Senior Sergeant Stills said at rush hour a glut of drivers covering the lane markings made things difficult. He said he often saw dangerous driving.

Bid to improve mall parking BY GABRIELLE STUART

Parking is becoming a problem at The Hub Hornby, and developers of new shopping areas are predicting customer numbers to grow. The Hornby Working Men’s Club has recently announced they are working on a new development on land behind the mall. Anytime Fitness, The Baby Factory, Bed Bath & Beyond and Toyworld have already signed up to lease space in the new development. Meanwhile, expansion is also under way inside the mall.

The existing Farmers store in the mall is set to more than triple in size, while a new food court and space for new shops will also be opened. Mall manager, Colliers International retail director Evan Harris, said parking had already become a problem. He said there were usually spaces available at the rooftop car park, but people often chose to circle the bottom car parks instead, which caused congestion. He said the developments would include extending the rooftop car park to provide about 300 new car parks.

But Hornby Working Men’s Club general manager Daniel Ferguson said rooftop parking had been rejected as an option for their development because it was not well used. “We have looked at rooftop parking, but the cost was prohibitive and at the moment it does not seem to be well used at the mall.” Mr Harris said that the mall planned to improve access to the centre from the rooftop car park, and he believed that would improve people’s use of it. “Hopefully the new car park will become the park of choice for our shoppers.”

No delay to cycleway plans BY GABRIELLE STUART

Construction of the Uni-Cycle cycleway is expected to start in November, after a bid to delay the project failed. The planned cycleway will run from Canterbury University to the city, and is the first of the 13 major routes in the $68.3 million city council cycleway network. Representatives from Christchurch Girls’ High School and the Ministry of Education asked the city council on Thursday to delay finalising plans for the cycleway by up to three months. The school wanted to finalise its own plans for rebuilding and extending earthquake-damaged buildings before work on the cycleway started. Their plans involved buying parts of Matai St, which would require the street to be closed to traffic or reduced to one lane. But city council staff said that would not be possible, because of the amount of traffic using the street and because there were residents living on the street who needed access to their homes. Resource Management Group consultant Darryl Millar, who represented the school at the meeting, said extending into the street was the only option for the school.

around alternatives, but I’m not happy to delay these cycleways, now, or later, or at any time.” City councillor Phil Clearwater agreed. “There’s huge traffic congestion problems on Riccarton Rd, and the cycleway here will make travelling to school safer for cyclists. We cannot possibly delay this.” School board of trustees chairman Mike Lay said that the school fully supported the concept of the cycleway. But he said that the proposed changes at the school, particularly around the entrances and exits, could cause safety issues for cyclists using the new cycleway. He said that the school would go ahead with its plans. “We’ll just have to proceed with our planning, and should there be a change in entrances and exits the council will have to understand that it may compromise the cycleway – and we don’t want that to happen.” City councillor Yani Johanson said the council needed to make sure that staff continued to work with the school. He recommended that a group be set up to work with the Ministry of Education around the redevelopment of Christchurch Girls’ High School and other schools.

On the crest of a wave and carving Artist Bon Suter is about to start work on a giant sculpture near the New Brighton Pier, to mark 100 years since the visit of Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku to the area. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about her work across the world, in movies, on people’s feet and on the dunes of New Brighton.

So, tell me what you’re working on at the moment? I’ve got an exhibition I’ll be hanging on Friday, out in Darfield. The exhibition will be a mix of paintings and sculpture. I’ll have five pieces in it from a bit of series, alongside the work of two other artists. Last time we spoke you were looking for an engineer to help with your Duke Kahanamoku wave sculpture. Did you find one? I’m still looking. I have just been ringing the council about it this morning, and I’ve already rang around a few of my friends, but no one seems to know anyone who could do it. Why do you need an engineer to help with this piece? Because it is extremely large, and it’s important that it is completely safe. Have you ever done anything of this scale before? I’ve never done anything this large. It will be 8m long, or maybe

even nine – we have not confirmed yet, because they haven’t yet confirmed the budget. Everything I’ve done so far has been on a volunteer basis. How long have you worked as a sculptor? I’ve been sculpting for around 30 years. It was while I was working on a movie, way back then, that I was inspired to start sculpting. At the beginning I always did a lot of clay work, and I went to a pottery studio at Mt Pleasant to learn how to work clay. It was around that time that limestone came into fashion and I did a symposium focusing on limestone. From then on I have hardly looked back. I love that process of taking away, rather than adding as is done in clay. Since then I’ve done a few ice sculptures, and some work overseas – I was sent with some other artists to our sister city in Adelaide to work on some projects there. I’ve done a few council commissions, including the large koru out the back of Stanmore Rd, which was quite a big challenge. You mentioned that you were working on a movie 30 years ago. What were you doing? My friend, Trixie, was a costume designer and I was her helper. It really wasn’t my thing!

