DISCUSSION: An idea to allow contractors to apply for a parking permit to let them park on the road for longer periods of time will be discussed on Thursday in a city council committee meeting.
Contractor parking permit may not be approved ANDREW KING
A proposed contractor parking permit system that would allow workers to park longer outside where they are working, may not get city council approval. Contractor parking permits were the idea of Merivale resident Dr Stuart Gowland after he lobbied the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board saying some contractors have vehicles too big to fit on some properties and
needed to park on the road. He said there is a similar system operated by the Devon County Council in the United Kingdom. The board asked city council staff to investigate the idea of permits. The new permit system would cost $15,000 to set up and $10,000 per year to run. But staff have recommended to keep the current, permission based system, due to the new
one being susceptible to fraud. Currently contractors can phone the city council and request an extended stay within time limited parking in residential areas. A city council committee will discuss the proposal on Thursday. City councillor Jamie Gough (above) is not giving up on the
FIT A FUJITSU
idea and is trying to get a late deputation to the committee so Dr Gowland can put his case forward. Cr Gough said most things in this world are susceptible to fraud and that was not a valid excuse to not proceed. “Identifying that fraud could be an issue is great, now we can find a solution to it.� Cr Gough said it would be a good idea to have Mr Gowland at the meeting to present his
view to the committee. “Ultimately we can’t lose sight of what we are trying to achieve which is to help out residents and contractors working to rebuild the city,� Cr Gough said. HAVE YOUR SAY: Would it make it easier for rebuild workers to get on with the job? Share your views with us, email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi

Belfast Community Network to stay in Sheldon Park home ANDREW KING
After many shifts since the February 2011 earthquake, Belfast Community Network now has a permanent home. The organisation has just signed a 33 year lease with the city council for its Sheldon Park home. The earthquake caused its former home at the old Presbyterian church on Main North Rd to be red stickered and then demolished. The organisation built the Sheldon Park facility in 2013 for $468,000. It moved into the Belfast Rugby Club for two months in 2013 until the new facility was constructed. Previous to that they had been at Belfast School after being relocated after the earthquake from its original site. The lease will not allow it to expand its current facilities but it is hopeful it will be able to negotiate for a small storage unit to house Belfast emergency response plan equipment.
ALI JONES BOWS OUT City councillor Ali Jones will not be standing for re-election for the city council in the October local body race. She will run for the Papanui-Innes Community Board and said she is strongly invested in the area and wants to be a part of the new board. The mother-of-two said she needs time to look after herself and her family. CRASH IN MAIREHAU A man in his 70s was taken to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries after a crash in Mairehau. St John sent an ambulance to the scene at about 4pm, which was a crash between a car and scooter. SUSPICIOUS FIRE A tree fire in Jellie Park last Tuesday is being treated as suspicious. A fire crew from the Harewood station arrived at the scene about 2.20am to find the tree well involved. The fire was on the Greers Rd side of Jellie Park and is being investigated by police.
EXCITED: Children involved in the Belfast Community Network holiday programme are thrilled they will have a facility to use to for many years to come.
Belfast Community Network chief executive Lynda Goodrick said they are right where they need to be to provide a fantastic service to the community. “The BCN is thrilled to finally have a permanent lease
to remain on Sheldon Park,” she said. She said it has been a long journey, around four years, but the support of city council staff and elected members has meant that they are now able get back

Housing subsidy still needed A Government heating and insulation subsidy programme comes to an end in June. Community Energy Action Charitable Trust chief executive Caroline Shone writes this week’s column about the importance of the programme and why it should continue in some form. Shelter is one of the most basic of human needs and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says that everyone has the right to housing. It can be debated that housing that makes people sick, isn’t housing at all. However houses that are damp, houses that are cold, with the people living in them unable to heat them to an adequate temperature to keep them healthy, are a reality for many households in Christchurch. The old, the young and the sick suffer most in those houses. We all know the result. Every winter sees many residents ending up in hospital with preventable cold-related health issues. Even healthy people get sick more often in those cold, damp houses.
SOAP BOX From experience we know that installing insulation and heating in people’s homes especially those with health conditions will reduce hospitalisations, delivering cost savings to the health system. Installing insulation and heating is a one-off cost but the benefits last a long time, saving money on health and saving lives every year. The Government through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) have spent $450 million nationwide on insulation and heating subsidies over the last couple of years. And we know it has made a difference. The current subsidy programme comes to an end in June this year. It would be fantastic if subsidies would be available in the future for those who need insulation. It’s a great way for Christchurch people to help those in their community who need a bit of help to create a warm, dry, healthy home.

