Football club denied grant for floodlights BY GRACE CABELL

FC Twenty11 has had its application for a grant to repair floodlights at Upper Riccarton Domain turned down. In a joint application with the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board, the football club asked for $2239 to replace underground cables for the floodlights. A final decision regarding the funding was made at the RiccartonWigram Community Board meeting last week. Community board chairman Mike Mora said he was reluctant to deny the grant. “It’s just a matter of the limited funds that we do have in the discretionary response fund. “We do know it’s three to four nights a week now they’ll go

without until they get their lights up, but now it’s summer sport season there will be less need for them,” he said. FC Twenty11 boss Eddie Cropley said even though the soccer season was over, teams were still training for tournaments. “It is what it is, we’ve got various plans. We’ll just box on and work with what we’ve got,” he said. Funding was declined because board members said there were other sources that were more suitable for funding this project. In June, the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board approved a grant of $500 from its 2013-14 discretionary response fund to the club towards the cost of repairs. There is currently $41,197 available in the community board’s 2014-15 discretionary response fund.

Learning centre roading safer BY GRACE CABELL

install the parking restrictions on Montana Ave, outside its premises, to reduce the amount of parents double parking in the area. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman, Mike Mora, said the board agreed to the request of 30 minute parking, but did question whether it should only be 15 minute parking instead. When the Nor’West spoke to Montana Avenue Early Learning Centre manager Yvonne Smith, before the board meeting, she said she was worried about the poten-

An early learning centre in Ilam will now have fewer road safety issues around peak traffic times. The Montana Avenue Early Learning Centre has gained city council approval to have 30 minute parking restrictions in place to provide a safer environment for collecting and retrieving children. The residential road forms the northern edge of Canterbury University. It was requested the city council

tial danger the busy drop-off zone could bring. “Our parents are concerned that we don’t have enough parking. They often have to double park, sometimes they’ve got fines too,” she said. However, this time she declined to comment. In 2012, the community board approved the Ilam Rd crossings project, which included the installation of the first on-road separated cycle facilities along the frontage of the university. The project installation required

the removal of kerb-side parking on Ilam Rd, which meant there was no parking available near the early learning centre. The northern side of Montana Ave had been designated two hour parking and had standard P120 university parking restrictions along its length. The southern side was all-day parking. Both the north and south sides of Montana Ave would usually be parked out during the university year.

Bar owner

Chris ‘Ted’ Casserly, owner of the former Ted’s Bar & Grill in Halswell which was destroyed by fire a year ago, will be boxing in the upcoming Fight for Christchurch 2014 against Winnie Bagoes owner Geoff Cavell to raise money for Cure Kids. Reporter Grace Cabell spoke with him about what has motivated him to fight and how he made the career switch from Pentecostal minister to publican . . . So Chris, I have seen a nickname around, ‘Father Ted’ – what’s the story behind this? Well, before I was a publican, I was a minister for 15 years, a Pentecostal minister. All my mates used to call me Father Chris, till one day I was having a beer with my mate down in Rakaia and someone called me Father Ted, and it has stuck ever since. How did you get into the restaurant game? Is Ted’s the only bar you’ve owned? Yeah, it is. I’ve been involved in the industry for about 15 years. I used to be the manager at The Fitz, Toast Bar at Sol Square, and then my last sort of gig before I bought Ted’s Bar and Grill was as the general manager at Aikmans. How long had you owned Ted’s Bar and Grill before the fire? Just about 12 months. So, you unfortunately lost the bar in a fire, right? Yeah. It was determined as spontaneous combustion, a freak accident. I was pretty gutted when I lost it. I bought out the receivers. We were losing money for the first six months. I refurbished it and put GAME ON: Chris ‘Ted’ Casserly has been putting in the hard yards to come out on about $600,000 into doing that. We were doing very, very well and had turned the top in the Fight for Christchurch 2014.