SCULPTED: Artist Bon Suter at her home in South New Brighton, where she has developed a public sculpture garden extending out onto the dunes. So what was it that inspired I stayed for three months. I made you to start sculpting? some amazing friends there who At the time I just wanted to find have remained my friends for life what I was, and what I wanted to – which is why I went to Hawaii do. The movie is called Illustriearlier this year, to create a comous Energy, and in it there were mission for one of my friends. circus scenes with some amazAnd you did some research ing papier mache sculptures. I for the New Brighton sculpture absolutely loved them. I had just while you were there? returned from travelling the world Yes. While I was there I met for about 18 months and, looking with Sandy Hall, who wrote a back at my photos, they were all of book about Duke, and we spent sculptures. the day wandering the parts of Where did you travel? Or Honolulu where he lived, because would it be easier to list where I needed to understand who he you didn’t go? was. There was a sculpture of him Probably. I went all through on the foreshore, and photos of Asia and all through Europe, and him all over the walls of the cafes I came home via Sri Lanka where there. People still put leis on them

in his honour every day. By the end of the day I was madly in love with him, so it worked. Did it change your plans for the sculpture? In some ways. I spent hours down at the beach watching the waves and drawing the waves. I wanted to create a Hawaiian wave, rather than a New Brighton wave, and they are very different. I wanted to capture that blue-green translucence. Now I’m experimenting with how to incorporate glass and fibre optics into the concrete to create that translucence. After all your travel to exotic locations, what is it that keeps you coming back to South New Brighton? I love living in South New Brighton. It’s being beside the beach. I’m a country girl – I grew up in Akaroa – so for me its like heaven, like living out in the country. Sometimes I go for wanders down the beach, and I’m the only one out there. I’ve heard legends of your sculpture garden. How did it start? I was working on some sculptures with a friend, a deaf and blind guy called Donald Gibson. I needed more space for the work, so I asked council if I could use the sand dunes opposite my house. Since then I got several wellknown sculptures from across the country, and one English man too, to create sculptures there, and I’ve developed a garden around them.

out a reputation Do you get a lot of visitors stop by to see it? I do get quite a lot, mainly overseas visitors. Because I’ve chosen to live in south New Brighton, it’s the road to nowhere really, not many people come down this way. So it’s mostly tourists. If you weren’t an artist, what would you be doing? I would still be working as a reflexologist, or I do like working with people with disabilities as well. I worked for a few years in nursing, but at that stage I had three little children, so I left nursing and studied alternative health. I started a clinic and worked for several years as a reflexologist, but I was the only one at that stage and I had so many people coming to me that I burnt myself out. So I decided to massage stone, not people’s feet! Do you think you’d ever go back to it? No. I still do it for free for my friends sometimes if they have something ailing them. There’s always been that stereotype of the starving artist – how difficult is it to actually make a living from your work? It’s very hard. You never ever get paid enough for the hours you put in to a piece. I’ve already put in about 100 hours for this wave, which I won’t be paid for, and I’ve spent a fair amount on materials. It will probably cost me more than I will get back.

Meet Megan all stayed so close? It think it’s just really nice to be so close to family, and it’s a beautiful place to live. What are your favourite things to do in your free time – if you have free time. I love walking. I love tramping and going out into the bush, and I love wandering the beach. What about music? Is there anything you particularly like to listen to while you work? I usually listen to the national radio programmes to be honest. I quite like classical and blues style, and I went to a concert in Lyttelton the other day which was wonderful – I love to listen to music live. You’ve visited a lot of amazing spots around the world – is there anywhere you would still like to visit? At the top of my bucket list is Istanbul. All of my friends who have been there say it is breathtaking. As far as your work goes, is there anything you would still like to create or achieve? This great big wave that I’ve been commissioned to build is like the ultimate for me. I’m so honoured to be asked to do it, and so happy that I can create something for the community that I love. There are all sorts of challenges to working with concrete, so this stuff really appeals. And it’s a collaborative project, which means I won’t be doing all the back-breaking work on my own.

