Government funding.<br />
St Thomas’ social justice<br />
leader Dominic Anisy said the<br />
school tripled last year’s efforts<br />
– raising more than $12,000 for<br />
the cause.<br />
He said their initial goal was<br />
$6000 but they kept elevating it<br />
as they surpassed their target.<br />
St Thomas’ has now raised the<br />
most money out of all schools in<br />
New Zealand. •Turn to page 5<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />
THE HALSWELL Domain skate<br />

of the year because of a resource<br />
consent hold up.<br />
Its consent, which is still pending,<br />
is awaiting further information.<br />
City council head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said “the<br />
application is with a commissioner<br />
to make a decision. He has<br />
however asked a question of the<br />
applicant which the applicant is<br />
responding to.”<br />
City council head of parks Brent<br />
Smith said subject to gaining consent,<br />
the Halswell Domain skate<br />
park will be built in stages, with<br />
construction set to start at the<br />
end of August. He said the skate<br />
park would then be completed by<br />
Christmas. The Halswell Domain<br />
concept design includes a skate<br />
bowl, rising quarter pipe, mini<br />

Addington’s history soon in print<br />
AFTER A long wait, a book<br />
about the history of Addington<br />
is due to be published in June.<br />
The book titled Local Lives: A<br />
History of Addington was due to<br />
be released on November, but<br />
was postponed until June, due to<br />
funding issues.<br />
It is being<br />
produced by<br />
the Addington<br />
Neighbourhood<br />
Association<br />
and<br />
historian John<br />
Wilson.<br />
Mr Wilson<br />
John Wilson<br />
has spent more<br />
than 20 years<br />
interviewing locals, pouring<br />
over records and collating a huge<br />
amount information to put the<br />
368-page book together.<br />
“I have talked to a lot of people,<br />
but have missed a lot as well.<br />
If I was to interview everyone on<br />
the list, I would have been dead<br />
for 20 years,” he said.<br />
Mr Wilson, who now resides<br />
in Arthur’s Pass, was working<br />
for the city council heritage<br />
team in the 1990s when he was<br />
approached by the association<br />
to write a book about the suburb.<br />
The book begins with Addington’s<br />
birth as a working-class<br />
suburb in the 1860s and travels<br />
LOOKING BACK: Local Lives: A History of Addington will feature more than 150 photos and<br />
illustrations including this one with the concrete water tower which was built in 1883.<br />
through the years up until the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes.<br />
Mr Wilson, who has a PhD in<br />
history from Harvard University,<br />
said it was great the book<br />
was being designed and printed<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
The Addington Neighbourhood<br />
Association will host<br />
a book launch at St Mary’s<br />
Church, in Church Square, Addinton,<br />
on June 25<br />
•Orders for the book can<br />
be placed now for a prepublication<br />

PEDESTRIAN BLOCKED<br />
A private landowner’s rock<br />
landscaping has blocked<br />
pedestrian access to a crossing<br />
near the corner of Dyers Pass and<br />
Hackthorne Rds, making it unsafe.<br />
City council staff are investigating<br />
the landscaping and will give the<br />
Cashmere-Spreydon Community<br />
Board urgent advice on reinstating<br />
the pedestrian crossing.<br />
UPKEEP NEEDED<br />
Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage<br />
Trust chairman Ian Lochead,<br />
and trustee Margaret Sweet,<br />
updated the Cashmere-Spreydon<br />
Community Board on the state<br />
of the Ngaio Marsh house and<br />
gardens. As the house is over<br />
100-years-old, it is needing<br />
some upkeep, such as the roof<br />
replacement and insulation.<br />
Maintenance of the grounds is also<br />
required.<br />
SLIPWAY REPAIRS<br />
Work to fix the failed experimental<br />
slipway at Moncks Bay is expected<br />
to begin in two to three weeks<br />
time, with design detail almost<br />
complete. The city council-owned<br />
slipway was incorrectly installed<br />
before Christmas and the hinged<br />
extension was set too high,<br />
creating a large drop-off that was<br />
difficult for sailors and jetboaters<br />
to launch from.<br />

