Merivale residents take up parking fight BY GABRIELLE STUART
Traffic and parking problems are escalating in Merivale, but residents hope to gain victory tonight in their battle to reclaim car parks outside their homes. As more businesses have moved in around the intersection of Holmwood Rd and Rossall St, finding a park in the area has become a growing problem for
both customers and residents. Holmwood St resident Roy Bickerstaffe said customers regularly parked across residents’ driveways because they couldn’t find a park. He had also found people parked up his driveway, leaving their car there while they went to get a coffee at the shops. He hopes to convince the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board
tonight to put more restrictions on car parking in the area. That would free up parks by discouraging commuters from parking there. The block of shops on the corner of Holmwood Rd and Rossall St have been rebuilt and extended since the earthquakes, and include a busy cafe and a bakery. Mr Bickerstaffe estimated that more than 30 people worked at

businesses on the street, while there were about 60 homes. About 12 properties were currently empty because homes were being rebuilt or repaired, and some of them were being subdivided, he said. “If there’s a problem now there will be an increased problem as residents come back, and the street is subdivided further.â€? •Turn to page 3

A SEED IN THE EYE….OUCH! Willow is a lovely, placid young female Golden Retriever who has a fantastic life exercising with her owner and riding with horses on farms and at the beach. One lucky canine. Suddenly in January of this year, Willow developed a weepy, sore right eye. This quickly progressed to a sticky eye that had a continuous copious mucky green-yellow discharge visible. There was no cough or sneeze heard. Her left eye remained completely normal. Despite intensive, appropriate treatment and investigation from Willow’s primary vet, the discharge persisted. The right eye was now inflamed and irritated. Willow was still lively but wasn’t quite herself and she would hold her right eye partially closed. Willow was referred to Dr Steve Heap in mid – March. At the clinical exam, the yellow discharge could be seen “welling up” from Willow’s lower right tear duct. As soon as the eye was cleaned more discharge would appear. Apart from this infection of the lacrimal (tear drainage) system and the eye being inflamed there were no other problems detected. Infection of the tear drainage system is termed Dacryocystitis. Steve felt that the most likely cause of this was a foreign body – likely a vegetative foreign body e.g. a seed or barley grass awn that had entered the tear duct considering the terrain she frequents daily. These can be very difficult and frustrating problems to solve at times. Under a general anaesthetic, Steve carefully put a catheter into the nose and into the exit of the nose end of the lacrimal system. This catheter was lodged firmly in place. The lower tear duct was partially opened. Water was flushed vigorously and copiously through this catheter. After about 10 mls of flushing, there was a blockage for period of 1-2 seconds. On examination under an operating microscope, the end of a substantial seed was glimpsed. This was then grasped with forceps and removed!! A large “C’mon” was heard from the operating room as this was removed. The lower tear duct was then stitched carefully together. Ten days post operatively, the right eye was still watery but there had been no mucky, infective discharge for the first time in over 2 months. The best thing was Willow was a lot happier, more energetic and playful than she had been and fully opening the eye. A great result all round and a very satisfying part of my job was being able to resolve the problem for Willow and her owner quickly and atraumatically. Dr Steve Heap

World-reknowned children’s author to visit school
PROBLEM: Residents and customers have found car parks on Holmwood Rd difficult to find since the shops on the corner of Rossall St were rebuilt and expanded. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Residents take up parking fight •From page 1 City council traffic engineer Wayne Anisy has drawn up a report on the issue for the community board, and recommended that a 120min parking restriction should be put in place on the eastern end of the street. That would discourage commuters from parking there, but allow space for customers or visitors to homes in the area to park. But Mr Bickerstaffe said the recommendations didn’t go far enough. He said residents wanted
to see them extended further down the street, and white lines drawn around parks to discourage people from parking over driveways. He has lived in the area for 30 years, and said there needed to be more long term planning around the issue, because traffic problems were growing steadily as more residents and businesses moved in. Residents and businesses have been consulted on the proposal, and the six submissions received were all in favour of it. But there were disputes over
the restriction times, with most businesses wanting 60min parking, and most residents wanting 120min parking. There are already 10min parking areas directly outside the shops, so city council staff recommended in the report that 120min parking restrictions be used in the new areas. The community board has the power to change car parks in the ward without approval from the city council, and is expected to make a decision about the parking restrictions tonight.

