PINK LADIES: Marian College students Brianna Willoughby, Shannon Middlemiss and Ella Willoughby got involved in the school’s Pink Day recently which helped raise more than $1200 for New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. The day was organised by the school’s health council led by year 13 students Kasia Stanicich and Caitlin Power. The girls wore pink and bought breast cancer foundation merchandise items such as pens, key rings and pink ribbons. The school canteen made Pink Day cupcakes which were sold, with profits going to the cause. It was the first time the event has run and the school hopes to make it an annual event.• Marian girls help Nepal – p2

Power of pink

Eight red-zone houses could be at risk of vandalism if they are moved to QE II next month.

The Canterbury Earthquake Re-covery Authority has set a deadline of the end of July for the houses to be moved which have been bought by low-income families through the Canterbury Housing Trust.

If they are not moved they will be demolished.

The city council has agreed for the houses to be temporarily stored

at QE II for up to six months.This has upset Burwood-Pegasus

Community Board member Linda Stewart who said there are better places for them to be placed.

She said it was a bad idea, because they would be an eyesore for people living in the area, and would attract vandalism.

“I support the Community Housing Trust here, because it’s really well-intentioned. They’re trying to do a good thing, but this decision is crazy.”

Ms Stewart said there were bet-

ter alternatives close by.She suggested an area in Bottle

Lake or a parcel of city council-owned land between Clare Park and the Mairehau Riding Centre.

The cost of moving the houses will also fall to the families who have bought the houses.

Consent hold-ups and other issues out of their control mean eight families who have bought unwanted red-zone properties will have to pay twice to get them to their final destination.

The homes are part of a CHT

scheme aimed at getting low-income families into their own properties, with most house and section packages costing $300,000 to $350,000.

More than 40 families have been helped into houses through the scheme.

That means the families need to move them to a temporary site, which will cost up to $12,000.

Trust founder, former mayor Garry Moore, said many would struggle to afford the cost of the double shift. • Turn to page 2

Two Aranui bands are lining up in the Smokefree Pacifica Beats Canterbury final this Saturday, June 27.

Brianne from Aranui High School along with Proud8 and Courtney and Josh are in the final, to be held at the White Elephant Trust, 442 Tuam St.

At the final on Saturday awards will be given to the top two bands.

These include the MAINZ Musicianship award, Smoke-free Mana Wahine award, the APRA Lyric Writers award, Smokefree Best Vocals, Youth Performance Trust Native Reo award,

YPT Best Song award and the Recorded Music Solo/Duo award.

From the regional final-ists pool, the top six bands and the best solo/duos are invited to Auckland for a weekend of music and men-toring, this year held at the University of Auckland.

When all regional finals are completed, the top two bands and the top solo/duos will submit video footages and complete social media tasks.

From this, national final-ists will be selected.

That will be followed by the national final at the Raye

Freedman Centre at Epsom Girls Grammar on Septem-ber 12.

The SFPB national win-ners’ prize package includes musical gear at a total value of $3000 from New Zealand Rockshop and its suppliers, a $10,000 song and video package from New Zealand On Air and performance spots at some of the 2015/16 Auckland summer festivals.

More information can be found at smokefreepacifi-cabeats.co.nz or facebook.com/SFPBeats

Tickets to the Canterbury final on Saturday are avail-able at the door for $10.

• From page 1He said the families tried to meet

the deadline, but delays to consents, to foundation work or to the relocation process had held them up.

“You stand in line with everyone else getting sign off. Everything takes time and it’s outside our control.”

They would only need a month exten-sion to the deadline, he said.

“We supply CERA with a cleared sec-tion, that costs CERA nothing. So we save a house, we save the State money and we provide a family with an afford-able home.”

Ms Stewart said CERA needed to rethink its decision.

“I think it’s appalling. It’s heavy hand-ed and unsympathetic. Those houses could stay right where they are. Why put that person, or the trust, through that extra expense for nothing?”

CERA acting chief executive John Ombler said June 30 had been the target for the red-zone properties to be cleared, but some had been given extensions to July 31.

