THE ST Andrew’s College<br />
preparatory first XI hockey<br />
team had the chance to learn<br />
some tips and tricks from<br />
former Black Sticks star Gemma<br />
McCaw.<br />
McCaw played 246 games for<br />
New Zealand scoring 71 goals<br />
since 2008.<br />
Page 5 Page 7<br />
McCaw inspires St Andrew’s first XI<br />
The 28-year-old spoke to<br />
the students for 30min<br />
about perseverance and<br />
success and answered any<br />
questions.<br />
She also ran a coaching<br />
and skills session on the school<br />
turf.<br />
The opportunity came about<br />
when a parent won an auction<br />
for McCaw’s time at the Chalky<br />
Carr Trust fundraising dinner,<br />
of which McCaw is the patron.<br />
She spoke to the team about<br />
the importance of looking<br />
within yourself, giving 100 per<br />
cent and never giving up on<br />
your dreams.<br />
She stressed the importance<br />
of staying focused on school<br />
work as well as the need for a<br />
career after sport.<br />
The team will be travelling to<br />
the AIMS Games in Tauranga<br />
in September.<br />
They hope to place in the top<br />
five at that event.<br />
The team currently play in<br />
division two in the Canterbury<br />
Hockey Kwik Sticks 11-aside<br />
competition.<br />
They currently sit at the top of<br />
the table.<br />

Blenheim<br />
Road<br />
overbridge<br />
site still<br />
a disgrace<br />
– residents<br />
group<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE SITE of the former Blenheim<br />
Rd overbridge is being investigated<br />
as a health and safety risk.<br />
The investigation was prompted<br />
as the Deans Avenue Precinct Society<br />
wrote to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
pleading for the “disgraceful” state<br />
of the site to be addressed.<br />
City council head of regulatory<br />
compliance Tracey Weston has<br />
received the letter and is investigating<br />
the site.<br />
“Until that investigation has<br />
concluded, we cannot comment<br />
further.”<br />
Deans Avenue Precinct Society<br />
chairwoman Claire Mulcock said:<br />
“The area where the overbridge existed<br />
has developed into a disgraceful<br />
mass of trees, rubbish, vermin<br />
and in a large corner of the site<br />
squatters and people living rough<br />
are residing there.”<br />
She said the area provides a<br />
“threat” to security, as well as<br />
health and safety.<br />

GIVE 100 per cent.<br />
That could be said for just about everything<br />
in life, and for St Andrew’s College<br />
hockey players it couldn’t have probably<br />
come from someone more inspirational<br />
than Gemma McCaw (see page 1).<br />
The former Black Sticks international took a coaching session<br />
at the school which included talking about perseverance and<br />
success. The opportunity to get McCaw to St Andrew’s came<br />
about when a parent won an auction for her time at the Chalky<br />
Carr Trust Fundraising Dinner.<br />
McCaw is the patron.<br />
And it wasn’t all about sport. She stressed the importance of<br />
staying focussed on your school work as well as the need for a<br />
career after sport. Wise words.<br />

