Options for a permanent St Albans community centre, which could include a pool, will be discussed this week. City councillor Pauline Cotter has called for city council staff to organise community consultation on the proposed centre before the end of the month. The lease of the transitional St Albans Community Centre on Colombo St, which was supplied by Lions Clubs International, will expire in April, 2016. Ms Cotter also requested that city council staff work with the St Albans Maria Bayer Pool Group to explore options for a mixed-use facility.

Lyttelton based illustrator Helen Taylor delighted Cotswold School pupils with her illustrated books last week. She showed the students how to take a story, sketch your ideas onto small paper, copy these only large sheets of paper and add vibrant colours. Ms Taylor has illustrated more than 20 books in New Zealand, completing about one book each year. Her preferred method of painting is watercolour. The pupils were able to preview her latest book, Kakapo Dance, which should be out in shops this week. In the afternoon, a few children were selected from their classes to take part in an afternoon workshop, where they listened to a story that Ms Taylor

No delay to cycleway plans BY GABRIELLE STUART

Construction of the Uni-Cycle cycleway is expected to start in November, after a bid to delay the project failed. The planned cycleway will run from Canterbury University to the city, and is the first of the 13 major routes in the $68.3 million city council cycleway network. Representatives from Christchurch Girls’ High School and the Ministry of Education asked the city council on Thursday to delay finalising plans for the cycleway by up to three months. The school wanted to finalise its own plans for rebuilding and extending earthquake-damaged buildings before work on the cycleway started. Their plans involved buying parts of Matai St, which would require the street to be closed to traffic or reduced to one lane. But city council staff said that would not be possible, because of the amount of traffic using the street and because there were residents living on the street who needed access to their homes. Resource Management Group consultant Darryl Millar, who represented the school at the

REBUILD: Christchurch Girls’ High School Board of Trustees chairman Mike Lay and acting principal Peter Sawyer in front of the school’s auditorium, one of the earthquake-damaged buildings they hope to extend and repair at the school. meeting, said extending into the street was the only option for the school. The school is bordered by the Avon River to one side, and surrounded by public roads. He said that both the cycleway and the school development were projects being done for the community, and he hoped the city council would take the time to make sure the projects aligned. But deputy mayor Vicki Buck

said it was a safety issue for students cycling to the school. “I think their safety matters. I’m happy that we work with the school around alternatives, but I’m not happy to delay these cycleways, now, or later, or at any time.” City councillor Phil Clearwater agreed. “There’s huge traffic congestion problems on Riccarton Rd, and the cycleway here will make travelling to school safer for cyclists.

Call for action on community centre options •From page 1 The St Albans Pool was taken over by the city council in 2002, and demolished in 2006. The pool was more than 70 years old

at the time. Ms Watson said the key to the project would be getting the groups together to create one united plan.

We cannot possibly delay this.” School board of trustees chairman Mike Lay said that the school fully supported the concept of the cycleway. But he said that the proposed changes at the school, particularly around the entrances and exits, could cause safety issues for cyclists using the new cycleway. He said that the school would go ahead with its plans. “We’ll just have to proceed with our planning, and should there be a change in entrances and exits the council will have to understand that it may compromise the cycleway – and we don’t want that to happen.” City councillor Yani Johanson said the council needed to make sure that staff continued to work with the school.

On the crest of a wave and Artist Bon Suter is about to start work on a giant sculpture near the New Brighton Pier, to mark 100 years since the visit of Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku to the area. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about her work across the world, in movies, on people’s feet and on the dunes of New Brighton.

So, tell me what you’re working on at the moment? I’ve got an exhibition I’ll be hanging on Friday, out in Darfield. The exhibition will be a mix of paintings and sculpture. I’ll have five pieces in it from a bit of series, alongside the work of two other artists. Last time we spoke you were looking for an engineer to help with your Duke Kahanamoku wave sculpture. Did you find one? I’m still looking. I have just been ringing the council about it this morning, and I’ve already rang around a few of my friends, but no one seems to know anyone who could do it. Why do you need an engineer to help with this piece? Because it is extremely large, and it’s important that it is completely safe. Have you ever done anything of this scale before? I’ve never done anything