That same year it also became the most banned book in the United States, beating Fifty Shades of Grey. Captain Underpants began as a comic book that Pilkey started writing while he was in primary school to cope with bullies and his learning difficulties. Today he is a strong advocate against bullying, and for helping children who need to learn to read in different ways. His books have paved the way for ‘reluctant’ and ‘challenged’ readers for more than 16 years, and continue to inspire, educate and make our children laugh.

Katie Lewthwaite has always wondered what the name of her street meant. And it was not until she dug deeper See behind the meaning of Jessons Rd, Inside: Harewood when she found the sombre reality of where the name came from. Private Leslie Jesson and Private Ernest Jesson, brothers from Harewood, were both killed in action while serving in World War 1. Leslie died in the Battle for Chunuk Bair and Ernest died a year later See in the Battle of the Somme, the street Inside: name is a reminder of their sacrifice. Both brothers are commemorated at the Harewood School memorial. And at the Papanui RSA Anzac Day service, Miss Lewthwaite presented a moving speech to hundreds gathered to commemorate 100 years since the landings at Gallipoli. Miss Lewthwaite, 18, entered the ANZ RSA Cyril Bassett VC Speech Competition in February, inspired by the tales of the Jesson brothers. Leslie fought with the Canterbury Infantry Regiment at Gallipoli, and was killed in the Battle of Chunuk Bair, which Miss Lewthwaite described in her speech. “Shrapnel whizzed past, sharp, unforgiving. Bullets left, right, centre. The air swarmed with deadly metal. The MEMORIAL: Katie Lewthwaite with the kauri tree which was planted at Burnside High School on April 24 roar of machine gun anger, the harrowing cries of dying men, the screams to remember those who fought at Gallipoli.

inspire student’s Anzac speech A board of inquiry held on November 24, 1916 found that he had been killed in action on September 15 1916, and he is commemorated on the New Zealand Memorial at Caterpillar Valley in the Somme. Miss Lewthwaite was fascinated with their story and although she did not win the speech competition, she was specially asked to present it at the Anzac service. “I really enjoy history, I enjoy researching it, I do that for fun.” About 30 to 40 people praised her after the service, including the great-nephew of Leslie Jesson. Miss Lewthwaite said he approached her after the service and told her he had been crying for about half an hour because she spoke of his great-uncle. “It was good to know that they [the family] were happy that I talked about him. “It was pretty special.” She started writing the speech late last year, and knew it off by heart by February. It caught the attention of Harewood resident Reg Williams who attended the Papanui service. He had never seen a larger attendance at the Papanui service and said Miss Lewthwaite’s speech was outstanding. “I have crammed a lot of living into my 70-plus years and have never heard a speech delivered with such passion, dedication and clarity. “To do this to such a large gathering without a piece of paper in sight
Private Ernest Jesson was truly amazing.” He felt proud to be there for such a speech. “I would undoubtedly say she would be the best public speaker I have ever heard.” Miss Lewthwaite has also been asked to present her speech at Cashmere View Retirement Village’s belated Anzac service this month. She has being going to dawn services since she was a child and said the amount of people attending had gone up in the last couple of years. But it was the younger generation that had to carry on the memory of those who fought, she said. “We definitely have a responsibility which a lot of people forget.” To watch Miss Lewthwaite’s Anzac Day speech go to https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw_ GsYOK2yw
• Private Leslie Jesson, a former student at Harewood School, was killed in action on August 7, 1915 in the battle for Chunuk Bair in the Gallipoli campaign. He had enlisted in December 1914 and had arrived in Gallipoli in May 1915. Like many other men who served in Gallipoli, his health suffered and he had been evacuated on June 3 to Egypt to recover from enteritis. Five weeks later he was back in Gallipoli and killed as part of the Canterbury Infantry Regiment’s assault on Rhododendron Ridge. His body was never found and he is commemorated on the New Zealand Memorial at Chunuk Bair. • Private Ernest Harold Jesson, like his brother Leslie, had attended Harewood School but moved to work on a farm at Kihikihi in the Waikato. So in enlisting in January 1916, at the age of 34 was part of the Auckland Infantry Regiment. He left for overseas service in June 1916, arriving in France on August 21 and joined his battalion 10 days later. His front line service was short and was reported missing on the first day of the Battle of Flers-Courcellete. A board of inquiry held on November 24, 1916 found that he had been killed in action on September

