Mayhem in the mudSt Anne’s Catholic School pupil Aidan-Jeremiah Aileone, 7, didn’t mind getting his clean clothes dirty at the school’s ‘grit challenge’ mud run last week. The challenge was one of sev-eral events the school held as part of Catholic Schools Day.Other events included a cross country race as well as music, dance and reflection workshops.

Lincoln Rd plan criticisedTOM DOUDNEY

Plans to widen Lincoln Rd to cope with increasingly heavy traffic volumes have been criticised on the grounds that it would “destroy” Addington.

The Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board’s submission on the city council’s Annual Plan outlined its opposition to the planned conversion of Lincoln Rd from two lanes to four be-tween Wrights Rd and Curletts Rd.

Board chairwoman Karolin

Potter said the board’s opposi-tion to the project was because it would clear the way for widen-ing the road further up, between Whiteleigh Ave and Moorhouse Ave, which would ruin the con-nection between each side of the street.

“I am absolutely adamant that the new south-west suburbs’ requirement that they get into town in 15 minutes does not include destroying the inner-city suburbs,” Ms Potter said.

“If people live there they should expect to take 40 minutes

to get to work either by cycle or public transport and not expect that motorways will be put through to get them there in 15 minutes.”

Ms Potter said Waltham had been destroyed by Brougham St having been converted from two to four lanes in the late 1980s.

City council head of trans-port Chris Gregory said there were no current plans to widen Lincoln Rd between Whiteleigh Ave and Moorhouse Ave but the section would be the subject of

further studies.The board’s submission also

highlighted “unprecedented expressions of public concern” about how the increased traf-fic on roads in the ward was making it difficult to turn right at intersections, especially when exiting hill suburbs like Cracroft and Cashmere.

It requested that plans to install traffic lights at the in-tersection of Worsleys Rd and Cashmere Rd in 2021 be brought forward with planning to start in the coming financial year.

Ms Potter said she intended to request a meeting with city council chief executive Dr Karleen Edwards to discuss her concerns about the high demand for traffic engineering solutions and the ability of a “small number” of city council staff to respond to it.

A retirement village chain plans to put air sampling equipment on the properties of Cashmere residents who complained of bad smells coming from its laundry and kitchen.

Chemical-like odours wafting from Rose St’s Cashmere View Retirement Village kitchen and laundry have dogged residents for more than three years.

Residents were angered in Oc-tober after Environment Canter-bury confirmed it had withdrawn an abatement notice and said it was no longer monitoring the site as it now complied with the permitted activity regional rule.

Ashgrove Tce resident Lyn Coulbeck said alterations made by Bupa, including the installa-tion of new kitchen and laundry filters in May, had made very little difference to the smell.

“We would be on the deck all the time in the weekend if it weren’t for this odour, but we have chosen to have morning and afternoon tea inside because of the smell,” she said.

“At times you feel that it is irritating your nose and your throat.”

Lower Cashmere Residents Association member Sue Bye

said other residents had had sim-ilar experiences with odour and it was “pretty jolly poor” when residents couldn’t sit outside on their own property.

Bupa, which operates the retirement village, trialled air sampling equipment on its own site in April. Southern regional manager Jan Summerell said it was now waiting on residents’ permission to begin sampling on their properties.

“Bupa are committed to the lo-cal community and are therefore concerned and intend to find a

solution to the problem as soon as possible.”

Spreydon-Heathcote Com-munity Board chairwoman Karolin Potter

said she didn’t believe the laun-dry should have been permitted

to operate in a residential zone.“The board supports the resi-

dents,” she said“All we can do is keep talking

to Bupa and keep asking Bupa to act.”

ECan spokesman Don Chittock (left)said while ECan believed the smell had been stopped, it would be happy to reinvestigate if the community board believed it was necessary to do so.

Chemical odour forcing residents indoors

SMELLY PROBLEM: Residents living near the Cashmere View Retirement Home say odours coming from Bupa’s laundry and kitchen have continued to plague them.

CONSENT LODGED TO REPAIR PUMP HOUSEA resource consent application to repair and strengthen a category two heritage building on the site known as The Pump House, on Tuam St, has been lodged with the city council. The consent also requests approval to demolish the lean-to structure at the back of the building. The site contains a complex of Oamaru stone buildings with gabled roofs and distinctive arched windows built in the 19th-century and used as a Christchurch Drainage Board workshop from 1923 to 1989. Demolition and recycling business City Salvage Contractors has been operating from the site since 1990.

