Silver lining for Sue<br />

ATHLETES: Irienne Ameye and Sue Greet (right) compete in the Ryman Olympics virtual cycling final.<br />

ANTHONY Wilding<br />

Retirement Village’s Sue Greet<br />

pushed for cycling glory as part<br />

of the Olympics@Ryman finals.<br />

While Sue finished with a<br />

silver, she had the leader of the<br />

virtual race in her sights over<br />

the last kilometre or so, and the<br />

volume of applause from other<br />

Anthony Wilding residents grew<br />

as she drew near to the 13.5km<br />

finish mark.<br />

She and fellow village resident<br />

Irienne Ameye sat side by side on<br />

their bikes. The cadence levels on<br />

the pedals were high, and there<br />

were a few puffs and requests for<br />

water as the competitors covered<br />

the kilometres.<br />

Lower speed<br />

limits raise<br />

commuting<br />

time<br />

concerns<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

LINWOOD-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham wants the city<br />

council to keep Humphreys Drive<br />

at 70km/h.<br />

He is concerned the proposed<br />

speed reduction will increase<br />

commuter times for motorists<br />

driving into the city.<br />

“Given the recent speed reductions<br />

from 50km/h to 30km/h<br />

through the Woolston Village,<br />

transit times for residents commuting<br />

to the city are likely to<br />

increase,” he said.<br />

“The route via Humphreys<br />

Drive provides an alternative and<br />

quicker option for many coastal<br />

residents.”<br />

The city council is proposing<br />

to reduce the current 70km/h<br />

speed to 60km/h in an effort to<br />

make it safer for both cyclists and<br />

motorists who share the road.<br />

City council transport operations<br />

manager Steffan Thomas<br />

said the speed limit reduction<br />

would also “better reflect the safe<br />

and appropriate speed recommended<br />

by current speed management<br />

guidance from Waka<br />

Kotahi New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency.”<br />

Food fight to figure out facts WATER<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