Sasheen Elizbeth-Jane Brownlie: Back in Hagley Park where there is less wind and therefore less smoke. Yeah great. Or up where the gondola is, to see from both sides. Bethany NehoffThompson: Back to Hagley Park. Should have always been in there. Jill Reesby: What about Victoria/ Bowenvale/ Mount Vernon Park areas? Can be viewed from all over the city, even
from your private backyard. No traffic issues there. Tune into a live radio station for the music to go with the show. And there are areas around these parks for gatherings for those that wish to be there. Margaret Gamblin: Back in Hagley Park where it used to be. It’d be easier for traffic. Jess Gardner: Combine it with the Rolleston fireworks instead - make it better and longer. Todd Cameron: What about Sugarloaf car park? Then the whole city can see them. Just ditch the teeny ones and go for the big ones. Katrina Prendergast: No-
where, save the money and put it into more needed resources. Less harm on the animals too. Andrew Johnson: Hagley. Traffic would be a nightmare in Scarborough. Anne Marie Smulders: Can’t it be done from boats, like in many other places like The Hague, Hong Kong?

life and cross over that road every day myself. I have had so many close calls when driving as well, it is a very dangerous road.

ANDREW KING
Ten new car parks planned for Rutland St, St Albans, are unlikely to get the go-ahead. City council staff have recommended that the car parks on the east side of Rutland St, between Weston Rd and Chapter St, not proceed. They have recommended instead to retain the plan put forward in the February 16 meeting, which means parking will be available on the west side of Rutland St only. The city council’s infrastructure, transport and environment committee will make a decision on Thursday. City council staff were asked to investigate if extra parking could be added by the committee in the February meeting after it approved the Papanui Parallel Cycleway. Staff have provided three options for the committee to consider – parking on the west side of Rutland St only, parking on both side of the street meaning trees will have to be removed or angle parking on Weston Rd and parking only on the west side of Rutland St.
POSSIBLE PARKING LOSS: Recommendations from city council staff is that parking on the east side of Rutland St (left), between Weston Rd and Chapter St, not be installed after the Papanui Parallel Cycleway is built.
The recommendation is extra parking not be installed as Chapter St and Weston Rd are lightly parked, have sufficient capacity and no time restrictions providing parking close for residents and the church. The committee will also decide if they will monitor the intersections of Springfield Rd, St Albans St and Springfield, Edgeware Rds for 12 months, after the cycleway’s completion, to see if traffic signals are needed. If the monitoring suggests sig-
nals are needed then it will plan their installation in the next long term plan. It is estimated that installation of traffic signals at each intersection will cost $200,000 to $250,000 and will remove about six to eight parks each. HAVE YOUR SAY: Will Rutland St need more parking or will there be enough without spending more money? Share your views, email andrew. king@starmedia.kiwi

