Funding serves up hope<br />

for struggling tennis club<br />

NEW BEGINNINGS: Committee<br />

South Brighton Tennis Club,<br />

ONE OF the oldest tennis clubs<br />

in Christchurch will soon get a<br />

much-needed facelift – a light<br />

at the end of a very long tunnel<br />

for its members.<br />

The South Brighton Tennis<br />

Club was one of the latest<br />

groups to benefit from a $7 million<br />

Government cash injection<br />

for “shovel ready” infrastructure<br />

projects.<br />

The suburb is the latest in Canterbury<br />

to get money from $300<br />

million set aside to stimulate the<br />

post-Covid-19 economy.<br />

The club will receive $413,000<br />

to repair its earthquakedamaged<br />

courts, to upgrade its<br />

clubroom and to install lights<br />

to enable games at night.<br />

Club president Kate Latimer<br />

said: “It’s going to be lifechanging<br />

for our youth because<br />

there aren’t a lot of community<br />

facilities or clubs like it, and<br />

it will be a hub of activity for<br />

families and young people.”<br />

Enterprise project promotes diversity<br />

INNOVATIVE Linwood College<br />

students have produced a unique<br />

coffee drink by blending a<br />

traditional Filipino drink with<br />

classic Kiwi flavouring.<br />

But it’s more than just a tasty<br />

coffee creation – the drink symbolises<br />

a fusion of two cultures.<br />

Halaya (Filipino for jelly) chief<br />

executive and Linwood College<br />

student JC Aguilar said food has<br />

the power to bring people from<br />

different backgrounds together.<br />

“Our inspiration was to fuse<br />

two cultures in a dessert.”<br />

The entrepreneurial students<br />

are part of the Young Enterprise<br />

Scheme, which teaches teenagers<br />

practical skills to run a business.<br />

For their business studies class,<br />

the students created a blended<br />

drink of condensed milk, cream<br />

• From page 1<br />

“Not having the funding put us<br />

under a lot of pressure, we had a<br />

bleak outlook and all hopes were<br />

dashed,” she said.<br />

“But it’s a phenomenal amount<br />

of money for a small club, so<br />

we’re feeling very fortunate and<br />

grateful that our efforts have<br />

been recognised.”<br />

More than $20,000 in the last<br />

flavouring.<br />

two years was fundraised to fix<br />

three of its courts, but a further<br />

$70,000 was required to fix the<br />

remaining two courts.<br />

The addition of lights at the<br />

outdoor courts will allow for<br />

night-time usage – a first for the<br />

club. The new funding will also<br />

allow the club to finish off the<br />

already upgraded courts with a<br />

Having seen cultural divides<br />

occurring in places such as the<br />

United States, the group – JC,<br />

Jessa Arcayera, Adrian Rafol,<br />

Even though the courts had<br />

been littered with cracks and<br />

potholes, memberships were on<br />

the rise and the community were<br />

still drawn to the facility.<br />

Established in 1929, SBTC<br />

had a long-standing history as a<br />

multi-generational club with a<br />

“close community.”<br />

Some players were forced to leave<br />

the area because their houses were<br />

Mark Castalone, and Vence Ibo<br />

– wanted to show what good can<br />

come when two cultures join<br />

together.<br />

“Food is more than just what<br />

meets the stomach. It also powers<br />

our physical satisfaction and<br />

that satisfies our way of living,”<br />

JC said.<br />

Halaya has spent hours perfecting<br />

its recipe and it is already<br />

proving to be a massive hit with<br />

customers.<br />

Jessa, Halaya’s production director,<br />

was overwhelmed by the<br />

response at the first market day<br />

at Linwood College, when they<br />

sold 30 cups in 15min.<br />

Halaya is now looking to sell<br />

