Fire bug strikes again in Burnside, Ilam
Gillies hat at royal garden party
By Julia Evans RESIDENTS ARE fearful a fire bug will claim lives after a series of sinister blazes in Burnside and Ilam. The latest fire burnt a wheelie bin against the side of an elderly woman’s home on Tudor Ave on Saturday. The Fire Service said she was lucky it didn’t spread to her house. Nearby Greers Rd resident James Wallace also had his wheelie bin set alight against the side of his property sometime after 11pm the previous weekend. His three children under the
By Julia Evans AWARD-winning Merivale designer Jenny Gillies is looking forward to seeing her White Rose of York hat at one of three Buckingham Palace garden parties which start today. Each year, the palace holds three summer garden parties.

age of 10 were asleep upstairs as the bin blazed below a bedroom window. “It’s attempted murder, the wheelie bin was up against the house and could’ve set it on fire and someone could’ve died,” Mr Wallace said. He said it’s particularly worrying that whoever is doing it is going onto people’s properties. As well as potential loss of life, the fire also caused extensive damage to the side of Mr Wallace’s house, which will cost thousands to repair. •Turn to page 4

WHEELIE BINS today – what next tomorrow? That’s the big worry as an arsonist operates in Burnside and Ilam. Residents have every reason to be fearful. The arsonist has set alight wheelie bins and the fires have spread to adjacent dwellings. They have been lit late at night when people are sleeping. And as the arsonist gains in confidence he (and it is likely to be a he), will almost certainly step up the campaign. Police need to find him quickly. On a brighter note, Merivale designer Jenny Gillies will have her White Rose of York hat at one of three Buckingham Palace garden parties which start today. The hat was spotted by the wife of the North of England Horticultural Society Council chairman when Jenny was at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show last month. – Barry Clarke

Tenants’ rights in focus
By Julia Evans HOUSING NEW Zealand tenants are looking to develop a charter of rights with the city council. A number of the concerned tenants expressed interest in working with the city council and the Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board after a meeting regarding the Government’s state housing sale-off in March. In November, Prime Minister and former Housing Minister Bill English said the Government would look to sell up to 2500 state houses in Bryndwr, Riccarton and Shirley as part of its sell-off programme. The Bryndwr Community Group has expressed concerns about what impact the sale will have on some of the most vulnerable members of the community – those who have no choice but to live in state housing. However, Marney Ainsworth, spokeswoman for the group said it was keen to work with the board and council to develop a master plan for the area. It came up in a conversation
regarding the rights of tenants, who feel like their opinions are being swept under the rug. “We hope to get city council support behind us,” she said. The city council said it is interested in working with the Bryndwr community so residents can have the determining voice on how the area grows and develops in the future. Head of facilities, property

In Brief GREEN LIGHT The city council has approved a signalised pedestrian crossing in Papanui on Main North Rd, between Halliwell Ave and Proctor St, to connect the bus stops outside Northlands Shopping Centre. The signals aim to address pedestrian safety, which has been compromised by the large number of pedestrians making unsafe crossings between the bus stops. FIRST FEMALE COUNCILLOR One hundred years ago Ada Wells became the city’s first female councillor. Her achievement, paving the way for women in politics, was celebrated by the city council on Thursday. Mayor Lianne Dalziel dedicated the city council’s Camellia room to Ms Wells. Before she became a councillor, she taught at St Albans School but was fired by the headmaster James Speight after asking for maternity leave. PUBLIC FEEDBACK Papanui city councillor Mike Davidson will set up shop at 1pm tomorrow in the Papanui Library to chat and hear what’s on residents’ minds. Cr Davidson said it’s always great to hear the thoughts and views from the community.

