Road design, education need more attention ANDREW KING

School principals have supported a call for lowering speed limits to 30km/h on surrounding streets. Papanui High School, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School say speed limits should be reduced to keep students safe. It comes after the Green Party said last week that vehicle speeds around schools should be lowered, similar to the recent

central city changes. Green Party transport spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter said it would “save lives” but also encourage more students to walk and cycle. Last week the Nor’West News reported schools in the area had low numbers of students cycling. Papanui High School principal Jeff Smith (right) said a lower speed limit should be done as

soon as possible. “Being close to Northlands [shopping centre] we have the issue of significant traffic flow.” Any formal reduction of which vehicles were allowed around entries and exits to school would help support student safety, for both pedestrians and cyclists, he said. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School will have a temporary 40km/h speed limit installed in April and principal Sandra Hastie said

anything that will improve the safety for young people should be looked into. “We shouldn’t be looking at speed in isolation however, it’s at least getting a conversation underway which is a good thing,” she said. “Better education for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians is one, better pavement and road design is another.” Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board deputy chairman

David Cartwright said lowering the speed limit is a good start but should not be considered as the “silver bullet”. “More attention around road design and identifying where the high risk areas would go a long way to solving the problem,” he said.

Facebook us on facebook.com/riseupchristchurch/ PARKED CAR HIT A woman in her 60s was injured after the car she was driving hit a parked car in Bishopdale on Sunday around noon. St John sent an ambulance and a rapid response to help the woman there, and she was taken to hospital for further treatment.

ANDREW KING

City councillor Ali Jones and community board member Aaron Keown have clashed once again, during a heated social media exchange. But both say their difference of opinion has not divided the Shirley-Papanui Community Board. Last week, the two squared-off on Facebook after Mr Keown said he was outraged over the city council putting a listening device on a resident’s property without their knowledge. But Cr Jones told off Mr Keown telling him it was a genuine mistake by a staff member. “For God’s sake Aaron. Stop crapping in your own nest . . . it should never have happened, it’s not policy for things like this to happen, all devices have been recalled, staff retrained. Apology has been made to residents. . .” This is not the first time the two have clashed. Cr Jones slammed comments Mr Keown made on two separate issues in October: cycleways and sex workers. Mr Keown criticised the slow

progress of cycleways and the city council’s lack of action around a bylaw requiring sex workers to be licensed. Cr Jones told the Nor’West News she had had enough with Mr Keown’s “grandstanding”. “I have put up with his BS for the last three years and I have had a gutsful of it,” she said. In the post she tagged in fellow community board members, chairman Mike Davidson, Jo Bryne, and city councillor Pauline Cotter saying: “Here we go again!” Inspite of this, board members assured the Nor’West News there

MAN ARRESTED A male in his late teens has been arrested in relation to the stabbing of two people on Warrington St, St Albans at about 3.30am on Saturday. There is no connection between the male and thepeople injured. The injured male has been released from hospital but the female is still in care after surgery. A knife has been recovered and no one else is being sought in relation to the incident.

was no internal division. Mr Keown said he has no problem continuing to work with Cr Jones but said he will not shy away from issues he believes need addressing. “I will always try to play the ball, not the man . . . I criticise the way things are done not who is doing them,” he said. Cr Jones said she was happy to hear he was still willing to work with her. “I don’t hold grudges . . . it is all about finding the right forum to progress things constructively,” she said.

Birthing – it’s about respect City councillor Ali Jones writes this week’s opinion piece on women disadvantaged by the closing of the Burwood Birthing Unit after the Valentine’s Day earthquake. Should there be more options available to to mothers who want to deliver their baby away from hospitals? Tell us your views. Email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi

This week I was thrilled to hear that a second petition has been launched to reopen the Burwood Birthing Unit after the Canterbury District Health Board closed it following the Valentine’s Day shake. Primary birthing facilities are important when it comes to women choosing where to have their baby. If women don’t want to have their baby at home or go into a full-on hospital situation (called a tertiary hospital), then a primary unit like Burwood is perfect. St George’s is another hospital option, however, it is often full. The CDHB says women have the choice of Rangiora or Lincoln, which is up to 45min away and petrol isn’t cheap.

