Inside

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK THE DRUMS are beating in Huntsbury as the city council looks to reinforce besieged residents under attack from hoons (see page 1).

The city council wants to install night time access restrictions along Vista Pl and Roystone Way. That would give the police the power to inflict some real damage by arresting or moving the hoons on.

At the moment the only way they can arrest the hoons is if they are breaking the law – that could involve anything from smoking dope to urinating on the side of the road.

But don’t look for a quick fix.

The city council of course needs to consult.

Consultation takes time and with spring around the corner the hoons will come out to play.

Time is what residents don’t have.

Enrolment zone for merger school

By Bridget Rutherford WOOLSTON’S Te Waka Unua School has introduced a new enrolment zone to avoid over crowding.

The Ministry of Education has approved the merger school’s new zone, which is now in force.

It is one of several schools in the east, including Bromley, to create an enrolment zone, because of roll growth.

The new zone roughly runs from the west along Tuam St, past Linwood College, stretching to Linwood Ave in the east.

It then drops to Cumnor Tce, along to Wilsons Rd, and back up past Lancaster Park to Tuam St. Woolston and Phillipstown Schools controversially merged in 2015 to form Te Waka Unua.

The Phillipstown community objected the plan when it was announced in 2012.

After High Court action, then Education Minister Hekia Parata was forced to reopen consultation with both communities.

But the decision was eventually made to merge the two.

Currently the school has a roll of more than 450 pupils. The school has previously said it can accommodate more than 500.

Pupils who live within the

new zone will be enrolled at the school.

Each year, the school’s board would determine the number of places likely to be available for the following year for those who lived out of zone.

It would work through a priority scheme.

First priority would go to those

who wanted to be in the school’s Maori medium programme, Te Whānau Puawai o Ngākaunui.

Second was for children who had a sibling already attending the school.

Third priority went to a child whose sibling was a former student.

FLAME FILES

& Meet Indy...

McMaster Heap

Veterinary practice

Meet Indy, an 11 year old speyed Lab cross, who presented for a hind leg mass. Indy has previously had tumors removed so the owners knew what to expect and wanted to get this mass checked out as it seemed to grow quite quickly. Indy was not bothered by it though and she wasn’t lame on the leg.

Indy is a very special patient of mine as she has had not one but two knee surgeries about 4 years ago (2 months apart), to repair ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments. Fortunately her stifles give her no problems and she enjoys a very fit and active social life.

Fire exposes rat nest

By Mark Thomas specialist fire investigator EARLY LAST week a detective and I sat in the sun for the best part of an hour in Armagh St while we waited for an overworked police photographer to arrive at a suspicious fire scene.

For the first time in months, the sun was shirt sleeves warm.

Spring and summer can’t come too soon for my old bones, but I dare say we’ll have to put up with some wintry stuff first.

So winter advice of the metre/heater rule, of staying in the kitchen when cooking, of using electric blankets only to heat the bed, and of cleaning the lint filter on the clothes dryer are still current and pertinent.

I spent a much colder morning in Hammersley Ave, Shirley, last Thursday.

A shed fire had spread to a garage and caused quite a bit of damage.

Inspection of the shed led us to a small freezer with signs of the fire origi-

SURPRISE: The remains of a rat nest which caused a freezer to catch fire in Shirley.

nating underneath in the compressor compartment.

A closer look at this space revealed a pile of newspaper, plastic and vegetation.

It appears a large rodent had made a nest in amongst the wiring.

The interesting fact was that the newspaper was all ripped up into nearly identical small squares.

The mental picture of a

rat carefully comparing its bedding for uniformity of size seems ludicrous.

But the evidence was right there.

The police help us regularly.

So when the brakes of a caravan being towed by a police car overheated and smoked volumes this week, the St Albans crew was more than happy to help.

Olivia performed a FNA ( fine needle aspirate) on the large mass, that was very inflamed and was golf ball sized.

Unfortunately she saw lots of “mast cells” under the microscope, giving a diagnosis of Mast Cell tumor ( MCT ). These tumors are malignant, grow fast and will set up in other sites quickly. Her only option was surgical removal to hopefully limit the spread and extend her life.

