Camera trial deters sex worker clients ANDREW KING

INSIDE:

A security camera has been installed in St Albans to deter clients visiting sex workers. The city council initiative comes after years of residents complaining about prostitutes working in the area. The city council installed the temporary camera on the corner of Manchester and Purchas Sts last week to deter clients seeking prostitute services. It is hoped that the prostitutes will head back into the city centre. The camera has been loaned to the city council from security camera company ATF for a two-week free trial. Normally they are $40 per day to rent. At the end of the trial the city council will liaise with police and the residents to see if it will keep the camera operational. It has some of the most sophisticated technology in the world with facial recognition, number plate reading capabilities and advanced night vision. St Albans resident Matt Bonis has been living in the area

KEEPING AN EYE: The camera has some of the best night vision currently available in the world.

since 2009 and said 48 hours after the camera was installed, he slept with his windows open for the first time in years. “There have been a lot less clients around since it went up so the girls are just moving on . . . it is great not having a price list screamed across the street,” he said. In the past he said they had found needles, neighbours had items stolen and sometimes they would find people having sex in their properties. “I have been threatened by pimps, prostitutes and their clients . . . we just want our kids to sleep in a safe, quiet neighbourhood,” Mr Bonis said.

City councillor Ali Jones (above) said the issue is not with prostitution itself, it is the noise, damage and rubbish that is left behind in a residential area.

“If we can get them to move back into the city centre it will make both parties happier,” she said. Cr Jones said she had been working closely with the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective to relocate the girls. Acting Sergeant Nic Adcock said while the camera is mainly a city council initiative, police will be looking carefully at any footage they are provided and act if any criminal activity takes place.

Theatre for St Albans? ANDREW KING

The St Albans Community Centre will not have a pool included in its design but could get a theatre. The new community centre, earmarked for Colombo St in 2017, is in the design process which will be put out for public consultation on May 27. Shirley-Papanui Community Board chairman Mike Davidson is on the working party and said there will be no pool at the new centre. “The Edgeware pool group will take up that slack. It would have been great to have them co-existing on the same site, but we don’t have the room to do both,” he said. St Albans Pavilion and Pool Incorporated were sold the Edgeware Pool site, at 43 Edgeware Rd, for $1 in February. It plans to build a 25m outdoor pool and a smaller covered learners pool. The site is less than 250m from the St Albans centre and will cater for the community’s aquatic needs. Mr Davidson said even if fellow board member Pauline Cotter’s request for the city

council to buy land at 130 Caledonian Rd went ahead there still wouldn’t be enough room. “We need to consider parking and the other amenities the community wants. Also the zoning would be very hard to get around to put a pool in there,” he said. While the pool is off the table there has been talk about a theatre being included in the design. “A movie theatre, like the one that used to be on the new SuperValue site in Edgeware, has been discussed,” Mr

She said while the new centre is built they will have to relocate off-site. “We are having a meeting on Wednesday with the city council to decide were to go while the new centre is built,” she said.

MITRE 10 BUILDING COLOUR Mitre 10 Mega in Papanui will change the colour on the south side of the building from orange to an off-white, after complaints from residents.

It is currently being repainted.

Raewyn Saunders

Sense of community goal for Fendalton Open-air School’s new principal Raewyn Saunders has a passion for good, strong community roots and believes it is the secret to creating a thriving school culture. She speaks to Andrew King Hi Raewyn. Tell us how you view the school you’re stepping into? Well I think it is a well functioning school. It is facing the same challenges that many other schools in the city face. I am really excited and looking forward to getting into the job and tackling some of those challenges head on. What are your goals for the school? I would love it to have the real sense of community. I am not saying that it doesn’t have that now, just I will be looking to continue that when I come in. I want it to be a welcoming and friendly environment that makes it easy for kids to come in and learn. The school is exploding with diversity and we need to cater to that. I think it is a school with a wonderful history, and valuing its past will help us influence the future. You must have taught in a few different places over your career?

