360,000km – Ten now destined for the crusher
OUT WITH THE OLD: Christchurch North Community Patrol chairman Sam Hall says it is time for patrol car Ten to be replaced
after 360,000km patrolling the streets.

$7000 has been spent on keeping
it running.
The Honda CRV was once the
10th car in the fleet, hence the
name, but now, she has reached
the end of her life.
Said patrol chairman Sam
Hall: “She’s a bit noisy, she’s a
bit rattly, she’s safe, but we are
very careful about the bumps
we go over.”
It was decided the well-used
vehicle had to go when the patrol
could no longer patch
her up, and the bills got too
much.
The mechanic who has
been servicing the car for years
told Mr Hall it would cost a
couple of thousand dollars in
repairs to renew the warrant,
which is due at the end of the
month.
“He told me: I’ve done all I
can, but it won’t pass the next
warrant,” Mr Hall said.

‘ecstatic’
liquor store
application
withdrawn
• By Claire Booker
IT WAS a win for the Fendalton
community when the application
for a liquor store on Memorial
Ave was withdrawn.
A record-breaking 207 objections
were submitted to the city
council over the proposed bottle
shop on Memorial Ave.
Last week, the applicant
Manpreet Kaur, who also owns
Sockburn Bottle-O, withdrew
the application for an off-licence
consent for the store after an
independent adviser told her the
process would be a “waste of time
and money.”
Said Mrs Kaur: “We were
expecting objections, but not that
many. We respect the community,
if they do not want it, we don’t
want to annoy them.”
Mrs Kaur said at the end of the
day, it is just a business, and there
would be no hard feelings.
“If people don’t like it, it’s not a
good idea for us to go in there.
“I am happy people do look
after their community,” she said.
Fendalton resident and
neighbour of the proposed shop,
Isobel Anderson, was “absolutely
ecstatic” the application had been
withdrawn.

Big Showbiz shoes to fill
for Ilam’s Sarah Buchanan
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
“BIG SHOES to fill.”
That is how Ilam’s Sarah
Buchanan describes taking on
the role of Showbiz Christchurch
president following the
resignation of Markham Lee
about three weeks ago.
Having a strong association
with the company since 1989,
Mrs Buchanan said taking
on the role is an exciting new
change.
Mr Lee has served as president
of Showbiz on and off since 1990
with his association with Showbiz
beginning in 1973 at age 11
when he performed in Oliver!
But it isn’t the only major
change to the strong musical
theatre company – which has
been operating since 1938.
Paul Christ will take over as
general manager in January following
Michael Bayly finishing
in the role in mid-September.
Mr Bayly, who served as
general manager since May
2015, has gone onto become the
national on-premise manager at
Cassels Brewing Co.
Mr Christ has a wealth of
experience in musical theatre
having supervised, conducted
and directed productions for
Disney Theatrical Productions,
Cameron Mackintosh and Vienna
State Opera.
He said Showbiz offers the
perfect opportunity to draw on
his professional musical theatre
experience along with his work
in commercial
and not-forprofit
art sectors.
“I have
travelled extensively
for a
large part of my
Paul Christ
career . . . it was
time to come
home and reconnect with family
and put to use that industry
experience to the advantage of
the New Zealand performing
arts sector.”
Mrs Buchanan has a longstanding
relationship with
Showbiz having served as vicepresident
for the past five years
and been on the board since 2010.
She said her role as president
will be made easy due to having
a “marvellous” team and board
she has been able to delegate
tasks to take the pressure off.
BIG STEP: Sarah Buchanan will take over
the reins as the new president for Showbiz
Christchurch.
“We are really lucky we have
all these exciting shows coming
through from the West End
and we are able to stage them
here which is fantastic,” Mrs
Buchanan said.
In September, Showbiz announced
a dazzling season to be
staged at the Isaac Theatre Royal
next year starting off with My
Fair Lady from April 3.
In June, the music of Chess
will be staged in
concert with the
Christchurch Symphony
Orchestra.
The final show of
the year to be staged
will be Buddy – The
Buddy Holly Story
featuring the music
of American musician
and singersongwriter
Buddy
Holly.
Mrs Buchanan
said the talent in the
city is phenomenal
and Showbiz has
fantastic creatives
who know how to
put on a show.
She has led an
exciting career
both on and off the
stage including touring as a personal
dresser with English singer
Elaine Paige twice.
Although she has taken on a
major role at the company, Mrs
Buchanan’s days in the spotlight
are far from over.
She will play the Queen
of Transylvania and perform
in the ensemble as part of My
Fair Lady.
In Brief
SEWER RENEWALS
Renewal of the sewers and laterals
in Canon St between Barbadoes
and Geraldine Sts was set to begin
yesterday. A reduced speed limit
will be in place near the site,
and there may be restrictions to
property access. Work is expected
to be complete by December 24.
HILLS RD OPENING DELAY
The opening of Hills Rd near QE
II Drive will be further delayed
due to technical issues with the
machinery used to seal the road.
It was expected to open yesterday,
but now it is expected to open in
early December.
PADDLING POOLS OPEN
The paddling pools at Avebury
and Abberley Parks are now open.
Parents are reminded there are
no lifeguards at these pools, so
children must be supervised at
all times. Both pools will be open
until early March.
YOUTH GRANTS APPROVED
Seventeen young people and the
Canterbury University athletics
club received grants from the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board last week.
The board granted $3940 towards
sports trips, academic exchanges
and a Scout jamboree to be held
in Hamilton in December.

