Longer wait for pit decision Residents frustrated after no update given on council action GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING
It could be more than two months until the city council makes a decision on what action will be taken over the controversial Owaka Pit. The abatement notice issued on April 14, 2015, said all medium density fibre had to be removed by April 13, 2016. As of last month only 500.84 tonnes have been removed out of 9000. Residents have become frustrated after expecting to hear an update on the action the city council would take at the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting earlier this month. But they were left disappointed as there was no city council staff member to give an update. Resident Julie Shivas said it was unacceptable and someone from the city council should have been at the meeting. But city council head of regulatory compliance Tracey Western said the delay was because they Alan Edge were commissioning an environmental assessment report. She said the completion of the environment report will guide their next course of action which will take about eight weeks. The pit on Owaka Rd has been a source of contention for years and in 2013 the

MDF spontaneously caught alight taking weeks to contain. Owaka Holdings’ Alan Edge has defended the amount of MDF cleared from the pit after the abatement notice to removed 9000 tonnes expired two weeks ago. Mr Edge said under the circumstance, it had done “extremely well� to remove the amount they have.
He said the 12-month time frame on the abatement notice served on the company by the city council was too short. Mr Edge said it was limited by the number of trucks allowed entry into Kate Valley Landfill each day. “We are still carting it to Kate Valley. We haven’t stopped and we are not going to stop,� he said.
But community board chairman Mike Mora said it was not the board’s problem. Mr Edge had an abatement notice of 12 months. He said the MDF never should have been there in the first place. “There are some limitations I believe but he has had years to get rid of that stuff,� Mr Mora said.

EYESORE: Halswell Domain was hit with another lot of tagging during Anzac weekend.
Halswell Domain hit by taggers GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING
The Halswell Domain has had yet another graffiti attack – this time over Anzac weekend. Tagging is becoming a regular occurrence with 28 incidents at the domain recorded by the city council in the last year. Residents said the public toilets, part of the Canterbury Society of Model and Experimental Engineer’s shed, as well as a contractor’s shed on Halswell Rd, was tagged over the weekend. The debate of a new skate park in Halswell has come
to a head with concerns from residents living nearby that if it is installed anti-social behaviour problems will escalate. But Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora (left) said the tagging and the installation of the skate park are separate issues. “It may de-escalate it – we don’t know,” he said. Mr Mora said the city council will be going around the schools to talk about the issue of graffiti. It was recorded by the city council between April 1, 2015, and April 28, 2016, 28 incidents had occurred at the Halswell Domain involving graffiti. A city council spokeswoman said Intergroup Christchurch

spent the last two days at the Halswell Domain cleaning up the graffiti and a full inspection was carried out April 22 and last Monday. She said a number of tags had appeared over the weekend and have since been removed. Residents say they have been plagued with graffiti on vehicles, fences, footpaths along with damage to property over the past few years. Police are saying while people get prosecuted for tagging, and there is an active community patrol out at the domain which reports to the police, tagging is a community issue. Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said there needs to be more education for parents being

aware about what their children are up to. He said it is also about working with shops in terms of selling sprays or marker pens to young people and ensuring they are for legitimate reasons. “Halswell Domain is not really on our radar – it is a safe place . . . we have got far worse suburbs.” Senior Sergeant Stills said the shrubs and trees around the public toilets could be removed to make the area more visible as well as locking the toilets out of hours could help reduce the problems. • Column, letters over skate park debate, p6-7

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When Trixie Wuts was born her parents had a very difficult decision to make whether or not to amputate both of her legs to the knee. On the advice of medical professionals, Trixie’s parents Anton and Margot Wuts decided amputation was the best solution. Their experience has been documented in a children’s book that they wrote, called Little Jellybean. It is being distributed by the Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland to help families facing a similar choice. The society helped get a $5000 grant for the publishing and distribution of the book from the Artificial Limb Service. Trixie was diagnosed with distal arthrogryposis before she was born, meaning she had crooked or hooked joints in her feet. She had many procedures done when she was born, which attempted to correct the deformities in both ofNEW herLOCATION feet, but they were1 ADVERT.pdf largely unsuccessful.
The surgery however, was and Trixie now “leads a full and active life” with her new feet. Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland president Mark Bruce said the more families that can be reached with the book, the better. “It’s about raising awareness for parents in a situation where their child is very unwell. The story is mainly about the parents having to make an incredibly tough decision to help their children,” he said. Mr Bruce said the book will become an invaluable source for those looking for support. “If you have a young one with an amputation or have a young one about to undergo an amputation then this is a great resource. “The future of the federation is in its youth . . . If we can affect just one family with the help of this book, then it’s been a worthwhile venture,” he said. The society are making copies of the book available from their national and regional coordinators, who can 1/05/2014 11:51:35 a.m. be contacted on www.af.org.nz.

