New Brighton will again be home to the finish line of the Coast to Coast in 2016 and beyond.

This year was the first time the famous race finished in New Brigh-ton after previously ending in Sum-ner.

The finish line will be set up out-side the New Brighton Library by the pier on the weekend of Febru-ary 12, 2016.

Organisers have also locked in New Brighton past 2016 but could not confirm for how many years.

New Brighton Business and Landowners Association manager Paul Zaanen said it was “wicked.”

Mr Zaanen was a big part of this year’s event, he was the transition manager at the finish line.

He said it was a big part of the summer events calendar for the suburb and to have it confirmed the Coast to Coast was returning was a massive boost.

“The events calendar we’re working on at the moment is fantastic. New Brighton is the place to be and is the new events centre outside of the city centre. It’s exciting to have so many events coming to New Brighton and obviously a lot of local ones are going gangbusters too. So to have more events is good.”

Canterbury rugby’s popular Take a Kid to Footy ticket deal is back for the 2015 ITM Cup season thanks to new sponsor, Fresh Choice.

Fresh Choice will be the official naming rights sponsor for Take a Kid to Footy for at least the next three years.

Take a Kid to Footy tickets are $14 (plus service fee) for one adult and one child. Each additional child is $5.50 each.

There are dedicated Take a Kid to Footy seating areas at AMI Stadium and children get a free goody bag filled with snacks, a drink and a col-lectable for each Canterbury home game.

Tickets will go on public sale for the ITM Cup on Mon-day for individual games.

Canterbury’s first home game is against Counties Manukau on Sunday, August 23 (4.35pm).

Canterbury Rugby chief ex-ecutive Hamish Riach said the union is delighted to have a successful and locally-focused brand like Fresh Choice on board.

“Take a Kid to Footy is such an important product for us because it provides an affordable way for families to get along to the Canterbury games, and FreshChoice is a

great fit,” he said.“With three afternoon home

games this season we expect Take a Kid to Footy tickets to be in high demand, so it will be great to see lots of families coming along to support their team and we are grateful to FreshChoice for helping to make that possible.”

Fresh Choice has three Christchurch stores at Bar-rington, Merivale and Park-

lands. Parklands owner Julian Brown said they are proud to be supporting an initiative that is aimed at making rugby affordable and fun for its youngest fans.

“This has been such a suc-cessful local initiative, making it easier for Canterbury families to get along to the game, and we are pleased to be able to help ensure that it continues.”

SUPPORT: Fresh Choice is the sponsor of Take a Kid to Footy for the next three years.

Taking the kids to footy a good choice

•From page 1Mr Zaanen said the event

worked well in New Brighton as both the event and the suburb are going through a rejuvenation pro-cess.

“That’s such a big part of it, the vision of rejuvenation for New Brighton, and the Coast to Coast, with both in a rejuvenating pro-cess. There is a lot of energy and effort in doing both and that’s bloody exciting.”

There are already plans to im-prove the finish line experience but details on those improvements were not available.

Entries are already open for next year’s Coast to Coast with prizes up for grabs for people who enter before July 31 including a $5000 sponsorship package.

Organisers have also added a school category with the mini-mum age being lowered to 14.

The new category is a team event for three people.

BY FRASER WALKER-PEARCEPolice say they have identified three suspected shoplifters a Dallington liquor store manager locked in his premises.

Detective Wayne Boyd told the Pegasus Post that they were closing in on a 17 and 18-year-old, and a man in his 40s.

They have been identified from security camera footage from the Woodham Rd Liquor Store.

On Wednesday three men alleg-edly stole a bottle of vodka from Mr Singh’s premises, before being locked in, and then breaking out of the store.

Mr Singh said: “I thought if I locked the doors, they would be frightened and give me back the bottle.”

But the men disappeared with the vodka after one of the men was al-leged to have threatened Mr Singh with a knife.

On Thursday Detective Boyd said police expected to find two of the suspects “in the coming days.”

“The shop had really good CCTV footage, which enabled us to identi-fy them (the suspects). I wish every dairy and liquor store had CCTV as good as that.”