I have moved around a bit. I have taught in a real variety of different schools from rural, large city and private schools. I have taught in Fairlie, Geraldine and Palmerston North, I have even done a small stint in Jakarta. Wow, tell me about Jakarta? We went over as a family. I applied for a teaching job at the Jakarta British International School, which taught under the British curriculum. I had a class of 24 students and within that 24 there were 14 different nationalities. It was an incredible experience working with so many different and unique students. Having a diverse career like this has really influenced who I am as a person and I think made me more well rounded. What did you teach before becoming a principal? Well being in primary school you teach a bit of everything. One of my main passions is special education. That has given me another side as a

teacher. It has been wonderful learning more about how people with disabilities learn and it has enriched the way I can support incoming students with learning disabilities into the school. Was it your aspiration to be

new principal I feel that school should be the foundation that starts you wanting to be a learner for life. How do you build that school culture, I would imagine working with the parents is crucial? Relationships with families, students and the wider community network is paramount. We are a people industry and how we develop things with parents is key to getting kids to want to learn. With their help we can influence young people to question and inquire about the world around them. When did you decide you wanted to be in education? If you ask my mother she will tell you I used to play schools when I was a little girl so I think I have always wanted to teach. I didn’t get into it because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. The beauty about teaching in different environments means there has always been a different challenge to take on or different direction I can take where no two days are the same. I love my job and I like making a difference in kids’ lives which is the most rewarding aspect of it. Where did you go to school?

$30,000 raised at fashion show Children and families took to the catwalk last week to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. More than $30,000 was raised from the event held at the Transitional Cathedral. The fashion show organised by M Factor Events last Saturday featured New Zealand fashion brands including Andrea Moore, Augustine, Annah Stretton and Bundle Boutique. Children and their families

from around the north-west area as well as from Greymouth, Fairlie and Auckland who have stayed at Ronald McDonald House modelled in the show. M Factor Events owner Maree Harris said it was a fantastic night with a positive vibe. “Great energy especially with all the children involved,” she said. It was Ms Harris’ seventh fashion show she had organised for Ronald McDonald House af-

ter her two twin nieces stayed at the house for two months when they were born prematurely. Well-known rugby players Wyatt Crockett, Robbie Fruen, Mitchell Drummond and Andy Ellis made an appearance at the event to support the not-forprofit organisation. Along with the rugby celebrities, dancers from Xtreme Rhythm Dance School of Rangiora and Elmwood Normal School performed for the large audience.

CAR UPSIDE DOWN A man was taken to Christchurch Hospital on Wednesday with moderate injuries after he flipped his car onto its roof on Harewood Rd. The car flipped after he hit a traffic island and blocked northbound traffic for about 30min. The crash was at the intersection of Harewood and Waimakariri Rds in Harewood.

Christchurch Girls’ High School will get a new arts faculty building as part of a $27 million development. Construction is set to begin with the arts faculty expecting to be competed by April-May next year. The new facility will include a 275 seated theatre, drama studios, a music room, individual and small ensemble practice rooms, arts, design and photography studios and a school administration. As well as the new arts building the school will see a significant redevelopment of the main four-storey block, gymnasium and other classroom blocks. Principal Pauline Duthie (above) said the centre will provide staff and students with state-of-the-art facilities they deserve to explore and develop their skills. “The arts are a significant part of school life. Lack of access to suitable on-site venues have limited students’ ability

to offer public performance,” she said. The school has been without a purpose-built facility for the arts after the September 2010 earthquake destroyed the its old auditorium and music rooms. The new arts building will be built on the old auditorium’s site at the corner of Matai St East and Deans Ave.

Ms Duthie said the new building will help provide a boost for the arts in the community with a more intimate venue for the community than what may be available. “We are very much looking forward to producing a show and holding recitals in the new theatre,” she said. Last week the Riccarton-

An aspect that ensures the home soaks up sunlight throughout the day and an easy flow from indoor living spaces to the sunny and secure garden will keep entertainers, children and pets equally happy. The convenience of a double internal-access garage plus additional off-street parking adds further practical appeal.

A very sought-after location underpins the value of this investment: handy to schools and shops, family-friendly and standing on solid TC1 land. Presented in immaculate condition, this is a home you can move straight into or rent out from day one, but astute buyers will realise there is plenty of potential here for those wanting to enhance the property and further capitalise on their investment. The vendors have already purchased their next property so 2/57 Withells Road is very definitely for sale on or before auction day. Open Homes: Saturday and Sunday, 2pm to 2.30pm.

your local Views The article headed Funerals on hold at church in the Nor’West News recently may have provided a misleading impression of the good work that is being done by the New Zealand Transport Agency’s contracting team working near St James Harewood. No funerals have in fact been cancelled at the church since work began.