Indy was admitted, blood tests performed in house and chest xrays taken to make sure the mass hadn’t spread. Catherine ultrasounded her liver as well to check tumor spread. All looked clear. There is no point subjecting Indy to a major surgery if we saw gross changes in other organs.

We will never go in and operate on a malignant tumor without first making absolutely sure we cant detect disease elsewhere.

Indy was then anaesthetized, connected to our Cardell monitoring machine and placed on intravenous fluids, then taken to surgery to remove her MCT. Kirsty, her surgeon, also had to remove the associated draining popliteal lymph node as it was enlarged and very close to the tumor. A wide resection was undertaken to ensure no tumor tissue was left behind. The mass will be sent off for histopathology to make sure no tissue was left behind. In 10 days after surgical removal, Indy will be back to her old self, charging around as though nothing has happened.

Ultrasound is a widely used diagnostic tool at McMaster & Heap Vets. It would

be fair to say it is used daily and we see referrals from other clinics as well. Our ultrasound is mainly used for scanning hearts, pregnancy diagnosis and viewing all the organs in the abdomen plus has an inbuilt ECG for looking at the electrical rhythm of the heart. Occasionally Catherine has scanned eyes and thyroid glands and tendons. Its great at picking up abdominal foreign bodies and showing abdominal masses. Ultrasound is quick and painless to the pet and usually yields an answer that helps us in deciding if the patient is a surgical candidate or not.

We have just invested in a brand new human ultrasound machine – GE Vivid T8 – to better enable our ultrasonographer Catherine accurate, fast diagnoses.

If you have any questions regarding ultrasound in your pet, please feel free to call the clinic.

Saturday Saturday th 19 August Seafarers Barrington service nets crowd th 12 Meet August Megan on

By Sarla Donovan ST SAVIOUR’S Church in Barrington was packed for Lyttelton’s annual Sea Sunday Service recently.

The Reverend John McLister explained the origins of Sea Sunday to those present.

“It is a time to remember those who work at sea, often in dangerous and exploitative work conditions. Seafarers can be in danger from shipwreck, piracy, industry accident and exploitation.”

“On Sea Sunday, we come to recognise a group of people we sometimes ignore, sometimes don’t see, yet they are essential to our lives.”

He thanked those who helped them, making special mention of the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre.

“Five nights a week for a few hours in the evening, a volunteer opens the centre, switches on the heat pump, and tells a seafarer our password so they can access our free wi-fi. And the most common sound you hear in the centre is not the voices of men, but the voices of wives and children and, if you look at what is going on, you see tough blokes smiling, looking at cell phone screens as they chat to their families.”

Their beanies were knitted by volunteers at the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre.

“A few weeks back, at about 10, we had only one seafarer in. He was a big, tough looking bloke,” Rev McLister said.

“I said to him: ‘Sorry mate I’m locking up’. He looked a bit forlorn when I told him this. I could see why. On the screen of his phone was a little girl he was talking to. He turned to her and said: ‘Good

Jess Armstrong, manager of the centre, spoke about their work. “It’s been another busy year,” she said. “We’ve had nearly 7000 visits from seafarers since we opened two years ago.”

A collection was taken

for the operational costs of the centre. Independent Fisheries and Lyttelton Port of Christchurch were also thanked for their support.

The youth orchestra from St Peter’s Upper Riccarton Church performed and were “just brilliant,” said Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson, who attended the service.

St Mark’s School celebrates new buildings AFTER WORKING around earthquake damage and rebuild work for almost seven years, there were plenty of smiles on Friday as the new St Mark’s School buildings were officially opened.

The earthquake-damaged school library and music suite has been demolished and

rebuilt, the hall expanded and other buildings redeveloped as part of the $7 million project.

The buildings were officially opened last week by Bishop Victoria Matthews, who led the ceremony and blessing at the Anglican primary school.

Principal Averil Worner said

reopening the buildings was a “massive milestone” for the school.

The rebuild work started three years ago, and she said work had been done on almost every building.

“Keeping the quality teaching going while the school is being

built around us has been quite a challenge,” she said.

She said the new spaces would allow more flexible teaching, and were tailor-made for the school.

“It enhances our school character, with a nod to tradition but with space for innovation,” she said.

Monks offer enlightenment with art at Halswell Library GRAIN BY grain, Tibetan monks are painstakingly creating a sacred sand mandala at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre.