• Battle of the Somme The New Zealand Division joined the Battle of the Somme on the Western Front in midSeptember 1916. The Allies planned to shell the German lines in an attempt to destroy all forward German defences. The Allied troops could then move across no-man’s-land and overrun the enemy. It was expected that the surprised Germans, exhausted from the week-long bombardment of their trenches and bunkers, would put up little fight. The Allies could then advance on the next line of trenches, with troops moving safely behind a curtain of artillery fire, but the reality was heavy casualties and excruciatingly slow progress. The battle was a pivotal event that laid the basis for the Allied victory in World War 1 but of the 15,000 New Zealand soldiers at the Somme, nearly 6000 were wounded and 2000 died. On November 18, the British abandoned the offensive after only gaining 12km. On February 24, 1917, the Germans withdrew from the area. • Anzac services, page 6

• Battle of Chunuk Bair The Battle of Chunuk Bair in August 1915 was one of the New Zealanders’ victories in the Gallipoli campaign. The New Zealand Infantry Brigade advanced towards the summit of Chunuk Bair during the night of August 6, but the attack fell behind schedule and the New Zealanders were still 1km short of the summit when dawn broke. The soldiers took shelter on Rhododendron Ridge and in a mid-morning attack the Auckland Battalion suffered heavy casualties to reach the Pinnacle, 200m from the summit. Wellington Battalion’s commander Lieutenant-Colonel William Malone refused to sacrifice his men in a daylight attack and held off until the night of August 8. When the sun rose, the Wellington men, assisted by some Auckland mounted riflemen and British troops who also reached the summit, engaged in a desperate struggle to hold off the Turks. Seventy Wellington soldiers, out of 760, held Chunuk Bair until they were relieved during the night

Big turnout for Belfast Anzac service An Anzac Day service held at the Belfast War Memorial in Sheldon Park, was attended by more than 200 people. The event was organised by the Belfast Bowling Club, Belfast Community Network and Belfast School. Ken Gray and Maurice Fuller both helped organise the service and wanted to make it special for the centenary. Mr Gray said: “We have organised this event for the past three years but with it being the 100th commemoration we thought it would be great to open it up to the wider community. We are thrilled with the turnout and the support from the Belfast community.” While there were many
speakers, Belfast School head boy Zeke De Gouw and head girl Lagan Edwards spoke of how as young people, they view the importance of Anzac Day. Zeke said in his speech: “For younger generations, it is sometimes difficult to understand why it is with gratitude that we should remember, but we have enjoyed the benefits of the peace and easy existence, which was purchased at the cost of many lives.” Belfast Community Network manager Lynda Goodrick said the event was significant for the community. “Having local organisations come together to share the work was very much in the Anzac spirit.”
100 crosses mark a special contribution A Bishopdale man had a very special Anzac Day. Graeme Parish made 100 Anzac crosses which have now been placed in front of the Papanui RSA. Mr Parish is an active member of the community and decided he wanted to contribute to the Anzac commemorations and Fields of Remembrance in honour of his grandfather. This project was designed to commemorate and remember each year from Gallipoli to the current day. Each of the crosses has a year inscribed and will represent a period of time to reflect on the men and women who have fought for New Zealand over the last 100 years. Mr Parish has made the crosses with support from members of the Bishopdale MenzShed who are under the umbrella of the Bishopdale Community Trust. Mr Parish has various impairments including learning disabilities and while contributing to the community, knows that this project will also enhance his relationship with the neighbourhood he associates with.
ANZAC SPIRIT: Graeme Parish at the Papanui RSA, where his crosses commemorating fallen New Zealand soldiers are placed.

