EAT UP: Northwood sisters Emily, 9, and Georgia Grins, 11, taste test the popcorn with Dr Bugs popcorn manager Monique
Posthuma during a school holiday tour of the factory.
Popcorn-makers share kernels of wisdom
THE INSIDE scoop on how
popcorn is made is being dished
up to children at the Dr Bugs
popcorn factory in Casebrook.
A 45min factory tour was
being offered as a school holiday
programme at the family-owned
Christchurch company.
OPTION ONE
The children can watch
popcorn being made, taste it hot
off the production line, learn
what makes it ‘pop’ and make
and flavour their own popcorn.
The flavours include chilli,
chocolate, salsa, cinnamon,
cheddar and salt.
Sales and marketing manager
Reuben Posthuma said the
company loves the chance to
show people how popcorn is
made.
“Seeing how excited the kids
get makes the job ever better
. . . they seem to love watching
popcorn getting packed the
most,” he said.
“It’s a mesmerising machine
and kids just stand there
gobsmacked. I think the chance
to taste the popcorn straight off
the production line is a favourite
too.”
Worried about
your hearing?
• By Sophie Cornish
PEOPLE WITH concerns about
the downstream effects of the
Christchurch Northern Corridor
will have the chance to express
their views in a public meeting
next month.
Those who submitted through
the consultation process have
been invited to speak at the meeting
on August 6, in front of the
Papanui-Innes Community Board
and a traffic expert at the city
council chambers.
A report will also be presented
at the meeting, summarising the
feedback received from the consultation
process, which ran from
April 26 to June 4.
From there, an independent
traffic expert will make recommendations
in a draft Downstream
Effects Traffic Mitigation
Plan, which will outline any
remedial steps required to avoid
and mitigate adverse traffic effects
on nearby communities, once the
CNC opens.
The report will then go back to
the community board and will be
consulted on.

THERE WAS nothing lucky about
Cooper Moore’s world stars of junior golf
championship win in Las Vegas (see page
14).
The 10-year-old is one of Canterbury’s
most promising young golfers.
The Las Vegas event was played over three nine hole rounds
on a shortened course.
Cooper tied with a United States player after the three rounds
and a par got him home on the first play-off hole.
His father gave him good advice before the tournament: “Dad
just told me to hit it straight off the tee and give myself the best
chance to get on the green and that’s how it played out.”
Cooper would like to be like Jordan Spieth one day. That’s a
great goal to aim for.

Boards to meet over school zones
• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
THE Coastal-Burwood and
Papanui-Innes Community
Boards will meet with Ministry
of Education representatives
to discuss concerns it has with
the proposed zone changes for
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’
High Schools.
The meeting has been confirmed
for the middle of next
month.
MoE Canterbury
education
director Coralanne
Child
and principal
adviser Simon
Blatchford will
Kim Money be present at the
meeting.
It comes after the two schools,
which will relocate to a shared
campus at QE II Park next year,
are required to create a new
enrolment zone.
Students living in Shirley, Richmond,
Avonside, Edgeware and
parts of Linwood will still be able
to attend the schools, but only on
a ‘transitional arrangement’.
The addresses will only be
deemed ‘in zone’ for as long as
they contain the children currently
at the address and does
not include people who move in
to the area.
Prestons subdivision was not
included in the zone at all.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
said from her board’s point of
view, the main concern is the
Prestons subdivision, which has
been left out.
She said it is a huge thing shifting
two high schools and while
it will be a loss for the Shirley-
Papanui area, it will be a gain for
the Coastal-Burwood area.
Ms Money said the board has a
good relationship with the MoE
and the point is to have a discussion
about the changes
in the area.
She said it is the board’s goal
to have Prestons included in the
zoning.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
said the board doesn’t have a
definite idea of what it would like
to discuss yet.
“One of the issues that the
board members raised was
the time frame that the MoE
is putting on the temporary
extension of the boundaries,
so that is something we will be
raising with them. Other things
will probably come out of the

