Risingholme repair work 

to begin this month 

WORK WILL begin this month 

on rebuilding the historic 

Risingholme homestead in 

Opawa. 

The 153-year-old building 

which was home to a community 

centre in Cholmondeley Ave 

was damaged in the September 

4, 2010, and February 22, 2011, 

earthquakes forcing it to be 

closed. 

Risingholme then sustained 

further damage 

in an 

arson attack 

in June, 2016. 

The fire 

came a year 

after the 

community 

centre staff 

Richie Moyle 

told the 

Southern 

View they 

were concerned the building was 

a “sitting duck” for vandals and 

feared it would be burnt to the 

ground. 

When the arson attack happened, 

the city council was 

preparing to seek tenders for the 

building’s repair. 

The fire ripped through 

the roof and top storey of 

the heritage-listed building 

and caused so much damage 

part of the upstairs had to be 

deconstructed.

The building was wrapped to 

protect it and prevent further 

damage from occurring while 

engineers and heritage experts 

worked to develop a plan for 

restoring it. 

“Right from the start the goal 

has been to get Risingholme 

back to the way it was but we’ve 

had to work through a number 

of issues, including the fire, and 

obtain building and resource 

consents before work on site 

could begin,’’ city council heritage 

rebuild programme manager 

Richie Moyle said. 

“Those consents have all now 

been obtained and the contractors, 

Cook Brothers, are ready to begin 

work later this month. They’re going 

to be rebuilding the top storey 

and strengthening and repairing 

the remainder of the building to 

bring it up to 67 per cent of the 

New Building Standard.” 

Mr Moyle said as much of the 

heritage fabric of the original 

building as possible would be 

reinstated. 

“The project is probably going 

to take most of the year to 

complete but when it is done 

Risingholme will be back to its 

former glory.’’ 

The Risingholme Hall and Craft 

Workshops, which date back to 

the 1940s and 1950s are also going 

to be refurbished and strengthened. 

Work on those buildings is 

expected to begin in February and 

take about nine months. 

The Risingholme Community 

Centre was originally built in 

1864 as a private residence by 

William and Mary Reeves, the 

parents of noted politician William 

Pember Reeves. 

After the death of Mr Reeves 

in 1891 the house had several 

private owners until 1943 when it 

was bought by philanthropist Sir 

John McKenzie, who gifted it to 

the city council for the “health, 

amusement and instruction of 

the public.’’

Too much rubbish for playground bin 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

• By Julia Evans 

PEOPLE ARE flocking from 

across the city to check out 

New Brighton’s new $8 million 

beachside playground. 

But the popularity of the playground 

is more than its rubbish 

bin can handle. 

On Facebook, New Brighton 

residents have called on the city 

council to increase the amount of 

bins or times it is emptied at the 

Marine Pde playground. 

Residents say more often than 

not the playground bin and 

others in the area are full and 

overflowing. 

There is one bin next to the 

new playground’s toilet block, 

a ‘Bigbelly’ smart bin which 

sends city council staff a message 

when it is full and needs emptying. 

There are other bins along 

the beach and by the old New 

Brighton playground. 

When Southern View went 

down to the park on Thursday, 

the city council had just cleared 

the bins. 

Janine Watson took her 

children and a picnic to 

spend the afternoon at the 

playground. 

She thought the number of bins 

was enough for the area, but said 

FULL: New Brighton residents are calling for more bins, more frequent emptying times, or for 

people to take their rubbish home with them at the beachside playground. 

the people using them should be 

more considerate. 

Mrs Watson said it was a 

shame the bins were left in a 

“disgusting” state. 

However, she said it should 

“not (be) the city council’s job” to 

increase the amount at the park. 

“The city council spent enough 

money on this great playground, 

they don’t need to spend more on 

extra bins.” 

‘If you’re going to bring a 

lot of rubbish with you, you 

should just take it home as 

well’ – Janine Watson 

Mrs Watson said she had no 

intention of leaving her rubbish 

there. 

Her message to others using 

the playground: “Take your 

rubbish home with you. If you’re 

going to bring a lot of rubbish 

with you, you should just take it 

home as well.” 

Mrs Watson said even if 

there were more bins, they would 

end up full and overflowing as 

well. 

“If anything, it would be nice 

to have a bin for recycling. But 

people would just end up putting 

rubbish in there too.” 

People would likely end up 

putting their household rubbish 

in the bins if they were collected 

too often, she said. 

Janna Lee, said it was a shame 

people were dumping their 

rubbish. 

