GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING

The controversial Hornby mega-facility has been delayed after the city council revealed plans to push back several community projects.

The South West Leisure Centre was to open in mid-2018 and New Hornby Library and Service Centre in mid-2017, but is now not expected to open until 2019.

New Hornby Library and South West Leisure Centre was scheduled to open in the second half of 2017. Along with the library and service centre, the South West Leisure Centre was supposed to open in mid-2018.

Last week, the city council announced that it would delay many projects, including the pro-posed mega-facility, in a bid to spread cost and resource across a more realistic timeframe.

But for the Hornby Rugby Club, who may need to move from Denton Park if the facility is put there, the delay is wel-comed news.

Sports clubs had been horrified to learn their home ground is likely to be the facilities’ location, forcing them out.

Hornby Rugby League Club President John Catchpole said the delay means they will not

have to scramble to find a new homeground if Denton Park is the chosen location.

“As far as the Hornby Rugby Club is concerned it doesn’t af-fect us. We are more than happy to keep using Denton Park,” he said.

But others are disappointed by the delay.

The Hub Hornby centre

manager Jason Marsden said the facility should be a high prior-ity with the city council, based on the population growth in Hornby.

He said he was struggling to think of amenity that has been put in by the city council since the Denton Park Velodrome in 1974.

“There is high growth in the

area and the council needs to respond to that,” he said.

Riccarton-Wigram Commu-nity Board chairman Mike Mora said while he was disappointed he thought it was the right call.

“I think with the cuts and the difficult decisions they had to make things had to be shifted so I am not too critical about it but it is still disappointing.”

They are known as man’s best friend – but for some people, they can be so much more.

The Blind Foundation’s Red Puppy street appeal, which raises money for breeding and training guide dogs, is taking place on Friday and Saturday.

The dogs give people who are blind or have low vision the confidence to live an independent life, including carrying out everyday tasks such as catching the bus, crossing the road, or going to work.

Glenys Lintott became a puppy walker because her son Carl is deaf/blind. He now has his second guide dog, Umar.

“We’re doing it because we want to enable someone else to live as independently as Carl does.”

She has been looking after puppy Vesper, who arrived last April and was one of the first two puppies sent to Christchurch after the February 2011 earthquake.

However, having a nine-week-old puppy in the house was a world away from the trained guide dogs the family was used to.

“We’re really pleased we did it

before we were going to change the carpet and the lino. We now have holes in both,” she said.

In spite of the hard work and challenges that come with being a puppy walker, Ms Lintott said it has been a great experience and one she will definitely repeat.

Although it will be hard to give Vesper back when he is ready to start guide dog training, Glenys said she is emotionally prepared.

Guide dogs go through two years of rigorous training before graduating. Once assigned, their working life averages between eight and 10 years.

Blind Foundation spokeswoman Alison Wheatlwey said people all the costs for breeding and training are met by public donations.

Keep an eye out for collectors, donate online at redpuppy.org.nz, or text PUPPIES to 305 to donate $3.

Red Puppy Appeal under way

MILESTONE: Glenys Lintott and her family have been looking after future guide dog Vesper.

IN TRAINING: Glenys Lintott and Vesper, out and about.

RESERVE NAMEDThe Riccarton-Wigram Community Board approved that the Ishwar Drainage Reserve is to be re-named the Ishwar Ganda Drainage Reserve.

John McFetridge responded to Western News article on the city’s first painted intersection between Shand Cres and Tara St, Riccarton:

You asked for comment plus would you like to see this in your community?’

The answer to the latter is no and I will state my reasons. I think the people promoting it are well-intentioned but ill-informed. I have been involved on the fringe of the roadmaking industry for most of my life and remember one city asking for advice about 20 years ago. They had used paint so slippery that even pedestrians were falling over on the pedestrian crossings when it rained!

The National Roads Board (now New Zealand Transport Agency) introduced about that time a specified skid resistance for road marking paints, and each product now in use has to be certified for skid resistance. Since that time the comments that reached me, mainly from cyclists and motor cyclists, about slippery paint ceased.