FOUR CASHMERE High<br />

School students are on a mission<br />

to educate children about what<br />

really goes into their food.<br />

Food Fight is a fun, educational<br />

card game created by year<br />

13 students Oakley Inkersell,<br />

Rosa Kelly, Aljaž Smrekar and<br />

Jack Carran, in response to child<br />

obesity in New Zealand.<br />

The Young Enterprise Scheme<br />

business studies project has been<br />

such a hit in the last few months<br />

that it can now be found in selected<br />

supermarkets and schools.<br />

Said Inkersell, Food Fight chief<br />

executive: “When I was younger<br />

I was overweight and I didn’t<br />

know anything about nutrition.<br />

I wish I had a resource like Food<br />

Fight to educate me as a kid and<br />

to know what it did to my body.”<br />

Kelly said there was not<br />

enough education in schools in<br />

relation to nutrition.<br />

“It’s one of the core problems<br />

for the child obesity crisis in New<br />

Zealand,” she said.<br />

“With this game, we feel like<br />

it’s a fun and interactive way to<br />

teach kids about nutrition and in<br />

schools, children will have more<br />

control over their health.”<br />

The students wanted to promote<br />

balance – no food had a<br />

positive or negative connotation<br />

in the game, rather it was about<br />

presenting the facts and allowing<br />

children to make educated<br />

choices about their diet.<br />

Each of the 52 cards incorporated<br />

te reo Māori and contained<br />

a picture of food typically eaten<br />

by children, such as fruit, sandwiches,<br />

mince pies or ice cream.<br />

What followed was a real<br />

breakdown of nutrients in the<br />

food, including calories and fat<br />

and sugar content.<br />

Food Fight used this information<br />

to form a game in a similar<br />

style to the Top Trumps card<br />

game. The aim is to have the<br />

most cards received off of other<br />

players by winning rounds.<br />

Said Oakley: “You win rounds<br />

by battling with the categories on<br />

the cards, which are calories, fat,<br />

protein, carbs, sugar and price.<br />

The person with the highest or<br />

lowest statistic depending on<br />

what category wins that round.”<br />

In spite of the Food Fight<br />

team heading off to Canterbury<br />

University next year, they were<br />

still keen on seeing the business<br />

grow.<br />

So far about 120 decks have<br />

been sold to parents, teachers<br />

and businesses, with growing<br />

interest from doctors who saw it<br />

as a tool that could be prescribed.<br />

“We’ve also been contacted<br />

by parents of children with type<br />

1 diabetes who said that Food<br />

Fight has been perfect for helping<br />

their kids learn about how much<br />

sugar is in their favourite food,”<br />

Oakley said.<br />

In Brief<br />

MAIN UPGRADES<br />

Traffic management is now in<br />

place along Eastern Tce, Beckenham,<br />

for the renewal of water<br />

supply mains. The work, between<br />

Birdwood Ave and Corson Ave,<br />

is to replace and upgrade the<br />

existing water mains and lateral<br />

connections that have reached<br />

the end of their lifecycle. The<br />

upgrades are taking place during<br />

weekdays and are expected to be<br />

completed by late October.<br />

DONATIONS NEEDED<br />

The Hoon Hay Food Bank has put<br />

out an urgent call for tinned food<br />

to meet the high demand of food<br />

parcels it provides to the community.<br />

Two drop-off locations have<br />

been set up. Donations are being<br />

accepted at the Rowley Resource<br />

Centre on weekdays between 9am<br />

and 2pm, and between 8.30am<br />

and 5.30pm at Unichem Lincoln<br />

Road Pharmacy.<br />

REGISTRATIONS OPEN<br />

Registrations are now open for<br />

residents who want to get involved<br />

in the opening of Te Pou Toetoe:<br />

Linwood Pool on October 2 and<br />

3. Alongside the facility’s official<br />

opening, a big community event<br />

at Linwood Park is being planned,<br />

complete with performances, food<br />

stalls and fun activities. To run<br />

Safe cycle routes a priority<br />

•From page 1<br />

In the past five years, there<br />

have been six recorded crashes<br />

along the 70km/h section of<br />

Humphreys Drive.<br />

Two resulted in serious<br />

injury, two resulted in minor<br />

injury, and two resulted in no<br />

injury.<br />

One of the serious crashes<br />

involved a cyclist.<br />