its product at local markets<br />

around Christchurch.<br />

Its target market started with<br />

“red-zoned,” but due to the club’s<br />

tight-knit nature, they continued<br />

to remain members.<br />

“It’s a family-friendly environment,<br />

everyone’s welcome,” said<br />

Latimer.<br />

The major redevelopment<br />

opened up new opportunities for<br />

the club, such as the chance to<br />

expand their season.<br />

Latimer was confident the new<br />

coffee lovers but it hopes to<br />

expand the target audience with<br />

the hokey pokey flavouring.<br />

“My company and I want to<br />

sell about 300 cups this year and<br />

try to make different flavours beside<br />

our coffee and hokey pokey<br />

flavour,” JC said.<br />

“And also to let people know<br />

something about our culture.”<br />

Filipinos make up the thirdhighest<br />

number of immigrants<br />

arriving in New Zealand, and<br />

Linwood College has a growing<br />

number of Filipino students on<br />

its roll.<br />

Business Studies teacher<br />

Lukas Davidson said Linwood<br />

College is one of the more<br />

diverse schools in Christchurch,<br />

which creates a rich blend of<br />

cultures.<br />

additions would drive membership,<br />

welcoming new and old<br />

players back to the facility.<br />

“We want to be the best club in<br />

Christchurch, but success is measured<br />

in different ways,” she said.<br />

Next in the pipeline for SBTC<br />

was “Love Tennis,” an open day<br />

to learn more about the sport<br />

alongside dedicated coaches, set<br />

for October 10.<br />

History reflected in new Ngutuawa School<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

IT’S THE beginning of a new<br />

chapter at Bamford School.<br />

Nearly a decade after the<br />

September 4, 2010, and February<br />

22, 2011, earthquakes caused<br />

irreparable damage to the site’s<br />

foundations, the school has<br />

found a new home – a $6 million<br />

facility now known as Ngutuawa<br />

School.<br />

The school’s new name represented<br />

the history and culture of<br />

the area in which it was established<br />

and was a reflection of the<br />

“exciting” changes.<br />

Principal Shona Hewlett said<br />

staff and students had now<br />

settled into a modern learning<br />

environment; one that was no<br />

longer “damp” and “cold.”<br />

“The students were very excited<br />

about the new space, they<br />

thought it was beautiful,” she<br />

said.<br />

“Everyone feels really blessed<br />

to be able to come to this new<br />

environment and start fresh.”<br />

Damage to the previous facility<br />

was mostly underground,<br />

such as drainage pipes which<br />

were too costly to fix.<br />

Hewlett said they were lucky<br />

to have been able to rebuild on<br />

the same site unlike many other<br />

schools across the city.<br />

Education, construction began<br />

last year which took three years<br />

to plan and design.<br />

The classrooms were now open<br />

plan, with the ability to close<br />

off areas as needed, had better<br />

temperature controls, and a<br />

“fabulous new hall” the school<br />

did not previously have.<br />

The interior was splashed with<br />

soft colours of blue, grey and teal<br />

to promote a “peaceful” environment,<br />

said Hewlett.<br />

Renaming the school to Ngutuawa<br />

– Maori for river mouth<br />

– was an important aspect of<br />

the changes to better reflect its<br />

values and the significance of the<br />

area.<br />

“The school sits right at the<br />

mouth of the Heathcote River<br />

which was a significant food<br />

gathering area for Ngai Tahu, to<br />

source whitebait and eels,” she<br />

said.<br />

is reflective of the environment<br />

that we’re sitting in.”<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Renewal of the east has<br />

