Traffic
light
funding
brought
forward
• By Louis Day
THE LONG-AWAITED traffic
lights for the controversial
Harewood-Gardiners-Breens Rds
intersection could arrive sooner
than previously anticipated.
In March, city councillors
decided to co-ordinate the installation
of traffic lights at the
intersection with the construction
of the Wings to Wheels Major
Cycleway, with
work on the
cycleway set to
commence in
2026.
However, the
city council
recently decided
while finalising
its budget for
Aaron Keown
the year to bring forward funding
for the project so construction on
the $1.2 million lights can begin
in 2022.
City councillor Aaron Keown,
who has been fighting for the
traffic lights since 2016, said the
decision to bring the process
forward was the “definition of a
no-brainer.”
“To sum it up, about bloody
time,” he said. •Turn to page 5

Police crack down on student drivers

POLICING AROUND west

ROAD UPGRADES
Work has now started to upgrade
the road on Purchas St in
anticipation of the Christchurch
Northern Corridor’s completion.
New stormwater drainage,

upgrades and footpaths will be
constructed to provide safer
access to schools, as well as safer
walking and cycling routes.
The upgrades will be completed
in approximately three weeks.
Meanwhile, safety upgrades at
the Aorangi Rd and Condell Ave
intersection have now started.
Improvements include the
installation of a pedestrian island,
give way signs, line marking and
kerb adjustments. The changes
come after residents raised safety
concerns about a lack of safe
pedestrian crossing opportunities
at the intersection. Construction
will be completed in about three

Village green project back on track
• By Bea Gooding
COVID-19 may have slowed
progress down at the Bishopdale
Village Green project, but in
spite of the delays its organisers
are working hard to ensure its
completion by the end of this
year.
The Bishopdale Beautification
Project group jumped back
into action once the lockdown
ended and have since installed
the concrete work required to
house picnic tables and wooden
seating.
The open space was in dire
need of a facelift and now consisted
of a colourful footpath,
mural, water fountain and the
planting of cherry blossom trees
– all of which were completed
last year.
Bill Greenwood, of Enliven
Bishopdale, said the project had
been in the works for nearly two
years and that community spirits
remained high in spite of the
pandemic putting a spanner in
the works.
“It’s been brilliant fun working
with the community on such a
great project,” he said.
A large, concrete chequerboard
to play draughts or chess will be
constructed, along with a hopscotch
court, in the coming weeks.
The chequerboard also doubled
as a storytelling area for
children once bench seating was
installed.
The project was supported
by the city council and the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, but it was
run by the Bishopdale Community
Trust and the Enliven
Bishopdale Group.
The community board also
granted $10,000 for community
groups to use to make improvements
to the Bishopdale Village
Mall and will be shared across a
number of projects at the site.
Once completed, Greenwood
said the village green would be
an important community asset
and hub as it will be utilised by

many groups, such as the nearby
YMCA and the Bishopdale Library
and Community Centre.
He was grateful for how
other businesses stepped up and
contributed to the cause such
as the donation of picnic tables
from the Bishopdale Menzshed
and concrete work by Allied
Concrete.
PROGRESS: Chris Coles (left), of the
Bishopdale Community Trust, and
Clare Whatmough, of the Bishopdale
Centre Association, are part of the
team responsible for the revitalisation
of the village green.
Above (from left) – Dave Barker, Bill
Greenwood, Dave James and Lindsay
Dell helping pour concrete at the site.
“We’ve been working with the
community to get added value
by having local sponsorship,” he
said.
“We’ve so far had great support
from local businesses; Allied
Concrete has been phenomenal.”

