Dangerous journey to school Call for safer Breens, Gardiners and Harewood Rds intersection ANDREW KING
A busy intersection has pupils dicing with death on their way to school, with parents and principals pleading for a solution before someone is hurt. Breens, Gardiners and Harewood Rds intersection is so dangerous, that parent Julianne Grant has stopped her children, Jonty and Zoe Blacklow (right) cycling to school because she feels the risk is so great. “In peak hour traffic you have kids sprinting to beat cars, you have cyclists and then the cars trying to get across the intersection and they just have to floor it,” Mrs Grant said. “We want kids to be active but they are taking their lives in their hands when it comes to this intersection,” she said. A recent report on students cycling to school showed low numbers, with 12 per cent of

respondents saying the journey was too dangerous. The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board is looking at an urgent solution, such as a temporary pedestrian crossing, after Mrs Grant alerted them to the situation. There are three schools within a 1km radius of the intersection – Cotswold School, Breens Intermediate and Isleworth School. The intersection is so troublesome that both staff driving to school and pupils avoid it, said Breens Intermediate principal Nikki Clarke. “We have staff that won’t drive across that intersection . . . we have serious concerns around safety at it,” she said. The intersection has two lanes each way and two turning bays – but no crossing for pedestrians. Traffic lights were installed

down the road at the Sawyers Arms and Gardiners Rds to make it safer after the death of a motorist in 2009. Community board deputy chairman David Cartwright said it had asked the city council to look into to the issue as a matter of urgency.
“It took a death at the Gardiners Rd and Sawyers Arms Rd intersection before something was done [traffic lights installed], we do not want to repeat that,” he said. Mr Cartwright said a temporary solution such as a pedestrian crossing could be put in
quickly without the lengthy consultation or spending a lot of money. HAVE YOUR SAY: Have you had a near miss at the intersection and what do you think needs to be done? Share your views by emailing andrew.king@ starmedia.kiwi

Asbestos dumping concern Investigation continues at St Albans section ANDREW KING
Authorities are investigating the dumping of materials containing asbestos on a St Albans section. The material containing the asbestos is not harmful to the public but is of concern how it got there and who dumped it. Residents complained about the asbestos contamination in the materials to Environment Canterbury’s pollution hotline. They say the materials were dumped on an empty site on Mersey St on more than one occasion. A waste and environmental management team, is investigating the site. ECan’s project manager of earthquake waste James Tricker said: “The top priority for this site currently is ensuring that the small amount of asbestos

on site is removed safely and correctly.” The removal of the material is being done in conjunction with the site’s owner and the asbestos is not fibrous and is not being handled. “While the dumping of such material is in contravention of the Resource Management Act, the risk to human health of asbestos sheeting on site is minimal,” Mr Tricker said.

He could not comment further until the investigation has finished. Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson (right) said he was unaware of the dumping in St Albans. “It is important to work out how it got there and who by . . . we can’t have people dumping waste

Breaches of the RMA can incur a fine of up to $300,000 and up to two years in prison while an infringement notice issued under the RMA for such an offence would be for $1000.

ANZAC DAY PARADE The Anzac Parade on April 25 will see several roads closed for 1hr 15min. Papanui Rd from Frank St to Harewood Rd, Main North Rd from Langdons Rd to Harewood Rd and St James Ave from Dalriada St to Harewood Rd will be closed for the parade. The closures will start at 9am and end about 10.15am. FUNDING APPLICATION The Anglican Parish of Burnside-Harewood has applied for $20,000 from the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board discretionary response fund to construct a car park in its grounds in Harewood. The new car park is required as changes to the road in the area means most on-street parking for the church will be lost. The church became aware they would lose its on-street parking in April last year. The project is estimated to cost $70,000. The church is used by around 40 parishioners on Sundays and also the Antioch Orthodox Church which lost its premises in the February 2011 earthquake. The Papanui Returned and Services Association has also applied for $4655 from the same fund for its annual Anzac Day celebrations.

Time to have fun at playground NOW OPEN: Merivale mother Charlotte Gray cuts the ribbon opening the new playground on Rugby St. Around 100 people gathered for the opening and helped pitch in to plant flowers, trees and shrubs around the play equipment. The playground went from being a dream to becoming a reality after Ms Gray fundraised about $42,000, with the city council matching dollarfor-dollar. She wanted a park closer to the area for children. There was a barbecue, bouncy castle and face painting at the opening. The new equipment includes a basket swing, merrygo-round and a climbing ladder.
PITCHING IN: FendaltonWaimairi Community Board deputy chairman David Cartwright lends a hand digging in some plants at the opening.

