Final touches

Pathway concerns ignored – residentsBY EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Upset Redcliffs residents say their Coastal Pathway concerns have been ignored by the city council.

Beachville Rd and Celia St res-idents are worried about a plan to turn their green space into a skate park, Redcliffs Residents’ Association chairwoman Pat McIntosh said.

“The pathway itself isn’t a problem but with all of the other things it will spoil our views and

make it no longer a nice place to wander.”

She said local feedback has been lumped with wider Christ-church in a “skewed report”.

“We were starting to feel a mismatch between our feedback and the report to the city council. Now we’ve discovered this pro-cess is more than a little flawed.”

The final plan is likely to go to the community board for ap-proval in December.

City council spokesman Ross Herrett said it is not always pos-

sible to accommodate every person’s individual wish or view-point.

He said after the draft concept plan for the pathway was re-leased, they organised an exten-sive phase of community consul-tation.

“The city council has consid-ered the views and preferences of submitters in developing a brief for designers, which includes some final adjustments to the concept plan in response to the feedback.”

Changes include:• The decision to remove all

cabbage trees from the design.• Retention of four parking

spaces at Beachville boat ramp for vehicles with boat trailers.

• Design to maximise natural-isation of the available space at Beachville Rd opposite Redcliffs Park.

• Car parking along Beachville Rd to be retained.

• A traffic calming build on Beachville Rd to be removed.

Sumner’s long-awaited business boost may be here with the new Sumner Sunday Mar-ket which started last weekend.

It was a fantastic day for the area, coordi-nator Colette Doughty said.

“It was amazing, there was so many peo-ple and the feedback has been fantastic. I feel like maybe we’re turning a corner, with the pool and the library coming back and now the market. Our businesses have had their worst winter ever and this is just what they need.”

Around 90 per cent of stallholders live in

the Port Hills, and there is a focus on keep-ing it local while offering a destination for Christchurch residents to enjoy.

All of the stall holders have re-booked to come back next week, Mrs Doughty said.

“It’s a really quality market. The food guys all sold out and there was not a van in sight- it was gorgeous, local and fresh.”

The market was designed to also benefit local stores and coffee shops, which offered market day specials to entice buyers in.

“They were all packed full, and we delib-erately didn’t have any coffee stalls at the

market so people would go to a cafe and buy one,” Mrs Doughty said.

The market was officially opened by Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board chairwoman Sara Templeton, who said it was a great start to the summer.

“Over summer a trip to the market, the shops and the beach will be a real drawcard for Christchurch people wanting a local day out.”

• The market is on every Sunday from 10am-2pm in the centre of the Sumner vil-lage.

Funding securedThe Lyttelton Amphitheatre has secured enough funding to begin developing its site on London St, and the resource consent application for site development is planned to be lodged shortly. It is expected to open by December. The Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board also advised project manager Brian Rick that some local residents are concerned with weeds on-site, he said he would organise for them to removed.

Tradition restoredA 140-year tradition in Sumner was restored recently when St Andrew’s Church brought services back to Sumner. It is using the Sumner School Hall as temporary premises after losing its old venue, the All Saints Church, post-quake. Services every Sunday, 9am at St Andrew’s Church Redcliffs and 10.30am at the Sumner School Hall.

Giraffe sculptureA 1.3m tall giraffe sculpture will be on display at the Redcliffs Library from November 3. It is part of the Christchurch Stands Tall art project which will see similar sculptures pop up around the city over Summer. The Redcliffs giraffe will be decorated by Sumner School pupils.

IN BRIEF

•From page 1• Bike skills/scooter are to be re-

tained.Dr McIntosh said the real prob-

lems haven’t been taken into con-sideration.

“We were told there would be a ‘linear park’ in the plan but we didn’t know it was actually a bike and scooter park. People have said yes to this but they didn’t know

what it was. Everyone here either has no opinion or they are passion-ately against it.”

Dr McIntosh said a workshop was held, but attendees didn’t have the opportunity to view the plans and form their views beforehand.

“We spent most of the time trying to decipher what the plans meant.”

Then she said a meeting was held to view the draft concept plan, but

affected residents weren’t invited in time.

“It was somewhat stacked with the Coastal Pathway supporters themselves.”

Invitations went to key stakehold-ers and were hand delivered to 439 local residents, 54 people attended. Dr McIntosh said local residents were only invited after she asked for them to be included in the meet-

ing. “This issue won’t go away and I will get back to the planners and ask them to speak to the pathway group.”

A further meeting was pencilled in for last week but it was cancelled by the planner, she said.

The city council and Coastal Pathway group have been working on the plans for two years, and say it has been widely well-received.

residents say pathway concerns ignored

BY EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Slip-prone Lyttelton Harbour areas may soon have a solution to stop sediment being washed into the harbour with a new land drainage and sedimentation plan.

Residential areas in Lyttelton, Di-amond Harbour and the bays in be-tween would be affected by the new stormwater management proposal, but it does not currently include ru-ral roads.

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Communi-ty Board chairwoman Paula Smith said that residents are pushing to have those roads included.

“The locals see it as an issue with sediment running off the hill and into the harbour, so we are trying to get the city council’s own roads in-cluded in the plan.”

The proposal relates to normal rain events but does not include extreme weather and flooding, city council spokeswoman Helen Beau-mont said.

“We will primarily be looking at

ways to improve stormwater quality dishcarge into receiving environ-ments.”

But before this can be fully drawn up a stormwater discharge consent for the whole of Christchurch must

be processed.“A whole lot of consents in Christ-

church are all running out at the same time and a global one needs to be done,’’ Ms Smith said.

The next step will be to decide

how stormwater will be managed. Investigations are scheduled to start in 2017, continuing through to 2020.

Part of the investigation will be looking at ways to control sediment loss at the source, so road cuttings will be investigated especially where they are located in settlements.

The investigation was discussed at a joint workshop of the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Communit Board and the city council’s environmental committee last month. It was the result of a council request in June, where the stormwater issues were brought up and a report ordered.

•Diamond Harbour residents have each received a letter in their mailbox outlining a survey of prop-erties to find stormwater pipes be-ing emptied into the sewerage sys-tem.

The city council plans to find the offending downpipes and ask resi-dents to redirect them to a storm-water outlet, at their own cost.

Plan to stop sediment run-off

CLEAR SOLUTION: A plan to stop sediment from the hills running into Lyttelton Harbour is currently being discussed.

Business at the Lyttelton Container Terminal is up from last year, with increases in container volumes, container vessels and inbound cargo.

Container volumes are up 10 per cent for the first quarter of the fi-nancial year, compared to the same time last year.

