Stapletons Rd resident
Rick Blackburn whose house

“I am absolutely against it.
This is right in the middle

Blackburn.

Residents
still angry
over
motorway
concerns
• By Bea Gooding
RESIDENTS AFFECTED by
major roadworks in northern
Christchurch are worried for their
safety in anticipation of increased
traffic in the area.
The extension of the Northern
Motorway feeds into the St Albans
area, with the project delivered in
three distinct stages – the Northern
Arterial extension, Cranford St
upgrade and the controversial
Downstream Effects Management
Plan.
The Christchurch Northern Corridor
Alliance’s $240m motorway is
expected to be completed next year.
But in spite of the project nearing
completion, the St Albans community
still demand solutions to their
concerns.
The project aims to improve
safety, reduce congestion and lower
travel times – but the St Albans
community continues to disagree.
Said St Albans resident Mark
Wilson, who spoke to Nor’West
News on behalf of the community:
“Do we just accept our fate, or
continue to push for the community
over commuting traffic?”

New World Fendalton
emerges transformed
AFTER AN 18-month
refurbishment, New World
Fendalton has emerged
transformed with the
completion of the supermarket’s
extensive revamp.
The upgrade has seen a
complete re-design of the building,
with the supermarket’s
size increasing by 500 sq m.
The number of checkouts has
boosted along with an expanded
range of products on offer.
Brothers James and Richard
Turner are continuing their
family legacy as third-generation
owners and operators of New
World Fendalton.
Said James: “It really has been
a team effort, and to see our
community enjoy the refurbished
store has been incredibly
rewarding. It brings together the
hard work of so many people.”
Other new features include an
ecostore refillery and the installation
of a new butchery counter.
In addition, energy-saving
refrigeration and a daylight
harvesting system to reduce
electricity use has been installed
in a bid to reduce the store’s

carbon footprint.
New World Fendalton has a
strong family history. The brothers’
great grandfather Walter
Turner immigrated to Christchurch
when he was just 14-yearsold
and secured a job in a local
grocery store, and eventually
owned the store in 1936.
Walter’s son, Jim, affectionately
known as ‘Gentleman Jim,’ took
over the store in 1961 and had
owned it up until his death in
2016. Originally part of Fendalton
Mall, the Memorial Ave store
had been owned by the Turner
family since its opening and up
until 1970, it was named Turners
Grocers.
Richard believed their greatgrandfather
Walter and grandfather
Jim would be proud of
the supermarket’s evolution and
continuation of its characteristic
family business charm.
Said Richard: “Supermarkets
have changed a lot since the
business opened back in the
1930s. I think changes we have
made will ensure we continue
to provide a top-class shopping
experience for decades to come,
just like our grandfathers did
before us.”
James and Richard are
carrying on the family legacy,
continuing to be a mainstay
of New Zealand’s grocery
collective, but also an
integral cornerstone of the
local western Christchurch
community.
In Brief
MCLEANS ISLAND SAFETY
Safety concerns on Pound
Rd and Mcleans Island Rd
were raised by workers in the
area at the latest Waimāero/
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board meeting.
The speed limit was reduced to
80km/h, but large numbers of
heavy vehicles passing by still
posed risks.
LANGDONS RD TRAFFIC
Langdons Rd residents have
been informed of possible
solutions regarding safety
concerns when entering or
exiting properties due to the new
Northlink shopping complex.
The Waipapa/Papanui-Innes
Community Board advised that
white lines will be re-installed
near driveways and the city
council will regularly monitor
the situation going forward.
GRANTS APPROVED
A $500 grant has been approved
for Kayleigh Anne Wheeler as
she heads to the 2020 World
Irish Dance Championships in
Dublin, Ireland this April. A
group of Papanui High School
students will also receive a
grant of $1800 for attending