About 190 Canterbury University staff, students and community members joined forces to plant 2000 native trees as part of the nation-wide campaign. The Student Volunteer Army recruited help to plant the trees at Woodend Beach Holiday Park as part of the Serve for NZ campaign it started on the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake. It was started to mobilise people of all ages to contribute one hour of community service and coincided with Anzac Day this year. As of April 23, 4261 individuals have pledged 6249 hours of community service. The tree planting is part of a five-year planting scheme where future forest giants like kahikatea, totara and matai were planted. Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara Trust general manager Greg Byrnes said native trees like kahikatea were the fruit baskets of the forest that reduced soil erosion

and preserved the eco-system. Matai and kahikatea could live beyond 600 years while totara could be around for 2000 years. “We are planting for the millennium,” Byrnes said. Project Crimson Trust do-
nated the trees, SVA legacy project coordinator Shirana Rengasamy said: “It is pretty awesome that we can leave behind something that will continue to grow and be around for future generations.”

My Kitchen Rules NZ contestants take business nationwide GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING
A popular couple who made their mark on the first My Kitchen Rules NZ is taking their healthy food business nationwide. After setting up their own commercial kitchen in Avonhead last year, Jessie Smulders and Ricki-Mae Paisley started Healthkicks, delivering healthy food direct to workplaces in the city. It has been so successful, in June, the couple will take their business national. “People all over New Zealand will be able to get our food which is exciting and scary,” Miss Smulders said. This means any food ordered from Healthkicks will be sent in overnight transport around the country. The couple finished fifth in the show after entering only being confident in making pizza and mac and cheese. To their surprise not only did they make it to the top five,
they won the People’s Choice Award which was $20,000 of Countdown vouchers. “We would never use that for ourselves so we thought why not do something we are passionate about. We have always been passionate about health and fitness,” Miss Smulders said. The talented duo set up their business Healthkicks after living on an unhealthy diet while filming on My Kitchen Rules NZ for four months.
“When we were filming there was nothing we could just grab that was good so we lived on chips and pizza,” Miss Smulders said. The aim behind Healthkicks is to offer healthy, tasty food for people on the run that is affordable. Eventually the couple’s dream is to own their own shop with healthy sweet treats, salads and soups. “We have a bit of a shop front where people can come in and choose their food, it is nothing flash but it is a start,” Miss Smulders said.
SUCCESSFUL: Former New Zealand My Kitchen Rules contestants and partners in real life Jessie Smulders and Ricki-Mae Paisley will take their Healthkicks business nationwide.

Housing subsidy still needed A Government heating and insulation subsidy programme comes to an end in June. Community Energy Action Charitable Trust chief executive Caroline Shone writes this week’s column about the importance of the programme and why it should continue in some form. Shelter is one of the most basic of human needs and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says that everyone has the right to housing. It can be debated that housing that makes people sick, isn’t housing at all. However, houses that are damp, houses that are cold, with the people living in them unable to heat them to an adequate temperature to keep them healthy, are a reality for many households in Christchurch. The old, the young and the sick suffer most in those houses. We all know the result. Every winter sees many residents ending up in hospital with preventable cold-related health issues. Even healthy people get sick more often in those cold, damp houses.
SOAP BOX From experience we know that installing insulation and heating in people’s homes especially those with health conditions will reduce hospitalisations, delivering cost savings to the health system. Installing insulation and heating is a one-off cost but the benefits last a long time, saving money on health and saving lives every year. The Government through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority has spent $450 million nationwide on insulation and heating subsidies over the last couple of years. And we know it has made a difference. The current subsidy programme comes to an end in June this year. It would be fantastic if subsidies would be available in the future for those who need insulation. It’s a great way for Christchurch people to help those in their community who need a bit of help to create a warm, dry, healthy home.
Give the kids a chance
I was surprised at the narrow scope of last week’s Western News article Skate park debate fires up, which talked to four blokes who are dead against having a skate park in the domain and seem to have it in for kids on wheels – unless those wheels are on a miniature train, of course. My reading of the article was that their concern was not so much about a skate park but about the tagging that has been happening around Halswell, and the domain in particular. There are a couple of observations I’d like to make on this. It makes no sense to accuse kids who do not yet use the domain of things that are going on there already. Perhaps it’s the kids who play rugby league, soccer, netball, touch or softball or who ride miniature trains who are doing that tagging, since they are already