Fundraiser
for patrol car
• From page 1
The main issues with the vehicle
are rust, from years of being used
for off-road driving following the
earthquakes, and in floods.
“We will find an option that will
provide the most money to put
towards a new vehicle. Our options
are selling it as is where is, parts, or
sending it to the wreckers,” Mr Hall
said.
The patrol has nearly raised
enough to upgrade to a Suzuki Vitara
– the standard vehicle for community
patrols across the country
– but it has started a givealittle page
to raise the remaining $5000.
In recent years, radiator troubles
had caused the patrol to be called
off, and Mr Hall said they have
been getting more callouts from
police which they need to attend.
Mr Hall said a highlight of the
regular patrol meetings is hearing
the car is still running but said it
has just done its dash.
“We will be a little bit sad to see
it go, it will be the end of an era,
but it will mark the start of a new
era of looking out for the community.
It’s been a hard 360,000km,”
Mr Hall said.

Healthy trees to be chopped for drain renewal
• By Claire Booker
A DRAIN which has not been
maintained since the 1960s will
be renewed next year.
But it will mean about 100
healthy trees and shelterbelts
will get the chop.
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board voted on Friday to
approve the removal of the trees
along the Canal Reserve Drain
on Marshland Rd between
‘Clearly there was no, or little, support’
• From page 1
“I just didn’t think that [application
withdrawal] could ever
happen.
“It was so frightening someone
could come in and upset a whole
community. It’s just such a relief,”
she said.
Those who made submissions
against the liquor licence were
notified about the withdrawal by
the district licensing committee
on Wednesday last week.
Fendalton resident Ashley
Seaford said the result was good
news for the community and its
young people.
“From the number of submissions
clearly there was no, or
little, support for this business in
our neighbourhood,” he said.
Prior to the application being
withdrawn, the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community
Board requested the right to voice
its opposition to the planned
bottle shop at a district licensing
committee hearing.
City councillor and board
member James Gough said it was
clear the community was fundamentally
opposed to the liquor
store and said the site appeared
to be “a completely inappropriate
place for a liquor outlet.”
“This is a superb outcome, but
I think the outcome was always
going to be the same. I think
[the applicants] made a good
decision,” Cr Gough said.
Mairehau and Hawkins Rds.
City councillor and board
member Pauline Cotter said
council staff worked closely
with the community regarding
the tree removal.
Said Cr Cotter: “Nobody
wants to cut down healthy trees
unless we have to. It’s for the
greater benefit.”
About 600m south of the
Hawkins Styx river intersection
is a spawning habitat for
Lamprey, a type of jawless fish
similar to eels.
The city council will work
with NIWA, the Department of
Conservation, and local ecologists
to decide the best way to
renew the drain in this area.
The drain is to be renewed to
reduce the potential flood risk
and associated damage with the
road.
NOR’WEST NEWS
Work is set to begin early next
year and run until 2021.
Tree removals include two
native totara trees, weeping
willows, silver birch, cypress,
cherry plum trees and magnolia,
among others.
Once the renewal is complete,
the waterway will be landscaped
with riparian planting,
including native shrubs and
larger growing native and exotic
trees where space allows.
RELIEVED: Isobel Anderson delivered thousands of flyers
alerting her neighbours of the proposed liquor store on
Memorial Ave, last week the application was withdrawn.