Yeah, I do at the moment. Have you always lived in Christchurch? Did you grow up here? I was brought up on the mean streets of Aranui. Yeah, I loved it. I went to Aranui High School. I started off at St James Primary School, then Chisnallwood Intermediate then Aranui High School. I see you have some pretty personal motivations for opting into the fight? Yep. I did it for my youngest daughter Courtney, who is 14 now. At the age of two, she was diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, which is basically a cardio jack of the heart. A normal child’s heartbeat turns at 110 beats per minute and hers was at 280. So she was at very high risk of going into cardiac arrest. At the age of five, she had her first heart surgery at Starship in Auckland. They weren’t able to fix the issue because if they did, she would have had a pacemaker.

prepares for battle We think her life would have been considerably reduced having that at such a young age. So a new procedure was developed and at seven years of age she had her second heart surgery and they fixed it. How does she feel about you stepping into the ring? She doesn’t want me to fight! But she’s excited about raising the funds for Cure Kids. It’s very dear to her own heart as well. So have you done much boxing before? When I was 13 I used to box out at a working men’s club but that was a long, long time ago! I’m guessing you’ve been training pretty hard, what have you had to do to prepare? Well, I’m doing six training sessions a week, as well as now I’ve started to do extra swimming and things like that for fitness. I do three personal training sessions and three two-and-a-half hour boxing circuits of sparring each week. How long have you been training? About two months now. So, Chris, are you nervous? Nope! Nah, look, I’m feeling more and more confident each day. My fitness has improved so much, it’s incredible. I was more than 120kg when I started this journey and I’m down to 108kg now. It’s great – I can actually see my toes now!

So do you have a game plan, or is that a secret? Survive! I just want to get out of the ring without Geoff having done too much damage to my pretty face. Once you step foot in that ring there is nowhere to hide. Neither one of us are going to take a step backwards. What do you think about your opponent, what are your chances? I don’t plan on losing. Yeah, I’ll beat him. Geoff ’s a good mate so it makes this whole challenge just that much different. So it’s a bit of a war then, is it? Geoff and I are calling it the battle of the century. Last week Geoff turned 51 and in November I turn 49. So there is a 100 years between us. So what’s your favourite meal? I shouldn’t say pizza, should I? No, my favourite meal would have to be lasagna. I’d like to say I make the best lasagna in the world, but ‘mumma’ at Venuti does. You really can’t beat her lasagna, it’s the best I’ve ever had. Do you have any other children? I’ve got three kids: my son Alex, who is 21, and I think he’s going to be the next New Zealand barista champion. He placed fifth at the nationals this year. Then there is Kimberley, who is 19, and she is doing a degree in medical imaging at CPIT, and then there

How do the kids feel about you fighting? Well, Courtney doesn’t want me to, Kimberley is a bit unsure but my son Alex, well, he just wants to see me get my head knocked off! Do you have anyone in your life that has really inspired you? Inspiration wise, probably for me it would be Nelson Mandela. I think his ability to succeed out of adversity, and no matter what pushed him down he stood up and succeeded. As the saying goes, what does not kill you makes you stronger, and the only time you ever fail is when you refuse to get up. Bit like you will be in the fight

then? Yeah! You won’t keep me down. So Chris, what’s the first thing you would do if you win? First thing I’m going do when I win (is) I am going to have a beer; I have not had a drink in four

weeks. No drinks for me until after the fight. Hopefully I’m going to have that beer with Geoff if he still loves me. Well good luck, Chris, and thanks for speaking with me today.

FIGHT FOR CHRISTCHURCH FACTS n The Fight for Christchurch will take place on Friday November 22, at Horncastle Arena. n One of the top-drawer clashes is expected to be the restaurant war between Geoff Cavell, owner of Winnie Bagoes, and Chris “Ted” Casserly, of Ted’s Bar & Grill. n The duo aims to raise $100,000 for Cure Kids and has raised more than $20,000 already.

n Other fights include Chillingworth Road executive chef and owner Darren Wright facing Ashley Newsome, of MediaWorks. n Other confirmed contenders include: Jono Huntley (Spark), Paul Frewen (Vodafone), Clive Wentworth (Elite Auto Groom), Jono Gallacher (Adgraphix), Lisa Mead (KPMG) and Lana McCarroll (Lane Neave). n Money is being raised for Cure Kids and Ronald McDonald House.