“We have been fully committed to making relocations happen for the good of all involved, and have already pro-vided extensions for this to happen, but there has to be an end point to allow the recovery to progress.”

He said CERA would continue to work with the parties involved and assist them as much as possible, but ques-tioned whether an extra month would be enough time.

GOOD DEED: Marian College’s Breanna Crowther, Emma Veltman and Tessa Barrett-Walker with their commemorative Nepal badges. Following the February 2011 earthquake, Marian College was the recipient of various fundraising efforts from schools in New Zealand and overseas. Current student leaders Emma, Tessa and Breanna decided to create commemorative badges for sale, using some of the funds given to the college to make the purchase. This way, all funds received were able to be sent to help those in Nepal.

The Gayhurst Rd bridge won’t be opening until at least the end of July.

The bridge was scheduled to be finished in mid-June but work to resurface the roads either side of the bridge has meant the bridge cannot be opened just yet.

Funding for the upgrades to the approaches on Gayhurst Rd and Gloucester St were signed off by the city council in early June and will take two weeks to complete once started.

That work was expected to start this week.

A Stronger Christchurch Infra-structure Rebuild Team spokes-woman said this was likely to take at least until the end of July to complete.

It included installing street lighting and attaching the perma-

nent hand rail to the bridge.She said the reasons for the

bridge not opening to traffic be-fore the road improvements were

made were:“There is significant realignment

of the road involved in the redesign – it will involve the road width.

“Overhead power line issues with moving machinery and other safety issues around this work site.

“And the need to keep the dairy access safely open throughout on one corner.”

This has left residents annoyed.Carol Manson said she was

frustrated the bridge was still closed.

She said residents were fed up with delays and excuses as to why the bridge can’t be opened before the upgrades to the approaches were completed.

The closest bridges to Gayhurst are Fitzgerald Ave and Avondale Rd.

The bridge will be the first in Christchurch to be fully rebuilt af-ter the February 2011 earthquake.

A community event is expected to be organised to mark the open-ing of the bridge.

Roadwork slows bridge opening

WAITING: The Gayhurst Rd bridge which will not open until at least the end of July.

Burglars who broke into O’Sheas Public House and stole the social committee’s safe may have struck again elsewhere.

A cheque which was inside the safe has been found at a house in Beckenham after it had been burgled.

It appears the cheque was mis-takenly dropped at the scene of the Beckenham break-in.

Bar owner Alan Stroud said

police were getting closer to catching the two burglars.

Police had found a safe which they thought could have been the O’Sheas one but Mr Stroud said it was not the same one.

The two men broke their way in through the back door using a crowbar then made off with the safe which was behind the bar.

The safe contained more than $500.

A $100 bar tab was put on

offer for anyone who could iden-tify the two men.

Mr Stroud said the bar tab was

still there for anyone who had any information.

A photo of one of the men from O’Sheas surveillance cameras was posted on the bar’s Facebook page.

The cameras showed the two men crawling on their stomachs through the bar to get to the safe so they would not set off an alarm.

Mr Stroud said he would install more security measures to ensure another break-in did not happen.

O’Sheas burglars may have struck again ▌▌ IN BRIEFPier fishing updateThe Burwood-Pegasus Community Board is expected to be updated by city council staff at its next meeting on options for issues of fishing rules being flouted on the New Brighton Pier. Board member Tim Sintes had requested staff attend last week’s meeting but that had to be delayed.

New Aranui facilityConstruction on the new Aranui Community Centre is about to start. Construction will take about a year, with the new facility set to open at 31 Hampshire St in early-mid 2016. The new facility will incorporate activity, meeting and office space – replacing the space which was lost when the Wainoni Aranui Family Centre and the Aranui Community Hall in Breezes Rd were demolished after sustaining earthquake damage. The new facility is being built on the former site of the Wainoni Aranui Family Centre.

Park maintenanceVolunteers are being called for to help with the maintenance of South New Brighton Park. The first scheduled community maintenance was yesterday, June 21 and the next is July 5 between 2-4pm. The maintenance is supervised by city council park rangers and happens usually every fortnight on a Sunday but other days are scheduled. To find out more head to www.facebook.com/BrightsideTheSouth.