PARK SCORES WELLHoon Hay Park has come through a ‘crime prevention through environmental design’ assessment with flying colours. The assessment scored the park on a range of factors such as layout and visibility from neighbouring properties which are thought to assist in deterring criminal activity. It was conducted by city council staff to provide information for an investigation into whether lights could be installed at the park’s basketball court so people can play after dark.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

It seems to have taken forever but this week I finally left for work with ice on the truck windscreen.

We’re only a fortnight from winter proper and from here on I’d expect the climate will reflect that.

This means all those things that colder weather bring us can be expected to happen. Things like seeing walls or wood sheds burnt down because someone has taken the ash out in the wrong type of container and left it in the wrong place.

Things like electric blankets left on too long with weight on them setting beds on fire. Things like the placing of stuff that can burn too close to a heater or fire. It’s time to be just a bit more careful.

This week’s weather included the very high winds that struck on Monday night.

The Fire Service were turned out to about 15 calls related to the big blow. From power

lines down to roofs lifting these were widespread throughout the region. Little River’s brigade were turned out to three separate trees over within an hour.

The city crew was sent to an empty fire damaged house that threatened to lose the roof and a whole two-storey wall. It was busy for an hour or two.

The church in Bishopdale that was set alight last Sunday morning is a pretty sad com-mentary on the modern world. Once churches were places anyone could go for sanctuary. Now they need locked doors and security. Not a great reflection on progress is it?

Be careful with heating in the cold weather

St Martins resident Leith McMurray writes about the impending demolition of the 152-year-old Enfield Villa in Burke St, Addington, which is to be replaced by a block of flats.

I knew the Enfield Villa many years ago when Pat Allen bought it in a derelict state and restored it beautifully.

The only new piece then was a bathroom built in the style of the rest of the house.

I had a 1910 villa further down the street and Pat helped me with mine as well. Unfor-tunately, after I sold it (having restored it) it was demolished and a walkway laid through the property.

The Enfield Villa is such a gem and one of the earliest houses remaining in Christ-church. I’m appalled that Heri-tage New Zealand poured scorn on it. It has a very large section and could easily fit a block of flats as well.

Pat laid the brick drive her-self, digging it out to a depth of nine inches and making several trips to Glentunnel to bring back bricks. She and her friend Murray took down several trees which had overgrown the house and blocked the light.

Many hundreds of woman (and man) hours went into that wee house. Perhaps it could

have been sent to Ferrymead?Some years ago I tried to

interest Diana, Lady Isaacs in acquiring it for her little village, but I suspect she was in declin-ing health at the time and that never happened.

It should be preserved as an example of old Addington.

Hoon Hay resident Gary Knight writes:

As the controversy relating to heritage buildings evolves as a platform of debate and forum of opinion, there are structures worthy of repair and restoration.

Seismic strengthening of Tai Tapu’s Otahuna lodge in 2011 and earthquake proofing of Dia-mond harbour’s Godley House in 2012 bears testimony to the importance of both of these venues.

There exists, however, Enfield Villa in Addington, also worthy of sustaining.

Having been through three owners since 1862 and hav-ing undergone medium to large preservation modifica-tions would surely deem this villa worth of saving, due to its heritage.

Preservation of Enfield Villa while building additional rental facilities and presentation of the villa as a historic show-piece, with a nominal visitor fee, would surely be of mon-etary benefit to the close knit community of Addington, as opposed to demolition of this iconic structure, having been one of Addington’s first homes, for placement of yet another concrete jungle of apartment blocks.

Prisoners may be given a bicycle on their release, thanks to a new youth offender project.

A repair workshop has been set up in a disused shed at Christchurch Men’s Prison, which has youth offenders repairing old bicycles.

Once they are ready they are given to released prisoners who may be in need of the most basic means of transport in their early days of release.

The idea came from Youth Unit staff who have been coming up with innovative ideas to provide the youth prisoners with activities.

Principal Corrections Officer Gary Smallridge said the focus of the project is to identify ways to keep youth engaged in education and learning.

“We aim to provide activities that not only occupy the young prisoner’s time but also add to their learning, with tasks that a typical young person would be interested in,” he said.

The project is proving to be a hit with the youth offenders, said youth unit corrections

officer Kieran Giles, who is helping with the project.

