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 />

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 />

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 />
COMPETING: The cyclists and their supporters: Irienne and<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
