to an end. “Managing a rental
property is becoming increasingly difficult for kiwi
landlords, says Barry Ellis, owner of the Ray White
Strowan and Bishopdale and the associated property
management service. Many landlords are opting now to
pass over this responsibility to a well-known and trusted
property manager, mainly due to increased regulation
being difficult for an independent landlord to keep on
top of. I think many landlords have also reflected and
realised that managing a rental property is really an
asset management role, and in order to maximise the
return and manage that asset effectively, it makes sense
to have it done by an expert. As a landlord myself, I had
this realisation a few years ago”
Many landlords have heard about the introduction of
the Healthy Homes standards but not all landlords are
up to date on the extent of the requirements. The first
tranche of the new Healthy Homes Standards, which are
designed to provide drier, warmer homes for tenants,
were introduced on July 1, 2019. They required all rental
properties to have working smoke alarms, ceiling insulation
and floor insulation in houses with sub floors, and a
fixed heater in the living area.
Tenancy agreements had to include a signed statement
that the landlord would comply with the Healthy Homes
Standards by July this year, new and renewed tenancy
agreements will also have to include specific information
about the properties current level of compliance
with the standards.
By July 2021, the requirements become more specific;
all rental properties will need to have one or more fixed
heaters that will heat the main living area to at least 18
degrees C. Properties must be insulated to meet minimum
R-values for insulation; they must be well-ventilated,
including having ducted extractor fans in the kitchen
and bathroom; there must be adequate drainage on the
exterior of the house, and any gaps where draughts can
get through must be closed off.
“There will also be a lot of details, for example, around
the size of rooms and the number of windows to work
out what kind of heater is required, which will make it
hard for many landlords,” Barry says. “There is a lot of
information online, or you can ask a professional property
manager to work all that out for you, saving you
time and stress.”
Another key consideration, which many landlords
aren’t aware of Barry says, is that the Workplace Health
& Safety Act now applies to rental properties. “Owning
rentals is a business undertaking, so as such the landlord
is responsible for health and safety both for the tenants
and any contractors working at the property. But when a
property manager is involved, it becomes their responsibility,”
Barry says.
“Issues like asbestos being found in the ceiling or
methamphetamine contamination can create significant
problems, which a property manager will deal with.
We believe landlords should be more interested in the
yield they will get from their investment, rather than
worrying about any health and safety issues that could
arise. The property manager will ensure their client, the
landlord, remains compliant with all the regulations.”
Barry says Ray White applies particularly high
standards to its property management services, as a
group they manage more than 18,000 properties in New
Zealand.
“Unlike the real estate industry, property management
isn’t regulated, so anyone can set themselves up
as a property manager, even without any experience.
Ray White works at a much higher level of service and
ethics. Plus, we have access to more resources and more
people than most property management companies.”
Ray White has compiled a comprehensive, 55-page
Landlord Information Guide, which includes everything
a landlord needs to know about the regulations, as well
as other relevant advice, and is freely available. To get a
copy you can email rentals.inline@raywhite.com.
Local resident Bill Cranshaw is one of the company’s
property management clients, after first buying his
Casebrook rental property through Ray White Bishopdale.
“They’re a one-stop-shop really,” Bill says. “I
bought the property two and a half years ago through
them, and Mark Davison started managing it straight
away. He knew the market value for the rent, and it
was set accordingly. The first tenants stayed for a year,
then Mark found the new tenants. And he made sure
everything was OK with the property between tenants.
“He carries out regular inspections, takes photos and
sends through a comprehensive report. If there are any
problems with the property, the tenant calls Mark, not
us, and he is available 24/7.”
Mark has recently gone through the Healthy Homes
requirements with Bill, advising him of what needs to be
done.
“What I like about Mark’s service is that it gives us
peace of mind. I know that, hand on heart, he will do
the right thing for that property and the tenants. We
Ray White Strowan & Bishopdale property
management team with owner, Barry Ellis
find him very approachable, and he’s been very good for
us.”
Bill has also recommended Mark to friends, who have
now become his clients as well.
Currently, Christchurch is seeing a huge demand for
rentals, with the average time a property is available for
rent being less than two weeks.
“There are not enough properties available to meet
local demand, and good tenants are missing out,” Barry
says. “The new regulations have seen a lot of rentals
being sold, but with low interest rates and high demand
from renters, people investing in rental property can get
very good yields and good tenants, so we believe now is
a good time to invest in rental property. We’re helping
multiple clients right now assess their financial position
through our sister company Loan Market and then helping
them find the right property, determine the market
value for rent and managing it for them.”
Barry Ellis, Owner at Ray White Bishopdale and
Strowan is offering a free one hour rental review for
Canterbury landlords in March and April. “We’ll do
a market review of your rental, as well as discuss with
you the healthy homes standard and your requirements
and answer any other questions you may have” This
free consultation is simply about educating Canterbury
landlords and investors to make sure they’re prepared,
if they’re comfortable in continuing to manage their
property then that’s no worries, we’ll always be here to
provide support and advice along their journey when
they need us”