Something on your mind? Email andrew.king@starmedia.kiwi in 200 words or less Facebook us on www.facebook.com/norwestnews

The contracting team has done its best to communicate with church members and has stopped all noisy work when a funeral is in progress or for the burial of ashes. Crews have also helped stabilise some gravestones which had tipped over after the earthquakes so that construction work and any more aftershocks

would not create further damage. Said the Vicar of St James Harewood Matt Watts: “As a church community we have been really thankful for the partnership with the contractors. At our recent Anzac Day service they made extra effort to complete roadworks in time for the Dawn Service.” The project is not a city council cycleway project, it is NZTA work part of the Russley Rd upgrade which includes the building of a safe underpass for cyclists and pedestrians under the roundabout.

It’s more than windows and a door, the building meant so much more. It was a place that clothed our families for a few pennies. A blanket for your bed, a hat

for your head. The 50 cent rack was handy, many a person said the community is looking dandy. Kids looking through the bargain bin, they leave with a grin. Holding their glory, we all have a story and a memory with this shop. We will miss you lots, from the people in the community to the little tots.

New Zealand Transport Agency southern media spokeswoman wrote to Nor’West News in response to an article in the April 24 edition:

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Only about 30 per cent of the calls we attend now actually involve fires. The other 70 per cent includes false alarms, car crashes, hazardous substance incidents and medical emergencies where we provide manpower with first aid skill to back up the experts from St John. Some of our work does not neatly fit into any of the normal categories. An elderly caller last Thursday had knocked a cushion that had fallen down the side of her hot water cylinder. She wondered if it was a fire risk. It probably wasn’t. But St Albans Red Watch crew went to her house and retrieved the cushion which almost certainly saved her days and nights of worry. We also saw the Wainoni crew travelling to Collingwood St in New Brighton the same day to a child who had managed to trap their leg in a gate. All the efforts of the locals were to no avail. A tool known as a hooligan bar, a kind of short crowbar, was utilised by the crew to bend the railings enough to release the

trapped leg. There were a couple of potentially serious fires in the week. Both were of a suspicious nature. A camper van at the back of a vehicle dealer in St Asaph St was set alight and destroyed recently and on Wednesday night, fireworks were apparently utilised to ignite a fire on the Port Hills that was visible across the city. I’m sure police would appreciate any information that might identify either set of culprits.

SCHOOL PRIDE: Three Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students have taking inspiration from New Zealand artist Flox and decided they will brighten up the school with paintings of native birds, ferns and flowers.

Hitting the right note Wairakei School’s Indiana Williamson has been selected in the Christchurch Boys’ Choir. Principal Shane Buckner said he was thrilled that Indiana had been selected for the “prestigious choir”. “We are told that the judge said you have a very beautiful voice. Those of us who have heard you sing, can certainly vouch for that,” he said. The Christchurch Boys’ Choir was established in 1985 by Clifton Cook. The choir sings a range of pieces from traditional songs, spirituals, sacred song, opera, jazz and movie soundtracks.

“I live and paint in a beautiful rural Bay on Banks Peninsula, surrounded by the ruggedness of the landscape and the constant and ever changing rhythm of the sea. Change is constant, something you can either embrace or ignore. Either way, change challenges us all. This exhibition is entitled ‘Tipping Point’, inspired by that point of change that drives us all, to try new things and to let others go, to change the way we think and act. My paintings express this excitement, the doubt and apprehension that change forces on us all, urging me to try new things and to let others go.

430 ST ASAPH STREET!

Like the Hare, when I am in ‘My Zone’ as an artist in my studio in Port Levy, my imagination takes me to places unknown, experiences and thoughts unheard of, and it is through my paintings that I can truly express these feelings.

RECOVER YOUR LOVED FURNITURE No job too big or small

Where they will lead me is unknown, but just like the Hare, that is what inspires me.” Jacqui is an artist of figurative subjects with life and energy. Jacqui lives and paints on an isolated farm in Port Levy, Banks Peninsula with her husband and daughter Phoebe.

In ‘Mad as a March Hare’, we have a lady suspended, her thoughts in the cloud, searching to find where her next step in life in will take her, while below normality exists.

While Jacqui’s subject matter is invariably the human form, it is secondary to her exploring form, structure, movement, colour and texture. In her recent body of work, there is a translucent feel which gives the paintings a whole new interest.

