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

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

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

Fundraising dinner for Everest trek<br />
Redwood resident Tina<br />
Morrell is getting ready<br />
to trek to Mt Everest Base<br />
Camp. She writes about her<br />
training and her motivation<br />
IN OCTOBER 2016, I found<br />
myself lying in an ambulance<br />
being rushed to hospital for<br />
emergency surgery.<br />
My brush with what could<br />
have been an untimely death<br />
jolted me to adjust my mindset<br />
around the priorities in my life.<br />
I wanted to pursue what I<br />
loved doing. Life is short, and<br />
can be completely unpredictable.<br />
So, when a friend raised the<br />
idea of trekking to Mt Everest<br />
Base Camp, I thought, what have<br />
I got to lose? I promptly said:<br />
“Count me in.”<br />
Trekking to base camp had<br />
been one of those ideas that had<br />
periodically flashed through my<br />
mind, and I had always thought<br />
it would be something I’d never<br />
have the opportunity to do.<br />
Training started with walking<br />
and jogging, until last March<br />
when I took part and completed<br />
the 14km City to Surf, and slowly<br />
progressed from this to completing<br />
the Mt Cook half marathon<br />
in June with my teammates.<br />
Climbing to the peak of Mt<br />
Vernon for the 12th time and<br />
looking longingly across to Mt<br />
SUMMIT: Tina Morrell, Mike Lowden, Bette Chen and Fergus Flannery climbed Mt Vernon as<br />
part of their training before heading to Mt Everest base camp.<br />
Herbert, the largest peak in the<br />
Banks Peninsula, I decided that<br />
beast also needed tackling.<br />
That was followed by an excursion<br />
to Peel Forest, and I managed<br />
the climb up Mt Peel.<br />
This month, the team and I<br />
commence our altitude training<br />
at Vertex. The sealed-off room<br />
simulates the effects of altitude. adopted a family of six in need,<br />
Oxygen levels at base camp will who live in Khumjung and are<br />
be 50 per cent less than at sea still struggling since 2015 earthquakes.<br />
level, so to acclimatise ourselves<br />
we will train in this oxygendeprived<br />
environment.<br />
home and we are raising funds<br />
They need help to rebuild their<br />
The trek isn’t just about getting to get them out from under their<br />
to base camp though. We have current canvas roof and into a<br />
secure, warm home.<br />
Project EBC is a trek with a<br />
mission. Khumjung, incidentally,<br />
is the village that Sir Edmund<br />
Hillary built the first school on<br />
Everest in 1961 and this year<br />
marks the 65th anniversary of<br />
his ascent of Everest in 1953.<br />
A fundraising dinner and<br />
auction evening will be hosted<br />
at the Cashmere Club on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 17.<br />

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

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
RUN DOWN: The Papanui-Innes Community Board wants to work with the owners to start repairs or demolish abandoned suburban properties like these on<br />
Papanui Rd (left) and Westminster St.<br />

Bid to repair, demolish ‘eyesore’ properties<br />
•From page 1<br />
Ms Jones said the most obvious<br />
two are empty and derelict<br />
properties on Westminster St and<br />
the corner of Papanui and Innes<br />
Rds.<br />
“The issue is that these<br />
eyesores can be attractors<br />
of criminal activity, rats,<br />
affect neighbourhood<br />
amenity, as well as there<br />
being ongoing disrepair<br />
on the periphery,” she<br />
said.<br />
The Westminster St<br />
property has two buildings<br />
on it, with cracked and damaged<br />
pavement from when the<br />
second was moved onto the site<br />