Amputee’s story told Mona Vale in line for award FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When Trixie Wuts was born her parents had a very difficult decision to make whether or not to amputate both of her legs to the knee. On the advice of medical professionals, Trixie’s parents Anton and Margot Wuts decided amputation was the best solution. Their experience has been documented in a children’s book that they wrote, called Little Jellybean. It is being distributed by the Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland to help families facing a similar choice. The society helped get a $5000 grant for the publishing and distribution of the book from the Artificial Limb Service. Trixie was diagnosed with distal arthrogryposis before she was born, meaning she had crooked or hooked joints in her feet. She had many procedures done when she was born, which attempted to correct the deformities in both of her feet, but they were largely unsuccessful. The surgery however, was and Trixie now “leads a full and active life” with her new feet. Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland president Mark Bruce said the more families that can be reached with the book, the
better. “It’s about raising awareness for parents in a situation where their child is very unwell. The story is mainly about the parents having to make an incredibly tough decision to help their children,” he said. Mr Bruce said the book will become an invaluable source for those looking for support. “If you have a young one with an amputation or have a young one about to undergo an amputation then this is a great resource. “The future of the federation is in its youth . . . If we can affect just one family with the help of this book, then it’s been a worthwhile venture,” he said. The society are making copies of the book available from their national and regional coordinators, who can be contacted on www.af.org.nz.
NEW HELP: Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland president Mark Bruce is helping promote the book.
Mona Vale Lodge is one of 35 finalists in the this year’s Canterbury Heritage Awards. The building sustained damage in the February 2011 earthquake predominantly from the collapse of the two masonry chimneys. Repairs to the building were finished two weeks ago at a cost of $589,000. A panel of five judges whittled the list down from 80 entries into six categories – domestic and saved, public realm and saved, outstanding contribution to heritage, seismic, heritage tourism and future heritage. Entries were received from a wide variety of projects, from walking tours and domestic dwellings to furniture restorations and public monuments. Category winners and the supreme overall winner will be announced during a ceremony held at the Christchurch Arts Centre on June 9. Christchurch Heritage Awards Charitable Trust chairwoman Dr Anna Crighton (above) said the judges were incredibly impressed with the standard of entries.
FINALIST: The recently repaired Mona Vale Lodge is a finalist in the Canterbury Heritage Awards.
“Now that almost half of our built heritage has been demolished, appreciation of what remains is evident. The jurors agreed, without exception, that every entry was worthy in contributing to the character and streetscapes of our city and province,” she said. Dr Crighton was joined on the judging panel by four other notable heritage experts – Heritage Management Services
director Jenny May, Canterbury University and Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects chairman Tim Nees, Heritage New Zealand southern office general manager Sheila Watson and Ruamoko Solutions structural engineer Grant Wilkinson.

Community garden, parking planned for empty section next to community centre ANDREW KING
A city councillor wants a vacant section adjacent to the St Albans Community Centre to be bought for future expansion. Pauline Cotter (right) has asked city council staff to investigate the purchase of the 463 sq m section at 130 Caledonian Rd valued at $250,000. She said the site could be used as a community garden and later extra car parking. It has been four-and-a-half years since the St Albans Resource Centre was demolished and a transitional facility run by the St Albans Residents’ Association put in its place. Currently there is $3.2 million in funding for the new centre. While the money is not currently in the budget, Cr Cotter is under no illusion that the city council will just say yes. “We are looking to have a good discussion around this idea,” she said. The Shirley-Papanui Commu-
nity Board voted on April 20 in favour of asking staff to look at buying the land to provide space for extra car parking should it be required for the new centre. Cr Cotter said buying the land was a fantastic opportunity, one she does not want the city council to look back in 20 years and kick themselves for not taking. “You don’t normally get to purchase an empty site right beside a community facility,” she said. The land in the meantime will add to the project by providing space for a garden. “When we redevelop the new centre we will lose the front garden so having another out back would be great,” Cr Cotter said.

