Woman’s work in sport ​ governance recognised „„ By Georgia O’Connor-Harding HALSWELL’S Annette Purvis has worked tirelessly to get women elevated into sports governance roles across the world. She now hopes her recognition on the Queen’s 90th Birthday Honours list will help others realise there are more roles in sports than just being a “club secretary.� Mrs Purvis, with two other Halswell residents, Charles Crofts and Kenneth Sowden were honoured yesterday as Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit yesterday. Mrs Purvis is in her second term for serving as the Oceania representative women’s committee on the International Association of Athletics Foundation. In her role, she helps women work their way into governance and management positions in the industry. “Hopefully, I can role model to other women who want to get involved with sport that there are opportunities far more than being the club’s secretary,� she said. Ms Purvis’ passion for athletics
began when she was 12 when she discovered she had a flair for the 800m and 1500m run. Her first role was a club administrator in Hutt Valley before she had a variety of roles over the years from team manager to club president. She said New Zealand punches above its weight in world competitions and is excited about the athletics team going to the Rio Olympic Games in August. And when the city lost the QE II Park, Mrs Purvis along with about 60-80 volunteers was there to help the city’s athletics get back on its feet. “We’re very resilient. That is a word that gets used a lot in the city but immediately we found ourselves a second home which is Rawhide Domain with a grass track which is not ideal,â€? she said. She said while numbers are down in the city, when Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub is completed with an all-weathered track there will be an upsurge in membership. “The thing I love about sport is when you are at grass root level . . .you can see what difference it makes for kids no matter what background.â€? •Recipients, pages 6 & 7

Tuesday June 7 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Today we celebrate those among us who have achieved something special. The Queen’s Birthday Honours List has been released and on it are a few familiar faces. See the list on page 6. Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton is also someone adding value to our community. She made the shift from training as a lawyer after the February 22, 2011, earthquake to using art as a therapy to reduce social isolation. Read about her in Our People. Earlier this year people were divided when the central city speed limits were reduced to 30km/h. Now the city council has released a number of suburban streets where the speed limits could change. See what roads could be affected on page 8. Enjoy your week. – Shelley Robinson

MOVING MISHAPS AT ECAN OFFICE
Moving can be a pain – but at least two Environment Canterbury staff members felt it more than most when the regional council shifted into its new Tuam St offices in April. Within the first two weeks, one person walked into the glass surround of the revolving door on the ground level, receiving a bruised temple and a headache.
A second person walked into the glass balustrade on the ground floor stairs bruising their upper arm. Both were put on light duties for two days. ECan spokeswoman Katherine Trought said moving 406 staff into a new office building was a little like moving into a new house, “where you bump into things until you work out how to navigate your way around.”

Playground for reserve ByGeorgiaO’Connor-Harding QUARRY HILL Reserve will be getting a playground after the community has been asking for one for about five years. Yet there is no sign it will cater for children with disabilities and the city council says while it has made some pathways accessible for those with disabilities, it is too late to make further changes. Last year the multi-million dollar Margaret Mahy Family Playground was criticised by SmileDial’s New Zealand chief executive Kelly Dugan left, for its lack of accessibility for children with disabilities. It is getting a $78,000 upgrade after the outcry. Mr Dugan said after the criticism the Margaret Mahy Family Playground received it should now be so much easier for the designers to consider disabled children. The Quarry Hill project began last week and will take 6-8 weeks to construct with at the cost of $126,744. The playground will feature a climbing boulder with a net,
he said. He said disabled facilities are always considered in the design phrase of the project with a path designed to lead to the playground and seating area. “This provides full access to the play area. Some of the equipment is suitable for children with disabilities, however this has not been specifically designed as an all abilities playground.” Mr Dugan said the key is making sure the playground is wheelchair accessible or there are

The grant will help the residents’ association to get expert biodiversity advice for their submission to the Canterbury Aggregates Producers Group’s resource consent application.

Thirty-seven per cent said the proposed bus fare would decrease their bus usage. Fifty-two per cent said there would be no affect.