SOAP BOX Additionally, for women who want to be confident in their birthing plan, it’s a stressor they don’t need and goodness knows women particularly in the east have had enough to deal with over the last five years. Some choose Christchurch Women’s Hospital as it is central but CWH is already dealing with thousands more women that it was built to cope with. It’s also for women who may need extra resources (not cheap) which is why primary birthing units for well women who have had uncomplicated pregnancies are the best option – health-wise and cost-wise. In fact, the CDHB’s website says: “Women who give birth at home or in a birthing centre or small maternity unit are more likely to have a normal birth than those who give birth in hospital.” If you don’t need to

be in a big hospital, it’s better for you and your baby if you aren’t there! But clearly those choices are being eroded. No-one knows if, or when, a Christchurch primary birthing unit will go ahead, something previously supported by the CDHB. It was to be part of a new health hub on the site of the old Christchurch Women’s Hospital. A brilliant idea and the least the district health board should be providing for our women and their babies. I must ‘declare’ that I have been working with the NZ College of Midwives as their media/PR adviser for more than 13 years but this soapbox is unrelated to that. I am a woman, a mother and I promote important women’s issues whenever I can. I have an incredible passion for what the college and their members do, supporting women to bring new life into the world; it’s a profession and a part of the health sector that deserves far more respect than it gets. Actually women and mothers generally could do with a bit more respect, while we are at it.

Community service recognised Nominations for the annual Community Service Awards and Youth Service Awards are open. This year Fendalton-Waimairi, Spreydon-Heathcote, RiccartonWigram and Hagley-Ferrymead wards are looking for community members who have spent their time volunteering in the area. The community boards want to recognise people for their community contribution, from coaching kids sports teams to

caring for community gardens. Each community board considers all the nominations put forward for the Community Service Awards and choose who they think is most deserving of the award. Riccarton-Wigram and Spreydon-Heathcote community boards also want to celebrate youth volunteering in the areas through the Youth Service Awards. The award focuses on

people under the age of 25 who have helped in their community. City council customer and community general manager Mary Richardson said it was the perfect opportunity to give recognition to those helping and expecting nothing in return. Applications for community service and youth service awards are available from city council libraries and nominations are open until April 8.

WOMAN COLLAPSED A woman was taken to Christchurch Hospital on Tuesday with moderate injuries after she collapsed in Edgeware. St John sent an ambulance to the scene in St Albans Park at 12.56pm. The woman in her 20s was taken to hospital for further treatment. NO STOPPING RESTRICTIONS APPROVED Traffic heading north at the intersection of Cranford St and Edgeware Rd will have longer to merge after changes proposed by city council staff were approved by the Shirley-Papanui Community Board. The changes will cost $17,000 and include the centre island being shortened and no stopping lines painted on both sides of Cranford St heading north. It will provide more time for vehicles to merge heading north. ALLEGED ASSAULT A man was taken to Christchurch Hospital with minor injuries after an alleged assault in Bryndwr last Tuesday. Police also attended the incident and St John sent an ambulance to the scene on Truman Rd around 9.45pm. The man was assessed at the scene but was taken to hospital for further treatment.

FUNDING APPROVED The Shirley-Papanui Community Board has approved a grant of $600 to help Papanui High School students Georgia Saunders, Jazmine Tufau, Jess Brocket and Emma Fellow attend the Secondary School Futsal Nationals. It also approved $300 for St Andrew’s College student Kate Elizabeth Cockerton-Holmes towards attending the New Zealand School of Dance National Scholar programme. TWO IN HOSPITAL AFTER CRASHES Two people were taken to Christchurch Hospital after two separate crashes on Thursday. A man in his 60s was taken to hospital with moderate injuries after a crash between two cars at the intersection of Logistics Drive and Sawyers Arms Rd. St John sent an ambulance to the scene around 9.30am. They assessed the man at the scene and took him to hospital for further treatment. A woman was taken to Christchurch Hospital with minor injuries after a car crash in St Albans. St John sent an ambulance to the scene on Westminster St around 3pm and took the woman in her 30s to hospital for further treatment.