Community split in two: Where to from here?
Mark Wilson
writes about
how the
Christchurch
Northern
Corridor
motorway
will
adversely
affect the St Albans
community
THE DOWNSTREAM effects
on St Albans from the new
Northern motorway coming
along Cranford Street will be
considerable and permanent.
The project has been delivered
in three distinct stages – not as
an overall package of work:
1. Northern Arterial Extension
(NArT)
2. Cranford St Upgrade (CSU)
3. Downstream Effects Management
Plan (DEMP).
The NArT and CSU required
resource consent and were subject
to local, regional and central
government laws and regulations.
However the city council
and the New Zealand Transport
Agency (NZTA) decided the
DEMP – the direct impacts on
the community – did not warrant
the same level of scrutiny.
The motorway traffic would
use the existing Cranford St corridor
from Innes Rd south. This
meant no requirement by the city
council to purchase property, no
resource consents, and a ‘sweat
the asset’ attitude.
Only through community
pressure was an additional clause
added ‘for a period of 10 years
after opening’, the city council
must monitor the downstream
effects of traffic from the NArT
on residential areas, not arterial
roads. Mitigation is required if
an increase of 30 per cent traffic
attributable to the NArT occurs.
The plan lacks any restriction
on the amount of traffic allowed
to travel along St Albans’ arterial
roads. Consequently there is an
expectation of an almost 100 per
cent increase in traffic volumes
within five years of the NArT
opening.
Mitigation for residential areas
has focused on keeping traffic on
arterials and deterring rat runners
commuting through local
streets with various measures.
These include turning restrictions,
speed restrictions, and
traffic ‘calming.’
These restrictions also impact
residents trying to access or exit
their local streets. But mitigation
doesn’t address the cause of the
problem, by definition it merely
looks at limiting damage.

GEOFF
SLOAN
The community wants a
traffic demand management
solution to the NArT problem,
such as public transport and
high occupancy vehicle priority
measures to reduce single
occupancy traffic. This TDM
stance has won some concessions
from the city council who will
dedicate any additional lanes
on Cranford St to HOV and PT
only, leaving one northbound
and one southbound lane
unrestricted on St Albans’
arterials.
Another win was making Environment
Canterbury and the
Waimakariri District Council
bring forward and expand the
express bus service utilising
the NArT route, with park and
ride facilities at Rangiora and
Kaiapoi.
Outcomes from the most
recent meeting were: there is still
much the community can fight
for and influence, even though
contractors are now digging up
roads and large scale city council
engagements are over.
Public transport must improve,
we want one authority in
charge. Public transport must be
run as a service not an out-dated
business model.
We are motivated and will be
making noise.
Entering and exiting
properties will be dangerous, and
the ability to access residential
streets is severely compromised
with multiple blocks needing to
be travelled to get home.
Pedestrian and cyclist safety
has also been compromised with
the focus on getting as many
cars to flow down the corridors,
essentially Cranford St has been
given to the cars.
We don’t accept that, and will
continue to fight it.

Attitudes and Lattitudes
“As an American down under for more than 37 years, I realise I have
become addicted to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously
changing landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna,
landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of images, never
static.”
“My painting process usually begins with a single object. Following
several preparatory sketches. I then start the process of adding other
images, as well as fabricated bits and pieces. It is the unforgiving
aspect of watercolour painting and the flexibility of moving three
dimensional components around on the surface that excites me.
Using a combination of fabricated tromp l’oeil paper objects and
the underlying painted surface, I hope to create work that is both
completely familiar and yet new again. Like life itself, each work
resonates with both the story and history associated with some objects,
and the imagined potential of others.”
This exhibition is John’s fourth at Little River Gallery. His passions in
life clearly drive the content of his art. Fishing, observing birds and
weather, nostalgic collections, conservation, typography and word
play are skillfully rendered and arranged with the designer’s eye. It is
difficult to appreciate the three dimensionality of John’s work without
the work before you. We love the appreciative sounds coming from
the gallery as the observer realises the extra dimension and life like
qualities John manages to achieve with paper.