Housing NZ’s $350m quake recovery The disaster and destruction wreaked from the Canterbury earthquakes has created a chance for Housing New Zealand to reconfigure and modernise its housing stock in greater Christchurch. It is often said that out of disaster, comes opportunity and it is this philosophy that is driving Housing NZ through the final year of its massive earthquakerecovery programme. This work has a price tag of about $350 million and sees up to 5000 earthquake-damaged houses repaired and updated and the construction of 700 modern, warm and dry homes. The earthquakes had a major impact on Housing NZ’s Canterbury stock with more than 95 per cent of its 6200 properties damaged. Many were uneconomic to repair, others were located in the “red zone’’ and later demolished and cleared from damaged land. Thousands of others needed repairs so they could continue to be safe for tenants. In early 2013, the Government charged Housing NZ with delivering a comprehensive programme of work that would see up to 5000 earthquake-damaged properties repaired and up to 700 new homes built. When completed by the end of 2015, this would restore its Christchurch housing stock to preearthquake levels.
NEW: These five twobedroom units in Elizabeth Rd, Riccarton were completed earlier this year. PHOTOS: TONY STEWART / PHOTOSHOTS LTD Housing NZ settled its earthquake insurance claim in April 2013 for $320 million. This money is being reinvested into the region to complete both arms of the recovery programme. An earthquake recovery team, headed by general manager Paul Commons, was formed to handle the huge job of co-ordinating the repairs needed urgently, ensuring tenants were looked after, recruiting contractors and others to help with the repairs and to co-ordinate the programme of repairs and new builds. MWH and Arrow International were contracted to oversee and co-
ordinate the delivery of the minor and major repairs respectively. Housing NZ has separated the repair programme into two specialised areas – the minor repair programme including repairs up to between $40,000 and $50,000. The major programme covers repairs over that figure. At its peak, up to 1000 workers will be involved in the programme, making it a significant cog in the wheel of the Canterbury earthquake recovery. Mr Commons said repairing earthquake-damaged properties was a key part of the overall programme to improve the quality of its
social housing stock in the region. More than 650 staff working across 16 suburbs are involved in this programme of work. The team also includes a group of tenancy liaison staff whose role is to support tenants who need to have repairs carried out at their properties. In many cases, tenants can continue living in their home while repairs are done but sometimes, it is easier for them if they are temporarily relocated to alternative accommodation while the repairs are carried out. Mr Commons said there were many moving parts to the pro-
gramme but a well co-ordinated management style across different arms of Housing NZ, its contractors, building partners and tenants meant the programme had tracked well and was on schedule to achieve a challenging target set by the Government. Both targets – repairs of up to 5000 properties and the construction of up to 700 new homes – are to be completed by the end of 2015. As at March 31, there had been 3624 completed repairs and 159 new homes built across the city. More than 420 were under construction and 219 were being negotiated and evaluated for construction. The new builds programme is helping modernise Housing NZ’s stock across the city with new warm, dry homes under construction throughout Christchurch. Suburbs throughout Christchurch – from the city’s western areas like Riccarton through to communities in the city’s east like Aranui and Shirley, which sustained some of the worst damage in the earthquakes – are getting new social housing. An example of a new development is at Addington’s Church Square. Three separate sections that each accommodated a threebedroom house were amalgamated into one title and 10 new twobedroom homes were built on the new enlarged site.
Open until 25 June Eastgate Shopping Centre Monday – Wednesday 9am – 6pm Thursdays 9am – 8pm

School service to remember soldiers BY HUNTER SCHIRNAK In a solemn occasion at Shirley Boys’ High School on the eve of Anzac Day, students and teachers took part in remembering the bravery of the Anzac’s by sharing inspiring and personal stories. Headmaster John Laurenson emphasised that Anzac Day was not a time to glorify war but to honour the sacrifice. Deputy principal Sue Nesbit spoke of her grandfather who served in World War 1 and her father in World War 2. Head boy Dominic Bain spoke of the celebration of the peace which so many battled to achieve. George Cox, deputy head boy, recited John McCrae’s touching poem In Flanders Fields about the hardships of war. A wreath was laid by student Liam Walker with current teacher and former member of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, Dominic Bell. Students were encouraged to research a New Zealand soldier from among the names of many on those written on six display boards. Among these was one laid by student Hamish McLauchlan in memory of a 23-year old relative Alexander McLauchlan of the Wellington Infantry Battalion who was killed in action at Gallipoli in August 1915.

and the whole student body was quickly decorated in red on black jerseys. In a fitting tribute to the Anzac heroes many poppies were also later laid alongside the rows of white crosses below the school flagstaff.

