‘Look on the bright side’ –
advice from 100-year-old
• By Bea Gooding
A MORNING tea filled with
hot drinks, cake and Zoom calls
marked Averil Warren’s 100th
birthday at Woodcote Retirement
Village on July 26.
But it was an occasion tinged
with sadness, as the Covid-19
travel restrictions prevented her two
daughters, who live in Australia,
from attending.
Turning 100-years-old was just
another day for Mrs Warren.
“It’s no different from yesterday,
or the day before that,” she said.
She believed “good behaviour”
and the occasional brandy or dry
ginger ale was what might have
contributed to her long life.
Although she “loved a good
party,” she was disappointed her
daughters, Judy and Kay were not
able to be there.
However, her nieces, nephews and
other relatives travelled far and wide
from across the country to celebrate
with the birthday girl.
“I was disappointed, but I understand
that it’s something I have to
put up with,” she said.
“But I’m very lucky to be in a
place like this where I’m well looked
after.”
Mrs Warren was born in Port
Chalmers, Dunedin, and grew up in
Otago. • Turn to page 4
MILESTONE: Averil Warren’s marriage to Richard Warren was the “happiest” day of her life – one of many memories she
reflected on during her 100th birthday last month.

Police crack down on student drivers

“I fully support what they

the initiative.”

said high school students
are often not on their full

He said, for about the next
month, police will be checking

SAFETY: Police are patrolling around Canterbury high schools to make sure
students are abiding by the conditions of their driver licences.
If students are found to be
breaching their driver licence
conditions for the first time,
police will give them the option
of attending a seminar
encouraging them to complete
the next stage of driver licence
training.
Said Cottam: “We’re
working with those kids and
giving out some education,
running some seminars with
partners such as ACC and
fire and encouraging them
[students] to go forward and
get the next stage of their
licences.
“We believe education and
changing behaviours is far
better than straight out enforcement,”
he said.
Said Holstein: “I love the
approach of, sort of, approaching
people, reminding [them].
It wasn’t about just imposing
penalties all the time, it was
about educating and reminding
and I think that was a
really good thing to do.”

Turning to art
in tough times
• From page 1
Her mother died when she was
seven-years-old, therefore she had
to move in with her grandparents
until her teenage years.
She eventually relocated to Wellington
and worked at the James
Smiths Department Store for 13
years as a retail assistant, both in
the city and at the Porirua branch.
“I loved it, and I still keep in
touch with one or two of the girls
who used to work there,” she said.
She described her marriage to
Richard Warren as the “happiest”
day of her life.
But when she was 36-years-old,
she faced a significant hardship
when her son died due to struggles
with asthma.
Turning to art was what
brightened up her day and got her
through the toughest of times.
“I love art – I’m a very arty
person. I do paintings and I love
music,” she said.
As Covid-19 continued to claim
more jobs and cause financial
uncertainty, she reminded others
of their resilience and encouraged
them to stay positive in spite of the
circumstances.
“Make the most you can in life
and look on the bright side as
much as you can,” she said.
“Life just goes on.”
Street name expert honoured
• By Louis Day
AFTER SPENDING the
majority of his 46-year career at
the city council overseeing the
naming of roads, Bob Pritchard
has had one named after him.
The retired subdivision officer
was unaware the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board had approved the name of
a road in Halswell as Pritchards
Way when approached by the
Western News.
“When my wife told me, I
must admit I had a tear or two,”
he said.
“It is the opposite side of the
coin kind of because I was normally
doing the reports to get the
names approved,” he said.
Pritchards Way will now
become the official name of
one of the roads comprising the
Country Downs subdivision off
Quiafes Rd.
Pritchard, a former subdivision
officer who retired in 2017,
first started at the council in
1970 when wind-up machines
were used to calculate areas for
subdivisions and a typing pool
produced council letters.
In his career, he oversaw thousands
of new road names where
he would make recommendations
to local community boards
on whether a proposed street
SIGN SCIENTIST: Bob Pritchard holds the mock road sign he was given after retiring
from city council after more than four decades there. An official sign in his name is set
to be put in place in Halswell.
name met the city council’s
criteria.
He also helped come up with
ideas for hundreds of new street
names, sometimes turning to
historic records or reference
books about flowers or New Zealand
rivers for inspiration.
His job sparked a personal
interest in the stories and history
behind street names which has
carried through into his retirement.
To this day he is continuing
to supply information to the
Christchurch City Libraries,
which keeps a searchable
database recording the history
behind street names.
He discovered that Kitchener’s
Knoll in Halswell was the spot
where British Field Marshall
Lord Kitchener, mounted on
horseback, surveyed local troops
when he visited the city in 1910.
He still has a “multitude” of
books and personal records on
the history behind the names of
streets across the city and Banks
Peninsula.