Mr Giles said he has combined his bicycle mechanical and adventure outdoor experience to help young men learn real mechanical skills.

The Pathway Trust has been

supplying tools to repair and restore the bicycles.

He said he intends to refurbish the old prison bicycles before being provided with disused ones from the community through The Pathway Trust’s donations.

REJUVENATION SCHEME: Youth Unit Corrections Officer Kieran Giles helping one of the youth help restore a bicycle as part of the prison’s new youth strategy acceleration project.

EDMONDS GATE COULDGO UP AGAINA recovered Edmonds Factory garden gate may be installed in the again, in spite of a new gate having already been put in. The gate was stolen in March last year and found recently on the roadside at Takaka Hill in Nelson. Melanie Edmonds, a Nelson woman, pleaded guilty to stealing it. Friends of the Edmonds Factory Garden spokesman John Hoskin said a new spot in the garden could be found for the gate. The group would discuss a potential location and could then make a suggestion to the city council.

HUNT ON FOR NEW PRINCIPALLinwood Avenue School is aiming to appoint its next principal by the start of August. Gerard Direen will finish in September after four years in the position. The board of trustees was expected to begin the process for appointing a new principal this week.

KINDLING FUNDRAISERAn Environment Canterbury kindling fundraiser will be launched at Woolston’s Te Waka Unua School today at 1pm. The fundraiser aims to raise money for schools and community groups, help people fine-tune their burning technique, and reduce air pollution in Canterbury. ECan says one of the keys to an efficient fire is using enough kindling at the outset but many people don’t use enough.

Ravensdown has made changes to reduce its impact on the Heathcote River by stopping pollutants leaving its Hornby site through stormwater discharge.

All stormwater discharged from Ravensdown enters the Hayton’s Retention Pond and then the upper Heathcote River.

Goals have been set to improve the quality of water in the Heathcote to enhance overall river health.

Both business and domestic sources contribute to nitrate and phosphate levels.

A year-long specialist study detailed Ravensdown’s storm-water ‘footprint’ and where the company could improve. Several measures have been implemented to limit fertiliser dust.

The company has also fo-cused on capturing and recy-cling more water for use in the manufacturing process.

Environment Canterbury pol-lution prevention officer Jenny Watters said the Hayton’s Re-tention Pond area had been identified for improvement due to its poor water quality.

Puzzle expert in the zone

Elizabeth, you are the New Zealand Sudoku champion, how does that feel?

It feels pretty good. I was really pleased with my score be-cause I did better than last year. I was really in the zone that day.

So it is all about the personal score rather than beating other players?

Pretty much. I think the score matters more as I am trying to beat myself. I like to see im-provement in everything I do.

So when you found out you had won how did that feel?

I actually thought there might have been a problem with the website when I saw my score. But then I realised I had beaten my last year’s score by quite a bit so I got pretty excited. Last year I placed second, I was extra determined this year as I had lost last year by the tiniest of margins.

What did you win?The New Zealand Puzzle As-

sociation is posting a medal and a shirt to me for being the New Zealand champion.

Tell me what it is like to compete in a sudoku tourna-ment?

It is a really friendly sort of competition because everyone is really competing with them-selves. It is online and you can have as many goes as you want so there really is no pressure. I get the puzzle and just dive straight in, then it is just me and the puzzle.

How did you get into su-doku?

I have always loved puzzles. I like to try all them out and they are so accessible so I can get them anywhere. I have been into them since I was a little kid.

What made you want to start competitively doing sudoku?

I found the website when I was poking around on the inter-net, did a few for fun then saw

there was a competition and said might as well have a go.

Do you win prize money for the events?

That would be nice, but no. It is all about personal satisfaction for me anyway, I just

want to beat my last score.What was the first puzzle

you did?I can’t remember what I got

into first. I know I started off with puzzle books that have a variety of different ones in it to challenge myself.

Where did she go to school?I went to Burnside High.Tell me a bit about how

school was for you? I quite enjoyed school. I was

quite motivated and kept my head down.

Were you good at maths at school?

At high school I was good at maths and science. But

at primary school I was pretty good at English and literacy in general. But there was a switch in high school I am not sure how that came about.

Tell me a bit about your friends?

We were not sporty at all although a few of us did get into bal-let. I love movies and coffee all the usual.