Youth engagement Canterbury Youth Workers Collective coordinator Penny Prescott says for post-quake city to thrive there needs to be involvement from young people. A couple of weeks ago I was one of a handful of adults who got to attend a UNICEF Youth For Change Conference that was held here in Christchurch. A team of four young people put this event together and there were 70 other young people in attendance. There were a range of speakers, including the Youth Advisory Group for a collaboration project I help out with called Child and Youth Friendly Christchurch. The YAG were there consulting with the participants about what they think it is that makes a city youthfriendly. An amazing example of young people providing a space for young people to consult with other young people about things important to them and our city. It would be great to see
more of these events and more publicity of these events so all young people get a chance to attend. There’s a group in Christchurch called Youth Voice Canterbury who are a network of young people and youth participation groups. A few weeks ago they pulled a diverse group of young people together to chat with the city council senior staff and elected members about what’s important for youth in our city. It showed a real willingness by the city council to engage with young people, and those young people felt listened to and valued. Although this was well supported by the city council, it was pulled together and facilitated by young people who wanted to participate. These sorts of opportunities are valuable both for the people making decisions about

Christchurch, but also for the positive development of our young people. At the moment Youth Voice Canterbury are organising the first Canterbury Youth Awards. Nominations closed earlier in the week with 81 nominations being received. The idea is to create a culture of celebrating young people. I think it would be fantastic to see this event and others like it promoted positively in media outlets for both the public and the youth of Christchurch. I understand that there are real issues for young people in our communities, and these need to be discussed and addressed. But what I want is for us to ensure that we’re spending just as much energy giving our young people opportunities and celebrating their successes, because the youth are the future of this city. If we want to see our great city continue to grow and to thrive post-quake, then we need to have involvement from those who will be there to grow it.

Merivale Dental Group welcomes hygienist Megan Smith to the team
Readers responds to the Western News article on the Riccarton Community Centre: Clare Simonsen – I recently read the article advising the plans for the Riccarton Community Centre not including a library. I also noted in the article the comment from Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck that there are 3-4 other libraries within 2km. Where are they? I recently visited the existing service centre and inquired about the library and was advised the closest is Upper Riccarton – Main Sth Rd (at Riccarton High School) which is more than 2km away. The service centre could not advise of any closer library. If they do exist, then a map could be put in the service centre to advise their location. The library is a pivotal point of any community for social interaction, networking, communication and solace. It is very regretful that planners do not see the importance of such a facility. I have recently travelled through New Zealand and noted that even the smallest communities have a library. Riccarton should be expanding its community facilities not withdrawing them. The suggestion of “free book shelves” does not help those of us who appreciate the library service of internet and computer access, and does not offer any kind of control on the books donated. I would hope there is time

for submissions by the community, to re-think this decision. Gary Knight –The revelation of the first draft design of the proposed $3.2 million Riccarton Community Centre being devoid of a library is demeaning to central Riccarton residents. Having forwarded a submission to the Annual Plan 2016/17 and Amended Long Term Plan 2015-25, as well as the inclusion of provision of funding for community well-being under the Long Term City Council Plan 2015/2025 – both for inclusion of a library within the Riccarton Community Centre – bears testimony to its importance for these residents. The indifference portrayed by Deputy Mayor Buck, opting instead for free bookshelves and book clubs, is demeaning to the concept of a true local community facility. Within this context, the new Riccarton Community Centre should include not only the service centre, but also the volunteer library. Thus servicing the needs of all Riccarton residents within this rapidly growing suburb destined to be a future key hub. A lack of consultation by the city council and the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board in respect of library and service centre inclusion in the new venue causes many to query the integrity or possibility of hidden agendas of both entities over this sensitive issue.

S H OW HAVING A remote control home is no longer the stuff of science fiction. If you have the technology, you can now turn your heating on while you’re on your way home, set a crock-pot to start your dinner cooking, and check up instantly on your home if a security or fire alarm goes off to see if it’s a danger or just a false alarm. Although the technology has existed for several years, it has been expensive and complicated to install. Startup company Morepork’s goal is to make the technology accessible to anyone. Chief executive Gemma Croombs said its systems could be installed simply yourself, with simple plug in cameras and control panels and wireless alarms and sensors. “People have the perception
IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control your security system and home automation technology. you can only have them if you’re building and you can put cable all through your home, but it doesn’t have to be like that anymore.” The company, which was backed by Spark, launched in August last year, but she said the technology was already growing. “One of the things we’re testing at the moment is a smart door bell which sets up voice call, so if someone’s there to
drop off a package you can say just drop off, don’t leave me to pick it up from the depot on my weekend. Or if you have a smart lock, you can just remotely open the door and let them in.” As new technology was developed, she said it could be added on to the same system. She plans to be at The Star Home & Leisure Show with her team, with several systems set up for people to play with there, and special deals on offer.
Credit cards stolen in car break-in spree By Tom Doudney CREDIT CARDS stolen from cars in Halswell were used to make 11 transactions from service stations around the city on Monday last week. There were 22 cars broken into, parked outside 19 different addresses on Halswell Junction Rd, Wigram Rd, Thornlea Pl, Arkwright Pl, Patterson Tce, Brigham Drive and Marquess Ave, between the night of May 29 and the morning of May 30. Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said more than one stolen credit card was used to make the transactions and it was disappointing that a number of the cars had been left unlocked overnight. The previous week, seven cars in the Westmorland area also had items stolen from them and then too a number of them had been left unlocked. Senior Sergeant Stills said it wasn’t known at this stage if there was any connection between the two sets of offending but police would be looking at that. CCTV at the petrol stations would be used to try and identify the offender.