So although I am not a lawyer it may well be illegal to paint a road with non-certified paint. But legal or not who is going to be considered responsible in today’s environment when the first accident or worse occurs.

1. The purpose of paint on roads is to

help traffic take a logical, intuitive and safe path. This is mostly done using lines and arrows. The paint products used are required to meet a specified “skid resistance” and to be certified by a registered laboratory. (This would be required of the yellow no-parking lines on the edge of your published picture, although no traffic runs over them.)

2. A great blob of patterned paint on the curve of Shand Cres will not give vehicles a logical path to follow. It may be okay in daylight, but on a dark night and maybe wet road a driver could become confused or maybe think he/she is about to run over some obstacle and take evasive action, and with the added slipperiness, actually crash.

3. Roads are for transport and are not a playground. That decoration is like something suited to a kindergarten playground and could well encourage young children onto the road – a very dangerous place even if it’s a quiet street, maybe more so.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Last week we had what felt like a last hurrah and farewell from summer with some 30 deg C days.

While we can’t be sure there won’t be some more, each week as autumn progresses the prospect becomes more remote. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the timeliness of having electric blankets checked out and this is a good time for those fortunate amongst us to still be using fireplaces to have the flu or chimney cleaned.

It’s a regular occurrence each year for fire crews to be turned out on the first really cold evening to chimney fires. Don’t be embarrassed.

The arson fires widely reported in the media in Parklands this week need

solving. Because the actions of the offender are truly frightening. It’s one thing to light bins, skips or scrub. It’s another to set fire to houses when the occupants are asleep inside.

Smoke alarms, smoke alarms, smoke alarms. This, and making sure your home is secure are the main defences you have against this person. Use them.

The occupant of a house in Northwood had a fortuitous escape last Saturday when they woke up in the morning to the smell of gas and found the kitchen and dining room reeking. Somehow she had left the gas on. Amazingly, leaking away and mixing with air the resultant gas cloud did not find an ignition source.

What could have been a tragedy finished with St Albans crew opening doors and windows to clear the house. That’s a lucky escape.

For my next article, I want to share a story about one gutsy, determined little 14 year old schnauzer “Max“ and his wonderful family who loved him with all their hearts. It was obvious Max was a very integral, valued member of their family and they turned to us for help. They weren’t ready to let him go, but he was 14 and often it can be a hard decision to decide when is “the right time” to let go! My initial job was to do preliminary testing urgently, stabilise and support Max and provide pain medication, until we had a grip on his problem list….which by the way was quite extensive.

Max presented to me in a very bad way. He appeared to have acutely gone down hill and when I saw him he was completely off his legs, unable to stand, not having eaten that morning and he looked as though we could lose him if we didn’t act quickly. He was immediately admitted, placed on intravenous fluids and pain medications and a series of blood tests run. One of our nurses was stationed with Max all day, constantly monitoring and medicating him, repositioning and toileting Max. Max was sick and required 24 hour care – in fact 24 hour care continued for a week and after each day with us, he was transferred to the After Hours clinic through the night. These sick patients deserve 1 on 1 care with an individualised hospital plan. As vets, all 5 of us were involved in this case.

Max’s diagnoses list was large.

1. We found a splenic tumour on ultrasound that required major abdominal surgery to remove it in case it ruptured.

2. He had severe inflammation/ infection of unknown origin (possibly pancreatitis or discospondylosis) which finally responded to intravenous antibiotics.

3. He had severe blood loss anemia which was a complication of chronic illness. It responded to treatment for stomach ulcers, which he may have had.

4. Severe abdominal pain that didn’t initially respond to medications – either referred spinal pain or true abdominal pain which resolved as the infection/ inflammation subsided.

5. All 4 legs were weak and he was incoordinated and couldn’t stand or walk for days, maybe again as a result of infection/ inflammation.

This sad, frustrating, and at times stressful case pushed us, as vets and intensive care nurses caring for Max, to our limits BUT the rewards were HUGE. We witnessed a courageous, spirited, stoic and very brave little dog trot on out of our clinic eventually, like nothing the previous week had even happened. It was a moment we will never forget. It just wasn’t Max’s time for the “next chapter” in his life – he knew it all along and we came to realise it.