Headaches are not normal<br />
In today’s fast paced world,<br />
headaches are a normal ailment we<br />
just have to put up with or we can<br />
gloss over by taking a pill or a quick<br />
nap. WRONG! Studies have shown<br />
that roughly a third of all people suffer<br />
from headaches. So yes they are<br />
common, but no they are not normal.<br />
A headache is considered pain<br />
anywhere in the region of the head or<br />
neck, caused by many different<br />
conditions. The brain tissue itself is<br />
not sensitive to pain as it lacks pain<br />
receptors. Rather, the pain is caused<br />
by disturbance of pain-sensitive<br />
structures around the brain.<br />
As many as 45 million people suffer<br />
from chronic or severe headaches<br />
that seriously interfere with their lives.<br />
Signs and Symptoms<br />
Headaches vary in intensity and have<br />
different symptoms:<br />
• Pain in the head<br />
• Visual impairment (blurred vision)<br />
• Nausea and vomiting<br />
• Hearing impairment<br />
• Confusion<br />
• Discomfort<br />
• Irritability<br />
What causes headaches?<br />
Spinal misalignment-nerve irritation/<br />
interferences, certain foods,<br />
toxic fumes, preservatives and<br />
alcohol are all contributing factors to<br />
headaches. Spinal misalignments are<br />
shown to be involved in up to 80% of<br />
all headaches.<br />
Tension headaches are the most<br />
common type of headache for both<br />
adults and children. Triggers point<br />
include lack of sleep, emotional<br />
tension at home, work or school,<br />
second-hand cigarette smoke,<br />
skipped meals, poor nutrition, eye<br />
strain and bright lights.<br />
How Chiropractic helps<br />
Your spine protects your nervous<br />
system, which starts with the<br />
brain and becomes the spinal cord.<br />
Whenthe vertebrae in your neck are<br />
unable to move properly, it irritates<br />
or puts pressure on the nerves in that<br />
area. This can cause headaches.<br />
Chiropractic care addresses<br />
the cause of many types of headaches<br />
and therefore they are capable of<br />
removing or dramatically reducing the<br />
occurrence and frequency of these<br />
headaches, because they are usually<br />
due to what is called subluxations<br />
in the spine. They achieve this by<br />
performing Chiropractic adjustments<br />
to remove pressure on the nerves,<br />
which then also helps to improve<br />
nerve function.<br />
On a study conducted by the<br />
government of New Zealand it found<br />
that the majority of people who<br />
suffered from spinal misalignments<br />
had their headaches relieved or<br />
their condition improved through<br />
Chiropractic care.<br />

Busy summer of callouts for lifeboat<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
SIZEABLE SWELLS resulted<br />
in a busy past few months for<br />
the Sumner Lifeboat coastguard<br />
service.<br />
Following a quiet end to<br />
2017 and between Christmas<br />
and New Year, coxswain Blair<br />
Quane said call numbers picked<br />
up markedly with a number of<br />
operations between January and<br />
March.<br />
One callout on February 1<br />
involved three separate incidents<br />
happening at the same time, after<br />
a big southerly change came<br />
through and a “massive off-shore<br />
wind” got several people into<br />
trouble.<br />
First a boogie boarder was<br />
caught in a rip by the station<br />
headquarters.<br />
At the same time, a kite surfer<br />
off Scarborough Beach got into<br />
trouble and had to release his<br />
kite which flew off “halfway to<br />
the Chatham Islands,” said Mr<br />
Quane.<br />
“We had to take one of the<br />
boats out pretty much to the<br />
horizon to get his kite because<br />
we kept getting calls from people<br />
on the hills saying ‘there’s something<br />
out there that looks like a<br />
yacht in trouble’.”<br />
SKILLED: The Sumner Lifeboat headquarters during a recent<br />
operation.<br />
Simultaneously, a catamaran<br />
in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary<br />
flipped over and everybody on<br />
board fell out.<br />
“We were all hands on deck.”<br />
A week-long search for<br />
14-year-old Jack Sutton was one<br />
of the biggest the lifeboat had<br />
ever been involved in, with 93<br />
vessels searching from Waimairi<br />
to Lyttelton Harbour.<br />
Jack was swept out to sea after<br />
getting caught in a rip off Sumner<br />
Beach on February 5.<br />
His body was found washed<br />
up on the foreshore on February 12.<br />
Sumner Lifeboat has about<br />
40 active voluntary crew, along<br />
with reserve crew and three paid<br />
part-time staff members. It costs<br />
about $200-$250,000 a year for<br />
wages, crew gear, vessel maintenance,<br />
fuel and operational<br />
outgoings.<br />
The boat can often be spotted<br />
heading offshore on Tuesday<br />
evenings – training night.<br />
“Sumner is quite a unique<br />
unit for coastguards; it does a<br />
lot of its work within the surf,<br />
whereas Coastguard Canterbury<br />
and Waimakariri-Ashley are<br />
predominantly offshore or doing<br />
river work.”<br />
“We need skippers to be able<br />
to helm the boat in pretty atrocious<br />
conditions. A lot of the<br />
time, if there’s a really big surf<br />
BIG WAVES: Sumner Lifeboat trainees practice driving the<br />
boat in large swells and putting out fires on the breakwater. <br />
on you’ll see the boat go out and<br />
spend an hour or so out there.<br />
The guys are just getting used to<br />
driving the boat in the surf. Now<br />
we’re coming into winter so we<br />
start moving into night operation<br />
stuff where we’re driving in<br />
the dark, practising navigating<br />
into the estuary, being able to<br />
identify landmarks in the dark<br />
and use gear like the radio and<br />
GPS when it’s dark.”<br />
It takes a year of training<br />
before a new volunteer can crew<br />
on a callout.<br />
Heads<br />

