After months of traffic congestion, there is relief on the way for Ferry Rd commuters and also for businesses that have struggled due to roadworks.
The worksite outside Te Waka Una School on the corner of Hopkins St and Ferry Rd is expected to finish at the end of this week.
There are about five sets of
roadworks down Ferry Rd, most of which will be finished this month according to the Stronger Christchurch Infrstructure Rebuild Team.
Madam Butterfly’s owner Melanie Cavaye, who has a store on the corner of Ferry Rd and Smith St and is surrounded by a worksites, said she has taken a hit financially and healthwise due to the roadworks.
She is doubtful SCIRT will
complete its work on time.“We’ve heard it all before. The
deadline date comes and goes and I have to call to find out what’s going on,” she said.
The continual roadworks and uncertainty about when she will see less orange cones surrounding her business has left Ms Cavaye stressed.
“The noise had been horrendous. My health has had a real impact,” said Ms Cavaye.
A SCIRT spokeswoman said while the new wastewater main and laterals along Smith St was supposed to be finished last year, the completion date has been pushed out to early this year because of the extensive damage found within the pipes.
“My customers have been understanding but I’ve barely survived,” said Ms Cavaye.
Other businesses in the area have taken bit hits financially,
with parking being one of the biggest issues. They did not want to be named.
Pipes being laid outside 430-438 Ferry Rd should be completed by early March, said a SCIRT spokeswoman.
Delays will be continued between Aldwins Rd and Tillford St until mid March and repairs between Manning Pl and Heart St won’t be completed until the end of March.

SMOKE FROM HOUSEA pot left unattended on a stove sparked a call-out on Ferry Rd on Wednesday. A fire appliance went to the Ferry Rd address at about 5.30pm after a person smelt smoke from the house next door. There was no damage reported.
CAR HITS CYCLISTA cyclist was hit by car at 7.47am Thursday morning in Woolston at the intersection of Garlands Rd and Connal St. An ambulance was called and the cyclist, in his 30s, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
CARS COLLIDETwo cars collided at the intersection of Selwyn and Ward Sts in Addington about 4pm on Thursday. An ambulance and rapid response team were at the scene and one woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
PARKING RESTRICTIONA decision will be made by the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board on whether or not parking restrictions should be put in place along the west side of York Tong Place this week. Residents believe the road is too narrow for parking and to drive down safely.

Lincoln Rd’s boardwalk maintenance has been criticised, with those who are disabled saying it is difficult to use.
Instead, they are forced to use the nearby cycle lane or detour around the block.
Located outside Addington Rest Home near the corner of Whiteleigh Ave, the boardwalk has broken concrete and dam-aged rails and is so steep, those in wheelchairs struggled to use it.
Marie Zittersteijn who was born with cerebral palsy, is frus-trated with the state of disrepair of the boardwalk.
She does not like using it and sometimes opts to use the cycleway, which is illegal, or go around the block, by which time her wheelchair battery dies.
Pleas to fix the boardwalk have previously fallen on deaf
ears, said Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board deputy chairwoman Karolin Potter.
But now the city council said it will have the problem fixed within a month.
Ms Potter received several complaints about the stretch of street and forwarded them to the city council, but nothing had yet been done.
“It’s getting ridiculous, so we
moved to put the repairs through as urgent,” she said.
“It’s not safe for disabled people or the elderly trying to cross Lincoln Rd is not an op-tion,” she said.

Addington engineering student Robbie McGregor remembers what it is like coming out of high school and not knowing how to deal with the real world.
He said he has watched his friends struggle with learning how to deal with finances and making decisions on their future.
Now the 29-year-old is starting up a business, called Clarity, to help people.
It aims to help young people figure things out in their life, focusing on three key aspects of communication, per-sonal development and financial skills.
He took part in the Live the Dream, business training
course aimed at young people, to help him get started.
Clarity will be set up in stages, starting with the financial side first.
“It’s the most tangible to tackle,” he said.
Mr McGregor said his venture is gathering speed.
“It’s still in the set up stages but people are supporting the idea, I would like to see it go throughout New
Zealand,” Mr McGregor said.The focus is on helping students to begin with but Mr McGregor wants to be able to offer the skills and support to Kiwis of all walks of life.