Two-storey health centre
approved for Memorial Ave
• By Claire Booker
A NEW health centre in Ilam
has been given the green light.
Resource consent has been
granted for the new two-storey
health centre on Memorial Ave.
Doctors, physiotherapy, podiatry,
mental health services, a
pharmacy and gift shop are earmarked
for the complex which
will be called Ilam Health.
The new centre will be 1267 sq
m in total on two levels, with 46
car parking spaces and nine cycle
parking spaces.
It is predicted the centre will
generate more than 940 vehicles
movements per day at the site on
Memorial Ave near Ilam Rd.
Ilam Health will be open 7am-
9pm seven days a week, and may
request additional consent to be
open for a 24-hour surgery in the
future.
The medical centre will increase
from nine clinical spaces
to 16, meaning there will be six
doctors on hand.
Pegasus Health has endorsed
the clinic on the basis that population
growth in the north of the
city has put pressure on many
practices, meaning they are no
longer taking new patients.
BRAND NEW: A concept drawing of the new Ilam Health centre, which will consolidate multiple
health services on Memorial Ave.
“This includes Ilam Medical
Centre and has resulted in patients
having to travel further for
health care. The expansion of Ilam
Medical Centre to larger rooms
as part of Ilam Health will aid in
alleviating this issue,” a Pegasus
Health spokeswoman said.
Neighbouring residents raised
some concerns over the size of
the proposal, causing adverse effects
on the residential character
of the area, but hearings panel
commissioner Justine Ashley
disagreed.
“While the proposal is substantial,
it is able to be absorbed
into the mixed character of the
receiving environment, which retaining
a high-quality residential
amenity,” the commissioner’s
report said.
Pegasus health said its goal for
the future is that primary health
care services are moving in the
direction of more integration,
bringing together a number of
services within one complex.
It is expected construction will
begin on Ilam Health next year.
Council
responds to
mall review
• By Claire Booker
THE CITY council has made a
response to the judicial review
over the proposed expansion of
Merivale Mall.
Merivale residents were shocked
and angry the resource consent
had been granted without any
form of public consultation, and
described the process as “rushed
and not needed.”
Mall owners have been granted
consent to increase the size of the
mall by 87 per cent, and build a
three-level car park and 24 twostorey
homes in the area.
But a group of residents decided
to challenge the process which
granted the non-notified consent
in a bid to get the consent revoked.
Last week, the city council issued
its response to the judicial
review in the district court.
The hearings panel, which
granted the resource consent for
the mall expansion found there
would be no adverse effects on the
community, and the expansion
would have “negligible” impact on
Papanui Rd traffic volumes.
City council head of resource
consents John Higgins said the
panel appreciated the public
concerns but was bound by the
statutory process under the
Resource Management Act.

Tough kids get wet and muddy
MORE THAN 5000 primary and
intermediate school pupils took
on mud pits, obstacles and tyre
runs as part of the annual MASH
Tough Kid challenge held in
South New Brighton last week.
The event first started following
earthquakes to encourage sports
participation and boost morale,
now it also helps reduce screen
time and improve mental health.
Schools from across Canterbury
got involved, with some
coming from as far as Hanmer
Springs and Windwhistle.
The 2.7km course included
waterslides, mud pits, inflatable
obstacles and tyre runs. It ran
through the forest and followed
the estuary, finishing in the South
new Brighton Domain.
Said event co-ordinator, Isaac
Sutherland: “It has been so exciting
to see the number of schools
getting involved with this event.
We have schools that have been