A site meeting is also planned

It is to discuss installing a

Update debate continues
• By Sophie Cornish
Mike
Davidson
COMMUNITY board member
Mike Davidson is still at
loggerheads with the city council
and New Zealand Transport
Agency over the Christchurch
Northern Corridor extension.
City council and NZTA said it
provided regular project updates
to residents and the Papanui-Innes
Community Board.
Cr Davidson slammed the city
council and New
Zealand Transport
Agency’s consultation
process for
the Northern
Arterial extension
and Cranford St
upgrade at a council
meeting on July
12, saying it was
“unbelievable and
unacceptable.”
The project will see Cranford St,
north of McFaddens Rd, upgraded
to four lanes and an upgrade to the
Cranford St, Innes Rd intersection.
Cr Davidson said he was
disappointed that for one of the
consultations in May, the Papanui-
Innes Community Board was only
informed about it one day before it
closed.
However, a NZTA spokeswoman
said last week that the CNC team
“provides regular project updates

process, saying residents and the community board were informed

board member Mike Davidson still believes “the ball was dropped.”
to affected residents along Cranford
St and also provides quarterly
briefings to the community board.”
City council manager planning
and delivery Lynette Ellis, said key
stakeholders, including the community
board were informed about
consultation.
But Cr Davidson says he doesn’t
believe that is correct.
“At no time was I, or other
members of the community board,
aware that was being consulted on
. . . I think we may have had a briefing
from staff earlier in the year
about some of the things that were
happening, which is totally different
to being informed that there was a
consultation under way.”
Cr Davidson said by not advertising
the consultation more
externally, like putting it on their
website, it limited people’s ability
to have a say, which is “not acceptable.”
“Majority of time the CNC
team have kept residents and the
community board up-to-date
with progress . . . but the ball was
dropped with this consultation,”
he said.

was acceptable for the

Any potentially affected
owners and occupiers of streets
identified in the report will

The recommendations
set out in the final plan will
then be reported through the

which will then develop a programme
to deliver individual
traffic projects.
Plans suggested by city
council to improve adverse
traffic effects include, a clearway
on Cranford St between
Innes Rd and Berwick St and
an intersection upgrade at
Forfar and Warrington Sts and
Barbadoes and Warrington

Bid to stop rats preying on butterflies
• By Sophie Cornish
SEVERAL ACTIONS are
being taken to stop rats eating
butterflies in Abberley Park, but
a butterfly enthusiast said the
problem is more widespread.
Vicky Steele has been studying
butterflies for more than 20
years and said there is evidence
of butterfly predation at Burnside
Park and Ernle Clark Reserve in
Somerfield also, but can’t 100 per
cent confirm it is rats.
“There are numbers missing
everywhere but it is hard to find
proof that it is rats, sometimes
weather or lack of food can contribute
but when wings are found
it is a clear indication they have
been eaten.”
“The evidence isn’t 100 per cent
conclusive but it’s really damning
. . . if its not rats, then I don’t
know what it is.”
No traps have been set in Burnside
Park. Some have been set in
Ernle Clark Reserve.
Ms Steele has found and collected
more than 1000 sets of
wings at the parks.
Wind grasses, where rats
usually live, have been removed
from Abberley Park and ‘tree
bands’ have been wrapped
around trees to avoid rats
climbing them.
New plantings will also be
introduced, which will provide

an additional food source for butterflies
and bees.
However, city council manager
community parks Al Hardy said
there is no evidence to support
that there is a rat problem at Abberley
Park, in spite of several actions
being taken by city council
and Tree Tech staff to reduce the
problem.
Rat traps have been used,
however, none contain poison
due to health and safety concerns
involving other animals and
children in the park.
Ms Steele said the bands appear
to be working in Abberley Park.
“Nothing has died since . . . it’s
the first time since May that has
happened,” she said.

A NUMBER of parking
changes have been approved by

No-stopping restrictions will
be installed on Helmores Lane to
prohibit the stopping or parking of
any vehicles at the north approach
to the Helmores Lane Bridge.
This is in order to stop issues with
vehicles having to manoeuvre 180
deg to exit the street. Some motorists
often believe vehicles can still
access the bridge and find trouble
turning around when they realise
they can’t.
Three-minute parking restrictions
will be installed on the
north-east side of Langdons

restriction will apply between
the hours of 8 to 9am and 2.15 to
3.15pm on school days only. This
is in order to reduce congestion issues
during Papanui High School
drop-off times.
Sixty-minute parking restrictions
will be installed outside
businesses on the north-east side
of Cranford St at its intersection
with Westminister St. This is to
reduce issues with unrestricted
parking spaces which limits
parking opportunities for people
wanting to visit the businesses.