Development Christchurch 

chief executive Rob Hall said 

the playground has been very 

popular since it opened. 

“In April/May, more play 

equipment will be added and 

we’ll have the opportunity to 

see how people are using the 

playground and respond,” Mr 

Hall said. 

“The use of rubbish bins on-site 

and around the playground is 

being monitored, with plans to 

bring in more bins if these are 

required.” 

He said based on the usage 

since the playground opened 

before Christmas, it is likely that 

another bin will be required.

Fun run to support cancer kids 

UPBEAT: Star Media events manager Vanessa Fleming and 

Jonty out for a run. 

When you run, walk, 

jog, rollerblade, or 

push your friends on a 

bed at the Star Media 

City2Surf in March you’ll 

be helping 10-yearold 

Jonty Gray and 

other children like him. 

Andrew King reports 

IN MARCH last year, Juliet and 

Hamish Gray got some of the 

worst news a parent could receive 

– their eight-year-old son had 

cancer. 

Jonty Gray had been “offcolour” 

for a few weeks and 

was having regular headaches. On 

a family trip over Easter weekend 

last year he became breathless 

while walking up a hill and 

developed bruises on his body. 

His family returned from 

Wanaka and took him to 

Christchurch Hospital where 

he was diagnosed with T-cell 

leukaemia. 

Fast-forward 21 months and 

the 10-year-old’s outcome is 

looking positive after numerous 

hospital visits, about six to 

nine months of intensive 

chemotherapy, and plenty of 

support from his family, friends 

and hospital staff. 

In March next year, Jonty has 

been asked to sound the horn 

which will start thousands of 

participants off in the Star Media 

City2Surf fun run. 

It seems fitting considering 

his role as an ambassador with 

partner charity, the Child Cancer 

Foundation. 

Participants will be able to start 

their own fundraising pages or 

join the ‘courage team’, which 

will be fundraising on the day, or 

make a one-off donation. 

Those who have signed up for 

the event can also visit the Child 

Cancer Foundation tent and 

receive a post-run sports massage 

by giving a donation. 

Mrs Gray, who is a dentist, 

said Jonty is responding well to 

chemotherapy, which he will 

finish in July 2019. 

Then doctors will monitor his 

bone marrow and watch for any 

side effects from the medication 

used to treat his cancer. 

When he first started showing 

signs of being unwell, it wasn’t 

apparent at the start just how sick 

he was. 

“We just told him to drink 

more water and go to bed 

earlier,” Mrs Gray said as he was 

complaining of headaches. 

When he was admitted to 

hospital, he was diagnosed 

straight away. “You think it 

can’t be happening to your 

family, but then that is not true 

as two to three children are 

diagnosed with cancer each 

week,” she said. 

About a week later, Jonty 

started his treatment, but he 

wasn’t letting it get him down. 

The creative boy came up with 

ways to amuse himself while in 

hospital.

Child Cancer Foundation’s great work 

•From page 5 

“I had a game with another 

patient where we would try 

to do the most crazy thing we 

could think of while attached to 

the pump. So I scooted around 

the wards with it. But then she 

brought in a unicycle and carried 

a baby around while attached 

to her pump. That was hard to 

beat,” he laughed. 

He also has fun with the 

hospital staff. 

“We play a game with the 

anaesthetist where he will set a 

total for me to count to before I 

fall asleep,” he said. 

He said he had beaten the 

anaesthetist a few times, but 

sometimes he would cheat. 

“I would pretend to push the 

button that started the drugs and 

start counting, by time they had 

realised that I hadn’t pushed it 

I had already counted to about 

10,” he laughed. 

Jonty attends Cashmere 

Primary School and will be 

starting year six next year. He 

loves to draw and has taken to 

designing houses. Earlier in the 

year, he designed new railroad 

lines for Kaikoura to replace 

theose earthquake-damaged. 

While he does get tired easy, 

he loves to get out and play 

sports including touch for his 

school and hockey for Southern 

United.

This has been a happy family home for many years, but a change in circumstances creates an 

opportunity for another family to move in and enjoy this lovely property. The views are hard 

to beat, across the city to the mountains and sea beyond. The substantial home is configured 

to offer great flexibility for all sorts of households, with a semi self-contained area that could 

be fantastic for extended family. 

The main areas of the home are upstairs where living, dining and kitchen are open plan, all 

with aspects of the view. The living room opens through ranch sliders to a wooden deck that 

wraps around the house and also connects to the master bedroom. A large kitchen area with 

room for casual dining is a few steps up from the living spaces and connects to a private and 

sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property. 