New motorway sparks action plan
St Albans
resident
Mark Wilson
discusses
action plans
in response
to the
Christchurch
Northern Corridor issues
SIR KERRY BURKE in The Star,
summed it up well. The St Albans
community is trying to make the
best out of a rotten inheritance.
The Northern Arterial mess we
find ourselves in today was created
decades ago has been rejected
multiple times, yet this outdated
transport project is somehow
just about to be open, with little
to no real concern of the effects
on people downstream.
Let’s be real about this, the
motorway will not relieve
congestion, it will merely create
more of it and in more areas,
whilst entrenching our car dependency.
Christchurch has the
highest per capita percentage of
cars in NZ, far exceeding Auckland,
Wellington and even the
American average.
In a decade where the worlds
view on transportation has moved
on from planning for single-occupant
vehicles the Christchurch
ACTION PLANS: St Albans residents feel concerns have been
largely ignored regarding the downstream effects of the
Christchurch Northern Corridor. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
City Council has not.
Up until this point, the community
has been very motivated
to submit to the city council and
have their say, and they have.
Initially, we thought the city
council listened. They published
submission feedback with statements
such as “three themes
have emerged from the feedback
we (CCC) received.”
1. People not cars,
2. Retaining a sense of community,
3. Safety, particularly for
walkers, cyclists, and school
children.
However, the final Downstream
Effect Management Plan puts cars
first and community last. The
outright dangerous cycle lanes and
footpaths are merely token gestures
with many that don’t comply
with the New Zealand Transport
Agency guidelines.
Intersections have been developed
to allow as many cars as
possible to be funnelled through
St Albans. A seven-lane monster
on Cranford St is an example of
this. Resident’s accessibility to
properties on arterial and local
roads are now dangerous and
severely compromised.
In all honesty, the feedback
from the community has been
ignored, the important decisions
had already been made years
ago, the communities downstream
are just collateral damage.
This is the backdrop to the
last two community meetings we
have held.
Our community is focussed
on solutions not ineffective,
outdated mitigation.
The local community through
the St Albans resident’s association
have been proactive in collaborative
community planning
for many years, we intend to
continue this tradition. The aim
of the most recent meeting was
to get all involved collaboratively.
We also had an expert in
community collaborative planning
speak to us, she showed
a number of examples all over
the world where communities
have responded to the negative
effects of badly managed traffic
planning, from Vancouver to
Bangladesh, Brazil to Tokyo.
Key points taken on board by
the residents were that streets
can be taken back by the community.
At the end of the night
we had three very clear draft
plans, with a growing core group
of people focused on the major
areas of concern:
• PT and other TDM measures
needed to reduce traffic from
the NArT, and local areas
• The unsafe situation for
residents living on Arterials
entering/exiting properties
due to road widening and
footpath narrowing
• Residents inconvenience
from turning restrictions,
making locals rat runners
• Pedestrian and Cycle advocacy
within the community,
on all roads, not just the
Papanui Parallel.
Finally to again respond to Sir
Kerry Burke, yes we are trying
to make the best of this situation
not of our making, but we all
need to think is this acceptable
in an age where we are declaring
climate emergencies left, right
and centre, yet this lemon of a
traffic plan is being left to continue
its destructive path.
• Please contact SARA
community association if you
want to be involved in any of the
action plans or to be put in touch
with your Street Networks.