Whitebait in the Heathcote and Avon rivers now not only have cosy new habitats but will also have more people understanding their “at risk” status thanks to funding boost.
EOS Ecology, Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu and Canterbury University have received $16,600 of funding from Envi-ronment Canterbury and the city council for the whaka inaka project.
The money was granted by the Christ-church West Melton Water Management Committee on Thursday night and it is going to be spent on community aware-ness.
The Southern View has previously
reported that EOS Ecology Whaka Inaka project was providing “Hotel Hilton” accommodation with 192 hay bales put in the Heathcote for whitebait spawning and temporary habitats.
The project is focused on bringing whitebait levels back up in Chistchurch streams since they have been declining.
Whaka inaka are deemed an ‘at risk’ species and the groups involved are working on restoring spawning areas and habitats along the Heathcote River and Lake Kate Sheppard to bring numbers back up.
The funding will go towards public awareness, getting the community in-volved and engaged in their local rivers and streams.

“Tilly” a 5 year old, Lhaso Apso mix presented to me one weekend for vomiting, restlessness, not eating, drinking lots and just appearing flat. Nothing specific could be identified, apart from her being over weight and having a fever. She lives with a wonderful elderly lady who showers Tilly with love and food – mostly she lives on our diet, with occasional dog roll. She did have a tense abdomen and we noticed on getting a urine sample she passed many small streams. My thoughts initially were either a gastric complaint or urinary tract infection. Her urine was dilute ( she was drinking copiously) and there was a lot of blood present. I discharged Tilly on antibiotics and tramal pain relief and had her return in 3 days for another check up and urine test.
The next time I saw Tilly she appeared more painful to the touch, grunting on abdominal palpation. She was eating better and hadn’t been sick but she didn’t look well to me. Her urine was still bloody and dilute so I recommended we radiograph her abdomen. I also ran blood tests to check all her organs (especially liver and kidney) were functioning normally.
Once the radiograph was done it was very easy to diagnose Tilly’s problem of pain, blood in the urine, listlessness and drinking copiously. As you can see, the bladder stone present was humungous. It’s hard to imagine any animal coping pretty well with the daily rituals of life having this huge thing rocking around inside you. On the radiograph you can also see how thickened the bladder wall has become supporting this huge mass. Very easy to now understand why we have blood in the urine and why she passes small urinations often. Basically her bladder can’t hold much urine as its “full up”.
Small bladder stones ( uroliths) can be medically managed and dissolved effectively with prescription diets once the composition of the stone is known. This stone requires urgent surgical removal which Tilly’s owners were in full agreeance with. I came in to operate on my day off as I didn’t want Tilly to suffer with this stone any longer. She is so stoic and really her owners haven’t noticed changes with her until recently.
The surgery went superbly. She was an absolute star under the anaesthetic and on recovery. Her pain was managed through medications placed into her intravenous fluids and antibiotics were a must. She was discharged later that night.
My suspicion is that the stone is comprised of “Calcium Oxalate”, due to its size, hardness, opacity and the fact these stones are over represented in Lhaso Apso’s. We have sent the stone off to the Hills Science Diet analysis centre in Missouri, USA to determine what it is. This information is essential in managing Tilly’s
diet accordingly in the long term so this doesn’t happen again.
I love these surgeries in particular as I know I can make a huge difference to Tilly’s quality and quantity of life. They can’t thank you verbally but they definitely do in many other
ways. Animals know we help them. I feel priviledged so often to be there to help and heal them.

Gordon Rudd, 79, is so determined to see Cashmere Stream’s water quality return, that he collects water samples to analyse and monitor its health – and has done so for the past five years.
A member of the Cashmere Stream Care Group, Mr Rudd’s samples are logged not only for the group but for Environment Canterbury too.
“The stream’s water quality is poor, there’s a lot of silt in the water, but people are starting to take notice of that,” Mr Rudd said.
Most of the city’s urban rivers are in poor health, with dog and waterfowl faeces, metals from cars and buildings being washed into storm water system and in turn into the waterways.
Over the last five years Mr Rudd has collected more than
1860 samples since December 2010 of the Cashmere Stream that runs through the back of his property.
The samples give a reading on the level of aquatic life, water quality and the amount of weed in the water.
Mr Rudd said things are looking up for the stream, there is less rubbish but a return to good water quality is a “slow process”.
Land developers are also get-ting the message about clean-ing up the waterways and have
started putting in catchments to reduce silt getting into the rivers.
Attitudes are changing in the community too.
“Rivers bring communities together, more people care so more people get involved and want to see changes,” Mr Rudd said.
ECan and the city council are working alongside the Cashmere Stream group to improve the health of the streams and rivers by funding projects and having scientists on hand to monitor Mr Rudd’s findings.
Mr Rudd is delighted to see the city council providing scien-tists to talk them through what his water samples mean.
“We see what’s going on and the scientists explain what the result means and we work together on finding the cause,” he said.
MONITORING: Gordon Rudd notes down his readings every day. Below: The water is tested for clarity among other things. PHOTOS: R SMITH