Formed from crushed, marblecoloured sand, the ‘cosmogram’ represents a world in perfect harmony.

Then, after three weeks, the grains will be brushed away to “signifying the impermanence of all things”.

Mandalas are said to transmit positive energies to the environment and to people who view them, guiding individuals on the path to enlightenment.

The monks will slowly build up the mandala, which is expected to be completed by September 1.

Members of the public can see them labouring over their work at the centre as they place one grain of sand after another to realise an intricate symbolic design in vivid colour.

City council libraries and information manager Carolyn Robertson said it was an amazing opportunity to see the cosmogram unfold in all its beauty.

“We are very fortunate to be able to present this rare chance to marvel at the wonder of the sand mandala,” she said.

Midge solutions in the wind

By Sarla Donovan MIDGE-PLAGUED Bromley residents will know this week what solutions are on the table to try and solve the problem.

City council staff met with the Coastal-Burwood Community Board behind closed doors last week.

They were discussing costs for long and short-term measures to control midges on the wastewater ponds.

This follows a June meeting between a group of affected residents, board members and city council staff.

The city council refused to tell Pegasus Post the details of last week’s meeting, saying it needed to inform residents first.

“Once the residents have been met with to discuss these options, the details of the proposal can be released,” said a city council spokeswoman.

One of the options being looked at is installing a UV plant in the Bromley sewage treatment plant, which could cost $3000 daily in power charges.

Coastal Ward city councillor David East has said this option would “obviate the problem altogether.”

For years, Bromley residents have been surrounded by armies of midges during the

summer months.

The city council has spent $800,000 over two years trying to fix the problem but to no avail.

Bromley resident Janet Profit is one of those who has been pleading for action.

She told Pegasus Post the residents wanted the problem “sorted, fixed” by the summer and their preference was for the UV treatment. “We know it’s going to cost a lot of money but we don’t want them reduced, we want them gone.”

“They’ve paid $800,000 to do what? That money was absolutely wasted, it never worked and that really bugged us.”

Speed limit worry for businesses

on Fashion

By Gabrielle Stuart BUSINESS owners are worried a 30km/h speed limit on streets around Linwood Village, which was approved by the city council last week, will drive away customers.

The lower speed limit is intended to protect cyclists on the new Rapanui Shag Rock cycleway, which is set to run from the central city to Sumner.

A city council committee approved the plan on Thursday, dropping the speed limit on parts of Worcester, England and Cashel Sts, between Fitzgerald Ave and Aldwins Ave. New speed limit signs are set to go up within two weeks.

Suzanne Heenan, manager of the Cats Protection League Canterbury Op Shop on the corner of Worcester and England Sts, said she was worried the change would be a final straw for some businesses.

She said many were already struggling because of postearthquake changes and more than six months of roadworks in the area.

She supported the idea of a cycleway, but did not believe cyclists would replace the cardriving customers businesses would lose.

ing Motoring

WORRY: A new 30km/h speed limit will be set around Linwood Village within the next two weeks, along the new Rapanui Shag Rock cycleway route. ​

Commuters to work aren’t going to stop, and even people out on the weekend aren’t going to want to do much shopping, because where would they put their shopping when they’re on a bike,” she said.

When the plan was put to the public in May, 34 of the 65 submissions supported it, 24 were opposed, and another seven were generally in support but expressed concerns.

Bites Tasty Bites

One submission from a retailer said the lower speed limits would discourage drivers from travelling through the area.

“Give us retailers a chance to survive here, as when our customers go elsewhere the Linwood Village will die. A dead village with cyclists passing through it is no good to anybody,” it said.

“I am a cyclist and often cycle to work, and go faster than

30km/h,” another submission said.

But other submissions strongly supported the plan, saying it would be good for the village, encourage people to be active, and the lower speed limits would discourage “hooning” and keep residents safer.

City councillor Sara Templeton said she sympathised with business owners’ concerns.

She said there could be a negative impact on businesses in the short term, but she believed the new cycleway would help the village in the long term.

“There will be a positive impact for businesses, the difficulty is that they won’t see that until it’s done,” she said.

“Keeping an eye on the big picture, people really want these cycleways to happen.