Mural brightens Bishopdale
LOCAL SCHOOLS and street
artists have banded together to
create an interactive mural; a
pop of colour aimed to brighten
Bishopdale.
The selfie-friendly mural, created
by street artist Jake Clark,
featured a kereru, kea, bees and
sunflowers, complemented by a
sky and mountain scene that can
be found at the Bishopdale Village
Green.
Mr Clark, who has worked
on multiple city projects, drew
inspiration from flora and fauna
in the area.
“I wanted to create something
to reflect the surrounding area.
I used the narrative of the mural
to place native birds in the sky
scene,” said Mr Clark.
“An element from the brief
was to include a pair of wings
for photo opportunities so that
people can get a selfie with the
wings behind them.”
Mr Clarke believed that areas
like the Village Green were essential
to the regeneration of
Christchurch and the local community.
“It has been great to add to the
open space and collaborate with
the community to deliver something
we can be really proud of,”
he says.
Several special art panels will
also adorn the wall in the next

now completed.
Inspired by the theme of
“windows over Bishopdale,”
students from Isleworth School,
Emmanuel Christian School,
Breens Intermediate, Casebrook
Intermediate and Papanui High
School have created the five
panels.
Said Mr Clark: “The positive
feedback and the impressive artwork
from our local schools has
been a highlight for me.”
“I hope that people get a lift from
the artworks and can take some
pride in this great little area.”
The new work – on a local
business wall – contributed to a
regeneration programme for the
central area, including the development

UPROAR: Temporary units
at Linwood Village will be
moved to Guild St for social
housing if the city council
approves the plans.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
•From page 1
“The site is not suited in any
way, shape or form for this
development. I recognise that
social housing is a need, but a
much better place for this would
be the old Shirley Boys’ High
School site.”
The SBHS site on North Pde
is flat and closer to amenities
such as The Palms. The Guild St
site is not flat and leads to the removal
of a 50-year-old heritage
tree, limited on-street parking,
more congestion and only has
one access point, he said.
Fifteen temporary units were
purchased by the Christchurch
Methodist Mission from its
previous owners, the Ōtautahi
Community Housing Trust.
Last week, a community
information evening was led by
the CMM outlining their intentions
for the units. The mission’s
executive director Jill Hawkey
said prospective tenants were
for families who had severe and
persistent housing needs according
to the Ministry of Social
Development.
Said Mrs Hawkey: “CMM will
comply with stipulated conditions
of consent and all relevant
building procedures, requirements
and standards.”
The passionate crowd of 60
people were not convinced.
Although they supported housing
the homeless, their main
concerns were the dwellings
would not comply with the city
council’s regulations on character
areas, and were outraged at
the lack of consultation.
Other concerns included rubbish
management and the unit’s
size and proximity of each other.
Earthworks required to install
the units do not comply with the
council’s district plan according
to neighbouring residents.
Said a city council spokesperson:
“The application is going
through a process to decide
whether it requires public
notification and if it should be
granted.
“The application will be decided
by a hearings panel, which will
carry out deliberations in a public
meeting.”

Waipapa/
Papanui-
Innes
Community
Board
deputy
chair Simon
Britten
writes
about the
concerns raised over the
new Northlink shopping
complex.
KMART’S NEW Papanui store
in Langdons Rd will open next
month. Development at the site is
bringing new shops to Papanui,
but also safety concerns.
As curator of Think Papanui
I’ve been taking an interest in
issues around Langdons Rd for
a while. I have seen a positive
reaction to the Northlink development,
especially the pending
arrival of Kmart. On the other
hand I have also heard consistent
questions and concerns about
traffic, safety, parking, and access.
Construction activity has
generated a lot of heavy vehicle
movements, and until recently
many trades vehicles were
parked on the road outside.
Heavy construction traffic will
ease as work is completed, and
it is good to see construction
vehicles now using off-street
parking, but we will see more
delivery trucks accessing the site
as well as customers. The road
BUSY: Langdons Rd residents have raised concerns about safe access to their street.

