Bid to
demolish
or repair
‘eyesore’
suburban
properties
• By Julia Evans
ABANDONED properties in the
north-west have led to them being
described as a suburban “Dirty 30”.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
said a number of abandoned and
vacant properties in the wards
have become “eyesores” and could
attract criminal activity.
Last year the city council
released a “Dirty 30” list of
buildings in the central city that
had been left abandoned and are
working with the owners to repair
or demolish them. At least eight
have been removed from that list.
Although the number may not
be exactly 30 in the north-western
suburbs, the principal is the same,
Ms Jones said.
The board wants the city
council to work with the owners
to begin repairing, tidying up or
demolishing the buildings.
Ms Jones said the most obvious
two are empty and derelict
properties on Westminster St and
the corner of Papanui and Innes
Rds.

THERE MIGHT be a quick way to sort out
abandoned eyesores in the north-west.
Send in The Dirty Dozen.
I’m sure the likes of Lee Marvin,
Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine and
Telly Savalas, stars of that epic movie many, many years ago,
would take out the buildings in a heartbeat – under the cover of
darkness, of course.
If you’re wondering what I’m going on about, it’s our front
page article today and the Papanui-Innes Community Board
version of the city council’s register of the Dirty 30.
The board wants the city council to work with the owners
of abandoned buildings to begin repairing, tidying up or
demolishing them. That unfortunately will take a long time, but
at least they’re trying.

St Albans centre rebuild faces hurdle
No decision
on resource
consent
• By Julia Evans
MEDIATION MAY be needed
to work through a neighbour’s
objection to the new St Albans
Community Centre.
Caledonian Rd residents
Thirza and Philip Bean
submitted in opposition to the
community centre proposal,
which has
delayed the
rebuild that
was set to start
at the end of
last year. Their
property borders
Pauline
Cotter
the Colombo
St community
centre.
City
council head of community
support, governance and
partnerships unit Lester
Wolfreys said the city council
has not issued resource consent
so work cannot begin.
“The city council is
considering a resource consent
application and has received an
objection. No decision has yet
been made on the application,”
ON THE MOVE: The temporary St Albans Community Centre
is shifting to MacFarlane Park in Shirley before the centre’s
rebuild begins.
Mr Wolfreys said.
In their written objection,
Mr and Mrs Bean said the large
facility would increase the scale
of activity in the area, as well as
traffic, demand for car parks,
noise generated and a loss of
privacy.
Although Mr and Mrs Bean
said the plan is a “great idea”
for the community, they want
the centre’s operating hours to
be reduced, additional on-site
parking provided, a cap on the
number of people using the
building, and a reduction in
the floor space and outdoor
area.
A city council spokeswoman
said no start or finish date could
be confirmed until the resource
consent issues are resolved and
consent is granted.
But city councillor Pauline
Cotter said staff were working
with the objecting party.
“We’re hoping to sort it out
through mediation,” she said.
“This kind of thing can often
be solved quite easily.”
Cr Cotter said she is aware the
community is eager to get this
project under way and doesn’t
want it delayed longer than
necessary.
“The community board’s
priority is getting this new
facility open. We’re keen to
push that big green go button,”
Cr Cotter said.
She said the facility was
“bigger and better” than
before and while the Shirley
Community Centre rebuild was
on the “back burner”, it would
be serving that community as
well.
When it is completed the new
St Albans Community Centre
will include a large hall with
sprung floor, a recreation room,
two small meeting rooms, a
multi-media room, an office,
kitchen and toilets.
The operation of the St
Albans Community Centre
was temporarily moved from
Colombo St to the St Albans
Tennis Club on Dover St on
Thursday as its building is
being moved to MacFarlane
Park.
The community centre
will operate from the tennis
club until the new facility is
built.