The proposal comes as the<br />

Rapanui-Shag Rock cycleway<br />

will be completely constructed<br />

by mid-2022.<br />

Thomas said the city council<br />

had not considered putting<br />

in lights along the bike path<br />

in the nearby Charlesworth<br />

Reserve, which is used as an<br />

alternative during the day for<br />

cyclists who would usually<br />

travel along Humphreys Drive.<br />

“The intention is for Humphreys<br />

Drive to remain<br />

as the night-time cycle<br />

route,” he said.<br />

“Improvements to the<br />

existing on-road cycle<br />

lanes along Humphreys<br />

Drive include street<br />

lighting assessments/<br />

improvements, two sets<br />

of pedestrian and cycle<br />

signalised crossings, widening<br />

of the existing road shoulders<br />

and other safety improvement<br />

features.”<br />

Latham said it concerned<br />

him the city council’s intention<br />

was for Humphreys Drive to<br />

remain a route for cyclists,<br />

Darrell<br />

Latham<br />

“particularly given a serious<br />

injury accident and after<br />

spending ratepayers dollars<br />

creating a safer alternative<br />

route through<br />

Charlesworth Reserve.”<br />

“It’s nonsensical to<br />

have two routes as we<br />

have the opportunity<br />

to keep cyclists 100 per<br />

cent safe on a dedicated<br />

pathway,” he said.<br />

He said night-time<br />

lighting should be installed in<br />

Charlesworth Reserve, making<br />

it safer for cyclists rather than<br />

encouraging continued use on<br />

Humphreys Drive.<br />

“Safety is of paramount<br />

importance for all road users,”<br />

he said.<br />

The city council is also<br />

proposing that Tidal <strong>View</strong>’s<br />

current 50km/h speed should<br />

be reduced to 30km/h.<br />

Public consultation is open<br />

for the proposed speed reductions.<br />

It closes on <strong>August</strong> 24.<br />

Businesses along both<br />

Humphreys Drive and Tidal<br />

<strong>View</strong> have been asked to<br />

share their perspective on the<br />

proposal, alongside residents<br />

in Redcliffs, Ferrymead,<br />

Brookhaven, Mt Pleasant,<br />

Sumner and Heathcote.<br />

Park. Six bins were sensibly<br />

placed around the park, but<br />

now there is only one, and<br />

like you, we see rubbish and<br />

doggy-do left where the old<br />

bins used to be.<br />

Whoever thought that this<br />

would be a better system, is<br />

sadly mistaken. When people<br />

go to our parks the challenge<br />

is to spot or find the one rubbish<br />

bin.<br />

Yes, we know the new<br />

bins are bigger and are solarpowered,<br />

and that they would<br />

cost more than the old bins,<br />

but there is a need for more<br />

bins placed at the entrances<br />

to our parks for the hygienic<br />

collection of rubbish. – Gavin<br />

Stuart<br />

I have no objections to the<br />

new BigBelly bins in Hansen<br />

Park, in fact, I think they<br />

are better, being bigger and<br />

covered.<br />

However, I am dismayed<br />

about the placement of them.<br />

Both of the bins are located at<br />

the St Martins/Rudolf Steiner<br />

School end, one near the<br />

entrance and one at the sports<br />

pavilion. There is no bin at<br />

the Opawa entrance and there<br />

was previously one at the<br />

footbridge.<br />

Elderly people or anyone<br />

walking their dogs from the<br />

Opawa entrance are faced<br />

with a very long walk in order<br />

to use the bin at the St Martins<br />

entrance.<br />

Not everyone walks the<br />

full circuit of the park and I<br />

would have thought it would<br />

be logical to place a bin at both<br />

of the main entrances plus,<br />

the sports pavilion. – Cheryl<br />

ESSIE SUMMERS VILLAGE HAS<br />

A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY<br />

Essie Summers Retirement Village’s residents<br />

and staff form a cosy, caring but very active<br />

community, that enjoys all the benefits of<br />

being close to the heart of Christchurch.<br />

New residents find many positives living in<br />

the village and often have an affinity with<br />

the area. In the village there is the chance to<br />

relax or get involved in the latest activity or<br />

Happy Hour event.<br />

The village lounge is well used by residents<br />

and their visiting families. A sunny atrium<br />

with a gorgeous range of plants and lovely<br />

seating areas offers another ideal spot for<br />

a catch-up. The village amenities include<br />

