Flooded 

footpath 

drains Ray’s 

will to fight 

• By Matt Slaughter 

CASEBROOK’S RAY O’Rourke 

is fed up with waiting on the city 

council to fix a sunken footpath. 

Mr O’Rourke lives on Brogar 

Pl and said he has been fighting 

the city council for nearly two 

years to get the uneven footpath 

in Sisson Park opposite his 

house fixed. 

The damage to the footpath 

covers about 20m, with Mr 

O’Rourke saying it is almost 

unusable in bad weather. 

“The footpath through there 

has sunk lower than the grass. 

When it rains you almost need 

gumboots to get through it.” 

Mr O’Rourke said he was 

frustrated that two years of 

emailing and calling the city 

council about the issue has not 

led to any action.

PostShops 

to close; 

new 

premises 

sought 


NEW ZEALAND Post 

is closing its Papanui and 

Merivale PostShops next year. 

The Papanui PostShop at 37 

Main North Rd is set to close 

on February 1, followed by the 

Merivale facility at 183 Papanui 

Rd in June. 

A New Zealand Post 

spokesperson said the closures 

were the result of a decline in 

the amount of mail being sent 

and received, with 63,000,000 

fewer items nationally being 

sent compared to the last 

financial year. 

New Zealand Post said it 

plans to open new branches 

in Papanui and Merivale in the 

premises of local businesses in 

the area, but it did not know 

where or when this would be. 

“We are actively looking for 

businesses to partner with. We 

don’t have a time frame on how 

long this search will take. The 

most important thing for New 

Zealand Post is to find the most 

suitable businesses to work 

with.” 

Some say the move will prove 

a major inconvenience for 

residents and other post offices 

in the north-west.

GOOD ON Ray O’Rourke for not giving 

up on his battle against the city council (see 

page 1). 

Ray has been fighting the bureaucrats 

for two years to get a small bit of his 

neighbourhood fixed. 

In terms of jobs, it’s probably just a drop in the bucket when it 

comes to city council priorities. 

But it is these relatively minor things that don’t get done which 

irritate people. After all it’s the Rays of this world who pay their 

rates to keep the city running. 

There is a glimmer of hope though. Ray’s determination may 

finally have paid off. 

The city council has indicated it will have the pathway repaired 

by midway through next year. 

You’ll need more patience Ray.

Board outlines aims for next year 

Dealing with 

traffic increase 

major priority 


THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board says water 

issues, traffic management and 

community spaces will be its 

main priorities next year. 

At the top of the list is 

ensuring plans are in place to 

manage the increase in traffic 

flow once the Northern Corridor 

project has been 

completed. 

Community 

board member 

Jo Byrne said 

the Northern 

Corridor was 

Jo Byrne 

expected to bring 

an extra 20,000- 

30,000 vehicles 

along Cranford St and through 

suburbs in the north-west. 

Ms Byrne said ensuring 

residents and road-users in 

Papanui-Innes are safe is one of 

her biggest challengers heading 

into the new year. 

Papanui-Innes city councillor 

Mike Davidson said it was 

important to “make sure 

everything’s done to mitigate 

traffic effects” from the 

Northern Corridor. 

Cr Davidson said he also 

wants to see ongoing issues 

with parking options in 

Papanui addressed to open 

up access to new shops and 

businesses which continue to be 

developed in the area. 

Cr Davidson said concerns 

with chlorine in Papanui’s water 

is also at the forefront of his 

mind. “We’re trying to push 

as hard as we can to get the 

chlorine out of the water.” 

The creation of more spaces 

for the community to use is also 

a goal for 2019. 

ISSUES: 

Managing the 

increase in traffic 

from the Northern 

Corridor will be a 

priority next year 

for the Papanui- 

Innes Community 

Board. 

Ms Byrne said she wanted 

to see the plans for the 

construction of the Edgeware 

Pool gain enough funding to 

become a reality. 

Cr Davidson said the most 

urgent need is to find a new 

home and business partner for 

the Papanui PostShop, which 

will close in February.