Park and ride idea
mooted from
south-west to city
Do you snore?
Always tired?
• By Louis Day

A FACILITY which would
allow residents of the
south-west to leave their
vehicles and then take
public transport from there
into the central city could
be a future possibility.
Halswell Ward city
councillor Anne Galloway
has asked city council staff
to investigate the viability
of a “park and ride” facility
in the vicinity of Halswell
Rd.
She said this would
effectively give residents
the ability to park their
vehicles at a location and
take public transport into
the central city from the
same place.
“This is about creating a
public transport network
that works for people. It is
about our goals of getting
people out of cars and on
public transport,” she said.
“With what we are doing
along Lincoln Rd with pro-
Anne Galloway
viding bus priority lanes
which will cut travel times
for people using the bus,
they will be able to move
quickly down the road
without getting caught in
traffic.”
The city council is planning
to install bus priority
lanes down Lincoln Rd and
also Moorhouse Ave. The
project is expected to cost
$4 million in total.
City council head of
transport Richard Osborne
said introducing the peak
hour bus lanes would
reduce the average bus trip
by six-and-a-half minutes.
“That should make going
by bus a more attractive
option for people. The
south-west of Christchurch
is growing fast, with 35,000
people expected to move
into that area over the next
30 years,” he said.
Galloway said getting
more people on to public
transport also aligned with
the council’s goal for the
city to be carbon neutral
by 2045.
“Getting people out
of cars and on to public
transport would make a
significant difference.”
In the 2016/2017 financial
year, Christchurch
emitted an estimated
2,485,335 gross tonnes in
carbon emissions.
Transportation was
the largest contributor
to the city’s emissions,
accounting for 53 per cent.
You may be at risk of sleep apnoea.
Wilsons Barrington Pharmacy
are making a difference to
their community by offering a
game changing sleep apnoea
service to reach the 80% of
undiagnosed obstructive sleep
apnoea (OSA) sufferers in
New Zealand.
There are a number of symptoms
that could be a sign of OSA,
including choking or gasping
for air at night, loud persistent
snoring, frequent visits to the
bathroom & waking up tired.
Left untreated these can lead
to long term health
consequences such as Type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure,
obesity and depression.
Fortunately it is now easy to get
diagnosed for OSA with Wilsons’
Pharmacy Sleep Services program.
People can now simply walk into
their pharmacy and get tested for
OSA straight away.
The overnight home sleep test
allows a person to sleep in the
comfort of their own bed. No doctor
referral is required. The results of
the home sleep test are assessed
by a sleep physician and provided
7-10 days later. If a person’s results
show they have OSA they can begin
a 4 week trial of CPAP therapy.
If you think you’re at risk of sleep
apnoea contact Wilsons Barrington
Pharmacy today to book a home
sleep test.

Students caring for the environment
• By Bea Gooding
PAPER BUSINESS cards may
be a thing of the past thanks to
an innovative group of young
enterprise students.
Businesses can now share their
contact details electronically by
tapping their “STAP Card” onto
the recipient’s phone, which also
produced links to a website or
social media.
Cashmere High School year
12 students Jayden Rosanowski,
Felix Strahl and Emilia Dybka
recognised the need for a sustainable
option after learning
that six million trees were cut
down each year to produce business
cards.
“We were looking to be innovative
in some way, then we
thought about how [paper] business
cards are a waste of time
and take up too much space,”
said Felix, of St Martins.
“Instead of carrying around
thousands of business cards,
they can now just have one for
each for their employees.”
Compatible with all phones,
each card contained an electronic
chip or QR code that the
students programmed themselves
and worked in a similar
fashion to payWave.
For now, the cards were made
INNOVATIVE: Emilia Dybka, Felix Strahl, Jayden Rosanowski and business studies teacher

of plastic, but the team aimed to
produce a biodegradable plastic
alternative in the future.
Felix said the innovation,
which was a first in NZ, would
impact the future of business
and how people operated as it cut
costs, was less time consuming
and had fewer adverse effects on
the environment.
“Eighty-eight per cent of all
business cards are thrown away
within a week,” said Jayden, of
Halswell.
The young entrepreneurs have
received more than 30 orders
since their online shop was
launched.
It also caught the interest
of other local business card
companies who have considered
purchasing the cards in bulk.
Said Felix: “People love it,
we’ve received messages from
people who are really happy with
their purchase. We’ve been told
it’s made things a whole lot easier
for them.”
In response to the negative
environmental impact of paper
business cards, they teamed up
with non-profit organisation
One Tree Planted.
For every card sold, $2 was donated
to the organisation which
will go towards the planting of a
new tree at locations across the
globe.
The venture was part of the
Young Enterprise Scheme which
has been rolled out into schools’
business studies programmes.
They were hoping to continue
the project next year.
“All of us have a passion
for business, it’s been a great
kick-start towards our careers in
the business world.”