a lounge and bar area, pool table, hair and<br />

beauty salon, and an upstairs library with an<br />

outdoor area.<br />

The leadership team includes Village<br />

Manager Rosemary Deane and Clinical<br />

Manager Melanie Asuncion, each overseeing<br />

dedicated teams.<br />

Rosemary says the village is close to the<br />

best of Beckenham and is in one of the<br />

best locations in Christchurch, particularly<br />

with its easy access to city entertainment,<br />

amenities, and the hospital.<br />

There is a Countdown supermarket across<br />

the road, bus stops, and residents can drive<br />

or take the village van on outings to the city<br />

and beyond.<br />

The staff are truly dedicated to the residents<br />

and village, with some having been at<br />

Essie Summers since it originally opened<br />

as Beckenham Courts back in 1991,<br />

Rosemary says.<br />

Melanie says there are many different<br />

aspects to her role including getting to know<br />

the residents and their families. During her<br />

10 years at the village she has loved the<br />

chance to get to know families as part of a<br />

role that oversees residents’ health needs<br />

and the wellbeing of nurses.<br />

“You build a rapport with the family<br />

members, which is really good. That opens<br />

up lots of communication.<br />

“We have fun in the village. It’s never boring.”<br />

Arti Karan, Activities & Lifestyle Coordinator,<br />

leads a comprehensive activities programme.<br />

Both staff and residents love their day to<br />

day interaction, and there is a lot of fun and<br />

laughter, she says. Often the townhouse and<br />

serviced apartment residents will join in an<br />

outing. For example, a day trip to Hanmer to<br />

soak in the pools and then go shopping.<br />

Sales Advisor Lynne Bretherton loves<br />

helping new residents move and she enjoys<br />

continuing the relationship as they become<br />

part of the village community.<br />

“The village has got a really nice feel to it,<br />

it’s all very inclusive. The setting residents<br />

enjoy is wonderful,” Lynne says.<br />

Chris Parker, Lead Maintenance and Ross<br />

Sutherland, Head Gardener enjoy chatting<br />

with residents as they go about their<br />

daily work.<br />

Ross says as the sole village gardener, he<br />

likes to introduce new elements to the<br />

outdoor settings each season. For example,<br />

he is now introducing polyanthus and<br />

dianthus flowers. Gardening is a lovely point<br />

of contact and discussion with the residents.<br />

Chris, Lead Maintenance, loves helping the<br />

residents, even with something as simple as<br />

connecting their TVs. He does everything<br />

from fixing pieces of art to residents’<br />

apartment walls, and putting up shelves, to<br />

liaising with the tradesmen and contractors<br />

to ensure the village is very well maintained<br />

and runs smoothly.<br />

Essie Summers Retirement Village has<br />

happy residents, and caring staff, creating a<br />

wonderful community to be a part of.<br />

Grant to help more students<br />

get involved in native planting<br />

A charitable trust that<br />

is working with 16 schools to<br />

populate parts of the former red<br />

zone with native plants is getting<br />

a $61,400 grant to expand its<br />

operation.<br />

The money will come from<br />

the Red Zones Transitional Use<br />

Fund that was set up by the city<br />

council to provide support to<br />

projects and events<br />

Ahead of their longer-term<br />

regeneration, the projects will<br />

help create activity and vibrancy<br />

in the former red zone areas.<br />

Some of the schools involved<br />

include Linwood College, Rawhiti<br />

Primary, St Andrew’s College,<br />

Burnside Primary, Christ’s College,<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School,<br />

Christchurch South Intermediate<br />

and St Margaret’s College.<br />

“The Eco-Action Nursery<br />

Trust is doing an amazing job at<br />

both connecting young people<br />

with the former red zone area<br />

along the Ōtākaro Avon River<br />

Corridor and educating them<br />

about the process for endemic<br />

native revegetation,’’ sustainability<br />

and community resilience<br />

chairwoman and city councillor<br />

VOLUNTEERS: The Eco-Action Nursery Trust, which works with 16 schools across the city,<br />

has received a grant, allowing it to teach more young people about native planting.<br />