For the Hare, March means madness, no fear, a month of change and a new era begins and the excitement of the unknown.

She has been painting and exhibiting for a long time. Jacqui is also a past winner of the annual CoCa award.

The power of community Orion is privileged to have been associated with Community Energy Action (CEA) for more than twenty years.

CEA is a charitable trust that provides insulation and energy advice services to the most vulnerable in our community with the overriding objective of creating warmer, healthier and more energy efficient homes.

Results of the Healthy Homes Project, a recent study undertaken by the Canterbury District Health Board and CEA, shows a direct correlation between insulated homes and a reduction in hospital bed days by up to 30%.

Working in a collaborative partnership with CEA has enabled a great deal to be achieved where it is most needed.

Many benefits from insulating homes A successful partnership between community, health and commercial organisations has helped save Canterbury DHB nearly $1m, by providing insulation and/or heating to high health needs patients. As well as reducing hospital costs, it has also assisted in ensuring people can remain in their own homes. In 2011, a Healthy Homes programme was created between the Canterbury DHB and the three Canterbury primary health care organisations, Community Energy Action, Environment Canterbury and the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority. Orion and MainPower also contributed funding into this programme. The programme was developed to keep people in their own homes and communities rather than using hospital services. This recognised Canterbury’s compromised housing stock following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The Canterbury DHB and partnering organisations understood the potential benefits for frequent users of the health system of living in warm and dry homes, including improved physical and mental health. The programme initially focused on people who had been in the Christchurch Hospital at least twice within a year prior to the programme starting (defined as being the highest-needs patients). In July 2013, the programme was extended to include general prac-

tice patients, for example families with children under 17 years of age identified as being at risk and parents with newborn babies. The programme ran from 2011 to late 2014 and the whole programme provided over 1500 insulation installations and 450 heating appliances. Partnerships amongst the organisations meant many Healthy Homes’ clients were referred to other organisations and services, as additional needs were identified. A qualitative report was completed by Pegasus Health in June 2015 on the whole programme. Canterbury DHB invested

$1.7m over 2.5 years between 2011 and 2014, covering 22 per cent of the total programme costs. Around half of the $1.7m invested went towards intervention costs for the 900 highest-needs patients, as defined above. The remaining partnering organisations covered the balance of the total costs. Of those 900 highest-need patients, a significant number of them were aged over 65. There was an approximately 60 per cent/40 per cent split between home owners and tenants. After reviewing the health data, comparing the year prior to the interventions with the year

following, the findings showed a 29.2 per cent reduction in hospital bed days of those 900 patients. This equates to a reduction of five bed days per annum, a cost saving to the Canterbury DHB of nearly $1m. “This means the programme was extremely successful for the community and all involved including the Canterbury DHB,” says Caroline Shone, chief executive of CEA. “Whilst the cost for insulation and heating is a one-off, the benefits last for years. I’m sure for the Canterbury DHB the return on investment can be spent on other health needs. This programme was a first for CEA and the other organisations involved, I am really happy that we have helped so many people working in partnership with Government, private and public sector organisations.” Greg Hamilton from the Canterbury DHB said he was “delighted with the results.” David Meates, CEO of Canterbury DHB said: “This is just brilliant to see the hard evidence being brought to life.” The above analysis only takes into account one of a number of benefits (hospitalisation) which result from improving a home’s insulation. There are other considerable benefits to this programme including: Hospital benefits after the first 12 months – a single intervention has a 40-year life span taking into

account the life of the insulation; benefits to partners, children and others living in the same dwelling; benefits to future occupants; reduction in other primary and community services required for intensive post-discharge rehabilitation; reduction in absenteeism from work/school for all home occupants due to improved overall health; people living in their own homes with better wellbeing and feeling safer; and empowerment through improved physical health, mental health and/ or an improved general state of mind/well-being; establishment of other successful working relationships with a range of organisations, with a focus to assist vulnerable families. To date, EECA has provided approximately $450m worth of subsidies for insulation nationwide through their programmes, including Warm Up New Zealand. The Healthy Home Programme analysis shows the need to continue with programmes such as these, particularly when EECA and CEA through their own surveys, have identified that there are still over 30,000 low income family homes in Canterbury alone, with inadequate or no insulation. There have been other relevant New Zealand studies and discussions over the years around the need to improve housing quality and the associated health benefits.