LIGHTS AT ST PAUL’S 

St Paul’s Anglican Church has 

been lit up with a Christmas 

light display. A fundraiser in 

August raised enough money for 

the lights to be installed, with 

the design work completed by 

international lighting designer 

Kevin Cawley. Upcoming events 

at the church include a children’s 

crib service at 5pm on Christmas 

Eve and a midnight service at 

11pm. 

PARK RE-OPENING 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has confirmed St Albans 

Park will reopen in March. The 

park has been closed for more 

than a year to allow work to be 

done to fix its drainage systems. 

A community celebration will be 

held when the park opens, with 

councillors and board members 

inviting residents in the area to 

discuss options for an annual 

community event in the park. 

LIBRARY VISITS 

Fendalton Library was the most 

visited library in the city this year. 

From January to November, the 

library had 405,571 visitors. The 

most requested adult book at the 

library was The Midnight Line by 

Lee Child. The most requested 

children’s book was The 91-storey 

Treehouse by Andy Griffiths.

Premises for PostShops sought 

•From page 1 

Papanui-Innes Ward city 

councillor Mike Davidson said the 

closure of the Papanui branch was 

“very concerning,” given the lack of 

certainty around the time frame and 

location for opening a new branch in 

the area. 

“Surely they should have had a new 

one running before they decided to 

close the current 

one.” 

Cr Davidson said 

his preferred option 

would be for New 

Zealand Post to 

partner with the city 

council to open a new 

Simon 

Templeton 

shop in the Papanui 

Service Centre. 

Age Concern chief 

executive Simon Templeton said the 

closures would have a “social cost” 

for older Papanui residents who still 

visit PostShops to carry out their daily 

business. 

“A lot of people go in and pay their 

bills on a monthly basis.” 

New Zealand Post said the post 

office boxes in Papanui would remain, 

but could not confirm the future of the 

Merivale boxes. 

CLOSING: The Merivale PostShop 

on the corner of Papanui and 

Office Rds and the Papanui 

PostShop on Main North Rd will 

close next year. 

Volunteer gets award 

A MAIREHAU woman

Coleen Dunlop, 89, was 

presented with a Civic Award 

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel on 

Wednesday for her service to the 

Wainoni Avonside Community 

Services Trust. 

She was one of 12 to receive 

the award at The Great Hall at 

the Christchurch Arts Centre. 

Mrs Dunlop has been volunteering 

at the trust for 17 years 

since it was formed. 

She was nominated for the 

award by trust co-ordinator 

Betty Chapman, trust patron 

Margaret Austin and chairman 

Rodney Routledge. 

Mrs Chapman said Mrs Dunlop 

is an amazing woman, who 

volunteers most days and always 

thinks of others. “You will never 

meet someone like her.” 

“Coleen also had triple heart 

bypass surgery 18 years ago, but 

this has never stopped her. She is 

always thinking of other people 

and worrying as to their wellbeing 

and is always wondering 

what she can do for them to help 

out a little,” she said.

Backlash over Riccarton Rd tree plan 

• By Anan Zaki 

A LACK of options during 

consultation has been blamed for 

the backlash over putting trees 

down the middle of Riccarton 

Rd. 

That’s the view of Riccarton 

Bush and Kilmarnock Residents’ 

Association secretary Bob 

Broughton. 

Earlier 

this month, 

Western News 

reported 

that central 

Riccarton 

residents 

were against 

Bob 

Broughton 

the idea of a 

median with 

27 columnar 

hornbeam trees on Riccarton Rd 

between Clarence and Matipo 

Sts. 

Readers rejected the idea in 

more than 70 responses to the 

article in Western News. 

Mr Broughton said when 

the city council consulted with 

residents over the changes to 

Riccarton Rd in 2015, it didn’t 

give an option for a median that 

was not lined with trees. 

Residents were given two 

options: Option A with a treelined 

median to “strengthen the 

GREENERY: The city council plans to plant 27 columnar hornbeam trees on Riccarton Rd, on 

the median between Matipo and Clarence Sts. 

character” of the busy Riccarton 

Rd shopping area between 

Clarence and Matipo Sts, which 

was selected. 