Focused on returning water quality for Cashmere Stream Opawa’s Newbery Lodge, an
historic popular wedding and function venue, is up for sale.
The lodge was built in the 1930s and was significantly refurbished in 2011.
The homestead, on 15 New-bery St, is for sale, with a lease in place for Continental a cater-ing company.
It’s for sale by deadline pri-vate treaty closing March 3.
The homestead is set on 4249 sq m of established landscaped grounds.
It replaced an original house built on the current site in the early 1850s by a Dr John Shering Willis from the United Kingdom and his wife, Agnes Louise. Along with 10 acres of land, the house was subsequent-ly gifted to one of their three daughters, who married Alfred Newbery.
The house either burnt down or fell into disrepair, before being purchased by the Ste-vens family in the 1920s who replaced the old house with the
homestead that is on site now.At that time it was called
Clumber, but in the 1970s it was renamed Newbery Lodge by one of the subsequent owners.
Courtney Doig of Colliers International said: “This is an unusual opportunity to buy a lovely old building which provides a business opportunity by continuing to run it as a successful events centre or alternatively, to convert it into a beautiful private residence. It’s a significant land holding zoned Living 1, which principally provides for low-density permanent living accommodation.”
Vining says Newbery Lodge has three reception/dining/meet-ing rooms of various sizes.
“Nestled in leafy surroundings near the Heathcote River, it’s just 4km to the heart of our newly forming CBD. The various function rooms can cater to up to 110 people dining and it has excellent off street car parking.”
FOR SALE: Newbery Lodge was built in the 1930s and is set among established landscaped gardens.

Hi Amanda, thanks for talking to me. Tell me a bit about yourself.
I found that in my own life photography has helped me deal with and properly handle bullying and mental health issues. I completed a diploma of contemporary photography in 2013, and I wanted to share my passion and help teach young people that if they don’t click with sports or music, there are other opportunities out there. I also wanted to provide a programme for youth that explores positive belief in self-worth.
This your first business?I have my own kind of
self-employed business called ‘Photos by Amanda’, which I’m now starting to get up and
running again. Once I start turning a profit in that I’ll start putting about 20 per cent into the content for Triple R Youth. Research has proved that for a positive change in a kid’s mind, they need ongoing help and support. So for this venture I plan to have a 10-week programme and ongoing support after that.
So how did you go about setting the venture up?
My first step was to contact the Ministry of Education, but that proved a road block, as there was no research backing up what I was saying, no proof that it will be successful. Even if it’s a school holiday programme for a year I would have to prove it has been successful. It’s all about gaining credibility.
And do you have an idea in mind of how that will be run?
My first mini workshop will be held at the White Elephant Trust on March 12. It’ll be held at 442 Tuam St. It’s a free workshop for the participants to help me build the content. The plan is to do it through the next six months, and to have youth input throughout. So far I have five people attending, but I’d always like to see more. There will be a photography activ-ity, a place to hang out, listen to music, and have a pizza lunch. There will be a few activities about getting to know each other as well.
That sounds great! Is that all ready to go now?
I’ll need help in facili-tating the workshop and the resources that I need that I don’t have the funds for. I guess I’m looking for a funding partner that has the same ideas about youth as me.
Has this idea
come from personal experi-ences?
I was bullied in high school, from age 13 onwards, and I actually left due to being bullied. I didn’t really get into
sports or music, but I really enjoyed taking photos. That makes me feel like there is a huge gap for a workshop like this. I’ve put in some of my own money towards this venture because I believe in it.
Did others at the Live the Dream business accelerator feel the same?
My target age group is a bit younger than the others at Live the Dream. I’m aiming to help 12 to 15-year-olds, which is an age that is generally accepted to be before they have formed their own opinions about themselves.
Would you ever publish works of your own?
Yes, I would probably consid-er doing a book of my photos.
I specialise in portrait art, which is anything like wed-
dings, maternity, fami-lies, graduations – all
sorts. My Face-book page,
showcases some of the work I’ve done.
Amanda Maxwell, 26, is the creator of Triple R Youth, a programme that helps build confidence in teenagers. She talked to Fraser Walker-Pearce about her own struggle with bullying, why photography is the best medicine, and living with fibromyalgia and the pain associated with it