SENIOR LIVING
Amazing health miracles
from the silkworm
Serrapeptase an enzyme produced in
silkworms may become one of the most
widely used natural health solutions
for its ability to replace the majority of
anti-inflammatory drugs and bypass
operations. It is nature’s answer to pain,
chronic inflammation and clogged
arteries. Enzymes are essential for
life. Constantly working to build and
regenerate the body, they help digest
food, break down toxins and cleanse
the blood, in addition to thousands of
other functions. A lack of enzymes in the
body leads to food intolerances, allergies,
digestive issues, disease and poor health.
Studies show an average 70-year old has
only 20 percent of the enzymes found in
the body of a 20-year old.
Serrapeptase is a natural antiinflammatory,
which can clean, clear and
reduce inflammation while dissolving
non-living tissue including blood clots,
cysts, arterial plaque and mucus. One of
its major benefits is its ability to reduce
pain.
The serrapeptase enzyme was first found
in the intestine of the silkworm in the late
1960’s. The silkworm uses it to dissolve the
hard cocoon, allowing the moth to escape
as well as to digest the tough mulberry
leaves it feeds on. Serrapeptase can now be
produced commercially by a fermentation
process of the microorganism Serriata
E15. It is prescribed by doctors across
Europe and Asia.
Clinical studies over the last 40 years
have shown serrapeptase to have
remarkable benefits in a vast range of
health conditions including; blocked
arteries, cardiovascular, arthritis,
asthma, lung conditions, pain, tumors,
autoimmune disease and many more.
In Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically
researched serrapeptase and found it
could clear blocked arteries and prevent
the need for bypass operations. U.K.
pharmacist Dennis Gore talked on BBC
radio about the dramatic results he has
had with serrapeptase. One case was a
man in his 60’s who had been a heavy
smoker, was wheeled into his pharmacy.
He was breathless due to emphysema
and COPD and could hardly talk. He
was on antibiotics, oxygen and getting
bad infections. Dennis prescribed him
serrapeptase and three weeks later the
man walked into his pharmacy, with no
wheelchair and no breathlessness and said
to Dennis he was no longer on antibiotics,
nor oxygen cylinders and was feeling
great.
Serrapeptase has been shown to be
very safe supplement and according
to researchers can be used with most
medications. However let your doctor
know as medications may need reducing
or stopping as the need for them reduces.
Serrapeptase and more information
is available from the natural health
advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural
Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, Phone: (03) 388-5757.

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
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier
under the suspended wooden floor of your
home, even when there is no crawl space.
• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961
• Members of the Insulation Association of
New Zealand.
• We offer a free measure and quote in the
Canterbury region with no obligations.
• Assessments can be made in all other
regions by arrangement.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote
and complimentary appraisal of your
underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.
Phone 03 376 4608, 0508FOAMCO or www.

Zone Control for your
ducted heat pump
Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient
way to heat (or cool) your home. The
air from the heat pump is ducted to
several rooms or zones in your house.
Using a zone control system makes your
ducted heat pump even more efficient, by
specifying the amount of heat required
in each area, so not wasting energy to
overheat or overcool any room.
The AirTouch4 zone control system
from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump
air zoning to a whole new level of comfort
and energy efficiency.
AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone
Control
Have total control of your comfort zone:
AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different
level of conditioned air in the room they
are in.
Save money on the power
bill, without compromising on
comfort, by only running the
heating or cooling where you
need it with Smart Zoning.
Plus with runtime tracking,
energy and airflow management
technology, you can enjoy greater
efficiency and savings from your
family’s ducted heat pump.
60
The AirTouch4 can
%
also
connect to Google Home and
Amazon Alexa.
Not every home is designed
equal. Not every room is either.
Temperatures can often fluctuate from
one room to the next because of sunlight,
room activity or other factors.
With AirTouch4’s Individual
Temperature Control Technology (ITC),
the AirTouch monitors temperatures
and smartly adjusts airflow as needed
around your home with the aid of multiple
wireless temperature sensors instead of a
single sensor in one location. When some
rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch
will adjust airflow to maintain your desired
temperature, without wasting conditioned
air on rooms already comfortable.