Option B was for trees on 

a widened footpath, with no 

mention of a median. 

Out of 194 submissions, 

98 preferred option A and 96 

favoured option B, the city 

council said. 

Mr Broughton took part in the 

consultation and said residents 

wanted a median to separate the 

traffic, but were against the idea 

of trees along the middle of the 

road. 

If there was an option for 

a median without trees, Mr 

Broughton believes the outcome 

of the consultation would have 

been different. 

Said city council manager 

planning and delivery transport 

Lynette Ellis: “The trees in 

conjunction with the other 

streetscape enhancements, 

such as new furniture, paving 

and landscaping, provide an 

improved and renewed sense 

of place to the identity of 

central Riccarton as a 

destination rather than solely as 

a transport corridor. A median 

with no trees would not have 

provided the same benefits,” she 

said. 

The upgrade of Riccarton Rd 

between Matipo and Harakeke 

Sts will start in February. It is 

expected to be completed by 

December 2020.

XMAS: Bupa Parklands

items close to their hearts. 

Retirement 

village’s tree 

of memories 

RESIDENTS AT the Bupa 

Parklands on Papanui 

retirement village took a

tree this year. 

The tree was attached to the 

residents’ feature wall and was 

decorated with images from 

their lives, including an old 

typewriter and Dr Seuss books. 

Care home manager Pauline 

Porton said residents had a great

“Our residents enjoyed thinking

Battle to fix footpath 

•From page 1 

Mr O’Rourke said his 

frustration increased after 

the city council recently fixed 

another footpath opposite his 

house. 

“They need to get their 

priorities right. I’ve thought 

about giving up at times, but . . . 

I’m battling on.” 

His wait to have the footpath 

fixed may be over in June. 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Mike Davidson said he was on 

Mr O’Rourke’s side and had 

been pushing the city council to 

get the path fixed by the end of 

the year. 

However, Cr Davidson 

said he was told this was not 

possible because the project had 

fallen at the “tail end” of the 

city council’s programme of 

works for the year. 

A LONG-SERVING Wainoni 

Avonside Community Services 

Trust member has been 

recognised for her volunteer 

work. 

Mairehau’s Coleen Dunlop, 

89, was presented with a Civic 

Award for community service 

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel on 

Wednesday. 

He said it had since reached 

a consensus on the issue, with 

the footpath expected to be 

completed by June. 

But Cr Davidson said this had 

not happened “as quickly as I 

would have liked.” 

Mr O’Rourke said he was yet 

again disappointed with the 

city council’s response, given 

that an email he received in 

March said the repairs could be 

completed by July this year. 

“It’s just been promises, 

promises and seems to be going 

nowhere.” 

Mr Davidson praised Mr 

O’Rourke for his persistence 

with the city council, saying 

people like him are the reason 

things get done. 

“A lot of people will just put 

up with these issues and that 

shouldn’t have to happen.” 

Award for community service 

She was one of 12 to receive 

the award at the Great Hall at the 

Christchurch Arts Centre. 

Mrs Dunlop has been volunteering 

at the trust for the 17 

years it has been in existence. 

The awards recognise 

substantial service, usually of a 

voluntary nature benefiting the 

city and its people. 

$1110 Christmas cake part 

of Gerry’s video series 


ILAM MP Gerry Brownlee has 

proven that a career as a celebrity 

chef may be an option if politics 

ever falls through. 

In his latest series of Facebook 

videos, Mr Brownlee showcased 

his baking skills and a more laidback 

side of his personality. 

Mr Brownlee raised $1110 

for the Salvation Army after 

releasing a series of videos 

showing Facebook viewers how 

to make the perfect Christmas 

cake and auctioning the cake on 

Trade Me. 

The donation was made as a 

tribute to former Lieutenant- 

Colonel and Salvation Army 

worker Peter Savage, who died 

last year. 

Mr Brownlee said he did not 

want to comment on his good 

deed, in spite of receiving a large 

response from viewers, simply 

saying his reasons for doing it 

were “pretty self-explanatory.” 