Rugby fun day encourages kids Pupils from seven north-west schools gathered at Burnside Park last week for a day of rugby. There were more than 60 teams made up of years 4, 5 and 6 pupils taking part in the annual Cantabrians Fun Day, which aims to encourage participation in rugby at primary school level. Christ the King Catholic School, Redwood School, Paparoa Street School, Wairakei School, St Andrew’s College, Fendalton Open-air School and

St Albans School all had teams involved in the fun day. Organiser Barry Turner said it aims to be a day of rugby fun that celebrates participation in sport in a non-competitive way. “We don’t keep track of points and we don’t have a winner, the focus is purely on having fun with teammates and having the opportunity to play against other schools, including some country schools which are not involved in the weekly schools programme,” he said.

Local pharmacy has long history of friendly service The ReDWooD Pharmacy in main North Road has been in business for 60 years and over that time has become an integral part of the local community. Well-known and highly regarded by everyone was owner Peter morgan, who has now retired after 42 years at the pharmacy. “Peter will be sorely missed by all who knew him, and it won’t be the same,” says Keith elliott, who has had a half share in the business since 2002 and has now taken full ownership. Two new faces have joined the team – pharmacists eve Kitto and Paul Lau. “Both are very experienced and capable,” says Keith. “eve is here fulltime and Paul is part-time. he had a pharmacy in Cathedral Square before

the earthquake.” The three hope to continue providing the same community-focused care the pharmacy prides itself upon, Keith says.

Family dentists provide friendly, gentle treatment The Team at Redwood Family Dentists has been providing a full range of family dental services to the local community since the early 1990s, treating patients of all ages, from young children to the elderly, with gentleness and professionalism. The practice has three surgeries, with five dentists – two male and three female – offering treatments ranging from fillings, extractions, root canals and cleaning through to the more sophisticated dental services. These include cosmetic work such as bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign® (clear braces) and Fastbraces®. For teeth whitening they offer the Zoom method, which is carried out at the clinic, as well as providing trays of whitening solution that patients can apply at home. Implants are also available through Redwood Family Dentists, says dentist Shane Summerfield. “an oral surgeon does the implants and we then do the required cosmetic work on top,” mr Summerfield says. all the dentists understand that there are people who are very nervous about having dental treatment, he says, and they cater for them accordingly with pain mitigation. “We provide IV sedation if required, or otherwise oral sedation or nitrous, so patients can feel much more relaxed about having their dental work done.”

Fast growing region The boundaries of Canterbury Plunket cover a lot of ground with volunteer groups and clinics based from Kaikoura to the rakaia river and from the alps to akaroa. Canterbury Plunket is the 4th fastest growing Plunket region in new Zealand and we are proud support the largest amount of volunteers in the country also. Perceptions of Plunket usually centre on our government funded Well Child/Tamariki ora nurses that run drop in centres, clinics and provide home visits for new families. This is distinct from our Community services that make up almost a quarter of our total contacts a year. Community services are completely self-funded and reliant on volunteers. While administered and lead at a Canterbury area level, these Community services are run for and by the communities they are based in, responding directly to community need.

CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL OF MUSIC 2015 was a really busy year for the Christchurch school of Music with lots of exciting things happening. In september the school celebrated its Diamond Jubilee – 60 years of providing excellent music tuition and ensemble opportunities to thousands of Cantabrians. Other highlights of 2015 were working with G&a Creative to develop a new website, logo and brand for the school and the signing of a sponsorship arrangement with the University of Canterbury for our flagship orchestra, now known as the UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra. Most exciting of all, in December, the school moved back home onto the site of the old Music Centre. with the support of the Catholic Diocese, the school is

housed in four portable buildings on the site adjacent to Catholic Cathedral College where all the instrumental and voice teaching takes place on a saturday morning and after school. The buildings will officially open on Friday 13 May with a celebration to say thank-you to all the organisations that have supported us to get to this stage. Many hours of work have gone into fitting out the new buildings with furniture, shelving, storage and teaching materials to ensure it is a friendly, welcoming and efficient place for the school to operate from. Particular thanks to Creative New Zealand and Rata Foundation who have provided financial support for the fit out so along with its new branding, a new