Northern Christchurch residents
packed the Belfast Rugby Club
last week to have their say at my
public meeting with Environment
Canterbury over an application that
has been made to store 40,000
bales of waste on a site in Blakes
Road, Belfast.
Residents were quick to get in
touch with me after reading in
the media about the application
and told me they were worried
to hear there might be no public
consultation process for the
application but that approval could
potentially be granted within 15
days.
They asked me to help them get
their voices out to Environment
Canterbury.
Working together, we were able to
call a public meeting on Monday, 9
March in the Belfast Rugby Football
Club. I invited ECan to the meeting
to answer residents’ questions and
concerns, and residents and I did
a letterbox drop to advertise the
meeting.
About 200 residents living around
the proposed site turned out for the
meeting to let ECan know that the
community wants the application to
go out for public notification.
I was honoured to represent
National’s Canterbury MPs at
the remembrance service in
Christchurch on Sunday as
we stood together for the first
anniversary of the Christchurch
shootings. In the days after those
tragic events, my children and I
joined our fellow Cantabrians in
leaving flowers and messages at
Hagley Park and we welcomed the
opportunity on Sunday to again
stand together and say that these
acts do not reflect our beliefs as
a nation that supports diversity.
It has been a poignant time for
Cantabrians, with the memorial
service last month commemorating
the ninth anniversary of the
Canterbury earthquakes. These
events have left us united as a
region and a nation.

Amelia breaks national record
SPORT
THE CONVEYER belt of
cycling talent in Canterbury
looks set to continue with
Avonside High School’s Amelia
Sykes.
Amelia, who won national
under-16 titles in 2019 in the
team sprint and team pursuit
led by Lincoln High School’s
Jenna Borthwick last year, has
excelled in her own right at
the national age-group track
championships in Invercargill
last week.
The under-17 rider stepped
up in the 2000m individual
pursuit final and in doing so
broke the national record set
last year by Borthwick, who has
this year progressed to make
the New Zealand team for the
junior world championships.
Qualifying in 2min 30.981sec
and lowered that to 2min
28.220sec to win the final,
half a second under Jenna’s
record.
“Last year I was in the team
sprint with Jenna and learned
from that. This year I had full
confidence and I prepared
well,” she said.
“I was going for that record
and gave it everything. The
TALENT: Avonside High School’s Amelia Sykes broke
the 2000m individual pursuit record at the national
age-group track championships in Invercargill
last two years have been so
phenomenal for me and I’m
looking forward to the races
coming up and hopefully some
more records.”
Amelia said she learned a lot
from the workshops
and racing in the
national track series
last year that she has been
able to put into practice with
her coach this year.
Stedman
on track for
Paralympics
• By Jacob Page
HILLMORTON paralympic
sprinter, William Stedman
has continued his progression
towards the Tokyo Paralympics
with three strong results at
the national track and field
championships at Nga Puna
Wai.
The 20-year-old won the
senior men’s long jump with a
best effort of 5.68m and then
won the 400m in 55.22sec and
the 200m in 25.21sec.
The former Middleton
Grange School student was the
youngest member of the New
Zealand Paralympic team four
years ago at just 16.
Stedman, who suffers from
cerebral palsy, won bronze
medals in the T36 400m and
800m events.
Stedman said in spite of
strong winds, he was happy
with his efforts, particularly in
the long jump.
“That’s the best I’ve gone in
the long jump,” he said.
He said there was more pressure
on him ahead of Tokyo because
he was such an unknown
four years ago but he believes he
is capable of handling the added
scrutiny.
•The Paralympics will be
held from August 25 to
September 6.

Age no barrier for
Burnside tennis group
• By Jacob Page
A GROUP of octogenarians
who have spent more than 440
years combined playing time at
the Burnside Park Tennis Club
have no interest in giving the
game away any time soon.
The 15 men and women are
all aged between 80 and 88 and
are believed to be the oldest
regular tennis playing group of
their kind in Christchurch. They
meet every Tuesday and Thursday
morning all year round.
They have spent a combined
443 years playing at the club.
The group play about 50 other
senior players over the age of 50.
Club spokesperson Allanah
James said the group were an inspiration
to everyone on court.
“I play with them and against
them and they run me round.
“I’ve just retired and I’m in my
early 60s and they’re all just so
inspirational,” she said.
“They are what I want to be
like when I am their age.
“It’s an endorsement for staying
active later in life.
Mrs James said the group
played 90min of tennis but most
of them turned up for a warmup
30min before matches start.
“They are so precise with their
shots, she said. “They know
where to place the ball to make
you run around that’s for sure.
“We felt it was time to celebrate
them for their continued
contribution to our club.”
One of the group, Monica
Devine, is the grandmother of
current big-hitting White Ferns
cricket captain Sophie Devine.
The two oldest are married
couple Peter, 88, and Adrienne
Rowe, 87.
Peter has been playing at the
club for 18 years and Adrienne
has been a club member for 34
years.
The longest playing member
of the over 80s is Ellen Harris
who has been playing at
Burnside for 55 years.