WHITE STONE: Some of the pieces artist Bon Suter has created from her favourite medium, limestone. So what is it that keeps you working as an artist? The thing I love most is just the fact that I am my own boss and can do my own thing completely. I either do some gardening or get out and work on the sculptures. If it’s a lovely day, there’s nothing better than being out on the dunes. You mentioned your three small children – they can’t be very small anymore. Do they still live nearby?

National candidate ‘All Blacks reserve’ BY GABRIELLE STUART

Wigram electorate candidate Karl Varley compares placing 67th on the National Party list to earning a place on the All Blacks benches. Even if he did not make it to Parliament, he said he felt honoured to be named on the list. “Would you complain about being named a reserve on the All Blacks bench?” The businesses strategist was 75th on the National Party list for the 2011 election. That year he was involved with Christchurch Central MP Nicky Wagner’s election campaign as the electorate chair, but this will be the first time he has campaigned for an electorate seat. He will be up against current Wigram MP Megan Woods, who won the seat by 1500 votes in 2011. Mr Varley believed it would be difficult to win the seat. But he said he planned a longterm campaign for the electorate, and would be back at the next election if he did not win the seat. “For a business, you map out goals for the next 20 years, because if you know where you want to go you’re far more likely to get there. That’s certainly the plan with Wigram.” Mr Varley comes from a background in business strategy, and has built up several businesses as an entrepreneur.

Former principal turns to politics for education reform REBECCA JOHNSON

STRATEGICALLY PLANNING: Karl Varley with sons Jonny, one, and Sam, 14, has a long-term campaign planned for the electorate. often the last to get paid if things were tight. But they were treated like they were rich, and taxed more. It seemed counterproductive to me.” He said that his goal in politics was to put good systems in place to make things easier for people. He said his three main motivations were the rebuild of Christchurch, developing “what could be, not what was”; to make New Zealand a better place for families; and to make the country a better place for his sons. Mr Varley is currently living in Northwood with his partner, Sonia, and his sons, who are now aged one and 14. He fits his campaigning around his work as a business strategist, speaking at business seminars around the country.

He grew up near Wanaka, and said he had to borrow money from his brother for a bus ticket to Christchurch when he was 17. Within 10 years he had started several businesses and built them into multi-million dollar companies. At the age of 28 his first son was born, and he gave up work for a year to stay at home with his son. “At that stage I was often working 80 hours a week, and I realised I was missing out on my son. So I sold out of the business.” He said that was when he became interested in politics, as he began developing systems to help businesses run smoothly without so much time being involved. “From my experience it was the business owners who worked hardest and took the risks, and they were

The principal of a school closed in recent Ministry of Education cutbacks has taken to politics in a bid to reform education. A year after Branston Intermediate School in Hornby was closed by the Ministry of Education, former principal Jennifer O’Leary is working as a volunteer for the Labour Party. She said her experience spurred her to help reform education in an area still recovering from Education Minister Hekia Parata’s decision. “I feel a sense of relief to retire, yet a sense of uncertainty at the current state of education in the hands of the right wing party,” she said. “The damage done is irreparable and after six years in power [for the National Party] I feel it is time for a change.” News of Branston Intermediate’s closure came as a shock to parents, staff and members of the community. Before Mrs O’Leary heard the news, she thought she still had at least two or three more

years left in the role before retirement. Although she said she was “apolitical,” she turned to politics shortly after the closure to support Wigram MP Megan Woods. She said Dr Woods was a “voice of the people” in Parliament last year. Mrs O’ Leary has no previous work in politics, but the goal of working towards a better education system is nothing new. She said the transition from principal to advocate was an easy process. “I use to be in a position where I gave all of the orders, but now I am in a setting where I am the one being told what to do. It’s kind of nice,” she said. “My role includes doing office work that I used to have others do for me when I was a principal. I also attend meetings and get training for future events such as the upcoming election.” One of her roles she is currently training for is delivering voting ballots to people who cannot make it to the polling stations on election day.

he Salvation Army’s Family Store in Hornby is celebrating its first birthday this month.