Change the batteries in your smoke alarms MARK THOMAS, FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
Smoke alarms should be like car seat belts. Nobody thinks twice about clicking tight every time they get into a car. Likewise working smoke alarms should be an absolute expectation in every home. Which made this weekend an important one because daylight saving ended with clocks being hauled back an hour. You might have seen the latest advertisements from the Fire Service, as always encouraging people to use the day as a trigger to having the batteries in your smoke alarms changed. Too many of us use the warning cheep of the alarm to tell us it’s time to change batteries. There are good reasons not to do this. If it happens while you’re away it’s possible the battery will be completely dead by the time you return. You’ll be living with the mistaken belief that the alarm will warn you of fire. If you’re home when it happens I can almost guarantee it
will occur at about 3am. Which means the only way you’ll get back to sleep will be to pull the alarm down and remove the battery. You’re now unprotected. And will remain so for as long as it takes you to buy a new battery and reinstate the alarm. Using this weekend every year to ensure your smoke alarm batteries are changed, or if you have alarms with 10-year batteries, that they are cleaned with the brush accessory on your vacuum cleaner, creates a habit of a lifetime. More likely a longer lifetime too.

Name revealed for merged polytechs The merger of two polytechnics now has a name, the Ara Institute of Canterbury. The new name was announced last week after it was decided in November last year that Aoraki Polytechnic and the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology would merge. Ara, meaning arise or pathway in Maori, is the next stage in the over 200 year combined history of CPIT and Aoraki Polytechnic. Underneath the new institute’s name is the Maori phrase ‘ara rau, taumata rau’, which means ‘many pathways, many opportunities’. The Ara logo represents an upward journey of learning, while also showing Maori tukutuku panelling, which was traditionally used to decorate meeting houses. A plan has been put in place to extend the range of

programmes and services and become a destination for national and international students. Both institutes have been in the Canterbury and Waitaki region for more than 100 years each. Ara Institute of Canterbury chairwoman Jenn Bestwick (left) said the intention of the new facility is to continue
working with industry partners and our communities to adapt to the needs of the region and of modern learners. “Our new name signals we have stepped into an exciting new future together.” Ara deputy chairwoman Janie Annear said business, science, ICT and youth pathway programmes have been extended to south Canterbury this year.

PLANNED WORKS Fletcher in conjunction with Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team are repairing sections of the earthquake-damaged infrastructure in the wider St Albans and Mairehau area. Work on Warrington St between Barbadoes St and Francis Ave has began to relay a section of the earthquakedamaged wastewater main. It is expected the work will take about five weeks to complete. All work is subject to favourable weather and on-site conditions. A temporary oneway system for eastbound traffic only will be in place on Warrington St, between Barbadoes St and Francis Ave for the duration of the work. TWO-VEHICLE CRASH Three people were taken to Christchurch Hospital on Wednesday after a two vehicle crash in St Albans. The crash happened at the intersection of Purchas and Sherborne Sts around 6.30pm. St John sent an ambulance to the scene and took two children with minor injuries and a woman in her 50s with serious injuries to hospital. All those injured and taken to hospital were in the same car. Meanwhile, two people were taken to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries after a motorcycle and bicycle crashed in Strowan on Thursday. Two ambulances were sent to the scene on Heaton St around 4.30pm. A man and a woman were taken to hospital.