The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with 

the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and 

convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area 

opens into a double bedroom with adjoining living and kitchen area, which in turn connects 

to a large games room. These are all generous spaces with myriad uses. The whole downstairs 

area has it’s own large outdoor area where of course the views take centre stage. 

There is a double garage with easy drive on access and off street parking. The timeless design 

of the house offers the next owners potential to update without breaking the bank. Whatever 

the next owner plans it will be the views that capture the heart and spark the imagination.

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE 

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED 

WHOLE CHICKEN 

Ingredients 

1 whole butterflied chicken 

1 to taste salt & freshly ground 

pepper 

Barbecue sauce 

Directions 

Preheat grill to medium. Get 

surface temperature to about 200 

deg C. 

Clean and oil well. Clean the 

chicken if you desire and pat dry. 

Cut the backbone out of the 

chicken with sharp kitchen 

scissors. You could use a knife, 

but the scissors are much safer 

and work great. 

With a large knife, give the 

breastbone a large nick in the 

front of the chicken to help the 

bird lay flat. 

Rinse the inside of the bird out, 

trim any loose fat and extra skin. 

Pat dry again. Give the bird a 

good sprinkle of salt and pepper. 

You could use any seasoning you 

want here. 

Place skin down on the 

grill. Flip after you get a nice 

browning on the skin after about 

12-15min. 

Give the chicken a good 

brushing of barbecue sauce. 

Grill another 3-4min until 

the sauce is browning well. 

Total grilling on the second side 

should take 20-25min. 

Let set for 5min then cut and 

serve. 

STEAK AND MUSHROOM 

PIE 

Ingredients 

4 large portobello mushrooms, 

sliced 

800g tri-tip 

steak, cut 

into 2cm 

pieces 

20g butter 

2 Tbsp oil 

1 onion, chopped 

2 cloves garlic, 

crushed 

1 serving flour, seasoned, for 

dusting 

2 cups beef stock 

½ tsp mixed herbs 

½ cup red wine 

1 Tbsp flour, mixed with 1 Tbsp 

melted butter for the thickening 

1 sheet short pastry (savoury) 

1 sheet puff pastry 

1 egg, for glazing 

Directions 

Heat oven to 180 deg C. Heat 

half the butter and oil in a medium 

sized pot. Fry the onions and 

garlic for 5min until softened. 

Dust the meat generously with 

flour and shake off the excess. 

Heat the remaining butter and 

oil in a frying pan. Brown the 

meat in batches then add to the 

onions. Add a little of the stock 

to the pan to deglaze then pour 

into the pot. 

Add the remaining stock to 

the meat along with the herbs, 

red wine and mushrooms. 

Cook on a low heat 

for 1 hour or until 

the meat is tender. 

Remove ¼ cup 

of the liquid 

and add to 

the thickening, 

combine 

then tip back into the 

pot and stir to thicken. Check the 

seasoning (add salt and pepper 

if you wish). Cool the mixture to 

room temperature. 

Line a 23cm pie tin with the 

short pastry and trim the edges. 

Line with baking paper and rice 

and bake blind for 15-20min 

until just cooked. Remove the 

paper. Fill the pastry with the 

meat mixture. Dampen the edges, 

and top with the puff pastry, 

pressing gently to seal. Use any 

extra pastry for decoration. Make 

a few slits in the top with a knife 

to release steam during baking. 

Brush the top with egg. Place 

into the oven for 35-40min until 

the pastry is risen and golden. 

Remove and serve hot.

SENIOR LIVING 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and 

as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. 

Scientists at Rush University Medical 

Center found those most deficient 

in vitamin B12 to have the smallest 

brain mass & the lowest scores on 

tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration & brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains & score higher 

on cognitive tests than those with lower 

levels. Yet another recent landmark study 

showed that B12 supplementation slows 

the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage 

& declining cognitive function. B12 is 

essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles, 

nerve health & repair, & prevention of 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

& plaque in the blood vessels. It can also 

increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard 

researchers found a 

34% decrease risk 

of vision loss in a 

study of participants 

aged 40+ who 

supplemented with 

B12. Another study 

linked a higher risk of 

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who 

were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication & other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth & 

thru bypassing the digestive tract have 

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in 

the body. 