The videos have received 

34,600 Facebook views, with the 

cake’s Trade Me auction being 

viewed 21,000 times before 

the sale. Mr Brownlee said in 

a previous statement that Mr 

Savage “epitomised for me the 

Christmas message of peace 

and goodwill to all.” 

He wanted to do what he could 

“to raise a few dollars for the 

Salvation Army to help them 

with some of the extra things 

they do around Christmas time.” 

Mr Brownlee’s cake baking 

videos were also released as part 

of a new push to connect with his 

social media audience. 

The former Canterbury 

earthquake recovery minister

Brownlee’s special

released his first instructional 

video in October, showing 

Facebook viewers how to make 

home-made fertiliser and 

attracting the interest of more 

than 37,000 viewers. 

Mr Brownlee told the AM 

Show in October the videos were 

a great way to connect with a 

wider audience and show the less 

serious side of what he does on 

the weekend.

Fishing hook fatal for dog 

Warning to 

watch out for 

beach anglers 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A DOG has died after 

swallowing a longline fishing 

hook at Waimairi beach. 

It has prompted the dog’s 

owners to warn other beachgoers 

to be wary of longline 

fishing devices being used in 

busy areas. 

Belfast couple Hilary and 

Andy Ashby said they are 

“devastated” after their 11-yearold 

poodle, Sooty, had to be 

euthanised when a 3cm hook 

became lodged in his throat at 

Waimairi beach. 

Mrs Ashby was on a morning 

walk with her sister-in-law 

and their dogs at 10.30am on 

December 8 when the incident 

unfolded. 

She said she was walking 

towards the North Beach Surf 

Lifesaving Club when she saw 

an Asian family rolling out a 

longline fishing device on the 

shore. 

Sooty smelled the bait and bit 

into the fish attached to one of 

OPTION ONE 

BEAUTIFUL: Sooty died when a 3cm hook became lodged in 

his throat at Waimairi beach. 

the hooks. 

Mrs Ashby said her dog 

“panicked” and was pulling at 

the line. She asked the woman 

controlling the line for scissors 

who called out to her husband to 

get a pair. 

“He took quite a while to 

come. He cut the line . . . at this 

stage Sooty was frothing at the 

mouth,” she said. 

Meanwhile, Mrs Ashby was 

juggling trying to get her other 

dog, Axel, onto a lead to ensure 

he didn’t suffer the same fate. 

Sooty was then taken to Pet 

Doctors Marshall and Pringle 

in Phillipstown where he spent 

10 hours on the operating table 

before he was taken to the After 

Hours Vet. 

Mrs Ashby said the hook 

punctured Sooty’s esophagus 

and the vet had to cut into his 

throat to get the hook out. 

It is suspected Sooty suffered a 

stroke from the stress. 

The next morning, Mrs Ashby 

was told the treatment was 

not going well and made the 

decision to have Sooty put 

down. 

The operation cost about 

$3800. “You don’t mind paying 

for your loved animal when you 

get them back but when you’re 

left with nothing and not a little 

dog you love, it is very hard,” 

Mrs Ashby said. 

Mr Ashby said he had no 

problem with longline fishing 

devices but using them in an 

area where there are dogs and 

children is “just asking for 

trouble.” 

“We just don’t want it to 

happen to someone else so we 

need to make people aware 

if they are walking down the 

beach,” he said. 

An MPI spokeswoman said it 

will consider what occurred and 

whether any rule changes may 

be needed.

without much success. 

But Jack finally found a sport 

to play last year, when he went 

riding at the Kyle Park BMX 

track in Hornby, with his nineyear-old 

brother Dean. 

But proper equipment was expensive. 

After trying various organisations, 

the family received 

good news last month when they 

were granted the money. 

“It was incredible, I stood there 

and bawled my eyes out,” Mrs 

Harris-Clarke said. 

With the grant from Mazda 

Foundation, the family had 

enough savings (originally 

intended for Jack) to buy new 

equipment for his younger 

brother.