wet and muddy. The smiles on
their faces speak for themselves.”
Readers respond to the
November 12 article in
the Nor’West News about
increased police presence
in Bishopdale
Rosalie Griffith – I am
delighted to hear that there is
supposed to be a reduction of
crime in Bishopdale, but the
truth of the matter is that it
doesn’t seem to be happening.
Over last weekend alone there
were car and house windows
targeted with eggs, and two
homes had windows broken by
thrown stones in Cotswold Ave
and Harewood Rd.
A silver sedan was seen racing
away from one area and we heard
of one car being stolen recently
from Harewood Rd. The egging
activities are happening between
9 to 10pm Wednesday to Sunday
and the stones were thrown,
breaking windows on Sunday
night.
We are aware that the police
cannot be everywhere, so
everyone travelling after dark
in Bishopdale please keep an
eye open and help the police to
apprehend these unkind and
cruel bullies.
Sandra Ann Dougall –
Further to your article regarding
rocks being thrown through
windows in the Bishopdale area,
on Sunday night, November 10,
I had a rock thrown through
my lounge window, I live on
Highsted Rd.
The glazier who replaced the
window said that day he had
also attended to the same thing
happening in Cotswold Ave and
Sawyers Arms Rd.

School raises funds for charity
supporting children of prisoners
NOR’WEST NEWS
Well-earned
ethics win for
St Margaret’s
• By Claire Booker
THREE ST ANDREW’S College
students have raised more
than $1250 for an organisation
that supports the children of
prisoners.
Year 11 middle school leaders
Isabella Galvan, Jack Calder
and Oscar Bloom organised a
mufti day last term for Pillars,
an organisation started by Verna
McFelin who was left to look after
her four children alone when
her husband was sentenced to 11
years in prison.
Pillars is supported by several
schools each year, and Mrs
McFelin said the organisation
does not have the resources to
travel around schools to promote
the work they do, because the
money they have goes directly
to supporting the children who
need it.
Said Mrs McFelin of the donation:
“This will have a major
effect. It will ensure that mentors
and children are supported
where it is most needed.”
Oscar said the trio worked
hard to make sure the cause was
well-known around the secondary
school.
HELPING OUT: Year 11 St Andrew’s College pupils Isabella
Galvan (left), year 11 dean Liz Gormack, Jack Calder and Oscar
Bloom raised more than $1250 for Pillars, which supports
children of prisoners.
“We wanted people to know
what they were fundraising for
and be able to buy into the amazing
work Pillars does. By the end
of the mufti day, we felt people
all around the school knew about
Pillars and that was probably
what made it such a success.
“The work [Pillars] does is so
incredible and makes a profound
difference to the families in its
care. We wanted to fundraise
for a charity that was based
in Christchurch and did stuff
that helped
improve the
livelihoods
of people
our own age
as we felt
teenagers are
sometimes
overlooked,”
Oscar said.
The pupils Verna McFelin
met with
Michelle Mathijssen, who is
the project manager based in
Christchurch for Pillars, and Oscar
said it was great to sit down
and learn more about the work
Pillars does.
“We felt that we learnt more
about people less fortunate than
ourselves who deserve dignity,
respect and opportunity,” he said.
There are 23,000 children in
New Zealand at the moment
who have parents in prison, Mrs
McFelin said those children are
9.5 times more likely to end up in
prison without good support.
“We are very grateful and
thankful that the young people
and staff at St Andrew’s College
recognise Pillars services as a
vital community need,” Mrs
McFelin said.

A GROUP of St Margaret’s
College Year 9 students took
home gold medals from
Christchurch’s Middle School
Ethics Olympiad competition.
And it was only the first year
the competition has been held
in New Zealand, with previous
ones being in Australia.
The group of five students
beat Hillmorton High School
in a close finish, answering
questions on subjects including
lying, donations, tracking apps,
relationships, dog ownership, the
environment and charities.
Said Hannah Wylie: “Preparing
for the competition was slightly
tricky because we didn’t know
which one of three questions they
would ask for each case.”
The students practised every
Monday and Tuesday in their
lunch hour for more than a
month prior to the competition
and went over questions in their
term 3 school holidays.
Hannah said the students look
forward to competing in the senior
competition next year.
“It has been such a great
experience competing and
preparing for these events.”