Container volume was at 92,672 compared to 83,993 last year. This follows a nine per cent growth for the 2013-2014 financial year.

The number of vessel calls for container vessels also increased four per cent with 106 visits in the last three months.

While export cargo remains strong, the first quarter growth was underpinned by 13.6 per cent growth in the inbound volumes. This was from international vol-ume as well as continued growth in domestic volumes.

The full year volume outlook is positive in spite of the recent decision by Kotahi to direct more volume through Timaru Container Terminal, a LCT spokesperson said.

While LCT expects some down-turn in volume, the first quarter result was extremely encouraging.

Outside of the LCT volumes are trending well across the rest of the port.

Logs, cars, fertiliser and grains are all well above last year’s levels, while cement and bulk steel imports continue to grow as the rebuild gains momentum.

CRAZY CRASH: Australian tourists driving on State Highway 75 in Takamatua recently lost control of their car and drove through the barrier railing leading up to the Takamatua Creek Bridge. The vehicle crashed through the railing before rolling down a steep bank and landing in the creek below. Fortunately the vehicle came to a stop on all four wheels and the creek was shallow at the time, a police spokesperson said. Police, Fire Service and ambulance attended the crash. The driver was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital and later discharged with minor injuries.

Lucky landing

Sumner volunteer Darren Wright is hanging up his hat as the resi-dents’ association chairman and throwing himself into a new role at the local fire brigade.

He was recently made the deputy Chief Fire Officer at the Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade, and said he needed to cut back on his workload.

“I’ve got a family, my wife and three kids, and they’re really good

with supporting me and allowing me to do this work. But I needed to cut back a bit so I’m not always busy.”

Sumner Community Residents Association events co-ordinator Colette Doughty said although it was a big loss, Mr Wright’s influence will

still be felt in Sumner.“He has been a fantastic

advocate and great helper, but he’s still very much there supporting in the village.”

Sumner resident Bryan Kaschula has taken on the vacant role for his first time on the residents’ as-sociation.

“Him and his wife Susan do a

lot to help and I think he’ll be re-ally good as chair,” Mrs Doughty said.

Mr Wright is still keeping his other roles – looking after finance and property on the Sumner School board of trustees, being a community representative for the Residential Advisory Service governance team and the chair-man of the CERA Community Forum group.

BY EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

A Lyttelton couple whose car went up in flames in an alleged arson fire recently say they are “absolute-ly humbled” by the support they have received since the inci-dent.

More than $2500 has been raised for the pensioner couple by generous people and businesses after a Givealittle page was set up to help them buy a new car.

Bob Jamieson, 73, and his wife Marie, 70, were left without means of transport after their only vehicle was destroyed. Mrs Jamieson has a physical disability that means she cannot walk far.

Mr Jamieson was alerted to the fire in the early hours of October 10, by a neighbour who had heard a dull thud and spotted flames outside.

The Fire Service was called and the blaze put out, but the sight of the charred remains of the Toyota Starlet made the couple feel “absolutely sick” and left them in a tough spot financially.

“The insurance company said that unless they catch the arson-ist they can’t pay us out. Police won’t really find them – there’s no evidence or witnesses, we’re both retired and we’re really reliant on what people will give. We can’t think of why anyone would do this to us,” Mr Jamieson said.

The fire was one of a spate of them that morning, stretching from Rolleston to Lyttelton from 1am onwards.

Two fire engines attended a ga-rage fire on Selwyn St, Addington around 1am, where they found the building up in flames.

That incident was followed by two wheelie bin fires on Tennyson St, Rolleston, at 3.40am and 4am.

If you have information on the fires phone Christchurch police on 363 7400 or to report anony-mously phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

• The goal is to raise $4500 for the Jamieson’s new car. To donate, go to givealittle.co.nz/cause/forbob

WATCH OUT: This sinkhole on Maffeys Rd, Mt Pleasant, opened up recently after a water pipe burst under the tar seal. A resident who lives a few doors up from the site, Ali Davies, said she noticed a crack in the road a few hours before it opened up. A construction truck was driving along the road when it caved in. Water continued pouring down the road until the mains were turned off, running down to McCormacks Bay Rd. The hole was big enough to fit a small car. Ms Davies said it took seven truckloads of gravel to fill the hole, and City Care was working until 11pm that night to fill it. The road was closed until it was filled in.

INSPIRED: The Sumner Girl Guides recently planted 30 ngaio trees as part of an inaugural planting with help from the city council. Over the past year they have been helping Forest & Bird with planting and rubbish clearing at Calder Green Reserve, and were inspired by this to adopt their own reserve on the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. The planting was done with donated trees and the help of Trees For Canterbury and Forest & Bird.

THESE DEALS WONT LAST MUST END LABOUR DAY!

THESE DEALS WONT LAST MUST END LABOUR DAY!


Reconstruction of Ferry Rd began on Sunday and is expected to con-tinue for two weeks.

The area, between Humphreys Drive and the Dyers Rd round-about - the length of the Ferrymead shops - will be closed from 7pm to 6am while the work is done.

A detour will be in place via Dy-ers Rd, Linwood Ave and Hum-phreys Drive during night hours.

Ferry Rd will be restored to two-way traffic outside of these hours, with all work being done at night due to high traffic volumes.

Access to the restaurants, bars and gyms at Waterman Place busi-ness complex will have access through Ferry Rd from the Dyers Rd roundabout.

Residents of Tussock Lane and Settlers Crescent are advised to en-ter and exit Settlers Crescent at the Sumner end and travel via the de-tour route during night hours.

You may experience traffic delays during this work, so allow more time for your journey.

• Upcoming work includes a sec-tion of Ferry Rd at the intersection of Charlesworth St, which will im-pact residents in Charlesworth St, Olds Place and Brookhaven. Affect-ed households will receive a notice with information on the work and associated traffic impacts.

Ferry Rdworks begin

The largest concrete pour at the Lyttelton Port of Christchurch since the early 1990s was made re-cently at Cashin Quay 2 wharf.

An area of 375 cu m was filled by 75 trucks, to form the first 11m of the new wharf at the Container Terminal.

The concrete is 1m thick and 34m wide, and will take around 28 days to fully cure.

The new wharf will be delivered in stages, with the aim of com-pleting the first 57m section by mid December to allow increased berthing options.

When it is finished towards the end of next year, it will be 230m long and a much deeper, stronger and more resilient structure.

LPC chief Peter Davie said the rebuild is a key project for the port, and will increase operational effi-ciency.

“It is also an important step in expanding the port to meet de-mands for future growth.”

Piling is now complete for the first 57m of the wharf.

Another 184 piles will be driven into the harbour to complete the Cashin Quay 2 wharf.