SCOOTER 

MAD: 

Shannon 

Smith says 

he would 

like to see a 

permanent 

pump track 

installed at 

the Shirley 

Community 

Reserve 

instead of a 

temporary 

one. 

Temporary pump track not 

good enough – Shirley pupil 


A SHIRLEY Primary School 

pupil says the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board’s push to 

install a temporary pump track 

is not the option he wants. 

Shannon Smith, 11, started a 

petition for a pump track at the 

Shirley Community Reserve but 

said he would have preferred a 

permanent track instead. 

Shannon said he has ridden 

on temporary tracks in the past 

and “it wasn’t smooth and wasn’t 

that nice to ride on.” 

He currently has to travel out 

of Shirley to find tracks where he 

can ride his scooter. 

Although he said a temporary 

track will be great while it lasts, 

once it is eventually moved, he 

and his friends will go back to 

having nowhere to ride nearby. 

“If it’s just temporary, we’d 

have to go back into town after 

it’s gone.” 

Shannon’s dad Tim Weir said 

he thought Shannon’s idea 

for a permanent track would 

mean kids in the area have fun 

and connect for many years to 

come. 

“It would be a place where 

they could enjoy hanging out 

positively and a good reason to 

get them outside.” 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board is currently 

seeking funding options for the 

installation of a temporary track 

by June next year. 


A CEMETERY which 

remembers the victims of the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

could get a name change. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

will ask the city council to 

consider adding the word 

‘memorial’ to Avonhead Park 

Cemetery’s name. 

Friends of Avonhead Cemetery 

chairman Clive Paris was pleased 

with the community board’s 

decision. 

The cemetery is home to an 

interment site opened on the first 

anniversary of the quake. 

Fifty-eight victims are 

memorialised at Avonhead Park 

Cemetery, the city council said. 

The group has been 

campaigning to change the name 

to reflect the interment site’s 

significance for 18 months. 

“It’s a step forward, sanity 

prevails, and it’s also the wishes 

of families of the deceased 

who are buried there from the 

[February 22], 2011, earthquake,” 

he said. 

“We’ve got a $300,000 

[interment] there, and referred to 

Local 


Now 


Cemetery name 

change likely 

as a memorial by former Mayor 

Bob Parker,” Mr Paris said. 

Friends of Avonhead Cemetery 

will continue to urge city 

councillors to change the name. 

Community board chairman 

Sam MacDonald said the board 

was against the recommendation 

from city council staff, which was 

to keep the existing name. 

“Community boards are there 

to represent the community. This 

council is commonly criticised for 

not being prepared to listen to the 

community,” Mr MacDonald said. 

He expects the city council 

to consider the board’s 

recommendation in February. 

If that recommendation is 

accepted, the city council will 

start public consultation to 

change the name. 

Board member Aaron 

Campbell disagreed with Friends 

of Avonhead Cemetery on the 

“sensitive” subject of changing 

the name. Mr Campbell was 

the only board member to vote 

against changing the name. 

“Particularly around the 

Avonhead Park cemetery, 

any changes that have been 

made have been extremely 

contentious,” he said.

Pressure on to save city’s water 

PRECIOUS: Limit the time you 

operate your garden hose. 

THE CITY council is taking a mythbusting 

approach to remind residents 

about the need to save water this 

summer. 

It has put out a series of fact-based 

articles via its website and Facebook 

page in an effort to correct common 

misunderstandings about 

water use in Christchurch. 

Water supply programme 

manager Helen Beaumont 

says it’s important people get 

the facts so they understand 

the importance of saving 

water this summer. 

“We’ve had a lot people 

effectively calling us out for 

asking them to save water 

when water bottling plants are taking 

it out of the ground every day. But 

there are two problems with that. 

Firstly, the city council doesn’t decide 

who can or can’t take groundwater, 

Environment Canterbury does, while 

taking environmental factors into 

account. And secondly, the water 

taken by water bottling plants doesn’t 

actually affect our public water 

supply – they’re separate issues.” 

Ms Beaumont says another 

common misunderstanding is 

around the need to conserve water 

this summer. 