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High
School touch rugby player Luca
Tracey has been selected in the
New Zealand under-16 team to
tour Australia.
The 14-year-old year 11 student,
who lives in Sumner, was part of
the Canterbury under-16 team
which won the national title in
Auckland in January after going
through the tournament undefeated.
Luca is also the CBHS under 15
sevens captain who are the current
South Island champions.
The team will meet for a training
camp in Auckland in July
before playing in the Australian
State Championships on the Sunshine
Coast in September.
“They had selectors at all our
games at nationals but when I
found out I made it, I was quite
surprised given to make it because
I am quite young for the grade.
The playmaker said he took up
the sport socially five years ago
and has progressed through the
ranks ever since.
“I’ve always enjoyed running
fast and since I do track and
field as well, the skills help both
sports,’’ he said.

and 200m champion for his age as
well as the South Island Schools’
100m champion.
He said both sevens and touch
allow him to play a similar style of
game in each code.
“You have to be elusive, think
on your feet and make the right
decisions.”
He said he would continue
training in his own time over the
winter before the first camp to
make sure he was ready to go.

How to protect yourself and others
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus
called coronavirus. There are simple steps you can take to protect you and your family/whānau.
Symptoms of COVID-19
The symptoms of COVID-19 are:
•a cough
•a high temperature (at least 38°C)
•shortness of breath.
These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have COVID-19. The symptoms are
similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu.
However, infections with mild symptoms such as cold-like symptoms or no symptoms
are likely, but it’s not known how common this is.
How to protect yourself and others
•Cough or sneeze into your elbow or by covering your mouth and nose with tissues.
•Put used tissues in the bin or a bag immediately.
•Wash your hands with soap and water often.
•Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
•Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.
•Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs.
•Stay home if you feel unwell and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
NOR’WEST NEWS
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
and wellbeing.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
balance. They teach a movement sequence
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
that stretches the joint in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
HIP PAIN
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated
than surgery. After only one treatment
you should know that it will work for you.
Call them before the end of March and
save $20.00 on that treatment.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door
and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Grape seeds shown to have
remarkable health benefits!
According to researchers grape seeds
may hold the potential to treat and
prevent many devastating disorders.
The seeds have been found to contain
many powerful antioxidant such as
resveratrol, catechins, epicatechins,
proanthocyanadins and anthocyanins
as well as other nutrients that have
been shown to support the natural
healing process and even slow the
aging process.
Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has
been shown to reduce inflammation
and pain, increase cellular energy,
protect protein structures and
increase collagen production. The
powerful antioxidants in GSE can
tone and strengthen the blood
vessels, improve blood flow making
it valuable for circulatory disorders
of all kinds, including varicose veins,
haemorrhoids, hardening of the
arteries and impaired blood flow to
the brain. It is excellent for most skin
conditions because of the increase
of blood flow to the skin tissue thru
allowing more nutrients to the tissue
cells and better waste removal from
the cells. As well as this it supports
collagen production. For these reasons
many people report the skin looks
more healthy, smoother and with
better elasticity when using GSE.
GSE offers a natural alternative
for many people with hypertension
(High Blood Pressure). Higher than
normal blood pressure puts more
stress on organs and can lead to
atherosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries) and therefore increased risk
of heart disease (The heart has to
work harder to supply blood around
the body and may become enlarged
and eventually fail) and strokes.
Recent analysis of 16 randomized
studies on people with elevated blood
pressure found GSE to significantly
lower both systolic and diastolic blood
pressure but had no effect on people
with normal blood pressure. Animal
studies have shown GSE to improve
heart function, reduce damage caused
by heart attacks and prevent the
formation of foam cells that play a role
in the formation of arterial plaque.
A growing number of studies show
that GSE has powerful anticancer
properties in both the prevention and
treatment of many types of cancer.
Studies show arthritis of every type
may be greatly improved by GSE. GSE
also helps protect the body against
damage caused by diabetes while
helping balance blood sugar levels.
Another area GSE is proving highly
beneficial is the brain. It has been
shown to protect brain cells while
stimulating the formation of healthy
new brain cells. It may prove vital in
the treatment of brain disorders like
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
There are numerous studies on
GSE that show it can help support
our good health and prevent many
degenerative diseases. Further
detailed information is available
from the Natural Health Advisers at
Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy,
101 Seaview Road, New Brighton and
PH: 388-5757. They are always happy
to help!
Your Smile is your business card
A smile is one of the first facial features to
catch a person’s eye. How does your smile
stand up? What colour are your teeth? Are
they off colour, tarnished or yellowing? Many
people refrain from smiling because of teeth
discolouration.
Sparklewhite to the rescue. Their whitening
system is backed by satisfied customers,
testimonials, likes and statistics to prove their
simple, one to two time whitening program
accomplishes the goal.
Don’t be embarrassed by your teeth. Everyone
knows the purpose of teeth is to mechanically
break down food items by cutting and
crushing them in order to prepare them to
be swallowed. Your teeth are the first point of
entry for beverages as well.
Are you aware coffee and smoking tarnish and
yellow tooth enamel. However, the two biggest
culprits of yellowing teeth are none-other than
tea and red wine, berries & coloured veges. Go
figure.
Tea & Red Wine stains occur when tannins
in both of them build up in the tooth enamel.
Tannins are organic substances found in
plants. Tannins in tea and wine can lead to
stains on teeth. In fact, some black teas can
even cause more tooth discoloration than even
black coffee!
There is an answer. Teeth whitening, but not
just any teeth whitening system will work. The
kind at the supermarket or the ones which the
pharmacies stock, are not strong enough to
give the quick results consumers are looking
for as they have a restriction on the strength of
peroxide sold over the counter.
Going to the dentist is more expensive,
however, there is a Certified tooth whitening
ADVERTORIAL
specialist in Christchurch, Sparklewhite Teeth,
who offer Cosmetic Teeth Whitening. Anyone
age sixteen and up can have the procedure
done. They also do couples whitening.
Whether a couple or friends, you can have
your session at the same time, in different
rooms of course, and get a discounted rate for
two!
The best part of the success rate of this service
is it only takes one or two times depending
on the assessment. Simple. Then you can
smile with confidence and never have to be
embarrassed by your smile again. Vouchers
available.