Six months ago Phillipstown School rang its bell for the last time, low-ered the flag and closed its doors.

School supporters had a long battle with the Ministry of Educa-tion to keep the school operating, and held street protests and won a High Court case, but it was not enough to stop the closure.

Now, three years since Education Minister Hekia Parata announced plans to merge Phillipstown and Woolston schools, the site has be-come a hub of activity again.

The Phillipstown Community Centre signed a lease with the Min-istry of Education to operate out of the vacant site in January, to turn it into a community hub.

From bicycle repairs to ukulele lessons, the Phillipstown Commu-nity Hub has a range of activities and courses available, and it all sprung from community feedback.

Its aim is to cater for the wants and needs of the community, and a lot of the initial planning stages included getting feedback of what those actually were.

After about five months of plan-ning, the hub is now in full swing with 19 groups already operating out of the site.

It celebrated its open day recently which gave the opportunity for members of the community to

come and see what is happening and what activities are available.

The community, Canterbury University students, children and community groups came along to celebrate the opening, and former Phillipstown School principal Tony Simpson was among the visitors.

Mr Simpson, who wore his heart on his sleeve throughout the school’s battle, is now working as a log truck driver and stevedore at Lyttelton Port.

He said the day was really enjoyable but he had “mixed feelings”.

It was with real sadness that the school had gone with its history

and the achievements it had made, he said.

“It made Phillipstown the iden-tity that it was.”

But on the other hand it brought him pleasure to see the buildings being utilised rather than being vandalised and locked up.

“It’s much better than it being locked up and the community being shut out, it’s a very positive step.”

The school’s concept was to stage partnerships with agencies, busi-nesses and the community, and the hub was carrying out that vision, he said.

“The only thing missing is the school.”

Hub co-ordinator Lauren Luke-tina has been in the role for about a month and manages bookings and organises the groups and time-tables.

She moved to Christchurch recently with previous roles as a teacher and a liaison teacher.

“We had the open day and that was the official time that everyone opened up their doors.

“It was a really nice community day.”

She was blown away with the response of groups wanting to have a place in the hub.

“There’s been a lot of interest, there’s been more requests than we have space for.”

The merged school, Te Waka Unua, officially opened in February and is based on the Woolston site, but the technology department is still being utilised by school pupils.

Ministry of Education head of education infrastructure service Kim Shannon said the spaces are being used to provide technology education for about 1200 students from local schools, and is managed by Te Waka Unua.

“We have no further plans for the site at this time, and have no intention of putting the site into disposal.”

There are four permanent groups that have moved into the hub, including the Mt Pleasant Pot-tery group, ICE Cycles, Ōtautahi Creative Spaces Project and the Canterbury Youth Development Programme.

Mt Pleasant Pottery Club was based in the Mt Pleasant Commu-nity Centre which had been out of action since the earthquakes and the club moved to the hub about six weeks ago.

The club has been operating for 55 years, and its members come from all over the city.

President Shona Clarkson said it was wonderful to have a base with a num-ber of other community groups.

“It’s good to have places where people can come back and work.

“I think it’s a fabulous use of the space, hopefully it will continue.”

Other groups come and use the space, mostly on a weekly basis to hold classes or courses.

Ms Luketina said the hub had to manage the timetable to get the best out of the spaces available.

At this stage, the permanent spaces in the hub were full, but there were some available for

groups to come in if it fitted with the timetable, she said.

The groups contact her to see if there is space and how big it would need, and it did not need to be a continuous activity.

People could book in to use a space for a one-off meeting or celebration.

“We just had a celebration for Samoan Language Week,” she said.

One of the initial ideas from the public was to create a community garden on the site, which is now in the process of happening.

The hub has been donated top soil and members from the community and the Student Volunteer Army lent a helping hand to prepare the garden.

Phillipstown Neighbourhood Po-licing Team Senior Constable Spike Crowther said the concept of the hub was great for the community.