Mike Coleman
Reverend helps others fight Reverend Mike Coleman speaks to Fraser Walker-Pearce about how he became an earthquake protest organiser, backpacking around the Americas, and being a school counsellor Hi Mike, tell me a little bit about yourself and your family. Well I’m 53-years-old. I’m married to Robyn, we’re about to have our 29th anniversary, she’s a medical scientist. I always say she’s the bright one. I have a Bachelor of Commerce and Accounting. I graduated from Canterbury University and the Christchurch Teachers College. I went on to teach at Waimea College, as well as St Bede’s College and Linwood High which is now Linwood College. I travelled overseas and backpacked around the Americas with my wife, then got a Bachelor of Theology in Auckland, and that was my training to become a minister. I actually grew up as a Roman Catholic and went to Xavier College, but later on became
a Baptist before becoming Anglican. Wow that’s quite a background. And do you have any children? Yes, we have three kids, Matthew our eldest is 25, Simon is 19, and Emily is 11. Matthew is a product manager at an electronics firm, Simon is doing his second year studying chemistry at Canterbury University, and Emily is at Banks Avenue School. I also love cycling, going to the gym and having fun with the family. We also have one grandchild, Matthew and his partner Paris have a boy called Jack, who is three and he is just beautiful. He loves going to pre-school and kindy, loves all the boys stuff, all the trucks and trees, he’s just got heaps of energy. Tell me about the Wider Earthquake Communities
Action Network, how did it come about? It was started by three people in the community, myself as one of lead facilitators. Basically we were there to speak on behalf of people struggling with their house being in the red zone, or other land issues including settlements with insurers. It actually ended up becoming a quite strong activist group, and any negotiations we tried to have were basically shut down. So in the end they forced the group to protest more to get people’s issues heard. How successful were those protests? We had varying success, in the
early days we showed some insurance companies up for what they were doing and what they really were. Some of the things they were offering was just wrong. The Government seemed to be happy to sit back and Canterbury be devastated. That really concerned many of us who were looking to help those in the communities. So do you think it’s a lot better today? No.
Even as we look around today. (Earthquake Minister) Gerry Brownlee talks about the Margaret Mahy Family Playground more than anything else when he is talking about Christchurch’s success. It’s his No 1 defence for questions on the recovery. When you talk to homeowners you realise there are still thousands and thousands who are still locked in insurance battles and fighting for a fair deal. It was the reason WeCan was formed, to give a voice to those who couldn’t. And what was your particular role in the whole setup? I was the media spokesman throughout that time, through two and a half years. During that time I was working full time as a counsellor and a reverend as well. So at the start of 2014 I kind of realised it was time to leave WeCan. From there I decided to focus more on the insurance companies and helping others get through their battles, and only wanted fairness for both sides.

earthquake battles I never fought for more than a policy would honour, only what a policy offered. We just looked for a fair honouring. We weren’t trying to get people rich when they were only entitled to so much, and we’ve found that the insurance companies have respected that. There are no guiding rules to ensure insurance companies treat people fairly, which is ridiculous to be honest. Hasn’t the recovery gone on long enough already? Absolutely it has. The nature of this recovery for insurance companies is about spinning a line to get through the year, spreading the recovery over 20 years. To have private homeowners waiting for that long is plain disgraceful, it’s not about people it’s about ensuring the Government’s books are kept healthy. I just find it really interesting that we can paint all kinds of artwork throughout the city but can’t have all of our people in houses. Do you have any spare time at all? Yes of course! I’m a school counsellor at Middleton Grange School. I really enjoy working

one-on-one with adolescents and seeing them grow. Getting an understanding of what they’re going through is really important. I think I have the skills to help them, and I really enjoy seeing them feel empowered. I mean a lot of them are still finding themselves in life and gaining an awareness about the world around them, so finding their way in life can be quite
difficult. I’ve been through a lot in my own life so I can kind of pass that wisdom on in a way. I can imagine in a job like that, you’d meet a lot of interesting people, anyone stand out in particular? There are a few that kind of stand out. I remember I was helping some boys, one I seem to remember was at the age of nine, and he was caught up in

his parents’ divorce. He was really quite an angry young man, and was really struggling with life in general, with his behaviour spinning out of control. In one session I asked him to paint a picture, and he painted what he said he always wanted to have, which was a Holden car and a girlfriend on his arm. That’s very cute.
Yes, it was. After he left school he sent me a picture on Facebook of him and his girlfriend and his Ford car which he had saved up to get, and he said he was going to get a Holden. I thought that was amazing. I’ve been involved with counselling since 1995, when I helped start up the Delta Community Support Trust. I’m sure on the other side of that spectrum though, there would be times where someone is asking for help and you wouldn’t know how to help them? It can be quite disheartening if you find a student that you can’t work out the thing that they are telling you is wrong. And that can stem from a whole number of things. It’s very hard even for a youth mental health worker, because they can also really struggle to help someone like that. It can be very sad to see teens on medication for mental illnesses as well. The stress of the quakes has been immense for some kids. Especially those who are coming from homes that are still unsettled. We’ll see that for many years to come I think.