Criterium title claimed
SPORT
NOR’WEST NEWS
by Pithie of CBHS
CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High
School’s Laurence Pithie claimed
his first elite national title by
claiming the criterium title in a
sprint finish in Christchurch.
Pithie was part of a six-strong
break on the 1.1km course
around Cashel St and Oxford
Terrace, that featured his
Canterbury teammate Andrew
Bidwell, Marlborough’s Ethan
Batt, Manawatu’s Joel Yates,
Dutchman Antonie van Noppen
and Vantage New Zealand track
squad rider, Josh Scott.
They pushed clear after a crash
split the 41-strong field.
The chasing group worked hard
to close to just 7sec behind in the
race over the following 40min but
eventually ran out of time.
Bidwell and Pithie had worked
hard in the middle stages of the
race but it was Batt who made the
break in the home straight, only
to be out-kicked by Pithie, who
adds a national champion jersey
to his two rainbow jerseys won
on the track.
“It was awesome to bring it
home in front of a home crowd,”
he said.
“I am really stoked with it.
“I have to thank Andrew Bidwell.
If it wasn’t for him, I would
not have had the energy at the
end. He towed me around all day.
It was great teamwork.”
In spite of leading for four laps
and setting the pace, Pithie was
pleased with his tactics.
“I played it pretty cagey,” he
said.
“I knew there were such strong
guys like Ethan Batt and Joel
Yates who have raced overseas

and done all the criterium circuits.
I knew I had to follow and
stay with them.
“Ethan went for it in the sprint
and I managed to go with him
and hold his wheel. It was the
perfect leadout and I managed to
kick around him in the end.
“It has certainly been a year to
remember.”
Medbury earns
national cricket title
THE MEDBURY 1st XI cricket
team won this year’s national
primary school tournament on
Wednesday.
The twenty20 round-robin
tournament was held at Lincoln
University at the New Zealand
Cricket High Performance Centre,
and at the Lincoln Domain.
Medbury competed against
teams from Auckland, Northern
Districts, Central Districts,
Wellington and Otago.
They finished the competition
with three wins, one loss and
one abandoned game with their
superior run-rate seeing them
win the competition over Havelock
North’s Hereworth School
and Auckland’s King’s School
who both had the same record.
Coach John Ogston said his
team applied themselves well

under the scrutiny of the tournament,
“It was a pleasure for all
involved in the Lincoln-based
tournament to be able to use
the impressive facilities New
Zealand Cricket has to offer.
“The standard of cricket was
extremely competitive with
the six teams involved having
qualified from the their respective
district.
What pleased me most was
seeing our boys respond under
pressure and the support they
gave their team mates in tightly
fought contests.”
Headmaster, Ian Macpherson
is delighted for the boys who
clearly applied the Medbury
values of perseverance, loyalty
and respect for the opposition
throughout the tournament.

Shops bursting with
festive gift ideas
The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the
Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.
Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as
well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at
our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops
are bursting with festive merchandise.
Every woman likes to receive body pampering
gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced
to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift
shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite
and again there is a wide selection to choose from,
ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known
fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,
jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor
items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on
the list.
The men are equally well catered for, from the
sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy
Go Karting at Christchurch’s
Premier Indoor Track
brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener
husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,
tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a
smile on their face on Christmas morning.
Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy
than seeing the excitement of the children opening
their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa
or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly
toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy
canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling
the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from
the smallest family members.
The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas
about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards
offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way
to please.

Open Day
november 30th 2019
FINALLY, our “new build” is complete and we’d love to personally
show you all around on our OPEN DAY, which is fast approaching.
We are very proud of what we have achieved,
something that hasn’t been seen in small
animal practice before - completely separate
cat and dog reception, consulting, surgical
and ICU treatment areas.
This new edition has been seven years in
the making - a lot of time and energy has
been dedicated to this project as well as
decisions to be made on a daily basis. We
bought the old house next to the clinic in
2012 anticipating we would expand one day.
It was so exciting to finally see foundations
being laid.
grow it, but we have. We now we have a
staff of 27, a team of eight veterinarians with
different skill sets and interests - something
we are very proud of and have tried hard to
achieve. We want our clients to have all their
needs met, and those of their precious pets,
all under one roof.
Old house converted to new extension.
Demolition time.
To go back 20 years ….. In 1999 we took over
the reins of Rozens Vet Clinic ( which was an
old house situated in our carpark). We have
very fond memories of our early days there
and we were a small yet enthusiastic staff
of six back then. Our small garage doubled
as a cattery, our carpark was flooded most
of winter and inhabited by Mallards, X-rays
were manually developed in the toilet and
often we were so busy cages were stacked
on top of each other in the surgical area.
Our young sons, Connor and Dylan, often
watched their mum and dad perform
surgeries, cuddling and playing with kittens
in the small staffroom. They were good times
and we got to know some terrific, animal
mad clients, who are still with us 20 years on.
The Practice we work out of now was built
in 2008 and never thought we would out
Smartflow patient monitoring.
Cat ICU and treatment area.
Aside from the separate cat wing, our new
280 square metre addition will feature
space for rehabilitation and physiotherapy,
a state off the art theatre and surgical wing
for referral surgeries, a double dental room,
another feline ward, large ultrasonography
room and extra kennelling for about 20 dogs
plus storage galore.
We are very proud to now be able to offer
Referral Surgery at McMaster & Heap Vets. Dr
Helen Milner has now joined the team who
is an Australian and New Zealand Registered
Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. She will
be able to offer a wide array of soft tissue,
orthopaedic and neurological surgeries.