“The opportunity to get all these organizations in together like that almost feeding off each other work-ing together is great.”

He said the policing team would have a lot to do with the hub and it was a great use for the school site since it had closed.

• Parklands Bowling ClubThe Burwood-Pegasus

Community Board has given the club the green light to build a new sports hub at Arthur Adcock Memorial Reserve which will house both the bowling club and the Parklands Rugby Club which currently uses the Queenspark School hall for club nights. The facility will cost more than $1 million to build and is hoped to be finished by early 2017. A new 33-year lease was also recommended to the city council to be approved for the bowling club.

A teenager who spent months in Burwood Hospital’s spinal unit wants the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors again with his family and friends.

Elliott Keys, 15, was left a tetra-plegic after a mountain biking ac-cident in July last year, in which he broke his neck.

But he is determined not to let the fact he has no use of his arms or legs stop him from getting back on wheels and into the great outdoors.

A fund has been set up to buy an off-road, four-wheel mobility de-vice called MOJO with the $40,000 cost proving to be the major stum-bling block.

From Mt Maunganui, the To-koroa Mountain Bike Club recently hosted a fundraiser for him, raising $5000 to add to the $15,000 already raised toward to buy the chair.

Elliot’s family is really grateful to the staff at Burwood Hospital for their support and care during El-liott’s stay.

“Burwood was amazing – great staff and a passionate team,” says El-liott’s father, Mike.

But now they are all back home, the aim is to get him outside and into an off-road machine which would have to be fitted with head controls to enable him to once again roam the outdoors with family and friends.

A Give a little page has been set up – givealittle.co.nz/cause/elliottkeys.

Bid to raise funds for mobility device

Challenge yourself for a good causeSix-year-old Jayme Leary bravely faced each day of his battle with cancer which included many days of chemotherapy, hundreds of injections and countless other procedures.

The Child Cancer Foundation is calling on Cantabrians to show their support by accepting its One Day Challenge in July and raising funds for brave children fighting cancer and their families.

“Everyone can get involved – individuals, groups, workplaces, clubs or schools. It’s as easy as selecting a fundraising challenge and then choosing a day in July to acknowledge the challenges that children, like Jayme, face every day,” says Child Cancer Foundation Canterbury/West Coast business development manager Tanya Cooke.

“Three New Zealand children are diagnosed with cancer each week and at any one time the Foundation is supporting more than 500 families whose children are fighting this disease, so that’s a whole lot of courageous children.”

This is the fourth year that the foundation has held its One Day Challenge in July. Mrs Cooke suggests people may like to take part in a group challenge with their workmates or friends, donate a percentage of profits from a service, gain sponsorship for giving up something for the day or hold a mufti-day at school.

“There are so many ways that you can challenge yourself on one day this July,” she says.

“In past years we’ve had people hold collection during a dress-up day at work or school, give up coffee or another treat and donate the proceeds or ask customers for a gold coin donation.”

Jayme, of Bexley, was one of the Child

Cancer Foundation’s 2014 Ambassadors. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia when he was 18-months-old. The diagnosis saw him spend more than three years in treatment, which finished in July 2013.

Jayme’s Leukaemia treatment had a few bumps along the journey with infections ending in hospital stays, three portacath surgeries and a stint in isolation for a week with a severe case of chicken pox.

The Child Cancer Foundation aims to reduce the impact of cancer by offering services that ensure children and their families are informed and well cared for at every stage of their cancer journey. The foundation connects with families upon diagnosis and continues to offer support in hospital, at home and in the community.

“We support families for as long as they need us – helping in the most practical and tangible way that is best for them, as no two cancer families’ journeys are alike,” says Mrs Cooke.

The foundation receives no direct funding from the government, so it relies on the generosity of New Zealanders to support its work.

[EDITION DATE]2Ferrymead MEDICAL CENTRE

Established in 1997 in a complex further east on Ferry Rd by principal doctor Brendan Smith, the practice has been providing medical and

health services for local residents for 18 years.Following the February 2011 earthquake,

the medical centre had to move out of the original premises, a� er which they were forced to move between several temporary premises. Dr Smith says the sta� are extremely grateful for the support and understanding of the patients and organisations the medical centre works with.