“It’s not that we’re running out 

of water. The problem is we need to 

take some water wells out of service 

so we can upgrade them and stop 

Helen 

Beaumont 

chlorinating as fast as possible. If we 

keep using too much water, we have 

to use more wells to cope, and then 

we can’t work on them. It’s really that 

simple,” she says. 

A wet start to summer in 

Christchurch has seen the city 

council’s online water dial 

spend a number of consecutive 

days in the “green zone”, 

which is where the city council 

wants to see it stay as the city 

moves into the warmest part 

of the year. 

Ms Beaumont says the 

rain means people generally 

don’t feel the need to turn 

on their garden sprinklers 

or irrigators, which are the biggest 

household water users. 

“Running a garden sprinkler or 

irrigator for an hour can use up to 

1500 litres – or 150 buckets – of 

water. That’s a huge amount when 

you consider we’re targeting an 

average daily use of 212 litres per 

person this summer. We’re asking 

people to use hand-held hoses to 

water – during early morning or late 

evening – because you can direct 

exactly where the water goes and 

avoid wasting it.”

available on the city council’s 

website at ccc.govt.nz/watersaving-tips

SUPPORT: 

Sebastien 

Lallemant, Meg 

Shatford, Mesiah 

Auvae and 

Alex Hemens 

helped make 

the children’s 

Holiday camp a 

big success. 

“Life-changing” camp for 

children with special needs 

A CAMP for children with 

special needs has been described 

as “life-changing.” 

Christ’s College year 13 student 

Sebastien Lallemant, who lives 

in Merivale and helped run the 

camp, was one of 78 students 

from Christ’s and St Margaret’s 

colleges who made the event a 

huge success. 

Sebastien said the event 

had taken a lot of effort to run, 

but “it was all worth it in the 

end to see all of the kids facial 

expressions.” 

The children’s holiday camp 

was held at Christ’s from 

December 7-9 and welcomed 

14 young people with a diverse 

range of needs for a weekend of 

activities and fun. 

It was the first time the 

event had been held in New 

Zealand. 

The camp was extra special for 

the children who attended, as it 

was the first time many had ever 

spent a night away from their 

parents. 

It was significant for parents, 

too, some of whom had never 

had a break from the full-time 

caring duties that can come with 

raising kids with the most severe 

disabilities. 

St Margaret’s well-being coordinator 

Annie Wynne said 

it was “life-changing” for all of 

those involved. 

Ms Wynne said some 

volunteers had been brought to 

tears by the positive reactions of 

the kids at the camp. The holiday 

camp is now set to become an 

annual event in Christchurch. 

Maiyah gets a star 

THE GREATEST gift Maiyah 

Martin could receive for 

Christmas is to know people 

in need have the necessities to 

get by. 

With the help of her mum 

Donna and younger brother 

M.J, Maiyah, 8, has been doing 

her bit to fundraise for the City 

Mission by selling baking at 

food markets. 

Her services were recognised 

when she was presented with a 

star by the City Mission as part 

of its Walk of Stars pathway 

which runs along Oxford Tce. 

All of the proceeds from 

her baking have gone towards 

buying pamper packs full of 

toiletries to donate to the City 

Mission. 

Maiyah’s mission is 

documented on her Facebook 

page, Girl With Cake Projects, 

which has more than 300 

Facebook likes. 

The pathway displays the 

names of people who have 

made significant contributions 

to the City Mission’s cause. 

GENEROUS: Maiyah Martin 

in front of her star on the 

City Mission’s Walk of Stars.

Sandra Hastie.

City Mission 

needs food 

THE City Mission is in desperate 

need of food donations to make 

sure people don’t go hungry at 

Christmas. 

Demand for its food bank is up 

44 per cent, with people lining 

up for hours before it opens to get 

what they need. 

The City Mission expects to 

see a 25-30 per cent increase in 

demand for its services in the 

lead-up to Christmas Day. 

Food donations are also in short 

supply for its Christmas lunch, 

with city missioner Matthew 

Mark saying he expects this to 

be the City Mission’s “largest 

Christmas yet as they face a 

significant increase in the need 

among their community.” 