this large. It will be 8m long, or maybe even nine – we have not confirmed yet, because they haven’t yet confirmed the budget. Everything I’ve done so far has been on a volunteer basis. How long have you worked as a sculptor? I’ve been sculpting for around 30 years. It was while I was working on a movie, way back then, that I was inspired to start sculpting. At the beginning I always did a lot of clay work, and I went to a pottery studio at Mt Pleasant to learn how to work clay. It was around that time that limestone came into fashion and I did a symposium focusing on limestone. From then on I have hardly looked back. I love that process of taking away, rather than adding as is done in clay. Since then I’ve done a few ice sculptures, and some work overseas – I was sent with some other artists to our sister city in Adelaide to work on some projects there. I’ve done a few council commissions, including the large koru out the back of Stanmore Rd, which was quite a big challenge. You mentioned that you were working on a movie 30 years ago. What were you doing? My friend, Trixie, was a

Sometimes I go for wanders down the beach, and I’m the only one out there. I’ve heard legends of your sculpture garden. How did it start? I was working on some sculptures with a friend, a deaf and blind guy called Donald Gibson. I needed more space for the work, so I asked council if I could use the sand dunes opposite my house. Since then I got several wellknown sculptures from across the country, and one English man too, to create sculptures there, and I’ve developed a garden around them. Do you get a lot of visitors stop by to see it? I do get quite a lot, mainly overseas visitors. Because I’ve chosen to live in south New Brighton, it’s the road to nowhere really, not many people come down this way. So it’s mostly tourists. If you weren’t an artist, what would you be doing? I would still be working as a reflexologist, or I do like working with people with disabilities as well. I worked for a few years in nursing, but at that stage I had three little children, so I left nursing and studied alternative health. I started a clinic and worked for several years as a reflexologist, but I was the only

The third had his house here too, but he’s living with me at the moment as his place was badly damaged in the quakes. It’s lovely to have them so close because I have three grandchildren now as well. What are your favourite things to do in your free time – if you have free time. I love walking. I love tramping and going out into the bush, and I love wandering the beach. What about music? Is there anything you particularly like to listen to while you work? I usually listen to the national radio programmes to be honest. I quite like classical and blues style, and I went to a concert in Lyttelton the other day which was wonderful – I love to listen to music live. As far as your work goes, is there anything you would still like to create or achieve? This great big wave that I’ve been commissioned to build is like the ultimate for me. I’m so honoured to be asked to do it, and so happy that I can create something for the community that I love. There are all sorts of challenges to working with concrete, so this stuff really appeals. And it’s a collaborative project, which means I won’t be doing all the back-breaking work on my own.

Crashes triple at ‘tricky’ roundabout BY MAX TOWLE

Police are worried about a “tricky” roundabout where crashes have tripled since its redevelopment in 2012. There were nine crashes at the Halswell Junction Rd and Springs Rd multi-lane roundabout last year after it reopened in December 2012 to accommodate the first stage of the Southern Motorway. Of those crashes, one resulted in a serious injury, five minor (two in the same crash), and four noninjury. In the three years before development, the intersection saw an average of three crashes per year, one being a serious injury. Police Senior Sergeant and community services manager Peter Stills, who uses the “tricky” roundabout every day, said he was worried about its design. “If you’re heading to town, you often get people turning right towards the motorway from the centre lane,” he said. “The right lane has the option to go straight ahead, so you often get drivers cutting across others.” Senior Sergeant Stills said at rush hour a glut of drivers covering the lane markings made things difficult. He said he often saw dangerous driving. “People tend to be in a hurry so they would take risks that they otherwise wouldn’t take,” he said. “It’s a large roundabout so driv-

ers think if they pull out in front of someone, there’s a fair chance they’re going to get seen. “I would urge all drivers using that intersection to be extra careful.” Traffic flow through the intersection has doubled from 10,800 vehicles a day to 21,500 vehicles a day since 2012. New Zealand Transport Agency highway manager Colin Knaggs

TRICKY: Crashes at the Halswell Junction Rd and Springs Rd roundabout have tripled, while traffic has doubled since it was redesigned in 2012. PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN said the intersection would change again when construction work on stage two of the Southern Motorway begins in late 2015.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS: Drivers are urged to take extra care when using this roundabout.