Fundraising dinner for Everest trek
Redwood resident Tina
Morrell is getting ready
to trek to Mt Everest Base
Camp. She writes about her
training and her motivation
IN OCTOBER 2016, I found
myself lying in an ambulance
being rushed to hospital for
emergency surgery.
My brush with what could
have been an untimely death
jolted me to adjust my mindset
around the priorities in my life.
I wanted to pursue what I
loved doing. Life is short, and
can be completely unpredictable.
So, when a friend raised the
idea of trekking to Mt Everest
Base Camp, I thought, what have
I got to lose? I promptly said:
“Count me in.”
Trekking to base camp had
been one of those ideas that had
periodically flashed through my
mind, and I had always thought
it would be something I’d never
have the opportunity to do.
Training started with walking
and jogging, until last March
when I took part and completed
the 14km City to Surf, and slowly
progressed from this to completing
the Mt Cook half marathon
in June with my teammates.
Climbing to the peak of Mt
Vernon for the 12th time and
looking longingly across to Mt
SUMMIT: Tina Morrell, Mike Lowden, Bette Chen and Fergus Flannery climbed Mt Vernon as
part of their training before heading to Mt Everest base camp.
Herbert, the largest peak in the
Banks Peninsula, I decided that
beast also needed tackling.
That was followed by an excursion
to Peel Forest, and I managed
the climb up Mt Peel.

New bollards
to deter
motorcyclists
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Julia Evans
MOTORCYCLISTS using a
Fendalton alleyway will have to go
the long way around.
At its last meeting, the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board approved two
new bollards at both ends of the alleyway
between Coldstream Court
and Barlow St.
Residents in the area wrote to the
city council with safety concerns
as motorcyclists and cyclists have
been using the alleyway as a shortcut.
Coldstream Court resident
Hamish Martin told the city council
he had seen a collision between
a cyclist and a pedestrian.
“A child is going to be taken out
and we don’t want to see that happening,”
board chairman David
Cartwright said.
The board received advice from
city council staff that improving
visibility by lowering the fences
of the adjacent properties was the
recommended solution.
However, Mr Cartwright said it
decided introducing a bollard was
the best deterrent.
“It’ll be appropriate for big prams
or wheelchairs to still be able to
navigate,” he said. Mr Cartwright
said only the “real idiots” were
cycling or riding their motorcycle
down the alleyway.

the corner of Papanui and Innes
Rds.
“The issue is that these
eyesores can be attractors
of criminal activity, rats,
affect neighbourhood
amenity, as well as there
being ongoing disrepair
on the periphery,” she
said.
The Westminster St
property has two buildings
on it, with cracked and damaged
pavement from when the

Seth Tauamiti is a finalist in the
domestic 18s player of the year at
the New Zealand Rugby League
awards.
Tauamiti, who now lives in
Auckland after signing with the
Warriors, had a standout year
in the 13-man code making
the New Zealand Schoolboys
side against the Australian
Schoolboys last year.

about eight months ago, Ms Jones
said. A city council spokeswoman
said its regulatory compliance
unit has investigated the activity
at 258 Papanui Rd and has an
ongoing investigation at
24 Westminster St.
“In relation to compliance
with the District
Plan. The council is not
working with the owners
to tidy the properties in
connection with these
investigations,” she said.
Ms Jones said to her
understanding the city
council has little power to make
the owners do something with
their properties.
He was also selected for the
Canterbury Bulls, played in the
premier Tigers squad, and was a
key part of the St Thomas’ school
rugby and league sides.
The other domestic 18s finalists
are Steven Marsters, St George
Illawarra; Tyler Slade, Warriors,
and Jonathan Aumua Falelua-
Malio, Akarana.
His training has been on
hold for the past few weeks as
he recovers from a niggling leg
injury and infection.
“Unless the building itself
is a danger structurally – we
managed to speed up a demo
of an abandoned building on
Sherborne St using this. Or there
is a fire risk from plant growth
or other hazardous items on the
property,” she said.
The board is getting initial
advice from staff about what the
city council can enforce, which
was supported by Mayor Lianne
Dalziel at the city council meeting
on Thursday.
“We need initial advice on
what the current rules are and
how they’re applied and whether
there are any changes around the
regulatory process we could look
Tauamiti told Nor’West News
the first he knew about the
nomination was after he scrolled
through Facebook, saw the
nomination and then his name
on the list.
“I was speechless for about
5min. Then I quickly told
my parents and they were
gobsmacked,” he said.
“I am so humbled and grateful
for the nomination.”
Reflecting on the year that saw
him nominated, Tauamiti said it
was a tough yet rewarding road.
“I knew I had to make a point
out there on the field. There was
tough competition, I was up
against. I knew when I trained, I
had to put my head down and it
has paid off,” he said.
He is currently living with his
former St Thomas’ teammate
Patrick Elia in Auckland,
who was also signed by the
Warriors.
“It was good to move up
together and he is doing really
at,” Ms Dalziel said.
She said the city council has
a process in the central city, but
any residential work would have
to follow a completely different
framework.
“It would need to be a very
careful and considered approach,”
Ms Dalziel said.
Ms Jones said working with
the owners of the abandoned
properties might uncover other
underlying issues in terms of
insurance and EQC settlements.
“We need to find out why they’re
being abandoned.”
“I find that quite astounding.
I would have thought that seven
years is enough time for an owner
to have communicated with
the council if it’s an insurance
issue for example – or at least
made an effort to get the property
sorted,” she said.
She said the board wants to
keep the issue in front of people
in order for the city to move on
from the impact of the earthquakes.
“It’s part of our recovery.”