Youth need guidance on
transition from school to jobs
T
housands of young people attending the Christchurch Careers Expo over the next few days will be looking to their future transition from school into the world of work. This is where the Careers Expo presents an unparalleled opportunity to connect directly with those most able to provide guidance and information needed to make informed choices for the journey ahead. There are skills shortages aplenty in New Zealand, for instance in building construction in Christchurch. The economy is booming, yet statistics show that a lot of young people are still not finding work, with unemployed aged between 15 and 24 at
unacceptably high levels. Director of the Careers Expo Mark Gillard, does not believe that these people aren’t interested in work; he believes the problem stems from the crucial transition between school and the workforce. Pointing to international research carried out by the UK’s Education and Employers Taskforce, Mr Gillard explains that there needs to be an increase in interaction between businesses and young people, when young adults are still at school. “Their research entitled It’s Who You Meet found that students from all demographics benefitted from early interaction and engagement with business, being considerably
less likely to end up without a job, outside of training or education.”
All new World of Work In a bid to more effectively bridge the gap between learning and work, we’ve developed a new interactive World of Work hub as part of the 2015 Careers Expo to bring job seekers and employers closer together. Each year, around 160,000 Kiwi secondary school students (years 10-13) make decisions about their careers and life after school, such as where and what to study and what they want to achieve in life. These are huge decisions for young people, and the more
information we can provide to help make the best choices at this time, the better. Being able to talk to someone ‘on the job’ or from an industry body can help clarify many of the questions that sit around the transition into the workforce: What is it really like to work in a particular sector? What are the costs of training? How long will it take? And, will there be a job for me at the end of my training? Our new World of Work hub takes a close up look at the top 10 things employers want from potential employees, how to create a CV, interview tips, long-term marketplace outlook and skills shortage information, and hands-on demonstrations from those in the workplace. Connecting with tertiary training organisations, industry groups and future employers is so important for young people to do. It is never too early to start thinking about their future and they should take advantage of opportunities to connect directly with future employers. Sometimes it’s not what you know, but who. And it’s true that first impressions count. The Careers Expo and the World of Work provide the ideal opportunity for young people and their families to scope out the wide range of opportunities that exist, and to talk through about future plans.

Museum exploration for pupils St Patrick’s School pupils were amazed by what they learned about the early European settlers during a visit to the Canterbury Museum last week. The year 0 to 8 pupils dressed up in clothing from different periods of New Zealand history, and were amazed they could fit in adult clothes and that the early Europeans were so small and had such a low life expectancy. The visit to the museum was part of a term focus on ‘our past, our present, our future’. One of the pupils said this about the visit: “We learned that on the European ship (The Charlotte Jane) many got sick and died. “We also learnt about the Europeans and why exactly they came to this country and what they went through. “We learnt that the Europeans had to have a reason for dying easily but we never expected they were so short and small compared to us, some of our seven and eightyear-olds could fit the adult sizes from their time. “There was no chance of Room 1 wearing the children’s clothes. “We saw many pictures and various trinkets that showed what it was like for the Europeans, a visual help was a great thing to help us understand. “We also played something like a choose your own adventure game where we chose what we packed for the ship and what colour cards we wanted to have

Nasty surprises in the kitchen

PATCHES: The pupils enjoyed exploring the displays at the museum last week, including this interactive patchwork quilt.
IN CHARACTER: Pupils Portia Bennie and Susie Hruby try on period costumes during a visit to the Canterbury Museum to discover more about the early settlers. which affected our outcome. “I couldn’t forget the part where we got to walk freely around in a group with an adult (it wasn’t my favourite but it was cool).”
MEASURING UP: Kate Gonzales measures herself against a mummy.
There were six kitchen fires this week. None of them burnt the house down but all of them caused inconvenience, stress, in one case burns and in all cases at least some damage. In one incident in Arlington St, Burnside, all the occupants had to do once the smoke was cleared by Harewood’s crew was peel some more spuds. Unfortunately, to be eaten in a still slightly smelly, slightly smokey, dining room. In Picton Ave, Riccarton, a quick thinking occupant threw flour over a burning pot on Sunday evening. Surprisingly it worked. Not quite the actions we recommend but in this case effective. However, the most effective action is to stay in the kitchen. Gives you the best chance to stop a fire as soon as it starts. I’ve been in a few incidents over the years where ammonia has leaked. In the thick of it we would wear breathing apparatus but well away would be staff running pumps or whatever who were not protected. When in that position quite often you got a whiff of the stuff. It brings tears to the eyes. The occupant of a house in Broomfield got a fairly bad dose on Monday when his fridge dumped its ammonia contents through a leak. He required ambulance treatment. The Sockburn crew removed the fridge outside by which time it was drained.