user-friendly website and a great new place to call home the CsM is in good heart and enjoying a fantastic year of music making in 2016. From pre-schoolers to septuagenarians, the CsM caters for a wide range of ages and musical styles offering opportunities for group or individual tuition in all instruments and an ensemble to suit everyone. with orchestras, choirs, jazz and rock bands, world music ensembles, wind ensembles and concert bands every taste is catered for. all ensembles take part in regular concerts including saturday soirees and the popular annual showcase Concert, which will be held this year in the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Tips to improve your running Running should be as easy as putting one foot in front of the other right? Anyone can run, but having good technique can make it feel so much easier. good running technique will make your runs feel less tiring, reduce your risk of injury, and ultimately be more enjoyable. Muscle People Physiotherapists specialise in assessing and improving running technique whether you are a competitive runner or just running for fun. start getting better now with these basic tips: POSTURE • Keep your head straight look straight ahead of you, about 30-40 metres out in front and avoid looking down at your feet. looking down will create tension in your neck and shoulders. • shoulders back and down Your shoulders should be back and down not up by your ears. Keep them relaxed and avoid tensing them. don’t hunch over as this restricts breathing. • Keep your elbows at 90 degrees Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree angle. Try to swing your arms forward and back, not across your body. This arm movement helps to propel you forward. Your hands should be relaxed, but don’t let them flop. Tight hands can cause tension all the way up to the back and shoulders. • solid core Focus on keeping your core (trunk) firm, though not rigid, and straight and your

hips and shoulders level and relaxed. Keeping this position in your hips can help prevent low back and hip pain. FOOT STRIKE AND LEG POSITION • don’t strike the ground too heavily good running is light and quiet. You should land in the middle of your foot with a slightly bent knee. Whatever your weight, your feet should not slap loudly as they hit the ground. light steps are more efficient and cause less stress to the body and landing on the middle of your foot is the safest way to land for most recreational runners. That’s the basics but there’s always more we can do to help. Try these: RUNFIT – The technical edge Muscle People Physiotherapy & the YMCA gym have a running group in hagley Park – RunFit, led by a Physiotherapist and Canterbury competitive runner, and a Personal Trainer from the YMCA gym. RunFit focuses on running technique which is vital to improving speed, reducing injuries and making running more enjoyable for both regular runners and the beginner. RunFit is ideal for regular runners who are looking to challenge themselves, as well as the beginning runner who wants to start with good technique and the guidance of professionals. diane and Celia have recently completed a RunFit programme had this to say: diane, from st Martins “i’ve had

three calf injuries in the last 18 months and i wanted to make sure my running technique wasn’t contributing to that. over the course of the RunFit programme i improved my technique, got faster and i’m injury free. My training plan is on track for my first marathon in June.” Celia, works in sydenham, “RunFit is the perfect combination of running drills, core strength and running and i enjoyed the variety. The core strength training has helped with my tennis and posture and i’ve learnt a lot about running form to help with training in my solo sessions. The physiotherapist and personal trainer are fantastic and work really well together, their on-hand knowledge is invaluable. The small group environment is very encouraging and works for all abilities. i highly recommend RunFit - in fact i’ve just signed up for more!”

Beat the Cold with Superfoods Meat pies, hot chocolate and lots of mashed potatoes – it may seem that all wintertime foods are packed with calories. however, winter is a great time to enjoy healthy foods with fibre, colour and flavour. you just need to know what to look for! Legumes are often passed over in summer, but are readily available for your winter recipes. Peas, beans, nuts and lentils are great sources of vitamins, minerals and protein. try adding kidney beans, chickpeas or lentils into your soups and stress for a hearty meal. Perfect for a Chilly Day! Dark leafy greens, like spinach and kale, are rich in Vitamins a, C and K. not only do these greens thrive in cold conditions, the cold also helps take the edge off of any bitter flavours. Great way to serve these greens is sautéed with garlic and olive oil. Garlic also helps fight those winter nasties. Pumpkins and butternuts are in season now and make a healthy option. One cup of cooked squash has only 80 calories, but is rich in vitamin C and contains 214% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin a! these colourful veggies are also a great

source of potassium and folate. roast with kumara, honey and walnuts to make a warm salad packed with nutrition. not getting enough of the sunshine vitamin? Salmon is perfect for boosting your vitamin D intake during the colder months. Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system, crucial when the flu is doing its rounds! But don’t forget that superfoods need to be part of a super-diet. there’s no point having a healthy breakfast then hopping off to a fast – food joint for dinner! happy healthy eating this winter.