youths find confidence Two of my photography ses-
sions were exhibited in 2014. The first one was called self worth, and the second domes-tic violence. They were both exhibited in a group photography session in Matchbox Studios in Wellington, which is one of the main ones in Wellington.
And did they go down quite well with the audience? Receive any feedback?
I had a lot of feedback about how raw the exhibit was and how it made people think about my works. One person asked if I would sell my work, but those two particular series had me in them, so I didn’t want to sell them off if they were just going to be hung up on a wall. If it was going towards a women’s refuge centre or something then possibly.
Has your partner helped you along the way?
I’ve had a bit of trouble in past relationships and he came in at the right time, right place. He deals really well with my condition, which is called fibromyalgia. It’s a condition that makes you feel like you have the flu 24/7, in constant pain. I was diagnosed in March
last year. It’s not curable, it’s in the same group as arthritis. So that has made my life hell for a while, but it’s about learning to manage that. He’ll help me out of bed if I’m sore or give me a massage and things like that, which is great.
Man that’s pretty horrible. Sorry to hear about that.
I just figure there’s always someone worse off. I’ve been struggling since I was 18, but wasn’t diagnosed until last year. At the time I was diagnosed, my friend and I were about to travel to the United States for nine weeks. The trip was already planned, but it was hard going through what type of medication would work and what wouldn’t while overseas.
Yeah, I can imagine. So have you done a lot of travel then?
Ah, I’ve been to Brisbane, where I’ve got heaps of family. I’ve also been to the US, Canada, and Hawaii.
If you had to pick one place to live, where would it be?
I’d still have to say New Zealand because of my condition – I can get help here. But if I lived in a dream it’d be Canada.

PLAY CENTRE LEASEToday the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board will make the decision on whether or not a new lease will be granted to The Canterbury Play Centre Association currently located on Lyttelton St. The Canterbury Play Centre Association has held the lease for 21 years and has the right to reapply for another 21.
BUS SHELTER DECISIONThe outcome on a potential bus shelter being placed on 16 Athelstan St, Barrington, will be decided in the next 10 days. Last week Southern View reported that Barrington Eye Care owner Rochelle van Eysden was concerned her business may suffer due to the obstruction of the bus shelter and requested it to be moved or the city council pay for her signage to move. The decision will be made by city councillors Raf Manji, David East and Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board deputy chairwoman Islay McLeod.
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SOON TO BE BACKA horse-shaped piece of playground equipment from Charleston Reserve in Woolston was taken for repairs several months ago and has not been returned. The city council said the horse will be back in the playground in the next two months.