using the park. I personally don’t believe this, but it makes more sense to suppose this than to accuse skateboarders rollerbladers, scooterers or stunt cyclists who are not even there yet. For sure, tagging is an issue and people really don’t like it but let’s deal with the tagging as the separate issue that it is. Why blame it on a bunch of kids who couldn’t possibly have done it? I’m sad that we prefer the idea of dismissing local kids with an interest in wheel sports over working together on the problem of tagging. My question is how can we work together to sort out the one or two taggers around the place who are causing the trouble? I’m sure we’re equal to this challenge and that as a community we could come up with some great ideas on how
Kennedys Bush resident Chrys Horn writes that it makes “no sense” to assume graffiti and property damage at Halswell Domain will increase if a proposed skate park goes ahead.

to catch a tagger or perhaps channel their interests into something more constructive. As for noise, all of the potential sites that are being consulted on are well away from private homes so that noise is not an issue. Oddly, where I live, the biggest noise is not go-karters or longboarders speeding past my gate or people talking and shouting in the park next door, but cars driving past my gate. I’m guessing that the most noise for most people living in around parks is actually cars driving past at 50-60km/h. We are a community that has around 4000 children and young people and we need to provide them with spaces and opportunities to develop their social and physical skills. We provide playgrounds and sports grounds so why not a skate park and could we do it please without making these young people feel that they don’t have a place in our community and that they are a lesser, more dangerous species? Most of the young people I know are amazing and many contribute a great deal to this community. I want to live in a community that supports them and offers them opportunities.

Readers respond to the Western News article on residents’ fears that anti-social issues might escalate if a skate park is installed in Halswell Domain: Darryl Clarke: You did a piece in the paper on residents not wanting the skate park in Halswell Domain. Well we agree as on Tuesday night all our cars on the road or driveways on William Brittan Ave got tagged including mine. The walkway next to my house on the path was spray-painted with some very rude words. Kate Cleverly: As a local resident and mother-of-two I am very disappointed to read the one-sided article around the proposed skate and recreation facility for Halswell. I have worked for many years with children and young people in our community and have never found them to be anything less than respectful. The issues raised over the placement of the proposed skate park are biased, judgemental and quite insulting. To suggest that skateboarders are all young boys who are a spray-can wielding social nuisance is quite frankly ridiculous. The skateboarders I know – who range in age from three to 23 and are most definitely both

girls and boys – are far from synonymous with anti-social behaviour. They are kind, caring and respectful young people who just want to do something other than play traditional sports or swing on the swings. Rather than detracting from the domain a carefully planned skate and recreation facility will enhance Halswell, and provide an activity for children like mine who are too old (or just don’t enjoy) to play on the playgrounds or ride on the trains. The domain could become a thriving hub of activity which
really does have something for everyone. I would strongly suggest that those opposed to the facility for reasons such as anti-social behaviour, tagging and noise actually visit a functioning skate park like the one in Prebbleton and, rather than dismiss all young people as delinquent, actually talk to them and ask them for their view and how they might overcome such concerns. I have and I can assure you the last thing they want is that kind of behaviour and they have some great suggestions for making sure it doesn’t happen.
$9m upgrade for special education college Halswell Residential College will be undergoing a $9 million upgrade with construction expected to be completed by January. Four new family-style villas will be built to accommodate up to 32 students. The plan is to replace the institutional-style accommodation blocks and help enhance the school’s education programme. The new redevelopment is designed to have a multi-purpose learning environment allowing students and staff to be together
in a welcoming and multi-functional space. It will include earthquake strengthening of the main school buildings and an upgrade of the carer’s accommodation. Halswell Residential College provides round-the-clock special education for children and young people with complex needs. The plan behind the redevelopment is to strengthen the school’s ability to deliver education for students who need significant curriculum adoption due to an underlying intellectual impairment.