Quarry, properties space bid<br />
• By Emily O’Connell and Anan<br />
Zaki<br />
ANTI-TEMPLETON quarry<br />
campaigner Simon Moore has<br />
thrown his support behind<br />
having a set distance between<br />
quarries and properties.<br />
The Selwyn District Plan<br />
Committee has decided to<br />
include setbacks in the district<br />
plan but it will not specify how<br />
far away a quarry must be from<br />
a property.<br />
“That’s exactly what we want.<br />
The only problem is the district<br />
plan can take long to happen.<br />
“At the moment, it’s a joke,<br />
if we got 500m it would be a<br />
start,” he said.<br />
Mr Moore (right) said he<br />
preferred a 1km setback but<br />
“anything was better than nothing”.<br />
“I just don’t think for example,<br />
the people moving to<br />
Rolleston, West Melton and<br />
Lincoln realise that under the<br />
current rules a quarry could be<br />
plonked next to one of the new<br />
subdivisions.”<br />
However, district councillor<br />
Craig Watson believes a setback<br />
distances should have been<br />
included.<br />
Cr Watson said there should<br />
be a 500m setback from “points<br />
of interest” such as houses, and<br />
a 250m setback from properties.<br />
“For me, this is an opportunity<br />
for us to be stronger as a<br />
council and say ‘look we understand<br />
the significance of quarrying<br />
and it’s important but also<br />
understand it’s really hard if<br />
you’re close so here’s one way to<br />
make this work and that’s having<br />
setbacks,’ “ he said.<br />
Cr Watson said his numbers<br />
came from decisions made by<br />
other councils.<br />
Meanwhile, Selwyn MP Amy<br />
Adams has found a way for<br />
Templeton residents opposed<br />
to the proposed Fulton Hogan<br />
quarry to get potential information<br />
at no cost.<br />
Residents opposing the<br />
quarry were told by Environment<br />
Canterbury in March that<br />
it would cost $2356 to process<br />
their Official Information Request.<br />
However, Ms Adams said<br />
on Wednesday that she would<br />
use her powers as an MP to help<br />
residents avoid fees.<br />
“Generally MP’s are not<br />
charged, so I have offered<br />
residents who are told they will<br />
face a substantial charge ... to<br />
have me seek the information<br />
on their behalf to see if we can<br />
avoid extra cost in this way,” she<br />
said.<br />
Ms Adams said fees were<br />
a barrier for people seeking<br />
official information.<br />
Templeton Residents<br />
Association chairman Garry<br />
Kilday welcomed Ms Adams<br />
offer.<br />
He met with ECan officials<br />
last Monday about OIA fees and<br />
hoped ECan would not charge<br />
for future requests, following<br />
the meeting.<br />
“Both Selwyn District<br />
Council and Christchurch City<br />
have said the information we<br />
request is free, so it looks like is<br />
coming to the party as well.<br />
“They said we have to shorten<br />
our time periods down for OIA<br />
requests. If we do it one year at<br />
a time, they said we will get the<br />
information,” Mr Kilday said.<br />
But if there was a fee involved,<br />
residents would take up Ms<br />
Adams offer, he said.<br />

DENTON PARK MEETING<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board has proposed<br />
an extraordinary board meeting to<br />
consider a hearings panel recommendation<br />
on the proposed Denton<br />
Park reclassification. The hearings<br />
panel last month recommended<br />
against transforming the park into<br />
a multi-million dollar community<br />
hub. The meeting is anticipated<br />
to be held on July 6 at Te Hāpua:<br />
Halswell Centre. The date will be<br />
confirmed by the community board<br />
today. The venue was selected due to<br />
potentially high attendance.<br />
SKATE PARK DELAYED<br />
Completion of the Knights Stream<br />
skate park has been delayed to mid-<br />
August due to rain last month. The<br />
city council said the wet weather<br />
was not ideal for concrete pouring.<br />
When construction started in April,<br />
it was expected to finish by the end<br />
of July.<br />
SPEED LIMIT CHANGES<br />
Lower speeds have been proposed<br />
on the Yaldhurst section of Buchanans<br />
Rd. City council staff have<br />
recommended the speed limit on<br />
the road between Gilberthorpes Rd<br />
and FW Delamain be reduced from<br />
70 km/h to 50 km/h. A decision<br />
on the changes will be made today<br />
by the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