Dangerous intersection
to get traffic lights sooner
• From page 1
“This is something that
this community has been
asking for decades. I don’t
think it is an unreasonable
request, children should
be able to walk to school
and have a safe way to get
across the road.
“It is not safe for children
to get to school like this,
but these lights will make
it safer,” Keown said.
Breens Intermediate
principal Nikki Clarke
said the intersection had
been an issue for the community
for a long time,
especially since the traffic
flowing through it had
increased post-earthquake.
“Anything we can do to
get that intersection functioning
in a safer fashion
would be a good thing for
our community,” she said.
Said Harewood School
principal Julie Greenwood:
“Anything that enhances
the safety of our students
and slows traffic down on
Harewood Rd is a positive.”

In spite of the clear
community consensus, the
installation of the lights
has been labelled the least
safe option out of the three
put forward by city council
staff.
Staff recommended
changes to the configuration
of the intersection along
with a signalised pedestrian
crossing to alleviate some
of the concerns held by the
community.
I am standing for NZ First because:
•On my return after working overseas five years ago, I was struck by the
inequality and a new class of working poor finding it hard to make ends meet
let alone owning a home, the deterioration of public services, and a lack of
investment in infrastructure to keep pace with unfettered population growth.
•I was also appalled by National’s obsession with a low wage workforce
instead of training young people - putting profit before people and the
environment, their lack of compassion towards the elderly and other vulnerable
groups, and their relentless sales of land, state houses, and primary businesses
to foreign interests.
My Priorities:
•A more egalitarian, inclusive and just society in which everyone can provide
for their families with well-paying jobs and affordable housing without being
burdened with a lifetime of debt.
•Environmental, economic and sovereign rights vigorously protected.
•New Zealand as a responsible Pacific leader and protector.
•Accessible and high quality health care.
•Future generations able receive education and training well matched to their potential.
•More government investment in infrastructure needs, research and
development, and job rich sustainable industries.
•Implementing the Provincial Growth Fund to boost regional economies.
•Strong border security with all returnees paying their fair share.
•An immigration policy strictly targeted to genuine labour and skills shortages.
•Always looking after the elderly and all vulnerable groups.

Warfarin and
INR Testing
Service
INR Tests at Your
Local Pharmacy
Our patients tell us that
they prefer to have their
INR tests done at their local
pharmacy as it saves them
the wait times at a hospital
or doctor’s rooms. A test at
the pharmacy takes just 5-10
minutes.
Did you know that we offer an
anticoagulation monitoring service
to help you better understand and
manage your Warfarin medicine
here in the pharmacy?
Warfarin is the most commonly
used oral anticoagulant in New
Zealand. Its successful use
requires monitoring using a blood
clotting test also known as a
INR (International Normalised
Ratio) test.
The pharmacy-based Warfarin
service called The Community
Pharmacy Anti-Coagulation
Management Service (CPAMS)
is available in select pharmacies
throughout New Zealand.
Bishopdale Unichem is one of
those pharmacies.
Your
Local
Pharmacy
What is an INR
test?
An INR test measures the time it
takes for your blood to clot. It is
used to monitor blood-thinning
medicines, such as Warfarin.
The test consists of a pin prick of
blood from your finger. The blood
sample will be processed through
a machine that will provide you
with instant results.
Your pharmacist will be able
to adjust your Warfarin dosage
accordingly on the day.
Our pharmacists will update
your GP with your INR level
results.
Why do I need a
test?
Patients that are prescribed
Warfarin will need regular
INR tests to make sure their
prescription continues to work for
them. This may be once a month,
or more frequently if your INR
levels tend to fluctuate.
When should I get
a test?
Your test frequency will be
determined by your pharmacist or
GP.
If referred by a GP, your test will
be free.
Our experienced pharmacists
make the INR test quick, easy and
painless so come and talk with
us about how to register for this
service at Bishopdale Unichem.