Community plays big role in reducing crime The community has played a key role in the reduction of crime rate in the last five years, police say. The number of burglaries in Riccarton west has decreased by 58 per cent between 2011 and 2015. When the Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing Team began operating in the area in October 2011, the community identified burglary as one of their key issues. In 2008 was the worst year recorded with 130 burglaries. Since 2011, the Neighbourhood Policing team has put in a number of initiatives to reduce crime rate in the area. This has included the establishment of a community garden, an annual community fun day, a weekly community boot camp, a fortnightly community café and a weekly sports afternoon for local children. Street clean-up days have been held, along with studentrun information days and UV property-marking sessions. Landlords in the area have also assisted with distributing information, and community welcome packs are provided to new residents.

Mona Vale in line for award Mona Vale Lodge is one of 35 finalists in the this year’s Canterbury Heritage Awards. The building sustained damage in the February 2011 earthquake predominantly from the collapse of the two masonry chimneys. Repairs to the building were finished two weeks ago at a cost of $589,000. A panel of five judges whittled the list down from 80 entries into six categories – domestic and saved, public realm and saved, outstanding contribution to heritage, seismic, heritage tourism and future heritage. Entries were received from a wide variety of projects, from walking tours and domestic dwellings to furniture restorations and public monuments. Category winners and the supreme overall winner will be announced during a ceremony held at the Christchurch Arts Centre on June 9. Christchurch Heritage Awards Charitable Trust chairwoman Dr Anna Crighton said the judges were incredibly impressed with the standard of entries. “Now that almost half of our built heritage has been demolished, appreciation of what remains is evident.

Foundation Focuses on Fostering youth potential Established 21 years ago by Graeme Dingle and Jo-Anne Wilkinson to motivate and encourage young people to reach their potential, the Foundation for Youth Development has been renamed the Graeme Dingle Foundation. The new name, which took effect in March, recognises the positive contribution Graeme has made to the lives of hundreds of young New Zealanders over the last 45 years. As the Graeme Dingle Foundation regional manager Noeline Allan explains, the organisation works with young people to foster their potential and talent, particularly those who have low self-esteem and low self-efficacy.

Phillip Mitchell
‘Filthy’ work with pipes and plumbing Phillip Mitchell has had his hand in the city’s pipes for half a century. He talks with Matthew Salmons about his life as a plumber, being a tutor and winning the Graeme Victor Smith Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award
AT WORK: Phillip Mitchell has been a plumbing tutor at the Ara Institute of Canterbury for many years. At 73, he is still going strong working three days a week.
Well Phillip, you’re clearly the plumbing master around here, but why did you decide to get into the trade in the first place? My father went with me to a vocational guidance counsellor in the square. The guy that was interviewing me said ‘I know a bloke by the name of Athol Jamieson.’ He knew him on a fairly friendly basis so I went and saw him. He had a fairly large company and said ‘there’s a job there if you want it.’ I’d seen plumbers, we’d not long had the sewerage put on in the house and a flush toilet put in, which you guys would take for granted now. I was fascinated. So I thought ‘it’s not a bad idea’, and that’s what it was. So when did you start your apprenticeship? In the days when I did my apprenticeship, you signed up for what they called a 12,000 hour apprenticeship which equates to six years. In that era, when you
got to your fifth year you could sit your license and if you passed your exam you didn’t have to do your sixth year, so there was a lot of incentive there. In those days it was about five pounds a week which probably equates to, I don’t know, $200 these days. A tradesman now could get about $30 an hour, about $1200 a week, and an apprentice, well they probably get more than $200, so a lot of incentive there to pass. I spent most of my apprenticeship under a guy named Bill Walsh, an Irish plumber, and also with his brother John. They were ship’s plumbers, they were fastidious. If something happened it was either right or it was wrong. And after you finished your apprenticeship did you stay with the same company? No, after I finished I left plumbing for a wee while and I did quantity surveying. It was a very good experience and I was fortunate that I had the trades experience to do it. It was very
enjoyable. Did you work on any big projects? I did, it was Wilkins and Davies I was working for at the time. The buildings at Canterbury University were being built then, and we worked on them. That was straight out of my apprenticeship, so when I left that I went to learn about drain laying. I’ve always enjoyed drain laying. When you’re doing it, you feel like you’ve achieved more than you would working in a bathroom. I did that for the best part of a year, then I put the sewerage into John Walsh’s house. That was the practical part of my exam. I started working for a drain laying firm then, but they went out of business, so at about 23 I started working for myself. You knew nothing then, but that was beside the point because you thought you did and you had to get experience the hard way. So I was working for myself for a while and I was doing some tutoring at night. When you’re tutoring and still in the trades, to the students, you’re still a plumber. Working full time and tutoring at nights, it must’ve taken a toll on your social life? I was young, I was only about