Christchurch Youth Council treasurer Sofie Hampton says the Government’s mental health budget cuts in Canterbury are going to have a big impact on young people. Have you or someone you know experienced difficulty getting help post-earthquake? Send your thoughts to [email protected]
Just before the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake (and just days after the Valentine’s Day aftershock), the Canterbury District Health Board has announced it will be losing thousands of dollars towards its mental health services.
That has made thousands of people speak out – staff who are overworked and underpaid, young people who are terrified about what might happen and parents who are scared for their children.
Our region has one of the highest suicide rates in New Zealand, and suicide-related calls to the police have doubled since 2011. With huge percentages of our nation’s medication prescriptions coming from Christchurch
(17 per cent of New Zealand’s anti-depressants, 13 per cent of New Zealand’s sedatives and 16 per cent of New Zealand’s anti-psychotics), it’s really a no brainer that Canterbury needs desperate help in restoring its services and supporting people.
It’s been proven that five years on from a major disaster people still need mental health services more than a city that wasn’t affected.
Our young people are struggling, and these support services cannot cope with the number of patients needing to be seen.
Young people are dying because all they desperately want is someone who understands them and has time for
them. Emergency waiting lists are at least three weeks long, and waiting to be seen in the emergency department will take you about six hours.
How does this impact our young people? Do they feel like anyone cares? Do they feel like they will get through
this? I’m honestly terrified of what will happen to services which already desperately need more help.
Instead of doing the logical thing, the Government is deciding to give up on us.
I hope this is reviewed and that young people are given the best chance at life here in Christchurch.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICERIt has been quite a busy week in Christchurch but without too many notable incidents.
The warm weather certainly makes any vegetation fire more likely to burn and more likely to spread but, thankfully, such calls have been rare.
What is evident is that there are those in the city who completely ignore the fire ban and who light rubbish, skips and couches in a single-fingered salute to authorities.
There were also four instances of kitchen fires in houses. On three of these occasions the occupants had left the house with a pot still on the stove. The advice is obvious.
A worker in Highsted Rd suffered an unusual entrapment last Friday when
she reached into the road sign cavity on the back of the work truck and her arm became stuck.
St Albans fire crew called in their col-leagues on the rescue tender from city station who utilised the hydraulic spread-ers to open the steel sided cavity enough to free her. Injuries are unknown.
The staff member at the airport who was heating up a roast in a microwave last Tuesday evening probably ended up acutely embarrassed when overheating caused a smoke alarm to activate.
This in turn caused fire trucks from the airport crash team, Harewood, Sockburn and St Albans to respond. So the system worked.
It’s just that like the kitchen fires report-ed above, by staying with the cooking, a big inconvenience for everyone might have been avoided.

Readers respond to plans to change the route of the new Rapanui - Shag Rock Cycleway to avoid a loss of parking:
Denise Casey – I am very pleased to be able to have a say on the Christchurch cycleways.
People in authority go to great lengths to help cyclists with riding safely on the roads and from my experience as a pedestrian they are a total waste of time and money.
Cyclists (even with cycleways) insist on riding on the pavement often at high speed terrifying the poor old pedestrian, and God help us if the pedestrian should ask the cyclist to ride on the road only to get a mouthful of abuse.
On Friday last, I was called a name for asking a cyclist to ride on the road. Why do our boys in blue not enforce the law and tell these people to get on the road where they belong. Thank you for this opportunity,
Michael J Brathwaite, Spreydon – Regarding the cycleway linking the central city to Linwood.
I have no problem with the route, but I am against narrowing streets and replacing the deep-dish gutters with modern ones. The problem with narrowing streets is that events like the earthquakes can cause problems when parts of the population shift.
For example, on some Addington streets that have been narrowed, such as Poulson St, workers’ cars are now parked on both sides with the result that there is not enough room for cars travelling in opposite directions to pass each other.
The problem with replacing deep-dish gutters is that the new type cannot cope with the water when it rains. I live on a corner section, and one of the streets has a modern gutter, while the other has a deep-dish one. Every time it rains, the former floods while the latter does not.
When I spoke to a council employee about it, he told me they would rather the water was on the street than in the stormwater system.
Southern View asked readers what they thought of freedom campers in Addington Park.
Ann-Cherie Manawatu-Pearcy – I think it is absolutely disgusting the city council has allowed this to happen in our local park. Our council rates continue to rise and now we have to pay for these freedom campers to take over our park for what benefit to us?
Where do they go to the toilet at night, near our kids playground and under trees? It is appalling.
Tell me what other city in NZ or even the world that would allow overseas visitors to camp free of charge in their beautiful parks which are supposed to be recreation areas not camp sites.
I didn’t see or hear of the city council saying to every person in Christchurch that we could all go and camp in our local parks after the earthquakes.
If disabled people wanted to use that car park to visit the park they couldn’t because it is filled with freedom campers.
I have travelled overseas and would never consider abusing another county/city like ours is.
It seems New Zealand is becoming a freeloading country for overseas backpackers to take advantage of residents who do not have any say about it.
What can we do about it? We are helpless and get charged for the city council’s thoughtless decisions.
Gary Knight, Hoon Hay – While 1-9 denotes the significance of the decile rating of any academic institute, other factors are relevant in consideration of this controversial topic.
The increase in funding to compensate for a loss in social status for a decreed low decile school as opposed to decreased funding for those classified as high decile, bears testimony to a major rift in our education status. Extra resources noted as essential for schools from poorer communities and having diminished ability to raise local funding in comparison to those denoted as affluent are ill conceived sentiments based on speculative views as opposed to factual evidence.
The parochial views also in recent times by Education minister Hekia Parata stating extreme student performance with any school as the tool by which extra funding is allocated for it is rife with anomalies and also demeaning to those adversely affected by lack of funding sources.
The changes by the law commission implementing a statutory register for private schools to prove financial, safety and academic viability to inspire student and teacher confidence, floated in 2009 is surely a hallmark that could be infiltrated into state schools.
This concept while being contrary to decile rating status would ensure that fundamental educational technique and protocol alter, align and flourish for 21st century academic expectations.