SET : Lyttelton Port of Christchurch had its largest concrete pour in decades recently, with a section of the new Cashin Quay 2 wharf built.

BY TANYA JENKINS, AVON-HEATHCOTE ESTUARY IHUTAI TRUST

A fabulous opportunity is coming up for McCormacks Bay locals and everyone driv-ing over the causeway passing the nature reserve.

On the evening of October 30 a public meeting is to be held, where city council park rangers Rodney Chambers and Andrew Crossland will present plans for the en-hancement of McCormacks Bay.

The estuary trust is keen to organise plant-ing and maintenance events to assist the rangers in this task.

This kind of collaboration has been proven very successful at the nearby Charlesworth Wetland Reserve and we can duplicate this format for the area.

We will meet at 7pm at the yacht club in Moncks Bay, come along and find out how

locals and city council rangers can work together to beautify this much neglected nature reserve.

Another date to note in your diary is the upcoming public meeting to be hosted by the estuary trust.

You are welcome to come along to the yacht club on November 12 at 7pm. Three Canterbury University students will be pre-senting their PhD studies on estuary related topics.

For more information email [email protected]

Little River resident Lily Norman’s (right) fundraising for her Fiji volunteer trip is going well, with $4000 raised towards the $7000 goal already.

The year 13 Lincoln High School student will work as a teacher aide for seven months through Latitude Global Volunteering next year. She needs to raise the money to cover costs while overseas.

Some of it she has fronted up with herself, as well as organising

fundraising events and approaching charitable or-ganisations on the Peninsula and further afield.

Her next venture to raise funds is a gar-den tour in Little River, featuring five beautiful local gardens and award-winning produce from the

Peninsula to sample at each.The garden tour is a special one-

off event, which will be the final push to get Lily to her target in time for the volunteer trip.

The tour will be on December 7 from 10am to 4pm.

Tickets limited to 100, $40 per person, to book phone Faye Nor-man on 325 1373.

As I write I am sitting at my desk with the window open. The smell of lilac blooms is drifting in and I am thinking: How good is this?

Our garage sale was very successful and has enabled us to make a donation to the New Zealand Antarctic Society. A new brochure on Lyttelton’s connections to Antarctica is available from the Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre, as is the children’s book Dogs of the Vastness – Ice Dogs of Lyttelton. A bronze statue of a sled dog will soon be placed in Lyttelton and our club is very happy to support this project.

We are looking forward to marshalling at the Targa motor-sports on October 27. It is the first time this road race has been held in the South Island. It starts at the Sign of the Kiwi and ends at the intersection of Millers and Withells Rds. Road closures will operate from 12.15pm to 4.45pm so be aware of this if you are heading in that direction. Do come and watch the cars whizz past!

To celebrate Neighbourhood Week we are holding a free sau-sage sizzle on November 2 start-

ing at 11am. Lyttelton SuperValue is kindly allowing us to operate outside the store and there will be a musician to liven things up. Do drop in and say hello to us and to other members of the community and grab a bite to eat.

Our club has joined the Lyttelton Timebank and we hope this will enable us to be more in touch with community needs, and for the community to be more aware of us.

If you are interested in finding out more about Lions clubs, phone our president Peter Gamble on 942 1425 or phone me on 328 8523.

Enjoy the lovely spring weather.

FILLING THE BOXES: Lyttelton School pupils George Reid, Hana Hollister, Evie Townley and Sophie George planting trees and shrubs in Albion Square.

TEAMWORK: Pupil Jule Mi-chel-Bouchet and landscaper Sally Davies work together.

BUSY: Georgia Brand, Lottie Ward and Rafi Wright-Stow helping out.

Helping hand for squareAlbion Square is growing as it pro-gresses towards its early Novem-ber opening date.

A bit of greenery was added to the area in Lyttelton when 24 Lyttelton School pupils were invit-ed to fill four planter boxes on site.

The city council organised the project and had landscapers come along to teach the pupils, aiming to teach them the significance of the community facility as well as encourage them to use it.

The square on London St is set to open in early November after work finishes late this month.

It will feature a carved entrance way, stage and terraces, play areas, the Lyttelton War Memorial Ceno-taph and the historic 160-year-old St Joseph’s Catholic Church bell.

Local materials have been used in the square’s construction, in-cluding beams from the wharf and paving designs based on a floun-der weaving pattern reflecting Rapaki and Lyttelton Harbour.

Aaron's surf report

BY AARON LOCK, SURF COACH, SUMNER

Spring is here and the ocean has jumped back to life.

We’ve had consistent, small waves most days lately with wind swells from the north. The banks at Taylors Mistake can’t be very good at the moment because out at Scarbor-ough the shortboarders have been out num-bering the longboarders some days – some-thing I haven’t seen in many years.

The spring surf kicked off at the end of September with a great east swell. It peaked at 4m one day with huge sets pushing into Taylors Mistake and up the coast toward New Brighton. The Canterbury University Boardriders Association had to cancel their night surfing event due to too much surf.

The water is really warming fast. We should expect the water to warm one degree each week from here. Labour weekend is tra-ditionally a good time to take the booties off.

The Canterbury Scholastic Surf Team placed third overall at the nationals in Ta-ranaki over the holidays.

The team of school-aged surfers have been training hard all winter to achieve what is one of their best results ever. Harrison Whiteside

of Redcliffs placed second in the under-18 boys. Harrison was unlucky not to win the title, leading for most of the final but then getting pipped at the post by Mt Maunganui’s Jordan Griffin who won by just 0.1 points on his last wave.

New Brighton’s Connor McLennan won the under-14 boys. Max Marshal of Taylors Mistake made the semi-finals of the un-der-18 boys surfing strong and smooth to place fifth overall. Another Taylors Mistake surfer, Charlie Sleigh, travelled as reserve for the team.

The South Island Circuit kicks off at La-bour weekend for the annual Cape Classic at Tauranga Bay in Westport. The event is fa-mous for huge waves and tough paddle outs. Entry forms at www.sisa.co.nz

The ASP World Tour is in Europe this

month. The world title race is being led by a Brazilian for the first time, with Gabriel Me-dina leading the points ahead of veteran and 11-time world champ, Kelly Slater. Slater is still in the hunt but needs to beat Medina at each competition to have a chance at win-ning.

At the last event, the Quicksilver Pro in France, both Slater and Medina dropped out in the quarter finals so Medina is looking more likely to win the title. This week they move to Portugal. The competitions are now screened live on Sky Sport or streaming at aspworldtour.com.

The weather is likely to continue the nor’west/sou’west pattern over the next few weeks so small surf is likely but keep your eye on the ocean for those short-lived north swells we’ve been getting lately.