is also increasingly used for allday
parking by people working
nearby, as well as Papanui High
School students.
With visibility restricted by
so many cars parked along the
increasingly busy road, residents
have more difficulty exiting their
properties, and it’s harder for
traffic to safely navigate intersections
with side streets such as
Sails and Chapel Sts. A bouquet
to Mitre 10 for their new fence at
Chapel St, which improves sight
lines as well as nicely matching
the old Sanitarium fence on their
main frontage.
I have seen a number of people
wondering what might be done
to improve the already-busy
intersection of Langdons and
Greers Rds where turning right
in and out can be a challenge.
Good news – I read in the
resource consent that the
Northlink Centre cannot fully
open “until there is a contract
let for an intersection upgrade
to traffic lights” at Langdons/
Greers. However, this condition
restricts a future third stage at
the rear of the development – the
intersection will remain as-is
when Kmart opens. I am also not
aware of any city council budget
tagged for the intersection, nor
any obligation on the developer
to stump up cash.
What to do? The Waipapa/
Papanui-Innes Community
Board has already identified our
traffic network and community
road safety amongst priority
areas to focus on in our draft
three-year plan.
Consultation on the plan
closed yesterday and I look forward
to working with my board
colleagues to reviewing public
input, finalising the plan, and
then implementing it through
this term.
I am grateful to residents who
have taken the time to contact
the board with concerns – please
remember that anyone can raise
issues with the board in writing,
and you are also most welcome
to attend a board meeting and
speak in the public forum.
Please let us know your
thoughts, contact details can be
found on the city council website
and at the Papanui Service
Centre.

Debate rages over
safety of birds
• By Matt Slaughter
THE CHRISTCHURCH 360
Trail group says birdlife will not
be harmed if a pathway is built
along the western edge of the
Avon-Heathcote Ihutai Estuary.
This is based on the final draft
of a Boffa Miskell report commissioned
by the city council
that says: “Actual levels of
disturbance to birds as a result
of the pathway constitute very
low, low or moderate ecological
magnitudes of effect.
“Opportunities to avoid and
minimise these effects are available.”

is 135km so far and includes
walking tracks around the city’s
radius. The section beside the
estuary is one of the last needed
to complete the trail.
Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman
Judith Millar, who lives
in St Albans, said the pathway
proposal includes measures
which will protect birds from
threats such as pedestrians,
cyclists and dogs.
However, Avon Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust chairman
Kit Doudney said the trust “absolutely
refute that.”
The trust and Redcliffs
Residents Association are
concerned building the pathway
in the proposed area beside the
Bromley Oxidation Ponds will
put godwits and about 100 other
bird species which use the estuary
in jeopardy.
Mr Doudney believes the
pathway proposal goes against
the estuary’s status as part of the
East Asian-Australasian Flyway,
which is supposed to protect
birds that use it.
He wants the pathway built
further away from the estuary
and the city council is investigating
this option.
But Mrs Millar said the
current proposal includes
PROTECTION: Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman Judith Millar
says science shows birdlife will be safe if a pathway is built
beside the Bromley oxidation ponds. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
measures to stop birds from
being harmed.
“The [city] council is
investigating mitigation
procedures to deal with the
issues that the estuary trust
people raised and we agree that
there should be measures. We
think there should be screening,
we think that a low barbed
wire between the trail and the
pond [estuary] levee is all that’s
necessary.”
Said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge: “The pathway
would be flanked by a security
fence several metres to the
pond side of the path, and
screen planting along the estuary
shore. Planting along most
of the estuary shore already
exists; the project is to provide
screening of most of the remaining
gaps.”
Mr Rutledge said additional
protective measures, which
may also be considered include
“educational signage promoting
the site values, dog exclusion
signage, regular monitoring
of compliance, track closure
at certain times” and “vehicle
barriers at entry points.”
Mr Doudney said these measures
won’t work and birds will
suffer.
“Since last winter, we’ve got
new data from a student who
was working over the summer
on bird disturbance. There will
be a massive impact.”
Mr Doudney believes the
360 Trail group’s members
are avoiding meeting with
the trust so they don’t have
to acknowledge its concerns.
He said the trail group most
recently pulled out of a meeting
on February 17.
Said Mrs Millar: “That is not
accurate.
“It was decided that a meeting
with them [the trust] when their
opinion was so entrenched was
not necessarily going to be helpful,
given that there is a process
under way, which the council
has outlined.”