We are also very fortunate to have the
services of Dr Richard Lucy who does
all the Echocardiography, Endoscopy
and Abdominal and Musculoskeletal
Ultrasonography in the Practice. Richard
has also put pacemakers in dogs, performs
our spinal taps and can also interpret MRI’s
and CT scans. He’s consulted a lot by us all.
Richard and Helens ethics, empathy, genuine
love of all animals, professional style and
incredibly high skill level fits with our aim of
becoming a “Centre of Excellence”.
Our other vets are also skilled up in areas
of interest and passion to them - Steve
with Ophthalmology, Dentistry and
Reconstructive Surgery, Sara enjoying
Dermatology and Exotics, Olivia a whiz at
all tricky Dentistry, Kirsty is very competent
in Soft Tissue Surgery, Chemotherapy and
Transfusion Medicine and Catherine is a
fantastic Medicine and Intensive Care expert
as well as performing Ultrasounds whenever
Richard is away. Me, I’m a jack of all trades,
doing a little of everything but my passion
lies with consulting and meeting new pets
and people, radiography and surgery.
Michele and steve in the cattery.
In the past 20 years we have learnt heaps
about running a successful business and
working together as a team. One of our goals
is to lead by example and empower our staff
to be their best, enjoy what they are good
at and love coming to work for us every day.
The right people, with the right set of skills
and attitude, are the key to our success.
The NZL Veterinary industry is rapidly
changing with many Practices being bought
by Corporate Entities and amalgamating with
practices. The need to keep up, diversify,
provide flexibility and options for people
and find your niche area is our future aim.
We will never stand still and be complacent.
We will listen to our clients and staff and see
what they want from us going forward in the
future.
Cat clinic entrance.
Theatre preparation & surgical scrub area.
We have also moved fast with regards to
technology. I’m not really a starter for change
but Steve persisted and eventually had me
sold on our new veterinary software system,
EzyVet and our new patient monitoring and
billing system, Smartflow. We are virtually
paperless and you’ll see our nurses walking
around with iPads updating flowsheets and
monitoring anaesthetics. Now I couldn’t
go back. This system is so accurate, very
professional and way more efficient.
I hope McMaster & Heap will stand the test
of time, cementing itself in Christchurch, as a
hospital who pride themselves on excellence,
expertise, quality patient care and full
commitment to our people and their pets.
We would love to see you on Saturday
30th November between 12-3pm for a look
around at where your special furries stay
when they are with us and enjoy a coffee,
sausage sizzle and get advice or just enjoy
a chat from our super staff and industry
representatives who will be present on the
day also. There will also be cat and dog
goodie bags, raffles and discount vouchers
on some foods.
Hope to see you real soon.

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree
Serviced apartments,
the best of both worlds
Discover how Summerset living allows
Alma to stay active and thrive

“ Since Mum’s been here,
she’s just blossomed”
From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had
plenty of company throughout her whole life.
So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter
Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move,
they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet.
“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always
something going on,” remarks Alma.
When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he
passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to
deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly
she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree.
Alma with Maree as a toddler
While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and
has become more herself again.
“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising.
She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.”
Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it
needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming
and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.”
Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of
working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom
at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little
outings. It’s a lovely place to be.”
Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger.
“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree.
“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a
place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”