option of using land and facilities on the Biological Husbandry Unit (BHU) Farm to grow and sell their own certified produce – a semicommercial venture that gives students a real taste of organic horticulture as a business. The students grow vegetables under the guidance of a mentor and sell them at a weekly stall at Lincoln University students experience in a commercial environment without any risk. It’s the icing on the cake for a lot of the students here,” says Bill Martin. As well as the year-long organic horticulture courses a distance (correspondence) programme in organics is also available. The Organic Training College is located at the Biological Husbandry Unit at Lincoln University. There are 10 hectares of certified organic land as well as greenhouses, tunnel houses and research areas.

still enjoyable after more than 50 years 27 when I finished that and when you’re young you could burn the candle at both ends a bit. Where did you do your tutoring? In town, it was called Christchurch Technical College then - it has had about three name changes since then. It was only one night a week at that stage. That was about 1969, then me and another guy started commercial drain laying. We had a lot of fun, we did all of the drainage at QE II which was a monstrous job, but we just got stuck in and got on with it. We were young and wishful, ‘of course we can bloody well do it.’ Far out, was it only you two doing the job? No, we had 10 staff on. We updated the Kaiapoi sewerage plant as well. It was physical, hard work but enjoyable. You were outside all the time. Sometimes you wore yourself out, but that’s just life. We formed a partnership called Mitchell and Rodgers. You used to be filthy everyday, but that’s part of your life and you hope that you can look back on your life and have enjoyed it. How did it feel to receive that award? I thought why me? I’d started in 2005 with just me, with an-
other tutor joining in 2006 and another in 2007. We now have eight, virtually a new tutor every year. We do work for the Schools Organisation and Ara managed apprenticeships in plumbing and gas fitting. We’ve grown and grown, I have to ask myself, is this real? It’s been an absolutely fantastic journey building this thing, I have had some really great support, and I didn’t do it alone by any stretch of the imagination. I’m putting back what I got out of the industry. The biggest thing for me is the recognition of offsite job training. Having been in the industry so long, what sort of changes have you seen? Basically, when I started there was a horrendous amount of lead; it was the material of the time for waste pipes, sewer pipes and roof flashings. I only know of two plumbers who got lead poisoning. After that, it graduated to Copper. Copper’s priced itself out of the market now, but it’s a marvellous material to work with. We used to have to fabricate everything, but now it’s plastic and made fit for purpose. The skill sets have changed due to the change of materials. And your family has been
supportive for all this time, tutoring and working? I could never have done it without the support of my wife, Beth, she’s always worked in the background. Where did you meet your wife? Through one of my cousins, she was a friend of hers, they bought us together, many years ago now but that’s alright. We went to the pictures, the usual courting thing, it was different then than it is today, 6 o’clock closing, it was the 6 o’clock swill. We went to dances and the pictures, things like that, nothing out of the ordinary. Where did you grow up? In Marshland Rd, bottom end, so I’m not very far from home. There wasn’t many houses. We were in one of the houses at the bottom end. It was still basically farmlands, was still in the country then. Shirley Lodge it was called then, I don’t know what it’s called now, we were midway between that and Shirley Rd, but we still lived in the country. And where did you go to school? Shirley Primary of course, my great-grandparents on one side took up land on the side of Marshland Rd, so it was pretty