Fixing the central city Merivale businessman Rob Mercer writes about the need to improve vehicle access to the central city Pre-quake, things were starting to rot and the city council didn’t know how to fix it. There were dirty red buses with nobody on them clogging up Colombo St and overzealous parking wardens pushing people away. The city council doesn’t understand the money merrygo-round. There needs to be people in town to spend money, to attract tourists in and create more jobs. It’s a simple fact that people on buses and bikes don’t spend money. The city shouldn’t be difficult to access, but the city council is making it very difficult to access. If you want to shop, you jump in your car and drive to where it’s convenient, like a suburban mall, and that’s because they have convenient parking. We’re not London or Auckland with their traffic problems,
REGENERATION: A focus on cycle lanes means the central city isn’t easy for cars to access, which is making it hard for businesses to thrive.
and Christchurch has the ability to have easy access for our cars, which we are traditionally used to having. The city council’s phobia of cars is difficult to understand in the age of the electric car. In a couple of years, electric cars will be all over us. I stood up in a post-quake recovery meeting in 2012 and
asked the question, to make the central city work, bearing in mind all the money was being spent in the suburbs, what percentage of that will go back into the city centre to make it work? We’re going to do things differently, they said. But they’ve missed an opportunity. Touchy subject of bike lanes on main roads – I drove down Colombo St north of the square and I felt like emigrating when I saw bike lanes on both sides of the street and all the parking gone. The narrowing of roads like Cambridge Tce is damaging businesses.

Fire Service investigator Mark Thomas said there have been at least five in the area. “Any deliberately lit fire is treated as serious,” Mr Thomas said. The Fire Service is collating data regarding the attacks, which it will pass on to the police to help the investigation.

Bid for Edgeware Pool money By Julia Evans A COMMUNITY board has requested a cash injection for the Edgeware Pool be included in the city council’s Annual Plan. In its submission on the draft Annual Plan, the Papanui-Innes Community Board has included an application for $5 million to go towards the pool development. The request will go before the city council in June. It is being Pauline championed by Cotter the community board as a way of showing solidarity for community developments in the area, city councillor and board member Pauline Cotter said. “It’s important to note that the St Albans Pavilion and Pool Group hasn’t asked for any funding,” she said. Paul Somerville, chairman of the pool group, said he did not know the community board was making the request. The group has been planning to cover the full cost of the pool by fundraising on its own. Cr Cotter said $5 million is

only a starting point, and the amount is up for negotiation. “I’m excited to see what might come out of the conversation around the council table,” She said. Depending on what stage of construction the pool is at, Cr Cotter said the funding could be earmarked for a future Annual Plan or the Long Term Plan. Mr Somerville said the group would love to have a partnership with the city council, even though the pool will be run
by the community. The group secured land at 43 Edgeware Rd for $1 last year, but will have to give it back if the pool isn’t built within 10 years. “We’ve raised money in the community, about $50,000 or $60,000, to get the resource consent. The biggest thing now is to get the land,” Mr Somerville said. It comes at a time when spending on pools – including a proposed complex in Linwood, another at QE II and the inner

Merivale designer’s royal hat •From page 1 Said Ms Gillies: “I made it especially for the Harrogate exhibition, so when the wife of the chairman of North of England Horticultural Society council fell in love with it, saying it would look fabulous at the Buckingham Palace summer garden party to which she had been invited, how could I not leave it for her to wear?” Ms Gillies said. Ms Gillies was invited to exhibit at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show last month. She presented her Christchurch Connection exhibition, which included 15 stunning costumes, in the UK show – her first exhibition outside of Australasia. “I feel honoured being able to spread the word about our beautiful city and the rich culture visitors can expect to find when they visit us,” she said. Many visitors to the show went specifically to see Ms Gillies’ exhibition, which was all about promoting Christchurch. “Although there’s been some recent negative publicity about our garden city image, I am confident it’s a blip and we will be back even stronger than before.”

Modern twist on a classic RANGI RURU Girls’ School’s drama production this year will be Revenge of the Amazons, by Kiwi playwright Jean Betts. The play is a modern spin on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights’ Dream with strong feminist themes, first performed in the early 80s. Director of Theatre Arts at Rangi Ruru, Peter Rutherford said in spite of the age of the play, the issues are still very relevant in 2017. “The recent American elections, the Roastbusters case and the Wellington Boys’ College scandal clearly show that instill-
ing in our students the importance of feminist philosophies and themes are as relevant as ever,” he said. Rangi Ruru is supporting Aviva’s family and sexual violence services by taking donations of female hygiene products and gold coin donations at the door. Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs from tomorrow until May 20 at the Merivale Lane Theatre. Check out the school’s open day on Friday for more info. •Watch the video at star. kiwi