A love affair with bonsai earns recognition<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
“STATIONARY PETS” is how<br />
Beverley Van describes her<br />
beloved bonsai trees.<br />
Mrs Van, 83, has been fascinated<br />
with bonsai trees for more<br />
than half a century. Throughout<br />
that time, she has always maintained<br />
it as a hobby, while she<br />
worked as an office administrator.<br />
She recently received a Queen’s<br />
Service Medal for her services to<br />
bonsai in the Queen’s Birthday<br />
Honours.<br />
“A letter came a few weeks ago<br />
and I opened it and thought perhaps<br />
they got the wrong address,<br />
it was most unexpected.<br />
“It was a lovely moment, I am<br />
very thankful,” Mrs Van said.<br />
An Ilam resident of 30 years,<br />
she confessed her early days of<br />
growing bonsai were far from<br />
perfect.<br />
“I killed a lot of trees along the<br />
way, but I got there in the end,”<br />
Mrs Van said. Now, she has more<br />
than 40 bonsai trees.<br />
She got her first taste of bonsai<br />
while on a Scouts trip in <strong>19</strong>65.<br />
“We had a leaders meeting one<br />
DEVOTED: Beverley Van, QSM, with one of her pinus radiata trees.<br />
night and we had a guest speaker,<br />
Peter McLay, who had been<br />
growing bonsai for many years.<br />
He showed us what to do and I<br />
thought I could do that,” Mrs<br />
Van said.<br />
She founded the Avon Bonsai<br />
Society in Bishopdale with her<br />
late husband Alan Van in <strong>19</strong>93.<br />
Aside from bonsai, she also has<br />
a love for pottery.<br />
“My husband and I decided<br />
to join the pottery group [Canterbury<br />
Potters Association] on<br />
Memorial Ave [in <strong>19</strong>92].<br />
Volunteers honoured<br />
at awards ceremony<br />
THOUSANDS OF hours of<br />
work given to the community<br />
has been recognised at the <strong>2018</strong><br />
Volunteer Recognition Awards.<br />
The ceremony was held at the<br />
civic offices yesterday.<br />
Halswell’s Jennifer Buchanan<br />
was awarded for her work at<br />
GirlGuiding New Zealand.<br />
She has been a leader at First<br />
Halswell Brownies for seven<br />
years and each week caters for<br />
30 girls aged seven to nine years<br />
from all over Christchurch.<br />
GirlGuiding New Zealand<br />
said she gave a “110 per cent” to<br />
her work, while making each<br />
week fun and engaging and<br />
encouraging girls to use their<br />
imagination.<br />
“Jeni is a great role model for<br />
the girls and a valuable advocate<br />
for the organisation.”<br />
Riccarton-based Oak Development<br />
Trust’s Lois Reid was<br />
also recognised for her volunteering<br />
contributions.<br />
She has been involved with<br />
the Oak Development Trust<br />
since 2006, attending to nail<br />
care for the elderly and those<br />
with disabilities at the six<br />
weekly Nail Care Clinic and<br />
also at the weekly Mainly Music/Playgroup<br />
held at Riccarton<br />
Baptist Church.<br />
“Lois is pleasant, caring and<br />
respectful in all her exchanges,”<br />
the trust said.<br />
She went to great lengths to<br />
engage with each person she<br />
met, it said.<br />
Yaldhurst’s Petersgate Counselling<br />
Centre’s Elizabeth Cant<br />
was awarded for her 3600 hours<br />
of volunteer work to the centre.<br />
The centre said she provided<br />
“invaluable support” during<br />
office hours.<br />
“Elizabeth has ensured clients<br />
would not feel alone during a<br />
time of year when people can<br />
feel particularly vulnerable.<br />
“Elizabeth has also<br />
encouraged and trained many<br />
other Petersgate volunteers,<br />
passing on her knowledge<br />
and experience with a big<br />
heart and wonderful sense of<br />
humour.”<br />
“When [the pottery group] had<br />
a sale, we had bonsai trees on a<br />
sales table along with the pots we<br />
made. Many people seemed to be<br />
interested and we were asked to<br />
run classes,” Mrs Van said.<br />
The club never looked back<br />
since and she taught “hundreds”<br />
of people over the years, she said.<br />
Her husband was her biggest<br />
supporter until he passed away<br />
nine years ago.<br />
“He used to do [bonsai], he said<br />
‘well if I can’t beat her I will have<br />
to join her.”<br />
Bonsai had become increasingly<br />
popular in recent years,<br />
Mrs Van said.<br />
“A lot of people are interested<br />
because it’s something you can<br />
grow without having a great big<br />
garden. If you live in a flat, you<br />
can take your trees with you<br />
when you move.”<br />
She encouraged more people to<br />
get into bonsai in their pastime<br />
and welcomed new members to<br />
the club, which met every month.<br />
“It’s a very nice hobby and<br />
anybody can do it, we get people<br />
from all walks of life, all ages<br />
from teenagers up to my age,” she<br />
said.<br />
Overbridge<br />
still a<br />
disgrace<br />
•From page 1<br />
“The trees are completely<br />
overgrown, the area is a dumping<br />
ground for domestic rubbish such<br />
as mattresses, rubbish bags and<br />
other disposables.”<br />
Ms Mulcock said Deans Ave<br />
residents feel unsafe walking across<br />
the section, especially in the early<br />
morning and evening in darkness.<br />
Ms Mulcock said: “In view of the<br />
justified icon in which Hagley Park<br />
is held, this area is a blight on our<br />
landscape, is a blight on our city<br />
and is a blight on the surrounds of<br />
probably one of the best facilities<br />
that exist in terms of open air space<br />
sport and recreation in our city.”<br />