family orientated from there. Every kid’s good at school, I was just an average kid at school. I didn’t excel at anything. My mother would’ve thought I was outstanding. Has your passion for plumbing been passed on to your kids? No, I’ve got two daughters and one grandson who is 32. I used to take him on work experience, he enjoyed it, and he could’ve done it blind, but he said there was too much to learn. But for the students, I’ve chosen my path, I have to sell them the industry. I have to tell them the pluses and the fun they’ll have on the
journey. You go to work for fun, if you don’t enjoy your work, get another job! I’ve got to be passionate about the industry. Not looking at retirement? Well, I’m only working three days a week, I treat it as a hobby now, not a job. I’m going to be 74 in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have to sooner or later, but I’m still enjoying it. You’ve got to look at it and say ‘well, I better pull back’. It’s such a privilege to see it working so well. Me getting the award was a positive for Ara Institute of Canterbury, showing that tutors and support staff are readily available to keep things moving forward.

were built in 1964 and up until the upgrade they were in “a pretty sorry state,” said general manager Sam Bunn said. The changes took about two months to be upgraded with donations from Asia Pacific Football Academy Andy and Jane Smith who supplied the joinery at a reduced rate. President James Maguire said he was very proud of the new changing room facilities He said the generous input of a small band of volunteers led by longstanding player and member Gordan Murdoch made
the new changing rooms possible. “This upgrade represents the start of our ongoing work to refresh and update our facilities as we look forward to the next 50 years of Halswell Football,” he said.

There was a large prize table as well as dozen of raffle prizes meaning just about everyone went home with something.
As well as the prizes, a lunch was put on by the Hornby Branch of Citizens Advice members. Rotary club of Hornby member Mr Thompson said the club wanted to thank the golf tournament’s principal sponsor Ravensdown which has contributed its support for many years. “To our other sponsors, without your support we could not raise the kind of money we need to carry on the work we do in our community and throughout the world,” he said.

hy put up with broken sleep, when help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and dry and raw throats. Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for comfort, and a follow up service is provided. Denise Lim has been involved with Snores for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate with people using the appliance. Snoring can be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea, where the person actually stops breathing for short periods.
It can cause short-term memory loss, tiredness and contribute to high blood pressure. The Snorex device does not feel restrictive, is non-invasive and carries a money-back guarantee. Many people are referred by ear, nose and throat specialists, however, anyone can phone for an appointment. For an information pack or to discuss the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on 383 0994 or check out the website www.snorex.co.nz

ondering what to buy Mum when a box of chocolates or hand-cream won’t do another year round? A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me a new idea. When many of our mothers are feeling the ache of ageing limbs, or suffer with chronic pain or circulatory problems, Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to fit your pocket, simple in concept, easy to use and acclaimed by a growing number of users in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an envelope if Mum lives a distance away. For painful hands, feet or legs this small therapeutic device is used when sitting, most effective when used in several short spells a day - no need for long tough workouts. Jenny says, “Many delighted people report that it helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know that regular use while sitting watching TV can begin the progress of stronger legs, better balance, comfortable walking and freedom from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage a range of health conditions – it offers relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost anywhere. Jenny showed me some of the many grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle users have spent heavily on medications and therapy before discovering this simple effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “News is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we still have a way to go.” Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well

uch of this nursing care and support has been in the community so people can stay in their own homes and retain as much independence as possible. Every year millions of kilometres are clocked up as nurses and home support workers cross the Canterbury region providing personal, domestic, nursing and specialist palliative care. “All the nursing and homecare services we provide, whether it be in the community or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse Maude Hospice are founded on the core principles of partnership, respect and nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief executive of Nurse Maude. “Our unique strength lies in the ability of our people to blend that with the values which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896; that the needs of the patients and clients are met with quality nursing care and support provided by skilled and compassionate staff.” “The broad spectrum of care provided by Nurse Maude encompasses the two most vulnerable groups in our society, the very young and the elderly.” Nurse Maude has always been a collaborative organisation, providing care
in partnership with general practitioners, practice nurses, district health boards, ACC and the Ministry of Health among others. “It is through improved communication and the sharing of information that these relationships continue to strengthen for the benefit of our patients and clients,” says Magee. From the frontline staff who exhibit that blend of expertise, efficiency and compassion which makes Nurse Maude so special through to those who support them
in administrative roles and Nurse Maude’s volunteers who give so generously of their time and talent, the organisation that is Nurse Maude attracts enormous respect in the community. While the technology, processes and systems used to provide that care today would no doubt astonish Sibylla Maude, there is little doubt that 120 years on that the organisation that bears her name and continues her legacy of care would meet with her wholehearted approval.