Suspects identified ▌▌ IN BRIEF

RoadworksTwo Aranui streets, Doreen St and Marlow Rd, will only be open to traffic one-way from today. Traf-fic will only be able to travel east along Doreen St and north along Marlow Rd. SCIRT will be repair-ing footpaths, kerbs and the road with the work taking until Oc-tober. Once those two streets are finished SCIRT will then move to Merrington Cres and Betty Pl. Driveway access may be restricted at times during the work and prop-erty owners will notified before this happens.

Bus stopsDallington Residents’ Association member Philip Haythornthwaite will tonight (Monday) make a dep-utation to the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board about relocat-ing unused bus stops along New Brighton to Burwood Park and Lake Terrace Rd. He has submit-ted a proposal to relocate the bus shelters as they are no longer used by any buses between the Basset St roundabout and the Anzac Drive roundabout.

Community grantsThe Burwood-Pegasus Com-munity Board has been recom-mended to grant the Portsmouth St Kidsfirst Kindergarten $2960 to go towards their food Friday programme. The kindergarten initially requested $5480 for the programme from the board’s dis-cretionary response fund. $15,000 has also been recommended to be granted to the New Brighton Pro-ject group for wages.

This year’s Westpac Chopper Appeal has raised more than $250,000 for Canterbury’s rescue helicopter.

This is part of $1.5m raised across the country.

All donations from the Westpac Chopper Appeal are distributed back to the 16 rescue helicopter ser-vices across the country, meaning money raised locally, stays local.

Westpac’s director of corporate affairs, Sue Foley, said the total raised is an outstanding effort.

“New Zealanders have once again shown their support ral-lying behind their local rescue helicopters,” said Ms Foley.

“We’d like to thank all of those who generously dug deep and donated, along with everyone who was involved in the fundraising events in their communities.

“The helicopters provide such a vital service that saves lives on a daily basis. It’s important for us to continue to play our part and raise awareness as well as much-needed funds to keep them in the air.”

Westpac employees were also crucial to the success of this year’s result with fundraising initiatives organised around the country as well as hitting the streets to col-lect $128,000 on the nationwide Chopper Street Appeal day.

Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust chairman, Murray Weakley, said: “We are continually overwhelmed by the generosity of locals and could not be prouder to be part of this community. We would like to thank every person and group who gave as well as the support from Westpac through the chopper appeal every year. Every donation makes a big difference to help us keep doing what we do and we are very grate-ful.”

Donations are welcome throughout the year and can be made at www.chopperappeal.co.nz or any Westpac branch.

Shirley Boys’ High principal John Laurenson says stand-downs are used to help students at the school.

Last week the Pegasus Post re-vealed east Christchurch schools’ suspension statistics for 2014.

The figures showed in 2014 Shir-ley Boys’ stood down 38 students, suspended 11, excluded four and expelled one.

This is compared with 45 stood down in 2013, 11 suspended and three excluded.

Mr Laurenson (right) said like all schools he would like to see no students taken out of school but sometimes these are tools that are used to help students.

“It allows us to bring in wrap around services and social welfare services to help students. Things have changed, once upon a time we got rid of the problem but now we deal with it differently. A stand-down is one weapon of an arsenal of weapons we use to get things sorted out.”

He said of a school of about 1250 to only have 38 stand-downs, which is only three per cent of the roll, was very good.

“They are not necessarily bad kids. The main reason for a stand-down is it’s a clear line in the sand, it allows time for kids to get out of the environment where they could

be leading other children. It’s not he’s a bad kid, it’s just a kid that needs correction. Every single hu-man being at some stage needs to be corrected”.

Mr Laurenson said the one ex-pelled student was helped into a new school instead of simply be-ing turfed out of the education system.

Schools are not obliged to find a student over 16 years of age a new school but in this case Mr Lauren-son said Shirley Boys’ did.

This is the definition of an ex-pulsion where as an exclusion means the school is obliged to find that student a new school because they are under 16.

“While it may be that some schools try and remove difficult students as soon as they turn 16, in our case we try and meet our social and educational obliga-tions, by retaining students.”

A Burwood dairy owner is fed up with people parking in front of his store all day and has successfully lobbied for parking restrictions to be considered.

Ever since the redevelopment of Burwood Hospital begun, owner Dipak Kalidas has had to put up with cars using the parking bay outside his Burwood Foodmarket as an all-day car park.

He believes it is construction workers at the hospital who are parking there.

He said it was annoying and has cost his business money.

