DETERIORATING: The city council wants to spend $4 million raising stopbanks and replacing sandbags along the Avon River to help prevent flooding.

$4m flood mitigation project planned Temporary stopbanks need raising and sandbags replaced FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
The height of temporary stopbanks along the Avon River from South New Brighton to Kerrs Reach could be raised and sandbags replaced under a $4 million project. A report will go to a city council committee on Thursday, recommending “urgent� sandbag replacements and higher stopbank levels, in a bid to reduce instances of flooding.
INSIDE:
The temporary stopbanks were constructed under emergency legislation following the February 2011 earthquake to mitigate tidal flooding. Because the stopbanks were only designed to have a “life of five years� and not designed to withstand high magnitude earthquakes, the report said urgent solution was required. The Valentine’s Day earthquake exacerbated the
problem with five locations along the Avon River affected with increased seepage, and cracking. If approved construction begins in July. The news comes after Pegasus Post reported in February that Southshore Residents’ Association and the South Brighton Residents’ Association
were concerned about the deteriorated state of the temporary stopbanks. City council staff have recommended that $4 million be spent on the detailed design and construction of raising the stopbanks between 40cm and 50cm and replacing sandbags. But South Brighton Residents’ Association chairman Hugo Kristinsson (left) who has lobbied for a solution, said the city council’s solution does not
go far enough. “That budget ($4 million) is concerning. When they are fixing the surface, they are missing the problems which are in the ground. This is just cosmetic fixing, it’s like a makeover for a person with a black eye. The problem is still there,� he said. “They just want to get the extra 20 years to push it away. They just want to get us off their back,� he said.

Land sale will break ‘agreement’ Campaigner has proof that QEII land cannot be sold FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Community campaigner Garry House has his sights set on proving the partial sale of QEII will break a 53-year-old agreement. Mr House says he has a document which will prove that the city council cannot sell land for Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ development. It relates to what he says is an agreement between Garry House the city council and the former owners of the land – the now defunct New Brighton Trotting Club. Mr House said more than 50 years ago the land was sold to the city council at a cut price on the condition that the land was only ever used for recreation and sport. “It is stated quite clearly that the council would use it for sport
and recreation only. They would maintain it under this environment in perpetuity,” he said. But the city council says there is “no evidence” of any such agreement. “We have done extensive research into this and there is no evidence or documentation to support the claims . . .” said a city council spokeswoman. However, Mr House said he will fight to ensure the city council honours the agreeement. Mr House is the chairman of Standards New Zealand and
works as an engineering consultant. He successfully lobbied to stop the city council installing pressure wastewater systems septic tanks on residents’ properties in Parklands and North New Brighton. Mr House is also the secretary of the New Brighton Returned Services Association. When he tabled the document he found last year while in Wellington, searching land records at the Land Information New Zealand at the hearing on the

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.

Hunt on to find owner of mystery parakeet FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When the Foley family moved into their Burwood house last August, they weren’t expecting to be woken by a screeching parakeet every morning. But that is exactly what happened. Now the search is on to find the owner of the parakeet who, inspite of the early 6.30am wake up call each morning, the neighbourhood has grown quite fond of. The Foleys moved just a few kilometres from their earthquakedamaged Lake Terrace Rd home, and for the first month of their stay, everything was normal. But by mid-September, they were being awoken consistently at about 6.30am every day by the screeching parakeet. Roger Foley said at first he had no idea what was making the noise, and went outside to investigate. “I had no idea what was going on, and went outside to see this beautiful parakeet in the trees,” he said. The next day he talked to his neighbours, who told him they were surprised that the bird had returned to the neighbourhood after a cold winter.

FRIENDLY ALARM: This parakeet has a tendency to wake up its neighbours at 6.30am every day. But they love it.
They told him it was a regular visitor in the past summer, but presumed it had died in the winter. “They said last winter it had come too, and they just loved it,” Mr Foley said. He said the parakeet had a regular schedule it stuck to. “It’ll appear in our trees at 6.30am and start screeching, mainly in our big tree. Then it’ll fly across to the neighbours and disappear at about 10.30am. It’ll come back at
night briefly, and then go away until morning,” he said. Now, instead of seeing the parakeet as a loud nuisance, Mr Foley’s children enjoy being woken up by the bird. “Now they love the parakeet too. I just worry someone is missing their pet,” he said. Mr Foley said he had no idea how old the bird was, or who it belonged to, but thought the owners should know it was safe and in good health.

Phillip Mitchell
50 years plumbing: ‘Filthy’ but fun Avonside’s 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 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 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
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.
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 another tutor joining in 2006 and another in 2007. We now have eight, virtually a new tutor every year. We do work for the school’s organisation and Ara Institute of Canterbury 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. 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. 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.