Single-sex learning could be affected by zones By Sarla Donovan THE PRINCIPALS of Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ High Schools are concerned that families across the east retain the choice of a single-sex education, regardless of whether they live in the zone. The two schools are likely to share a zone when they co-locate to new premises in 2019. Both schools are to be rebuilt at QE II Park after their existing sites were damaged in the 2011 earthquakes. Their boards are currently working with each other and the Ministry of Education to try and thrash out a new, shared zone. Avonside Girls’ High School principal Sue Hume said while the zone needed to give access to those close to the new campus, it was important to preserve the choice of single-sex education for families right across the east. She said the school had always taken a significant portion of students from out of zone. “Historically we provide services for families in the east and we want to continue to give that choice to families across the east of the city. Anyone within the zone has an absolute right (to attend the school). So it can’t be too big that it can’t cope with the numbers.”
DAMAGED: Avonside Girls’ High received significant damage in the Canterbury earthquakes. The school will be rebuilt on a new campus at QE II, along with Shirley Boys’ High.
John Laurenson
Sue Hume
Shirley Boys’ High School principal John Laurenson said he would like a new zone to encompass the areas around the school’s new location, including Queenspark, Waitakiri and Prestons. Katrina Casey, deputy sec-
retary sector enablement and support at the Ministry of Education, said changes would be made to the two schools’ current enrolment schemes “to reflect their new location.” She said the capacity of all schools in the local network must be taken into account. Rezoning to take in more populous areas could increase the number of students coming from in zone, potentially reducing choice for families elsewhere in the east. Shirley Boys’ is the only state secondary school for boys east of Colombo St.

Hello
Time to pay attention to your hair… As the cold weather approaches and styled-up winter fashions come out to play, now is the ideal time to pay some extra attention to your hair – whether it’s getting an exciting new cut, a brand-new colour or a protective and restorative treatment. Owner/operator Nickki Irvine and her team at Karamella Hairdressing in St Albans have the experience and knowledge to advise on the right cut and colour to match your skin tone, lifestyle and personality. Nickki says the colour trends for winter range from light coppery hues through to the high fashion red tones. To maintain that salon-styled look Karamella offers the smoothing blow out, an in-salon treatment for reducing frizz and creating smooth, easy-to-manage hair for up to six weeks.
At their Blow Dry Bar, prices start at just $25, with every 10th visit free. Services range from a classic shampoo and blow dry through to curls, colour or straightening and special occasion hair-ups. If your hair has become damaged and dry through exposure to summer sun and wind, or blow-drying, the Karamella team recommends Profibre – a long-lasting cure for damaged hair. Profibre rebuilds the internal structure of the hair, with three levels of treatment. A consultation with one of the stylists will ensure the right level of repair is applied to your hair, which will leave it feeling soft, smooth and strong and prolong its life. A passionate hair stylist with more than 20 years’ experience, Nickki has just welcomed two new additions to her team.
They are Hannah King, who has been hairdressing for 15 years, and Tara Snell, who has been barbering for nine years. The two talented stylists look forward to meeting many new clients at Karamella Hairdressing. To book an appointment with any of the stylists, phone 355 2125. Opening hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 9am8pm, Friday 9am-5pm, and Saturday 9am-4pm. Karamella Hairdressing is located on the corner of Cranford and Westminster streets, St Albans. Neighbouring businesses include the popular Metro café – an ideal spot to enjoy a coffee before or after your hairdressing appointment.

Last time the two teams met they could not be separated with the game ending in a 2-2 draw at English Park. Burnside coach David Williams said Cashmere will be a big match. “They have started the season with two wins and will be hard to beat,” he said. Burnside secured a 3-1 victory over St Bede’s in the second round of the competition on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Papanui are eyeing up their next challenge when they take on Middleton at 7.30pm. Papanui manager Paul Anderson said he has a new team to work with. “We have had some good battles with Middleton over the past few years and tomorrow should be no different,” he said. Last time the two met, Papanui won 2-1 at English Park.
IN ACTION: Papanui’s Zac White (right) defends against CBHS’s Muhammad Mann in Papanui’s 2-1 win last Wednesday.
Papanui, fresh off a bye in the first round, managed to score a 2-1 win over Christchurch Boys’ High on Wednesday. CBHS will head into round three with a bye. St Andrew’s will play rivals St Bede’s at 4pm. Last time the two met, St Andrew’s crushed them 5-2. St Bede’s coach Matt Jansen said the aim this week was to take the three points. “We will have to tighten up our discipline and take all our chances to beat St Andrew’s,” he said.