“We’ve � nally found a permanent home that suits our needs and allows us to grow,” he says. “� e sta� have been fantastic in trying times and di� cult circumstances and we all appreciate that this has been di� cult for everyone in our community, especially our patients.”

� e 2011 earthquake really hastened what would have been inevitable for the Ferrymead Medical Centre, Dr Smith says.

“Apart from the quake issues, the practice had continued to grow and we were constrained by space in the original building,

so we would have needed to go somewhere else, though we were restricted by what’s available in the area.”

Dr Smith and his fellow practitioners, Dr Gort Stephan and Dr Charlotte Cooper, are thrilled with their new, much more spacious medical centre, where they have now been joined by Dr Jo Battye.

� e four doctors provide a full complement of GP services for their patients, from babies and children through to growing families and the elderly. Services include consultations, minor surgery and general advice on staying healthy.

A key aspect of the practice is visiting rest homes, and for Dr Smith, this is a particular area of interest as he believes the over-65 age group is an underappreciated area in health care.

� e practice has grown as new residents have moved into the area, while there are also a number of former patients who moved away, but travel across town to continue seeing the doctors they know at the Ferrymead Medical Centre. � e doctors welcome new patients from right around the eastern suburbs, Dr

Smith says, and with seven consulting rooms, a surgery and a nurses’ room, the centre has the capacity to handle the growing patient list and also introduce other health services to complement the existing skills.

� e growth of the practice and the move to more spacious premises has also meant the nursing capability is being expanded at the Ferrymead Medical Centre.

Nurses Nicci Byrne and Angela Trist are both on leave at present, and two new nurses, Sarah Clarke and Judi Foster, have joined the practice over the last few weeks. When Nicci and Angela return, there will be four nurses

The well-established Ferrymead Medical Centre is now permanently located in its new, modern premises in Ferrymead Central on Ferry Road.

Andrew LePine, Director, and Tim Hopkins, Project Manager, of Beech Construction with homeowner Susie Rivers following the CHRP repair of her home.

EQC works with customers to find best way forwardWith over 98 percent of its 69,000 Canterbury home repairs completed or under way, the Earthquake Commission is working with the final 700 customers who have not yet been able to commit to a managed repair to determine the best way forward for them.

EQC chief executive Ian Simpson says many of the repairs yet to complete are more complex than those completed so far.

“Because of this complexity, we need to keep talking with these customers to determine the best options for them.

“EQC is as committed as ever to completing its work in Canterbury. We do not currently have an end date for the Canterbury Home Repair Programme and will be here for as long as it takes to get the job done,” Mr Simpson says.

“However, with the vast majority of repairs now complete, we cannot keep the repair programme running indefinitely.”

The Earthquake Commission Act 1993 allows EQC to choose to settle building claims by cash payments or by repairing or replacing earthquake-damaged buildings.

“We know that a managed repair is not the best option for some customers, and we know that a simple cash settlement may not work for others. We are keen to work with remaining customers on a case-by-case basis to find the nature of support they need to enable the resolution of their claim,” Mr Simpson says.

“We’re actively working with these customers to resolve their claims in a way that best suits their circumstances. To do this, we are working with other agencies and support networks.”

Customers in the programme can still choose to opt out up until the point that repair work is underway.

Customers uncertain about their claim status can contact EQC by phoning 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243) or request an appointment with a member of the Community Contact Team.

A world first: settlement of Increased Flooding Vulnerability land damageThe Earthquake Commission (EQC) has been settling claims for properties with potential Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage since March.

It is the first time in the world that IFV has been recognised as a form of land damage for compensation. This required groundbreaking work and a lot of time to ensure customers could be confident their IFV settlements were soundly based, says EQC Head of Canterbury Land, Keith Land.

“Once the High Court confirmed in December 2014 that EQC’s policy is lawful and the appeal period finished earlier this year, we moved to start settling these claims in mid-March,” Mr Land said.