“There’s plenty of parking fur-ther away but I don’t know why they park here. There’s always cars parked there.”

He said customers have nowhere to park and will drive straight past.

Mr Kalidas asked the city coun-cil for help but nothing could be done initially.

He has opened up the back of the dairy to allow customers to park there but said it wasn’t as easy for customers to simply pull

into the bay.The Burwood-Pegasus Com-

munity Board will now consider whether to approve 10min park-ing restrictions in the parking bay outside the dairy.

Mr Kalidas was relieved the re-strictions were being considered.

“Yeah, really happy because this will continue to happen until the hospital is built.”

It has been recommended the community board approve the restrictions for the parking bay at tonight’s (Monday) meeting.

It will cost $300 to install the signs.

Project director, Bryan Spinks said parking at Burwood Hospi-tal is for staff, patients and their families.

“It is a contractual requirement that contractors are not allowed to park in the staff or public parks on the site. However, some ad-ditional temporary parking has been made for some of the con-tractors and others are parking on the roads.”

He said the Canterbury District Health Board had not received any complaints about contractors parking in surrounding areas.

Woolston business owners and residents are outraged at plans to close the area’s post shop.

Woolston Auto Surgery owner Roydon Smart said it seemed “crazy” to close the Ferry Rd shop because it served a lot of people.

“The Woolston post shop is so busy, often it’s queued out onto the footpath.”

Earlier this month, New Zea-land Post revealed plans to ex-pand postal and banking services in Ferrymead, which will see the Woolston branch close.

NZ Post is looking for a tenant to fill the post shop building to run the postal services, but people wanting to use banking services and bill pay will have to travel to Ferrymead or Eastgate mall.

Mr Smart has been in contact with Kiwibank and NZ Post to outline his concerns and has been handing out pamphlets to local business owners and residents to make them aware of what is happening.

“I’ve had a business here since 1979, now they are moving the post office; always used this one. Now I’ll have to drive to do my banking, because with money you have to take it to the bank. It’s a super busy post office, it all adds up to be a stupid, selfish decision.”

The Food Factory Shop in Wain-oni and Ferrymead is giving back to its community by donating $600 every month to local groups, organisations and individuals.

The shops, started its Our Community fundraising scheme in May.

Every month, jars are displayed in both shops, each representing a group. Any time a customer makes a purchase, they are given a token to vote. The customer then chooses who they want to support by plac-ing the token in one of the jars. At the end of the month, the tokens are counted to see which group comes in first, second and third.

Birthright Christchurch, an organisation that supports single

parents and caregivers, had the most tokens in June, winning $300.

Manager Rhodora Sagles said it was wonderful to receive the donation.

“The money will go towards our parents’ groups, which we facilitate twice a year. Speakers from various agencies share new practical skills and information. The sessions have been very helpful to single parents because they offer support and friendship, all while learning new things.”

The Food Factory Shops are bakery and food outlets, which sell seconds, trials, dated, short dated, cancelled export orders and deleted line products from Baker

Boys and many other manufac-turers.

Baker Boys administration manager Trudy Daniels said the company wanted to help the community to show appreciation for the support it received after the earthquakes.

“Everyone in Christchurch has had a rough few years, especially those in the east, where our shops are. We have come through the other side, so our managing director Andrew Moon wanted to support and say thank you to the people who have continued to support us.”

Organisations can apply to be involved in Our Community at ourcommunity.co.nz

SUPPORT: Birthright Christchurch staff members (from left) Desiree Patchett, Angela Swinney, Rhodora Sagles and Sue Dickson, receives $300 from Baker Boys operations manager Aziz Nabi.

Linwood College scored big this season, with new gear for the school’s growing number of netball players thanks to the ANZ netball grant scheme.

Teacher in charge of netball, Courtney Flay, says the grant, which includes 20 balls, will be a big help for the school’s four new netball teams.

“Netball was non-existent when I took over the project in 2014. That year, we started the season with one team and now, after lots of hard work, we’ve got five.

“We’re really excited that the sport is growing so quickly but it’s tough to keep up with the demand for new gear. These new netballs will really help the play-

ers get the most out of trainings.”This year, ANZ is awarding a

total of $100,000 in netball grants to help clubs, schools, social teams and fans achieve their dreams.