Since opening on August 12, 2013, the store has drawn increasing numbers of shoppers, who flock there both for the wide selection of quality merchandise and the attractive way the stock is presented. “The feedback from customers to what we are doing has been 100 per cent positive,” store manager Terry Murray says. “The customers absolutely love it.” Since opening, the store has been expanded with 50 sqm of extra space, and whatever people are looking for, they are almost certain to find it on the shelves and racks. Everything from clothing, shoes, handbags, books, CDs and DVDs, to all types of linen, furniture, electrical goods, kitchen utensils, crockery, toys and general bric-abrac is on display. Customers come not only from the surrounding areas, but also from other parts of the city.

“The word is getting out there that this is the store to come to. It’s a destination store for people from further away, and that’s very encouraging for us,” Terry says. Terry and the staff welcome customers to come to the fresh, modern store and enjoy the experience. “We are convinced after your visit you will become a regular,” Terry says. The Hornby Salvation Army Family Store is located on the corner of Shands and Amyes roads, close to Dressmart, with plenty of offstreet parking available. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm and Saturday 9.30am to 1.30pm. Phone 349-4163. Donations of quality second-hand items are welcomed at the shop or can be collected by truck. Volunteers are also invited to join the team.

Lifting the flavour of lamb

Slow-roasted Middle Eastern-style lamb leg

Lamb roasted with kaffir lime leaves and garlic

Beautifully slow-roasted lamb is a delight to share with family or dinner guests. Serve with flat bread moistened with a little harissa sauce or drizzle it over the lamb for some extra flavour. It keeps well in the refrigerator.

Kaffir lime leaves are available from the herb section of supermarkets. Serve with a pinot noir.

Lamb

4 Tbsp Olive oil 1 Leg of lamb 3 cm Fresh ginger, crushed 3 cloves Garlic, crushed 1 Lemon, rind and juice 1 bunch Fresh coriander, chopped 2 cups Water 20g Harissa paste 1 Tbsp Olive oil

Spice mix

Directions

1 tsp Ground cloves 2 tsp Black pepper 1 tsp Fennel seeds 2 tsp Ground cumin 1 tsp Ground cinnamon 1 Tbsp Paprika 1 tsp Salt

Salad and sauce

2 Lebanese cucumber 1 cup Plain unsweetened yoghurt 1 tsp Flaky sea salt 1 cup Mint leaves 2 tsp Sumac powder 120g Tomatoes, chopped 20g Tomato paste

Score the surface of the lamb with a sharp knife, making 2cm slits in the fat and skin. Put the ginger, garlic, coriander, lemon rind and juice and oil in a small bowl and mix well. Add the spice mix ingredients and stir in. Rub the marinade over the surface of the lamb, working it into the cuts. Leave it at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate overnight so the flavours are absorbed. Preheat the oven to 150 deg C. Put the lamb into a roasting pan with 2 cups of water, cover with foil, then roast for about 3½ hours or until the meat is very tender. Baste often with the liquid in the pan. Remove the foil, then increase the heat a little

for 20-30 minutes so the skin becomes crisp. Remove from the oven and rest the meat before slicing. Serve with Middle Eastern-style flat bread and the accompaniments listed below.

Cucumber, mint and yoghurt salad

Peel the cucumber lightly and cut into thin strips. Place these in a small serving bowl and toss well with the yoghurt and salt. Add the mint leaves and gently toss through so that they are just mixed but not drowned by the yoghurt. Sprinkle the sumac over the top and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Tomato and harissa sauce

Combine the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, harissa paste, tablespoon of olive oil and salt.