SURFING SUCCESS: Already recognised as one of New Zealand’s top young surfers, Harri-son Whiteside of Redcliffs recently came 2nd in the under-18 boys division at the Scholas-tic Surf Championship nationals in Taranaki over the school holidays.

Hi Peter, tell me what your next film is about?

I’m still right in the middle of production of it now. I’m looking at the central city and the rebuild of the CBD and how it all meas-ures together going forward. The film looks at what cities are, and in Christchurch we’ve found that cities aren’t just about buildings, but also people. I’m making the documentary for film festival and theatrical release, as well as hope-fully screening it on television. I’ve been filming that for the last year and have just got a little more to do, but I’m about to go into editing. I really hope to have it out and playing the New Zealand Film Festival next year.

What inspired you to make a film about Christchurch?

I’m just fascinated with the huge challenge of building a brand new city from scratch and finding

a balance between creating the infrastructure, and ensuring it has a healthy and vibrant community. I’m seeing all the work of artists, and the Gap Fillers, the Life in Vacant Spaces . . . I’m fascinated with what’s going on there. I find the environment visually fascinat-ing and dynamic; the energy of the place is interesting as well. I wanted my next project to be a big story that would appeal to people around the world. This is an issue that a lot of people can relate to.

What’s your background? Where did you grow up?

I was one of the first stu-dents through the Christchurch Polytechnic doing the broadcast-ing course in 1989. But I spent the first 10 years of my life work-

ing on the land. My first job was on Molesworth Station next to Hanmer Springs doing mustering, fencing, and shearing. Then I got into television production when I was 28 – a bit of a late starter. I live in Linwood at the moment, but I was in Sumner for many years.

That’s an interesting transi-tion.

I was always destined to be telling stories, but I also love the land and I’ve always related to the people working on the ground. A lot of the work I’ve done in this industry has been around that. I shoot for Country Calendar, I produce Heartland stories in the provinces.

What interests you more – people or the environment?

It’s both. It’s people that inter-est me, but I also really enjoy the environment. I know that you do tend to be put into pigeon holes, but I don’t think I’m either. Urban, contemporary stories interest me too.

Tell me about your last film – The Last Ocean?

The Last Ocean is still touring overseas. It actually won an award in Italy just last week. It’s cur-rently screening at a film festival in Bristol, England – the home of natural history – at the moment. The film calls for the protection of the Ross Sea in Antarctica, an issue that is still on the table. In 10 days time we will find out wheth-er a large marine protected area will be established. I spent seven

years of my life putting it together, but it was something I just needed to do. There was a whole team of us that worked on it and it was great to be able to bring that issue to life. Hopefully we can make a change.

You also run your own production company – Fisheye Films – what kind of challenge is that?

Fisheye Films is a very small production company; a boutique production company. We shrink and grow depending on the amount of work on our books. You need to be flexible and be able to shrink and grow. My wife, Tracy, and I will be trying to build up Fisheye shortly, but it’s a very up-and-down business.

Film-maker tells of city’s

GLOBAL: Peter Young during the filming of his documentary The Last Ocean in the Ross Sea, which is currently shown around the world.

While his film The Last Ocean is being shown in film festivals around the world, former Sumner resident and documentary film-maker Peter Young is already working on a follow-up – a close-up look at the the city’s rebuild. He talked to Max Towle


I do freelance documentary camerawork which keeps us going.

Is this an unstable profession?

The most important skill in this game is your self determination. You have to have a fire in your belly to keep going. You’re not 100 per cent, you’re 110 per cent. It’s a hard game, but it’s also a really challenging and rewarding one too.

What do you still hope to achieve?

I want to be able to get up and find myself being challenged and still find stories that I want to tell and make a living from it. The living part is just as important. I don’t have any big end goal, really, I just want to make sure that the day I get up and don’t enjoy it is the day I stop.

What projects are you most proud of?

I think The Last Ocean is something I’m very proud of. I directed Hunger for the Wild (an award-winning show on TVNZ) which was a wonderful series. The final tribute documentary for Sir Edmund Hillary, which I shot, was a privilege to work on. Country Calendar is something I’ve been involved in for more than a decade – I

love shooting that.Is it a tough gig?It’s quite difficult physically

as I’m getting older . . . but to tell you the truth, I never think of how it’s difficult. It’s challenging work, yes, but so rewarding. I have to make sure that I’m capturing the moment and stories that best reflect the situation and what will translate into the final documentary. I‘ve already been out more than 120times in central Christchurch for this project. I’m capturing something that’s evolving. At first, I’m just capturing events, then as the story becomes clearer, then I can really focus on what the final product is going to become.

What do you love about central Christchurch?

I love the 185 Empty Chairs, the Dance-O-Mat, the Pallet Pavilion, I love the cathedral as it is, the artwork . . . the classic landmarks, really. I think anyone who goes out and does a little bit of work to make someone else’s life a little lighter is a bit of a hero. The reason they’ve become iconic symbols in post-quake Christchurch is because they really work.

Where is the most

memorable place you’ve travelled to?

The Ross Sea in Antarctica based on the fact that it is so untouched and pristine and you are watching it in its amazing natural environment. You witness nature in its purest form. Everything is there for a reason and has a place in the ecosystem. To see something like that is a privilege these days.

You’ve shot a few music videos too – for bands including The Phoenix Foundation and Opshop – how different is that type of work?

I haven’t done those for awhile, but I really enjoyed doing them. The last video I shot was about eight years ago. It’s quite different, but when you’re shooting you apply the same basic principles of filming. Music videos were great fun. You meet so many interesting people and I really love music.

What are your hobbies away from work?

Just spending time with my family. We go wherever our two young boys take us. I love the garden, I love the beach . . . I actually haven’t surfed since I started doing The Last Ocean, so I would love to do that again one day.

in turn affects our immune system,” Simone says, “and an overactive or underactive immune system can make us more susceptible to allergy problems and autoimmune disease.”

for half an hour and is tailored to the individual client, with Simone or one of her qualified team members selecting the herbal treatments according to the client’s specific requirements.

“When we treat the gut and the liver, the immune system benefits. Although people with seasonal allergies caused by pollen may still need to take antihistamine, the detoxification will make the antihistamine more effective,” Simone says.

“There are many other benefits from detoxification too. People find they have more energy, they sleep better, their blood will be a lot clearer and their metabolism will improve.

“People can also lose weight with detoxification because they lose excess fluid, and the fat cells, where the toxins are stored, are broken down as the toxins are released.”

The Apothecary has been in operation for a year at The Tannery, and Simone says people’s interest in herbal treatments is increasing as they realise how they can improve their health by drinking herbal teas and taking other herb-based products.