When used together, the products help clients achieve one on trend look – the Messy Braid, Shaggy Lob, Bouncy Waves, XXL Volume or Asymmetric Pixie. There’s little that grounds a romantically effortless look like the simple, single braid.
Braids have been hugely popular on the recent Fall 2015 Fashion Week runways, and a good one is eternally chic. So it’s probably no surprise Tecni.ART launches a Messy Braid Kit. The kit contains Tecni.ART Fix Design and Tecni.ART Super Dust for a textured, voluminous and stylishly lived-in braid while leaving hair firmly secured in place. The Shaggy Lob is this season’s cooler, modern take on the ubiquitous lob haircut. The Shaggy Lob Kit, comprises Tecni.ART Wild Stylers Next Day Hair and Tecni.ART

Ceremony for The ultimate challenge monument relocation BY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Two Canterbury University students are juggling their studies with preparations for the Ultimate Frisbee World Championship in London, in July. Keith Algar, 19, and Chris Carr, 21, have both been picked to represent New Zealand in the men’s under-23 team. Algar is in his second year studying engineering and Carr is in his fourth year studying engineering and biology. Officially known as ultimate, the aim of the game is to catch the frisbee in the other team’s end zone. For the championship tournament the first team to reach 17 goals in 100min wins. Carr said the sport offers a great balance of competitiveness and social interaction. “It’s all self-refereed, which means that the players on the field are responsible for calling fouls. This means that players generally have more of a focus on playing fairly. “I started playing in my first year at university to meet new people. The game has the benefit of attracting quite cool people and you make pretty good friends,” Carr said. Ultimate has a small yet growing profile in New Zealand, but has limited funding available. Carr said the costs of getting to

He has been selected to represent the New Zealand under-23 side to play at the world championships in London. the world championship are difficult to meet. “The flights to London are the main cost, but as part of our preparation we also have a training camp every two weeks and they’re usually held in Auckland or Wellington, so the costs of those flights add up pretty quickly.” Carr works when he can, as well as balancing training every night and full-time study as he works toward two degrees. The whole family enjoys sport in their spare time; Chris’ brother also plays ultimate. His
father and vice-chancellor of the university, Dr Rod Carr, enjoys swimming and running, having completed the London, Paris, Athens, Boston, New York, Istanbul and Antarctica marathons in the last 11 years. Carr says that winning the ultimate championship would be the perfect underdog story, although unrealistic. “Getting into the top eight is one of our goals as we finished 10th in 2013. It’s all about building and growing the sport. It’s still tiny in New Zealand, but it’s growing rapidly,” he says.

A plaque to remember the Russley Rd Baseline Monument relocation project will be formally unveiled in Avonhead Park next week. The New Zealand Institute of Surveyors Canterbury Branch had the plaque made to sit alongside the monument’s new location and members will gather on May 15 for the unveiling. It originally sat next to Russley Rd to commemorate the activities of Captain J Thomas, C.O Torlesse and T Cass who measured out the base line for the survey of the Canterbury settlement in September 1849. But the monument needed to move to make way for the Russley Rd four-lane expressway upgrade. Surveyors took about a year trying to find a suitable location along the baseline to move the monument to, and Avonhead Park was chosen. It was relocated in 2012, and the position of the monument and brass plaque have been surveyed and entered into the Geodetic Database. New Zealand Institute of Surveyors Canterbury Branch representative Todd Airey said the new plaque was not only to commemorate the work of past surveyors, but to remember its relocation. He said it was not an easy process,
UNVEILING: A plaque to remember the the Russley Rd Baseline Monument relocation project now sits in front of the original monument in Avonhead Park. and heavy machinery was needed to move the monument twice, once to a secure site office, and the second move to Avonhead Park. “It’s for our members to think back to 1849 and reflect on where we’ve got to now.” After the unveiling, the group will then go to Monteiths Brewery Bar on Merrin St for a catch up with friends and colleagues.

HEALTH
Take action for daily relief Beat stress by adopting simple calming and regenerating habits Stress: it makes your heart race, your head pound and your stomach churn. Although a little stress can be a good thing and help motivate us when needed, too much stress can lead to negative health effects including headaches, upset stomach, back pain, trouble sleeping and a weakened immune system. In fact, the American Institute of Stress reports that up to 90 per cent of visits to primary care doctors are due to stress-related health problems. “Stress can seem unavoidable. Work demands, family obligations and financial pressures all contribute to our stress levels,” says psychologist Dr Ruth Kenzelmann, “but there are steps you can take to derail stress as it’s happening, and prevent it from interfering with your health and quality of life.” Kenzelmann suggests some things you can do “in-themoment” when you’re feeling stressed:
Take three deep breaths
Deep breathing can really help
Value relationships
Positive connections with other people are a great remedy for life’s daily challenges. Each evening, think about the three best social connections of your day and how connected and in touch you felt. Doing this little “mental checkin” with yourself can increase positivity almost as effectively as doing regular meditation.