David Harris

Land-Rover stalwart keeps Fifty years ago Casebrook resident, and life member of the Canterbury Land Rovers Owners Club , David Harris took off in his Land-Rover with a bunch of other enthusiasts on a pioneering trip from Hawarden to Lees Valley. This year he did the same trip with the same club – he was the only original. He talks to Andrew King Hi David tell me where you grew up? I was born and bred here in Christchurch and I am still here. We moved to Parnassus for 1218 months for work but I have been here most of my life. I am now retired but I was a joiner by trade. I still do a bit of it every now and again. What high school did you go to? I went to Papanui High School. It was a good school, no problems. Do you still catch-up with your old mates from school? Unfortunately, most of them are no longer with us. I had a couple of relatives at school that I still see. Most of the people I get around with are from the

Canterbury Land Rover Owners Club and of course my kids and grand kids. So you have a couple of kids? Yeah, we have three boys and

seven grandchildren. My sons have all been in and out of the club at various times. They all live here in Canterbury. We just welcomed another grandchild into the family before Christ-

mas. One of the grand-kids and my son were in at the same time giving us three generations in the club for a brief period. What do your kids do? My eldest son works at the

Air Force Museum, the middle son works at Fulton Hogan and the youngest owns his own company called Container Waste. Okay so the burning question, what is the attraction to Land-Rovers? Well I was always into my hunting and fishing so it was a natural choice of vehicle because they can get you that wee bit further than a normal car. I saw an ad in the paper to join a newly-formed Land-Rover club and thought that sounds a bit like me. The rest is history. When did you first take a drive in a Land-Rover? I brought my first one in 1963 when I was around 23. I did 100,000-odd miles in it. Toured the North Island in it. I brought it so I could get further into the hills or near lakes or rivers for hunting and fishing. I had it for 27 years. Then I got a Range Rover, which my wife, Gale, wrote off. How did she do that? She was just driving along and it tipped over, (laughing), but that is just what happens when you are out four-wheel-driving. Was that her first crash? Yes, first and only one.

club rolling for 50 years So tell me about the Canterbury Land Rover Owners Club, I hear you have been involved since the beginning? Well, we have just completed a trip we did 50 years ago when the club first started and I was the only one who was on both trips. The trip was from Hawarden and Lees Valley and was very difficult back then. It was real pioneering stuff. So how did if feel to get back up there 50 years later, did all the old memories come back? Oh yes, we were looking around and trying to remember all the old landmarks. We also did it on the 25th anniversary of the club. When we were up there this time I spoke to one of the farmers and he can remember, as a kid, us coming through their property. Which would have been a big deal for them back then. Where is the craziest place you have taken your LandRover? Well, I have virtually been through all the back country in the South Island. Central Otago is a beautiful place to get lost in. And the West Coast, that can be rugged (laughing). Having quite a lot of members we could

NOW AND THEN: David and Gale Harris (left) return to tackle the same trek Mr Harris and his pioneering mates did in 1966. That track was much rougher and tougher in 1966 and a few got stuck while trying to negotiate it.

get all round the place with the contacts we had. We now have to sign waivers to go on property now, it has become a lot more complicated. I am not easily frightened. There are not many places I wouldn’t drive in, within reason. How many are in the club? We had 200 at one point which made us the biggest Land-Rover club in the country. But we lost a few after the 2011 earthquake for some reason so now we have between 140-150 still in the club. A lot of people wouldn’t

understand the physical nature of doing this kind of thing would they? No, you are not just sitting in a vehicle. You are using low range all the way up and down. You thrash around in the cab and take some pretty solid bumps sometimes. It is quite hard on the body. My newer vehicle has much nicer suspension. It is a mental game also, you have to pick you line and be smart about how you attack a hill or ridge line. I have learnt a few tricks over the years to keep myself out of trouble.

So how many made the reunion trip from Hawarden to Lees Valley? There were 17 vehicles and over 30 people so it was a big crew, which is good because you can help each other out and have fun together. Is it still just Land-Rovers? No, we changed that about 10 years into it. Now we have all types of vehicles. Did you have any positions in the club? Pretty much everything except for secretary (laughing), I’m not much of writer. I have been

EQC UPDATE

KEEPING YOU INFORMED | MARCH 2016

New approach to February 2016 quake claims The Earthquake Commission (EQC) will be drawing on lessons learned in previous Canterbury earthquakes to assess and settle claims from the February 2016 earthquakes. The plan is to speed up assessments, where possible, by calling customers to get all the information we need to desktop assess and cash settle their claim, EQC General Manager, Customer and Claims, Trish Keith says. “We won’t necessarily be sending an assessor to the home, except where there is extensive damage, the claim is complex or a customer’s circumstances require it. “EQC will cash settle most of the claims to enable customers to get onto repairs quickly. We’re doing this because we are hearing from customers that their damage is largely cosmetic building repairs and contents,” Mrs Keith says. For those customers already in the Canterbury Home Repair and land programmes who lodge new claims from the February earthquakes, EQC will deal with their claims at