ANZ branch manager Nathan Harman says the programme was

launched in 2012 to support fans and help netballers get to the next level in the game.

“Netball is one of the country’s most popular sports with tens of thousands of players at schools, clubs and social teams across the country.

“It’s about inspiring players to go further. This might involve kitting out a team with new gear or uniforms, helping players get to an ANZ Championship match to see the action up close this season, or even getting a few pro-fessionals to visit their school or club to host a training session – that’s bound to be a life-changing experience for some of our future netballing stars.

“We’re really happy to help Lin-wood College to provide enough gear for its growing number of netball players.”

Applications to the ANZ Netball Grant Scheme are now closed. Winners can be viewed at anzcourtside.co.nz.

A Christchurch lawyer has been ap-pointed as the newest member of the Ronald McDonald House South Is-land’s board table.

Julie Hands has been bestowed the Institute of Directors’ First Steps in Governance Award, giving her an internship position on the charity’s board.

Institute of Directors’ Canterbury branch chair Janice Fredric said the judges were impressed by Ms Hands’ ambition, focus and leadership po-tential.

“Julie is an exceptional young woman who has already taken on a range of leadership roles in both her career and the community. Her breadth of skill and empathy for the cause will make her a real asset to the Ronald McDonald House South Is-land board.”

Ms Hands, a resource manage-ment and commercial solicitor for Duncan Cotterill, says the award is an honour.

“The board seems as though it has a great dynamic and there’s a lot of diverse knowledge and experience there. I’m excited to learn from them and hope this will be the first step in a long governance career.”

Ms Hands will also receive men-toring from an experienced director, $810 toward Institute of Directors’ professional development courses, and a one-year membership of the Institute of Directors.

Feedback closes 31 July 2015

The development of the Victoria Square Draft Restoration Plan was guided by community feedback received earlier this year.

Feedback demonstrated a strong community desire to retain and maintain Victoria Square’s existing character and features. There was also support for additional features to complement the community’s preferred uses for Victoria Square, which included relaxing, enjoying the environment, pedestrian access to and from the city, meeting friends and whānau, and acknowledging the past.

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

The extreme frosts of the last week have resulted in a number of calls to properties where hot water cylinders have leaked and caused flooding in the building or where sprinkler systems have frozen solid and leaked.

I can certainly understand, turning the hot water tap on in the kitchen at home first thing in the morning has resulted in slushy ice in the sink.

We were fortunate enough though not to have our pipes freeze solid enough to split.

There were also a number of car crashes caused by black ice. If it looks wet at all on those -5 deg C mornings then the road is almost certainly fro-zen solid. We all need to drive accord-ingly.

It’s probably therefore a good time to mention the metre/heater rule again.

This is a mantra the Fire Service has invented to give a rule of thumb about anything combustible near to some-thing that could set it on fire.

The drying of clothing in front of a fireplace or heater is fine except for the human tendency to want things to happen quickly causes us to place the damp clothes too close. We like to see the steam rise.

Then the phone goes, or tea needs to be cooked or the kids do what kids do and attract our attention.

Placed closer than a metre that steam will rise until no moisture is left. The clothing will keep on heating. It might scorch. It might ignite.

The metre/heater rule simply saves this from happening.

If you require a dental checkup as part of your medical treatment, Sene is right up-to-date on your requirements.

Michelle De Thierry, a therapist/hygienist, has also recently joined the practice, primarily as a hygienist. She brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the practice, and her job is to keep teeth and gums in tiptop shape and help you do the same.

This well-established family practice offers a full range of dental services, including fillings, crowns, bridges and implants.

Keeping families’ teeth healthy has been the focus of QE2 Dental in Parklands for the last 20 years.

Understanding that some patients get very nervous about visiting the dentist, they specialise in IV sedation, which ensures patients are much more relaxed when they receive their treatment.

The removal of impacted wisdom teeth is another key area of interest at QE2 Dental.

To encourage new people who may not have had that important checkup at the dentist for a while to make an appointment, QE2 Dental has a special month-long offer. Every new patient, or anyone that has not been for over three years, who makes a booking for a checkup between July 20 and August 20, costing $99, will receive a free hygiene treatment from Michelle. Normally, the total cost of the two appointments could be as high as $197, so that’s a saving of

QE2 Dental works hard to provide quality dentistry at an affordable price. This has seen the practice grow from one surgery and one

dentist 20 years ago to today’s four surgeries and four dentists plus a hygienist.