Elizabeth Challies, 34, was recently crowned the 2016 New Zealand open vaki puzzle and sudoku champion. She bounced back from nar-rowly losing last year by seven points to register a record score of 14,195. She speaks to Andrew King

Does being able to think logi-cally to solve puzzles help you with your job?

Well, I work at the post office so it doesn’t really help all that much. Thinking logically really helps me with puzzles but it gets a bit much sometimes so I have taken up abstract painting to pull myself in a new direction.

Abstract painting, that’s a bit different from puzzles?

Yes, it is but I love it. I like making a mess with the paint on a canvas. It is just something a bit different.

Do you have any other hob-bies?

Painting is the main other hobby aside from puzzles. I also like going to the gym and I am part of a writers’ group.

What do you do with the writers’ group?

The writers are a group of people interested in writing and reading. It is a lot of fun and I have met a few good people in it.

Speaking of friends, do you get them coming to you for sudoku pointers?

Not really. Most people say I can’t do those but they have never attempted to do one. I tell them to chose an easy one and

give it a go. You never know you could be good at them.

Have you ever been com-pletely stumped by a sudoku puzzle?

Yes, I have. I find sometimes when I get stuck I put it away then come back to it and then I find I can work it out quite easy. Sometimes you look and look and look and can’t see what the pattern is, when that happens it is best to put it away and come back to it later while you mind is fresh.

Was this year’s score your best ever?

Yes 14,195 is my best score ever. It is tallied by a combina-

tion of time and points. You lose a point for every second you spend solving a puzzle, gain points for a correct placement and lose points for a mistake. At the end of the thirty minutes the four highest scores from solved puzzles are added together and that is your championship score. You can chose the size and diffi-cultly of the puzzle, bigger ones get you more points so you work out which one will you will able to complete in the time allowed.

Now you are the New Zea-land champion, will you try be the world champion?

I hadn’t thought of that. I would have to look into it.

The city council had taken another step towards getting the city’s school children back on their bikes following the devastating 2011 earthquakes.

Cycle Safe was a programme that teaches Christchurch school children the basics of cycling but also gives them confidence to cycle the busy city streets.

The programme came to a halt in some schools after the earthquakes severely damaged many roads.

City council cycle safety education coordinator Sarah Cooper said it was extremely important children were taught cycle safety, even more so post-earthquake.

It was a skill that applies to all aspects of transport and even more importantly it was teaching them “how to approach Christchurch roads appropriately” instead of avoiding cycling all together.

Many other initiatives had come into Christchurch to encourage people to get back on their bikes.

The Christchurch Bike Share programme was introduced

last year, encouraging people in the city centre to use the bikes as an alternative form of transport.

Similar bike sharing pro-grammes had been hugely suc-cessful overseas in cities such as Paris and New York.

In 2006, Land Transport New Zealand conducted research that found 15 per cent of Christchurch residents regularly cycled and 32 per cent would consider cycling if it was safer.

Even pre-quake it was clear more could be done to make cycling safer.

Rebuilding stronger in your community

Programme funded by

BUDDING MEDICS: Room 7 pupils at Bamford School recently had a visit from New Zealand Red Cross commu-nity trainer Sta-cey James who taught them some first aid skills last week. Pupils received certificates as at the end of the visit.

Linwood College is embarking on its rebuild process by asking its local communities to share their hopes and dreams.

The college and nine community groups, known as the Bays and South Cluster, will work together to carry out con-sultation from June 1 - 24.

Together they will tap into the natural catchment areas the school serves to hear what the community want to see for the new campus.

The feedback will shape the college’s edu-cational brief to the Min-istry of Education. Once approved, this brief will

form the basis of the Col-lege’s development.

The physical work will begin in 2017.

Principal Richard Ed-mundson said while buildings alone did not necessarily improve edu-cation, the rebuild was important.

“The two most impor-tant things are the rela-tionship with the teacher and the personalisation of learning, but there is also no doubt of the power of new, purpose-built build-ings and spaces.”

Mr Edmundson said the school was lucky to have huge diversity in its com-munity.

“We have Filipino com-

munities, Pakeha, Maori and Pasifika communi-ties, and from all around the world. In our global world, this is a great op-portunity to become cul-turally competent along with academic proficien-cy.”

Bays and South Cluster spokeswoman Linda Rut-land appealed for people to take part in the process

“Anyone who has an interest in the school’s wellbeing is encouraged to participate in the con-sultation so we have the greatest breadth of ideas and passions on how to rebuild Linwood as the school of choice for our communities,” she said.