She and the other herbalists offer advice on the most appropriate herbs for particular purposes, and they offer customers the chance to sample a refreshing herbal tea

while they chat. The Apothecary is open every day from

9am to 5.30pm. Bookings for detoxification can be made by phoning 389 0857 or calling in at the store.

The Board Room, he will showcase 14 stunning and challenging paintings.

The artist suggests that the key to his work is passion. He says people can mistake passion for arrogance and it is better to let the work talk for itself. He operates in a different world from other people because of his practice and mindset, he says, which leaves him finding it difficult to interact with others verbally in fear of being misunderstood. He hopes the viewer will find truth in his work.

“Ultimately, all artists ever want is for people to understand their work the way the artist sees or intends it,” he says.

The painted board theme is a relatively new concept, and Michael believes he has

New exhibition ‘stunning and challenging’

finally found the right vehicle to express his thoughts. These paintings with a New Zealand flavour are painted on wooden packing case lids and are heavily textured.

In his paintings, old and new worlds are merging and the viewer is likely to see recurring themes of sofas, sperm whales and ever-present dreamboats.

There are also three-dimensional orbs that weigh heavy on our souls yet remain suspended and are intended to make us think about ourselves. Luminous traces of gold, bronze and silver permeate the surface of translucent seas of overlapping circles. Faceless shadowy figures appear behind veils, gesturing their actions and deep thoughts.

Michael is always exploring and pushing the boundaries with his work and is known mainly for his large elaborate canvases that depict interior/exterior motives of a New

Zealand oceanic world. These paintings are purchased quickly and unfortunately don’t get viewed at length by the wider public.

This new exhibition is raw and honest and comes from a place of passion and integrity, Magma Gallery director Barbara Simsch says, and they are excited about mounting the exhibition.

“Michael Holland is an undeniable talent operating from a conscious state that he

calls ‘The Practice’, which produces striking, subconscious, resonating works that are captivating. We are pleased to exhibit the paintings of this recognised talent and invite people to experience a fascinating collection.”

The Ferrymead Bays masters foot-ball team won gold at the South Is-land Masters held last weekend in Timaru.

The team did not concede a goal in their five games played over two days.

They convincingly beat local ri-vals Cashmere Technical in the fi-nal 1-0, with golden boot winner Dale Stuthridge scoring the winner late in the second half.

This continues Ferrymead’s proud record in both the South Is-land and national masters tourna-ments.

The Timaru masters competition concludes the 2014 football season. Bays’ best performing senior team over the season was the division two team who retained the knock-out cup from last season and nar-rowly missed out on the league and cup double, finishing runners-up in the league to Western.

The division two team may still gain promotion to division one next season if Western don’t feel they have the resources for the higher division.

The Premier team finished the season with a credible third place in coach Danny Halligan’s first sea-

son. At the end of season awards evening goalkeeper Adam High-field won premier player of the year, defender Shane Gibbons was supporters’ player of the year and Michael White was the players’ player of the year.

Chris Murphy got a unique award for being the first player in Bays history to have played more than 200 first team games in the premier division.

Highfield also won the Mainland Football goalkeeper of the year

ward, while striker Michael White was runner up for the golden boot, with 14 goals.

The club’s junior prizegiving was held recently at the Ferrymead Speight’s Ale House.

All junior teams gave out awards

for most improved and players of the year, with Reilly Ward taking home the trophy for most promis-ing junior girl.

Those gathered also heard from Simon Gerathy, marketing offi-cer for next year’s FIFA under-20 world cup who spoke about Fer-rymead Park being used as a train-ing base for one of the participating national teams and the develop-ment of a world-class sand-based pitch there, and Peter Edge from @HeartCanterbury, who spoke about the charity and its relationship with Ferrymead Bays.

Bays juniors Joe Hoole, Mikaele Rabuka, Jack Chapman, Ethan Mo-scrop-Giblin and Eamonn Cam-eron recently took part in the New Zealand Football National Talent Centre camp in Oamaru.

This was for top-level players from Nelson to Invercargill, and in-volved two daily training sessions, evening workshops and football theory classes aimed at improving players’ understanding and testing their talent against their peers.

This year the Ferrymead Bays annual general meeting will be held on November at 7.30pm at the Ferrymead Speights Ale House. All members are welcome and encour-aged to attend.

HEALTH

A THIRD of patients who have surgery to remove cancerous tumours end up with microscopic pieces left behind. These over-looked remnants can lead to the recurrence of cancer after what was thought to have been success-ful surgery.

Two surgeons at the University of Pennsylvania have tried to solve this problem. Their solution: mak-ing tumours glow.

Using a combination of inject-able dyes and high resolution cam-eras, the surgeons found a way to image tumours during surgery and more easily identify their margins. They published their findings in the journal PLoS One.

“Once you get into surgery you’ve only got your eyes and your hands to tell you where the margin of the cancer is,” says David Holt, lead author of the study and professor of surgery at the Penn School of Veterinary Medicine. Tumours could be studied before surgery with MRIs or CT scans, but these images were helpful only to a certain extent, he says.

After an initial study in mice,

Holt used the new imaging tech-nology on eight dogs with natu-rally occurring lung tumours. Holt and his team injected the dogs with indocyanine green, a dye that accumulates in tumours more than in other tissues because of their leaky blood vessels. The dye c emits light in wavelengths that cannot be seen by human eyes. But when the doctors shined a near-infrared light on the tumours during surgery they glowed an “In-credible Hulk green” on computer screens linked to the cameras.

With the help of this real-time image, Holt could make decisions about where to make incisions during surgery on the dogs. The successful dog study led to ap-proval for a human clinical trial run by Sunil Singhal, a co-author on the study and assistant profes-sor of surgery at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.

Using the same technology, which he compared to night vision goggles, Singhal examined lung and chest tumours in five human patients and the tumours fluo-resced strongly.

Singhal also used this imaging approach in another study pub-lished in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery. In two out of 18 patients with lung cancer, the imaging system helped surgeons identify

cancer in areas that had previously been undetected.

Singhal is already exploring its applications in other cancers, in-cluding breast cancer. He has seven open clinical trials using dyes to

image tumours during surgery. This type of imaging does not

involve radiation, making it safe to use for most patients, even preg-nant women.

But the dye Holt and Singhal used can be detected at depths of only 10mm to 15mm in tissues, leaving deeper areas unexplored.

Also, the dye does not specifical-ly bind to tumour cells so adjacent tissues can also collect dye.

Singhal and Holt plan to use targeted dyes in future studies that are molecularly selective for tu-mour cells as well as continuing to improve their camera technology.