‘Grass games’ created at Hornby High<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
HORNBY HIGH School<br />
students have volunteered with<br />
the Gap Filler project, creating<br />
a series of “grass games” for<br />
families to enjoy over the winter<br />
months.<br />
As part of the games, the<br />
students developed two mini<br />
five-a-side football fields, a maze<br />
and an up-scaled version of a<br />
snakes and ladders board game.<br />
The students were part of the<br />

Each year, students<br />
participating in the STAR<br />
programme choose a project<br />
that they will undertake for the<br />
community as part of learning<br />
how to be good community<br />
citizens. This year they decided<br />
to volunteer to work on a project<br />
with Gap Filler.<br />
Working with Gap Filler staff,<br />
the student leaders came up<br />
with concepts at a workshop<br />
during the school holidays.<br />
These concepts formed the basis<br />
of what they created during<br />
their recent volunteer day.<br />

Ngai Tahu<br />
scholarship<br />
RICCARTON HIGH student Adia<br />
McKay, 14, has been awarded the<br />
Ngai Tahu scholarship Te Pokai Ao<br />
(Travel the World).<br />
The year 9 student will travel to<br />
Hawaii during the October school<br />
holidays for a “cultural experience”<br />
involving a science, technology, engineering<br />
and maths programme.<br />
She will then return to New<br />
Zealand for a noho marae at one of<br />
the papatipu marae in the greater<br />
Ōtautahi region.<br />
The focus of the programme will<br />
be to establish place-based connection,<br />
understanding and context of<br />
papatipu marae, their community<br />
and environment.<br />
As part of the programme, participants<br />
will visit and engage in<br />
organised activities at Canterbury<br />
University, as well as local areas of<br />
cultural significance.<br />
Adia’s success was based on a<br />
comprehensive application, outlining<br />
science, mathematics and technology<br />
skills, and demonstrating<br />
a passion for kapa haka and Māori<br />
culture. She also had to create a<br />
30sec video, outlining a problem to<br />
solve and why it is important to the<br />
applicant and their marae.<br />

More than 120 students participated in the<br />
annual Musical Extravaganza organised by<br />
teacher Anne-Marie Plummer. Over three hours<br />
of 35 musical pieces were played in the three<br />
hour concert. Music of various genres filled the<br />
stage, including jazz, concert orchestra, vocal<br />
ensembles, mixed choirs, ukulele ensemble,<br />
student lead bands, and so much more. This<br />
showcase is a total school effort including the<br />
tech crew and arts committee who set up the<br />
sound and stage equipment whilst running the<br />
operations backstage. We look forward to next<br />
May’s Musical Extravaganza.<br />
Riccarton High welcomed over 200 students last<br />
month to experience a day at their local high<br />
school. Student leaders and teachers welcomed<br />
year 8 students from their school zone partners<br />
to experience and engage in activities they will<br />
be participating in next year.<br />
The visiting students experienced a flavour of<br />
science, social studies, English, maths, arts,<br />
sport, and of course socialisation which provide<br />
outlines, daily activities, fun and engagement.<br />
The day event provides a transitional pathway<br />
opportunity for future students to witness<br />
first-hand what’s coming next in their academic<br />
experience and address any potential concerns.<br />