HEALTH

Keep an eye on the early birds Morning people are likely to be dishonest later in the day, says a body clock study. Antonia Molloy investigates DON’T trust a “morning person” in the evening because people who are perky in the early hours are more likely to be dishonest later in the day, researchers say. Psychologists from three United States universities studying how the internal body clocks of humans influence their ethical choices found that when a person’s energy levels are depleted they find it harder to resist dishonourable temptations. The converse is true of “night owls”, who are more likely to behave unethically in the morning. The study, titled The Morality of Larks and Owls, examined the behaviour of 200 people who were given problem-solving tests and games to complete at different times of day without being told that the scientists were actually studying their honesty. Building on previous research suggesting people become more unethical as the day wears on, the researchers from Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University and the University of Washington examined the relationship between energy patterns and ethics. They focused on the human

circadian rhythm, or body clock, which controls wakefulness and sleep and varies across individuals, meaning that some people naturally rise early, while others prefer to stay up late. One part of the study was a dice-rolling test, which took place either early in the morning (7 to 8.30) or late at night (midnight to 1.30). The participants were asked to roll the dice and report the number they threw, knowing that they would be paid higher cash rewards for higher numbers. The team found that larks in the night session reported higher rolls than those in the morning session, while owls in the morning session reported higher rolls than owls in the night session. The results tallied with the hypothesis that morning people would behave less honestly in the evening, when they were most tired, whereas night owls would do so in the morning. The findings undermined the commonly held idea that early risers are more honest than people who regularly stay up into the early hours. “They cast doubt on the stereotype that evening people

depending on the pressures of the moment.” One of the study’s authors, Sunita Sah of Georgetown University, said the findings had implications for businesses that relied on employees working late night and early morning shifts, as it proved that some people would be better at making decisions at certain times of day than others.

The authors also suggested that future research could be carried out to establish whether certain “interventions”, such as a mid-day nap, might redress the balance and make early risers more honest later in the day. The findings will be outlined in full in the journal Psychological Science later this year. — Independent

A memorial sculpture of Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku near the New Brighton Pier may be approved this week. The sculpture would commemorate the visit of Kahanamoku to New Brighton nearly 100 years ago. The New Brighton Pier, Foreshore and Promotion Society, hope to see the sculpture completed in time for the centenary. The Olympic gold medal winning swimmer visited in February 1915, where he gave the first modern surfing demonstration recorded in New Zealand. Society secretary, Madeline Findley, has met with city council staff to discuss the location of the sculpture. She said that there was a lot of paperwork involved in getting approval for the site and sculpture plans ticked off by an engineer and city council staff. She hoped that the society could get approval to start the project soon. “We’re pretty confident that we’ll get the approval soon, and we have the funding in place ready to start.” New Brighton artist Bon Suter has been commissioned to make the sculpture.

BIG SURF: Olympic swimmer and the ‘father of modern surfing’, Duke Kahanamoku, gave the first recorded surfing demonstration in New Zealand at New Brighton almost 100 years ago.

BORN TO SURF: Duke lived in downtown Honolulu his whole life and became a beach boy at Waikiki. Today, there is a statue in Waikiki of Duke.

It is likely to be about 8m long, crafted from concrete which would be polished to give it a glazed shine. Local craftspeople are already lined up to help with creating the frame, the concrete for the sculpture, while several people have volunteered to sand and polish the piece. The society hopes to place

it in the grassed area to the south of the pier. About $25,000 of funding has been set aside by the society, and further funding is still being sought for lighting. Extra funding would allow the society to light the sculpture. • 5mins with Bon Suter, page 4 and 5

Stay in kitchen when cooking BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER Christchurch now has a reputation of being the most arson prone city in the country. That is because of the neverending deliberate lighting of fires in empty homes. Last week we saw another in Worcester St, set on fire for the second time and providing a spectacular sight for the locals in the area. The motives for those setting these fires are almost cer-

tainly varied. But for those of us in the business of trying to halt the flow, the last empty and damaged home to be demolished cannot come soon enough. Sadly that may be years away yet. As always, there were kitchen fires, in Centennial Ave in Riccarton, Tintern Ave in Avonhead and Halton St in Strowan. And once again I have to plead with everyone to stay in the kitchen when cooking. It’s the way to prevent an awful lot

of heartache. When you’re in the factory, on the trusty forklift with a pallet on the front, and you turn, bumping into the wall, to set off an immediate screaming fire alarm it tends to give you a bit of a fright, followed quickly by that “oh my God, what have I done?’ feeling. This is what happened in a factory in Bromley last week with the pallet bumping into a manual fire alarm which responded by activating. No real harm. Just a lot of embarrassment.