Effective Natural Skincare that is Olive Leaf Extract Nature’s Extraordinary Immune Support Ideal for Problem Skin
A
s far ago as 1927 Doctors used olive leaf to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. Scientists have discovered olive leaf contains powerful nutrients that directly interfere and even destroy nearly every type of disease causing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this olive leaf has immune enhancing benefits by activating immune cells that fight infection. For these reasons it has become a popular tonic herb that can be used to keep the immune system strong as well as when need to dramatically speed up recovery of conditions like colds and flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections, and much more. It has also been found beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical
diseases, two types of leukaemia and even some cancers. In many chronic health conditions the immune system is run down and it is easy to have complications that are often life threatening. Olive leaf may be a safe and very effective option to boost the immune system and allow the body to have more energy to help heal itself. Olive leaf has also been found to be an effective cardiovascular tonic helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat irregularities, and improve blood flow and vascular disorders. Olive leaf extract is so effective that too high a dose initially may make you feel worse. This is due to too many micro-organisms dying quicker than the body can process these dead organisms. This side effect can be minimized if you follow our protocol on dosage. Also drinking water and herbal teas especially raspberry leaf can be quite effective. Further information on the amazing benefits of olive leaf and how it can be effectively used is available from our Medical Herbalist or our Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

re you struggling with the heat of Summer or wanting to get organised for Winter? With the ever changing weather patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility of being able to heat and cool which is an advantage no other appliance can offer. This represents great value for your investment as you can use it all year round. The team at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool this Summer either at home or work. Enviro Master supplies, installs and services all the leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs. We currently have savings up to $600 off the recommended retail price on selected models. Would you like to maximise the number of days you can use your swimming pool? Heating your pool can do this and one of the most cost effective ways is with a water heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply, install and service you swimming pool heat pump providing you with a comfortable, extended swimming season. Servicing your heat pump is extremely important to ensure that it is working as effectively and efficiently as possible resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, lower power bills and greater comfort. But beware, not all cleaning companies are equal. We are constantly hearing of people being charged huge amounts for servicing
and all they are getting is a heat pump clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified engineers and therefore are able to fully test and diagnose any problems you may or may not be aware of with your heat pump. Also, as we are associated with all major brands, we are able to repair these under warranty if they are still within the warranty period. It is important to remember, when selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover the installation and consumers could be responsible for any repair or damage caused to the system due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s five-star installation guarantee ensures correct installation, and a demonstration so customers have an understanding on how it will best meet their needs. For a free in home consultation, call Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd, Waltham, Christchurch.

o ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. SmoothAir offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components in-store but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements. VENTILATIoN This includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Filtered air supply for summer and filtered - warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In case of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline. It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

What a view to wake up to 18 Glendevere Terrace, Redcliffs Auction: May 12, 2016
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4869

esigned to maximise the glorious views, you will be captivated as you gaze over the estuary and Southshore to take in the sweep of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond. This is not for the casual observer as the home conceals its appealing and spacious interior from the street, and it’s only once you have soaked up the stunning views will you be able to enjoy the expansive family living, including a bright, modern kitchen and defined dining area, then explore further into the home. To suit families who want extra space, there is a large formal lounge/media room on the first floor, which would also suit those who wished to have an office to work from home as it features easy separate access from the street while on the lower level the home offers a master bedroom complete with en suite, three further good-sized bedrooms and main bathroom. There is also the benefit of a shower room on the ground floor, which is ideal when you get back from a quick surf or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short drive away. For your outdoor entertaining, the west -facing timber deck is perfect for summer BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. The internal access, triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes the package. Having just completed a major renovation to a very high standard, the home will meet the demands of the most discerning buyers
and, while I am surprised the decision has been made to sell such a wonderful home, I have been given clear instructions to sell the property on auction day, unless sold prior. Open Home dates: Wednesdays and Sundays, 2pm to 2.40pm. See you at the Open Days. For more information or to arrange a private viewing, contact Chris Moores of Harcourts Grenadier Ferrymead (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 384 7950 or 027 588 4440.