Architectural award for Bishopdale Library
THE BISHOPDALE Library
has been recognised in an
architectural design awards,
where Canterbury was named
the most awarded region in New
Zealand.
On Friday, the Canterbury/
Westland ADNZ Resene
Architectural Design Awards
recognised residential, commercial,
alterations, interiors
and multi-use projects designed
by Architectural Designers New
Zealand members.
ADNZ chief executive Astrid
Andersen said that Canterbury
was the most awarded region in
the country, for a reason.
“We have a significant number
of entries across the country every
year, but it does seem that Canterbury
designers have an edge.
The opportunities many designers
were given after the earthquakes
was massive – it enabled them to
be part of a city rebuild and not
many designers can claim that,”
said Ms Andersen.
Bishopdale Library was awarded
the commercial-industrial architectural
design award, shared with
the Redcliffs Village Library.
Designed by Marcus Stufkens
of SC Architects Ltd, judges said
both libraries are “linchpins” of the
communities they reside and demonstrate
the possibilities for design
of shared community spaces.
The Bishopdale Library is a
node of activity in a community
rebuilding after the Christchurch
earthquakes. The stepping volume
of the building negotiates a relationship
between the street and
the park beyond.
Cymon Allfrey of Cymon Allfrey
Architects was a major winner
on the night, winning four regional
awards and one commended.
Mr Allfrey’s work on a home in
Glandovey Rd received praise.
The design features a pitched
roof plane that rests on a rectangular
pavilion spanning the
length of the house.
Judges said that the simple
forms come together in a considered
way, so the pitched roof feels
as though it is lightly floating on
the darker box of the building.
The Glandovey Rd home was a
joint winner of the residential new
home over 300m 2 architectural
design award along with a house
on Girvan St, designed by Nicholas
Mann of AO Architecture.
Papanui Townhouses designed
by Ben Brady of Linetype Architectural
received commendation
in the residential multi-unit
dwelling architectural design
award.
Mr Allfrey’s Glandovey home
also received commendation in
the residential interiors architectural
design award.
AWARD WINNERS: The Bishopdale Library and Papanui Townhouses received recognition in
the Canterbury/Westland ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Award ceremony.

Brownlee joins intersection battle
• By Sophie Cornish
ILAM MP Gerry Brownlee has
joined the battle to upgrade the
contentious Breens, Harewood
and Gardiners Rds intersection
and wants to see if the New
Zealand Transport Agency could
help fund it.
Mr Brownlee said upgrading
the intersection, which sees 10
lanes converging, to lights is
“pretty essential”. He is going to
contact NZTA to ask “what their
position is.”
“Putting in lights is pretty
essential, particularly when
you’ve got Breens Intermediate
so very close,” he said.
The former deputy leader of
the National Party met with city
councillor Aaron Keown last
week to discuss the matter.
Cr Keown has fought for an
upgrade to the intersection
for more than two years and
previously offered $100 to
anyone who could name another
intersection in the city without
lights that has more lanes
converging.
A video posted on Mr
Brownlee’s Facebook page last
week showed the pair standing at
the intersection.
Cr Keown said there was “a
bit too much push back from

Gardiners Rd intersection and wants to approach NZTA about

council staff, giving us every
reason why we shouldn’t have
traffic lights.”
During Long Term Plan
submissions earlier this year,
Mayor Lianne Dalziel suggested
lights might not be the best
option for the upgrade and that,
in some cases, installing lights
can often make an intersection
busier and, as a result, more
unsafe.
Mr Brownlee said within
minutes of standing at the
intersection, he witnessed “a
couple of near misses.”
He said there is a funding
formula for these types of
upgrades.
“Clearly the council have
decided that it’s not something
they want to recommend to
councillors,
which I think is
disappointing
and frankly
kind of misses
the point about
making the
intersection
more userfriendly
and
safer,” said Mr
Brownlee.
Lianne
Dalziel
“There is a formula that sees
some NZTA money available for
these sorts of things but I’m just
going to find out exactly what the
situation is by contacting them,”
he said.
A report with recommended
options for the upgrade will
go to the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board in
September.