The money will go towards information<br />
packs, emergency assistance<br />
vouchers, counselling and support<br />
group meetings for those affected by<br />
the cancer.<br />
Proud of his school’s accomplishment,<br />
Dominic says it’s been<br />
rewarding.<br />
“The boys really got behind it and<br />
really enjoyed it,” he said.<br />

Future of<br />
waterways<br />
in focus<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
MODELLING IS being carried out<br />
to assess the current condition of<br />
the city’s waterways and to predict<br />
what they will be like in 35 years.<br />
City council city services<br />
general manager David Adamson<br />
said the modelling estimates the<br />
annual amounts of contaminants<br />
such as copper, zinc and sediment<br />
in the stormwater, which could<br />
end up in the rivers.<br />
“An initial pilot trial has been<br />
done on the Avon catchment and<br />
this has now been extended to<br />
include all the major catchments<br />
in Christchurch.”<br />
He said the work was yet to be<br />
peer reviewed so could not be<br />
released.<br />
A recent city council survey of<br />
the waterways found people rated<br />
them more important than housing<br />
and education. But 60 per cent<br />
said the rivers were in “poor” or<br />
“terrible” states.<br />
The modelling was being<br />
done as part of the city council’s<br />
consent application to ECan to<br />
discharge stormwater into land<br />
and water.<br />
The application is on hold until<br />
June to allow the modelling to be<br />
done.<br />
Remuneration not a factor for<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
FAIRNESS: John McLister spoke out about low pay rates earlier this year, but it hasn’t deterred<br />
five people from standing for election to the board.<br />
LOW PAY rates haven’t served<br />
to dampen interest in local body<br />
politics in Lyttelton.<br />
In January this year, Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
member John McLister spoke<br />
out against the population-based<br />
formula used by the Remuneration<br />
Authority to set pay rates<br />
for boards.<br />
The population-based model<br />
means boards in areas with<br />
smaller populations get paid less.<br />
Banks Peninsula’s board members<br />
receive $9527 a year, less<br />
than half the $22,5<strong>03</strong>-$23,742<br />
paid to members of the six city<br />
boards.<br />
But this hasn’t deterred the<br />
five candidates contesting the<br />
seat vacated by Christine Wilson.<br />
Funeral consultant Robyn<br />
Struthers, public sector analyst<br />
Tyrone Fields, Healthy Harbour<br />
chairwoman Yvette Couch-<br />
Lewis, community volunteer<br />
Paul Dietsche and bar manager<br />
Ashley Stanbridge are running<br />
in the by-election triggered by<br />
Ms Wilson’s resignation last<br />
month.<br />
Bay Harbour News asked the<br />
candidates what they thought<br />
of the remuneration – and why<br />
they were standing.<br />
Robyn Struthers she understood<br />
that rates were set using<br />
a population based formula but<br />
didn’t want to comment further.<br />
“To me it’s not an issue; I’m<br />
not standing because of that, I’m<br />
standing for the people.”<br />
She said she could understand<br />
the pay rate may affect some<br />
board members’ decision to<br />
stand again. “I am semi-retired.<br />
I’m in a different position; that’s<br />
not my reason for standing and<br />
for some of the younger ones,<br />
probably it is. But I’m in a different<br />
position and I’ve got time.”<br />
Tyrone Fields said if people<br />
had to take time off work it was<br />
“fair enough” they were compensated.<br />
He was aware the population<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
based model affected the pay<br />
level: “It’s a bit odd that they’re<br />
out of alignment so you’d probably<br />
want to have a look at the<br />
remuneration packages around<br />
community boards in general.”<br />
Mr Fields said having finished<br />
his Masters in social work, the<br />
by-election seemed like an opportune<br />
time to get involved.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