Photo: Newsline ​<br />

Sara Templeton said.<br />

The trust was set up two years<br />

ago.<br />

It collects endemic native plant<br />

seeds, under permit from Travis<br />

Wetland and Riccarton Bush,<br />

propagates seedlings and grows<br />

plants at a central nursery at<br />

Christ’s College, using volunteer<br />

school students and supervisors.<br />

It is working with the schools<br />

to help them establish satellite<br />

nurseries, providing start-up kits<br />

of 500 to 1000 plants and all the<br />

equipment they need to successfully<br />

grow them.<br />

Eco-Action Nursery Trust<br />

chairwoman David Newton<br />

said the grant will allow it to get<br />

more schools and young people<br />

involved in the growing and<br />

planting process.<br />

“The native trees and plants<br />

that are being grown by the<br />

students through the nursery<br />

programme provide muchneeded<br />

food and habitats for<br />

native birds and lizards, which is<br />

another important focus for us,’’<br />

Newton said.<br />

The trust has a five-year lease<br />

on a parcel of land off Chimera<br />

Cres, in the Ōtākaro Avon River<br />

Corridor which it has started<br />

planting with the help of volunteers.<br />

It also has a lease on another<br />

area of land off Gayhurst Tce<br />

that will be ready for planting in<br />

winter next year.<br />

It has eight schools waiting to<br />

join its programme and expects<br />

to propagate 20,000 plants<br />

this year through its nursery<br />

programme.<br />

Next year the aim is to<br />

propagate 30,000.<br />

Ryman Olympics sees silver in cycling for Sue<br />

• From page 1<br />

Both had partners ‘trackside’<br />

to give them support. Ron<br />

Collyer kept Sue focused, while<br />

Tony Ameye gave constant vocal<br />

support to Irienne.<br />

Many of Ryman’s 43 villages<br />

participated in the cycling heats<br />

and finals. Competing on the<br />

course together, they were helped<br />

by some amazing ‘virtual race’<br />

technology.<br />

Both Sue and Irienne are<br />

keen cyclists and belong to<br />

Christchurch-based clubs. Sue<br />

belongs to the ‘Russley Rims’ and<br />

has travelled throughout New<br />

Zealand to take part in cycling<br />

tours, while Irienne belongs to<br />

the U3A (University of the Third<br />

Age) group.<br />

Sue has a brother in Rangiora<br />

and will regularly cycle there, or<br />

along a cycle trail to Kaiapoi – a<br />

60km round trip.<br />

“I use my bike like a car. From<br />

here I go out along the motorway<br />

(on the cycle trail) and go right<br />

out to Rangiora.”<br />

Sue says she has extended tours<br />

planned in both the Pareora and<br />

Lake Dunstan areas. She grew<br />

up on a farm near Lismore in<br />

Mid Canterbury, about halfway<br />

between Mayfield and Hinds.<br />

Ahead of the final, Anthony<br />

Wilding Village manager Sharon<br />

Armstrong thanked both the<br />

residents and supporters for<br />

taking part in the virtual road<br />

cycling race.<br />

“We ask that you enter into<br />

this brand new experience<br />

guided by the Olympic values<br />

of respect, friendship and<br />

excellence. Give it your best!”<br />

At the end of the race, Sue said<br />

her strategy had been to “just<br />

put my head down. I think I’d<br />

got used to the gears. I just went<br />

for it.”<br />

Overcoming demons to help those<br />

with mental illness and disability<br />

Wayne Gibson’s battle<br />

with his own demons<br />

pushed him to help<br />

people with disabilities<br />

and mental illnesses<br />

experiencing longterm<br />

unemployment.<br />

The PEEEP Trust yard<br />

manager speaks to<br />

reporter Bea Gooding<br />

about finding your voice<br />

in the face of adversity<br />

Wayne Gibson is still healing<br />

from the wounds that depression<br />

left behind nearly three decades<br />

ago.<br />

But in spite of the stigma men<br />

face about their mental health –<br />

both nowadays and back in the<br />

1990s – Gibson has learned to<br />

cope, coming out the other side<br />

of it a better person.<br />

It is a message of hope he<br />

now instils in the volunteers<br />

he leads at PEEEP Trust, who<br />

are experiencing long-term<br />

unemployment as a result of<br />

mental illness or disability.<br />

The People Empowerment and<br />

Environmental Enhancement<br />

Programme is a safe space for<br />

people to gain skills leading to<br />

job opportunities that might not<br />

have been there otherwise.<br />

“Our jobs give them a bit of<br />

a lift in life, makes them feel<br />

important, and builds up their<br />

confidence and self-esteem,” said<br />

Gibson.<br />

“A lot of the guys that come in<br />

here are really reserved and not<br />

sure where they’re going in life.<br />

My job is to make sure they leave<br />

here happy every day, feeling<br />

more positive about themselves.”<br />

The trust has provided<br />

training and work experience for<br />

unemployed people since 1993,<br />

with a focus on improving the<br />

local environment.<br />

Referred from agencies<br />

such as the Ministry of Social<br />

Development, all volunteers<br />

FRESH START: After turning his own life around, PEEEP yard manager Wayne Gibson now<br />