open on Shirley
bus changes
CONSULTATION IS now open
on proposed changes to the 44
Shirley bus route extension.
As a result of the Christchurch
Northern Corridor project,
the Orbiter bus will no longer
be able to turn in and out of
Philpotts Rd in Mairehau. It will
be re-routed via Cranford St and
Innes Rd later this year.
These changes will affect some
residents living adjacent to Philpotts
Rd, such as residents and
staff of the Diana Issac Retirement
Village.
About 80 residents from the
retirement village presented a
500-signature petition to Environment
Canterbury, pleading
it to reconsider changing the
Orbiter route, which would see
their closest bus stop moved to
1km away.
The consultation involves
changes to the 44 Shirley route,
including travelling to and from
Innes Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield
Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers
Rd, Ranger St and Nancy Ave.
This will provide access to The
Palms and central city for those
residents. The extension would
take slightly longer.

Board talks
about issues
around trees in his ward
WE THE residents of the
garden city of Christchurch are
justifiably proud of our gardens,
plants and trees.
These aspects of nature
provide a unique character to
our city, together with streams,
rivers, lakes, coastline and, of
course, the hills and mountains.
Most of our reserves and
streets have trees which are
pleasant in nature. We are also
fortunate to have a good blend of
native and imported trees.
On the other hand, some trees
can become problematic for the
PROBLEM: Tall trees with falling debris are a cause of
frustration for some residents.
residents. At the Waimaero –
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, more than
once we have heard residents
who are unhappy with the
trees at or near their property.
Without an exception, these
residents are tree and natureloving
people, and law-abiding
residents. Their concerns
include trees growing too tall
and casting large shadows over
houses, depriving residents
of sunshine (particularly in
winter), too many acorns and
other debris falling, risk to those
walking or cycling under the
trees and so on.
In one case, the resident is so
concerned that they are seriously
considering moving out of their
home of 40 years.
The protection of trees by the
city council is quite a complex
subject. We have ‘heritage trees’,
‘protected trees’ and ‘normal
trees’ among us.
Many residents feel that many
trees have outgrown
their purpose (pun intentional)
and need to be addressed
effectively.
They feel that the whole issue
should be looked at in totality,
not just in isolation about
protection of trees.
On the other hand, we
sometimes hear stories about
residents taking things into their
own hands, and doing things
against the law.
Of course, we don’t
want this to happen in our
neighbourhoods, do we?
What comes first: The welfare
of residents or the protection of
trees?
Something to ponder on. I
invite your views on this subject
to enable a discussion.

Readers respond to a story
about Northwood residents
continuing their battle to
upgrade the intersection of
Main North Rd, Northwood
Boulevard and Radcliffe
Rd, which they believe is
dangerous
Sue Rennie – The only thing
wrong with this intersection is
the drivers who don’t follow the
road rules pertaining to traffic
lights.
Kain Woodham – Do what
they always do when it arrives in
the too-hard basket . . . throw in a
roundabout. That’s right like the
roundabout on SH1 ‘motorway’
Pegasus. Christchurch has some
of the best drivers and some of
the worst drivers I’ve ever seen.
There is nothing wrong with this
set of lights, it’s just too much
thinking for bad drivers who like
to run reds and shouldn’t be on
our roads. I’m still wondering
how these people get their licence
in Christchurch, seen some
shockers lately.

apparently that is quite difficult
for most people. If everyone
does this there would be far less

there is no arrow. Maybe people

Global recognition for Burnside student
SCHOOLS
• By Sophie Cornish
BURNSIDE HIGH student
E Wen Wong continues to show
her talents to the world, finishing
fifth at the Future Problem
Solving world championships in
the United States.
When she saw her result at the
championships in Wisconsin, she
got a “complete shock”.
“It took me a while to comprehend,”
she said.
E Wen previously competed in
the competition in 2016, finishing
sixth. She said this year’s competition
was more challenging.
When E Wen returned from
the championships last month,
she started up a community
problem-solving group at her
school. She is training a group of
year 9 students so they can qualify
for the national competition
HAPPY RESULT: E Wen Wong
said she was in “complete