Koru Care Annual Charity Auction

Gilbert Wealleans Social Editor 021 225 8226

he vintage guardians of New Zealand’s skies formed a winged guard of honour for the guests attending the Koru Care Annual Charity Auction, as they ﬁled past to take their places at the dinner tables on July 19. The Air Force Museum’s Aircraft Hall was ﬁlled with music and the cacophony of the loud and lively bidding for the luxury items, in which was the smartest and biggest hanger party of the year. Following the dinner, and with attendees emptier in the pocket than at the beginning of the evening, the counting could begin to eventually enable Koru Care children to take their dream holiday to Disneyland. Canterbury people stepped out on a cold and rainy night and with the national carrier, Air New Zealand, celebrated the 30th Koru Care anniversary in style and with generosity.

Monday August 4 2014

Ideas for land use aim of campaign Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee says he expects huge participation in the public engagement process to determine the future use of the Waimakariri District’s residential red zones. The campaign was launched on Wednesday. “It’s designed to give as many individuals and groups as possible the opportunity to put forward their ideas for the land most affected by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. “This campaign is supported by the key agencies and strategic partners who are working together to rebuild the region, including the Waimakariri District Council, the Christchurch City Council and Te Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu. “Critical issues needed to be considered before this process could begin, including how horizontal infrastructure within the red zones might be repaired, maintained or removed, as well as issues like flood mitigation. “Waimakariri District is dealing with a far smaller land area than Christchurch city in this respect, so has identified what essential infrastructure is required and is now in a position to get the public engagement process underway. “We’re all very keen to hear what ideas the community will contribute.” Approximately one square kilometre of land has been zoned red in the Waimakariri District in Kaiapoi, Kairaki and Pines Beaches. “While that might not sound like a terribly large space, it amounts to an area the size of 74 rugby fields plus 1800 tennis courts, with a bit of space left over,” Mr Brownlee says. Waimakariri District Mayor David Ayers says there is considerable interest in the local community, particularly in the KaiapoiPines-Kairaki area, over the future of our residential red zones.

“We’re very excited about the opportunity to create something positive out of an experience which has been so difficult for so many people. “It’s great to be getting this community discussion under way,” Mr Ayers says. Of the 1048 properties red-zoned in the Waimakariri District, owners of just 36 properties have chosen not to accept a voluntary offer from the Crown. The broader public engagement campaign to determine the future use of all of the residential red zones across greater Christchurch is called Canvas, and will be run by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, working with the Waimakariri District Council to co-host the face-to-face engagement with the local community. People can go to the canvas website – www.canvasredzone.org.nz – to contribute their ideas, find out more about the land and see what others are saying. There will also be community meetings and other opportunities to join the conversation. The campaign will later be extended to offer a chance for people to make suggestions on the future use of the residential red zones within Christchurch. “Christchurch city has a much bigger job on its hands making decisions about remaining horizontal infrastructure and flood mitigation,” Mr Brownlee says. Mayor Lianne Dalziel says this work is a priority for the council. “We want to ensure residents’ groups and others with an interest in how the red zone is used are fully involved in the public engagement and we’re working to get that conversation started as soon as possible.“We’re anxious to capture the collective community knowledge that exists about this land so we can ensure it becomes a major asset to the city as a whole,” she says.

Silver Medal

at 2014 NZ Pie Competition

A silver medal for their mince and cheese pie is the latest honour for family owned Kidd’s Cakes & Bakery. The winners of various categories in the NZ Bakel’s Pie Awards were announced at the start of the week, with the annual pie awards attracting bakers from throughout the country. Over the last 18 years the event has seen Bakers submit their pies for judging in a range of categories, and the winners of each category, whether savoury or sweet are then in the running for the Supreme Pie Award.