FORMER PAPANUI Tigers prop<br />
Seth Tauamiti is a finalist in the<br />
domestic 18s player of the year at<br />
the New Zealand Rugby League<br />
awards.<br />
Tauamiti, who now lives in<br />
Auckland after signing with the<br />
Warriors, had a standout year<br />
in the 13-man code making<br />
the New Zealand Schoolboys<br />
side against the Australian<br />
Schoolboys last year.<br />
Ali Jones<br />
about eight months ago, Ms Jones<br />
said. A city council spokeswoman<br />
said its regulatory compliance<br />
unit has investigated the activity<br />
at 258 Papanui Rd and has an<br />
ongoing investigation at<br />
24 Westminster St.<br />
“In relation to compliance<br />
with the District<br />
Plan. The council is not<br />
working with the owners<br />
to tidy the properties in<br />
connection with these<br />
investigations,” she said.<br />
Ms Jones said to her<br />
understanding the city<br />
council has little power to make<br />
the owners do something with<br />
their properties.<br />
He was also selected for the<br />
Canterbury Bulls, played in the<br />
premier Tigers squad, and was a<br />
key part of the St Thomas’ school<br />
rugby and league sides.<br />
The other domestic 18s finalists<br />
are Steven Marsters, St George<br />
Illawarra; Tyler Slade, Warriors,<br />
and Jonathan Aumua Falelua-<br />
Malio, Akarana.<br />
His training has been on<br />
hold for the past few weeks as<br />
he recovers from a niggling leg<br />
injury and infection.<br />
“Unless the building itself<br />
is a danger structurally – we<br />
managed to speed up a demo<br />
of an abandoned building on<br />
Sherborne St using this. Or there<br />
is a fire risk from plant growth<br />
or other hazardous items on the<br />
property,” she said.<br />
The board is getting initial<br />
advice from staff about what the<br />
city council can enforce, which<br />
was supported by Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel at the city council meeting<br />
on Thursday.<br />
“We need initial advice on<br />
what the current rules are and<br />
how they’re applied and whether<br />
there are any changes around the<br />
regulatory process we could look<br />
Tauamiti told Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />
the first he knew about the<br />
nomination was after he scrolled<br />
through Facebook, saw the<br />
nomination and then his name<br />
on the list.<br />
“I was speechless for about<br />
5min. Then I quickly told<br />
my parents and they were<br />
gobsmacked,” he said.<br />
“I am so humbled and grateful<br />
for the nomination.”<br />
Reflecting on the year that saw<br />
him nominated, Tauamiti said it<br />
was a tough yet rewarding road.<br />
“I knew I had to make a point<br />
out there on the field. There was<br />
tough competition, I was up<br />
against. I knew when I trained, I<br />
had to put my head down and it<br />
has paid off,” he said.<br />
He is currently living with his<br />
former St Thomas’ teammate<br />
Patrick Elia in Auckland,<br />
who was also signed by the<br />
Warriors.<br />
“It was good to move up<br />
together and he is doing really<br />
at,” Ms Dalziel said.<br />
She said the city council has<br />
a process in the central city, but<br />
any residential work would have<br />
to follow a completely different<br />
framework.<br />
“It would need to be a very<br />
careful and considered approach,”<br />
Ms Dalziel said.<br />
Ms Jones said working with<br />
the owners of the abandoned<br />
properties might uncover other<br />
underlying issues in terms of<br />
insurance and EQC settlements.<br />
“We need to find out why they’re<br />
being abandoned.”<br />
“I find that quite astounding.<br />
I would have thought that seven<br />
years is enough time for an owner<br />
to have communicated with<br />
the council if it’s an insurance<br />
issue for example – or at least<br />
made an effort to get the property<br />
sorted,” she said.<br />
She said the board wants to<br />
keep the issue in front of people<br />
in order for the city to move on<br />
from the impact of the earthquakes.<br />
“It’s part of our recovery.”<br />

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

including the terracotta roof<br />

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

Academy growing<br />
at rapid pace<br />
The Christchurch United Football<br />
Club and its high-performance academy<br />
continues to develop at a rapid pace.<br />
The arrival of high-profile Academy<br />
Director Colin Williamson is another major<br />
step in the development of the academy<br />
based at the world-class Christchurch<br />
Football Centre (CFC) on Yaldhurst Road.<br />
Williamson worked with some of the best<br />
coaches in the Netherlands during his seven<br />
years at professional clubs PSV Eindhoven<br />
and Roda JC. He will be working closely<br />
with the club’s Brazilian Head Coach<br />
Fernando Lambert in developing the other<br />
coaches at Christchurch United.<br />
This year the academy has expanded to<br />
include an U13, two U14 and an U15 squad.<br />
Christchurch United also offers preacademy<br />
programmes from U6 to U12 and<br />
will expand its community programmes<br />

additional pitches at Yaldhurst, as well as<br />
the historical base at Spreydon Domain.<br />
Players can join the community teams<br />
from $119 a season, and still get the<br />
benefit of the professional coaching staff<br />
supporting the volunteer coaches.<br />
The academy and CFC were created<br />
by Christchurch businessman Slava<br />
Meyn in 2014 to provide all-year football<br />
development with top quality coaching.<br />
The academy in 2016 merged with<br />
the Christchurch United and last year<br />