“I’ve only been politically<br />
active for a few years but I’ve<br />
always been interested and the<br />
fact that it’s Lyttelton is the real<br />
clincher for me. It’s a unique<br />
opportunity to connect with my<br />
home town.”<br />
Yvette Couch-Lewis said it<br />
wasn’t an issue she had taken<br />
into consideration.<br />
“I think community is important<br />
and I think we’re losing a<br />
lot of that, whether at national<br />
or local level. So instead of complaining<br />
about that, I might as<br />
well get in there, see if it’s true<br />
and do something about it.”<br />
Paul Dietsche said remuneration<br />
was something that needed<br />
to be addressed, whether he was<br />
elected to the board or not.<br />
“It’s ridiculous that board<br />
members have to go great<br />
distances in the area at their<br />
own expense because of the low<br />
wage.”<br />
He said if elected, one of the<br />
key things he wanted to work<br />
on was increasing community<br />
engagement with the board.<br />
“I was looking through some<br />
of the minutes for the previous<br />
six months of meetings and<br />
noted that for a lot of them<br />
there were no people deputised<br />
to speak. To me that says the<br />
public isn’t very well informed or<br />
engaged with the board. I think<br />
it’s a shame more people aren’t<br />
PAY DIFFERENCE: The Banks Peninsula Community Board<br />
covers a large area but the low population base means a<br />
smaller rate of remuneration for board members.<br />
coming to the meetings and letting<br />
their concerns be heard.”<br />
Social media was one of the<br />
simplest and cheapest tools for<br />
communicating with people<br />
who weren’t currently engaged,<br />
he said.<br />
Ashley Stanbridge said it was<br />
unfair that the Banks Peninsula<br />
board were paid less than the<br />
city boards, but he wasn’t standing<br />
for the money.<br />
“I have a job that pays the bills.<br />
It’s about giving a voice to the<br />
younger or less visible members<br />
of the community that I get to<br />
speak with pretty regularly.”<br />
Mr Stanbridge said attending<br />
fortnightly full-day meetings<br />
wouldn’t affect his work as he<br />
had flexible hours, though as<br />
the father of a young baby it<br />
would be an extra factor.<br />
“But again, I am raising a<br />
child in this community so it is<br />
in all of our interests for me to<br />
be there.”<br />

Initially, both skate parks were<br />
supposed to be completed at the<br />
start of the year. But this was then<br />
extended to <strong>April</strong>.<br />
Mr Smith says it’s very satisfying<br />
that work is about to start at<br />
Knights Stream.<br />
“We know there are a lot of<br />
young people in the local community<br />
who are very eager to get<br />

Call to rid river of hazards<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
Dorothee<br />
Pauli<br />
NATURAL hazards and rubbish<br />
are causing congestion, accidents<br />
and near misses for more than<br />
800 rowers and paddlers who<br />
use the Avon River near Kerrs<br />
Reach.<br />
Plants called flag<br />
iris, geese, weeds,<br />
trees and water<br />
quality are all<br />
issues Union Rowing<br />
Club president<br />
Dorothee Pauli<br />
would like addressed<br />
in an<br />
“ideal world” to improve health<br />
and safety on the river.<br />
“We are grappling with natural<br />
hazards and the flag irises are<br />
chief among them. They detach<br />
from the side of the banks and<br />
cause free-flowing islands, they<br />
change position all the time and<br />
people collide with them. They<br />
trap rubbish also, making the<br />
islands even bigger.”<br />
Loose weeds are not able to<br />
drain away properly as they<br />
are getting caught in the plant<br />
islands.<br />
The iris, which Ms Pauli<br />
believes are often waist-height or<br />
higher, make visibility difficult.<br />
“For me as a coach, the worst<br />
PROBLEMS: Union Rowing Club president Dorothee Pauli is<br />
calling for action to combat natural hazards, such as flag iris<br />
plants, which are causing problems for Avon River users.<br />