The guy that was interviewing me said ‘I know a bloke by the name of Athol Jamieson.’ He knew him on a fairly friendly basis so I went and saw him. He had a fairly large company and said ‘there’s a job there if you want it.’ I’d seen plumbers, we’d not long had the sewerage put on in the house and a flush toilet put in, which you guys would take for granted now. I was fascinated. So I thought ‘it’s not a bad idea’, and that’s what it was. So when did you start your apprenticeship? In the days when I did my apprenticeship, you signed up for what they called a 12,000 hour apprenticeship which equates to six years. In that era, when you
got to your fifth year you could sit your license and if you passed your exam you didn’t have to do your sixth year, so there was a lot of incentive there. In those days it was about five pounds a week which probably equates to, I don’t know, $200 these days. A tradesman now could get about $30 an hour, about $1200 a week, and an apprentice, well they probably get more than $200, so a lot of incentive there to pass. I spent most of my apprenticeship under a guy named Bill Walsh, an Irish plumber, and also with his brother John. They were ship’s plumbers, they were fastidious. If something happened it was either right or it was wrong. And after you finished your apprenticeship did you stay with the same company? No, after I finished I left plumbing for a wee while and I did quantity surveying. It was a very good experience and I was fortunate that I had the trades experience to do it. It was very
enjoyable. Did you work on any big projects? I did, it was Wilkins and Davies I was working for at the time. The buildings at Canterbury University were being built then, and we worked on them. That was straight out of my apprenticeship, so when I left that I went to learn about drain laying. I’ve always enjoyed drain laying. When you’re doing it, you feel like you’ve achieved more than you would working in a bathroom. I did that for the best part of a year, then I put the sewerage into John Walsh’s house. That was the practical part of my exam. I started working for a drain laying firm then, but they went out of business, so at about 23 I started working for myself. You knew nothing then, but that was beside the point because you thought you did and you had to get experience the hard way. So I was working for myself for a while and I was doing some tutoring at night. When you’re tutoring and still in the trades, to the students, you’re still a plumber. Working full time and tutoring at nights, it must’ve taken a toll on your social life? I was young, I was only about

still enjoyable after more than 50 years 27 when I finished that and when you’re young you could burn the candle at both ends a bit. Where did you do your tutoring? In town, it was called Christchurch Technical College then - it has had about three name changes since then. It was only one night a week at that stage. That was about 1969, then me and another guy started commercial drain laying. We had a lot of fun, we did all of the drainage at QE II which was a monstrous job, but we just got stuck in and got on with it. We were young and wishful, ‘of course we can bloody well do it.’ Far out, was it only you two doing the job? No, we had 10 staff on. We updated the Kaiapoi sewerage plant as well. It was physical, hard work but enjoyable. You were outside all the time. Sometimes you wore yourself out, but that’s just life. We formed a partnership called Mitchell and Rodgers. You used to be filthy everyday, but that’s part of your life and you hope that you can look back on your life and have enjoyed it. How did it feel to receive that award? I thought why me? I’d started in 2005 with just me, with an-
other tutor joining in 2006 and another in 2007. We now have eight, virtually a new tutor every year. We do work for the Schools Organisation and Ara managed apprenticeships in plumbing and gas fitting. We’ve grown and grown, I have to ask myself, is this real? It’s been an absolutely fantastic journey building this thing, I have had some really great support, and I didn’t do it alone by any stretch of the imagination. I’m putting back what I got out of the industry. The biggest thing for me is the recognition of offsite job training. Having been in the industry so long, what sort of changes have you seen? Basically, when I started there was a horrendous amount of lead; it was the material of the time for waste pipes, sewer pipes and roof flashings. I only know of two plumbers who got lead poisoning. After that, it graduated to Copper. Copper’s priced itself out of the market now, but it’s a marvellous material to work with. We used to have to fabricate everything, but now it’s plastic and made fit for purpose. The skill sets have changed due to the change of materials. And your family has been
supportive for all this time, tutoring and working? I could never have done it without the support of my wife, Beth, she’s always worked in the background. Where did you meet your wife? Through one of my cousins, she was a friend of hers, they bought us together, many years ago now but that’s alright. We went to the pictures, the usual courting thing, it was different then than it is today, 6 o’clock closing, it was the 6 o’clock swill. We went to dances and the pictures, things like that, nothing out of the ordinary. Where did you grow up? In Marshland Rd, bottom end, so I’m not very far from home. There wasn’t many houses. We were in one of the houses at the bottom end. It was still basically farmlands, was still in the country then. Shirley Lodge it was called then, I don’t know what it’s called now, we were midway between that and Shirley Rd, but we still lived in the country. And where did you go to school? Shirley Primary of course, my great-grandparents on one side took up land on the side of Marshland Rd, so it was pretty

family orientated from there. Every kid’s good at school, I was just an average kid at school. I didn’t excel at anything. My mother would’ve thought I was outstanding. Has your passion for plumbing been passed on to your kids? No, I’ve got two daughters and one grandson who is 32. I used to take him on work experience, he enjoyed it, and he could’ve done it blind, but he said there was too much to learn. But for the students, I’ve chosen my path, I have to sell them the industry. I have to tell them the pluses and the fun they’ll have on the
journey. You go to work for fun, if you don’t enjoy your work, get another job! I’ve got to be passionate about the industry. Not looking at retirement? Well, I’m only working three days a week, I treat it as a hobby now, not a job. I’m going to be 74 in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have to sooner or later, but I’m still enjoying it. You’ve got to look at it and say ‘well, I better pull back’. It’s such a privilege to see it working so well. Me getting the award was a positive for Ara Institute of Canterbury, showing that tutors and support staff are readily available to keep things moving forward.