Q ueen ’ s B irthday h onours L ist
Star Media chairman receives honour ByGabrielleStuart STAR MEDIA chairman Nick Smith has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for more than 50 years work in media and sport. He was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit yesterday. Mr Smith started work at the Christchurch Star in 1965, as an advertising cadet. “It was the heyday of newspapers. You weren’t competing for eyeballs. I spent two and a half years there, and it was fantastic. I still have a lot of friends from those days, we had a lot of fun together. We used to have boxing tournaments in the lunchroom,” he said. He went on to become a director of Allied Press, publisher of the Otago Daily Times, and chairman of CTV. Although he was a major shareholder, he said he stayed in the background at CTV for several years, leaving the running of the company to managing director Murray Wood. But when Mr Wood was killed in the collapse of the building in
the February 2011 earthquake, Mr Smith said he was suddenly thrust into management of the station. He remembered the first meeting the day after the earthquake, sitting in a dark room without power talking about the future with his distraught staff. “It would have made more sense to take the insurance money and close the station, but to me that would mean we let the staff and the victims’ families down. That to me was the deciding factor.” He has also played a key role in sport over the years, helping to develop Hagley Park, form the University Oval Redevelopment Trust and raise $2 million to establish the first cricket ground in Dunedin. He has also sponsored and donated to many community groups and organisations working around the South Island. “My philosophy has always been what’s good for the province is what’s good for the business, and what’s good for the company is good for the province.”

Most styles are the popular ankle boots; however, long boots are also featured, with all styles affordably priced. On the sale side of the two stores, there is a wide selection of men’s and women’s footwear from last
season at discounted prices. These include summer shoes and sandals – good buys for people taking overseas holidays during our winter.

Major speed limit changes proposed By Andrew King SPEED LIMIT changes proposed by the city council are trying to find the balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists according to a traffic expert. Every three years, speed limits on streets are reviewed, this year 27 have been proposed to have lower limits installed. In March the speed limit for the heart of Christchurch’s CBD was changed to 30km/h to provide safer, more user-friendly and enjoyable ways for people to travel. Canterbury University traffic expert Alan Nicholson said while he supports the proposed changes in the city centre, the haste they are being pushed through could face a public backlash. “It is great to find a balance between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists but if you push cars out quickly from the city centre people could get irritated and not support it,” he said. He was also concerned about the drastic change to some speeds on roads in the wards. “Some of the speeds will go from 100km/h to 50km/h. They possibly should have been changed in the past now they have a drastic change,” he said.
FINDING THE BALANCE: The city council is proposing lower speed limits on roads all around the city to make it safer for all those who use them. Inset: Alan Nicholson
Twelve roads in the RiccartonWaimairi Ward have been proposed to have lower speed limits, seven roads in the FendaltonWaimairi Ward, four in the Shirley-Papanui Ward, and one each in the Burwood-Pegasus and HagleyFerrymead Wards. Some of the roads proposed run between two wards and have been counted twice such as Pound Rd. These are mainly in new growth areas where the speed limit of a once rural road is no
longer considered safe in expanding residential and commercial zones. The city council is also proposing to extend the inner-city 30km/h limit, which came into effect on March 12, to include sections of St Asaph St and Hagley Ave. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said lowering the speed limit on those streets is what the public wants. “We welcome the triennial review of speed limits. We have iden-
tified some roads we think need to be addressed, so have the public and city council staff,” he said. Following the consultation process city council staff will consider all feedback and prepare a report for community boards who will make a recommendation to the city council who makes the final decision. The speed limit changes consultation runs from May 31 to June 21 on the city council’s website under the Have Your Say page.
Proposed road speed limit changes by ward: Riccarton-Wigram Ward - Avonhead Rd, Carrs Rd, Halswell Junction Rd, Jessons Rd, Marshs Rd, Murphys Rd, Owaka Rd, Pound Rd, Quifes Rd, Roberts Rd, Waterloo Rd, Whincops Rd, Wigram Rd and Wilmers Rd.