1.2kg lamb leg 4 large kaffir lime leaves 8 large cloves garlic, halved lengthwise Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Thai-style mint sauce: ¼ cup rice vinegar 2 tbsp each: palm or brown sugar, rice bran oil 1 tbsp fish sauce Grated rind and juice 1 lime 2-3 red chillies, seeded and thinly sliced 1 and ½ cups mint leaves, sliced Preheat oven to 160 deg C. Make slits in lamb leg large enough to hold lime leaves and garlic cloves. Remove central vein from lime leaves. Divide leaves so you have four portions from each leaf. Insert in slits together with garlic cloves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast lamb for about 30 minutes per 500g. Tent with foil and cover with a thick towel. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. To make the sauce, whisk sugar with all liquid ingredients. Add chillies and mint leaves. Serve at room temperature. Serves 6

town University and the University of Washington examined the relationship between energy patterns and ethics. They focused on the human circadian rhythm, or body clock, which controls wakefulness and sleep and varies across individuals, meaning that some people naturally rise early, while others prefer to stay up late. One part of the study was a dice-rolling test, which took place either early in the morning (7 to 8.30) or late at night (midnight to 1.30). The participants were asked to roll the dice

Don’t trust a “morning person” in the evening because people who are perky in the early hours are more likely to be dishonest later in the day, researchers say. Psychologists from three United States universities studying how the internal body clocks of humans influence their ethical choices found that when a person’s energy levels are depleted they find it harder to resist dishonourable temptations. The converse is true of “night owls”, who are more likely to behave unethically in the morning. The study, titled The Morality of Larks and Owls, examined the behaviour of 200 people who were given problem-solving tests and games to complete at different times of day without being told that the scientists were actually studying their honesty. Building on previous research suggesting people become more unethical as the day wears on, the researchers from Johns Hopkins University, George-

The findings undermined the commonly held idea that early risers are more honest than people who regularly stay up into the early hours. “They cast doubt on the stereotype that evening people are somehow dissolute,” the researchers said. A summary of findings from the study, published in the Harvard Business Review, said: “In contrast to the assumption that good people typically do good things, and bad people do bad things, there is mounting evidence that good people can be unethical and bad people can be ethical, depending on the pressures of the moment.” One of the study’s authors, Sunita Sah of Georgetown University, said the findings had implications for businesses that relied on employees working late night and early morning shifts, as it proved that some people would be better at making decisions at certain times of day than others. The authors also suggested that future research could be carried out to establish whether certain “interventions”, such as a mid-day nap, might redress the balance and make early risers more honest later in the day.

GARDENING

Top tips for pot mix ENERGY-EFFICIENT Is your garden ready for the summer season? A bit of quick colour can do wonders, so fill bowls with flowering plants like petunias, geraniums or lobellias. Container plants are popular but when it comes to potting mix, confusion reigns. Is potting mix really necessary? Won’t soil do the same job? And is it true that potting mix can be dangerous to handle? Here are some answers to these common questions: Why should I use a quality potting mix? A quality potting mix provides the best growing medium for container plants. Quality potting mixes, unlike soil, maintain a proper balance between holding moisture and draining well. This means that plant roots can have access to sufficient water without the risk of drowning or dying from lack of oxygen. Soil, because its texture varies so greatly, isn’t always suitable to use in pots. Potting mixes can be specifically formulated for special purposes and situations. This means you can

COLOUR: Potting mixes can be specifically formulated for special purposes. provide plants with the most suitable conditions for healthy growth. Tips for re-potting Start by watering thoroughly. Invert the pot and carefully remove the plant. Don’t pull it by the stem. Sometimes it helps to roll the pot on its side and squeeze gently to loosen the roots. In extreme cases it may be necessary to break the old pot or cut it away from the root ball. Remove some of the old potting mix and check the roots for damage or disease. Trim these back to a healthy section. Re-pot into (preferably) a slightly larger pot. Firm into place but don’t press too hard or you’ll risk damaging the roots. Leave at least 2cm of space at the top of the mix for watering. Water thoroughly. This settles the mix into place and removes air pock-

ets. A few weeks later, feed with a fertiliser that suits container plants. Don’t use dry, granular fertilisers – such as rose food – because there’s too great a risk of burning roots. Instead stick to controlled release or liquid plant foods. Is potting mix dangerous? Like soil and organic matter, potting mixes may carry any one of a range of beneficial or harmful bacteria. To avoid problems it’s best to follow some simple precautions when handling any of these materials. Keep potting mix moist, avoid breathing dust from potting mix, wear gloves and, most importantly, wash your hands with soap and water when you’ve finished potting, or working with soil or organic matter. •More gardening, page 22