she had finished fifth at the

championships.
next year. The year 11 student is
familiar with international relations,
recently attending a New
Zealand Model United Nations
event in Wellington.
The event involved four days
of workshops, debates, guest
speakers and a taste of life as a
diplomat.
E Wen is in her second year as
one of 10 UN youth high school
ambassadors for the Canterbury
region.
However, her talents aren’t
just limited to competitions and
conferences. Earlier this year
she started designing a robot to
detect plastic in beaches, rivers
and the ocean.
She has received support from
experts at NIWA, ThisDesign
and Limitless who have shown

interest in the project. The robot
is called BIRD – which stands for
Biomimicry Identification Robot
Device – and is also shaped like
a bird.
The plastic can be tagged
and linked to a crowd-sourced
clean-up app that guides rubbish
collectors to dispose of it.
E Wen has been working on
the designs for her robot through
the advocacy organisation she set
up at school, P.S Our Beaches,
which is spreading awareness
about the environment and climate
change.
After school, she wants to
attend university and study a
combination of subjects she is
passionate about, including meteorology,
international law and
environmental law.

ALLENVALE School students

Members of the student council
visited Christchurch Hospital’s

More than 100 booties, hats

Assistant principal Linda King
said students were required to
gather the knitting and take it to
the hospital as part of their community

“It teaches the students one
of our values of generosity. It
teaches them that there’s always
other people out there who need
a hand and some help.”

World Cup call-up for
former Rangi student
as persistence pays off
• By Jacob Page
GOALKEEPER Una Foyle has
had the last laugh over the boys
who wouldn’t pass the ball to
her.
The former Rangi Ruru Girls’
School student, who plays for
Coastal Spirit, was a shock
call-up for the New Zealand
under-20 football World Cup in
France next month.
She joins fellow Coastal Spirit
teammates, defender Rebecca
Lake and utility Talia Herman-
Watt. Watt is the non-travelling
reserve.
Foyle has made the most of
her ability between the goal
posts after making the move to
the position five years ago. “The
boys I was playing with just
stopped passing the ball to me
so my coach put me back in goal
and I guess it’s worked out,” she
said.
Foyle missed the cut for the
first New Zealand under-20 wider
training squad at the start of
the year and thought her chance
had vanished. However, she was
called into the training squad for
the final camp a fortnight ago
and won the right to pack her
bags for France.
“It was a massive shock and
surprise to be named after missing
out initially in the wider
squad,” she said.
“I just kept sending (the coach)
videos of what I was doing down
here and how I was going and I
guess it worked.”
Lake, 19, has been a regular in
the national age-group set-up.
“This is a reward for all of the
early morning sessions and the
late nights,” she said.
“I’ve played against most of
the girls I’m now teammates
with, so at least there will be
familiarity there,” the former
Marian College student said.
Both Foyle and Lake split their
time between Coastal Spirit’s top
women’s side and the 17th grade
boys team.
Under new Coastal Spirit football
development manager Gary
Bennett, the club is making a big
push so girls and women’s football
can prosper next season.
“I have a real passion for girls
and women’s football and have
been heavily involved in it for a
number of years, particularly in
the United States and Canada,”
he said.
“We would love to see girls of
all ages and ability at Coastal,
from mini-football, juniors,
youth through to senior women.
We are particularly looking
to strengthen our numbers to
support our successful women’s
premier league team for next
season,” he said.

Elmwood pupil makes his
mark on world golf stage
• By Jacob Page
ELMWOOD NORMAL School
golfer Cooper Moore has won the
nine and 10-year-old world stars
of junior golf championship in Las
Vegas.
The Russley club player was
one of three Canterbury golfers
to compete in the international
tournament which finished on
Friday.
Everglades golfer Ethan Lam
finished tied for 11th in the same
age-group, while his older brother
Hayden finished seventh in the
11 to 12-year-old boys grade.
The tournament also had golfers
from Thailand, the United States,
Malaysia and England competing
in it.
The players have three nine-hole
rounds on a shortened course
and Cooper finished tied for first
on one over par. Cooper won the
event in a play-off after he earned
a par and his opponent bogeyed
the hole.
“Dad just told me to hit it
straight off the tee and give myself
the best chance to get on the green
and that’s how it played out,”
Cooper said.
It is Cooper’s first international
tournament win since he started
playing the game when he was
five-years-old. He said he admires
three-time major winner, US
golfer Jordan Spieth, and hopes
to one day play on the PGA tour.
Spieth drifted out of contention
and finished tied
for ninth at the British
Open on Monday.
Canterbury Golf
development manager
Rachel Thow
said Cooper had been
progressing well with
his golf game. “His handicap
has gone from 22 to 11
over the past 12 months
which is impressive,”
she said.
The trio are part
of the Canterbury
Golf Xcelerator
squad in which
16 promising
golfers
between the
ages of 10 and
16 train under
coach Rodney
Yee.
Cooper will keep
hitting balls during he

keep improving.