helps others.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

have experienced long-term<br />

unemployment.<br />

Many are recovering from<br />

drug or alcohol addictions, have<br />

physical or social disabilities,<br />

or are dealing with mental<br />

illnesses.<br />

PEEEP offers stability, purpose<br />

and belonging, contact with<br />

nature, teamwork experience,<br />

and staff encouragement<br />

through contracted work.<br />

It could be graffiti removal<br />

for the city council one day,<br />

grounds maintenance at parks,<br />

businesses or homes the next,<br />

or beach clean-ups and dune<br />

management.<br />

Said Gibson: “It’s the simplest<br />

of things they can lack that we<br />

help them with. Most have never<br />

used a computer so we show<br />

them how to go on Google –<br />

things people would take for<br />

granted.”<br />

As yard manager, Gibson loves<br />

balancing his time between coordinating<br />

future jobs from the<br />

office and working side-by-side<br />

with the volunteers.<br />

After all, he has been in<br />

their shoes, starting as a casual<br />

volunteer eight years ago<br />

mowing lawns at the former<br />

Queen Elizabeth II Park while<br />

battling his own demons.<br />

Before PEEEP, Gibson was a<br />

labourer.<br />

“I enjoy helping people less<br />

fortunate than myself. I’ve been<br />

in a position in my younger years<br />

where I’ve been down that road,<br />

where I’ve been very depressed<br />

and low,” he said.<br />

“It’s not a good place to be. If<br />

I can help somebody to get out<br />

of that zone, I feel like my job is<br />

done.”<br />

Gibson eventually worked his<br />

way up to become the supervisor,<br />

before accepting the manager<br />

role earlier this year.<br />

The new role was a full-circle<br />

moment for the father of three<br />

because the supervisor who<br />

initially hired him happened to<br />

be his son Tristan.<br />

“When I first started here as<br />

a casual he was my boss, but<br />

only until 4 o’clock – I stipulated<br />

that.”<br />

Eight years later the tables have<br />

turned, with Gibson becoming<br />

his son’s boss.<br />

Having a close working and<br />

personal relationship did not<br />

get in the way of putting the<br />

volunteers first.<br />

It was about finding the right<br />

time to “take my boss hat off and<br />

put my father hat on,” and vice<br />

versa.<br />

“It’s great, we’re more like best<br />

friends and we work really well<br />

together as a team,” Gibson said.<br />

“We don’t bring any issues we<br />

have into work, we talk about<br />

it after work. We don’t want<br />

the volunteers to pick up any<br />

negative vibes.”<br />

A growing reputation has<br />

meant the number of referrals<br />

has climbed, with many more on<br />

the waiting list.<br />

Along with the trustees, the<br />

team of three-to-four staff work<br />

alongside eight volunteers at a<br />

time.<br />

Gibson has always been a<br />

“people person at heart,” but<br />

empowering others to find their<br />

voices for the first time made<br />

all the challenges he faced worth<br />

it.<br />

“They don’t know it, but I get a<br />

lot from them as well.”<br />

He recalled with pride a young<br />

man who went from being<br />

socially withdrawn to securing<br />

an apprenticeship on his<br />

own, thanks to newfound<br />

confidence.<br />

“We carried him under our<br />

wing, and over a few months,<br />

we lifted his spirits so much you<br />

couldn’t keep him quiet,” said<br />

Gibson.<br />

“This place helped him so<br />

much he doesn’t get on the Xbox<br />

anymore now that he has a job.”<br />

Having been encouraged by<br />

his own co-workers, friends and<br />

family to take on a leadership<br />

role for the first time, Gibson<br />

could relate.<br />

“My self-esteem was a bit<br />

low before I became manager, I<br />

didn’t think I would cope.”<br />

The macho mentality expected<br />

of men, especially in the past,<br />

made it difficult to address the<br />

trauma he experienced sooner.<br />

“I was in a very bad situation<br />

and I was a broken man. Back<br />

then, a man was a man,” he said.<br />

“It’s not really a thing you need<br />

to hide anymore.”<br />

Gibson could spend all day<br />

tinkering away on one of his<br />

muscle cars if he did not have a<br />

trust to worry about.<br />

In spite of his brighter outlook<br />

on life, there are concerns he<br />

simply can’t shake off.<br />

“Funding is drying up – since<br />

Covid, applying for funding is<br />

less successful these days.”<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