Halswell short on youth facilities as population grows BY GRACE CABELL Huge focus on residential development in Halswell has concerned many about the lack of youth facilities available to support it. At a youth forum set up by the Halswell Youth Network earlier this year, one of the major issues identified was the lack of recreational facilities. Halswell Residents’ Association member David Hawke said he had been battling with the project since 2007. The association had been working alongside youth in the area to develop an outdoor facility. But after a meeting with the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board last week, it seemed the plan may finally gain traction. The group was worried they had missed out on both key site selection and funding opportunities due to a lack of city council support. “The council had done very little in terms of finding a site. The Todd Foundation application just closed end of last month – it would have been an ideal project for both of

Frances has been committed for many years to her musical craft, and will sit her grade eight piano exams later this year. Frances’ long-term goal is to make music her career, either in New Zealand or overseas.

“We asked the kids where they go if they want to meet each other and they said they go to Riccarton mall. It’s a bit distressing that kids have to leave the town to find somewhere to hang out,” she said. “What does that say about our priorities?” She said youth also needed somewhere “where they’re not going to be overrun by adults.” Community board chairman, Mike Mora, said the group was doing a great job consulting youth in the area to see what their needs are and agreed there was an issue. “Oh hell yes. I really do feel sorry for the young people,” he said. Mr Hawke said it was an issue that had been left too long. “If you compare the Halswell population from 2007 to what it is now, it’s enormous. The longer they sit on their hands the more of a problem it will become,” said Mr Hawke. Mr Mora said they were now going to work closely now with young people, city council staff and the board to pin down a suitable location to fulfil their needs.

us, but no site means no project,” he said. At the board meeting Mr Hawke presented ideas for youth community facilities in the area. “I think the council is trying to imagine the new Halswell Library as the ‘youth facility’, which, in my view, is missing the point. “Although the $22 million library is a really welcomed development, librarians usually want to go home. So there is a need for unstructured operations too,” he said. The community board, however, aimed to get a site sorted so non-government funding could begin. Halswell Community Project member Chrys Horn said the board seemed positive but knew they still had a long road ahead. She said she understood the difficult financial situation the city council was in. “But Halswell is growing so fast, and we don’t have a lot here at all for the young people.” She said there was almost no outdoor facilities available in Halswell.

Neighbour helps catch ‘burglars’ BY GABRIELLE STUART

Three men were caught while trying to burgle a house in Cracroft, thanks to the quick actions of a neighbour. The neighbour noticed people acting suspiciously at the property next door on Tuesday afternoon, and phoned the police.

The police went to the house and caught three men, two inside the property and one in a vehicle parked in the driveway. The house appeared to have been ransacked, and a large amount of property was stacked up near the doorway. “Without the neighbour’s input, the men may not have

been caught as quickly as they were,” Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Anderson said. “It’s really good to see members of the community looking out for each other and taking quick positive action by alerting police to anything that is out of the ordinary or suspicious.” Cracroft Residents

Association secretary Rick Bolch said there was a closeknit community in the area, and people looked out for each other. The three men, aged 26, 24 and 23 appeared in the district court last week in relation to the burglary. The investigation into the burglary is still on-going.

Automotive excellence The Bridgestone Tyre Centre and Challenge Service Station in Halswell has been rising to its own challenges recently.

he family owned and operated service station has expanded and is able to offer even more to the local community. Open seven days a week, the team there has an extensive range of services available for both their existing and new customers – you will still get the same great service and competitive prices this trusted family firm prides itself on, supported by the reputation and quality of the Bridgestone and Firestone brands. The business is owned and operated by Graeme Nicholl, whose father and uncle set up over 60 years ago. The operation is

now truly a family affair with son Mark, who has experience as an owner and driver of heavy trucks, recently joining the existing workshop team of exceptionally competent, fully qualified automotive technicians, who are using the very latest electronic diagnostic equipment on late model European, Japanese and Korean vehicles. They specialise in Warrant of Fitness checking, preventive maintenance servicing, cambelt and constant velocity joint maintenance. With three bays and technicians on site, they are able to offer all the usual automotive repairs as well as servicing and Warrants of Fitness.