People who have the opportunity to act on their strengths and do what they do best every day are far more likely to be resilient and energised. Take time to clearly understand your own strengths, and then make sure you have ways to use them in your daily life. The boost in positivity that comes from finding new ways to apply your strengths is significant.
Practice mindfulness
This can take practice, but there are many short, easy guides and even mobile apps to walk you through the practice of mindfulness. When you are mindful, you are focusing on your thoughts, emotions and sensations at the very moment. If this all sounds too “new age-y” for you, don’t knock it until you try it.

Research supports eye health
N
utritional researchers have discovered a range of nutrients that are essential for eye health. Some of the most essential nutrients that have been shown to protect and even improve eye function are: Selenium, a trace mineral that is low in NZ soils and therefore in many of our foods. Researchers believe selenium may help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause of impaired vision in older people) and may also improve dry eyes and general eye health. Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage of the population are low in. Zinc has been shown to help protect the eyes from the damaging effects of light as well as slow vision loss due to macular degeneration. Vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, betacarotene (provitamin a) and copper have potent antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from damage.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are amazing nutrients that have been shown in landmark research to not only provide potent eye protection, but may even help reverse some of the signs of agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). Bilberry and blackcurrant, high in potent antioxidants, may help protect the lens and retina from damage and reduce the risk of cataracts. They may also help improve blood supply to the eye, strengthen the small capillaries of the eye and may help improve night vision, may alleviate many eye ailments, including eye fatigue that may be caused by reading, driving and computers. Eyebright may help normalise eye pressure and reduce eye allergies. Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for correct eye function. It may also have a detoxifying effect on the eye. Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. It provides many nutrients, is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that are potent antioxidants that may protect eyesight. These nutrients, taken in a therapeutic amount, should provide comprehensive eye protection, may slow and possibly even help reverse eye damage that could lead to loss of vision. All these nutrients are available in an economical once a day, easy to swallow capsule. Further info is available in-store at Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, or phone 388 5757.
Sleep troubles? A deep, relaxing sleep is essential for good health and so the body has time to repair, maintain and replenish itself.
F
or a good night’s sleep, it is important to have sufficient physical activity during the day. Deep breathing helps relieve stress, tension and worry, improving sleep and health. Try to spend some time in the fresh air and sunlight daily. Walking with bare feet on the grass helps to earth us with nature and can be quite effective, especially in the evening before bed to promote a good night’s sleep. Nutritional supplements can be highly effective in supporting a good sleep by providing nutrients needed for correct muscle and nerve function and supporting healthy levels of brain chemicals that are needed to put us into a deep sleep and for relaxation. GO Magnesium Sleep has been carefully formulated to support a deep, relaxed sleep. It contains a special blend of high
absorption magnesium and other natural minerals needed to relax muscles and ease nervous tension. It also contains tart cherry extract, a natural source of melatonin to support a good deep sleep as well as getting to sleep and staying asleep. As well, it contains a potent blend of passionflower, zizyphus and 5-HTP to relax the body, mind, nerves and support healthy levels of brain chemicals essential for a good deep sleep.

I
f you are rebuilding or repairing your home, Enviro Master can offer you a complete solution to meet your individual heating, cooling and ventilation needs. Many housing companies offer a package deal and therefore may size or position your heat pump incorrectly. 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. Enviro Master have been servicing the Christchurch area for over 12 years and supplies, installs and services all the leading brands, including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs. We currently have a stock clearance on 2.5kW cooling/3.6kW heating systems starting as low as $1900 installed. These are ideal for a bedroom or office, and there
are very limited numbers of these systems available. We also have savings up to $800 off the recommended retail price on selected models. 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 4.9kW 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. Ducted and multi systems are becoming increasingly popular in providing climatecontrolled comfort throughout your home or workplace. We are also able to incorporate ventilation into ducted systems. For a free in-home consultation, call Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our showroom at 41A Shakespeare Road, Waltham, Christchurch.