Commonwealth Youth Games call up By Andrew King ST BEDE’S student Nick Moulai has been selected in the Commonwealth Youth Games athletics team to compete in Nassau, Bahamas, in July. The middle-distance runner was named in the team at the start of last week and confirmed he was the right selection by winning the Canterbury secondary school road race on Thursday. He ran the 4km event in a time of 12min 15sec. Moulai said being included in the team was fantastic. “It feels like everything is going to plan and that feels great. Any opportunity to represent your country is awesome. You just have to put your mind to it and give it everything,” he said. He will run in the 1500m and 3000m races at the games. Moulai got the running bug as a surf lifesaver at the age of nine. “I started getting into the sprints and now the sport

consumes my life,” he said. He said he is a “low mileage kind of guy”, running about 50km during the track season and bumping it up to 70km a week in the cross-country season. “It does make having a social
life a bit difficult, but my coach is really good at managing my time,” he said. The chance to see more of the world has him excited too. “I’m sure it won’t be all about running and we will have a bit of fun over there,” he said.
Battle of the undefeated boys’ high schools By Andrew King IT WILL be a battle between two undefeated teams in the UC Championship when Christchurch Boys take on Timaru Boys at noon today. In their first two hit outs, CBHS have scored 98 points and conceded 29. Timaru have also
been in good form, including a 43-17 victory over Shirley last week. However, it was a mixed bag for north-west teams at the weekend. St Andrew’s recorded their second win, beating Marlborough 15-0. St Andrew’s have one more game on the road against
Rangiora before their first home match against Lincoln. Burnside were defeated 74-7 by Nelson, who retained the Moascar Cup. Burnside return home to face Waimea Combined. St Bede’s travelled to play Christ’s and were beaten 41-19. They will look to improve as they host St Thomas in round four.

Loving your independence? Could this be you? Sally was referred to an Occupational Therapist (OT) as she was struggling to hear on the phone and was losing contact with her family and friends, she was wanting any help that could be useful following challenges since her car accident. She has: Ankylosing spondylitis (which is an illness that stiffens up the joints), Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and is a little hard of hearing. Fracture in her upper back from a car accident in 2015 Sally lives in a two storied home on a hill in native bush with her husband. She loves her home and gardening. Due to a combination of Ankylosing spondylitis and the recent upperback fracture Sally has a forward flexed spine, requiring her to bend her knees to look up. The OT visited Sally in her own home and covered the following info on the first assessment: Energy conserving techniques Regular postural changes to self manage back discomfort Problem solving Sally’s kitchen set up to minimise bending and reaching
Problem solved better phone options and also where to buy a cordless amplified phone Adjusting her office set up to optimise function when using computer Having raised garden beds and garden pots on her deck, Changes in social life since accident and covered the five ways to Mental Wellbeing to maximise mental wellness. Sally feels very connected to her two storied home, which is surrounded by native bush, situated on a hill. The OT discussed the challenges and solutions to remain living in this home long term and provided insights into ways to manage this including the potential of living on one level, use of the community van and possible bathroom adaptations. Summary from Sally’s perspective: Sally reports that she was delighted with the services as: - the OT came to her house and at a time of day and day of week that suited Sally best. - there was no waiting for the service seen within the week of referral. - it was so affordable - $135 assessment and advice - she received good advice that
immediately changed her daily life (so much more than improving communication by phone) - she now has clear understanding of both the challenges and solutions that may lie ahead of her. - This resulted in less worry about the future - She was impressed that the discussion involved her love for nature (still be able to enjoy her garden) and that it was not limited to immediate need and safety She expressed that she feels more confident about staying in her much loved home. She is aware of how to access future input from the OT who now knows her well. The Centre for Senior wellbeing is an information hub for Senior Health.