Kitted out with the latest equipment and fully qualified staff, customers are guaranteed a great job from friendly staff at reasonable rates. Alongside the automotive workshop is the Bridgestone Tyre Centre which provides tyre sales, repairs, fitting and alignments, all with the Bridgestone expectation of quality. They stock a huge range of new Bridgestone and Firestone tyres on site for passenger vehicles, four wheel drives and light trucks at very competitive prices. That means customers are likely to be able to source a replacement tyre ex-stock, rather than

having to wait. Their highly trained staff will carry out an electronic four wheel alignment for you and their competitive pricing means they can always match and often better any competitor price on tyres. Pop in at 345 Halswell Road or ring them on 03 322 7137 (shop/workshop) or on 03 322 1046 ( Bridgestone Tyre Centre).

Centenarian on final journey

BY GABRIELLE STUART

A man who had the rare honour of turning 100 on Christmas Day has died. Noel Allen was well known for his involvement in the community and his sense of humour. He was born on Christmas Day, 1913, in Nelson, the youngest in a family of four children. After starting school in Nelson, his family moved to Palmerston North, then to New Brighton and Linwood. After leaving school, he worked as a messenger boy delivering books by bike for a bookshop, and then became an apprentice motor mechanic. At one stage, he worked for International Harvester, but said he didn’t enjoy this as it was too dirty and greasy. For recreation, he played hockey, went cross-country running and, with Win whom he was to later marry, learned to play Hawaiian guitar. He was always interested in motor bikes and used to take Win riding in his sidecar. Noel and Win married on 16 March 1940, during World War II. Noel enlisted in the Air Force and served as an aircraft mechanic in the Solomon Islands. After the war, Noel joined NAC as an aircraft engineer and worked there until he retired. During that time, NAC merged with TEAL to become Air New Zealand. For many years he biked daily from Avonside to the airport, sometimes falling off his bike on icy winter roads. Noel and Win were the parents of four children who have happy memories of outings to the beach on Sunday afternoons, and camping holidays. On becoming a grandparent, he was a hands-on grandad, taking his grandchildren rowing on the Avon River, or to the park or beach. He had eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

NO SLOWING DOWN: Noel Allen drove from Hamilton to Christchurch in a single day last year, at the age of 99. PHOTO: FIONA THOMAS

In his later years, Noel and Win travelled the country in the various cars he owned. He was known for his Mazda with its Hi D Hi numberplate. Noel and Win made many trips to visit their children in Hamilton, and when Win was no longer able to travel with him, Noel would travel alone, the last time being in October last year when he was aged 99. Noel liked cars and enjoyed driving. He said long-distance driving and crossing on the interisland ferry never fazed him. Noel and Win were actively associated with the Wainoni Methodist Church. As his deafness became more profound, he said he couldn’t hear a word of the Sunday services, but he was seldom absent from his usual seat because he enjoyed the friendship. Associated with the Wainoni Methodist Church is the

Wainoni-Avonside Community Services Trust (WACST) that provides a range of community and social services including Sit & Be Fit in which Noel and Win both participated with enthusiasm. Noel was a popular member at WACST and his birthday became a special occasion at the annual end-of-year celebrations. Trust coordinator Betty Chapman said it had been an honour and a privilege to have known him. “I have only known Noel for 12 and a half years of his long life, but he sure has made a huge impact in my life and I am sure that statement is true for many of us.” Noel spent several months in Burwood Hospital before his death, after falling and injuring himself. The funeral for Noel was held at Harewood Crematorium.

GUARD OF HONOUR: Noel Allen at his 100th birthday celebrations last year. Mayor Lianne Dalziel attended the party, and read congratulatory messages from the Queen, John Key and the Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae.