the same time. In this way, EQC will not slow the existing work programmes down due to the new event. EQC’s approach builds on the lessons we have learnt from Canterbury, Cook Strait, and Eketahuna earthquakes. It also reflects that EQC already has a lot of information about Canterbury customers. “The new process is being piloted with a small group of customers before EQC starts rolling it out in earnest, and early feedback has been very positive.” Mrs Keith says. “We can use information we already know about our Christchurch customers to make settling the latest claims smoother and faster,” Mrs Keith says. “Our goal is to make EQC easy to do business with.” There is still time for customers to lodge a claim. Customers whose home suffered damage in the 14 February earthquake have until 16 May 2016 to lodge a claim. The deadline for lodging a claim for the 29 February earthquake is 30 May 2016.

Ethan Rimell from CB Civil & Drainage shows Sandy Ditchburn the CCTV footage of her drains at her Aranui home.

Drainage assessments underway EQC has started rolling out its assessment programme for sewer and stormwater pipes suspected of having earthquake damage. The programme is to ensure a consistent standard of assessment of all sewer and stormwater drains for drainage claims. Customers with unsettled drainage claims will be contacted progressively throughout 2016 to arrange an assessment of their drains, General Manager, Customer and Claims, Trish Keith says. The assessments will be carried out whether or not an inspection has been done

previously, at no cost to homeowners. The inspection programme will also include properties where new drainage claims are lodged during 2016. Assessment information has been provided in the past by drainlayers contracted by homeowners and EQC. The presentation and the level of detail provided varied significantly. In some cases assessments have not included a recommended repair strategy and estimated cost of repair. “That’s meant that in the past we’ve had to go back to drainlayers to get the level of information we’ve needed to settle drainage claims, which has added unnecessary time and hassle for customers,” Mrs Keith says. “The new assessment process – which was trialled successfully with drainlayers at the end of last year – offers much more guidance for drainlayers. The new process should ensure the reports are consistent and capture all earthquake damage,” Mrs Keith says.

“Some of Canterbury’s largest drainlaying firms, all of which are licensed with the New Zealand Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board, will carry out the assessments.” The firms will have a certifying drainlayer – the highest qualification available – to oversee the work of licensed drainlayers. A CCTV recording of the inside of drains will identify any earthquake damage. This information will be used to develop a recommended repair strategy and estimated cost of repair. EQC will use all this information to determine cash settlement. “We will provide additional support for customers who have a genuine need for help in hiring drainage contractors after they have received their cash settlement,” Mrs Keith says. “If further damage is discovered during the repair process customers can contact EQC. If we agree the damage is earthquake-related, an additional payment to cover extra costs may be made.”

Learning from the past. Building for the future.

Dr Laurie Johnson gave the keynote speech at last Friday’s Seismics forum.

EQC was a major sponsor of the fifth Seismics and the City forum in Christchurch last Friday. The forum brought together public, private and community representatives to voice their views on Shaping Canterbury’s Future Now. This year’s emphasis on collaboration, regeneration and innovation was reflected in the EQC’s contribution, including the participation of key speakers. Urban planner Dr Laurie Johnson (Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Centre, UC Berkeley)

offered tangible cases of post-disaster downtown regeneration in other centres to stimulate discussion on realistic goals for Christchurch in the next five years. Dr Johnson has visited Christchurch many times since 2011. She said the great many aftershocks had “reset” the clock for some parts of the community and its infrastructure time and time again, but that Christchurch people should take heart in the betterment and transformation taking place.

“Homes are not simply being patched up. There is a great deal of betterment going into the reconstruction of the housing stock, the infrastructure, and the commercial sector.” Dr Johnson urged Regenerate Christchurch to continue to work toward completion of the vision that central Christchurch is a great place for work, living and play. You can see Dr Johnson’s full 16 minute Seismics in the City presentation at www.eqc.govt.nz