Volleyballers
NOR’WEST NEWS
make their mark
CANTERBURY age-group
volleyballers continue to make an
impression on the national stage.
Eight volleyballers have made
national squads
St Andrew’s College’s Kate Allan,
St Margaret’s Rosa Davidson,
Burnside High School duo Taylah
Holdem and Rosa Vesty and
Lincoln’s Ellen Watts have made
the national women’s youth
Commonwealth Games squad.
St Margaret’s Ella Ballantyne
and St Andrew’s Tineke Hinton
have gained selection in the under-17
women’s beach squad.
Riccarton High School’s
Joseph Baxter has made the New
Zealand under-17 men’s beach
squad.
Burnside and Canterbury
coach Sam Ryburn says for those
picked in youth Commonwealth
Games squads it is a sign they are
on the radar for higher honours.
The squad will compete in
Vanuatu at the end of the year
to get a taste of international
competition.
Taylah and Rosa, who both live
in Papanui, won both the South
Island and New Zealand secondary
school beach titles this past
season.
Taylah, 15, says it’s been a heck
of a season.
“It didn’t hit me until school
nationals what I had achieved,”
she said.
“We’ve done heaps of training
as a squad and as a combination
and I’m fortunate I can play both
front-court and back-court.
“Ryburn came up to me at
athletics day when I was in Year
9 and said I should be playing
volleyball.
Mostly I did the high jump,
long jump and triple jump before
then.
“It has all happened very fast.”
Rosa, 15, says the Burnside
environment and culture has
helped elevate players like her at
the school.
Both of Rosa’s parents played
volleyball with her Mum, Paula
Vesty, coaching at a national
level.
“I’d been playing in the
backyard for a while but I didn’t
take it seriously until I got to
Burnside.
“I’ve been around it since I was
little so I always knew I wanted
to play at some point.”
TALENT: Rosa Vesty and Taylah Holdem now have national
selections to go with their stellar beach season.