My3-year-old hasdecided she doesn’twant to stay in bed! Iput her to bed at nightwith a story and ourusual routine, butafter about half anhour she’s sneakingdown the hallway. Itake her straight backto bed and say “No, it’sbedtime”, but we gothrough this about fiveor six times a night.

— KerryFortunately you’re not alone—this happens tomost parents.Bedtime battles with toddlersand young children can beexhausting, swallowing up yourevenings and your energy.While many books

recommend the super nannyapproach of taking the childback to bed over and over, I findthis technique time consumingandmany children see it as agame.I recommend a gentle and

gradual approach, where youcommit to staying with yourchild and enjoying a relaxedbedtime routine together. Overtimework towards herbecoming comfortable andgetting used to settling to sleepwithout you there.Have a quiet wind down after

dinner, with a bath if you findthat relaxes her. Then threestories together in her bed, soshe gets calm and sleepy. At thisstage I would put some bedtimemusic on repeat or a Dinosnoreschildren’s relaxation CD to giveher something to focus on. Usinga nightlight and cuddly are veryhelpful at this age.Then lie with her as she

calms down and falls asleep.Most children of this age justwantmum or dadwith them asthey fall asleep and once youcommit to staying, theywill stopall the battling and getting up. Ifshe starts to get up, say youwillleave if she does. Over a fewnights you can start to sit on thebed, then next sit on a chair bythe bed. After a week or so youcan try a pop out: say somethinglike, “Mumwill just pop out toget a quick drink, I’ll be back in asecond” and return after about30 seconds. Gradually increasethe length and frequency of thepop outs and your daughter willfall asleep without you there.Also try little “bedtime fairy

Popularity of e-cigarettes levels off inUS

HIT: E-cigarettes candeliver a fix.

A government study in the USshows adults who have triedelectronic cigarettesmay belevelling off.The proportion of adults who

have used e-cigarettes rose fromabout 3 per cent to 8 per centfrom 2010 to 2012. But there wasno significant change last year,says the US Centers for DiseaseControl (CDC) and Preventionstudy.The study’s conclusions seem

to parallel a modest decline ine-cigarette sales during thesame period that have beennoted in analyst reports.The findings come from an

annual survey of thousands ofadults. It has been the CDC’sonly source on e-cigarette trends

since the devices started sellingin the US in late 2006.E-cigarettes are battery-

powered devices that producean odourless vapour thattypically contains nicotine, andsometimes flavourings.They are often described as a

less dangerous alternative toregular cigarettes.But e-cigarettes are not yet

regulated by the federalgovernment, and there hasn’tbeenmuch research on them.“The long-term public health

impact of these products isuncertain,” the study’s leadauthor, Brian King, says. But hecalled the levelling off in adultswho have ever tried e-cigarettes“a positive note.”The study also found the

percentage of adults who aredescribed as current e-cigarettesmokers— that is, they saidthey’d used one at least once inthe previous 30 days— has beenhovering at around 2 per cent.Roughly 75 per cent of

current e-cigarette users saidthey also smoked regularcigarettes— and that hasn’tchangedmuch in four years.That finding “raises serious

questions about whether thisproduct is really helping peoplequit”, saysMatthewMyers,president of the Campaign forTobacco-Free Kids.E-cigarettes come in a range

of shapes and sizes, andMyerssays it’s not clear if the study’sparticipants would have countedthings like “vape pens,”“e-hookahs” and “tanks” ase-cigarettes.The studywas released last

month by themedical journal,Nicotine & Tobacco Research.

TRAVEL

Mystified by a thermal wonderlandLinda Hall explores Rotorua and is wowed by the strange and surreal sightsRotorua is marketed as New Zea-land’s coolest little hot spot and after my weekend there, I have to agree. I’ve been to Rotorua before but on this trip my partner Steve and I spent most of our time at Okere Falls, a small community about 21km out of Rotorua on SH33.

Before we arrived in Okere Falls on Friday afternoon, we went to Waimangu Volcanic Valley, 20 minutes’ south of Rotorua.

It was a lovely afternoon, not too hot with barely a breath of wind, as we set off on a selfguided walk through the geothermal park.

The woman at the reception gave us a “Wanderer Guide”, which included a step-by-step, numbered guide packed with information about the sights, birdlife and bush, as well as a timetable for buses for the return trip.

You couldn’t possibly get lost on this well-marked walk. The track is wide and the bush lush and green.

At the beginning of the walk we spotted a tui just metres away from us but it took flight before we had enough time to take a picture.

We were wondering what other birdlife we would see when sud-denly a wood pigeon exploded out of the trees above our heads, star-tling us and making us both laugh as it flew off. What a magnificent start.

The valley is a protected scenic reserve and wildlife refuge.

As we rounded a bend we could feel the heat from Echo Crater and

Frying Pan Lake. It looked surreal. The sun was peeping out from

behind the clouds as mistylooking steam rose from the lake. It really did look like a scene from Lord of the Rings.

I can’t possibly take you step by step through this magnificent place; it’s something you have to experience for yourself.

I will tell you about the highlight of the walk for me— the Inferna Crater Lake is just unbelievable. It is aqua blue and, as I was staring in awe at it, I expected a mermaid to pop up in the middle of it—that’s how utterly unreal it looks.

We made it all the way to Lake

Rotomahana just in time to watch the boat come in on its last cruise.

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk. It’s a perfect place to stop if you are travelling a long way with children.

They can let off some steam and no one will notice in this thermal valley.

We boarded the bus and headed back to the car. A great start to the weekend.

We arrived at our accommo-dation at Okawa Bay at about 5.30pm. VR Rotorua Lake Resort sits off the shore of Lake Rotoiti and is under new management.

Our room was small but clean

and well appointed, with a lovely view of the lake.

The resort is just 15 minutes from central Rotorua and five minutes from the airport.

After unpacking and a change of clothes, we headed for Eat Streat in the heart of Rotorua’s CBD.

The place was humming. The all-weather al-fresco dining area has a retractable roof and geother-mal heating underfoot.

There were so many places to choose from, if we hadn’t had “inside information” we may still have been walking up and down trying to decide where to go.

However, we had been told the

Brew Bar was good, so that’s where we headed.

Inside, it was packed and noisy. We found a seat, ordered a drink, sat back and enjoyed the buzz in the air.

As the name suggests, the Brew Bar brews its own beer and has a good variety, from a great dark coffee beer to the Low Rider.

This low-alcohol beer had a good pilisner taste with a hint of fruit.

The Friday night crowd were drinking, eating, chatting and laughing. It seemed everyone, including us, was having a great time. The food was not bad for pub food and we left an hour or so later with full bellies and smiles on our faces.