“Australians are far more

Ellis changed her coach and

improving her foot position.
“The changes I made helped

Ellis is hoping to become

FOCUS ON HEALTH
The tree of LIFE
New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times, new
research has shown that neurons can grow
back with the right conditions and that a
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to
assist in this. The implications for stroke
recovery are obvious, but researchers also
know many of us suffer from undetected
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time
slowly reduce
our cognitive
function.
TEBONIN
is prescribed
worldwide
as a natural
supportive agent
for a healthy brain
and cognitive
function.
It supports
healthy mental
performance,
concentration,
focus, alertness,
motor function
and to help with
many conditions
including tinnitus
(ringing and noise
in the ears), vertigo and normal balance.
TEBONIN improves micro-circulation
and helps the blood flow reach those
critical places it needs to get. It is a potent
anti-oxidant and makes the red blood
cells more pliable and capillary walls more
flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small
tablet contains a highly concentrated
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is
the only Gingko biloba extract shown
to activated all areas of the brain and is
considered the gold standard in Gingko.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.
TEBONIN and further information
is available from the Natural Health
Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural
Therapy in New Brighton. PH: 388-5757.

The importance of
good blood pressure?
Blood Pressure is an
indicator of cardiovascular
as well as overall health.
Healthy blood flow is vital for
a healthy body as the blood
plasma transports nutrients,
hormones, metabolic waste,
oxygen and CO2 throughout
the body. An area in the brain
keeps check on blood flow
to ensure health of all cells
and the organs they make up.
If blood flow is reduced the
brain will try to normalise
blood flow by adjusting the
heart strength, frequency
(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood
vessels all via the central nervous system.
Over a period of time the blood pressure
may increase due to the deterioration of
blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P
is not ideal and is considered a major risk
factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure
and heart failure. Even moderate elevation
of B/P is considered a major reason for
shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain
our B/P in the normal range our overall
health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The
upper figure) is when the heart contracts
and pushes blood around the body. Ideally
at rest this should be between 100 to 120.
The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the
pressure in the arteries between beats and
ideally at rest this should be between 60
to 70.
BOOST BRAIN
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.
Studies on TEBONIN Show:
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal
balance.
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.
It has been found in around 90% of
cases high blood pressure is caused by
an increase in the resistance to blood
flow in the blood vessels. It is believed
inflammation, plaque build-up and
stiffness of the blood vessels are major
reasons for this increased resistance.
Checking our blood pressure on a
regular basis allows us to adjust our diet,
supplements and lifestyle and to see the
benefits in our B/P readings.
Blood Pressure monitors, natural
supplements and further information
on how to optimise your overall health
and B/P naturally is available from the

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
and wellbeing.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the joint in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
HIP PAIN
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
will know if it is going to work for them or
not, without financial commitment.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves whic had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Cave Rock

expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

A W OLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Gart hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an

Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the challenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher

Board chairman Mike Mora

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the

IT COULD be some time before
charges are laid in relation to the
fatal hit-and-run in Dallington.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg
Cottam said yesterday the vehicle
involved in the crash last week
was still being examined.
He said there was still a lot of
work to do to gather all the information
and finish police inquiries
before any charges would be laid.
“They can take some time,” he
said.
“We’ve got six months to lay
charges in relation to traffic offending
– it certainly won’t take
that long.”
Steffan Pearce-
Loe (right), 30, was
hit by a vehicle
near the Gayhurst
Rd bridge while
walking his dogs at
about 2.30am last
Thursday.
He died in hospital
from his injuries on Friday.
His funeral was held on Tuesday.
Police found the vehicle
involved, which had damage
consistent with the crash, on Saturday.
A detective saw it parked
up a driveway.
The vehicle’s owner, who was
driving, has been interviewed by
police.
Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam
remained tight-lipped about
the driver. •Turn to page 6