Moving lessons out of Linwood College’s library may be encouraging its students to read more.

The number of books being taken out at the library almost doubled from about 530 in the first term of last year to more

than 900 in term one of this year.

Librarian Marion Hale said the library had of-ten been used as an extra classroom last year with scheduled lessons mean-ing it was less available for students wanting to take out books.

A lower roll this year

and change in the time-table had enabled the school to move the les-sons out of the library.

“Last year, the focus wasn’t so much about the library, but this year we have made it about the library again and it is showing very positively,” Ms Hale said.

I have never regretted my decision to go to Hillmorton High School. I genuinely believe it helped shape me into the person I am today.Hillmorton was a combination of different people and cultures like no other place I had been – it made me learn to deal with many types of people. The school was smaller than others in the area which I liked: I wanted to be a person not a number. I had so many great experiences at Hillmorton – playing in the school softball and netball teams and going to tournaments, being in school productions, travelling

to Spain for three weeks with classmates and teachers for one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.After school, I went on to get a degree at Canterbury University and now work in my dream job as the Content Producer for the Simon Barnett and Gary McCormick Breakfast show on MORE FM.Looking back at my time at Hillmorton I know now that I would never have got through that critical time in my life without the support of my teachers and peers. Hillmorton is like a family.

Te Kura Tuarua o HoromakaHillmorton High School

www.hillmorton.school.nz

When it came time to choosing a high school, my parents asked me which Open Nights I would like to attend. My response was ‘Hillmorton’. I am more than pleased with my decision to study at Hillmorton and do not regret it in the slightest.Hillmorton provided me with a wealth of opportunities to learn in different environments, and challenged me to achieve with each and every opportunity.I was also lucky enough to meet a great “melting pot” of people,

which has helped me to relate to, and understand the different people that I interact with on a day-to-day basis.The teachers are second-to-none, and genuinely care about the education of their students. They, and the other Hillmorton staff, encourage students to achieve to the best of their abilities, whilst also making time to help those students who need additional assistance.Hillmorton lives by its vision – Personal best, nothing less!

Hillmorton High helped me realise my passion and to not be afraid to go after what feels right. I discovered that it’s okay to live differently and not go for the job that was stable, that paid the most or that was expected by others. Hillmorton helped me find myself. I also began to learn and accept challenges that were and are bigger than myself, and learn to never yield or give up but to push further than what I think I am capable of.

I was able to learn life skills and important personal qualities that are valuable. I learnt that if you work hard enough, you’ll achieve your goals.I’m currently in my final year at Unitec, Auckland, doing a Bachelor in Performing Arts, majoring in screen and theatre acting. Soon, I’m off to London as part of my secondment in my final year and

I cannot wait! I look forward to finishing this year and gaining my degree.

After graduating from Hillmorton High School in 2012, I enrolled at the University of Canterbury to study for a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering.Now in my final year of the degree, I am well on my way to achieving this with first class honours. I received the University of Canterbury Senior Scholarship.Currently, I have the extraordinary opportunity of completing some of my study at the University of California at Berkeley. During high school

I never thought I would study at one of the top universities in the world, but here I am. Living in the San Francisco area and having this opportunity to study abroad has been life changing, to say the least.Looking forward to next year, I will begin working as a structural engineer at one of the biggest civil engineering firms in the world. The future in this role will enable me to travel the world while working on the design and construction of world class buildings and facilities.

The education I received at Hillmorton has prepared me admirably for starting university this year. Teachers at Hillmorton always went the extra mile to make their subjects challenging and interesting, and support was always there.Hillmorton provides a diverse cultural environment as well as

heaps of sporting, musical and drama opportunities which makes its students such strong, well-rounded citizens.After almost a semester at university, I’m getting a sense that in order to succeed here, you need to get along well with everyone and to study hard. Hillmorton taught me the importance of both.

A Hillmorton couple whose interest in baseball was sparked in the United States have been recognised for their contribution to the game in New Zealand.

Brian Hemera is president of the Canterbury Baseball Association and his wife Lynn Torgerson is the head scorer and secretary of the Southern Astros club.

Both received gift baskets for their volunteer work at Baseball New Zealand’s inaugural prize-giving in Auckland.