Magnificent magnolias

Fitzgerald Motors PHONE 03 349 7813 2/193 Waterloo road, Hornby

Late winter is the season when deciduous magnolias are at their best. August seems to force these gorgeous flowers to open in a rush. The breathtaking sight of the large, tulip-like blooms perching on bare branches can send passers-by rushing to the nursery to buy something similar. There are dozens of magnolia varieties, and making a choice can be a formidable task. The names are confusing so it’s usually easiest to forget nomenclature and just go for the flower you like most (remembering, of course, to check the ultimate height on the label). Most grow into small trees but, if space is tight, look for one of the shrub-sized star magnolias. Because magnolias come from cool climates with rich, moisture-holding soil, keeping them happy through hot New Zealand summers can be a challenge. It’s important to take the opportunity to improve the soil as much as possible before planting. Choose a spot that gets at least half a day’s sun and is protected from strong winds.

GROUND COVER: Most magnolias grow into small trees. Lastly, spread a layer of organic mulch. This will keep the soil moist and stop competitive grass from growing back over the root area. Once the magnolia is well established you can plant some bulbs around the base to add extra interest in late winter and spring.

Create a planting hole that’s about twice the size of the pot and approximately the same depth. Take the plant out of the pot with care (magnolias hate root disturbance) and sit it into the planting hole. Backfill, then water well to settle everything into place.

Start by clearing grass or ground-covering plants from an area about 1m across, then dig plenty of manure or good compost and some longlasting fertiliser into the soil. Because magnolias hate being dry, it can also be helpful to add some water-storing crystals into the planting area.

Gardener Weekend YOUR WEEKEND

Arborists specialise in the care of individual trees. They are knowledgeable about the needs of trees, and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees. Services an Arborist can Provide: • Pruning: An arborist can determine the type of pruning necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and safety of trees. • Tree Removal: Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. An arborist can help decide whether a tree should be removed. • Emergency Tree Care: An arborist can assist in performing emergency tree care in a safe manner, while reducing further risk of damage to property. • Planting: Some arborists plant trees, and most can recommend species that are appropriate for a particular location. • Plant Health Care: Preventive maintenance helps keep trees in good health while reducing any insect, disease, or site problems.

Exercise can relieve

arthritis pain

re you living with the pain of arthritis? If you are, you may benefit from an exercise programme. Appropriate exercise can result in reduced pain, reduced stiffness, improved function and better overall wellbeing. Arthritis New Zealand offers both land and water-based exercise classes in Christchurch. These are held at various times and venues across the city. An exciting new option is the PEDAL Programme. This joint initiative between Arthritis New Zealand and Sport Canterbury is a an eight-week programme combining stationary cycling and skills for people with arthritis affecting their lower limbs. This free programme commences on Monday, August 4. For further information on any of these exercise programmes, phone 0800 663 463 tollfree, or visit www.arthritis.org.nz. There are 530,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis and it’s one of the leading causes of disability in New Zealand. And while it is certainly true that many older people have arthritis, it is completely misleading to think of arthritis as being an older person’s disease because arthritis can occur to anyone at any age.

Reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease naturally

umerous studies have shown Red Yeast Rice (RYR) extract to be an effective, safer option to maintain healthy cholesterol levels in most people. RYR has long been used in China as a natural preservative, spice and food colouring and is what gives the famous Peking duck its red colour. It has also been used for over a 1000 years as a common Chinese medicine, especially for digestion and healthy blood circulation. Although RYR contains a nutrient called monacolin K that is chemically similar to the man-made chemical used in statin drugs, a main difference is it is a natural substance that the body knows how to handle.

steoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It is also known as degenerative joint disease, and it is characterised by loss of cartilage and joint degeneration causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. An essential building block for cartilage is glucosamine. Healthy joints actually make their own glucosamine, but only produce cartilage when glucosamine is plentiful. Researchers have found taking sufficient glucosamine appears to trigger the joints’ own production of glucosamine and formation of new cartilage in many cases. It has also been shown to reduce pain and increase joint mobility better than taking

Numerous research has shown Red Yeast Rice to be highly effective at supporting healthy cholesterol levels & reducing common heart disease risk factors. - Reduces total serum cholesterol

- Decreases LDL cholesterol

- Increases good HDL cholesterol

- Lowers Lipoprotein (a) (a damaging blood fat)

- Reduces Triglycerides (a major risk factor for heart disease) - Supports healthy blood flow + blood pressure

A Chinese study reported a 40%+ reduction in cardio events & a 32% reduction in deaths after a four year trial of elderly Chinese patients with cardiovascular disease while using Red Yeast Rice. Each high potency one-a-day capsule provides a clinical dosage of Red Yeast Rice + Co-Enzyme Q10 & Hawthorn Berry for added nutritional & cardiovascular benefits.