Our People
Kim Morton
Putting all the energy into art, creativity Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton talks to Fraser Walker-Pearce about reducing social isolation through art, training as a lawyer and her favourite place in the city
Kim, tell me a bit about what you do for the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust. I guess I lead the programme and we run art programmes. At the moment we run at Phillipstown and Aranui Libraries but we are looking to expand across the city into other community hubs. Our mission is using art to boost people’s wellbeing. We’re especially looking to work with people that have experienced mental illness, earthquake trauma and social isolation. We provide opportunities for people to connect with their community as well. How long has it been running? It’s been going for just over a year now, but we had a low profile for our first six months. But
EXCITED: Kim Morton is the manager of Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust, and teaches creative art classes.
since the start of the year we’ve had quite a surge of interest in our programmes. We’re very excited because it means we need to expand them now, and we’re looking for support to do that. Where is the programme based? The base is Phillipstown Community Hub, in the old Phillipstown School, which closed at
the end of 2014. We’re here along with a whole lot of other fantastic community initiatives. Aranui also presents a great opportunity because the team there is really passionate about serving their community. We know libraries are the living room of communities and people go there because they feel welcome and it’s a free space.
And the feedback you’ve received has been positive? The feedback has been fantastic. What people love is that it’s participant driven, so artists choose the art forms they’re interested in, and they do that. The environment they’re in is without any pressure to produce, just heaps of encouragement. People have said it’s a really inspiring environment
to be in. It’s not a structured class as such, anyone could be working on anything – like sculptures, printmaking, and calligraphy. Sometimes the participants will need encouragement and suggestions, but most people settle in to what they want to be doing. If someone’s stuck we help them though. Has the programme been successful for the artists? Some people have come in and worked in this space, and they’ve had work feature in national exhibitions. We’ve had three people gain scholarships through The Learning Connexion but also people are feeling like they have a sense of belonging to something creative and belonging to a new community. They’ve said they’ve made friends. And from that they’re more engaged in their community. Has this project been set up by the city council, or independently? It’s an independent community charitable trust. We have had great support from Creative New Zealand, the city council and the Rata Foundation. Not only that but we are finding that we are being given a lot of support in terms of art materials, which is a fabulous endorsement for the trust.
Information for visitors to Burwood Hospital New facilities opening from Monday 13 June Our fantastic new facilities for Older Persons’ Health and Rehabilitation at Burwood Hospital will be opening from Monday 13 June. The new facilities include three new ward blocks, a brand-new and fully equipped radiology department, and a new outpatients department which will be fully open by Wednesday 15 June. Between 13 June and 16 June, Older Persons’ Health wards will be relocated from The Princess Margaret Hospital. Patients and visitors should enter the hospital at the new main entrance at 300 Burwood Road – unless your appointment letter tells you otherwise.