Mystified by a thermalwonderland

ROTORUA ismarketedas New Zealand’scoolest little hot spotand after myweekendthere, I have to agree.

I’ve been to Rotorua beforebut on this tripmy partner Steveand I spent most of our time atOkere Falls, a small communityabout 21km out of Rotorua onSH33.Before we arrived in Okere

Falls on Friday afternoon, wewent toWaimanguVolcanicValley, 20 minutes’ south ofRotorua.It was a lovely afternoon, not

too hot with barely a breath ofwind, as we set off on a self-guidedwalk through thegeothermal park.Thewoman at the reception

gave us a “Wanderer Guide”,which included a step-by-step,numbered guide packedwithinformation about the sights,birdlife and bush, as well as atimetable for buses for thereturn trip.You couldn’t possibly get lost

on this well-markedwalk. Thetrack is wide and the bush lushand green.At the beginning of the walk

we spotted a tui just metresaway from us but it took flightbefore we had enough time totake a picture.Wewere wondering what

other birdlife wewould seewhen suddenly a wood pigeonexploded out of the trees aboveour heads, startling us andmaking us both laugh as it flewoff.What amagnificent start.The valley is a protected

scenic reserve andwildliferefuge.As we rounded a bendwe

could feel the heat fromEchoCrater and Frying Pan Lake. Itlooked surreal.The sunwas peeping out

from behind the clouds asmisty-looking steam rose from thelake. It really did look like ascene from Lord of the Rings.I can’t possibly take you step

by step through this magnificentplace; it’s something you have toexperience for yourself.I will tell you about the

highlight of the walk forme—the Inferna Crater Lake is justunbelievable. It is aqua blue and,as I was staring in awe at it, Iexpected amermaid to pop up inthemiddle of it — that’s howutterly unreal it looks.Wemade it all the way to

Lake Rotomahana just in time towatch the boat come in on itslast cruise.We thoroughly enjoyed the

walk. It’s a perfect place to stopif you are travelling a longwaywith children.They can let off some steam

and no onewill notice in thisthermal valley.We boarded the bus and

headed back to the car. A greatstart to the weekend.We arrived at our

accommodation at Okawa Bay atabout 5.30pm. VRRotorua LakeResort sits off the shore of LakeRotoiti and is under newmanagement.Our roomwas small but clean

andwell appointed, with a lovelyview of the lake.The resort is just 15minutes

from central Rotorua and fiveminutes from the airport.After unpacking and a

change of clothes, we headed forEat Streat in the heart ofRotorua’s CBD.The place was humming. The

all-weather al-fresco dining areahas a retractable roof andgeothermal heating underfoot.There were somany places to

choose from, if we hadn’t had“inside information” wemaystill have beenwalking up anddown trying to decide where togo.However, we had been told

the Brew Bar was good, so that’swhere we headed.Inside, it was packed and

noisy.We found a seat, ordereda drink, sat back and enjoyed thebuzz in the air.As the name suggests, the

Brew Bar brews its own beer

and has a good variety, from agreat dark coffee beer to the LowRider. This low-alcohol beer hada good pilisner taste with a hintof fruit.The Friday night crowdwere

drinking, eating, chatting andlaughing. It seemed everyone,including us, was having a greattime.The foodwas not bad for pub

food andwe left an hour or solater with full bellies and smileson our faces.

MOTORING

The battle in New Zealand’s small car market has just inten-sified.

Two of the major challengers in that segment have recently released new-generation models. First it was Honda with the Jazz, now Toyota has landed the latest Yaris.

While sales in the small car segment have suffered a little in recent years thanks to a desire for small SUVs, it is still a key area for nearly all manufactur-ers.

Toyota has slugged it out for years achieving volume sales with Starlet, Echo and lat-terly Yaris. And if you take into account pre-owned and import-ed sales of Vitz then Toyota here is looking pretty comfortable.

The new Yaris hatchback hasn’t lost sight of its design concept, it is small at just under 4m yet it allows for cabin space which is generous for a small car. The Yaris is also func-tional and trendy, with a stylish, cheeky shape.

The newcomer lands pretty much as before with two engine options 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre. I’m due to drive both, the first

out of the blocks is the range-topping 1.5-litre ZR.

In ZR form the Yaris sits at $28,990 with automatic trans-mission, the range starting at $22,990 for the 1.3-litre manual, and $26,990 for the first of the 1.5-litre models.

These prices are competitive especially when you consider the level of specification. Items fit-ted are up the mark for a small car although satellite navigation will add an extra $1000 onto the price.

Under the bonnet lies an engine which is pretty much a carryover from the previous series. There’s nothing wrong with that, it is an efficient engine which is clean and economi-cal. A green eco light mid-dash

lights up when the driver is easy on the throttle, it is there to encourage thrifty fuel use.

Toyota rates it with a com-bined cycle average of 6.3-litres per 100km (45mpg). During my test the trip computer readout was sitting at around a 7.2l/100km (39mpg) average which wasn’t that far distant, with 6.2l/100km available instantaneously at 100km/h, the engine relaxed at 2500rpm in fourth gear.

Yes, the Yaris still retains its four-speed automatic gearbox. Toyota hasn’t been very pro-active about adding more ratios into its range of transmissions, but I guess it is working on the philosophy of if it is working effectively, why change.

And the engine and trans-mission combination do work fluidly together, the ratios are a little broad but the engine at 80kW and 141Nm (6000rpm and 4200rpm respectively) has just enough torque through the mid-range to combat the gaps. Changes are smooth and there is no lag in acceleration, the engine is zingy which translates to an energetic nature through the rev band, it will haul to the 6200rpm redline without becoming overly harsh.

I took the test car on a hilly loop and found it to have an honest and vibrant nature. Not only does the engine give its all when requested, the chassis disguises well its simplicity. I say that because the rear suspension is as you would find in most small cars, a simple torsion beam axle design which doesn’t offer as much freedom as an independent type.

Nevertheless, the spring and damper rates allow for plenty of movement yet absorb well ruts and bumps which is important on New Zealand’s rough roads.

Toyota’s reputation in the small car market is exemplary. As a company it has marketed with product that buyers have flocked to in droves. The Yaris is quality-built and at the same time a fun and serious car to drive. It is also a car which will satisfy in years to come.

Quake Cats: Heartwarming stories of Christchurch cats:by Craig Bullock

this is the story of how a tall, shy youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed legend. En route, John Cleese describes his nerve-racking first public appearance, at St Peter’s Preparatory School at the age of eight and five-sixths; his endlessly peripatetic home life with parents who seemed incapable of staying in any house for longer than six months; his first experiences in the world of work as a teacher who knew nothing about the subjects he was expected to teach; his hamster-owning days at Cambridge; and his first encounter with the man who would be his writing partner for over two decades, Graham Chapman. And so on to his dizzying ascent via scriptwriting for Peter Sellers, David Frost, Marty Feldman and others to the heights of Monty Python.