Recently, Sene Ioane, an experienced and well-liked dentist, has joined the team.

Sene brings a wealth of experience gained in New Zealand and Australia. She also works in the hospital and is used to dealing with patients with complex medical problems.

Family dental practice expands its services

almost $100. QE2 Dental is located on the corner of

Rookwood Avenue and Bower Avenue, directly over the road from the BP petrol station, and parking is plentiful.

To book an appointment, phone 388 0881.

Hygienist, Michelle De Thierry and Dentist, Sene Ioane warmly welcome you to QE2 Dental Care.

Type 2 diabetes is becoming a major health issue for New Zealand, with obesity recognised as one of its most preventable causes. According to a Diabetes NZ spokeswoman, “While there is no silver bullet, we do

know we can prevent obesity through lifestyle and exercise.”For their part, the team at Physical Sense Gym & Physio also

recognise that a healthy diet and regular exercise are the two key factors underpinning successful weight loss and have developed a programme specially designed for diabetes clients. It is proving popular with people across a wide age range (20 to 70), including many who are overweight or severely obese.

The programme comprises a circuit that allows the clients to do the exercises at their own pace, without any pressure to keep up, combined with advice from the community diabetes team who support them through the necessary changes to their food habits.

“The advantage for these clients is that we are a normal public gym, so our diabetes clients are mixing with people who don’t have health conditions,” team member Ietje van Stolk says.

“And by coming to the gym, our diabetes clients are getting out of the house and are meeting other people including people with the same issues and weight problems as they have, and being physically active is very motivating. They encourage each other and there is plenty of fun and humour between themselves and with the instructors, who are there to lean on and help everyone reach their goals.”

Medical research shows participation in regular exercise gets the heart rate up, helps strengthen muscles, improves blood glucose control and can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, Ietje points out. It also positively affects lipids and blood pressure, reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and improves quality of life.

Physical Sense Gym & Physio has had many positive comments

starts in ChristchurchNew diabetes exercise group

from clients about the programme. One, who goes six times a week, says he loves having somewhere to go and hates the days he is not going to the gym. Another says, “It’s the only thing I have for me, and I have improved my eating habits.”

Others have found walking easier and have increased energy and fitness.

To encourage those on limited income, the first four sessions are free, and if clients have WINZ support the programme usually remains free, Ietje says. Attending the gym is as easy as a bus ride which stops right at the front door. There is also plenty of parking available should you choose to drive.

Christchurch Airport Ambassador Programme’s

5th AnniversaryFor half a decade, a band of dedicated volunteers have

been guiding travellers to where they are supposed to be, as well as pointing those meeting friends or strangers in the right direction. Unpaid, except for the smiles and gratitude expressed in many customs and languages, their sterling work was recognised with a party of thanks held at Christchurch Airport’s new cinema. Among the company of Airport Ambassadors are 16 who have been shining the light of true direction and guidance since the very beginning of the Ambassador Programme. Serenaded by barbershop harmonising and tempted with fine food, it was time to raise a toast to the past as well as the next five-plus years.

Cancer has the ability to rob those affected of more than their physical health.

“I am a ‘people person’ with an outgoing personality. Well, I used to be. When I was diagnosed with cancer, my demeanour changed, and it wasn’t long before my treat-ment became a lonely and nerve-racking journey,” says Miretta, a Look Good Feel Better workshop participant.

That’s why Look Good Feel Better exists. The national charity supports Kiwis at a time when they need it most, by providing an opportunity for participants to claim back their personality be-yond being a cancer patient - and learn practical tools to combat the ongoing visual and emotional effects of therapy.

“It truly was a morale-boosting makeover, I felt like one of the group instead of a patient. It boosted and improved my self-esteem – and felt so darn good!” Miretta says.

“It’s often the first time many women will be seen by others without their wig or be touched by a person that isn’t doing so for medical purposes,” Clare O’Higgins, Look Good Feel Bet-ter’s general manager, says.

“I rarely let people get close, other than those who are dear to me, but the women there all

felt the same. We were all going through the same thing and bonded like I could never have imagined,” Miretta says.

