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

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 />

• By Andrew King<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 />

Christchurch United<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 />

for players from the age of 4 to 17, with<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 />

dominated many of the junior leagues.<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 />

Brighton. We are always Happy to help!<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 />