The annual fireworks display will not be held at the New Brighton Pier for at least the next two years while it undergoes repairs. The Pegasus Post asked what people thought of the decision and if it was worth fighting to keep them in the eastern suburbs.
Southshore Residents’ Association chairman Bill Simpson: “It would be a bit disappointing to see it moved, but I suppose the repairs are necessary. I imagine it’d be good to have it temporarily in Scarborough but for the long term it should come back to New Brighton. If New Brighton residents are keen to keep it there, we’d definitely be in full support of them, but I don’t think we would initiate that ourselves. I would think a promise that it would come back would be better than a replacement event – there may be neighbourhood events on the beach but they wouldn’t be of the same scale.”
New Brighton Union Parish co-ordinating minister Mark Gibson: “People have repair fatigue in the east. I just don’t think people will be able to handle anymore disruption to places they enjoy visiting in the area. It’s sort of taking yet another thing away from New Brighton. There have been a lot of losses, the community is desperate to see things built and installed and all the rest of it. They want to see new things that aren’t going to be taken away. I think there needs to be something else happening, if not in New Brighton then in the east in the interim during those repairs. But the city council should be committing itself long term to return the fireworks in New Brighton once the repairs are finished.”

COLDS IMMUNISE YOURSELF Have you immunised yourself & family against the bacterial complications of colds this winter.
Strategic Urban Rejuvenation Force chairwoman Lesley Fulton: “I think probably the fear is that if it leaves it may never come back. Most of the work will be done from underneath and from the sea-level, so it’d just be about getting a few people onto the pier to set up the fireworks. Keeping them on the pier if possible should be the priority. If there is an opportunity for the community to fight for them then they should, it’s something special for us. If it is taken away then I’d rather have a promise than a replacement event. If they were prepared to have something in its place for those two years that would be good but I would want to see it come back after the repairs.”
City councillor Glenn Livingstone: “What the closure means is two things for me: The first is amenity – we still want the community and the city to use and enjoy the pier. The other is safety. As elected members we have to make good sensible decisions. I’m not saying we can’t do it, but we are up against it. We need to keep pushing. I will be fighting to keep the fireworks. It’s a drawcard for New Brighton and I think we need to keep it. If they have to move, if they really have to . . . it is hard to get these things back. I would say we need a promise to keep it there after the repairs are done. As soon as you open that door for another venue, it is hard to get them back.”
New Brighton Pier and Foreshore Society deputy chairman Tim Sintes: “When it was first being built, they held fireworks while it was still under construction. There must be a solution. If the tide is right, we could have it on a barge in the estuary, so everyone could see it. We want it on the pier, but we could have it there. It’s more than just a fireworks display for us – it’s one of the last things we have. You’ve got to be careful there (bringing in a replacement event) too, because if you bring a replacement to New Brighton you have to think about it affecting the community it was in before. I can’t think of any other community event that could replace the fireworks. I wouldn’t have a replacement event and promises have a habit of being broken around here.”
Burwood-Pegasus Community Board member Linda Stewart: “It’s worth fighting for 100 per cent. If we lose it we’ll find it very hard to get it back. There is always a solution, it’s just if the staff will work on it. No one has come back and said it can’t be held on the pier yet, so there is every possibility it can be done. I don’t know if a replacement event would be that successful. What else brings the whole city to New Brighton? The library is closing too, and I keep waiting for council staff to say ‘here’s the solution’, but they don’t. Probably I think the Santa Parade would be a good replacement, maybe running it from the pier to Rawhiti Domain. I’d take both. I’d like to see replacement events, and then when the repairs are done, the fireworks return to the pier.”

New Brighton inspires surfer turned author FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
NEW POOL: City councillor Yani Johanson, Jack Cleminson, Regan and Liam Glass, and Beau Cole check out the demolished site.
New pool work starts Work has begun on rebuilding the Avebury Park paddling pool in Richmond. The pool, on Evelyn Cousins Ave, has been closed since it was damaged beyond repair after the February 2011 earthquake. The demolition of the old pool began last Tuesday and was completed last Friday. The new facility will be rebuilt with new concrete surrounds, new seating areas, a new access ramp and a large shade sail. The original plant room and existing fencing will be reused. It is expected the new paddling pool will reopen towards the end of the year, in time for the summer months. Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said the pool had been missed by the community and it would

be great to have it back up and running. “I know that many parents have taken their children to the pool over the years and that it has been sorely missed, especially with all of the hot days we’ve had recently,” she said.