French flavours in a new bakery and cafe A slice of Parisian-style, fresh-baked ﬂavour has come to Woolston with the opening of Terra Viva Bake in early September.

his delightful bakery and café is located in the back section of the premises formerly occupied by Holy Smoke restaurant, a charming old brick building that provides the perfect setting for a food place with a French flair about it. Terra Viva Bake is the “little sister” of the popular Terra Viva Garden Centre café in

Wairakei Road, where talented baker Jeremy Jaeger spent six years before bringing his passion and skills to the new café. “I have always wanted to have a bakery,” Jeremy says, “and this is an ideal situation because there is plenty of space for baking. It was much more limited at Wairakei Rd.” The open-plan design allows customers to see Jeremy and his assistant baker Anna

Everything is handmade on the premises. Hot and cold drinks include herbal teas, supreme coffee, spritzers and juices. Customers can enjoy their selection in the café, which provides a quiet spot away from the bustle of Ferry Rd, or take items home.

Diminished hearing has a major impact on

quality of life

earing Technology is fully independent and locally owned since its inception 23 years ago, with clinics in Timaru, Christchurch, Auckland and Whangarei. The benefit of this is that they fit clients with hearing devices best for them, not best for the company. What differentiates Hearing Technology from other audiology clinics is the customerfocused service offered. Clients feel safe and supported through diagnosis to make an informed choice. “Our average clientele is 65 years plus. Their visit to the clinic may be their only visit all week,” says John Robertson. “We try and make it special.” Hearing Technology will even pick patients up if they are unable to drive themselves to the clinic, if they live close by. Hearing Technology utilises the latest wax removal technology. Microsuction is less invasive, removing wax by gentle suction as opposed to the traditional method of syringing out with water, which can be very risky. While Hearing Technology offer free hearing checks. They promote full diagnostic checks which are more in-depth, recommended by doctors and ear, nose and throat specialists. This investigates the entire hearing system all the way to the brain, to

determine where hearing loss has occurred and what the best treatment options are. Good funding is available in New Zealand for hearing aids. People with a history of occupational noise exposure can apply to ACC for funding. MOH subsidies of over $1000 are available for everyone else (if fitting both ears). Tinnitus is a traumatic condition for some people. An extremely specialised area most effectively treated by Auckland University in the north, and now Hearing Technology in the South since one of their audiologists extended their training at the University of Auckland clinic last year. Although there is no cure for tinnitus, there are extremely effective methods of managing the condition. The Shirley branch has extended opening hours to late night Tuesday and Saturday. Phone 0800 142 132. Take advantage of Hearing Technology’s promotional offers: Free wax removal for a year or 12 months’ free batteries (for patients who are already aided); save up to $3000 off a set of hearing aids if purchased before Christmas. Conditions apply for these offers. Contact Hearing Technology for details.

At the age of about 40, I developed pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear. About three months ago I developed pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear and the background tinnitus, which I have had since I was 19, also grew significantly louder. This made me deeply depressed. The high pitched pulsatile tinnitus invaded every aspect of my day and intruded into my sleep. Life was hell. I’ve been using Neuromonics now for

about two months. It still causes me some anxiety from time to time but this is usually momentary. Before, my whole focus was on the sound of the tinnitus. Over time this focus hardwires the brain to “hear” the sound. Neuromonics allows the brain to focus on beautiful, soothing sounds; Neuromonics breaks the circuit so that you’re no longer hardwired to hear the tinnitus. - Brett Clark

These bustling street cafés are world-famous for delicious yet inexpensive meals cooked right in front of their hungry customers. Tuk Tuk Thai Takeaway in Hei Hei is bringing the concept of Bangkok street food to the heart of Christchurch. Chef Joy learnt her trade in this busy, historic city, running her own street café catering for locals and tourists. Now she is bringing her mouth-watering recipes to her very own restaurant/takeaway in Christchurch. If you ask Joy what she likes about having her own shop, she will tell you she loves to cook for other people. “It makes me happy that other people like the food I cook, I like to see their smiles,” she will tell you. She is a foodie at heart. Her focus is on good quality food prepared with fresh ingredients, resulting in a menu full of favourites, such as curries and dishes cooked in the wok like pad thai, spicy drunken noodles and chilli and basil stir-fry. The quality of the ingredients shows through with the choice of succulent tiger prawns and crunchy chef-selected vegetables.