By Sarla Donovan RADIO LOLLIPOP is on a mission to raise funds for a new studio. The charity broadcasts live into Christchurch Hospital and Ronald McDonald House four nights a week, providing comfort and entertainment to children having surgical, medical and acute treatment. Until now, they’ve operated out of a mobile van on a construction site by the old parkside hospital entrance. Live broadcasts are 6-8pm Monday to Thursday and volunteers visit children in the wards during the show, playing games, doing crafts and giving parents a break. When not in use, the van is parked at the Z petrol station on nearby Lincoln Rd. Now, the Canterbury District Health Board has approved the design concept for a new studio to go inside the hospital. Radio Lollipop Christchurch chairman Kieran Denton is excited by the news. “It’ll be awesome, we and the hospital are really looking forward to it. It means children will be able to come in and run their own radio shows, which

is the model used around the world.” Volunteering at Radio Lollipop was its own reward, said Mr Denton. “It feels like you’re making a difference at a really difficult time for people. We get lots of thanks and smiles. Parents appreciate the change in their kids after we visit. Often we’re the only non-medical people that visit. We don’t poke or prod or give injections. We’re the fun people that come around.” He said research had shown

the interaction between volunteers and patients helped reduce the time spent in hospital and the amount of drugs the children required for pain. Radio Lollipop volunteers visited around 3000 children in Christchurch every year. The charity is part of a worldwide network running across five countries and over 30 hospitals.

USE THE RED CROSS ADVANTAGE - COMPREHENSIVE FIRST AID, ESSENTIAL FIRST AID, REVALIDATION OR TAILORED TRAINING TO SUIT yOU AT yOUR PLACE OR OURS.
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,
hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Avonside and Shirley
More than six years after earthquakes damaged their existing schools, Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High School are looking forward to moving to a cutting-edge campus on QEII Park. The design for the new schools has only recently been released. Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume says being able to start from scratch has enabled the architects to come up with the ‘ultimate campus’. “It features better facilities than either of our schools has ever had in the past. We are very excited at the educational opportunities this will enable us to offer our students.” Shirley Boys’ High School Headmaster John Laurenson says the schools will continue to deliver quality single sex education. “Students will spend most of their day in a single sex environment – that is really important to us. Single sex
education benefits both boys and girls. Our students will also benefit, both educationally and socially, from being able to learn alongside and mix with students from the partner school. It is a fantastic opportunity.” Among the major facilities are a large Performing Arts Centre (with a 750-seat and a 100-seat theatre), three full-sized Gyms (complete with climbing wall), a Cultural Space and four Sportsfields. Each school will also have a long list of specialist learning facilities. Highlights include an Electronics Lab, Recording Studios, Editing Suites, a 2D and 3D Printing Room, six Science Labs and an Indoor Fitness Centre (complete with exercise equipment including rowing machines, stationery bikes and treadmills). The schools are due to open on their new sites in time for Term Two of 2019.

Exercise
sharpens young adult brains Regular physical activity improves brain function even in young adults considered in their prime and at the height of cognitive ability, according to a University of Otago study.
A
body of research already exists showing aerobic exercise improves brain function in older adults, but there is a limited amount of literature on how it affects young adults. The Otago researchers, led by Department of Psychology Senior Lecturer Dr Liana Machado, set out to test the oft-held belief that the brains of young adults in their prime might not benefit as much as older people from regular sustained exercise. They took 52 tertiary students, aged between 18 to 30, and put them through a series of cognitive tests on a computer while measuring oxygen availability in
the frontal lobe of their brains, as well as their self-reported exercise frequency. Dr Machado says their “surprising” findings, just published online in the journal Psychophysiology, show that both blood supply to the brain and cognitive functioning appear to benefit from regular exercise in young adults. “This provides compelling evidence that regular exercise, at least five days per week, is a way to sharpen our cognitive ability as young adults – challenging the assumption that living a sedentary lifestyle leads to problems only later in life,” she says. The research also provides potential insight into understanding why people
who regularly engage in aerobic exercise tend to function better on a cognitive level. “I think the idea that young people do not have to worry about exercising since they are in their prime developmentally is rapidly being overturned by mounting evidence that even the brains of young adults can benefit from regular exercise,” she says. “The exercise could involve brisk walking or more vigorous activity, and could be made up of a few 10 minute bouts of exercise, rather than one single block of exercise,” she says. The researchers also found that body mass index was not a key factor in how
well the brain functioned, indicating that regular engagement in physical activity may be more important than body weight. Dr Machado says she had noticed over the years that university students appeared progressively less fit. “I wondered whether we might find significant relationships between exercise levels, oxygen availability in the brain, and cognition in the young adults, but no studies had considered this in healthy young adults.” These findings come at a time of increased scientific focus on links between exercise and cognitive health in older adults.