Punctuated from time to time with John Cleese’s thoughts on topics as diverse as the nature of comedy, the relative merits of cricket and waterskiing, and the importance of knowing the dates of all the kings and queens of England, this is a masterly performance by a former schoolmaster.

A collection of stories about Christchurch cats and the earthquakes – true tales of heroism, odd and quirky stories, funny stories, sad stories – stories that will surprise you, make you chuckle or make you go awwww. There’s Chippy who was found living in an abandoned fish and chip shop in the heart of the Red Zone, eating the old oil, and covered in it.There are the lions and cheetahs of Orana Wildlife Park, who were clearly very disturbed when the huge earthquake struck and the fences banged together, making a fearful sound. The staff were relieved that the power stayed on, keeping the electric fences working so the animals didn’t escape.There’s Max, who wandered about the suburb and found himself a new, loving family; Meisha, who was giving birth when the earthquake struck, and whose owners had to coax her to carry on; inspiring stories of cats who were lost but then reunited with their owners; and stories of the many narrow escapes of miraculous cats with nine lives.There’s a lot of love in this book – cat lovers are a dedicated and passionate breed. And Craig Bullock’s excellent photographs depict this love beautifully; the images are stunning. Part of the proceeds from this book help support Christchurch cat charities which work tirelessly to rehome cats that have become separated from their owners.

[EDITION DATE]2

Her wide experience includes new builds and renovation, and she has worked alongside both building companies and

private customers. She’s pleased to be part of the regeneration of the city so that she can apply her skills and expertise to bring some beauty back to our homes.

Mel has noticed a definite pattern in what her clients want. “In the past, people may have updated one room at a time and been comfortable to do that themselves. Now they have the opportunity to redecorate an entire house and it’s overwhelming. People really want to make sure they get it right.”

So often she has been called in to help work out a new interior and exterior colour scheme for clients who have been given the chance to update their homes as a result of work needing to be done after the Canterbury earthquakes.

Homeowners have also decided they want to make significant changes, and that too is where she comes in.

Mel is able to advise them on current trends in interior and exterior design. “People are now freshening up their look with lighter shades and whites are tending to be warmer. Blue will be big, especially navy, with yellow, red and orange as accent colours. Pastels and soft fresh hues are popular too. Wallpaper is still being

used and we are seeing it on all four walls instead of just a single feature wall. There are some great wallpapers now that mimic timber, brick and slate. As well as colour, adding textures and patterns creates a more interesting look. Nothing is too ‘matchy’,” she explains.

And just where does the inspiration come from? “Fashion,” says Mel. “The colours that you see on the catwalk flow into interior design.”

With such a huge variety of soft furnishings, fabrics, finishes and furniture to choose from, Mel can make the process easier and the results will be stunning. “It’s fantastic to see people move back into homes that are better than before,” she adds.

More than half of us believe we’re above average when it comes to health but the country as a whole doesn’t fare too well,

according to new research by Sovereign.“Our latest research revealed 57 per cent of

Kiwis think that New Zealand, as a nation, is not very healthy, but 53 per cent believe they live a healthier lifestyle than the average New Zealander so it doesn’t apply to them,” says Sovereign chief medical o� cer Dr John Mayhew.

“Interestingly, men rate themselves slightly higher than their female counterparts and 72 per cent of those in Marlborough and West Coast believe their health is above the averageNew Zealander.”

Sovereign’s research also delved into what we believe good health to be, including our understanding of what contributes to a healthy life.

“� ere are documented medical links between happiness and good health. Happier people live longer and experience less heart disease, colds, high blood pressure and other serious illnesses. At Sovereign, more than 30 per cent of our disability income claims are due to mental illness. People need to be more aware of the importance of their happiness and its contribution to our overall health,” says Dr Mayhew.

In another concerning statistic, a signi� cant 66 per cent of people admitted to su� ering from insomnia or broken sleep

healthy and balanced lifestyle. Stay tuned,” says Brewis-Weston.

“Supporting New Zealanders to live healthier lifestyles will not only make a di� erence to each person individually, the lives of their families and communities, but to the country overall. Healthier people need less medical intervention. Healthier communities place fewer burdens on the public health system. Healthy people are happier people and have better wellbeing.”

over the last 12 months.“Not getting enough shut-eye on a regular

basis can have devastating e� ects on your health, including weight gain, insulin resistance and an increased risk of accidents,” says Dr Mayhew.

Encouraged by the � nding that 60 per cent of Kiwis believe they are focusing more on their health now than they did a year ago, Sovereign has launched a new campaign inspiring New Zealanders to take charge of their health and understand the four essentials of a healthy lifestyle: exercise, eating well, sleep and happiness.

Sovereign CEO Symon Brewis-Weston explains the ‘Life. Take charge’ campaign is not aimed at telling Kiwis how to be healthier, it is about giving them tools to do it.

“We have decided it’s time to break the insurance industry mould and begin a movement that encourages Kiwis to take control of their health proactively before they need our help � xing them. Over the coming months, we’ll literally be giving New Zealanders tools that will help them have a

Nautical Insurance The days are getting longer and the weather

is getting better – music to the ears of boaties around the country.

Alongside the work of getting your boat, yacht or jet ski sea worthy, the equally important job of taking out suitable insurance is another job on the ‘to-do’ list.

Everyone with a boat needs to have insurance in place before they get out onto the water, and who better to contact than specialists Nautical Insurance who are now the largest arranger of boat insurance in New Zealand. Nautical Insurance has taken the headache and time out of trying to organise cover through traditional insurers and banks by doing the leg work for you. Wide ranging policy cover, competitive premiums and prompt claim response times has resulted in a large client base giving them excellent buying power. They currently insure more than 6500 powerboats, launches and yachts throughout New Zealand mainly in the South Island. Their concept is to obtain value for money for New Zealand boat

owners getting their clients the best deals and cover.

Their cover is comprehensive and includes protection on the road, on the water and even in storage. Customers are secure in the knowledge that they are protected in the event of fire, burglary, theft or earthquake. Third party collision liability is included and salvage recovery and loss prevention cover is automatically built in. That means that when a claim occurs, Nautical Insurance will work at the sharp end to arrange salvage and recovery, organise assessors and provide immediate advice as to where to go and what to do.

Nautical insurance are based in Christchurch at 62 Riccarton Road. Check out their website www.nautical.co.nz for more information, or ring them on 03 384 1694, free phone 0508 Nautical. Email enquiries are welcome on [email protected].