L
et’s face it – every manufacturer tells you their heat pump is the best, quietest, most energy-efficient and each has a multitude of constantly updating/changing models on offer. Plus, New Zealand homes tend to be very individual in size, shape and location, which greatly affects heating and performance requirements. There are three essential steps to ensure you get the right solution for your home: Get the right size - This requires accurate measurement of the volume of the air to be heated in your property and an understanding of heat loss and airflow characteristics. Get the right model - What was right for your neighbour might not be right for you; heat pumps are constantly changing and being improved. Get it installed correctly - Probably the most misunderstood element. If a heat pump is not installed correctly, it will not function at its rated output, may fail prematurely and void the warranty. The answer is to talk to a company that knows about all the brands and can give impartial expert advice. Heat Pump Guys are independent dealers. Unlike most companies that are tied in to one manufacturer, they are accredited for all major brands: Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Daikin, Hitachi, LG and so on. They have an obligation-free home appraisal service to advise customers which heat
pump is best for them. So if you are thinking about getting a heat pump this year make sure you make the right choice. Give their friendly staff a call on 0800 47 48 97 or visit www.heatpumpguys.co.nz.

ow, with the colder and wetter weather on its way, homeowners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. Rising damp affects many older properties which suffer from poor or no insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce allergic reactions. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team understands the problems caused by rising damp. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber-floored home. Adapted for New Zealand conditions and applications, it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team have noticed is that many owners of properties with underfloor foam concrete installed reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd for a free, no-obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs at 03 376 4608 or 0508 362 626.

To ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements. Ventilation - This includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter create a healthy
ve Remo ells ng sm i k o o c am! e t s d an
environment. 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 not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness. Harmful substances like dust and tobacco smoke 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, but 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 important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

y vendors have priced this spacious family home at just above RV - could this be the best buy in Fendalton? Packed full of original character features such as the original wood panelling and leadlight windows with the bonus of double glazing having been carefully done in sympathy with the charm of the home. Modern efficient heat pumps plus a log burner bring the home into our 21st century standard required for warmth and comfort. With two spacious living rooms and a large kitchen dining room, five good sized bedrooms and a study (which can be a sixth bedroom if needed), there is room to adapt this house to your lifestyle while retaining ample space to satisfy the family. The laundry off the back of the kitchen is particularly spacious - you can safely hide the laundry in here until needed. A third toilet is located off the laundry as well. The two bathrooms are equally of generous size and quality fitout, one downstairs for the master bedroom and the other upstairs for the family. The upstairs is ideal for a retreat area for the children or if you have extended family, this could be used as a private living space with its own bathroom, living room and three bedrooms. A balcony from the living room makes a charming spot to sit and enjoy the sun. The private rear courtyard will be a sheltered spot to enjoy the last of the summer before winter really sets in. Pleasantly

Usefully, there is a shed to securely store your garden implements out of sight. A large double garage will take a 4WD and there is off-street parking as well. With some thought there would be also the ability to create room to park a boat if desired. Zoned for the two of the most highly regarded state schools in Christchurch (Christchurch Girls’ and Christchurch Boys’ High), now would be the time to secure your children’s entry with applications starting for enrolment later this year.

IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS IN THE WAITING… THE LEGENDARY COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA HITS CHRISTCHURCH ON MONDAY 25TH MAY AT THE ISAAC THEATRE ROYAL AS TH PART OF THE 80 ANNIVERSARY TOUR
Directed by veteran trumpeter Scotty Barnhart, and featuring special guest vocalist Carmen Bradford, the big band 18-piece Count Basie Orchestra performs Billie Holiday to Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra to Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan to Ella Fitzgerald. Current members include a solid core of musicians hired by Basie, including saxophonist John Williams and trombonist Clarence Banks, as well as former members of Stan Kenton's, Benny Goodman's and Lionel Hampton's ensembles. The tradition of excellence has continued beyond the Count's passing in 1984 to make the Orchestra a permanent fixture in Down Beat and Jazz Times polls and, at last count, the recipients of a total 18 Grammy Awards garnered as recently as their Count Plays Duke album of '99.
WIN TICKETS
Star Media has a double pass to the show to giveaway. To go in the ticket draw, write you name and daytime contact phone number on the back of an envelope, along with the answer to: ‘What year did Count Basie pass away?’, and send it to CBO Ticket Competition, PO Box 1467, Christchurch. Entries close 5pm Tuesday 19th May. The winner will be notified.