Max’s family support couldn’t have been stronger. Everyone in the family was involved in transporting him to the afterhours over night, visiting constantly, medicating and helping him recuperate. They showed him unconditional love and he showed them his “fight” for life. As Ange aptly puts it, ”Max is in better health now than we have seen for months. We are thrilled, his illness fooled us into thinking he was in the “Departure lounge” of life!!”

All I can say is Patience, Time, Faith, great Medicine and Love heals everything. A special thanks to my AWESOME team of vets and nurses who put hours of time and energy into ensuring Max’s stay was the very BEST in everyway and all his needs were met and delivered with care and respect. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome.

New Brighton Pier’s fishing ban has been deemed a success, after numbers showed more people are now visiting.

Since the Sunday-only ban on fishing and crabbing was introduced in December, there has been a steady increase of visitors, peaking with 954 people on January 24.

Now, the group that looks after the pier intends to investigate whether there should be a permanent ban, or add more no-fishing days.

New Brighton Pier and Foreshore society deputy

chairman Tim Sintes said people were coming back now the danger of fishing rods is no longer there on Sundays.

“Word is getting out you can be out there [on the pier] without running the gauntlet of fishing rods,” he said.

He said the group would assess how the ban had gone, and may look at increasing the number of non-fishing days or put in place a permanent ban.

“We will assess how it has all gone next summer and look at what we can improve on,” he said.

The Burwood-Pegasus Community Board decided in December to ban fishing and crabbing off the New Brighton Pier every Sunday, from 10am to 5pm for 12 months.

Mr Sintes said it was a good compromise because for the other days of the week people could fish.

“It is what you call a win-win,” he said.

City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said “a few” fishers have had to be asked to depart at the start of the exclusion period of 10am in the mornings.

“I would estimate that there were less than half a dozen turned away each day over the past two months (eight Sundays) since the implementation,” he said.

More visitors since ban

SLIGHT INCREASE: A fishing and crabbing ban on the New Brighton Pier on Sundays has been labelled a success by a community board member.

Rules for pier seen as success

GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING

A physical education class will be undertaking its biggest challenge yet with a fundraising run from Burnside High School to Akaroa.

The year 13 sports leadership class is running to Akaroa in a bid to raise money for breast cancer and prostate cancer.

The goal is to raise $5,000 with the class split in half to raise money for the two foundations.

Physical education teacher Sam Ryburn said

the fundraiser is based around a NCEA unit where students are required to contribute to a team or group that has an objective.

The students will be running in relays for the event.

Mr Ryburn said the students will have to run a minimum of 14km each but if they do over and above it will go towards their charity.

He said he is hoping Burnside High School will be able to hold a mufti day for the event.

“It’s a big school. We have got about 2,500

students. So a dollar each. It’s a good start towards our fundraising.”

Year 13 student Hannah Grant said some people in the class are running for members of their family.

She said the breast cancer society recently contacted the class giving them ribbons and posters to put up in their classroom.

“It is a great way to support the charities,” she said.

To support the fundraiser, go to https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/bhsruntoakaroa

FITNESS: Burnside High School students training in preparation for their run from the school to Akaroa in May.

Burnside High School’s girls volleyball team has won the Canterbury Secondary Schools volleyball championships held recently at Pioneer Stadium.

The Burnside High School girl’s A and B team won both division one and division 2 of the competition.

The girl’s team overall won the tournament after beating Aranui High School by 3-1 on Sunday.

The team has had a win-ning streak after only two weeks before winning the Mainland Volleyball Cham-pionships, beating Marlbor-ough Girls 3-1.

Physical education teach-er Sam Ryburn said the team got off to a rough start but

played well in the last cou-ple of games.

Mr Ryburn said the team has a lot to live up to after winning South Island sec-ondary school champion-ships and nationals last year.

He said the team lost seven players last year and is in the process of “rebuilding the team”.