EQC is working out the settlement amounts for around 4,400 customers who were told their properties qualify for Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage. “We have made good progress so far but there is still more we need to do before we can start making any payments,” says EQC Head of Canterbury Land Settlement, Keith Land. “This work includes determining pre-quake property valuations and the amount of the reduction in market value for affected properties as the direct result of ILV land damage. We are also investigating whether some properties with ILV land damage can be feasibly repaired. In these cases, a settlement based on repair cost may be available.” EQC expects to start settling ILV customers in mid 2016. “We recognise that our customers have been waiting a long time for ILV settlements, but this is the first time this type of land damage has been recognised as insured damage, so the settlements involve ground-breaking work which takes time. “We want to make sure we have robust valuation assessments in place and give our customers quality information,” says Mr Land. Settlements for ILV land damage will be made by cash payment, which is how EQC has been settling all land claims to date. The cash settlement for ILV land damage will be based on one of two approaches: repair cost, or reduction in market value of the property due to ILV land damage – also called Diminution of Value (DOV). “We are establishing which properties can have their ILV land damage feasibly repaired, and which can’t, thereby require settlement on the basis of DOV. It’s important to note that each property is considered on its own merits. Each property has unique characteristics, which means that one-size-fits-all or an automated settlement approach is inappropriate,” says Mr Land. ILV land damage settlements on the basis of repair cost Where, for example, the house needs to be rebuilt, EQC will likely settle the ILV land damage on the basis of repair cost if: — there is a feasible repair method for the repair of the ILV land damage on the property; — the customer intends to carry out the repair within a reasonable period of time using that method; — the land has not been sold since the earthquakes. ILV land damage settlements on the basis of DOV Based on what is known to date, EQC expects that most ILV properties will be settled on the basis of DOV. This is because there will generally not be a feasible repair to ILV damage where the house has remained in place after the earthquakes. Furthermore, if an ILV property was repaired or rebuilt without any repair of the ILV land damage, it is likely the settlement will be based on DOV. The settlement will also be based on DOV if the property has been sold since the earthquakes. “Generally the DOV approach and settlements for what is another non-visible land damage type will be similar to how EQC is handling Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) claims. “For those properties where we are investigating settlement based on repair cost, we will contact customers in two months’ time to inform them of the potential to repair the ILV damage on the property, and see whether they intend to repair the land,” says Mr Land. EQC expects to complete ILV settlements, together with other outstanding land settlements, by the end of this year. FOR MORE INFORMATION on ILV land damage visit the

highlights Scholarship Success

Mr Holstein Welcome to the new school year and a special welcome to all new students, families and staff members who start their association with the Burnside community in 2016. I look forward to meeting you all as the year progresses. My aims as Principal are to: • Provide an environment where staff, students and their parents/caregivers feel connected, valued and respected so they enjoy their experience with Burnside High School • To work alongside the staff and students, to build on our strengths, and to enhance our reputation as a highly-regarded, successful and sought-after school.

Samuel Park

Emma Richardson

Yet again our 2015 students achieved excellent results in NCEA and Scholarship. Our 2015 Dux Samuel Park achieved Scholarships in all his subjects (Accounting, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics and Statistics). He was also successful in achieving an Outstanding Scholar in Statistics. Samuel is now attending Auckland University

studying Engineering. Emma Richardson also achieved excellent results, receiving the Outstanding Top Scholar Award in New Zealand for Printmaking. She is now attending The University of Auckland Elam School of Fine Arts where she has embarked on a Bachelor of Fine Art.

Sporting Achievements

After one year I have a real sense of the Burnside values, and the ethos at the heart of the school’s culture; a culture based on personal excellence and care for others. It is this culture that underpins Burnside’s success. I am determined that we make a habit of our school ethos: that we treat each other with respect and are inclusive, that we have pride in our school and community, that we are loyal, that we strive for excellence together for the good of Burnside High School. That is my challenge. ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit’. (Joe Schmidt, Coach of the Ireland Rugby Team and former New Zealand school teacher) I look forward to another successful year on so many fronts: in academic work, in cultural activities, in the arts, in sport, in leadership, and in service. I am inspired by the young people in this school and feel privileged to be the Principal. Phil Holstein, Principal

THE PERFECT BLEND F

inding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate, fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realise. Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make every day dishes more healthy and delicious. Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 per cent

mushrooms can enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients, and trim total calories and fat intake. The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. If using ground meat for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture, using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve or quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry. Practice your blending technique with these recipes and

Daniels Rd is now a typical residential suburban street. Seventy years ago it was semi-rural and unpaved, with only six houses in the street that had first been mentioned in local directories as early as 1901. In 1946, Sue Winter’s family (her parents and five children) had moved onto a small seven-and-a-half acre dairy farm at what was then 40 Daniels Rd. Sue’s earliest memories were of the primitive nature of the house on the property. She remembers that ‘water had to be boiled in the copper and carried through to the old tin bath.’ The first time the plug was pulled, the water ran straight under the floor. It was not surprising that the house was damp and that she and her brother both developed bronchial complaints. Sue’s father leased more land from his neighbours; this effectively more than doubled the size of the farm. These paddocks were covered in thistles and