SVA calls on helping hands for tree planting campaign BY ALEX LIM
Doing us proud PROUD: St Andrew’s College preparatory school student Pieta Bayley has won second prize in a World War 1 children’s poetry competition run by English charity Never Such Innocence. There were more than 300 entries in this category and Pieta was the first entry from New Zealand. She hopes to travel to the awards ceremony, which will be held at the House of Lords in London. Pieta read her poem at St Andrew’s College Anzac Day service.

About 190 Canterbury University staff, students and community members joined forces to plant 2000 native trees as part of the nationwide campaign. The Student Volunteer Army recruited help to plant the trees at Woodend Beach Holiday Park as part of the Serve for NZ campaign it started on the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake. It was started to mobilise people of all ages to contribute one hour of community service and coincided with Anzac Day this year. As of April 23, 4261 individuals have pledged 6249 hours of community service. The tree planting is part of a five-year planting scheme where future forest giants like kahikatea, totara and matai were planted. Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara Trust general manager Greg Byrnes said native trees like kahikatea were the fruit baskets of the forest that reduced soil erosion and preserved the eco-system. Matai and kahikatea could live beyond 600 years while

totara could be around for 2000 years. “We are planting for the millennium,” Byrnes said. Project Crimson Trust donated the trees, SVA legacy project coordinator Shirana Rengasamy said: “It is pretty awesome that we can leave behind something that will continue to grow and be around for future generations.”

PUSHING FORWARD: St Andrew’s College footballer Ryan Nicholson has been selected to represent New Zealand in July.
Young player heads to UK A St Andrew’s College footballer is set to hit the international stage when he travels to Northern Ireland for a tournament. Ryan Nicholson, 16, has been selected for one of two Under 17 New Zealand teams travelling to Northern Ireland for the Super Cup, formerly Milk Cup, in July. Nicholson said he was excited for the chance to impress scouts and continue his footballing career. “Yeah I am pretty excited. It’s a huge opportunity for me - I haven’t even met the team or the coach yet,” he said. Nicholson is the only Canterbury representative in the side, and will travel to Auckland for a two day training camp before they leave for Europe in July. He plays his football for the Coastal Spirit men’s reserve team, and is also in the St Andrew’s College first 11. He applies his trade in the centre of midfield. Nicholson has also played for Federation and National Talent Centre squads.
But this will be his first time playing as a New Zealand representative. In preparation for the Super Cup, Nicholson’s side will stop off in Barcelona and London, and will train at the grounds of professional Spanish club Espanyol and English giants Chelsea. Nicholson received the call up to the squad after a strong performance in the Auckland youth under 17 tournament in March. He said the opportunity to now play in Europe is a “dream come true” for him. From here he is aiming for the top. “My goal would be to play internationally and get a football scholarship,” he said. Nicholson said his great uncle played football for Ireland, and so he “jumped” at the opportunity to play there himself. “I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and will gain experience from the international games. The coaching will further develop my game,” he said.