GENEROUS: St Anne’s Catholic School benefitted from the generosity of Sumner’s Our Lady Star of the Sea School pupils who organised a book drive. Our Lady Star of the Sea pupils managed to collect more than 200 books and Connor McSoriley (left), Flynn Greig and Liam McSoriley presented them to St Anne’s principal Dallas Wichman last week.
WELL DONE: The Kip McGrath Barrington star of the month for February is Yang Zhang. Kip McGrath staff said his motivation and focus is wonderful and his sense of humour always keeps his tutors on their toes. In particular his attention to detail is a key strength that his tutors think will serve him well in his future.

7 unlikely foods that sabotage fat loss
SALADDAYS: Next timeyou reach for a sandwich, think about all thecarbohydrates it’s going to load youdownwith andopt for vegetables forlunch instead.
Manyof the foodsthat people thinkwill help them loseweight are actuallypacking it on,says dieticianBeccaHurt
INSTEADOFSPAGHETTIANDMEATBALLS, ITSHOULDBEMEATBALLS
WITHSOMESPAGHETTIONTHESIDE.
The basic idea behind fat lossis simple. Eat better, exercisemore. However, hidden in thisformula are numerous caveatsand footnotes. Nowonder thereare somany books about theways people are supposed toexercise and eat right.Hurt, programmemanager of
Life TimeWeight Loss at LifeTime—TheHealthyWay of LifeCompany, says there areenemies lurking in commonfoods that almost everyone eatsor drinks. So, what’s to be done?To help identify some of the
most commonweight lossenemies, Hurt has provided a listof seven culprits everyonewillwant to weed out of their diet.
Coffee shop drinksHurt says that liquid calories
aremore often one of the biggest
downfalls when it comes tolosing weight. Formany, it startswith their morning coffee.Whilecoffee with only cream added isno harm, the danger is in thesugar-loaded, caramel chocolate
dieting disastersmany peoplebelieve to be healthy becausethey ordered the non-fat option.“Not only do these drinks
lead to a sugar rollercoaster andenergy crash, theymay beloadedwith asmany as 500-pluscalories,” says Hurt.
Skim milk“Only recently, Americans
started to realise fat isn’t always
the bad guy,” explains Hurt.“There is no difference in fat lossbetween diets with no-fat andfull-fat dairy consumption,according to recent studies.”In fact, Hurt notes that people
often add sugar to enhance thetaste of their skimmilk, whichquickly turns it into a decidedlyunhealthy option.
PastaYes, evenwholegrain pasta is
stripped of beneficial nutrients,bleached and loadedwithpreservatives tomake it moreshelf-stable. Pasta portions canalso be confusing.“A pastameal should begin
with a big salad, and the highproteinmeatballs should belarger than the portion of pasta,”says Hurt.“Instead of spaghetti and
meatballs, it should bemeatballswith some spaghetti on theside.”
Reduced fat snacksFormany, reduced fat, no fat
and low fat labels on foods canbe a green light to what theybelieve is guilt-free snacking.The principle to remember is notall calories are the same.“A 100-calorie pudding is not
as healthy as 100 calories worthof almonds,” explains Hurt.“Food that is naturally
healthy doesn’t need a non-fatlabel.”A handful of nuts, a few slices
of full-fat cheese or someGreek
yogurt aremuch healthieroptions by far.
Energy drinksFor those looking to shed
some fat, drinking one of thesesugar-loaded bad boysmeansputting the brakes on theirbody’s fat burning process. Hurtadds that people should get nomore than 5 per cent of theirdaily calorie allowance fromsugar and just one energy drinkwill put someonewell over thislimit.
SandwichesWhilemany think ordering a
sandwich is a diet-friendlyalternative to a burger, considerthis: one sandwich has asmanycarbohydrates as a chocolatebar!“Carbs are not a sustainable
source of energy and areresponsible for that sluggish,hungry feeling that leadsmanyto skip workouts and snackmore,” says Hurt.Ditch the bread for a salad!
Protein barsTheymight bemarketed as
the fat-burning, muscle-gainingsnack, but don’t be fooled.Heavily processed protein barsare loadedwith sugars andcarbohydrates.To get the necessary protein,
Hurt suggests looking to nuts oranimal sources such asmeats oryogurt instead.