He said it needs canned food, 

toiletries, biscuits, tea and coffee. 

For the Christmas lunch, it 

needs Christmas cake, pavlova 

and mince pies. 

Celebrating success at Rangi Ruru 

SHOWTIME: Rangi Ruru’s kapa haka group performed at the 

prize-giving. 

WHAT’S NEXT? 

Year 13 student 

Isabella Carter

offers from 

three United 

States 

universities. 

THE AWARDS were rolled out 

at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s 

end of year prize-giving. 

The top students took 

centre stage at a ceremony on 

December 5, with a range of 

achievements being recognised. 

Year 13 student Valerie 

Xiang was named dux, 

finishing top of the class in 

music and chemistry, first equal 

in English, and gaining a high

About 50 students earned 

university scholarships, with 

eight receiving offers from 

overseas universities. 

Top scholarship honours went 

to Isabella Carter, who received 

offers to attend the University 

of California, the University of 

Southern California and the 

University of Virginia. 

Student achievement was also 

showcased on the night, with 

dancer Juliette Ward accepting 

a scholarship to study at the 

Next Step Performing Arts 

programme in Sydney. 

Principal Sandra Hastie 

said the award-winners showed 

“it is the norm to be the best 

you can be” at the school.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

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, anti-aging and healing 

properties. 

According to ethnobotanist Chris 

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low) 

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 nourishing 

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 

contains a unique blend of fatty 

acids that stimulate and supports 

the skins natural healing process through 

the growth of new healthy skin tissue. It is a 

remarkable product we highly recommend 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, 101 Seaview 

Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. 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, GREAT 

blemishes, scars & stretch marks

Collagen 

The Body’s Youth Protein 

Collagen is the primary 

protein in the body. It is a 

major component of skin, 

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, 

ligaments, joint cartilage, 

bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and 

blood vessels. 

In fact collagen is 

the primary structural 

component for all tissue in the 

body, providing the strength 

and resilience associated with 

youth, beauty and wellness. 

The body’s natural collagen 

production decreases with age resulting in 

many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin, 

wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and 

aching joints. Collagen supplementation 

is one of the most fundamental things a 

person can do to prevent premature aging 

and promote youthful vitality. 

NEOCELL are the industry leaders in 

research on collagen supplementation. 

Through advanced research they have 

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and 

effectively reduce its molecular weight this 

improving the absorption of collagen into 

the blood stream by over 90%. 

A clinical study on NEOCELL 

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to 

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%, 

with 92% of test subjects experiencing 

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking

wellness. The body’s natural collagen production decreases with age 

resulting in many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament & 

tendon injuries & aching joints. Collagen supplementation is one of the most 

fundamental things a person can do to prevent premature aging & promote 

youthful vitality. NEOCELL collagen has undergone advanced enzymatic

RESEARCHED FOR SUPERIOR RESULTS 

Bringing You the Best in Natural Health! 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing

Christmas 

Church 

Services 

Christmas is so much more 

than tinsel and trees 

There seems to be more and 

more to do at Christmas these 

days, from choosing between 

traditional or up-to-theminute 

decoration colour 

schemes through to worrying 

about having a ‘beach-ready 

body’ and buying presents, 

food and bubbles. 

With all the hype and pressure 

around the season, it’s easy 

to forget that Christmas is in 

fact a faith-based celebration 

of the birth of Jesus Christ 

and a time to come together

in worship. Churches across 

the city are recognising 

Christmas and what it means 

for Christians in a number of 

ways, often with music at the 

centre. 

Most churches offer Carol 

Services encouraging us all 

to raise our voices in the 

seasonal songs we remember 

from our childhood, as well as 

concerts, talks and recitals. 

It is a time when churches 

and faith-based organisations 

remind us of how fortunate 

Anglican 

we are and that it is possible 

to give gifts of hope that will 

make a true difference at 

this time of year. Christmas 

is, after all, about giving nor 

receiving. 

So why not take a moment 

away wrapping the expensive 

electronics to reflect on the 

true meaning of the season 

and call into your nearest