They became committee mem-bers of the western Christchurch-based Southern Astros club about five years ago. They were both heavily involved in the club’s de-velopment.

Mrs Torgerson grew up in the United States and followed baseball while she was living there.

Mr Hemera began following the sport when he started trav-

elling to the country to visit her about 15 years ago.

The couple support the Min-nesota Twins and minor league team, the St Paul Saints.

“It’s fantastic recognition for Canterbury baseball, not just us, we’re just figureheads,” Mr He-

mara said.However, they didn’t get in-

volved with the game in Christ-church until their son Jimmy Hem-era became interested in the sport.

Jimmy, 14, discovered the game after playing softball with his friends.

HOME RUN: Lynn Torgerson and Brian Hemera have been recognised for their volunteer service to baseball.

Baseball fans develop game

Cashmere High School’s premier football team couldn’t have hoped for a better start to their season, after capturing the Connetics Shield in the latest of four consecutive victories.

The 4-0 shield victory over Christchurch Boys’ High School means they remain unbeaten in the Mainland Connetics Schools Premier Football Competition having also prevailed 8-2 over Rangiora High School and 1-0 over Middleton Grange in the opening two rounds.

The school also bet Waimea 2-0 in the teams’ annual exchange game.

The Connetics Shield was introduced this season and is

similar to rugby’s Ranfurly Shield, with the holder retaining the shield until it is beaten by a challenger which then becomes the new holder.

Cashmere will hope to become the first team to hold it for more than one game when the team takes on Papanui High School on Wednesday.

Cashmere’s winning start has also laid a solid platform for the team’s goal of qualifying for the Secondary Schools Football Tournament in Tauranga in August and September.

The team has another 10 rounds of games with the hope of qualifying in the number one position.

Cashmere’s unbeaten run earns shield

communication concerns. Physiotherapy, in-clinic or at home, can help you stay mobile, reduce pain and increase wellness.

A particularly beneficial and under-used service is Caring for Carers. Many of us caring for our loved ones see it as our duty and deal with the stresses this brings on a daily basis. Caring for Carers has helped carers through their range of services for years, such as information on respite care. Exercise for lifeThe Centre for Senior Wellbeing will put you in touch with service providers like Physical Sense. They offer a range of practical support-solutions to problems many seniors encounter. There are exercise classes for stroke survivors where clients can either further improve or at least maintain their condition after they leave hospital. There are four classes a week which help with strength, balance and transferrable skills. There are also other diagnosis-specific classes including Intermittent Claudication, Diabetes and Osteoporosis which means users can learn about their condition and share their ways of dealing with it. There’s even a general class for seniors. The first four classes are free and may continue to be free if you are

LIfe CAn get tougher as we get older, and it’s often easy to think that we should simply struggle on. Yet a huge range of services is available to make life easier. Because these services are sometimes difficult to find, a new non-profit Centre for Senior Wellbeing has been established. They offer a useful mix of affordable services and information on other community services such as falls Prevention and Green Prescriptions. Their desk is manned by dedicated staff who will connect you to the services you need. Although much of this information can be found on-line, for many this is a burden and talking to a ‘real person’ is much more pleasant.

Problems with feet is a real issue for many older people with limited flexibility. The Centre offers in-home footcare for a reasonable fee. Additionally, there are services provided by dieticians to help with weight gain or loss, nutrition and shopping. Also occupational therapists who help maintain independence, safety in the home, and practical strategies for coping with issues like memory loss and pain. Speech and language therapists support those with swallowing and

An Ancient spice called turmeric and its active ingredient curcumin have been proven to reduce and even eliminate pain and inflammation better than leading prescription medications. inflammation seems to be the common factor in all disease and even aging. turmeric effectively reduces inflammation while also stopping the initiation of inflammation in the first place. By stopping inflammation at the source it seems to work wonders for aches, pains, swelling and arthritis while at the same time supporting the healing process with its powerful antioxidants. This is where anti-inflammatory drugs fail, they only disguise the problem but do nothing to support the healing process and in fact may even allow the problem to worsen.

india is a country where turmeric is highly respected for its health giving benefits. it is consumed on a regular basis and researchers believe this is probably the reason many common diseases are far less common in india that other countries. A study of 2,700 elderly indians in rural north india found less than 1% had any sign of Alzheimer’s, the lowest rate ever recorded, whereas compared to America the rate is now closer to 33%.