If you were a surfer hanging around New Brighton beach in the 1970s you may recognise some of the characters in a new novel based on the area. Leon Paulin, 62, has released his new book Shooting Albatrosses, which he says does have characters that are “loosely” based on real life people that influenced his own childhood. The novel is about a young surfer taking on the waves at New Brighton, Scarborough and Taylors Mistake, while battling his own problems. “It is kind of loosely based on my experiences from the time. The characters have kind of little essences of real people in them. It’s a fictitious story with my background knowledge of the areas,” he said. Mr Paulin said it can be strange when a reader asks if the characters are based on real people they know. “People have since come up to me and said is this character based on such and such, or that reminds me of this person – it’s quite strange. It’s not intentional,” he said. He used his “extensive” knowledge of the coastal suburbs of Taylors Mistake, Scarborough and New Brighton while writing the post-earthquake story. “I was a bit of a surfer back in the day – my mates and I would mainly hang out around New Brighton Beach. “We used to live in North New Brighton on Bowhill Rd, and then Keyes Rd near New Brighton, before moving to Oamaru,” he said. Mr Paulin said the story was unique, but still “in a way, typically Kiwi”. “It’s basically about a teenage boy that’s been deserted by his father and has to look after

his mother. While he tries to do that, he also tries to prove himself to his father. It’s very kiwi in a way,” he said. Shooting Albatrosses is Mr Paulin’s first published book, which he is “quite excited” about, although he has written others which haven’t been published. The book can be found online at www.amazon.com, searching for Shooting Albatrosses.

Amputee’s story told Haeata 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 of her feet, but they were 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 co-ordinators, who can be contacted on www.af.org.nz.
NEW HELP: Amputee Society of Canterbury and Westland president Mark Bruce is helping promote a new source of information for parents.

Haircuts for Haircuts Celebrating 30 years of great service
H
aircuts for Haircuts are celebrating – this year, they turn 30. That’s 30 years of reasonably-priced great haircutting and 30 years of awesome, friendly customer service. It is rare for a small business to be so successful for so long - Michelle has been the driving force behind the two cutting bars for the three decades. She believes
they have done so well because they go above and beyond for their customers. “We are already affordable, but we offer discounts for pensioners, university students and children on top of that,” she explains. “We are here for the whole family and we offer a welcoming, friendly atmosphere to make the experience enjoyable.” It’s easy and convenient, too. Because
they are located in the Bush Inn Centre and South City Mall, getting a haircut can be combined with shopping and running errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days a week and there’s no need to be tied to an appointment. Just head on in, take your place and sit and relax while you wait. There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at any time, so you’re never waiting for long. But it’s much more than that – all their staff are fully-qualified, professional stylists and they focus on nothing but hair cutting. That means they have expertise and will take the time to find out what you want and give you the best advice. They can deliver trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a client requests. They pride themselves on the positive experience they offer so that clients leave them looking good and feeling great. The salons are up to the minute, but

WORLD CHAMP: Ethan De Rose (second from right) recently won two junior world development speed skating gold medals.
Ice skater celebrates birthday with gold FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Shirley Boys’ High School year 10 student Ethan De Rose celebrated his 14th birthday by becoming a youth world champion. Speed ice skater De Rose became the 500m and 1000m sprint world youth champion, when he competed in two competitions in Melbourne. He also won a bronze medal when he competed in the age grade above. De Rose took to the ice for the International Skating Union’s World Development Short Track Speed Skating Trophy, and then the tri series competition the following weekend. In the first competition, he blitzed the preliminary heats for the 1000m, winning by more than 10sec. He followed that up by a 3sec win in the A final, earning him his first gold medal. The 500m sprint competition was a lot closer though, and as there were no preliminary heats, only a straight final, De Rose said he was happy to come away with a win by just a third of a second. “Yeah, really happy. I actually got my
personal best in the 500m sprint. I did it in 47.8sec, which is only 0.8sec away from a junior Olympic qualification time,” he said. De Rose competed against international skaters in both the short track speed skating trophy and the tri series. He celebrated his 14th birthday while in Australia in the lead-up to the tri series competition. “I’ve been to Australia a lot of times, this time I turned 14 . . . my parents didn’t really mind, they were pretty happy I was doing well,” he said. De Rose trains “well over” 10 hours a week at the Alpine Ice Sports Centre in Opawa. During the tri series, De Rose skated against 15 and 16-year-olds, and finished a respectable third place, and ranked seventh overall. From here, he plans to become a world champion. “I’m trying to get my time down so I can go to the junior world champs . . . The next step after the junior worlds is the senior worlds, with the top skaters in the world – I aim to be there one day,” he said.

Be More Effective
PAULGER COURTS Manage your timeRETIREMENT VILLAGE with Debbie Mayo-Smithh
How can you effectively manage your busy day? Time management is not necessarily working “harder,” but rather, “smarter.” Here are five time management mistakes we should all avoid to increase our daily success both on and off the job. 1. Starting your day without a plan of action. Time management is doing the right things initially. 2. Losing balance in your life. Our lives comprise seven vital areas that need balance. These areas include health, family, financial, intellectual, social, professional, and spiritual. 3. Working with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one-and-a-half hours per day looking for things or being distracted by things. Endurance cycling sleep. 4.

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

Boost circulation and gently exercise while you sit – it’s so easy! FOR Pain & stiffness Swollen ankles Night cramps Painful hands Balance & mobility Sore legs/numb feet Travel & office sitting
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

define Nurse Maude Nurse Maude has been caring for the people of Canterbury since 1896.

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.

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.