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the right heat pump for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, most homes include at least one heat pump, if not a whole heating solution. They can provide cheap, clean heat and are much more convenient than a log burner as you just need to press a button. But how do you decide what is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore important to get professional advice from heat pump experts. The range varies from wall mounted high walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted central heating systems allowing you to have a very discreet way of heating your whole home to a constant temperature throughout. Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is suitable for the size of the space you wish to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area taken into consideration but also, insulation, building orientation, windows and ceiling space. There are a wide range of heat pumps available with different heating outputs so it is important to select the correct size for your requirements that will handle the job but not be unnecessarily overpowered. Secondly, the location of your heat pump is also extremely important. The cheapest installation is a back to back where the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind the indoor unit however this is not necessarily always the best option. It is vital that the indoor unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is the location of the outdoor unit. Most people do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly in their outdoor entertaining area or right outside their bedroom window. Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands have come and gone over the years but there are a number of manufacturers who provide reputable and reliable products. All brands vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems and price, so it depends on your application as to which will be most suitable. Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands backed up by good technical after sales service. Ensure your heat pump is installed by an accredited installer. This will not only ensure correct installation of your heat pump, but also validate the manufacturers warranty. Other things to consider when choosing a heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi capabilities. Heating is a major investment in your home and it is vital to get the right advice. Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, installation and servicing of all major brands of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as to which system will suit your application the best.

The facts about home ventilation Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure Under the New Zealand Building Code, all buildings, including residential, need to be suitably ventilated, either with opening windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this provision is to safeguard people from illness or loss of amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, or mechanical, ventilation over opening windows, including warmth, security, reduction of outside noises and reduction of condensation. Traditional domestic ventilation systems are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from outside via the roof space and force the stale air out through gaps around windows and doors. The incoming air from these systems has to be heated or cooled to keep the house warm in winter or cool in summer. The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It extracts air from the house and at the same time brings in fresh air. These two streams of air pass through a heat exchanger, which warms incoming air in winter and cools in summer if air conditioning is being used. This means that up to 80% of the energy which would be
ve Remo ells ng sm i k o o c am! e t s d an
wasted using a traditional positive pressure system is recovered, resulting in significant energy savings and therefore lower heating or cooling costs. Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation systems have been considerably more expensive than traditional positive pressure systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 balanced pressure system can be installed for a similar price as a traditional positive pressure system.

IT’S A KINDA MAGIC RETURNS
Special available lunch only. Monday - Saturday 12pm - 2.30pm
Family Friendly
Aer an overwhelming reception from New Zealand audiences in 2015, Showtime Australia and Peter Freestone are bringing their huge theatrical Rock concert Queen: It's a Kinda Magic back to NZ, appearing at the Horncastle Arena on ursday 1st June. Capturing the imagination of Queen fans both locally and internationally, Director Johnny Van Grinsven attributes the show's continued success to the attention-to-detail; everything from the costumes, instruments and even the lighting cues have been designed to replicate those seen in real Queen concerts. Making Queen: It's A Kinda Magic extraordinarily authentic is the involvement of Peter Freestone, Freddie Mercury's best friend, biographer, assistant and constant companion for the �nal 12 years of his life. As Production Consultant, Freestone has schooled the cast and producers on the characters and nuances of the original band in order to perfect the performance. “We're extremely lucky to have Peter involved. He knows Freddie and the boys so well; his knowledge about who they are and how they moved and played and even their sense of humour has really helped take this show to the next level,” says Johnny Van Grinsven. Another highly impressive member of the ensemble is principal musician Giles Taylor who steps on stage as Freddie Mercury, and does so as the only tribute performer in the world who sings and plays both piano and guitar live on stage. Though piano and vocals have been a mainstay in Taylor's repertoire since his childhood, he taught himself guitar speci�cally for the role of Mercury. Supporting Taylor for this mammoth stage production are Australians Richie Baker as Brian May on guitar and Kyle ompson as Roger Taylor on drums, as well as South Africa's Steven Dennett as John Deacon on bass. Tickets on sale at Ticketek.