The NZ Supreme Pie Awards provide a fantastic competition vehicle to test and match skills against some of the best bakers in the country. With over 5,000 pie entries put forward each year, the Pie Awards remain one of the most prestigious honours that any baker in New Zealand can strive to win. This year’s event once again did not disappoint with a high quality standard of entries competing for 12 coveted category titles and then ultimate NZ Supreme Pie award.

last 18 years of the NZ Supreme Pie Awards the business has consistently achieved numerous placing and medals in the various categories. To make the top 10 positions throughout New Zealand in any of the categories is an enormous achievement in itself, states Chad. “This year there was approximately 1,000 pie entries in the mince and cheese category. Kidd’s Cakes & Bakery has been entering the competition for the last 18 years, and every year we aim to enter as many categories as possible with exception of the Seafood Pie section. In that time we have won or been placed more than not. In 2013 our Bacon & Egg Pie won gold. This year due to time constraints with the opening of our new and improved bakery premises (on the same location) it was the first time our business only entered six pie categories.

Silver Award Winning Mince & Cheese Pie on pie pastry cutting in the tin, pastry height and layering components. This was because with over 8,000 pie entries this year, we knew that judging would be a difficult task, and any defects in pastry or look would automatically eliminate your pie entry from progressing further in the competition.” Originally specialising in decorated cakes for weddings and birthdays, Kidd’s Cakes & Bakery expanded to now operate as a full line bakery with everything sold baked fresh in store. Although the businesses signature product remains decorative cakes they have worked hard to create a unique ‘Kidd’s Cakes experience’ when people walk through the doors. This has been successful with the help of a bakery department that is committed and passionate about producing a high level and variety of products across the board. “It is important to us that our customers always see new and improved products appearing on our shelves, and not getting stale with what we have to offer as the ‘Kidd’s Bakery experience,” states Chad. This has been the main focus from the start when my father Martin first opened the doors, and as the business has grown following in his footsteps myself and my wife, and now my 13 year old son are determined to leave our own unique handprint on the business. The new bakery shop and café has been a huge success and has received overwhelming support from locals”.

Award Winning Bakery Team Recognised as the ‘Olympics’ of pie making in New Zealand, the event tests the standards and techniques of baking and pie creation from start to finish. Baker Chad Meehan of Kidd’s Cakes & Bakery believes these are the awards that every bakery in New Zealand needs to enter. “It provides an opportunity to perfect your pie making skills from the creation of the pastry, to the infusion of flavour in the pie filling and taking care with bringing it all together in a pie. It also offers ‘a real hands on’ opportunity for bakeries to take time out of their everyday routine and spend quality time perfecting their products. The win-win equation of this is showcasing top of the line products and ensuring our customers are receiving the ultimate in quality and perfection”. The iconic bakery on Cranford Street for the last 28 years has seen many changes and rapid business growth. However its reputation has always remained focused on its original philosophy; of utilising only the best ingredients to produce high quality cakes and bakery products, on time, and to client’s specifications. It is not surprising then that for the

Kidd’s Cakes & Bakery are proud to continue the tradition of flying the South Island flag in an event that is consistently dominated by North Island entries. It shows New Zealand that down south we are up with the best bakers New Zealand has to offer. In securing the silver medal in the Mince & Cheese category and a 5th placing with our Vegetarian Pie we are proving to our customers that we are always asking ourselves ‘how can we do it even better for the customer’. The educational aspect of the event is that as a baker it provides the opportunity to keep learning your trade. This year, states Chad we were particularly pleased with the care we took to perfect our pastry base. We placed a huge focus

GARDENING

Many types of magnificent magnolias

ESTABLISHED: Magnolia colours are plentiful.