OPENING DAY: From left: Gendie and Michael Askin, Ralf, Adam and Andrew Askin and Christine Cameron are all thrilled to be at the opening of the new Gym 2 and Askin Pipe Band Centre facilities.
St Andrew’s new gymnasium, pipe band centre open St Andrew’s College has opened its new Gym 2 and Askin Pipe Band Centre facilities. Former Rector and gold medal winning Black Stick Olympian, Barry Maister officiated at the opening celebrations, which took place recently. The new Askin Pipe Band Centre, located close to the new gymnasium was also officially opened at the ceremony. The purpose-built facilities are home to St Andrew’s highly successful pipe bands, which recently won three of the six national titles on offer at the 2016 national championships in Feilding. The St Andrew’s pipe band also won the juvenile world championships title in 2013. A large crowd of parents and old collegians, including some of St Andrew’s former sporting greats, were in attendance. The college has a long and proud history of top regional and national success
and also honoured its 88 New Zealand sports representatives during the event. Sporting stars such as Henry Nicholls, Amiria Marsh, Alex Wyllie and Robbie Manson feature on a special centenary sports wall, which is displayed in the new gymnasium. Rector Christine Leighton said the occasion marked “another significant milestone” in the life of St Andrew’s College. “We are delighted to open these stateof-the-art facilities, which will cater to the needs of our students for decades to come,” she said. The new gymnasium has been built to support a growing roll, which has reached 1450 students, she said. It will also enhance the college’s extensive sports curriculum, along with high performance programmes for its most promising young athletes, she said.

THRILLED: Alexander Bailey tests out the new fort out the Redwood Playcentre.
New fort opening highlight for Redwood Playcentre Redwood Playcentre celebrated the opening of its new fort and Playcentre Awareness Week with five days of ‘good, clean fun’. Families gathered at Redwood Playcentre for a week of sensory messy play sessions, but the real highlight was the opening of their new fort space. The old fort was tired and needing frequent repairs so local company Aridium Designs were called in to assist with a new design and build.

St Patrick’s School fair fun St Patrick’s School students had fun at their fair taking great pleasure in dunking teachers at one of the more popular stalls. Parents and friends along with students and staff worked
very hard to make this day as fun as possible for everyone. There were raffles, bubble soccer, jolly jars, cake stalls, white elephant and the most popular of all stalls – the dunk-
ing machine. During the course of the day, hundreds of people attended to spend the day supporting the school, enjoy the sunshine and listen to the live music on hand.
WELL DONE: The Elmwood Normal School league team recently placed second in a tournament held at Hagley Park. It was a combination of year 5 and 6 pupils captained by runner, Matthew Buchan. Most of the team are keen and capable rugby union players. For most of them this was their first outing as league players. Coach Simon Lean-Massey said he was super proud of their efforts.

There are books from their childhood, which instantly gives the place that lived-in feeling. Many of the furnishings and ornamental items have been hand-selected by Mary Peabody and Mary-Jeanne. “We have been looking at pieces for the lodge for a long time and it was important for us to use as much locally-sourced materials as possible.

To me the decor reflects a luxurious, timeless New Zealand warmth, however the majestic views are the hero of the lodge.” The exterior was designed by John Blair and as with the philosophy behind all of the Craggy Range buildings, it had to fit in with the Hawke’s Bay landscape.

Study supports less invasive therapy A study finds radiotherapy targeting a breast tumour site is effective, reports Ella Pickover
T
ARGETED radiotherapy for breast cancer patients could be just as effective as treating the whole breast, British research has found. Following surgery, focusing radiotherapy around the tumour site produces similar results as treating the whole breast and has fewer long-term side effects, the authors of a study, led by The Institute of Cancer Research, London, say. Radiotherapy is a standard treatment used after the removal of a tumour from a breast, even with those who are deemed
to have a low risk of relapse. The Cancer Research UK-funded clinical trial examined more than 2000 women, aged 50 or older, who had early breast cancer with a low risk of returning. The study, presented at the European Breast Cancer Conference in Amsterdam, split the women into three groups following breastconserving surgery: one had full dose radiotherapy to the whole breast, the current standard treatment; the second had the full dose of radiotherapy to the tumour area, with a lower dose to rest of the breast; and the third group received the full dose to the area where the

tumour had been, and no radiotherapy to the rest of the breast. Five years after their treatment, only one per cent or less of women in each group had a recurrence of their cancer in their breast, according to the researchers. Dr Charlotte Coles of the Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We’re really pleased we have demonstrated a very effective radiotherapy approach that also reduces the side-effects of treatment. “Minimising these longterm side-effects is essential as, not only do they impact on physical health, but they can also cause psychological distress.” Professor Arnie Purushotham, senior clinical adviser at Cancer Research UK, said the result could lead to a “crucial change” in the treatment of breast cancer.

HO would have thought that the humble spud was once regarded as both a food and a fashion accessory fit for royalty? Native to South America, potatoes were first cultivated by the Incas about 200BC. The jewel in the crown was the Peruvian purple potato — royally purple inside and out. When harvested, they were kept exclusively for the Inca kings. And in 18th-century France,

the salty tang of the chips and the sweetness of the icecream is a taste treat. The potato is certainly common and a staple worldwide. They are cheap, hardy and easy to grow, and are high in starch, protein and vitamins. They are also versatile.