The demand for these life-enhancing workshops is now at its highest. More than 1860 Kiwis will be diagnosed with cancer during Look Good Feel Better’s national awareness and fundrais-ing campaign, Feel Better Month, this month – making the need for their non-medical services even more vital.

“It’s truly devastating to have to turn potential participants away because we can’t support the demand – we need trained

beauticians, volunteers and, most importantly, funds to ensure no cancer sufferer is denied the chance to smile again,” Ms O’Higgins says.

Last year, Look Good Feel Better held workshops in 24 locations throughout New Zealand. This year, the charity is hosting workshops in 31 areas nationwide. Look Good Feel Better is aiming to provide enough local workshops so no participant has to travel more than 30 minutes to attend morale-boosting sessions.

“As long as New Zealanders continue to suffer the physical

side effects of cancer treatment, Look Good Feel Better will be there to help bring back a sense of normality and control during a time when diagnosis and treat-ment have taken over their lives,” Ms O’Higgins says.

•Look Good Feel Better receives no government fund-ing and relies on the generosity of the public. To donate, visit lgfb.co.nz/donate or visit your local Farmers during July to purchase Look Good Feel Better merchandise, a lipstick from participating brands or donate at the counter.

Eat wellFresh, wholesome food is thebest way tokeep upenergy levels.I love sushiand eat it acouple oftimes a week.To helpmerecover, andto givemeenergy for thefollowing day,I mix it up betweencarbohydrates and protein.

Stay hydratedDrinking plenty of water is

important. I try to drinkwaterthroughoutmy training, anddrink plenty of water post-exercise.

Boost nutrientsTraining and regular exercisecan deplete nutrients in thebody. To keep on top of this,taking supplements likemagnesium can help relax tightmuscles. To help supportimmunity take a supplementlike Healtheries Vitamin C.

Stretching before andafter exerciseIt’s important to warm up first toprevent injuries and to stretch

afterwards to help withflexibility and reducemusclesoreness. Your core is animportant part of your body andI like to try and activate it beforeI start my training as well asstretchingmost of my legmusclegroups post-training while I’mstill warm.

Set goalsTo keep focused, set small goalsto help youwork towardssomething.”

Q A&What are Kalamata olives?Olives from a particulararea in the south of Greece,and named after the city ofKalamata. These olives aredark purple, almond-shapedandmeaty, with adistinctive flavour. Theyare often slit before being

brined or pickled to let theflavour soak in, but stillusually contain the seed. Aswell as being sold in brine,olive oil or vinaigrette,Kalamatas are used formaking olive oil. They canbe served as a snack or insalads, stuffings, breads andtapenade.

If a recipe calls for roseessence, can I substituterosewater?Rose essence is muchmoreconcentrated thanrosewater, and if you usethe latter you’ll probablyneed at least six times asmuch— ifyour recipedoesn’t callfor additionalliquid thiscould upsetthe balance.Rose essencecansometimes befound in thesupermarket,otherwise trystores sellingMediter-ranean,MiddleEastern or Indian supplies.Note that unless it is madeby distillation, homemaderosewater is not suitable forcooking.

gelatine or other thickeners.Ideal for cooking, it can standbeing boiled without separatingandwhips to a light and fluffyconsistency— excellent fordesserts, sauces, home-madeicecream and soup garnishes.

Lite cream:Meadow Freshproduces a cream that is notsuitable for whipping but has 6per cent less fat than theirtraditional cream (12g). It’s bestfor pouring over desserts or foruse in sauces and has a yummy,creamy taste without thecalories.

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS: • Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as shown in research

• Advanced new cold extraction better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish

• Naturally contains phospholipids to support cellular health

• Contains vitamin D3 to support immune, bone & cardiovascular health

new fish oil offers more health benefits!GO-OMEGA PC is the only fish oil with natural PhOsPhOliPids

[Edition datE]2

It is well known how important omega-3 fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated most people don’t even get a third of the recommended omega-3

fatty acids on a weekly basis. Countries with a higher amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known to have lower cardiovascular disease and, in many cases, better overall health. Recent research has shown inflammation to be a big part of disease and the ageing process. Fish oil can help reduce inflammation by providing essential fatty acids required by the body to heal itself and maintain good health. Until now most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally contain omega-3 in triglyceride and phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the manufacturing process.