thing is that they reduce visibility,<br />
sometimes I can’t see my<br />
crews and we are supposed to<br />
supervise them at all times.”<br />
City council acting manager<br />
land drainage Tim Joyce said<br />
it has not carried out any mechanical<br />
removal of flag iris this<br />
year. However, it has undertaken<br />
a more targeted spraying programme.<br />
“Getting equipment to these<br />
sites is very difficult, either due<br />
to the reach required or wet and<br />
unstable banks,” he said.<br />
“Flag iris is a pest plant and<br />
we get our contractor to spray<br />
it wherever we encounter it, not<br />
just limited to the Avon River.<br />
This is only done at certain<br />
times of the year when it is most<br />
effective.”<br />
Ms Pauli said several groups<br />
such as rowers, paddlers, and<br />
other recreational river users are<br />
having to adhere to strict rules<br />
to avoid collisions.<br />
“We have already looked at<br />
safety issues in terms of the<br />
rules of the river, how the traffic<br />
should flow, who goes where,<br />
how to overtake, it is difficult to<br />
enforce, but we are trying.”<br />
The flag iris’ reduce lane width<br />
in the river, taking 1-2m on each<br />
side, said Ms Pauli.<br />
Growing numbers of geese<br />
are a difficulty with their faeces<br />
covering the pontoons used at<br />
Kerrs Reach.<br />
“We have to clean them all the<br />
time and it all just goes into the<br />
Avon . . . it’s endangering our<br />
health,” said Ms Pauli.<br />
Concerns about the state of<br />
the trees on the river banks are<br />
also an issue.<br />
In January, a Shirley Boys’<br />
High School rowing boat was<br />
crushed by a rotten 30m tree,<br />
with the crew narrowly avoiding<br />
injury.<br />
The congestion has caused accidents<br />
in the past.<br />
Late last year a single skull<br />
rower was run over by a boys<br />
eight boat, causing a rescue<br />
operation, bad back injury and a<br />
boat to be written off.<br />

Felled trees<br />
in Rawhiti<br />
Domain used<br />
for play area<br />
THE TREES felled at Rawhiti<br />
Domain due to safety concerns<br />
have been used to form a small<br />
natural children’s play area near<br />
the Keyes Rd entrance.<br />
City council approached the<br />
Guardians of Rawhiti group to<br />
ask if it could use the logs and<br />
stumps to form a play area in<br />
the domain after the trees were<br />
brought down on March 13.<br />
“It was all quite short notice<br />
and an opportunity we just<br />
grabbed. This was a case of<br />
seizing the moment, to make<br />
use of what we were loosing, to<br />
create a fun area with material<br />
that is naturally in the domain.<br />
It gives people an idea of the<br />
type of play area which could<br />
be extended into the tree grove<br />
area,” said Guardians of Rawhiti<br />
member Ruthie Gareth.<br />
The city council has put up<br />
a sign asking people not to remove<br />
the logs following an incident<br />
in June when logs reserved<br />
for a play area were chopped up<br />
and taken by members of the<br />
public.<br />