Your Local Views
Providing clarity on policy and decisions
From the board
David Cartwright, chair
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
YOUR community board works
to improve your relationship
with the city council, providing
better clarity on policy and
decisions made, and having
better communication with
our residents can only aid this
outcome.
It’s been great to see more
sunshine this week particularly
as the school term reconvenes.
Along with the sunshine it has
also been reassuring to know
that the country seems to have
dodged a bullet regarding a massive
outbreak of Covid-19 virus
from a health perspective.
While many families have
been affected with the loss of a
loved one we are lucky compared
to many northern hemisphere
countries.
From an economic point of
view there seems to be various
schools of thought on the
severity of impacts and the time
frames involved.
Recent data on inner-city
spending is encouraging and,
hopefully, our borders will reopen
soon and we will be able to
greet overseas visitors again.
Personally, I am delighted
to see the Te Pae Convention
Centre near completion, plus
progress being made on the
Christ Church Cathedral and
multi-use arena.
Last week we saw the city
council vote on the draft Annual
Plan and the resulting increase
in rates. Your community board
had advocated for zero rates
increase given the impact of
Covid-19. We will continue to
oversee city council projects and
spending to ensure maximum
value is achieved for every dollar
spent.
One part of the budget that
is still available to community
groups, youth and organisations
is strengthening community
funding that supports well-being
and resilience. Applications can
still be made and you should
contact the city council for more
details.
In our last meeting on the
Monday, July 20, we heard from
some local residents as part of a
proposal to rename Avonhead
Park Cemetery to Avonhead
Memorial Cemetery.
City council staff will now
ask for approval for the name
change from the Ministry of
PROGRESS:
A name
change is
proposed for
the Avonhead
Park
Cemetery
while work
on Te Pae
is nearly
complete.
Health, unfortunately the time
frame around when this possible
change is unknown.
Recently we also awarded
several local residents and businesses
with gardening awards –
congratulations to everyone who
was involved.
Anyone can attend our public
forums and chat to us about
issues that concern you. You
can contact our community
governance team to make a time
to speak at an upcoming community
board meeting. Topics
range from trees, parking and
traffic concerns to protection of
our waterways.
On August 24, we are acknowledging
several unsung heroes
in our community services
awards.
I look forward to being able
to share their names and stories
with you next time.

NOR’WEST PROPERTY UPDATE
Highsted Road auction
exceeds expectations
A recent auction on a property being marketed by
Karen Ellis of Ray White Bishopdale resulted in a
successful bid that went far beyond the property owners’
expectations.
Jon and Carol Schrafft had owned their rental
property at 97a Highsted Road for seven years, and
earlier this year decided it was time to think about
selling, though they were uncertain if it was a good time
to do so, due to the effects of Covid-19.
“We had started renovating the property before
lockdown and didn’t quite finish so we were behind the
eight-ball. We were thinking, are we going to get what
we want for the property,” Jon says.
“Karen came and did an appraisal, and we were happy
with that. We had bought and sold properties with
Karen before, and we had bought at auction, but hadn’t
sold at auction before. She advised us that it was a good
time to sell, and explained how the auction would go.”
Karen organised three open homes leading up to
auction day, with a total of 80 groups viewing the
property.
“The feedback we got after the open homes, and the
comments people had made about the property were
very good,” Jon says.
“We were given a full report after every open home,
and this included an analysis of how the advertising
was working. With the follow-up, we knew what was
happening, and any questions we had were
answered straight away.”
Auction day saw eight properties being
auctioned, attracting 100 potential buyers,
with Jon and Carol’s property being the first
to go under the hammer.
Karen says of the 80 groups that viewed
the property during the marketing
campaign, nine buyers were registered on
the day, with five of those competing in the
auction.
Speaking to The Star, Karen said the nine
bidders all wanted to bid, but the speed
hindered their opportunity to do so.
“There was great competition throughout
the auction and the final price far exceeded
the client’s expectations.”
That final price was $558,000, with the sale
being the highlight of the day.
“We got more than we expected,” Jon says, “and we
would certainly recommend Karen to anyone wanting to
sell their property.”
As both the Ray White Bishopdale and Ray White
Strowan offices are finding, auctions are proving
a popular and successful way to sell in the current
Christchurch market, with large numbers of potential
home buyers coming on stream.
Ray White New Zealand auctioneer Ben East says
nothing seems to be able stop a property market that has
strong momentum and continues to produce excellent
results.
“We say it time and time again but there’s no doubt
the time to sell is now. Selling seven out of eight equates
to an 87.5 per cent success rate – that’s incredible for our
vendors,” Mr East says.