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new standards

Emerging research has shown as many as 50 per cent of older adults and as many as 25 per cent of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.

B12 is essential for energy production, cell health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair and prevention of homocysteine - a serious cardiovascular risk factor that is known to cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a 34 per cent decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+ who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in subjects in their

1 in 2 people deficient in vitamin B12

in fish oil as it contains omega-3 attached to both triglycerides and phospholipids. Studies have shown GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better absorbed, leading to increased levels of vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs thru giving the potential for more health benefits.

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish using a new advanced and more natural cold extraction process that better preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP standards and is molecularly distilled to remove any containments, toxins and heavy metals.

Further info on this revolutionary new fish oil and its benefits is available from the Natural Health Advisers, Naturopath and Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in New Brighton, phone 388 5757. We are always happy to help!

60s who were low in B12. The reason so many people lack B12

seems to be due to our body’s inability to absorb it as we age, as the digestive system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other drugs further reduce B12 absorption.

The good news is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and thru bypassing the digestive tract have been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in the body.

When Robert Perks MBE founded the Christchurch School of Music in 1955, he was very much focused

on providing quality music education to primary-aged students, but we know he’d be pleased to see that CSM now caters for students aged from two to 92. Adults of all ages and abilities are now an integral part of the CSM community and our varied programmes offer something for everyone. Many of our adult students enjoy weekly instrumental, theory or vocal lessons, but we also offer fortnightly options or blocks

of lessons to cater for students whose lives are too busy to cope with a weekly lesson.

At CSM, we encourage our students to play in an orchestra or ensemble as soon as they feel ready. Playing with others is great fun and helps students to feel a part of our fabulous musical community. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or an experienced player, CSM can offer you the chance to play in an orchestra, band or one of our many ensembles.

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake,

many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp, which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable.

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our New Zealand conditions and applications, it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against

So content have my owners been with this lovely family residence – it’s been their happy home for 20 wonderful years. The time for a change has come,

and the opportunity for a lucky new family to make it their own is now presented.

Idyllically, located for weekend pursuits, the Heathcote River and Hills with their walkways and cycle tracks are right on the doorstep, while commuters will equally enjoy the short 10-minute drive to the four avenues.

The home boasts a generous 250-square-metre floorplan and solid, permanent material brick construction with Masada cladding on the second level. A home for living and entertaining, living spaces are flexible and fluid - an open plan kitchen/dining room and a family zone with two lounges - each interconnecting and opening out to the wrap-around grounds. The kitchen benefits from engineered stone worktops, wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, good cupboard space and an inviting breakfast bar.

There are four great sized double bedrooms on offer, serviced by three bathrooms to ensure the preschool/work rush runs as smoothly as possible. The master bedroom is particularly well-proportioned, the space accentuated by the high pitched roof with wooden beams.

Family comfort and convenience is ensured with undertile heating and heat pumps, a vacuum system, an internal access garage, new carpets and being repainted throughout. The easy care section offers a selection of covered and uncovered patio areas, attractive

perimeter planting, new pathways and driveways, and off-street parking.

Currently back home in Lyttelton and working on some new tunes, well travelled violinist and composer, Fiona Pears is putting together an intimate show for later this month.

“I thought I should put my fiddle fingers to good use and do a little winter show,” said Fiona. “Where better to do it than the lovely "SHE" in Governors Bay!”

Fi will be will be doing a small concert there on Friday July 31st at 7pm and will be performing with her band made up of Ian Tilley on piano, Mike Ferrar on guitar and Peter Fleming on double bass.

“It will be a mix of old and new tunes and people can get food and drinks - hot chocolate being a specialty there!”

Nick says,“If you’re happy with our service tell others. If you’re not, tell us.We want to look after our customers.”

Some people think an oil and filter change is servicing their car. We see a number of customers who are getting 12 minute oil and filter changes done and think their car has been serviced. Certainly this part of the service is better than nothing.I recommend that our fully trained mechanics service your vehicle. If you really want the quick alternative, we will match the price using cheaper oil and filters.Give me a call and I will be happy to discuss the alternative.Remember we service air conditioners, do wheel alignments and use the latest diagnostic equipment.Nick and his team would like to thank all their customers for their continuing support, as well as extending a warm welcome to all new clients.