Centuries old folk remedy<br />
supports good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health<br />
benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.<br />
Since the time of Hippocrates – the<br />
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />
renowned for its curative properties.<br />
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &<br />
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />
reports how he found that Vermonters<br />
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey<br />
had excellent health with many putting in<br />
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />
when well into their eighties. He also noted<br />
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />
remarkable with many patients reporting<br />
almost total relief after taking a course<br />
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />
counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />
the body control calcium use. He also noted<br />
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and<br />
H around meal time had excellent blood<br />
pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />
found was that protein foods thickened the<br />
blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood<br />
thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly<br />
through the blood vessels and capillaries.<br />
This poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />
health by limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />
well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />
To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />
increases blood pressure but this puts<br />
more stress on the blood vessels, organs<br />

and heart. Having ACV and H with meals<br />
will help prevent protein raising the blood<br />
pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />
of greater well-being because the thinner<br />
blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />
an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />
Health attributes.<br />
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />
the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />
readily accepted by the bodyGood health<br />
starts with good digestion and assimilation<br />
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will<br />
stimulate and promote healthy digestion<br />
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good<br />
health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />
helps prevent disease by neutralising any<br />
toxic substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all ACV is<br />
produced in the traditional way and results<br />
are likely to prove disappointing with these<br />
other vinegars.<br />
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV<br />
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />
the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />
you can use less.<br />

Are you looking for a beauty oil that<br />
contains a blend of some of the most<br />
effective oils available and that these oils are<br />
just 100% pure and natural with no fillers<br />
or cheap additives?<br />
Our new ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL<br />
BLEND contains a perfect combination of<br />
three of the best natural healing and skin<br />
restoration oils available to give your skin<br />

The first oil is the remarkable Organic<br />

Pacific Islands Dilo oil may however be the<br />
number one natural beauty oil available.<br />

Chris Kilham, Dilo is a<br />
powerful skin regenerator, as<br />
it is one of the most effective<br />
agents in promoting the<br />
regeneration and formation<br />
of new skin tissue. It is superabsorbing<br />
and can penetrate<br />
all three layers of the skin,<br />
offering exceptional cell<br />
hydration and regeneration.<br />
Dilo contains powerful<br />
antibacterial, antioxidant and<br />
anti-inflammatory properties<br />
which promotes the growth<br />
of healthy and glowing skin.<br />
Organic Argan oil (or liquid<br />
gold) is the next amazing<br />
oil that is extremely rich in<br />
beneficial nutrients, fatty<br />
acids and vitamin E. It gives<br />
the skin a youthful glow<br />
restores elasticity and leaves<br />
the skin feeling plumper and<br />
softer.<br />

skin damage over a period of time. It is well<br />
known to help with scars, stretch marks,<br />
age spots, skin pigmentation and reduce<br />
the signs of premature aging.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
The health<br />
effects of sugar<br />
Should we be alarmed or is this<br />
likely to be another area that science<br />
backtracks on?<br />
The answer to that question is Yes,<br />
we should be worried, there are real<br />
problems caused by the volume of sugar<br />
being consumed by the average person<br />
and when look back over the last decades<br />
the problem is getting worse, not better.<br />
developments in research and<br />
understanding the fields of nutrition<br />
and food safety change how we view<br />
products we consume and patterns of<br />
consumption can make the negative<br />
effects of foods more pronounced.<br />
while these advances should be<br />
embraced, as each development leads<br />
to better understanding and health<br />
outcomes it can also be frustrating to<br />
the average consumer who can feel like<br />
just when they ‘get’ a good healthy eating<br />
plan together, the rules change.<br />
The recommendations for sugar are a<br />
good example of how information can<br />
be confusing, some sources encourage<br />
the complete ban on all sugar containing<br />
products and others, such as the heart<br />
foundation recommend a reduction<br />
rather than complete removal.<br />
It’s not so confusing though really, at<br />
no time in history has sugar ever been<br />
presented as a healthy food, but as in the<br />
past it took more effort to consume sugar<br />
it was less of a problem, we could ‘get<br />
away with it’.<br />
In the past sugar was something that<br />
you could control through how much<br />
you added, in baking and to your cup of<br />
tea. This knowledge then transferred into<br />
the first generation of convenience food,<br />
if it was sweet, it had sugar in it.<br />
what we now face as a challenge is<br />
not that suddenly sugar is bad, but that<br />
it is added, often quietly, to many of the<br />
processed foods we consume, even when<br />
they aren’t sweet.<br />
The availability and often-reduced<br />
price of these foods compared to<br />
healthier option make them an easy<br />
choice to the time poor or uneducated<br />
consumer. “Your face is unique.<br />
There Trust are your some injectable simple tips you can<br />
follow, wrinkle including treatments reading food labels;<br />
consuming to an as experienced much food as possible<br />
in a Cosmetic state close Physician” to its natural form and<br />
avoiding sugary drinks. Consumers also<br />
need to be Medical aware Director of marketing claims<br />
Dr Heather Jefferies<br />
that do not provide the full nutritional<br />
picture of a product.<br />
A sensible place to start is by<br />
combining a diet low in processed food<br />
and sugar combined with regular activity<br />
What we now face as<br />
a challenge is not that<br />
suddenly sugar is bad, but<br />
that it is added, often quietly<br />
to many of the processed<br />
foods we consume, even<br />
when they aren’t sweet.<br />
as the path to long-term health.<br />
For more advice and direction to<br />
improve your health talk to your<br />
registered exercise professional, they can<br />
offer some advice and are able to refer<br />
you to sources of information and other<br />