Gatehouse restored
A MAJOR transformation has
restored the Mona Vale gatehouse
to its former glory.
Gracing one of the entrances
to the Fendalton homestead
and gardens, the category two
heritage gatehouse was badly
damaged during the earthquakes.
However, an extensive
programme of work has saved
and strengthened the two-storey
structure, which was built in
1905. It reopened on Thursday.
“The gatehouse symbolises the
city’s renewal,” said Nicky Brown,
city council operations manager,
garden and heritage parks.
“The intricate restoration and
attention to detail have ensured
that the Mona Vale gatehouse is
back to its best, and stronger than
ever,” Ms Brown said.
Much of the work involved the
deconstruction and reconstruction
of the gatehouse, with it
spending most of that time under
plastic wrap.
The exterior brick masonry
walls were deconstructed to the
first floor level, strengthened with
reinforced concrete columns and
a reinforced concrete beam at the
top.
The porch steps and floor have
also been rebuilt. The ground
floor has been re-levelled, while
a palisade wall now stabilises the

A rare example of decorated
gothic-style architecture of the

Women relish challenge
Kathmandu
Coast to Coast
male domination
changing
HISTORICALLY THE Kathmandu Coast
to Coast has been a male dominated race,
but that is definitely changing.
The event is full for the first time in a
decade, with organisers and title sponsor
Kathmandu challenging more females to
take it on, a rallying call that is gaining
some real momentum and having an impact
on the event in a number of ways.
Jess De Bont is a working mum who
has competed in the event and now
throws her energy into running a youth
programme, training a new generation of
multi-sport athletes.
“It’s wonderful to see so many females
stepping up and being involved in Coast
to Coast whether it be in a team, tandem,
support crew role or some other way of
getting behind the event,” she said.
Ms De Bont established the Coast to
Coast Rangers, a programme for disadvantaged
youth in Canterbury
She is one of a growing number of
women who are making their mark on
the event in different ways.
“Our programme is about making the
event accessible to teenagers who would
not have had the opportunity otherwise,”
she said.
“The Kathmandu Coast to Coast is accessible,
achievable and fun, and there’s a
real social element to training and getting
into the outdoors. Kathmandu are all
about making the outdoors accessible to
everyone and the race is the same so it’s a
great fit.”
Ms De Bont says for her east Christchurch
teenagers it has been about getting
outside and exploring the wonderful
backyard that Christchurch and Canterbury
offers, just as much as it has been
about training.
“They have biked, run and kayaked over
places they never knew existed. Exposing
them to the great outdoors has been an
absolute privilege. They embrace each
week in the Port Hills with enthusiasm
and gratitude,” said Ms De Bont.
This is the third year the Coast to Coast
Rangers have competed in the event with
16-year-old Emmy Slott, competing in the
kayak leg.
Emmy has two fellow Linwood College
team mates competing with her in a twoday,
three person team, with the other
two doing the cycling and running legs,
making the challenge of completing the
243km journey across the South Island
very do-able.
“They will be supported by their friend,
Aleisha, who is keen to see the event from
a support crew role and then compete in
years to come,” said Ms De Bont.
“Emmy has been training hard these
past few months, getting up at 6am for
kayak training more than once a week has
been a challenge in itself.
“For me, it is all about giving these east
Christchurch teenagers opportunities
they perhaps wouldn’t normally have and
taking them to places they haven’t been,
encouraging them to step outside their
comfort zones, which they do on a regular
basis. Some people don’t step outside
their comfort zones all year. Our