“To in both South Island championships so far puts us in a reasonable place for nationals. So they are going to have a good crack at it,” he said.

The NZSS Nationals to be held in Palmerston North has had a record number of teams enter the competition with about 171 entries this year.

CHAMPIONS: Burnside High School girls won the Canterbury Secondary Schools volleyball championships over the weekend.

BEFORE: The play-ground at Portobelo Preschool and Nursery was well overdue for a makeover.

DURING: There was great excite-ment at Portobelo Preschool and Nursery last month as their new playground was con-structed.

AFTER: Portobelo Preschool and Nursery had a new lawn, sand pit and “lazy river” installed last week.

Portobelo Preschool and Nursery has had a makeover and the children “love it”. Work began at the beginning of February and opened up for the children recently. The new playground features a new sand pit, lazy river and “mud kitchen”. Portobelo Preschool owner Lyn Eder said the preschool also has fresh grass sown and is growing well. “The real grass is amazing for kids to play on, but it gets a hard life,” she said.

Oaklands School pupils embraced diversity at their Multicutural Day.

The day featured a great mixture of activities, colours and costumes from a variety of countries.

Principal’s PA Yvonne Stills said parents from several different ethnicities visited classrooms and taught pupils cultural games and crafts.

Presentations were also made by parents from differ-ent cultures comparing life in New Zealand with life in their home countries.

In the afternoon the school was treated to an assembly showcasing the talents of the school’s students, parents and school supporters.

Ms Stills said students were involved in every facet of organising and running the assembly and with the help and support of the staff.

She said the school had a wonderful afternoon of music, dance and even a tae-kwando demonstration.

“It was amazing to see what our students can achieve and how hard some of them had worked to ensure that their items really showcased their talents.”

TOM DOUDNEY

Death and serious injury on Canterbury roads cost the country almost $2 billion between 2010 and 2014.

Statistics provided by the New Zealand Transport Agency show that during this five-year period there were 1583 crashes on Canterbury roads where someone either died or sustained a serious injury.

NZTA has estimated that altogether these crashes resulted in ‘social costs’ of $1,999,340,000.

Social costs are estimated from a range of factors such as the cost of hospitalisation, further medical treatment and ACC; legal costs like crash investigation, imprisonment and running court cases; loss of economic output from those killed or injured; and property damage.

The 1583 crashes included 190 where at least one person lost their life, and 1393 additional crashes involving at least one serious injury.

Overall, 203 people died and 1620 suffered serious injuries.

The worst year for fatalities, during this period, was 2013, when 49 people lost their lives, closely followed by 2010 with 48 deaths.

Last year, 46 people died on

Canterbury roads.NZTA southern regional

director Jim Harland said the ramifications of serious injury and fatality crashes were huge, “not only on the people directly involved but on their wider networks and the community as a whole.”

Figures also showed hospitalisations from Canterbury crashes had fallen steadily,

going from 569 in the 12 months to June 1995, to 385 in the 12 months to June 2015. This had happened even as the vehicle kilometres travelled on Canterbury roads had increased from 4.4 billion in 2000/2001 to 5.7 billion in 2013/2014.

Mr Harland said that trend was positive and would be related to the ‘safe system’ approach, which

authorities had increasingly been applying to road safety matters.

This meant looking beyond driver behaviour at other factors such as more effective enforcement by police, newer and safer vehicles, improvements to the roading environment, encouraging safer speed limits, as well as promoting education and awareness.

Social cost of crashes ‘huge’ More respite care for children at new centreEMMA-JANE MCLENNANPost-quake demand for respite care will likely see Cholmondeley Children’s Centre look after about 400 children this year, up from 350 a year for 2014-2015.

Its new, more spacious centre will be well-used, chief executive Shane Murdoch said.

“There’s been a 50 per cent increase in need for respite care post-quake, and now with the new building we can take those children in.”

The children’s charity held a successful ‘back on the map’ campaign to raise $4 million for its new $6.5 million rebuilt centre (utilising $2.5 million in insur-ance money) over the past few years.