Late winter is the season when deciduous magnolias are at their best. August seems to force these gorgeous flowers to open in a rush. The breathtaking sight of the large, tulip-like blooms perching on bare branches can send passers-by rushing to the nursery to buy something similar. There are dozens of magnolia varieties, and making a choice can be a formidable task. The names are confusing so it’s usually easiest to forget nomenclature and just go for the flower you like most (remembering, of course, to check the ultimate height on the label). Most grow into small trees but, if space is tight, look for one of the shrub-sized star magnolias. Because magnolias come from cool climates with rich, moisture-holding soil, keeping them happy through hot New Zealand summers can be a challenge. It’s important to take the opportunity to improve the soil as much as possible before planting. Choose a spot that gets at least half a day’s sun and is protected from strong winds.

GROUND COVER: Most magnolias grow into small trees. Start by clearing grass or ground-covering plants from an area about 1m across, then dig plenty of manure or good compost and some longlasting fertiliser into the soil. Because magnolias hate being dry, it can also be helpful to add some water-storing crystals into the planting area.

come together

Create a planting hole that’s about twice the size of the pot and approximately the same depth. Take the plant out of the pot with care (magnolias hate root disturbance) and sit it into the planting hole. Backfill, then water well to settle everything into place. Lastly, spread a layer

of organic mulch. This will keep the soil moist and stop competitive grass from growing back over the root area. Once the magnolia is well established you can plant some bulbs around the base to add extra interest in late winter and spring. •More gardening, page 26

Exercise can relieve

arthritis pain

re you living with the pain of arthritis? If you are, you may benefit from an exercise programme. Appropriate exercise can result in reduced pain, reduced stiffness, improved function and better overall wellbeing. Arthritis New Zealand offers both land and water-based exercise classes in Christchurch. These are held at various times and venues across the city. An exciting new option is the PEDAL Programme. This joint initiative between Arthritis New Zealand and Sport Canterbury is a an eight-week programme combining stationary cycling and skills for people with arthritis affecting their lower limbs. This free programme commences on Monday, August 4. For further information on any of these exercise programmes, phone 0800 663 463 tollfree, or visit www.arthritis.org.nz. There are 530,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis and it’s one of the leading causes of disability in New Zealand. And while it is certainly true that many older people have arthritis, it is completely misleading to think of arthritis as being an older person’s disease because arthritis can occur to anyone at any age.

Reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease naturally

umerous studies have shown Red Yeast Rice (RYR) extract to be an effective, safer option to maintain healthy cholesterol levels in most people. RYR has long been used in China as a natural preservative, spice and food colouring and is what gives the famous Peking duck its red colour. It has also been used for over a 1000 years as a common Chinese medicine, especially for digestion and healthy blood circulation. Although RYR contains a nutrient called monacolin K that is chemically similar to the man-made chemical used in statin drugs, a main difference is it is a natural substance that the body knows how to handle.

steoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It is also known as degenerative joint disease, and it is characterised by loss of cartilage and joint degeneration causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. An essential building block for cartilage is glucosamine. Healthy joints actually make their own glucosamine, but only produce cartilage when glucosamine is plentiful. Researchers have found taking sufficient glucosamine appears to trigger the joints’ own production of glucosamine and formation of new cartilage in many cases. It has also been shown to reduce pain and increase joint mobility better than taking

Not only this, but RYR has also been shown to lower lipoprotein(a), a damaging blood fat that can have 10 times greater risk factor for cardiovascular disease than high LDL cholesterol. Statins are known to reduce Co-Q10 levels that can cause muscle pain, aching joints, low energy and cardiovascular problems. As a precaution and for extra cardiovascular protection, CO-Q10 is added to RYR formulas.

pharmaceutical pain relievers. Chondroitin sulphate is a natural part of cartilage and connective tissue. Researchers have found if they supply the body with extra chondroitin from shark cartilage, this helps by supplying nutrients for the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue. It acts like a fluid magnet, drawing fluids and nutrients into the cartilage, enabling it to grow and be replaced. Glucosamine and chondroitin in sufficient amounts appear to have a synergistic affect and may speed the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue.