Too many Kiwis are too big for their healthBy Rachel Grunwell
■ RachelGrunwell is ourweeklywellbeingcolumnist.She’s thedirectorof inspiredhealth.co.nz/. Followheron facebook.com/InspiredHealthNZand Instagram:@inspiredhealthandfitness
Weight is a “growing”problem for Kiwis,according to the annualCigna 360°WellbeingScore findings.This survey
monitors overall well-being across 11countries and includesmore than 15,000participants. It assesses apopulation’s health andwellbeing across these areas:physical, family, social, financialandwork.
Among the findingswas relationships withchildrenwere rated themost important.However, when it cameto our physicalwellbeing, more than 60per cent of respondentswere overweight orobese— the highestnumber out of allcountries surveyed.
Of those surveyed, only 33per cent of Kiwis ate a balanceddiet.Also, the perception that 45
per cent of us are overweight
was out of sync with the reality.Official figures put that close to65 per cent.Cigna NZ CEO LanceWalker
said there aremisconceptionsaround obesity, and the numberof us who aren’t eating abalanced diet.“If Kiwis want to keep on
spending timewith theirfamilies and enjoying a greatquality of life, we need to spendmore time thinking about ourphysical health,” he said.In response to these findings,
here are some tips to get you andyour kids into fitness:
1. Be a role-model for your kids.If youmovemore, they likelywill too. Practice what youpreach!2. Make exercise part of everyday.Walk to school, or aroundyour neighbourhood to visitfriends. Swim or throw a frisbee.I love doing yogawithmytoddler Finn at home or in a localpark.3. Make fitness fun. Kick arounda ball at home, or play cricket.

Cheers to not poisoning you, my friendIFYOU’RE reading thisnewspaper while sitting athome or at the cafe or thehairdressers . . . or possibly
on a plane or a bus or at yourcomputer, then you’re possiblyfeeling that it’s all very wellbeing kept up to date with thecurrent affairs of the world, butpossibly you find yourselfagonising that yourmentalquotient of not-so-usefulinformation is diminishing todangerously low levels.
Well, fret not, because wine ishere to help and I don’t mean in adrown-your-sorrows kind ofway. I’m talking about being thefoundation of all sorts of fun
facts that’ll see you sail like astar through the chitchat at yournext dinner party. Here are justa couple to get you started.Ever since the English began
bottling wine in the 1700s,consumers havewrestled withthe task of extracting the corks.The earliest reference to acorkscrewwas a crudeinstrument called a ‘steel worm’that was a variation on the ‘gunworm’ tools manufactured bygunsmiths for cleaningmusket
barrels. Over the next 300 yearsinventors would file hundreds ofpatents, relentlessly improvingupon cork extraction.TheMesopotamians were
credited with producing the veryfirst wines back in 6000BC.There are over 10,000 wine grapevarieties globally. It takesapproximately 177 grapes tomake a bottle of wine.A standard oak barrel has 300
750ml bottles of wine.More wine is drunk per
person in the Vatican City thanin any other country in theworld. Saying “Cheers” andclinking glasses apparentlyoriginated back in theMiddleAges when poisoning was apopular way of offing yourenemies. Drinkers would firstpour a bit of wine into eachother’s glass, meaning if poisonwas in one, it was now in both.The clinking sound of theglasses was also believed toward off evil spirits.