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.

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.
Adapt your home to
YOUR IDEA
OF COMFORT
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.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS
Getting ready for a successful Spring sale
With only around four weeks until
Spring these are some tips to help
you prepare to stand out from the
crowd and make the most of spring’s
opportunities.
Renovate what’s outdated: If your
kitchen or bathroom are showing their
age or in need of repair they should
be updated or fixed before you sell.
This may not require a huge outlay
financially, you can think small with
renovations. Rather than replace the
kitchen cabinets, just replace the doors
or the benchtop if that’s the main
telltale sign of the kitchen’s age. New
flooring, an upgraded shower mixer
and a new towel rail may be all your
bathroom needs for a lift. If you aren’t
sure what to do, one of the team at
Ray White Papanui would be happy
to consult with you on what might be
worth investing in for the best return at
the time of sale.
Get it fixed: Look after those longterm
maintenance issues you’ve been
putting off. Now is the time to start
sorting the broken automatic garage
door, the cracked window pane, the
rangehood light and any other little
items you haven’t got around to fixing
yet. Have a walk around your home and
make a list.
Declutter: You are going to be moving
anyway so now is the time to start
donating or disposing of any items you
no longer need – paperwork, kids’ toys,
unused furniture.
Make it light and bright: Upgrade
or remove any old or tatty window
dressings to let the sun and the warm
air in for your Spring open homes. You
might even want to make the most of
the light by adding a brighter coat of
paint or hanging mirrors – mirrors are
great for adding light to your home and
opening spaces right up. Plant some
bright spring flowers in your garden.
Also, consider investing in some
brightly coloured throw pillows, rugs
and art.
Get the word out there: Since you’ll be
facing competition, it’s worth putting in
some extra effort into advertising your
sale and making your home stand out
from the crowd. Photos are important
so make sure they are high quality,
taken by a professional photographer
who specialises in real estate.
The more potential buyers you draw,
the better your chances of getting a
great result, so invest in advertising.
It costs money upfront, but you could
make it (and more) back in an increased
sale price if done well. If there are addons
that will get you extra exposure,
they might be worth considering.
It’s also worth thinking about where
you can list your house online. Use
a real estate salesperson who is
strong on social media and share your
advertisement by asking your friends
to share it, while also promoting your
property through your agent’s online
property listing websites to help spread
the message far and wide!
Give these tips a try to help you make
the most of spring when selling your
home. It can be a competitive market,
but there’s no doubt that it tends to be
a great time to go for it. Happy selling!

Olivia Hendry
Executive Assistant
The rental property market has been
very busy over the past few weeks with
huge enquiry on nearly everything we
have listed for rent across all types and
sizes of properties and in all areas! We
use an online tenant register system to
record details of anyone who is coming
through our ‘open homes’ which shows
we have had an enormous amount of
enquiry, and tenants registering.
REINZ statistics are showing the
median rents in Canterbury have
increased but only marginally from May
2019 ($390) to May 2020 at $400 per
week. February and March saw a small
increase up to $410, however April and
May saw them stabilise back down at
$400. The number of properties rented
during the past 12 months (according
to bond data), has increased quite
significantly however, increasing from
1,680 in May 2019 to 2,349 in May
2020.
So, where to from here? While we
cannot predict the future, with so many
people out there on the search for a
rental property, it would seem likely
that we will experience a shortage, and
in some pockets of Canterbury we are
already beginning to see this!
This means that we need more rentals
for tenants in Canterbury, and with
interest rates so low it could be a
great time to look into purchasing an
investment property.