At the beginning of 2017, student Thomas Chin<br />
was selected as an Ambassador for the Halberg<br />
Foundation and one of 10 members of the<br />
foundation’s Youth Council.<br />
Twice a year the committee members, who<br />
are all physically disabled, meet at head office<br />
in Auckland to discuss and create initiatives<br />
and programmes for physically disabled<br />
young people, acting as the youth voice for the<br />
Halberg Foundation.<br />
Thomas was invited to take part in the <strong>2018</strong><br />
Halberg Awards event in February, escorting the<br />
previous Supreme Halberg Award winner Lisa<br />
Carrington to the stage to hand over her trophy.<br />
He says while he meets a lot of people through<br />
his involvement with the foundation, and that’s<br />
cool, the most rewarding aspect is “meeting<br />
with a bunch of physically disabled kids and<br />
connecting with them on a personal level”.<br />
Chatting to them,<br />
he says, and finding<br />
out what they want<br />
to achieve and how<br />
barriers to that can be<br />
removed, is rewarding<br />
and the purpose of<br />
his role.<br />
Thomas is also the<br />
Captain of the New<br />
Zealand Boccia team<br />
and is involved in<br />
several other cultural<br />
groups. The Year 13<br />
student and Prefect<br />
plans to study for a double degree in Law<br />
and Maori Indigenous Studies at Canterbury<br />
University, but when he starts will depend<br />
on how long he remains with the Halberg<br />
Foundation.<br />
Physical Education teacher Chris Nielsen was<br />
surprised and honoured by the Woolf Fisher<br />
Fellowship award. This fellowship was designed<br />
to send leading educators overseas to examine<br />
different teaching practices. This fellowship is by<br />
nomination only and a teacher may not apply.<br />
The fellowship was established to reward<br />
educational excellence in teaching and was a<br />
total surprise to Mr. Nielsen.<br />
“I was honoured to be selected and chose to<br />
travel to Australia and learn from five schools in<br />
Brisbane and Adelaide regarding their history<br />
of excelling in sport, specifically Volleyball,<br />
which is my passion. What we discussed is the<br />
importance of all parties involved finding value<br />
within a program. Starting from the government<br />
on down, to faculty, parents, students and<br />
athletes, identify “value” on the time and money<br />
XLAb WINNeR WILL HeAd TO GeRmANy<br />

TOP TALENT: Halswell basketball referee Brad Clive hopes his can make the Australian NBL<br />
one day.<br />
A wonder with the whistle<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
HALSWELL basketball referee<br />
Brad Clive is fast forging a career<br />
with the whistle.<br />
The 17-year-old St Thomas’<br />
student has just returned<br />
from refereeing the women’s<br />
under-<strong>19</strong> national final, and is<br />
the youngest referee on the panel<br />
for the New Zealand women’s<br />
basketball championship.<br />
Brad first took up the whistle at<br />
age 11 at Pioneer Stadium.<br />
Since then he has officiated the<br />
national finals of all age-groups<br />
from under-15 through to under-<br />
23s.<br />
“I was an average basketballer<br />
and I still play socially, but I<br />
wanted to find another way to<br />
stay in the game,” he said.<br />
“So in 2011, I refereed my first<br />
year 5 and 6 game at Pioneer<br />
Stadium and I’ve loved it ever<br />
since.<br />
“I think (referee manager Carol<br />
SPORTS<br />
Bathurst) was nervous at putting<br />
me in there because of my age<br />
but it went well.”<br />
Brad said he loved the role and<br />
enjoyed the interpersonal skills<br />
he had learnt.<br />
“Going away to tournaments<br />
and hanging out with other<br />
referees was something that I’ve<br />
always enjoyed,” he said.<br />
“Basketball is one of those<br />
sports where you are always<br />
talking to coaches or players<br />
during the game and that helps<br />
me be accountable for the calls I<br />
make.”<br />
Brad said as he moved up the<br />
ranks and the age groups, he<br />
understood player respect would<br />
have to be earned, especially with<br />
his youthful appearance.<br />
“It comes in time, people think<br />
they’re in the right, but I always<br />
want to be able to justify my<br />
calls if they ask me about it,” he<br />
said.<br />
“It’s important to have a good<br />
feel for the game and understand<br />
what players are trying to achieve<br />
in each play.<br />
Brad said he would like to<br />
officiate in the Australian<br />
National Basketball League in<br />
the near future.<br />
“You always look up to peers<br />
and for me that’s guys like<br />
Matt Bathurst who has been<br />
NBL referee of the year the past<br />
two years and he’s been super<br />
valuable to me.<br />
“There’s also guys like Marty<br />
Davison who have helped me a<br />
lot.”<br />
Brad said he’d like to juggle his<br />
studies and his flourishing career<br />
next year.<br />