ADVERTORIAL
Never for one minute have we regretted it
Paul and Marlene
absolutely love living in
Ngaio Marsh Retirement
Village where they have a
spacious townhouse and an
active lifestyle that reflects
their earlier busy lives.
In their younger years
Paul and Marlene saw a
great deal of New Zealand
and some of Australia
and other countries,
before they settled down
and raised a family
in Christchurch.
Now, they have no
regrets about the move
into the Papanui village.
The pair met in Waiouru
where Marlene was a
teacher. Then Paul was
posted to Officer Cadet
School in Portsea on the
Mornington Peninsula
about 100km from
Melbourne’s CBD. Marlene
also moved over to Victoria
and soon enough the pair
were married. They lived
in Mount Martha, where
Ryman is now building
a village.
Paul’s army service saw
the pair travel further
afield to countries like
Malaya, Singapore, Borneo.
Paul served for a short
time in Vietnam.
Life eventually brought
them back to Christchurch
and they settled in Upper
Riccarton, living in the
same home for 37 years
and bringing up two
children. But nearly three
years ago they decided it
no longer had the same
neighbourhood feel and
they started looking at
alternatives.
Having inspected a
few retirement villages
Paul and Marlene love life at Ngaio Marsh Village.
that did not match up to
expectations, Marlene
remembered a previous
visit to Ngaio Marsh.
Marlene says as soon as
they arrived at the village
Paul was very keen, and
after a chat to village
Sales Advisor Marie Kyle-
Stevenson they were ready.
It only took a couple of
weeks to sell the house and
the decision to move was
totally the right one.
“Never for one minute
have we regretted it,”
Paul says.
Since moving in, nearly
three years ago, both Paul
and Marlene have become
quite involved in village
life. That’s when they can
tear themselves away from
their lovely townhouse,
which is surrounded
by gardens and a gentle
stream running at the back
of the property.
“We’ve got marvellous
neighbours and a lovely
outlook, we’re not
hemmed in,” Marlene says.
They often take the car
to visit their children and
grandchildren or walk to
nearby cafés, at Northlands
or Merivale malls.
Marie says as a Sales
Advisor she likes to
point out the nearby
amenities for residents.
The location is close
to Papanui boutique
shops, and a library.
“Coming into a
retirement village, there
is a wide community
and varied activities the
residents can participate
in. You can also enjoy your
current activities as well,
so it enhances your life,”
Marie says.
Other village facilities
include a putting green, a
shop, a hair salon, a spa,
library, gym and bar.
Paul helps organise
lawn bowls, Marlene plays
croquet, and both are
involved in walking groups
and village activities like
the annual market day,
where Paul can be seen
selling raffles to visitors
and residents.
Marlene says she used
to swim at Jellie Park
but now chooses the
immediacy of the village
pool and spa, which are
free to use. She swims six
times a week and Paul two
times a week. They like to
join in Happy Hour and
Wednesday and Friday
night social events.
“The other thing we
like about the village, is
the staff are brilliant …
the gardeners do anything
for you.”
Paul says he often gets
asked by outsiders about
village life and he tells
them to make the move
because it results in no
financial surprises on the
home front. There is a
general air of “stress-free
living” and no need for
a lawnmower.
“That’s his big delight
– no lawns, no edges, no
hedges,” Marlene says.
She adds that when
people ask if they
had a good weekend,
they say every day is a
weekend day.

Feijoa season signals the end of summer
• By Ian Knott
It’s March already, and that
means the start of feijoa
season. Has there ever been
a more polarising fruit than
feijoas? Love them or hate
them, these green, oval
nuggets of floral tartness can
bring an extra dimension to
many sweet dishes
Feijoa and blueberry
shortcake crumble
Serves 12
Ingredients
2 cups peeled and chopped feijoas
1 punnet (125g) fresh blueberries
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
Crumble topping
¼ cup ground almonds
¼ cup flour
½ cup wholegrain oats
¼ cup soft brown sugar
50g butter, melted
Shortcake
100g butter, softened
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 ½ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 170 deg C
(fan assisted). Line the base and

sides of a 23cm square cake tin
with baking paper. Mix together
chopped feijoas, blueberries,
sugar and ground ginger and set
aside.
Prepare the crumble topping.
Put ground almonds, flour,
wholegrain oats and sugar into a
mixing bowl. Stir through melted
butter. Set aside.
Prepare the shortcake. Beat
together butter and sugar until
pale. Beat in the egg. Mix in flour
and baking powder to form a soft
dough. Press dough evenly into
the base of the prepared tin.
Spoon over the prepared fruit
to cover the base. Scatter over the
crumble mix.
Bake for 40-45min until top is
golden and base cooked. Leave
in the tin for 20min before
carefully lifting it out, with the
baking paper onto a cake rack to
cool. Serve cut into pieces with
yoghurt, ice-cream or cream.
Warm spiced feijoa
doughnuts
Makes about 14
Ingredients
1¼ cups plain, gluten-free flour
½ tsp baking powder (gf)
Pinch of salt
½ tsp each of ground cinnamon
and mixed spice
3 Tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 medium feijoas, peeled and
diced into 1cm pieces
Vegetable oil
Cinnamon sugar
½ cup caster sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
Put 5cm of vegetable oil in a
deep, medium-sized saucepan
and heat to 170 deg C on a sugar
thermometer or until a piece of
bread dropped into the oil turns
golden within 30sec.
Combine the sugar and
cinnamon in a shallow dish and set
aside for rolling cooked doughnuts.
Combine all the dry ingredients
in a large bowl. Whisk the egg,
milk, butter and the vanilla together
then stir into the flour along with
the feijoas until well combined.
Carefully drop tablespoons of
the batter into the pan and cook
for about 2min until a golden
colour and puffed, turning
to cook on all sides. Don’t
overcrowd the pan as the oil
temperature will drop rapidly and
the doughnuts will be heavy.
Remove with a slotted spoon
and drain on paper towels. Roll in
the cinnamon sugar then place on
a wire cooling rack in a 100 deg C
oven until all the doughnuts are
cooked. Eat immediately.