TALENTED: Christchurch Girls’ Lucy Cochrane won both the Mark Todd Dressage Cup and Sir Mark Todd Challenge Trophy recently. PHOTO: PIP HUME PHOTOGRAPHY
Inspector Gadget and rider win double title
QUICK: St Andrew’s College student Mitchell Small has placed 12th in the International Secondary Schools Foundation Cross Country World Schools Championship in Budapest, Hungary. He competed in the men’s 5400m event in a time of 15min 8sec. Small was the first of six New Zealanders across the line in the event.
Riding on a back up horse didn’t disrupt a Christchurch Girls’ High School student from winning several awards at the Pony Club National Eventing Championships. Lucy Cochrane, 13, recently competed in several events at the three-day championships held at Eyreton Pony Club at Mandeville Sports Centre. Lucy had two horses qualify for the event, her first pick, Balrazie suffered an injury not long before the event and instead rode Inspector Gadget, helping her win two titles.
Lucy competed against 23 other riders in the 14-and-under category, winning the Mark Todd Dressage Cup and Sir Mark Todd Challenge Trophy for the highest placed MT rider. She also held her lead through the whole competition for her age group with no faults in either cross country or show jumping. The event had three age groups; 21-and-under, 17-andunder and 14-and-under. Riders from around New Zealand competed in the event, which ran from Friday to Sunday. Lucy started riding eight years
ago, re-schooling and sorting out issues with ponies, while she has been competing nationally in cross country, show jumping and dressage. She is in her first year at Girls’ High and keeps herself busy with leadership roles and mentoring programmes at the school. She also plays a variety of summer and winter sports, is a grade 5 pianist, plays the bassoon and is involved in choir. Outside of school hours while her main passion is equestrian, but she also competes in BMX biking.

The students grow vegetables under the guidance of a mentor and sell them at a weekly stall at Lincoln University students experience in a commercial environment without any risk. It’s the icing on the cake for a lot of the students here,” says Bill Martin.

Haircuts for Haircuts Celebrating 30 years of great service
H
aircuts for Haircuts are celebrating – this year, they turn 30. That’s 30 years of reasonably-priced great haircutting and 30 years of awesome, friendly customer service. It is rare for a small business to be so successful for so long - Michelle has been the driving force behind the two cutting bars for the three decades. She believes
they have done so well because they go above and beyond for their customers. “We are already affordable, but we offer discounts for pensioners, university students and children on top of that,” she explains. “We are here for the whole family and we offer a welcoming, friendly atmosphere to make the experience enjoyable.” It’s easy and convenient, too. Because
they are located in the Bush Inn Centre and South City Mall, getting a haircut can be combined with shopping and running errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days a week and there’s no need to be tied to an appointment. Just head on in, take your place and sit and relax while you wait. There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at any time, so you’re never waiting for long. But it’s much more than that – all their staff are fully-qualified, professional stylists and they focus on nothing but hair cutting. That means they have expertise and will take the time to find out what you want and give you the best advice. They can deliver trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a client requests. They pride themselves on the positive experience they offer so that clients leave them looking good and feeling great. The salons are up to the minute, but
Michelle has given them a taste of the past, too, installing traditional barber’s chairs in recognition of her 30 years’ anniversary so the customers get to combine the traditional with the ultra-modern. Michelle knows that it’s customer loyalty that has kept her in business for so long, and repays customers with a loyalty scheme where every 8th cut is free. She also offers styling products so you can recreate your salon look at home but her real aim is to cater for the community by providing fabulous haircuts for the whole family in a friendly atmosphere and all at affordable prices. Call in to the Bush Inn salon on the corner of Riccarton and Waimari Road (telephone 3487008) or the South City salon at 555 Colombo Street (telephone 3660619).

hy put up with broken sleep, when help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and dry and raw throats. Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for comfort, and a follow up service is provided. Denise Lim has been involved with Snores for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate with people using the appliance. Snoring can be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea, where the person actually stops breathing for short periods.
It can cause short-term memory loss, tiredness and contribute to high blood pressure. The Snorex device does not feel restrictive, is non-invasive and carries a money-back guarantee. Many people are referred by ear, nose and throat specialists, however, anyone can phone for an appointment. For an information pack or to discuss the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on 383 0994 or check out the website www.snorex.co.nz

ondering what to buy Mum when a box of chocolates or hand-cream won’t do another year round? A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me a new idea. When many of our mothers are feeling the ache of ageing limbs, or suffer with chronic pain or circulatory problems, Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to fit your pocket, simple in concept, easy to use and acclaimed by a growing number of users in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an envelope if Mum lives a distance away. For painful hands, feet or legs this small therapeutic device is used when sitting, most effective when used in several short spells a day - no need for long tough workouts. Jenny says, “Many delighted people report that it helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know that regular use while sitting watching TV can begin the progress of stronger legs, better balance, comfortable walking and freedom from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage a range of health conditions – it offers relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost anywhere. Jenny showed me some of the many grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle users have spent heavily on medications and therapy before discovering this simple effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “News is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we still have a way to go.” Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well