reached a tipping point<br />

From the board<br />

Kelly Barber, chair<br />

Waitai/Coastal-Burwood Community Board<br />

OVER THE past 20 years<br />

I’ve spent a lot of my<br />

summers cycling around<br />

our eastern suburbs and<br />

all over our awesome city<br />

preparing for the annual<br />

Coast to Coast multisport<br />

event.<br />

When I wasn’t biking<br />

I was often in my kayak,<br />

gliding up and down the<br />

Avon or forging out into<br />

our stunning estuary.<br />

I’ve also spent countless<br />

days running too, trudging<br />

the roads, through our<br />

parks, a long our beautiful<br />

seemingly endless beach,<br />

estuary edge, around our<br />

wetlands, in Burwood forest<br />

and sometimes along<br />

the Avon River banks. To<br />

me this was Christchurch<br />

at its best and I often felt<br />

quite uplifted.<br />

But after the earthquakes,<br />

like many, I began<br />

to grow more and more<br />

frustrated in these same<br />

places. We had clearly been<br />

profoundly affected by the<br />

quakes out east, and our<br />

recovery seemed so much<br />

slower than everywhere<br />

else.<br />

I started getting more<br />

and more annoyed at the<br />

state of the roads, the<br />

flooding, the quick fix<br />

bunds, the orange cones,<br />

the broken homes, buildings,<br />

neighbourhoods,<br />

schools and the sad state<br />

of hubs like New Brighton<br />

Mall.<br />

When a friend asked<br />

me if I’d run for council<br />

and community board<br />

suddenly it seemed like an<br />

opportunity to do something<br />

useful instead of just<br />

feeling frustrated.<br />

My colleagues on the<br />

Waitai/Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community board have<br />