HOME & HEATING
Ground moisture barrier
under low sub-floor
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm
and healthy for their families throughout
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects
many of our older properties which suffer
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests have
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise
from the ground and enter a house every day,
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and
musty smells. Moulds can produce various
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and
very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team
understands the problems caused by rising
damp and are there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,
flowable foam concrete under your timber
floored home.
While insulation is important, it has been
recognised that it is dampness that is the real
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes
Standards introduced by the government
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has
a requirement to install ground moisture
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight
moisture in the home.
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation
on the underside of a timber floor can occur
where the floor is suspended over damp
ground and the inside air temperature falls
close to the crawl space air temperature.
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most

ATTACK RISING DAMP
What makes a great
heat transfer system?
There are a number of Heat Transfer
systems on the market. Smooth-Air
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected
components to optimise the system:
They use insulated duct to transfer the
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance
and number of rooms, without being noisy.
The diffusers send the heat to the floor, not to
skim the across the ceilings. All components
are good quality - designed to operate for
years without problems.
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of
options: One to four rooms, with or without
thermostat and with a choice of grilles
and diffusers. HTUs improve energy
efficiency in your house, as you are
using excess heat. They have low power
consumption - only 80watts for the three
room system. Circulating air through
the house also reduces the risk of damp.
You can also choose the HTU version
with downjet diffusers, which throw the
warm air downwards to the floor. These
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to
regulate which room receives the most
warm air.
An average size living room requires
2-4 kw of heating, yet appliances such as
log burners generate heat in the region
of 10 -20kw. This leaves an excess of 8
-16kw of heat which sits at high level
in the heated room, usually above door
level.
Heat transfer units work best where
very hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer
near the ceiling. So heat pumps, which
circulate warm air around the room with
no layering, are not suitable as a heat source
by themselves. However, if you have both
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer
systems with thermostat can work very well:
The heat pump stops operating once the heat
from the fire has heated the room, and the
heat transfer kicks in above this point, once
there is a layer of hot air at the ceiling.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your Heat Transfer, as well as any
other ventilation requirements.