We’re rolling out<br />

COVID-19 vaccinations<br />

to Aotearoa New Zealand<br />

Everyone aged 60+ can book their vaccination now<br />

New Zealanders aged 60+ can book now at BookMyVaccine.nz or call<br />

0800 28 29 26. If you’re in one of our priority groups (Groups 1, 2 and 3)<br />

and haven’t been vaccinated, don’t worry, you can still make your booking.<br />

We’re rolling out Group 4 in age bands<br />

Everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand will be able to get the vaccine – it’s free and there’s enough vaccine for everyone.<br />

With more than 2.5 million people aged under 65, to make the process flow smoothly, we’re breaking it down by age bands.<br />

We’re starting with the oldest and working our way down to the youngest.<br />

Important dates<br />

28 July Everyone 60+ Can book now<br />

11 <strong>August</strong> Everyone 55+ Bookings open<br />

Bookings will open soon to the rest of Aotearoa in age bands,<br />

from oldest to youngest. Remember, once you’re eligible to be<br />

vaccinated, you can book at any time. There’s no cut off.<br />

60 +<br />

55 + 45 + 35 + 16 +<br />

When it’s your time to book a vaccination<br />

Step 1: Receiving an invitation<br />

When you’re eligible, you’ll receive a letter inviting you to book<br />

at BookMyVaccine.nz. We’ll follow up with an email and text.<br />

Step 2: Make your booking<br />

Once you’ve received your invitation, or when your age band is<br />

open, go to BookMyVaccine.nz to book your appointments.<br />

If you’re unable to book online, you can ring the COVID Vaccination<br />

Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 (8am to 8pm, 7 days). We’ll make the<br />

booking for you and answer any questions. Interpreters are available<br />

if you need them.<br />

You can expect to have your first vaccination six to eight weeks after<br />

you make your booking. Depending on where and when you’d like to<br />

be vaccinated, you might find an appointment earlier. You’ll need<br />

to leave at least three weeks between your first and second doses.<br />

Step 3: Get your vaccination<br />

We’ll send a reminder the day before each appointment. It’s very<br />

important to get two doses of the vaccine – this will give you the<br />

best protection.<br />

Other ways to get vaccinated<br />

There are other ways to be vaccinated, including workplace<br />

vaccinations and other vaccination events around the country.<br />

In many remote rural communities, we will vaccinate all age groups<br />

at the same time.<br />

Many GPs are also providing COVID-19 vaccinations and are taking<br />

bookings directly. To find out if your GP is offering this service,<br />

visit healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19-vaccination<br />

The stronger our immunity, the greater our possibilities.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known<br />

for in rural communities, through their<br />

home heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel<br />

delivery service to the lower South Island’s<br />

main urban centres of Christchurch, Timaru,<br />

Dunedin and Invercargill a number of years<br />

ago. Customer demand has continued<br />

to increase year upon year, and RDP has<br />

responded with specialised improvements to<br />

its delivery equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home<br />

heating diesel in each urban centre are<br />

drawn from the company’s extensive<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

vehicle fleet. This means they have the latest<br />

communication and GPS tracking technology<br />

on board, so the operations team always<br />

know where they are and how far away they<br />

are from their next delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

For all enquiries please phone<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 />

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd<br />

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

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor<br />

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 bill, without<br />

compromising on comfort, by only<br />

running the heating or cooling where<br />

you need it with Smart Zoning. Plus with<br />

runtime tracking, energy and airflow<br />

management technology, you can enjoy<br />

greater efficiency and savings from your<br />

family’s ducted heat pump.<br />

The AirTouch4 can also connect to<br />

Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />

Not every home is designed equal. Not<br />

every room is either. 60 % Temperatures can<br />

often fluctuate from one room to the next<br />

because of sunlight, room activity or other<br />

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 />