EARLY DAYS: Sue Winter outside the original farm house at 40 Daniels Rd in 1951.

the older children were called on to spend their school holidays attacking this unwanted crop with sickles. Farm production was diversified by growing cauliflowers on a large scale. Sue recalls that ‘we had to snap the top leaf and fold it over the cauli head to prevent it going yellow in the sun.’ Later we had to cut them and load them for the market. “I used to drive the tractor when I was very young,” she said. The small farm was also as self-sufficient as

possible. Fowls and ducks were kept, Sue’s mother was famous for her duck egg cream sponges, and the fruit from a large number of trees was bottled. Initially, the farm was part of the town milk supply system but in 1955, her father purchased a herd of saanen goats. Their milk was sold to those who were allergic to cow milk and to others who had asthma or eczema. Sue recalled that the goat milk was never formally marketed but that word of mouth was sufficient to attract customers. Sue’s father later took a part time job at the Sanitarium factory in Papanui to supplement the farming income. Sue has mixed feelings about being brought up on the farm. She reflected that when her classmates at Papanui Primary School discussed the exciting places and activities they had enjoyed in the long Christmas break, that ‘I sat quietly listening as I had nothing to contribute.’ “We did not do holidays or outings,” she said.

Effective Natural Skincare that is Ideal for Problem Skin

ooGoo produce a full range of safe, natural skin and scalp products that are especially suited for those with problem skin. In these products they only use top quality edible ingredients that are known to be highly effective and good for our skin. These active ingredients are only used in correct concentrations for effective results and not just added to look good on the label. Because the MooGoo range is so safe and yet so effective is probably why it was rated the number one most preferred brand of non-prescription (non-steroid) creams for those suffering from problem skin in Australia. It is also recommended by many medical practitioners in Australia. As MooGoo products are safe and natural they are ideal for long term use from babies to adults. They are an effective alternative or follow-up treatment to chemically-based ointments. Although MooGoo products are

or 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 to. 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 activate 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, We are Always Happy to Help!

A gas fire, a woodburner and a heatpump augment the home’s natural warmth, while excellent indoor/outdoor flow ensures you’ll make the most of the fabulous grounds. Out here, the lush lawns and sun-drenched entertaining areas are framed by sculpted hedges and mature trees, with tandem garaging and garden sheds contributing further appeal. Of course, it’s the zoning for some of Christchurch’s most sought-after schools that will be the highlight for many, including both Boys’ High and Girls’ High as well as Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary. Our owners have cherished their time in this privileged spot and leave with many happy memories. With the family gone and the next chapter in their lives beckoning ,they are now determined to downsize,

offering their property to the market with genuine commitment and resolve. Interest is sure to be high and immediate action is advised. Open days dates: Saturday and Sunday 12.30pm to 1.15pm. See you at the open homes or call me today for a private viewing appointment – contact Deb Harvey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 220 6565.

o ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. SmoothAir offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements. VEnTiLATion This includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. it is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy

re you struggling with the heat of Summer or wanting to get organised for Winter? With the ever changing weather patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility of being able to heat and cool which is an advantage no other appliance can offer. This represents great value for your investment as you can use it all year round. The team at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool this Summer either at home or work. Enviro Master supplies, installs and services all the leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs. We currently have savings up to $600 off the recommended retail price on selected models. Would you like to maximise the number of days you can use your swimming pool? Heating your pool can do this and one of the most cost effective ways is with a water heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply, install and service you swimming pool heat pump providing you with a comfortable, extended swimming season. Servicing your heat pump is extremely important to ensure that it is working

as effectively and efficiently as possible resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, lower power bills and greater comfort. But beware, not all cleaning companies are equal. We are constantly hearing of people being charged huge amounts for servicing and all they are getting is a heat pump clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified engineers and therefore are able to fully test and diagnose any problems you may or may not be aware of with your heat pump. Also, as we are associated with all major brands, we are able to repair these under warranty if they are still within the warranty period. it is important to remember, when selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover the installation and consumers could be responsible for any repair or damage caused to the system due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s five-star installation guarantee ensures correct installation, and a demonstration so customers have an understanding on how it will best meet their needs. For a free in home consultation, call Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd, Waltham, Christchurch.

environment in which to live and work. in case of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. if exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. in summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline. it is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.