The concerns about safety is the biggest thing that has been putting people off cycling, so we do think this will help,” she said.

Construction of the city side of the cycleway is set to be complete before November this year, while plans for the Ferrymead section were approved in March.

It is part of the city council’s $156 million major cycle routes plan, which would see 13 new cycleways built across the city.

Swimathon fundraiser REGISTRATIONS are open now for Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s new swimathon event, Swim to Summer.

Following the success of the Swim to Rio Swimathon last year, which raised $2300 for St John Ambulance Rolleston, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre has issued a challenge to Selwyn residents to swim a combined total of 10,000km in pool lengths in the lead up to summer.

Said Kathy Moore, aquatic facilities manager: “The challenge is for individuals to collectively swim 10,000km before December 1, while fundraising for prostate and breast cancer awareness.

We encourage everyone to come along to work on their fitness and help a worthy cause.”

Those interested in being involved simply need to sign up in person at the centre, start swimming or aquajogging, and log their laps for each swim at reception.

A number of prizes will be available for those who swim the most laps, in categories for men, women and youth swimmers, as well as most visits to the centre during the swimathon.

Max sets goal to follow brother to US college

By Andrew King CASHMERE High footballer Max Chretien ​ is hoping to follow in his brother’s footsteps and head overseas to play the sport he loves.

Max, 17, has signed with Next Step, a company set up in Christchurch to help young footballers get scholarships at United States universities, and is excited about the future.

“I see it as an excellent opportunity to continue to play my football at a high level while studying,” he said.

Next Step was started by former All White Aaron Clapham.

“I went through the US

university system myself on a soccer scholarship and I loved it and had a great experience and now I’m passionate about helping other talented athletes have some of the great experiences and opportunities that I had,” Clapham said.

Max’s brother Simon, 18, has managed to get a scholarship at Quincy University, Illinois, and left for the US on Thursday.

“I’ve seen how it fell into place for him over the past 18 months, and how long the process really is . . . I’m putting my faith in Aaron and Gary at Next Step to try to find a college that suits me best,” he said.

However, Max is

currently injured, which has put things on hold while he recovers.

But he said there will be plenty of opportunities to get footage for future scouts from the upcoming national schools tournament, which his Cashmere High squad has qualified for.

Max said his goal was to one day put pen to paper for a major football organisation.

“Even if people say it’s extremely difficult or unrealistic, it’s possible and I think that if you really believe in yourself and constantly work on yourself every day, anything is achievable,” he said.

Cashmere heads to semi after big win

By Andrew King CASHMERE HIGH will take on St Andrew’s College in the semi-final of the Connetics first XI football competition at English Park tomorrow night.

They met in round two during the regular season, in which Cashmere took the three points with a 4-2 win at the Christchurch Football Centre, where all league games were played this year.

They will meet again at 6pm.

Cashmere coach Craig Squire is not taking the boys from Papanui Rd lightly. “[St Andrew’s] will be a hard side to break down with a very talented squad,” he said.

“However, the boys have the self-belief, skill and desire to win . . . the boys are ready for the challenge.”

St Andrew’s football coordinator Matt Jansen said they have learnt a lot since the loss in round two. “[We are] looking forward to playing them again and embracing the challenges that the game will bring,” he said.

“We know that we can play good football on our day.”

In the other semi-final, minor premiership winner St Thomas will play Burnside High.

Previously Burnside were

beaten 3-1 by St Thomas in round seven.

Their semi-final will be played at 4pm at English Park. Burnside have retained the Connetics Shield for the season.

All four teams finished the regular season last week with wins, scoring 18 goals between

them.

Burnside beat Riccarton High 4-1, St Andrew’s beat Christ’s 4-0, Cashmere beat Rangiora High 8-0 and St Thomas clinched top spot with a 2-0 win over Christchurch Boys’ High.

Ngā Manu Kōrero success repeated For the second year in a row Cashmere won the senior student section of the regional Manu Kōrero speech competition.

Freya Hargreaves-Brown (Year 13) won both the Senior English prepared and Senior Impromptu sections, and was also named first overall in the Senior Competition.

Freya was presented with the Joe Karetai Memorial trophy for her prepared speech, and for the first time in the competition the new trophy for the impromptu section named after well-known Maori teacher Mei Ward. Freya will represent Cashmere High School at Ngā Manu Kōrero National Speech Competition in New Plymouth in September.