uch of this nursing care and support has been in the community so people can stay in their own homes and retain as much independence as possible. Every year millions of kilometres are clocked up as nurses and home support workers cross the Canterbury region providing personal, domestic, nursing and specialist palliative care. “All the nursing and homecare services we provide, whether it be in the community or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse Maude Hospice are founded on the core principles of partnership, respect and nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief executive of Nurse Maude. “Our unique strength lies in the ability of our people to blend that with the values which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896; that the needs of the patients and clients are met with quality nursing care and support provided by skilled and compassionate staff.” “The broad spectrum of care provided by Nurse Maude encompasses the two most vulnerable groups in our society, the very young and the elderly.” Nurse Maude has always been a collaborative organisation, providing care
in partnership with general practitioners, practice nurses, district health boards, ACC and the Ministry of Health among others. “It is through improved communication and the sharing of information that these relationships continue to strengthen for the benefit of our patients and clients,” says Magee. From the frontline staff who exhibit that blend of expertise, efficiency and compassion which makes Nurse Maude so special through to those who support them
in administrative roles and Nurse Maude’s volunteers who give so generously of their time and talent, the organisation that is Nurse Maude attracts enormous respect in the community. While the technology, processes and systems used to provide that care today would no doubt astonish Sibylla Maude, there is little doubt that 120 years on that the organisation that bears her name and continues her legacy of care would meet with her wholehearted approval.

Effective Natural Skincare that is Olive Leaf Extract Nature’s Extraordinary Immune Support Ideal for Problem Skin
A
s far ago as 1927 Doctors used olive leaf to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. Scientists have discovered olive leaf contains powerful nutrients that directly interfere and even destroy nearly every type of disease causing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this olive leaf has immune enhancing benefits by activating immune cells that fight infection. For these reasons it has become a popular tonic herb that can be used to keep the immune system strong as well as when need to dramatically speed up recovery of conditions like colds and flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections, and much more. It has also been found beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical
diseases, two types of leukaemia and even some cancers. In many chronic health conditions the immune system is run down and it is easy to have complications that are often life threatening. Olive leaf may be a safe and very effective option to boost the immune system and allow the body to have more energy to help heal itself. Olive leaf has also been found to be an effective cardiovascular tonic helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat irregularities, and improve blood flow and vascular disorders. Olive leaf extract is so effective that too high a dose initially may make you feel worse. This is due to too many micro-organisms dying quicker than the body can process these dead organisms. This side effect can be minimized if you follow our protocol on dosage. Also drinking water and herbal teas especially raspberry leaf can be quite effective. Further information on the amazing benefits of olive leaf and how it can be effectively used is available from our Medical Herbalist or our Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

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 - warmed air in winter creates a healthy
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.

esigned to maximise the glorious views, you will be captivated as you gaze over the estuary and Southshore to take in the sweep of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond. This is not for the casual observer as the home conceals its appealing and spacious interior from the street, and it’s only once you have soaked up the stunning views will you be able to enjoy the expansive family living, including a bright, modern kitchen and defined dining area, then explore further into the home. To suit families who want extra space, there is a large formal lounge/media room on the first floor, which would also suit those who wished to have an office to work from home as it features easy separate access from the street while on the lower level the home offers a master bedroom complete with en suite, three further good-sized bedrooms and main bathroom. There is also the benefit of a shower room on the ground floor, which is ideal when you get back from a quick surf or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short drive away. For your outdoor entertaining, the west -facing timber deck is perfect for summer BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. The internal access, triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes the package. Having just completed a major renovation to a very high standard, the home will meet the demands of the most discerning buyers
and, while I am surprised the decision has been made to sell such a wonderful home, I have been given clear instructions to sell the property on auction day, unless sold prior.