Q A&Can I reduce the amount ofsugar in jam without affectingits keeping qualities?Read on. Preserves need tobe at least two-thirds sugarbyweight to keepwithoutan airtight seal, ie withcellophane cover, and less
sugar also interferes withthe setting process. But ifyou use preserving-typeseals on the jam and don’texpect a good set, then thesugar can often be cut inhalf. Sterilise jars and lidsin the usual manner, andonce opened, refrigerateyour jam and use within amonth.
How should I dispose of usedcooking oil?Commercial oil recyclersare not usually interested indomestic quantities, somodest amounts are bestcooled, poured into a sturdyplastic container with ascrew-top lid then put outwith the household rubbish.Never pour oil or fat down
the sink, this can cause bothplumbing andenvironmental problems.Wipe greasy plates andpans with kitchen paperbefore washing them. Notethat oil used for deep-fryingcan normally be re-usedseveral times if foodparticles have beenstrained off.

Strengthen your Spine, avoid back pain
Whether it’s from gardening, lifting something heavy, or twisting awkwardly, most of us will experience low back
pain during our lifetime and it can certainly slow us down.
An exciting and effective way of resolving and preventing low back or neck pain is Dynamic Spines, a programme run by Muscle People in Christchurch City and Bishopdale. As physiotherapist and director of Muscle People, Laurie Moore, explains: “Spinal strength and stability is the focus of the programme, concentrating on the deep core muscles in the trunk.”
The programme is designed to move you beyond pain to a place where you feel confident about taking part in dynamic activities, and significantly reduce recurrence of back pain, she says.
Led by physiotherapists, the weekly exercise programme is conducted for small groups, with core stability and spinal muscle control being addressed. Participants experience clear progression each week, which will cross over to their everyday life.
“More than 80 per cent of New Zealanders suffer from a significant episode of low back pain during their life,” Laurie says. “Of these, 84 per cent are likely to have a recurrence of back pain within a year. Research shows
that those that undergo a specific spinal strengthening programme are almost three times better off.”
The benefits of completing the Dynamic Spines programme:
A Muscle People client who has completed the Dynamic Spines programmes, Julie, says: “The course has been life-changing. I suffered from severe neck pain and was fearful of any movement. This programme has strengthened up my neck muscles, making me feel confident and like a new woman.”
Another participant, Tor, says: After partaking in the Dynamic Spines group exercise programme I definitely feel stronger all over – thigh muscles, arms, general increased stamina. This has helped with my gardening work, with less lower back niggles.”
Before you join the Dynamic Spines programme, a physiotherapist will assess your individual needs. The programme is then split into two levels. Laurie explains:
“The first level is all about learning to locate and then strengthen the appropriate muscles. The physiotherapists will help each person to achieve this based on their individual diagnosis and ability.
“The second level focuses on turning those learned skills into habitual movements and improving strength. Home exercises are also an integral part of the programme.
The Dynamic Spines programme is designed for men and women of all ages and fitness levels, who have back or neck pain, or with core or postural weakness.
For more information phone Muscle People at their city clinic (03) 961 0236 or in Bishopdale on (03) 360 3606, or visit musclepeople.co.nz.

You shouldn’t miss this - nor would I 83 Norwood St, BeckenhamAuction: February 18, 20164 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: BE192516
An opportunity to buy a unique property in Norwood St. Designed with flair and to fit with the Beckenham community, this is a
brand-new home just waiting for a new family to move in.
Finished to a high standard with a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area leading on to a sunny patio for the family and friends’ barbecues this summer. Upstairs there are four roomy bedrooms, the master having a well-appointed en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The main bathroom is spacious, designed with family in mind. All bedrooms enjoy sun and views across the city. A good-sized double garage will safely store your cars for you, and there is room for off-street parking as well.
Ideally located close to the Beckenham shops, walking distance to local primary schools and the bus routes, you may indeed not need to take your car out of the garage at all! The Port Hills with the abundance of walking and cycling tracks is only a short distance away, and the Beckenham Library just around the corner. Don’t hesitate, don’t delay brand-new homes in the Beckenham Loop are rare indeed.
Open Homes: Saturday and Sunday, 2.45pm to 3.30pm. To arrange a private viewing of this property call, Debbie Pettigrew from Harcourts Grenadier Beckenham (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) now on 337 1316 or 027 777 0411.
