FOR A CAUSE: St Thomas of Canterbury College student Matthew Ryan sees the funny side of having his head shaved.<br />

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 />

price of $40 to<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 />

shaved for<br />

a good cause<br />

•From page 1<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 />

be completed by the end of July.<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 />

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 />

SENIOR LIVING<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 />

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 />

what it needs!<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 />

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 />

to see what is required. Visit our website at<br />

www.enviromaster.co.nz.<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 />