Summer cooling<br />
“Did you know your heat pump is an air<br />
conditioner?”<br />
BUT!! If you bought it for heating it will<br />
struggle to cool the area as cooling is always<br />
less output e.g. Mitsubishi Electric MSZGE42<br />
= 5kW heating and 4.2kW cooling. So always<br />
ask your installer if you want cooling as well as<br />
heating. We at Air Con Christchurch always<br />
advise what we have quoted for.<br />
Heating tips<br />
Select “Heat” on heat pump and set<br />
temperature at approximately 21 – 22 degrees<br />
with fan on Auto<br />
Cooling tips<br />
Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this<br />
will save you up to 30% running costs and still<br />
be cool (try it and see). 16 degrees is too low.<br />
Heat pump cleaning is now due for<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or<br />
a retrofit, most homes include<br />
at least one heat pump, if not a<br />
whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are<br />
much more convenient than a log<br />
burner as you just need to press a<br />
button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right<br />
sized heat pump is key to ensuring<br />
optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional<br />
advice from heat pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall<br />
mounted high walls, floor mounted systems,<br />
multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through<br />
to ducted central heating systems allowing<br />
you to have a very discreet way of heating<br />
your whole home to a constant temperature<br />
throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is<br />
suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it is<br />
important to select<br />
the correct size for<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the<br />
right advice.<br />
your requirements<br />
that will handle<br />
the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily<br />
overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the<br />
location of your<br />
heat pump is also extremely important. The<br />
cheapest installation is a back to back where<br />
the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind<br />
the indoor unit however this is not necessarily<br />
always the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to<br />
consider when<br />
choosing a heat pump<br />
are time clocks, ease<br />
of use of the remote<br />
controllers, air<br />
filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home and it is vital to get<br />
the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />
obligation quote and will come to your home<br />

Fresh air<br />
in your home<br />
All houses require air exchange in order<br />
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live<br />
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air<br />
quality is important for the health of the<br />
occupants. Houses can have many sources of<br />
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,<br />
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening<br />
the windows can refresh the air, but is not<br />
always an option for security reasons and can<br />
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.<br />
Although older houses have small gaps around<br />
windows and doors, you want to be able to<br />
control the flow of air. You don’t want air<br />
coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and<br />
pushing the soiled air around the house. It<br />
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and<br />
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in<br />
from the rest of the house to replace the air that<br />
has been removed.<br />
Modern houses are very airtight and<br />
theoretically require a source of incoming air<br />
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to<br />
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be<br />
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not<br />
to cause draughts.<br />
There are two main types of ventilation system:<br />
Positive pressure and Balanced pressure.<br />
Positive pressure systems, such as the Dry-<br />
Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into<br />
the house, which then percolates through the<br />
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.<br />
Balanced pressure systems bring in a similar<br />
amount of air to the amount they exhaust.<br />
Balanced pressure systems with Heat<br />
Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the heat<br />
of the outgoing air to warm the incoming<br />
air from outside. These are the most energy<br />
efficient systems available, as they recover up<br />
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than<br />
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just<br />
as well cooling incoming air when the house is<br />
cooled in summer.<br />
The NZ building code has recommended<br />
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain<br />
the required airflow for your home, please<br />
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to<br />
recommend a solution if your ventilation<br />
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.<br />