The #1 cancer center in America, MD Anderson, now uses turmeric with its cancer patients. Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, lead researcher at MD Anderson says they have not found a single cancer that curcumin has not worked. curcumin binds to 33 proteins, allowing it to interrupt a

multitude of pathways tumors use to grow and spread, including the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. it can even cause the cancer cells to “commit suicide” without damaging healthy cells.

curcumin appears to be a potent weapon against cardiovascular disease also. in recent research it was shown to lower triglycerides (considered a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease) by 65%. Another study found it to decrease oxidised LDL cholesterol by 33% while increasing the HDL (good cholesterol) by 29%, and all this in only seven days.

Researchers have now shown curcumin to be beneficial in over 600 diseases including type 2 diabetes and even depression.

The secret with turmeric is its active ingredient curcumin. curcumin however has low bio-availability so not much will be absorbed into our bloodstream. Meriva as used in GO-tURMeRic has overcome this problem with its patented molecular delivery system that offers superior absorption of curcumin. Because of this enhanced absorption GO-tURMeRic has the potential to be beneficial in numerous ailments and offer significantly greater benefits than standard turmeric.

TURMERIC - The spice with profound healing abilitiesReSeARcHeRS HAve shown that

certain herbs and natural ingredients can dramatically reduce your chances of succumbing to colds and flu.

Formulas like Go Healthy “Go vir-Defence” has been based on the latest research and has already proved itself too many.

Due to the high potency extracts used in this formula most will find only one or two capsule daily sufficient to keep our immune system at optimum, however at the first sign of any immune attack, e.g. headaches, sore throat, aches etc the dose should be increased to one or two capsules up to three times daily. Most will then find the symptoms will disappear quickly without getting worse.

Go vir-Defence contains the following powerful ingredients:

Olive Leaf extract has become one of the most popular ingredients used in the treatment of immune attacks as it has strong anti-microbial properties that help slow the growth of bacteria and prevent the replication of viruses.

Garlic extract is effective in combating bacteria, viruses and fungi and supporting the immune system. in general it may be used as a preventative for most infectious conditions, digestive as well as respiratory. The anti-microbial action makes it suitable for treatment of respiratory infections, influenza, recurrent colds and respiratory catarrh.

Andrographis extract has powerful

immune enhancing properties and has been shown to help prevent the common cold as well as reduce the duration and severity of the symptoms of the common cold.

echinacea extract is a natural antibiotic and infection fighter. it helps kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and provides powerful immune support.

Pau D’ Arco extract assists in enhancing the body’s immune system.

citrus Bioflavonoids work with vitamin c and support the immune system as well as strengthening capillaries and reducing inflammation.

vitamin c is a powerful antioxidant and helps counteract many types of bacteria and viral infections.

elderberry extract provides nutrients for immune support.

Zinc is an essential mineral for the immune system and general health. it is required by every cell in the body. it is common to have sub-optimal levels of Zinc. Zinc possesses anti-viral activity.

Generally this all-natural formula is very safe and highly effective without any side effects but due to the high potency extracts used please check with us first if you are on any prescription medication. This formula is also not suitable during pregnancy or lactation.

When our owners built their family home, they placed a huge emphasis on both quality and space, creating

an expansive 298.7-square-metre (over foundation) residence, which is as functional as it is stylish and well-appointed.

A total of five bedrooms are complemented by three bathrooms, including an ensuite off the master, ensuite of second bedroom and a main bathroom that features a sumptuous spa bath.

The kitchen is large, with a skylight bathing the entire area in natural light and an array of quality appliances, ensuring the ability to cater to all occasions.

The 2.7-metre stud enhances the sense of space in the living and family rooms, while bold splashes of colour punctuate the otherwise neutral palette, creating plenty of personality while still leaving scope for the new owners to leave their own mark.

Indoor/outdoor flow was a priority in the design phase, and the brief was certainly fulfilled. Two of the bedrooms enjoy direct access outside, while the open plan living areas spill effortlessly out to the manicured grounds.

The 708m2 section plays host to outstanding established gardens and detailed BBQ area (with power and lighting), while an oversized double garage and an abundance of off-street parking complete the appeal.

Offered to the market by owners who have decided the home is simply too big for them

now the kids have gone, this fabulous home represents a compelling opportunity for families of all shapes and sizes. Act quickly, as our owners are ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives and a sale is imminent!