teenagers do it each week when I ask
them to participate in various activities,
TRAINING: Jess De Bont with Finn
Pierce who is a part of her Coast to
Coast Rangers group for youths in
Canterbury.
challenges and races. It is inspiring to see.
As a working mum and an athlete myself,
I know all that the multi-tasking busy
mums have to do. Trying to fit in kids
activities, nutritional cooking, training
and working is a juggling act in itself,
but it is a very special thing to be able to
compete and have your children waiting
and cheering so proudly as their mum
crosses the finish line, smiles all round,”
said Ms De Bont.
Kathmandu Coast to Coast full
– women’s race shaping up for
titanic battle
More women competing is highlighted
even further with the women’s World
Championship Longest Day event shaping
up as one to watch this year.
The late entry of two-time champion
and three-time adventure racing world
champion, Sophie Hart, has added some
real spice to an already deep field for the
women’s one-day race. The 34-year-old
Lyttelton GP is a two-time winner of the
women’s one-day event with her last win
coming in 2013. Her first win in 2011 in a
time of 12hr 10min was only 1min
outside the women’s individual record
set by Christchurch’s Andrea Murray in
1997.
The women’s field is the strongest in
years, led by defending champion and
four-time winner Elina Ussher; last year’s
runner-up, South African Robyn Owen,
who was leading the race into the final
bike leg before being overhauled by Ussher;
Christchurch-based German Simone
Maier, who last raced in the event in 2015
when she was second; and Whakatane’s
Corrine O’Donnell, a strong runner who
always makes her presence felt.
Former world champion kayaker and
Olympian Teneal Hatton is another one
to watch in the women’s one-day event.
Hatton was third in November’s ICF
ocean ski world champs in Hong Kong,
racing as the event’s defending world
champion.
Leading Australian multi-sport athlete
Alex Hunt and New Zealander Bobby
Dean loom as men’s defending World
Championship Longest Day champion
Sam Clark’s biggest challenges. Clark
stormed home last year to pass Braden
Currie on the final bike leg and claim
back-to-back wins in the World Championship
longest day event.
Dean has raced for top adventure racing
team Team Bivouac inov-8 and was 11th
in the 2016 Kathmandu Coast to Coast
and fourth last year while Hunt is back for
his third crack at his favourite event and is
aiming to repeat his 2016 podium effort.

Mainland Football and other clubs.

Christchurch United
Academy growing
at rapid pace
The Christchurch United Football
Club and its high-performance academy
continues to develop at a rapid pace.
The arrival of high-profile Academy
Director Colin Williamson is another major
step in the development of the academy
based at the world-class Christchurch
Football Centre (CFC) on Yaldhurst Road.
Williamson worked with some of the best
coaches in the Netherlands during his seven
years at professional clubs PSV Eindhoven
and Roda JC. He will be working closely
with the club’s Brazilian Head Coach
Fernando Lambert in developing the other
coaches at Christchurch United.
This year the academy has expanded to
include an U13, two U14 and an U15 squad.
Christchurch United also offers preacademy
programmes from U6 to U12 and
will expand its community programmes
for players from the age of 4 to 17, with
additional pitches at Yaldhurst, as well as
the historical base at Spreydon Domain.
Players can join the community teams
from $119 a season, and still get the
benefit of the professional coaching staff
supporting the volunteer coaches.
The academy and CFC were created
by Christchurch businessman Slava
Meyn in 2014 to provide all-year football
development with top quality coaching.
The academy in 2016 merged with
the Christchurch United and last year
dominated many of the junior leagues.
A staggering 36 players were being picked
for representative teams.
The 2018 Football
Season is here!