By mid-June over 500 customers received their packs. There are currently about 9,000 customers still to hear whether their property qualifies for IFV land damage or not.

“We understand customers have waited some time for IFV settlements to begin and we’re working hard to confirm the IFV status for each property as soon as we can. There’s so much complexity involved, we want to make sure the information received is useful and clear.”

Customer settlement packs include engineering and, where applicable, valuation assessment summaries, to show how EQC reached its decision about the property. EQC has been working closely with community and support groups to ensure good quality information in the packs. EQC then calls customers when they receive their packs to take them through the material and answer questions.

“Customers are encouraged to contact us with any questions. Alternatively they can seek support from groups such as Residential Advisory Service and Canterbury Support Line. Customers can also ask for a review of our decision at any point, even after a payment has been made.”

As for properties with potential Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage, EQC aims to finalise its policy for settling this type of land damage in the next couple of months. An update of the settlement timeline for ILV will be provided once the policy is established, but it is likely that settlements will continue during 2016.

Hub to stay open Customers’ demand for more time to meet multiple agencies face-to-face has resulted in the Eastgate Shopping Centre In The Know Hub being kept open until 27 August, 2015.

Originally, the plan was to close the hub on 25th June, but demand has remained constant from customers to discuss their individual claims with agencies such as the Earthquake Commission (EQC), Christchurch City Council, Earthquake Support Coordinators, Residential Advisory Service, CanCERN and CERA.

EQC’s Acting General Manager Customer and Claims, Michael Price, says the number of customers who have been booking appointments with the EQC Customer Contact Team at the hub has averaged around 60 each week.

“Most customers have wanted to talk about their EQC claims and it’s increasingly apparent that the majority just want to talk to a person. EQC’s always had a Community Contact Team to meet people face-to-face but the hub means we work alongside community and other agencies, so we supported keeping the Hub open for a longer period.

“EQC is now into the last two percent of its home repair programme, involving the more difficult claims to resolve. We are also in the process of settling land claims for increased flooding and liquefaction vulnerability land damages. With that in mind, we want to make ourselves available to our customers as much as possible.”

Around 200 people a week are visiting the hub to discuss their individual claims.

Meet the ResearchersIn this series, Meet the Researchers, we talk to EQC researchers about their important work.

Earthquake expert, Dr Mark Quigley, describes the Canterbury series of earthquakes as one of the most significant events in New Zealand’s history. “We tend to forget how hard it really was; living without power, water and sewerage for long periods, constantly having the house shaken to bits, balancing huge workloads and being really stressed. There is no doubt that the earthquakes changed our lives forever.”

As a local earthquake scientist and Christchurch resident affected by the quakes, Dr Quigley says he took the opportunity to do the best science he could with his students and colleagues to share the knowledge.

Associate Professor of Active Tectonics and Geomorphology in Geological Sciences at the University of Canterbury, Dr Quigley joins the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne in October 2015, but retains an Adjunct Associate Professorship at the University of Canterbury and his ties to Christchurch.

The construction of purpose-designed facilities for older people requiring hospital-level rehabilitation and care at Burwood Hospital has passed the half-way mark.

The first development is on schedule to open in the first quarter of 2016.

In addition to the existing services and buildings, the new facilities will add new capability to the hospital.

This includes a new front of house area, including a new main entrance, café, recep-tion and retail.

A new back of house area comprising a hospital kitchen, clean and dirty loading docks, cleaners’ store, supply and distribution area and the plant (the equipment needed to support and maintain the hospital such as the maintenance of air conditioning, heating, plumbing and lighting systems) to support these areas.

A new outpatient department will also be completed which will be able to manage around 80,000 outpatient visits a year.

Once the new ward blocks are open,

inpatient bed numbers at the hospital will be more than 300.

On completion, the Canterbury District Health Board anticipates the number of staff working on-site will be between 1500 and 2000 a day.

There will also be 648 car parks available for people working or visiting the campus.

BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

The worst thing about the last week has been a resurgence in red zone and empty building fires.