It was operating on split sites since the February 2011 earth-quakes - at Living Springs and Governors Bay - before moving into its newly rebuilt facility at the latter site last year.

It has a new courtyard area, stat-of the art facilities and play-ground for the children.

The centre offers respite care to children whose families are struggling to take care of them - usually for a period of 3-5 days.

While it is expecting 400 chil-dren this year, Mr Murdoch said that adds up to about 1200 visits.

Unique to Christchurch, Para Rubber on Blenheim Road is “a bit of an Arkwright’s store” when it comes rubber and foam products

– they have some of everything from latex pillows for the home to anti fatigue matting for the work place.

Because they will cut to measure for you, you can choose the product you really need, not one that happens to fit. Carpet protectors in high traffic area of an office, rubber welcome mats to keep the bad weather outside, safety matting in damp areas to reduce the risk of slipping, and mats for the base of your ute or trailer are all high quality products which can be cut to match the size and shape you require. They can cut per meter or down to 100 ml. Expensive carpets and flooring can be protected using their rubber buffers for castors and chair and table feet, and their foam tape has a number of uses including weather proofing doors and windows. Now that offices have a range of electronic equipment from computers and printers to faxes and photocopiers, keeping wiring safe and secure can be a concern. Para Rubber’s channel strips and cable protectors help reduce both mess and tripping hazards. Their ultraguard rubber mats can also be used as anti-fatigue matting which helps

reduce aches and pains in the neck, back and legs caused by those who stand on cold, hard floors for their work.

Their eclectic range of products also benefits homeowners. Now we’re well into Autumn, their robust gumboots are perfect for the new season. Their choice of pillows, foam matresses, memory foam products and camping mattresses means that you’re always ready for guests. If you want to keep healthy this winter, they have standard and extra thick yoga mats, Duraband exercise bands, and lumbar rolls to help with sore backs and stiff muscles.

They really do have something in store to meet almost every foam or rubber need. You can re-fill that saggy bean bag, replace worn boot or edge trims on your car, and their knowledgeable and friendly team are on hand to explain the benefits of their products and help you choose the one that best fits your needs. And if you’re thinking ahead to next summer, they have above ground swimming pools and everything you need to play in them, maintain and repair them.

Find them at 127 Blenheim Road, Riccarton. They are open seven days a week. Ring (03) 343 9820 or visit www.pararubber.co.nz for more information or to see their extensive range of products.

TOM DOUDNEYPrincesses, pop stars, fashion queens and divas of all kinds will be together under one roof for charity in May.

Hayley Davis will display her collection of 228 Barbie dolls in an effort to raise money for her terminally ill sister.

The precious dolls are usually stashed safely away in Miss Davis’ wardrobe but on May 7, she will hold an exhibition at the Rolleston Community Centre.

Half the entry fee will help fund a new treatment for her sister, Nicole Day, who has breast cancer, bone cancer and brain tumours. The other half will go to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.

Mrs Day and her husband, Andy, have two children, aged three and five.

Doctors originally told her she could expect to live four years at best – that was more than three years ago now.

Her existing radiation and herceptin treatments were no

longer effective and the family wanted to try a new treatment, known as Tykerb, which would cost $38,000.

Although she had loved dolls as a girl, Miss Davis,

now 43, only started her Barbie collection three years ago.

“Years and years ago, I had a few [Barbie dolls] and then I had to sell them but three years ago I just decided I wanted to get back into it,” she said.

“It gets me away from all the other things that are go-ing on right now so it’s just a wee escape away that I really enjoy.”

Her oldest doll was from 1983 – Fabulous Fur Barbie, dressed in a blue jumpsuit and white fur coat.

Her most valuable doll was Pink Splendour Barbie, which cost $1000 when it came out in 1996.

Donations to benefit Mrs Day can also be made online via www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/help4nicole

Bid to buy piece of Port Hills land

Barbies on show to help sister

GOOD CAUSE: Hayley Davis, left, will display her extensive Barbie doll collection to raise funds for terminally ill sister Nicole Day, right. PHOTO: TOM DOUDNEY

EMMA-JANE MCLENNANA section of Port Hills land – around 140ha of it – may soon be bought by a trust which will gift it for public use.