HALSWELL’S Willy Silcock<br />
will be part of the New Zealand<br />
team heading to the beach<br />
handball world championships<br />
in Russia next month.<br />
The 27-year-old is one of two<br />
Cantabrians in the squad which<br />
will compete in the top flight<br />
tournament for the first time.<br />
Spreydon’s Peter Ellis will<br />
also be part of the squad after<br />
they received the lone wildcard<br />
spot in the 32-team tournament<br />
which will be played from July<br />
24-29.<br />
It will be the first time New<br />
Zealand has been at a major<br />
international beach handball<br />
event and while they have no<br />
expectations, they aren’t going<br />
over there to be easy-beats.<br />
“We aren’t sure what to expect,<br />
but that goes for our opposition<br />
as well,” Silcock said.<br />
New Zealand will be in a<br />
pool with Spain, Hungary and<br />
Vietnam.<br />
Spain is seeded fourth, Hungary<br />
sixth and Vietnam 10th.<br />
Silcock said two victories<br />
could see them really push for<br />
a play-off spot and he thought<br />
Vietnam and Hungary were<br />
two games worth targeting.<br />
Silcock and Ellis train together<br />
three times a week, but with<br />
the other eight national team<br />
members based in the North<br />
Island, time as a squad is rare.<br />
Silcock said he fell in love<br />
with the game while at St Bede’s<br />
College.<br />
“For me, I loved the athleticim<br />
required and the<br />
explosiveness of the movement.<br />
It has very similar rules to<br />
water polo and New Zealand is<br />

Physical Sense Supports<br />
Senior Well-being<br />
SPECIAL SUPER GOLD CARD OFFER<br />
tEN yEars ago, the Physical sense<br />
Gym and Physio in sydenham, created<br />
a program to help stroke survivors.<br />
Their specialised exercise program was<br />
established to work in collaboration with<br />
the Burwood stroke rehabilitation team.<br />
Participants raved so much about the<br />
classes and the benefits they experienced<br />
from this exercise program that it has<br />
now grown from one weekly class to four<br />
weekly classes. New classes have also been<br />
added to be effective for those who have<br />
suffered from Osteoporosis, Intermittent<br />
Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of<br />
that they also run four weekly classes<br />
for seniors. These weekly rehabilitation<br />
and injury prevention classes can lead to<br />
continued gym membership at a reduced<br />
cost. Participants may also be eligible for<br />
a WINZ subsidy to pay for the continued<br />
gym membership with their super<br />
Gold card.<br />
Physical sense’s latest initiative is the<br />
“Centre for senior Wellbeing”. Here you<br />
can get all the information needed to make<br />
sure that you (or your parents) can keep<br />
on living independently. It is a “walkin”<br />
information centre where the staff<br />
are happy to connect you to the services<br />
you need to; -prevent falling, -make<br />
adjustments to home and surroundings,<br />
-reduce pain, -stay mobile, -care for your<br />
feet.<br />
Join one of the classes and increase your<br />
strength and mobility or just come in to<br />
find out more about what assistance is<br />
available for you.<br />
One class participant Margie said. “I<br />
can’t say enough about them. I think<br />
they are absolutely marvelous, very<br />
patient, great sense of humour, very<br />
supportive”. Not only are you supported<br />
by the knowledgeable, well trained<br />
staff, but you will make new friends<br />
and enjoy participants with a positive,<br />
“can-do” attitude. These classmates are<br />
there for themselves but also to support<br />
members in their class to be able to have<br />
Physical Sense’s latest initiative is<br />

an experienced physiotherapist will assess<br />
your situation and advise you on the<br />
most appropriate exercise group all with<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Supporting Your<br />
Bowel & Digestive<br />
Function Helps<br />
Prevent Disease<br />
It is most important to keep the whole<br />
digestive & elimination systems of the<br />
body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins<br />
that have not been eliminated set the stage<br />
for disease. Many diseases have been linked<br />
with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial<br />
component. Generally these microorganisms<br />
or bacteria can only survive<br />
due to the fact that the environment they<br />
are in is suitable for their survival. Non<br />
eliminated toxins are probably one of the<br />
main causative factors for their survival.<br />
We know that when the digestive system<br />
& bowel function are poor we have many<br />
more health problems. These include<br />
arthritis, digestive problems like reflux &<br />
stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic<br />
skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis &<br />
rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation,<br />
tumors & a weakened immune system just<br />
to name a few.<br />
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />
highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />
support the whole digestive system & it is<br />
especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />
bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds &<br />
influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin<br />
conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary<br />
infections, liver dysfunction, Candida,<br />
weakened immune function & for people<br />
who want to keep their health as good as<br />
possible.<br />
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />
production of digestive fluids & bile for<br />
efficient digestion. This alone may help<br />
prevent many diseases as a properly working<br />
digestive system will itself neutralise many<br />
disease causing organisms before they<br />
have a chance to cause any problems. LBS<br />
II also stimulates peristaltic action of the<br />
colon effectively cleansing the colon of any<br />
accumulated build-ups of waste material. It<br />
also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms,<br />
enhances liver function, purifies the blood,<br />
neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy<br />
intestinal parasites & worms, & fights<br />
infection.<br />
Keeping your digestive system & bowels<br />
functioning efficiently is definitely &<br />
important step in obtaining & maintaining<br />
good long term health.<br />