similar stories. Each of<br />

us has unique skills and<br />

has come to a place where<br />

we want to do something<br />

to help make our part of<br />

town a better place for all<br />

residents.<br />

It may sound corny but<br />

it’s true. Five of the six<br />

of us were mostly minding<br />

our own business 12<br />

months ago, now we’re<br />

trying to help serve our<br />

community. But we’re not<br />

the first and we know it.<br />

We are acutely aware ‘we<br />

stand on the shoulders of<br />

giants.’<br />

We recognise our two<br />

wards owe a great debt of<br />

gratitude to people such<br />

as David East, Glenn<br />

Livingstone, Kim Money,<br />

Tim Baker, Tim Sintes and<br />

our long-standing current<br />

community board rep<br />

Linda Stewart who served<br />

our community with<br />

determination and pride.<br />

A lot of the good things<br />

you are beginning to see<br />

in our community board<br />

area are the fruits of their<br />

efforts.<br />

Your current board<br />

comprising of city councillors<br />

James Daniels and Phil<br />

Mauger, deputy chair Jo<br />

Zervos, Bebe Frayle, Linda<br />

Stewart and myself want to<br />

play our part and carry on<br />

the work of our predecessors.<br />

With a number of major<br />

projects either recently<br />

completed or receiving<br />

funding just in the last<br />

week it feels like the renewal<br />

of the east has reached a<br />

tipping point.<br />

Of course there is still<br />

cmuch to do but there is<br />

clearly a new vibe, a new<br />

buzz, a new positivity in<br />

our precious part of town.<br />

‘Waste Free Parenting’<br />

Workshop with Kate Meads<br />

This is a<br />

humorous,<br />

entertaining, and<br />

inspirational event<br />

full of tips and<br />

ideas around ways<br />

you can minimise<br />

waste in your home<br />

especially with<br />

young children<br />

in the house.<br />

You get a free pack bursting with waste<br />

minimisation products with each ticket.<br />

Kate Meads was recently labelled New<br />

Zealand’s own waste free warrior and is a<br />

very humorous and motivating speaker.<br />

Kate also prides herself on being “real”.<br />

She often jokes with her audiences about<br />

the fact that she isn’t perfect, nor does<br />

she expect anyone to be. The workshop<br />

is a great place to learn what you can do,<br />

however, and whether it’s big or small,<br />

any change in the right direction is a good<br />

change.<br />

For over 10 years, Kate Meads has<br />

been travelling the country delivering<br />

waste minimisation seminars, with<br />

topics ranging from cloth nappies, right<br />

through to re-usable coffee cups. Kate<br />

is extremely passionate about her work<br />

and believes that education and the<br />

sharing of knowledge is one of the most<br />

powerful tools we have in the battle<br />

against waste. Kate strongly believes that<br />

“If everyone did just one small thing for<br />

our environment every single day, we will<br />

start to make a difference that will count”.<br />

Hundreds flock to Brighton<br />

Gallery Pop-Up Exhibition<br />

A pop-up art exhibition and daily<br />

programme of art classes held by<br />

Brighton Gallery at The Palms recently<br />

saw hundreds of people flock to view the<br />

works of local artists and attend classes.<br />

“Because a pop-up exhibition is<br />

less formal than a gallery what was<br />