A new reserve with walk-ing or cycle tracks and native plantings could be achieved if the bid to buy is success-

ful, Harry Ell Summit Road Memorial Trust treasurer Paul Louthton said.

“If we buy further land, where suitable we would like to create a similar reserve to the ones we already have.”

The trust is responsible for spaces including the 140ha

Ohinetahi Bush Reserve, which stretches across land from above Governors Bay to Allendale and is considered its flagship reserve.

While Mr Louthton said he wasn’t able to say where the land is while negotiations are ongoing, he said he was hopeful the trust would get

an answer this year: “It’s all under wraps, but we’ve got money bequeathed to us and a substantial private donation as well. I wish I could tell you more.”

The goal of the trust is to preserve the Port Hills as an asset for Christchurch, Mr Louthton said.

GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDINGFour Christchurch performers will be part in the upcoming New Zealand tour of HMS Pinafore starting next month.

NASDA graduates Chris McRae, Jane Leonard, Hannah Spedding and Ethan Keenan will be involved in the British classical comedy.

Written in the 17th-century, HMS Pinafore is a comic opera with music by English composer Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan and the book by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert.

Set on the ship HMS Pinafore, the show tells the story of the captain’s daughter Josephine and her love for a lower-class sailer Ralph Racksjaw – in spite of her father wanting her to marry First Lord of the Admiralty Sir Joseph Porter.

While the tour will be sticking to the original storyline audiences can expect a twist.

With the death of the writers more than 50 years ago, the rights are now open for

anyone to change the script.Directed by Geraldine Brophy and

produced by Ben Macdonald, the cast has just two weeks to rehearse together before hitting the road.

“It is the nature of the game,” Mr McRae said.

All four performers from the city involved in the show have similar backgrounds having performed with the city’s theatre companies including the Court Theatre.

Mr McRae said he is looking forward to working with some of New Zealand’s best musical theatre performers including George Henare, Helen Medlyn and Tizane McEvoy.

“It’s a really stellar cast and we are quite lucky to be part of it,” he said.

•HMS Pinafore will be performing at the Isaac Theatre Royal on May 1. To book tickets go to: http://premier.ticketek.co.nz

City singers for production

EMMA-JANE MCLENNANThe newly reopened Christchurch Art Gallery is set to host Canterbury Fashion Week for the first time since the February 2011 earthquakes. It’s a really positive step forward for the show, organiser Denyse Saunders - of DS Model Management - said.

“This is where I first started the shows back in 2001, and while The Tannery has been amazing in the meantime, it’s very positive to be moving back.”

Ms Saunders has been curating fashion shows with Canterbury designers, models and artists since the early 1990s. They have morphed with the times to include dancers, acrobats, singers, and entertainers - and the return to the art gallery will see more of a “theatre-style” event this year, Ms Saunders said.

“We’re looking at a real Parisian-based show, with a French singer here all the way

from Paris, lots of champagne... people will walk into the art gallery and feel like they’re in Paris.”

And it’s selling out so fast, she’s looking at staging a second show. “There are only 400 tickets and they’re really running out,” she said.

Emerging talent will be a key feature, with many new designers to look out for, Ms Saunders said.

“There are quite a lot of young, new designers - we’ll have children’s clothing in our show for the first time, a gorgeous collection of lingerie, and amazing costumes. It’s very eclectic.”

Artists and designers on show include Melanie M, Jo Kidd, Red Button Design, and BEJM, with many others, to showcase a slice of Canterbury’s fashion.

• Canterbury Fashion Week: April 26-29. Tickets and information available at cfbw.co.nz

Blood Pressure is an indicator of cardiovascular as well as overall health. Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy body as the blood plasma

transports nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste, oxygen and CO2 throughout the body.