1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults<br />
& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most<br />
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest<br />
scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &<br />
brain performance. Another study showed that older people with<br />
higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &<br />
score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive<br />
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,<br />
regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &<br />
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor<br />
that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can<br />
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a<br />
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+<br />
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk<br />
of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s<br />
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system<br />
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs<br />
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin<br />
sublingual tablets that are<br />
dissolved in the<br />
mouth & thru<br />
bypassing the<br />
digestive tract have<br />
been shown to<br />
effectively raise B12<br />
levels in the body.<br />

DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS<br />
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.<br />
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.<br />

Fresh air<br />
in your home<br />
Get the right<br />
choice for winter<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<br />
around windows and doors, you want to be<br />
able to control the flow of air. You don’t want<br />
air 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<br />
system: Positive pressure and Balanced<br />
pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the<br />
Dry-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<br />
similar amount of air to the amount they<br />
exhaust. 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 />
Every year around about<br />
now people start to plan<br />
ahead for their winter<br />
heating needs. High on<br />
most people’s ‘must have’<br />
list is a Heat Pump. They<br />
have naturally become<br />
extremely popular because<br />
of their cheap heat and<br />
“touch of a button”<br />
convenience.<br />
Heat pumps are<br />
however a significant,<br />
long term investment, so<br />
it’s important to make the<br />
right choice.<br />
New Zealand properties tend to be of<br />
unique design and have many features that<br />
greatly affect their heating requirements.<br />
Factors such as location, orientation to<br />
the sun, room volume, heat loss surface<br />
area, and room air flow characteristics, etc.<br />
all play a major role. This means that the<br />
heat pump that is right for your friend or<br />
neighbour is not necessarily right for you.<br />
Add to that the fact that all manufacturers<br />
claim to have the best, quietest, most energy<br />
efficient, and have a multitude of constantly<br />
updating models; finding out which heat<br />
pump is best is not so straightforward.<br />
Getting the right heat pump for your<br />
home is a combination of accurate<br />
calculation of the space to be heated, taking<br />
into account all property characteristic,<br />
plus an up to date knowledge of the<br />
performance specifications of all makes<br />
and models available.<br />
This is where the local company Heat<br />
Pump Guys can help. They are fully<br />
independent heat pump specialists, and are<br />
accredited agents for all top brands. They<br />
offer an obligation-free home survey and<br />
completely unbiased advice on which heat<br />

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

he first time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand<br />
new home, I was shocked. How could this be? The<br />
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our<br />
home to be well insulated against Canterbury’s<br />
cold winters. Turns out, not well enough. We’d<br />
even assured a well-meaning friend we had ample<br />
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we<br />
fell short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected<br />
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little<br />
Port Hills site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.<br />
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bought them and<br />
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to<br />
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to<br />
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our<br />
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried<br />
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it<br />
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s<br />
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that<br />
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New<br />
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to<br />
cut it in our climate.<br />
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve<br />
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up<br />
the insulation. Julie Villard, an architect from France, is on a mission<br />
to transform building best practice here and you can read about the<br />
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on<br />
page 20.<br />
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home<br />
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would<br />
relish doing it again. I was struck by how all the home owners said<br />
what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to<br />
“really listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how<br />
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas<br />
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and<br />
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.<br />
We review all the latest trends in everyone’s favourite room –<br />
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for<br />
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.<br />
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,<br />
collected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!<br />
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke<br />
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death<br />
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build<br />
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to<br />
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just<br />
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ll prove that it can<br />
be done, and it might be the last thing I prove.”<br />