particularly gratifying was to see people of<br />

all ages and walks of life feel comfortable<br />

coming in, viewing the art and chatting to<br />

artists,” says Brighton Gallery committee<br />

member and artist Karen Phelps. “We<br />

were really blown away by how many<br />

people attended and the positive feedback<br />

we got.”<br />

Art works exhibited in the pop-up<br />

exhibition included painting, drawing,<br />

prints and sculptures. Phelps says that<br />

the art classes were also well attended<br />

and resulted in a competition of kids’<br />

and young people’s artwork where the<br />

public could vote for their favourite piece<br />

with prizes donated by Paper Plus New<br />

Brighton and the Palms. The pop-up<br />

exhibition also included the opportunity<br />

to win a double pass to He Puna<br />

Taimoana to celebrate its opening, which<br />

was won by Dianne S of New Brighton.<br />

Phelps says that she hopes the pop<br />

up exhibition will encourage people to<br />

explore their creative side and visit the<br />

Brighton Gallery:<br />

“We have constant exhibitions at<br />

the gallery with a large variety of art<br />

from traditional to street art. For those<br />

looking to purchase the artworks are very<br />

reasonably priced. There are regular art<br />

classes and people can join as a member<br />

and exhibit their work. Brighton Gallery<br />

really is an undiscovered gem and once<br />

people visit they keep coming back.”<br />

Located at 4 Carnaby Mall, New<br />

Brighton (opposite Paper Plus), Brighton<br />

Gallery is open 7 days a week year round.<br />

To celebrate Matariki <strong>2020</strong>, Stitcho-Mat<br />

New Brighton, Christchurch’s<br />

community sewing project, was honoured<br />

to have hosted renowned textile artist<br />

Maungarongo (Ron) Te Kawa as their<br />

Artist in Residence which concluded at<br />

the end of last month.<br />

Ron Te Kawa (Ngāti Porou) is known as<br />

an artist, storyteller, quilter and fashion<br />

designer.<br />

During his time at Stitch-o-Mat, Ron<br />

was working on a Community Matariki<br />

Quilt which invited the<br />

community to participate<br />

by either watching or<br />

participating in the event.<br />

Ron was asked to<br />

return by popular<br />

demand after last year’s Whakapapa Quilt<br />

workshops at Stitch-o-Mat. They were<br />

a great success and received extremely<br />

positive feedback which resulted in<br />

Stitch-o-Mat hosting him as their Artist<br />

in Residence for most of July, so that more<br />

people would be able to access his art.<br />

This was possible thanks to the support<br />

of Te Puni Kōkiri and the Christchurch<br />

Creative Communities Scheme.<br />

During his time in Christchurch,<br />

Ron delivered workshops which<br />

focused on the development of<br />

practical sewing skills and shared the<br />

value of supporting each other in the<br />

art of sewing.<br />

Stitch-o-Mat closed off the almost<br />

month long festivities Sunday the 26th<br />

with a potluck dinner and Ron telling<br />

Police crack down<br />

on student drivers<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

Thursday <strong>August</strong> 6 <strong>2020</strong><br />

POLICING AROUND east<br />

Christchurch high schools has<br />

increased in an effort to make<br />

sure students are obeying the<br />

conditions of their driver licences.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School is<br />