It has been 13 years since John Gale took over the Super Cheap Auto Spares shop in Sydenham, and in that time the store, now named Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares, has grown from strength to strength.

hromium is an essential trace mineral with some surprising health benefits and may have the ability to reduce some of the common health concerns as we age and increase lifespan. Chromium helps regulate blood sugar levels and keep them in the normal range. Chromium appears to improve the insulinresponsiveness of the body and enhance the effectiveness of insulin. Chromium deficiency may be an underlying cause or factor in diabetes. Chromium has been shown to reduce major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Men with the highest chromium levels were found to be 41 per cent less likely to experience a heart attack. Chromium helps stimulate muscle growth,

muscle strength and supports fat reduction. A controlled study has shown chromium picolinate to increase brain activity and activate specific regions of the brain improving learning, recall and memory. In another controlled study, laboratory rats that fed chromium picolinate increased their lifespan by 33 per cent. Some studies have shown chromium picolinate to be more beneficial than other types of chromium. It therefore appears that supplementation with chromium picolinate may be a highly beneficial way to improve our health and possibly even lifespan.

hile working as head nurse of Sisters of Providence Hospital in northern Ontario, Rene Caisse was told by a patient how she had cured herself of advanced breast cancer by using a herbal formula given to her by a very old Ojibway Indian medicine man. Rene noted the formula down. A short time later Rene heard her mother’s sister had cancer of the stomach and liver with a maximum of six months to live. Rene made up the herbal formula she had noted down and gave this to her aunt who fully recovered from the cancer and lived for another 21 years. Her aunt’s doctor was so impressed he asked Rene if she could use her herbal remedy with some of his hopeless cancer cases. She did, with some exceptional results reported.

In 1922 at age 33, Rene left the hospital and went to Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, where she began administering the herbal formula, she now called “Essiac TM” (her surname spelt backwards), to all who needed it. Most of her patients were referred by their physicians certifying they had terminal cancers. In many cases, her patients were at the end stage of cancer and many died, but generally they lived longer than predicted, with much less pain and other symptoms. Many however fully recovered with no reoccurrence of the cancer. After Rene Caisse died in 1978, her formula has become available again. Cancer is a serious condition. Natural herbal and nutrition therapy may be highly beneficial. Further information is available at Marshall’s Health and Natural Therapy. Phone 388 5757.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that appears to be below optimum levels in most people, but researchers believe may be vitally important in maintaining good health. Chromium picolinate is highly absorbable as well as generally more beneficial than other types of chromium.

A drug named Perjeta, developed by Swiss giant Roche to treat an aggressive form of breast cancer, has been shown to extend patients’ lives by almost 16 months, researchers say. Patients who took Perjeta in combination with chemotherapy and Roche’s older anti-cancer drug, Herceptin, lived for a median of 56.5 months, compared with 40.8 months for people

not on Perjeta. Adding Perjeta to treatment with Herceptin and chemotherapy resulted in the longest survival observed to date in a clinical study of people with HER2positive metastatic breast cancer, Roche said. The 15.7-month longer survival time marked “a magnitude of improvement we rarely see in clinical trials in advanced cancer”.

