As temperatures topped 30 deg C last week, Taylors Mistake was the perfect place for a group of 

Christchurch Boys and Christchurch Girls’ High School students to cool down. Jack Rodgers, Lili 

Ovendale, Liam Rondel and Tasman Arneil, all 15, enjoyed the last of their school holidays at the beach 

before digging their uniforms out of the cupboard in time for class which started yesterday.

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.

from the editor’s desk 

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 


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.

BIKE FOR FREE POOL ENTRY 

An initiative encouraging 

people to cycle to the Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sports Centre five 

times to get free entry has been 

established at Graham Condon 

Recreation and Sports Centre. 

The incentive was started by 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board member 

Bridget Williams. It will run 

throughout February, which is 

cycle awareness month. 

BUS LANE FEEDBACK 

The city council has received 

about 200 items of feedback on 

the Main North Rd bus priority 

upgrade. Consultation has now 

closed on the plan, which includes 

removing parking along Main 

North Rd to make way for a 

new bus lane on November 17. 

City council staff will collate 

the feedback and report back to 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board.

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.

Vernon for the 12th time and

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 



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.

RUN DOWN: The Papanui-Innes Community Board wants to work with the owners to start repairs or demolish abandoned suburban properties like these on 

Papanui Rd (left) and Westminster St. 

PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER 

Bid to repair, demolish ‘eyesore’ properties 

•From page 1 

Ms Jones said the most obvious 

two are empty and derelict 

properties on Westminster St and 

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 

second was moved onto the site 

• By Andrew King 

FORMER PAPANUI Tigers prop 

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. 

Ali Jones 

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

The Marseille tile roof has 

been stripped and the roof 

plane strengthened with the 

installation of a ply diaphragm. 

The tiles have been reinstated, 

including the terracotta roof 

ridge finials. 

A rare example of decorated 

gothic-style architecture of the 

late 19th century, the building 

has been completely refurbished 

and upgraded and the sun room 

has been rebuilt.

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. 

Kathmandu 

brings you 

New Zealand’s 

most iconic 

adventure 

race.

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.

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.

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New

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

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

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.