Most people know these arson attacks have plagued the city since the earth-quakes.

Recently we have seen a welcome reduc-tion. I don’t know for sure whether this was because of better security, fewer targets or offenders moving away, growing up or, with a few, going to jail.

While there haven’t been huge numbers this week, they have been of the type we have seen far too often.

Empty garage, shed or house with no power connected, deliberately lit, some-times by night, sometimes by day. This is a bit frustrating.

I recently talked about fireplace ash caus-

ing fire. Two more this week, in Waltham on Sunday night and in Upper Riccarton last Wednesday.

You can save an awful lot of heartache by taking ash well away from the house. It’s really that simple.

The association we have now with St Johns ambulance where we turn up to assist at life-threatening incidents has con-fused some people who cannot understand why a fire truck turns up, sometimes before the ambulance.

Our troops are not paramedics. But they are strong fit first aiders who will generally have a defibrillator amongst their tools. They’ll do their utmost to save life just as their expert colleagues in St Johns will if they arrive second.

Two animal rescues this week. The tra-ditional cat up tree and for a change a dog trapped in a gate. Both rescued.

Researchers were amazed with the benefits of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to the human body. CoQ10 is a natural enzyme in the body’s cells essential

for cell function, energy and survival. The heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas require large amounts of CoQ10 to function well.

In a recent multi-country double blind trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to protect against heart failure, 420 patients with severe heart failure were given CoQ10 or a placebo and then followed for two years. It was found that patients who received the CoQ10 had a 50 per cent reduction in an adverse cardiovascular event or death compared to the placebo patients. Also, patients on the CoQ10 had a 50 per cent reduction in death not only from cardiovascular events, but from all causes.

According to lead study author professor Mortensen, this study is the first in over a decade to show a natural nutrient can reduce heart failure mortality, and CoQ10 should be added as a standard treatment for anyone with cardiovascular complaints. Statin drugs are used to treat many patients with cardiovascular problems, but these drugs also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body can be low energy and endurance, muscle pain, poor memory, concentration and poor heart function or heart failure.

CoQ10 levels are known to decrease as we age. Keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient may help prevent many chronic diseases, including cancer. For more info, call Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 388 5757. We are happy to help!

joint healthEggshell Membrane supports

CoQ10 reduces all causes of mortality by 50 per cent

Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) is a revolutionary new joint support ingredient that has been clinically researched to reduce pain and

stiffness of osteoarthritis with noticeable benefits often in as little as 7-10 days. NEM extract is produced from North American sourced egg shells by a patented eco-friendly completely natural manufacturing process which does not use solvents and effectively separates the eggshell membrane from the eggshells. The isolated membrane is then partially hydrolysed using a proprietary process and then dry-blended to produce a 100% pure and natural extract. NEM contains many natural and highly absorbable nutrients including glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, sulphated glycoproteins such as glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and proteins like collagen that are essential for

healthy joints. It is the natural whole-food choice for joint health. NEM has been clinically proven to improve joint health and flexibility faster than any other joint health ingredient. In one study it was 5X more effective than glucosamine and chondroitin. It has no known side effects (unless you have an egg allergy) and no drug interactions are known. It not only benefits arthritic people, but is ideal for athletes, sportspeople and those who want to support their joint health. It is also safe for use with animals. The recommended adult dose as used in the clinical research is only one small 500mg capsule daily.

Further information on this remarkable product is available from our Naturopathic Doctor & Medical Herbalist or one of our natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

FOOD

Suddenly, a vegetarian at the tableAT THE age of 16 my son turned vegetarian. The guy who honed his cooking skills over the barbecue, the guy who was the envy of his friends when he turned on the Thai chicken curry, the guy who relished eating a juicy fi-let steak then wiping the plate clean was now a “veggie”.

Other family members thought he was weird and wanted none of it. I just thought he was a pain.

The ingredients to cater to his whims were supplied, but he had to help cook them. I love vegetarian meals because they are relatively inexpensive and taste great. But not every night.