one of the schools where this is<br />

happening and principal Tim<br />

Grocott said the initiative should<br />

help keep students safe on busy<br />

surrounding roads at the school’s<br />

new Travis Rd site.<br />

“We were very conscious when<br />

we moved here that we’re moving<br />

to an area that’s got a busy<br />

road on it and all those sorts of<br />

things, and for us, we don’t want<br />

our students who are in vehicles<br />

adding to that level of danger.”<br />

Canterbury road policing<br />

manager Inspector Greg Cottam<br />

said high school students are<br />

often not on their full licences.<br />

He said, for about the next<br />

month, police will be checking<br />

students are not breaking rules<br />

including carrying passengers<br />

if they’re on their restricted<br />

licences or travelling without a<br />

fully licensed driver of two or<br />

more years in the front seat if on<br />

their learners.<br />

If students are found to be<br />

breaching their driving conditions<br />

for the first time, police<br />

will give them the option of<br />

attending a seminar encouraging<br />

them to complete the next stage<br />

of driver licence training.<br />

Said Inspector Cottam: “We’re<br />

working with those kids and giving<br />

out some education, running<br />

some seminars with partners such<br />

as ACC and fire, and encouraging<br />

them [students] to go forward and<br />

get the next stage of their licences.<br />

“We believe education and<br />

changing behaviours is far better<br />

than straight out enforcement,”<br />

he said.<br />

If they’ve breached the rules<br />

more than once or choose not to<br />

attend the seminar, police will issue<br />

the appropriate punishment<br />

on a “case by case basis,” Cottam<br />

said.<br />

Breaching restricted driver<br />

licence conditions can result in<br />

receiving 35 demerit points and a<br />

$100 fine. If any other conditions<br />

of driver licences are breached<br />

the punishment can be 25<br />

demerit points and a $400 fine.<br />

Long lives for hungry<br />

oystercatchers<br />

OYSTERCATCHERS are easy to<br />

spot with their black and white<br />

feathers and a bright orange bill<br />

and legs. You may have seen them<br />

busily harvesting the mudflats<br />

– mainly for cockles but also for<br />

crabs and fish.<br />

It has been recorded that this<br />

ever-hungry bird can consume<br />

up to 1kg of cockles per day. Now<br />

that’s a lot of cockles. At high<br />

tide when they cannot feed on<br />

the mudflats they move to nearby<br />

paddocks to feed on worms and<br />

grubs as well.<br />

Once they find a mate, it’s<br />

for life, and records show pairs<br />

which have been together for 20<br />

years. They prefer to nest inland<br />

and move in early spring to<br />

riverbeds and farmland in the<br />

east of the Southern Alps to raise<br />

their chicks. They then return in<br />

large numbers to our estuary in<br />

autumn and winter.<br />

They are long-lived as well, with<br />

banded birds recorded here to be<br />

as old as 27 years.<br />

There are about 112,000 of these<br />

birds in New Zealand but numbers<br />

are declining. So how can we help<br />

these birds thrive? Keep dogs on<br />

the lead when walking near the estuary<br />

as to not disturb them while<br />

feeding or resting.<br />

Do not gather shellfish from the<br />

mudflats, as we need to ensure<br />

large numbers of cockles are<br />

present for the birds.<br />

Gathering also disturbs the<br />

birds from feeding.<br />

Amazing health miracles<br />

from the silkworm<br />

Serrapeptase an enzyme produced in<br />

silkworms may become one of the most<br />

widely used natural health solutions<br />

for its ability to replace the majority of<br />

anti-inflammatory drugs and bypass<br />

operations. It is nature’s answer to pain,<br />

chronic inflammation and clogged<br />

arteries. Enzymes are essential for<br />

life. Constantly working to build and<br />

regenerate the body, they help digest<br />

food, break down toxins and cleanse<br />

the blood, in addition to thousands of<br />

other functions. A lack of enzymes in the<br />

body leads to food intolerances, allergies,<br />

digestive issues, disease and poor health.<br />

Studies show an average 70-year old has<br />

only 20 percent of the enzymes found in<br />

the body of a 20-year old.<br />

Serrapeptase is a natural antiinflammatory,<br />

which can clean, clear and<br />

reduce inflammation while dissolving<br />

non-living tissue including blood clots,<br />

cysts, arterial plaque and mucus. One of<br />

its major benefits is its ability to reduce<br />

pain.<br />

The serrapeptase enzyme was first found<br />

in the intestine of the silkworm in the late<br />

1960’s. The silkworm uses it to dissolve the<br />

hard cocoon, allowing the moth to escape<br />

as well as to digest the tough mulberry<br />

leaves it feeds on. Serrapeptase can now be<br />

produced commercially by a fermentation<br />

process of the microorganism Serriata<br />

E15. It is prescribed by doctors across<br />

Europe and Asia.<br />

Clinical studies over the last 40 years<br />

have shown serrapeptase to have<br />

remarkable benefits in a vast range of<br />

health conditions including; blocked<br />

arteries, cardiovascular, arthritis,<br />

asthma, lung conditions, pain, tumors,<br />

autoimmune disease and many more.<br />

In Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically<br />

researched serrapeptase and found it<br />

could clear blocked arteries and prevent<br />

the need for bypass operations. U.K.<br />

pharmacist Dennis Gore talked on BBC<br />

radio about the dramatic results he has<br />

had with serrapeptase. One case was a<br />

man in his 60’s who had been a heavy<br />

smoker, was wheeled into his pharmacy.<br />

He was breathless due to emphysema<br />

and COPD and could hardly talk. He<br />

was on antibiotics, oxygen and getting<br />

bad infections. Dennis prescribed him<br />

serrapeptase and three weeks later the<br />

man walked into his pharmacy, with no<br />

wheelchair and no breathlessness and said<br />

to Dennis he was no longer on antibiotics,<br />

nor oxygen cylinders and was feeling<br />

great.<br />

Serrapeptase has been shown to be<br />

very safe supplement and according<br />

to researchers can be used with most<br />

medications. However let your doctor<br />

know as medications may need reducing<br />

or stopping as the need for them reduces.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Ground moisture barrier<br />

under low sub-floor<br />

Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />

its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />

to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />

and healthy for their families throughout<br />

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />

many of our older properties which suffer<br />

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />

people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />

from rising damp which can be associated<br />

with health problems. Independent tests have<br />

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />

from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />

musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />

very young are especially vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />

locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />

understands the problems caused by rising<br />

damp and are there to help. They will come<br />

to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />

flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />

floored home.<br />

While insulation is important, it has been<br />

recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />

Standards introduced by the government<br />

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has<br />

a requirement to install ground moisture<br />

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />

moisture in the home.<br />

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />

on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />

where the floor is suspended over damp<br />

ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />

close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />

under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />

home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961<br />

• Members of the Insulation Association of<br />

New Zealand.<br />

• We offer a free measure and quote in the<br />

Canterbury region with no obligations.<br />

• Assessments can be made in all other<br />

regions by arrangement.<br />

Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote<br />

and complimentary appraisal of your<br />

underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.<br />

Zone Control for your<br />

ducted heat pump<br />

Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient<br />

way to heat (or cool) your home. The<br />

air from the heat pump is ducted to<br />

several rooms or zones in your house.<br />

Using a zone control system makes your<br />

ducted heat pump even more efficient, by<br />

specifying the amount of heat required<br />

in each area, so not wasting energy to<br />

overheat or overcool any room.<br />

The AirTouch4 zone control system<br />

from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump<br />

air zoning to a whole new level of comfort<br />

and energy efficiency.<br />

AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone<br />

Control<br />

Have total control of your comfort zone:<br />

AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different<br />

level of conditioned air in the room they<br />

are in.<br />

Save money on the power<br />

bill, without compromising on<br />

comfort, by only running the<br />

heating or cooling where you<br />

need it with Smart Zoning.<br />

Plus with runtime tracking,<br />

energy and airflow management<br />

technology, you can enjoy greater<br />

efficiency and savings from your<br />

family’s ducted heat pump.<br />

The AirTouch4 can<br />

%<br />

also<br />

connect to Google Home and<br />

Amazon Alexa.<br />

Not every home is designed<br />

equal. Not every room is either.<br />

Temperatures can often fluctuate from<br />

one room to the next because of sunlight,<br />

room activity or other factors.<br />

With AirTouch4’s Individual<br />

Temperature Control Technology (ITC),<br />

the AirTouch monitors temperatures<br />

and smartly adjusts airflow as needed<br />

around your home with the aid of multiple<br />

wireless temperature sensors instead of a<br />

single sensor in one location. When some<br />

rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch<br />

will adjust airflow to maintain your desired<br />

temperature, without wasting conditioned<br />

air on rooms already comfortable.<br />

The Giver of Stars<br />

by Jojo Moyes<br />

Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her<br />

stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic,<br />

especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for<br />

a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library,<br />

Alice signs on enthusiastically.<br />

The leader, and soon Alice’s greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient<br />

woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined<br />

by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of<br />

Kentucky.<br />

What happens to them – and to the men they love – becomes an unforgettable drama<br />

of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by<br />

men or by convention.<br />

And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly<br />

beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who<br />

have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.<br />

Chasing The Light<br />

How I Fought My Way into Hollywood - From the 1960s to Platoon<br />

by oliver stone<br />

In this powerful and evocative memoir, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter, Oliver<br />

Stone, takes us right to the heart of what it’s like to make movies on the edge.<br />

He writes about his rarefied New York childhood, volunteering for combat, and his<br />

struggles and triumphs making such films as Platoon, Midnight Express, and Scarface.<br />

Before the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded<br />

as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while taking<br />

miscellaneous jobs and driving taxis in New York, finally venturing westward to Los<br />

Angeles and a new life. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with vivid<br />

details of the high and low moments of his career…plus other on-set experiences<br />

from movies, The Hand, The Deer Hunter and Salvador and his first Academy Awardwinning<br />

film, Midnight Express. Written fearlessly, with intense detail and colour,<br />

Chasing the Light is a true insider’s story of Hollywood’s years of upheaval in the<br />

1970s and ‘80s, and Stone brings this period alive as only someone at the centre of<br />

the action truly can.<br />

My Lies, Your Lies<br />

by susan lewis<br />

One life destroyed by a lie.<br />

Freda has never shared her history with anyone before. But now she’s ready to tell<br />

the story that has haunted her for forty years – about a 15-year-old girl falling<br />

madly in love with her teacher.<br />

One life destroyed by the truth.<br />

Hired by Freda, Joely is there to help uncover what really happened –<br />

but as the story starts to unravel, it will end in a way she could never have<br />

imagined.<br />

Uncovering the secrets of the past comes at a deadly price …<br />

The Quick and the Dead<br />

True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist<br />

by Cynric temple-Camp<br />

True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist.<br />

From the number-one bestselling author of The Cause of Death comes a book<br />

about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and often tragic ways humans meet<br />

their end.<br />

A dead body without a trace of trauma; alien parasites; worms of the brain;<br />

crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders ... In The Quick and the Dead,<br />

pathologist Dr Cynric Temple-Camp takes readers into a world of disease and<br />

death as he seeks answers for those who were unlucky, and those still alive to<br />

tell the tale.<br />

It Started with a Secret<br />

by Jill Mansell<br />

Jill Mansell’s heart-warming new book is the perfect escape from the winter weather.<br />

A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who’s had enough of romance<br />

- or has she? The trouble with secrets is that you can’t guess what the consequences<br />

will be . . . Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps<br />

nail her dream job. Soon she’s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off<br />

obsessed fans for a retired – if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming<br />

but chaotic family. It’s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.<br />

At least Lainey isn’t looking for love. It’s time for a break from all that. And yet . . .<br />

Seth, the actor’s grandson, really is rather attractive. There’s growing chemistry and a<br />

definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn’t been<br />

honest with him?Lainey’s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his<br />

own. And everything’s about to start unravelling . . .<br />