1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical<br />
Center found those most deficient<br />
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest<br />
brain mass & the lowest scores on<br />
tests measuring short-term memory,<br />
concentration & brain performance.<br />
Another study showed that older people<br />
with higher levels of B12 in their blood<br />
have bigger, healthier brains & score higher<br />
on cognitive tests than those with lower<br />
levels. Yet another recent landmark study<br />
showed that B12 supplementation slows<br />
the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage<br />
& declining cognitive function. B12 is<br />
essential for energy production, cell<br />
health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles,<br />
nerve health & repair, & prevention of<br />
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular<br />
risk factor that is known to cause damage<br />
& plaque in the blood vessels. It can also<br />
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard<br />
researchers found<br />
a 34% decrease<br />
risk of vision<br />
loss in a study<br />
of participants<br />
aged 40+ who<br />
supplemented<br />
with B12. Another<br />
study<br />
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in<br />
neW<br />
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12<br />
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb<br />
it declining with age as the digestive<br />
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux<br />
medication & other drugs further reduce<br />
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in<br />
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual<br />
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth &<br />
thru bypassing the digestive tract have<br />
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in<br />
the body.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
Dilo Oil – The Remarkable<br />
Skin Rejuvenator<br />
Until Rachel<br />
Hunter’s popular<br />
TV series “TOUR<br />
OF BEAUTY” Dilo<br />
Oil was relatively<br />
unknown, being one<br />
of the best-kept secrets<br />
of the Pacific Islands. It<br />
may however be the number<br />
one natural beauty oil available<br />
as it possesses powerful natural skin<br />
regeneration and healing properties.<br />
According to ethnobotanist Chris<br />
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)<br />
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as<br />
it is one of the most effective agents<br />
in promoting the regeneration and<br />
formation of new tissue, thereby<br />
accelerating wound healing and<br />
the growth of healthy skin. Dilo<br />
Oil is super-absorbing and can<br />
penetrate all three layers of the<br />
skin, offering exceptional cell<br />
hydration and regeneration.<br />
As well as this, Dilo Oil has<br />
potent anti-inflammatory,<br />
antimicrobial, antifungal and<br />
antioxidant properties.<br />
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the<br />
skin young and youthful and for just about<br />
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions<br />
for which it is considered helpful include<br />
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and<br />
acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch<br />
marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including<br />
chemical and radiation), diabetic sores,<br />
rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,<br />
eczema, psoriasis,<br />
dermatitis, herpes<br />
sores (cold-sores),<br />
insect bites and<br />
stings, rheumatism,<br />
pain, sciatica,<br />
shingles, sunburn,<br />
rosacea, athlete’s foot, skin<br />
eruptions, warts, skin ulcers<br />
and sores, nappy rash and almost<br />
any other skin ailment and often with<br />
incredible results.<br />
Many beauty and skincare products<br />
on the market today contain unnatural<br />
ingredients that can be toxic and may<br />
even contribute to disease. Generally<br />
the benefits are exaggerated<br />
and often only temporary or<br />
camouflage. Marshall’s Dilo Oil is<br />
100% pure and certified organic.<br />
It has been cold-pressed from the<br />
Dilo nut and contains absolutely<br />
no additives. Polynesians and<br />
Southeast Asians have revered<br />
Dilo Oil for centuries believing it<br />
to be a sacred gift of nature and<br />
the Gods. Dilo oil stimulates<br />
and supports the skins natural<br />
healing process through the growth of new<br />
healthy skin tissue. I personally believe<br />
it is a remarkable product and highly<br />
recommend it to everyone. A 50ml bottle is<br />
$19.90 and 100ml only $29.90.<br />
Further information is available from<br />
the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s<br />
Health & Natural Therapy in New<br />

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

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

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