The trial involved more than 800 patients with previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. HER2 is a protein that makes breast cancer cells grow. HER2-positive cancer makes up about 15 to 20 per cent of breast cancers, and tends to be more difficult to treat. Metastatic cancer is one that has spread to other parts of the body.

want to take a chromium supplement at lunchtime to reduce the blood sugar peak. I would also suggest if it continues that you should ask your GP or naturopath to test your blood glucose levels (HbA1c) as an initial check for diabetes. This test gives an indication on where your blood sugar levels have been for the past few months. If the results are high they may send you for a follow up test called a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) which

measures your blood sugar levels before, during and after consuming a sugary drink to see how quickly your body can process the sugar. For more information, or to ask questions, visit naturalmeds.co.nz

Thacker has helped implement an enhancedrecovery program at Duke that she says works well, but says she can’t explain which steps are most important or why without research into how they affect such things as the body’s inflammatory response. The Stanford team took an unusually close look at 32 otherwise fairly healthy people who underwent a first-time hip replacement. They took blood

But it makes sense, he added: Inflammatory processes initiate healing but “you have to keep them on a leash and dwindle down efforts,” because too much inflammation harms. The goals are to create a blood test that could tell who is more likely to experience a protracted recovery and to hunt treatments that might alter the immune reaction to help.

Volunteers Needed The Red Cross recovery team couldn’t function without wonderful volunteers who give their time to help people in Christchurch.

Monday October 20 2014

olunteers make a difference every day – from driving a van to simply knocking on doors to see how people are doing. Volunteering is a great way to boost your own wellbeing at the same time as helping your community. Volunteering includes all of the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’: it helps us to connect, be active, take notice, give and keep learning. Red Cross’ Cross Town Shuttle is a volunteer-run service providing transport for people in Christchurch without transport of their own and unable to use public transport. Volunteer drivers and assistants take people to medical appointments and leisure activities, helping to combat social isolation and allow people to continue to lead full lives, regardless of the impact imposed by road works and post-earthquake infrastructure repairs. With plans to expand the service, Red

Cross needs more volunteer drivers and more volunteers to help with community outreach and door-knocking. Red Cross volunteers are a diverse bunch of people who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Before Anthony Seumanutafa was a volunteer on the Cross Town Shuttle, he used the service to help him get across the city. “I find it to be a good way to help and socialise with people, and a way to say thank you to all those for their help – three for the price of one.” This desire to help is what unites volunteers, says Christine Williams, outreach volunteer. “We are able to give time, empathy, a listening ear and often some contact numbers for further assistance to enable the person we visit to continue to move forward.” If you have a little spare time you could give, why not get in touch with New Zealand Red Cross now to find out how you could help make a difference too?

a “cure”—for type-1 diabetes, the researchers believe it could also offer hope for the 10 per cent of type-2 diabetics who have to rely on regular insulin injections.

GARDENING

Do you have a good garden plan? An attractive garden is a dream which requires proper planning and careful nurturing. To create a beautiful landscape around your dream home you need basic garden plans to begin with. These garden plans are generally provided by a professional garden planner or landscape designer. The garden plans can be of many types. You can plan for more than just beautifying your garden, your garden plans can also be made to decide the theme of the garden. Some of the popular garden plans are: •Garden for full sun •Garden for shade •Corner of grasses •Corner of shrubs •Corner of perennials •Island bed •Privacy garden •Fragrant garden •Vegetable garden Garden plans give an aesthetic dimension to the garden along with its basic theme. Colour schemes, quality and variety of plants, height of the plants, border and flooring are done to give the garden its uniqueness.

TRANQUIL: A gazebo in the garden is a great place to unwind. The colour scheme of the garden is created blending the different coloured and textured plants. The plants are also selected according to their height which creates the contour of the garden and the skyline of the garden. Garden plans also include the kind of plants to be used according to the theme chosen. It is very important that the garden plans are both beautiful and emotionally restorative. A garden can provide a visual, perfumed, sound and tactile, sensory experience. The garden design needs to complement the home and connect the interiors with the exter-

nal environment, making the most of the available usable areas. Master planners know that the selection of plants is of equal importance along with their strategic placement on the landscape. Garden plans also include the planning of the garden arborsor gazebo as well as entertaining areas and garden art and furniture. Modular design and a unique frame layout can make a simple garden gazebo. The garden gazebo is the perfect place to relax or to hold family dinners, and other special events. A gazebo in the garden plan ensures a favourite spot to unwind.