An area in the brain keeps check on blood flow to ensure health of all cells and the organs they make up. If blood flow is reduced, the brain will try to normalise blood flow by adjusting the heart strength, frequency (pulse rate) as well as the width of blood vessels all via the nervous system. Over a period of time, the blood pressure may keep increasing due to the deterioration of blood flow. A higher blood pressure is not ideal, and is considered a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysm, organ failure and heart failure. Even moderate elevation of blood pressure is considered a major reason for shorter life expectancy.

If we can maintain our blood pressure in the normal range, our overall health will be improved. Systolic blood pressure (the upper figure) is when the heart contracts and pushes blood around the body. Ideally at rest, this should be between 100 and 120. The diastolic blood pressure (the lower figure) is the pressure in the arteries between beats and ideally at rest, this should be between 60 and 70.

It has been found in around 90 per cent of cases, high blood pressure is caused by an increase in the resistance to blood flow in the

AMAZING ISLAND MIRACLE OIL

Revered for centuries by Polynesians and Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin anti-aging and healing properties, Dilo oil

comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. The Dilo tree draws its sustenance directly from the

nutrient rich warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.

In fact, many have found it to increase fat loss by two to three times greater than normal. Television progrmame Dr Oz

has said it is the most effective and fastest working natural supplement to support weight loss.

Even without exercise and diet changes, many have found it beneficial, although even better and quicker results are often

Miracle weight loss fruitAn extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit called garcinia cambogia from India and Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight management and overall health.

obtained with extra exercise and an improved diet.

The extract of this amazing fruit is called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) or CitriMax. Research has shown HCA to help suppress the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for longer, increase energy levels, help prevent fat from being made and stored in the body, increase lean muscle mass, increase serotonin levels in the brain that

help control mood and sleep (great for emotional eaters), improve cholesterol levels that may help reduce the chances of stroke and cardiovascular disease, help prevent sugar spikes as well as other health benefits.

It is considered a very safe supplement (although check first if you are on medication) as it has been used for centuries as a flavouring agent and digestive aid.

To obtain reliable results, it is important to take a product that contains a standardised extract of 60 per cent HCA, and also take the recommended amount as used in the clinical research. Some supplements also contain ChromeMate, a well-researched form of niacin-bound chromium to help improve the results even more.

Hip family haven27 Sumnervale Drive, Sumner3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4853

This home is tastefully presented and fully modernised throughout a few years ago with real attention

to detail and no expense spared in the kitchen, living and bathroom areas. Fresh white kitchen with island breakfast bar is open plan with the living and has a hip 70s twist with its high ceilings, built-in bookcase and dining nook.

All three bedrooms are doubles with wardrobes, and the bathroom is smart with tiled floor and a separate shower and bath. There is also a full size laundry with cupboards and a double lock up garage to complete the appeal.

Fully fenced family size 549sqm section with lots of lawn both front and back for the kids and pets to run around. Plenty of room to grow your own veges and just spread out.

Situated in a quiet location away from the road noise with a lovely outlook of the surrounding hills and Captain Thomas Track. A great area for being close to the walking and mountain bike tracks and the pony paddocks at the end of the street.

A must see for young couples, families and professionals. Act fast for this one!

To arrange a private viewing or for more information contact Alison Carter of Harcourts Grenadier Ferrymead (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 384 7950 or mob 0274 318 960.

Rustic wool sheds and small town halls provide the backdrop for Mel Parsons' latest tour.

The Canterbury based songstress joins comedy act 'Sons of a Bitch' for what promises to be an unmissable

After a huge year in 2015, Silver Scroll finalist and ‘Fly My Pretties’ star Mel Parsons brings a new solo show following on from her critically acclaimed and award-winning new album ‘Drylands’.

From the makers of The Bitches’ Box comes a hilarious new show -

Country bumpkin Amelia Dunbar and city slicker Emma Newborn once again take to the stage, in an attempt to bridge the urban/rural divide the only way they know how…by playing dogs.

Canterbury shows are Windwhistle tomorrow night and April 16th; Springfield April 17th; Akaroa April 28th; and Springfield 29th April. Tickets @ Eventfinda. More information available at farmstrong.co.nz.