This is the second year Cashmere has been named first overall in the Senior Section.

year are of Ngai Tahu descent.

Also competing were Wairaamia Taratoa-Bannister (Year 9) Junior

Maori, who placed seventh, and Maighdlin Jones (Year 10), who came sixth in Junior English.

Once again students and staff of Cashmere High School delivered a memorable and hugely entertaining major school production. The four evening shows were all sold out and the capacity audiences were treated to our school’s usual professional and stunning performances. Cashmere works hard to consistently deliver such

outstanding musical productions, and this year’s Chicago was no exception. Our congratulations to all the students and staff involved in this wonderful production for 2017. This will be the last production in our current Performing Arts Centre (PAC), we look forward to our new school PAC and another spectacular school production in 2019.

Property works update

Stage 1 of our school’s property works continues to progress well, with final construction finishing by the end of this year.

This work has included a new block for Arts and English, a new special education block, extensions to library and gym and strengthening work on buildings.

The tendering process for Stage 2 is under way, with exciting plans for a new 800-seat auditorium, a vibrant new science block, and refurbishment of many of the classrooms and facilities.

The staging of this work over three years is to minimise disruption, with all work due to be completed in 2019.

Illustration of proposed new science block.

House day ‘wows’ judges Cashmere’s Sustainability Council is a strong and active group, one of the many diverse groups offered as part of the at the school’s co-curricular programme.

The council won the international Zayed Future Energy Prize last year.

This year these students continue to be pro-active, volunteering to help plant more than 1000 trees at the end of the Cashmere Stream near Halswell.

This work continues our school’s strong relationship with the Cashmere Stream Care Group, with whom we have been working over the past three years gathering weekly data on the water clarity of the stream and Heathcote River.

Term 2 concluded with an amazing Fashion and Wearable Arts Show, part of our school’s Inter-House competition. The Student Councilselected theme of ‘Continental’ engendered great innovation and creativity which wowed the judges.

Ngata House won the House entry, having selected South America as its continent and its entry was truly spectacular (inset). The individual section also included exceptional entries, with the eventual winner the clever ‘Continental Breakfast’ entry, shown at right.

Place one of the cut sides down on a board. Starting at the top and following the contour of the orange, cut off the skin, leaving no white pith behind. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release orange segments, reserve juice. Place segments on top of the carrots as you go. Repeat with remaining oranges.

Slice the avocado and place on the salad. Squeeze over the lemon juice.

Make a dressing by whisking the reserved orange juice with the remaining oil and flavour with some or all of the carrot juices. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Drizzle over enough dressing to moisten the salad.

Scatter over pomegranate seeds, if using, and the basil leaves.

COURGETTES, MINT AND BROWN RICE Ingredients 300g Courgettes 400g Broad beans 1 Ltr Vegetable stock, hot

Wipe the courgettes, then slice them. Put them in a colander in the sink, generously grind salt over them and leave for at least 20min. Pod the beans, cook them for 7-10min in very lightly salted boiling water, then drain.

If the beans are large and you have the inclination, pop them out of their skins. Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep warm over a low heat.

Peel the shallots or onion and chop finely. Cook in 40g of butter until soft but not coloured, stirring regularly so they don’t brown. Add the rice, stir to coat the grains in the butter, then pour in the wine.

Let it almost evaporate, then start to add the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring almost continuously. You will find that the rice will take a good 40min to cook to tenderness – that is,

We provide full time, part time and casual enrolment opportunities for your child, so that you can organise a schedule which suits your requirements.

The teachers provide learning experiences tailored to individual children’s needs and interests, and the programme promotes independent thinking and skill development. Our aim is to have happy, settled, confident children, who enjoy an environment which fosters a love of learning, and respect for all people We are proud of our multinational community and the opportunities this provides for both teachers and children.

Regular parent and whanau activities are organised throughout the year, and we place an emphasis on a close liaison between home and nursery school, which is vital to any child’s success and progress.

We do hope you find our

website helpful but encourage you to visit the nursery school for a full information booklet.