Quiche—that was okay until he told me “real men don’t eat them”; beans were accept-able in small doses (we know they cause flatulence) as long as they were served Tex Mex style; cheeseburgers (sans meat) were a brief passion until his girlfriend said he was getting fat; then came stir-fried vegetables with ginger and garlic—stirred with lash-ings of sweet soy sauce. But in all these delights, where was the protein?

We need protein to main-tain and repair body tissue and it does provide a “full”

feeling for longer. Meat has the perfect combination of amino acids for protein and it is also rich in other essential nutrients.

Dairy products are also a good source of protein, as are dried peas, beans and lentils.

When you follow a plant-based diet, you need to eat a variety of foods to meet requirements for protein, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin B12.

There are three main types of vegetarian diets: the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet allows dairy products and eggs; the lacto vegetarian diet excludes eggs but keeps dairy products; the vegan diet excludes all meat and animal products. Luckily, son followed the first.

The heir to the family silver carried out his mantra with verve for 10 months, after which, for a few years, he hardly touched a vegetable. PS: Son is now married to a vegetarian. Most nights he cooks two different meals.

Stir-fry a fewminutesmore, then add 1 tsp saltand 2 cups chicken stock.Cover and cook 20minutesor until vegetables aretender, stir in 1 cupmilk andblend until smooth. Addmore salt if necessary plusfreshly ground black pepperand 1 tbsp chopped freshherbs, such as parsley,chives and thyme. Reheatgently, sprinklingindividual serves withgrated cheddar.

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.

‘‘Whenharvested, theywere keptexclusively forthe Inca kings.

WHOwould havethought that thehumble spudwasonce regarded asboth a food and a

fashion accessory fit for royalty?Native to South America,potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,

Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of

packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

Q A&How can I tell if persimmons areastringent or non-astringentvarieties?Both kinds look similar:orange, with a smooth skinand no core. But those onsale in supermarkets aremost likely to be non-astringent varieties,delicious to eat in slices

while fresh and crisp. Themore old-fashionedastringent persimmonsneed to be soft and almostjelly-like before they tastegood, although both kindsare an excellent source ofvitamin C and traceelements. Note that evennon-astringent trees canproduce astringent fruit ifthe summer is not hotenough.

Is it best to make cakes withhigh grade flour or standardflour?High grade and standarddon’t refer to the overallquality of the flour, theyindicate the gluten content.Inmost instances it doesn’t

make a great deal ofdifference, but high gradeis recommended for fruitcakes, flaky pastry andbread, while standard flourhelpsmake tender scones,shortcrust pastry, pikeletsand delicate cakes. It wouldalso pay to checkwhat itsays on the packet, asdifferent brands containdifferent blends of flour.

Intermediates are exciting places for

students to begin their adventure into

adolescence. In addition to providing a

rich, age and stage, middle-years specific

curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and

rewarding environment, intermediates cater

for many interest groups and clubs.

It is not surprising that New Zealand and

overseas research concludes that the quality

of teaching is one of the most significant

factors influencing how well students learn

at school. Given that quality teaching occurs

in most New Zealand schools regardless of

their type, it’s only natural to consider other

factors that might make a difference for early

adolescents.

The young people at intermediates are

changing rapidly – physically, emotionally

and socially. Intermediates focus solely

on this age group and are well positioned

to meet their needs. A mix of specialist

and home room teachers helps to provide

the choices, challenge, love for practical

activities and academic rigour in the

students’ learning. Resourcing, both human

and physical, that is developed deliberately

to meet early adolescent student needs,

helps to build self esteem, assist students

to develop and find strengths and links

learning with career aspirations. Teachers

who are focused solely on the middle years

are able to work collaboratively to provide

level-appropriate engaging programmes

that connect learning to students’ lives

and interests and provide challenge for all

students to achieve to the best of their ability.

Current intermediate school students list

these points:

1. “There are more children of my own age

here because our school takes all the year

sixes from a few different schools and they

come to one school. And because we’ve got

bigger numbers of pupils we can have more

sports teams and … there’s something for