and wellbeing projects How full are your classes? Funny you should say that actually, we have a waiting list for the Phillipstown groups. There’s currently a lot of work being done looking at whether a community hub could be set up in the closed Central New Brighton School, and we’re hoping we might be able to share a space in that facility. You must get a bit of a kick knowing classes are full? Oh absolutely. It’s something that I get a great deal of joy out of. Yes it’s my full-time job, but my focus has been on establishing the programmes and now they’re doing so well. We just need to secure funding so we can add to our existing programmes to meet the demand. So how did this all come about? About 20 years ago I managed a community art space in Masterton and I’d been aware of the gap in Christchurch for some time, but it was only after the earthquakes that it kind of galvanised my energy and so I decided to kick-start something here. There’s a network of spaces like this around the country, so I had good relationships with the people involved there and then we did some research which was funded by Creative New Zealand, and it looked at the need and how
something should be set up here. It’s not something you can just transplant from one city to the other, Masterton is a small town. In post-earthquake Christchurch, opportunities to connect with others creatively in your local community seemed more important. So is the city council involved at all? It supported the feasibility work done in 2014 and our set-up in early 2015. The city council has been supportive right through that process. Two council staff members were on our steering group which guided us through the research stage, and establishment. How long have you been in Christchurch then? I’ve been here for 15 years, and was in Masterton before, for about three years, but I was born in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of different places, but Christchurch is home now. Oh good to hear! Where are your favourite spots? My favourite in Christchurch is Taylors Mistake. But in New Zealand, it’d be the Cavalli Islands in Northland. It’s special because we had lots of childhood holidays there, and many family connections. Do you have any family down here?
I have two boys, who are 17 and 13. They keep me on my toes. They’re both at Hagley Community College, and they’re enjoying that. I’m not sure what they want to do, but as long as they do what they’re passionate about, I’m good with that. And where in the city are you guys based? We’re in Lyttelton. The kids love it because of the hills and the sea, and the great landscape. That’s a bit of a trek to work each day? Yes that’s a point, I don’t live in the communities I’m working in. That means that it’s even more important to have a strong relationship with the community. We’ve designed some projects that are around the identity and stories of Phillipstown – photography and poetry projects that combine with Ara Institute of Canterbury, and local residents, and what Phillipstown means for them. That’s only just started. Where did you go to school then? I went to school in Auckland, to Westlake Girls’ High School. It was just the one up the road from where we lived at the time. Did you ever have a mentor, or a big influence that taught you art? Some people do have an outstanding person in their life, but
DISCUSSIONS: Kim Morton and Creative New Zealand’s Chris Archer discuss the future of the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust.
this is hard for me. I guess mine was Sue McBride, who was an outstanding art teacher. I really enjoyed art at school because of her, so that probably did sow the seed. What did you do after that? I’ve had quite a few different aspects of my work. One is in law, I trained for law, and didn’t know if I’d take it further after I studied it. I specialised in social justice and community law. And in a way there’s quite a connection between those studies and what I do now. Where did you study for law?
At the University of Otago for five years. I worked in consumer rights and then in community law, specialising on welfare law. And did you use the degree? Did you have any law jobs? Yes, I did. I guess it must have been 20 years on and off using it. The earthquakes made me question what I was doing, and I decided to put my energy into creativity and wellbeing projects. Life’s short, if I can make a difference, then I should. And for me it was around this idea of art and creativity in Christchurch that was the best way I could do that.

SELFIE: Mayor Lianne Dalziel taking a photo with Halswell Primary School pupils who were winners of the Sister City Award for Cultural Awareness.
School’s global link PUPILS FROM Halswell Primary School celebrated with a selfie with the mayor after receiving an award recognising efforts made to increase international links. The school was presented a Sister Cities New Zealand Award certificate by Mayor Lianne Dalziel last week. The awards are sponsored by Air New Zealand and the school receives a prize of $1500 of Air New Zealand travel. Last week, Ms Dalziel presented a Sister Cities New Zealand Award to Halswell Primary School. The school was awarded the Best School Cultural Awareness Project after developing a
strategic plan to enhance their international programme and connect with young people globally. Most recently, pupils travelled to China and Korea to experience authentic international learning and acted as ambassadors for their school and the city. Halswell School Principal Bruce Topham said he appreciated the mayor’s recognition. “Historically, we have tried to foster a relationship with [Sister Cities New Zealand] . . . it’s invaluable to help our children become global citizens,” he said. Ms Dalziel said the pupils worked hard to fundraise for the trip.

By Gordon Findlater FORMER BURNSIDE High student Alice Zeimann and her partner Emily Johnston qualified for the World Under-19 Beach Volleyball Championships in Cyprus at the end of July. The pair qualified after finishing second at the Asian Under-19 Beach Volleyball Championships in Laos. “We were just hoping to qualify. We didn’t have any knowledge on what the skill level would be like, whether we would be just be blown out of the water or whether we would do quite well,” Zeimann said. The pair won their two pool matches against Kazakhstan 2 and Laos 1 before meeting Kazakhstan 3 in the round of 16. They then beat the Thailand third and second teams in the quarter and semi-finals before meeting Thailand 1 in the final. The kiwi pairing stayed with Thailand throughout the first set before the eventual winners took command to claim the title 21-17 21-11. Zeimann is no stranger to success, she has taken out three straight secondary school beach volleyball titles with Burnside. She was also named most valuable player at the finals tournament this year. Competing against older athletes isn’t a problem for her either. Zeimann won the National Club Championships with the Shirley club in 2015, and was named the tournament’s best
passer. Zeimann is confident going into the tournament in Cyprus. Most of all, she’s excited to be going to an event of this magnitude. “It will just be an awesome experience . . . we never make it past Asian champs because its a lot harder to make it past the top five, so it will be awesome to go to world champs because I’ve never been before.” Zeimann will depart for training camp in the US with the rest of the New Zealand contingent in mid-July for training ahead of the world champs. The under-19 world championship will begin on July 26.