Further detailed information is

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable 

Skin Rejuvenator 

Until Rachel 

Hunter’s popular 

TV series “TOUR 

OF BEAUTY” Dilo 

Oil was relatively 

unknown, being one 

of the best-kept secrets 

of the Pacific Islands. It 

may however be the number 

one natural beauty oil available 

as it possesses powerful natural skin 

regeneration and healing properties. 

According to ethnobotanist Chris 

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo) 

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as 

it is one of the most effective agents 

in promoting the regeneration and 

formation of new tissue, thereby 

accelerating wound healing and 

the growth of healthy skin. Dilo 

Oil is super-absorbing and can 

penetrate all three layers of the 

skin, offering exceptional cell 

hydration and regeneration. 

As well as this, Dilo Oil has 

potent anti-inflammatory, 

antimicrobial, antifungal and 

antioxidant properties. 

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the 

skin young and youthful and for just about 

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions 

for which it is considered helpful include 

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and 

acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch 

marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including 

chemical and radiation), diabetic sores, 

rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin, 

121 Skyhawk Road 

eczema, psoriasis, 

dermatitis, herpes 

sores (cold-sores), 

insect bites and 

stings, rheumatism, 

pain, sciatica, 

shingles, sunburn, 

rosacea, athlete’s foot, skin 

eruptions, warts, skin ulcers 

and sores, nappy rash and almost 

any other skin ailment and often with 

incredible results. 

Many beauty and skincare products 

on the market today contain unnatural 

ingredients that can be toxic and may 

even contribute to disease. Generally 

the benefits are exaggerated 

and often only temporary or 

camouflage. Marshall’s Dilo Oil is 

100% pure and certified organic. 

It has been cold-pressed from the 

Dilo nut and contains absolutely 

no additives. Polynesians and 

Southeast Asians have revered 

Dilo Oil for centuries believing it 

to be a sacred gift of nature and 

the Gods. Dilo oil stimulates 

and supports the skins natural 

healing process through the growth of new 

healthy skin tissue. I personally believe 

it is a remarkable product and highly 

recommend it to everyone. A 50ml bottle is 

$19.90 and 100ml only $29.90. 

Further information is available from 

the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s 

Health & Natural Therapy in New 

Brighton. We are always Happy to help!

This sensational property has that instant 

‘fall in love” effect... 

I’m not sure if it is the beautiful expansive 

water view, the private position or simply the 

home? Most likely it’s a combination of all that 

makes this a very special property. 

Modern, stylish and spacious, this home is 

soaked in sun, enjoys fabulous views. 

The home has been quality built, with 

an architectural appeal that will ideally suit 

families and professional couples who are 

seeking something a little different and a lot 

special. 

The property is tucked away, yet offers easy 

access, good off street parking and internal 

garaging. The home itself boasts a versatile 

floor plan, to cater for growing families or 

those who chose to work from home, or 

simply love to entertain. 

Generous open plan kitchen and dining 

plus a separate lounge with a floor to ceiling 

picture window invites the view inside 

dominates the first level and open to a deck 

that provides the ideal spot to soak in the view 

and relax with a wine or good book after a 

busy day. Also on this level is the master suite, 

complete with ensuite and walk in robe. 

Head downstairs and you will find a further 

three bedrooms, all with great storage and the 

main bathroom. 

This property is one that must be viewed to 

appreciate, come and see for yourself.

SONGWRITERS RETREAT NZ 

A NEW ZEALAND FIRST 

SINGER-songwriter Charlotte Yates prepares to deliver New 

Zealand's first songwriting retreat in Hanmer Springs, 

Waitangi Weekend, Feb 2-6, 2018. 

A professional songwriter for over 25 years, Charlotte also 

coaches songwriting students individually through her 

service, Song Doctor. Charlotte has designed and presented 

small group based songwriting programmes for workshops 

and following her own study through the Berklee College of 

Music recently, more intensive clinics. 

e Songwriters Retreat NZ has developed out of several 

shorter successful Songwriting Clinics held throughout the 

South Island over the last two years. 

Held over five days, the inaugural Songwriters Retreat NZ 

is an opportunity for songwriters to create and present new 

work in a clear, well designed practical programme, 

including one on one coaching, tutor and peer feedback and 

co-writing sessions. 

Songwriters Retreat NZ offers tried and tested methods 

for stimulating inspiration and turning it into real songs 

people want to hear. A maximum of12 places are available 

– enough to allow supportive musical connection, but also 

enough time for individual mentoring. 

Go from thinking about songwriting to doing it. Go from 

wanting to be a songwriter to being one. 

For more information, bookings and full programme go 

to www.songdoctor.co.nz.