RYR has been shown to maintain the good HDL cholesterol, while reducing LDL cholesterol but also very effective at reducing triglycerides that have been shown to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Not only this, but RYR has also been shown to lower lipoprotein(a), a damaging blood fat that can have 10 times greater risk factor for cardiovascular disease than high LDL cholesterol. Statins are known to reduce Co-Q10 levels that can cause muscle pain, aching joints, low energy and cardiovascular problems. As a precaution and for extra cardiovascular protection, CO-Q10 is added to RYR formulas.

pharmaceutical pain relievers. Chondroitin sulphate is a natural part of cartilage and connective tissue. Researchers have found if they supply the body with extra chondroitin from shark cartilage, this helps by supplying nutrients for the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue. It acts like a fluid magnet, drawing fluids and nutrients into the cartilage, enabling it to grow and be replaced. Glucosamine and chondroitin in sufficient amounts appear to have a synergistic affect and may speed the formation of new cartilage and connective tissue.

The house consists of 258m2 facing north on a large 766m2 section with school zoning for Christchurch Boys High, St Albans Primary and Heaton Intermediate. Designed for the family with three living spaces, including a home theatre room with surround sound speakers in the ceiling, so it’s just like you’re at the movies!

If you’re out Church Corner way and feeling peckish, call into 10a Yaldhurst Rd and experience some great value, great tasting, Middle Eastern influenced food. The Abrahim’s arrived in Christchurch from Egypt 23 years ago and during this time have owned and operated two well known takeaway restaurants - their current Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis Eat In/Takeaway and their former Edgeware store. Being influenced by a wide mix of civilisations, Egytian cuisine is diverse and it is many of these authentic dishes that the Abrahim’s offer on their new season menu. “When it comes to delicious authentic tasting exotic food we offer many modern menu options, you can rely on Church Corner Mediterranean Style Souvlaki to satisfy your taste buds!” said Mahmoud. “The whole idea behind take away food is that you don't have to do the dishes, and you get a delicious meal for a decent price. We're not trying to change the face of cuisine in Christchurch, we're just delivering satisfying, delicious food that fills your tummy and makes you smile!” And Church Corner Mediterranean Style Souvlaki delivers exactly that! All served with

fresh crisp salad, hommus and three delicious sauces - mains range traditional Souvlaki, Couscous, and Falafel meals through to pasta dishes including Beef Lasagna. Appealing to the sweet tooth is a recently added dessert cabinet. In here you’ll find traditional sweets such as Turkish Delight, Vanilla and Cocoa Halvas (a traditional Middle Eastern fudge), and freshly baked on site, Baklava (a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and honey) and Basbousa (a traditional Somali sweet cake). An ice cream counter has been installed and will open for the summer. For exceptional value, check out their Special Combo Deals. Church Corner Mediterranean Souvlakis is open Monday and Tuesday 4.30pm to 9.30pm and Wednesday through to Sunday from 11am to 10pm. For express service, phone your order through on 341-6700.

New jackets now ready

With the expansion of the school to include Year 7 & 8s this year the Board made the decision to provide uniform to all the junior students and this included a new school jacket (value $130) for all students in Years 7 to 9. The jackets were funded by the Red Cross Earthquake Fund. We have had problems with the manufacturing, but at long last they are ready and our students should stay dry and warm for the remainder of the winter. Pictured are students from 9Mz modelling their new jackets.

Pictured are Shakira Hodgson and Ariana Nutira of 8Ph with an amazing range of goodies. All profits from the market go towards the Year 8 trip to Picton later this year.

Students gain points each term according to how well they manage to live by the Key Competencies of managing themselves, participating, contributing and relating well to others. We know that high points in the Skills for Learning (ISLA) programme point to NCEA success in later years. Pictured at their “well done” morning tea are Haydon Dickie, Campbell Woodward, George Khella, Jack Woodgate and Jack Fisher. Caption