GARDENING

Top tips for pot mix ENERGY-EFFICIENT Is your garden ready for the summer season? A bit of quick colour can do wonders, so fill bowls with flowering plants like petunias, geraniums or lobellias. Container plants are popular but when it comes to potting mix, confusion reigns. Is potting mix really necessary? Won’t soil do the same job? And is it true that potting mix can be dangerous to handle? Here are some answers to these common questions: Why should I use a quality potting mix? A quality potting mix provides the best growing medium for container plants. Quality potting mixes, unlike soil, maintain a proper balance between holding moisture and draining well. This means that plant roots can have access to sufficient water without the risk of drowning or dying from lack of oxygen. Soil, because its texture varies so greatly, isn’t always suitable to use in pots. Potting mixes can be specifically formulated for special purposes and situations. This means you can

COLOUR: Potting mixes can be specifically formulated for special purposes. provide plants with the most suitable conditions for healthy growth. Tips for re-potting Start by watering thoroughly. Invert the pot and carefully remove the plant. Don’t pull it by the stem. Sometimes it helps to roll the pot on its side and squeeze gently to loosen the roots. In extreme cases it may be necessary to break the old pot or cut it away from the root ball. Remove some of the old potting mix and check the roots for damage or disease. Trim these back to a healthy section. Re-pot into (preferably) a slightly larger pot. Firm into place but don’t press too hard or you’ll risk damaging the roots. Leave at least 2cm of space at the top of the mix for watering. Water thoroughly. This settles the mix into

place and removes air pockets. A few weeks later, feed with a fertiliser that suits container plants. Don’t use dry, granular fertilisers – such as rose food – because there’s too great a risk of burning roots. Instead stick to controlled release or liquid plant foods. Is potting mix dangerous? Like soil and organic matter, potting mixes may carry any one of a range of beneficial or harmful bacteria. To avoid problems it’s best to follow some simple precautions when handling any of these materials. Keep potting mix moist, avoid breathing dust from potting mix, wear gloves and, most importantly, wash your hands with soap and water when you’ve finished potting, or working with soil or organic matter.

HEAT PUMPS

It is best to talk to the experts to tailor a solution to best suit your individual requirements. This can be done from your architectural plans or from a free in-home consultation. Heat pumps are known to be one of the most energy-efficient forms of heating available. In addition to being able to provide up to 4.9 kilowatt of energy for every 1kW used, there are the added benefits of cooling, dehumidifying and air filtration (great for people with allergies or asthma) benefits no other heating appliance can offer.

Enviro Master Ltd is your air conditioning and heat pump specialist and has been servicing the Christchurch area for over 12 years now. Enviro Master supplies, installs and services all the leading brands, including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin.

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.

If you’re out Church Corner way and feeling peckish, call into 10a Yaldhurst Rd and experience some great value, great tasting, Middle Eastern influenced food. The Abrahim’s arrived in Christchurch from Egypt 23 years ago and during this time have owned and operated two well known takeaway restaurants - their current Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis Eat In/Takeaway and their former Edgeware store. Being influenced by a wide mix of civilisations, Egytian cuisine is diverse and it is many of these authentic dishes that the Abrahim’s offer on their new season menu. “When it comes to delicious authentic tasting exotic food we offer many modern menu options, you can rely on Church Corner Mediterranean Style Souvlaki to satisfy your taste buds!” said Mahmoud. “The whole idea behind take away food is that you don't have to do the dishes, and you get a delicious meal for a decent price. We're not trying to change the face of cuisine in Christchurch, we're just delivering satisfying, delicious food that fills your tummy and makes you smile!” And Church Corner Mediterranean Style Souvlaki delivers exactly that! All served with

fresh crisp salad, hommus and three delicious sauces - mains range traditional Souvlaki, Couscous, and Falafel meals through to pasta dishes including Beef Lasagna. Appealing to the sweet tooth is a recently added dessert cabinet. In here you’ll find traditional sweets such as Turkish Delight, Vanilla and Cocoa Halvas (a traditional Middle Eastern fudge), and freshly baked on site, Baklava (a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and honey) and Basbousa (a traditional Somali sweet cake). An ice cream counter has been installed and will open for the summer. For exceptional value, check out their Special Combo Deals. Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis is open Monday and Tuesday 4.30pm to 9.30pm and Wednesday through to Sunday from 11am to 10pm. For express service, phone your order through on 341-6700. Their menu is on their website. Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis, 10a Yaldhurst Rd, ph 341 6700. www.churchcornersouvlakis.co.nz www.facebook.com/Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis & Kebab