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
neW
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.

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,
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!
NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL
As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty
Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable
skin anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred
Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil
as it can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration
& regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin
cells & this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help
reduce lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties.
Dilo Oil Supports
• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines, blemishes, scars &
stretch marks
• Skin hydration
• Skin repair & growth, helps feed the skin & stimulate healthy new cells
• Wound healing & skin protection from bacteria, viruses & fungus
• Most skin problems, rosacea, pimples, ulcers & sores, acne, psoriasis,
eczema, dermatitis, rashes, blisters, skin eruptions, warts, insect bites &
stings, athlete’s foot, burns, nappy rash etc.
• Joint & muscular pain

BRAIN FOG, FORGETFUL, FEELING OLD, LOW ENERGY, MOOD SWINGS,
DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

What’s happening
at Lady Wigram
Retirement Village?
It’s been a busy few years for The
Golden Healthcare Group with their latest
development of Lady Wigram Retirement
Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas
were occupied in August 2015 and now 101
villas are completed.
In December, the club house opened
which provides a bowling green, hair
dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard
room, movie theatre and library. The Club
House has all the trimmings, including 16
one and two bedrooms Apartments. The
next stage will also include a swimming
pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments.
When speaking with one of their
residents about how he feels about the new
Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is
so excited about it opening, we have all
been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is
fascinated as to how the fountain works.
He has lived in the village for the past
few years, enjoying his new life style and
making friends. He has also picked up new
hobbies including learning to play mahjong,
“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr
Havill owned his own home for 44 years
and in that time he maintained the house,
painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t
have to do that anymore, this is my place for
the moment. Every villa is different, even
121 Skyhawk Road
though they look the same. But you make it
your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this
age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in
but no one else can and that is an additional
sense of security for us”.
Owner John Tooby says “our residents
are very involved in the continuing
development of the village, they share our
pride in making this a great place to live. It’s
a real community and it continues to grow”.
ARE YOU READY
TO DOWNSIZE?
Paying rates for a house that’s
too big? Paying maintenance and
heating costs for space you don’t use?
A move to one of our
architecturally designed villas
at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in
Geraldine will cut those costs.
Three villas are available for
occupation now, priced from
$355,000.

Hydrate to elevate
We all know drinking water is important, but the
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.
With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming
less than two glasses of water a day and only
5% drinking more than the recommended
eight, the message obviously hasn’t hit
home on the importance of hydrating our
body.
A recent survey conducted by
SodaStream found that Cantabrians are
particularly guilty when it comes to their
water intake.
With 82% drinking less than six glasses
of water a day, but with over 85% admitting
they feel healthier when they drink more
water, something needs to be done to
bridge the gap in terms of what we know
to be true and what we’re actually doing
about it.
This same survey revealed that although
41% of us limit how many soft drinks we
consume due to our concerns over sugar
content, the same number of people said
tea or coffee is this their number one drink
of choice.
Some people even believe that the water
consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes
part of their water intake. This is a fallacy.
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as
does alcohol too, it means we need to
drink even more water to compensate.
Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t
drink nearly enough water is that we
simply forget. Now with apps you can
download direct to your smart phone,
there are no more excuses.
Further studies proved that people who
had a SodaStream machine in their homes
were more likely to drink more water.
In fact, the study showed that people
drank 30% more water.
For those of us who aren’t used
to drinking water like it’s going
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways
to increase the fun factor while still
being healthy.
By simply turning tap water into
sparkling water with a SodaStream
machine and adding a splash of fresh
lemon juice or naturally squeezed fruit
juice, is bound to have a positive impact on
our health and wellbeing.

design, which makes use of 160+ moving lights and over
2000 lighting cues arranged to punctuate and enhance
the musical elements of the show.