New research on ginkgo biloba excites researchers
F
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 microcirculation and helps the blood flow reach those critical places it needs to get to. It is a potent antioxidant 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 ginkgo 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 ginkgo biloba extract shown to activate all areas of the brain and is considered the gold standard in ginkgo. 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 and Natural Therapy in New Brighton. Phone 388 5757. We are always happy to help!

Living a Healthy Life Six-week course
3 21
Your best home in the city,
Lady Wigram Village Lady Wigram Retirement Village was officially opened a few short months ago and residents are already settled and feeling at home. About 19 of the first 50 villas are occupied, with a number of others under offer.
A
six-week course designed to teach self-management skills for people living with any chronic health condition, such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, depression, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, mental health conditions, etc. This course does not offer disease-specific information, and is designed to work alongside other forms of treatment, rather than replace them. The course is run in a group setting for up to 15 participants. Support people and carers are also welcome to attend. The course is based around group work and interactive problem solving sessions, and covers topics applicable to all chronic health conditions,
O
such as: • Dealing with frustration, fatigue and pain • Appropriate exercise, use of medications and healthy eating • Communicating effectively with others, including family, friends and health professionals • Using the power of your mind effectively Sessions run once per week for six weeks. Participants are asked to commit to attend all six sessions. Participants receive a supporting book valued at $35 to keep at the end of the course. Refer to the accompanying advertisement for details of the next LHL courses.
livia Cleave, operations manager, says the feedback is fabulous and everyone is enjoying their new community, making friends, even a couple of gardens are flourishing in raised beds. While we await the construction of the community centre, which is expected to open in April, residents can enjoy social events which include bowls through to high teas in a converted villa. With a short stroll to The Landing, the retail hub of Wigram Skies subdivision or a short drive to the Hornby Workingmen’s Club, Hornby Mall and the city, The Lady Wigram Retirement is well situated. Foundations have begun for the next 51 villas, expected to be ready in January 2017. Owner John Tooby says the aim is for the village to be the best in the city, offering an environment second to none. When completed, the village will include
101 villas, 73 apartment and 100 care beds, including rest home, hospital and dementia care facilities. Golden Healthcare provides general aged care at the Golden Age Retirement Village, the original facility acquired by John Tooby in 1985, and at the Brookhaven Retirement Village. Specialist dementia care is available at Camellia Court, Albarosa Rest Home, Somerfield Rest Home, Brookhaven and Hoon Hay Rest Home. Lady Wigram Retirement Village is located at 95 Corsair Dr, Wigram, Christchurch. For more information, contact Sarah Jacobson on 027 341 1464. View the website www.goldenhealthcare.co.nz.

Effective treatment for many types of pain
C
omplementary medicine is becoming increasingly sought after in New Zealand as people become aware of the many different methods of treating pain and ill health that are available here. Christchurch-based Chinese health practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a method of treatment, which she says has as an immediate affect on a wide variety of pains and health conditions. It is known as ‘acupuncture without needles’. Lan describes it as being similar to reflexology in that the problem area on the body is determined through pressure, but is much more accurate. Trained as a medical practitioner in China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 and began practising acupuncture in 1995. From that discipline she created her acupuncture without needles, and uses it to treat people of all ages with many different types of pain in all parts of the body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, and pain from injury. “For example, the treatment has been very successful for people who have painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan says. Acupuncture without needles is also effective in restoring energy levels,
she says. “As people age their energy is reduced, and this can lead to other health problems. The acupuncture without needles treatment is like the body’s battery being charged up again, so their energy levels are restored, which in turn helps overcome their health problems.” Lan also uses it to treat depression and anxiety, and says it can help with addiction problems as well. “After the treatment the person has no cravings – because it treats the cause of the addiction.” She says the results are immediate, though people may need several treatments, depending on the extent of their health problem, and while it is slightly painful for few moments, everyone can tolerate it. Lan Xiao’s website, www. drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes videos of people whose health problems have been overcome after receiving the treatment. Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 5pm. To discuss your health issues or make an appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 88388.

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.

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.

Presented by Chamber Music New Zealand, the ensemble of world-class French music guides is set to transport audiences back 300 years. With a varied programme of French suites, sonatas and character pieces, Rousset and his musicians will take you back to Versailles – to the dazzlingly elegant and indulgent court of Louis XIV, the Sun King. This concert includes an Audio Description service for patrons with low vision. A pre-concert talk takes place one hour prior to the concert – it is free to attend and will be at the concert venue. For ticketing and more information go to www.chambermusic.co.nz