We will be delighted to meet you and your child, and welcome you to Lindisfarne. www.lindisfarnenursery.school.nz

Roslyn Eason, fully trained and experienced early childhood teacher, owns and operates Marshlands Nest Early Learning Centre which is an intimate centre with a maximum of 25 children.

Roslyn says “Our goal is to create a setting where self-esteem, love, learning and respect for others is prominent and where every child leaves each day feeling secure and loved in their special environment.

At Marshlands Nest they create a most positive environment for children so they can learn through all experiences and interactions but most importantly through play.

Portobelo Avonhead Preschool and Nursery A great reputation for exceptional education and care, at 124 Yaldhurst Road.

Your baby or toddler will have a special ‘primary care’ teacher who will love and care for them. Our teacher: baby ratios are the best you will find. Older children are supported in skills to become life long, curious learners and problem solvers.

Your child will run, climb trees, dig, bike, play with balls, and help tend our edible gardens in our natural backyards. Indoors, children engage purposefully in sustained play as they learn with their friends, following their interests and passions.

As they get older, they will join “Kura Club” to ease their journey on to school.

“Respect, Responsibility and Community” are key to everything we do in our centre.

We understand how special your child is and we will work hard with you to ensure we exceed expectations, for you and for your child. Call us on 3439943 to book a time to come and see for yourself.

They have a mixed licence which means children of different ages play and interact with each other. It allows siblings to be together and gives solo children a chance to be part of a larger family. It also means children do not need to transition between rooms so can stay with the same teachers and children.

Marshlands Nest does recognize the need for age specific learning and a portion of each day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with others of the same age.

The team at Marshland Nest would love to have you as part of their family, please feel free to drop in or give them a call.

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

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.

The facts about home ventilation Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure Under the New Zealand Building Code, all buildings, including residential, need to be suitably ventilated, either with opening windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this provision is to safeguard people from illness or loss of amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, or mechanical, ventilation over opening windows, including warmth, security, reduction of outside noises and reduction of condensation.

Traditional domestic ventilation systems are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from outside via the roof space and force the stale air out through gaps around windows and doors.

The incoming air from these systems has to be heated or cooled to keep the house warm in winter or cool in summer.

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It extracts air from the house and at the same time brings in fresh air. These two streams of air pass through a heat exchanger, which warms incoming air in winter and cools in summer if air conditioning is being used.

This means that up to 80% of the energy which would be

r

nsfe a r T at

He

wasted using a traditional positive pressure system is recovered, resulting in significant energy savings and therefore lower heating or cooling costs.

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation systems have been considerably more expensive than traditional positive pressure systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 balanced pressure system can be installed for a similar price as a traditional positive pressure system.

Migraine relief Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck

It’s not very well known that almost 13 percent of people – including childrensuffer from headaches and migraines.

It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world and causes 91 percent of the people it affects to miss work or reduce their functional capacity. In the past 10 years, the understanding of what causes headaches and migraines has significantly changed. The research now shows that the sensitisation of the brain stem is what

causes this pain; and the specially trained physiotherapists at Muscle People are well versed in how to treat it.

Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle People, had this to say about her experience: “My migraines were debilitating and they’d often come without warning. Sometimes once a week, but generally about once a month. I’d moved up from Dunedin where I’d managed them with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In

Christchurch I was so reluctant to let anyone near my neck. I read the article and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I went to the first appointment with a page of all the concerns I had. The first time I met Laurie I remember walking out and feeling more in control. After about four treatments with Laurie and perfecting the technique she taught me I truly began to reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I feel a migraine coming on I now have the control to manage it myself, even stopping them from taking over, without needing someone to drive me in to the osteopath or the hospital for an injection to relieve the pain. With the technique Laurie taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”

Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained in Australia in the award winning and ground breaking Watson Approach to dealing with headaches and migraines.

This proven method examines and treats the movements of the first three segments of the neck, which when sensitised cause headaches and migraines.

“In our clinics we see people from as far away as Invercargill who come to us specially to seek treatment” says Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium in Australia we went to just recently reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we do, and honed our skills even more.”

True

Generally patients will come to our clinic four or five times in the first few weeks of treatment. We show them some very simple exercises to do at home. After the first few weeks, treatment sessions are guided by how the patient is feeling.

“Often patients come to us at the end of a long journey having tried quite a few other treatments, and we are able to help them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie says.