Making and maintaining dentures
the focus at this Hornby clinic Better Denture (formerly Denture South - Hornby) in Brynley Street Hornby focuses on the fabrication of new dentures as well as the maintenance of older dentures, says the clinic’s new owner, experienced dental technician Chris Castle. Chris has been with the clinic for three years and took over the business from Andrew Johnson recently. “People who come in to have their dentures checked don’t necessarily have to get a new set made,” Chris says. “A set of dentures usually lasts on average eight to 12 years before
needing to be replaced. During that time period most dentures will require a maintenance reline to compensate for the changes which occur naturally to the mouth. This usually occurs every five years for most and essentially aids in addressing fitting issues as well as strengthening the denture.” When a patient first has dentures made and fitted, they will usually need some adjustments. As Chris describes it, it’s like a new pair of shoes – it can take a while for them to feel totally comfortable. “Patients may need their dentures
adjusted a few times, depending on the person, and we recommend to anyone who is having any problems to come back and see us. We are always happy to look after our customers. “We try to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere at our clinic, which is enjoyable even for those who are nervous about the process,” Chris says. “We are focused on providing a ‘Better Denture’ experience for every individual patient. From the initial consultation, through the settling in stages after the dentures have been fitted and then the

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.

Ventilation Equipment Suppliers to trade and retail
smooth-air products To enSure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air 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 and 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.
Get rid of dampness in your house noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands
the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

Time Honoured Remedy According to a country doctor “d.c. Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and honey (cV & H) can be an important part of a long healthy life. dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly consumed cider vinegar and honey had excellent health with many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even when well into their eighties. dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar and honey on arthritis can be remarkable with many patients reporting almost total relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar and honey. dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits and helped the body control calcium use. As well as a general tonic dr. Jarvis found regular administration of cider vinegar and honey at the onset of complaints such as the common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic attacks, hay fever, and childhood diseases such as chicken pox and measles, was accompanied by an improvement in the condition with symptoms either disappearing, or the conditions were extremely mild and soon over. Apple cider vinegar contains
all the goodness of the apple in a form that is readily accepted by the body. Scientists have found over 90 different substances in AcV, among them 20 important trace elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a number of different acids including malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the form of potash and pectin. A scientific study at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven AcV to have potent antioxidant benefits (it can destroy free radicals, which are a major factor in ageing.) and also the AcV can break down cholesterol formations in the blood vessels. AcV and H is a powerful tonic that also promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize any toxic substances that enter the body. it is important to note not all cider vinegar is made in the traditional way and results are likely to prove disappointing with these other vinegars.

Complementary therapies
and products coMPLeMentAry Medicine includes treatments and products that are not traditionally used in conventional medicine. They range from ancient systems such as traditional chinese medicine to treatments such as massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine and aromatherapy. They emphasise a ‘wellness’ that comes from a balance between the body and mind. The gap between conventional medicine and complementary is starting to blur. Before starting any treatment or product it is important to check what evidence is available to suggest that it may work for you. Many treatments are beginning to be backed up by scientific evidence. However, for many others it is still unclear whether they are truly effective, harmful or a waste of time and money. Some supplements that may be beneficial for you: Avocado, soybean, calcium & vitamin d, capsicum, folic acid, fish oil, glucosamine & chondroitin and cherries. Herbs can also be beneficial e.g. boswellia can be beneficial for those with osteoarthritis. you may also consider tai chi, yoga and relaxation techniques. if you try complementary medicine treatment it is important to discuss with your medical practitioner about any possible interactions of the product with your current medical treatment. Keep in mind that natural does not necessarily mean safe and always tell your doctor of all the remedies you take.