SENIOR LIVING
Staying well in an
unhealthy world
Viruses can make us very unwell and some
people may even die from them. However if
we keep ourselves as healthy as possible we can
greatly reduce the chances of becoming unwell.
The Wuhan coronavirus has spread fast and
does appear to be a particularly nasty virus, so
it makes sense to do what we can to improve
our health and immunity. I believe it is our
weakened immune system that is the real threat,
not a virus and if we restore and optimise our
immune system we will have a much better
chance of staying well.
Liquid Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) is the first
amazing natural product I would suggest.
OLE contains powerful compounds including
oleuropein that can destroy invading organisms
(viruses) directly while stopping viruses
replicating and causing disease. OLE can also
help rid the body of long term infections,
bacteria and fungi that are compromising our
immune system. It is also a super antioxidant
that can support stabilized blood sugar, blood
pressure and blood flow.
Researchers have shown Vitamin C to have
powerful antiviral activity against all types
of viruses and to support a healthy immune
system. In one well-controlled, randomized
study, just 200mg/day of vitamin C given to
the elderly resulted in 80% fewer deaths in the
vitamin C group. Dr. Robert F. Cathcart, who
has had extensive experience treating viral
diseases remarked, “I have not seen any flu yet
that was not cured or markedly ameliorated
by massive doses of vitamin C.” Frederick R.
Klenner, MD, chest specialist has said “Some
physicians would stand by and see their patients
die rather than use vitamin C”.
According to Dr. Thomas Levy’s clinical
opinion one gram of properly-produced
and orally-ingested liposomal vitamin C is
as or more effective than 5 to 10 grams of
intravenously given vitamin C. If you want
the best benefits and absorption this is the
way to go. However he also warns many of the
liposomal vitamin C’s he has tested are not true
liposomal products. He guarantees the LivOn
brand is a true liposomal product.
Vitamin D3, zinc and selenium are also vital in
sufficient amounts for a healthy immune system.
These are some of the most important
supplements but our natural health advisers
are always happy to discuss with you a suitable
protocol and other factors that affect the

LivOn LYPO-SPHERIc
VITAmIN c
Lypo-Spheric vitamin C is quickly absorbed
by the body & carried into the cells. It
supercharges the immune system. Dr.
Thomas Levy’s clinical opinion is one
gram of Lypo-C is equivalent to 5 to 10g
intravenously given vitamin C, making it
the most absorbable vitamin C available. However
he also warns many of the liposomal vitamin C’s he has tested are not
true liposomal products. He guarantees the LivOn brand is a true liposomal product.
30 packets of 1000mg Lypo-C only $54.90 60 packets of 1000mg Lypo-C only $99.90

REAL ESTATE
Heritage Charm, Contemporary Build
204 Cannon Hill Crescent, Mt Pleasant

at Ray White Metro, 2/76 Hereford Street (unless sold prior)
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 toilets, 2 living rooms, swimming pool
Listing no. OPA24706
Rich in traditional detailing and commanding
instant admiration, this homestead-style
abode delivers a luxurious hillside lifestyle
and combines the comfort of contemporary
living with timeless design.
Offering a majestic presence, this property
visually epitomises character yet enjoys
the perks of more modern construction.
Originally built 1994 and with the exterior
reclad in 2014 offering you plenty of peace
of mind. Occupying a substantial 1775sqm
section that overlooks Castle Rock, it also
boasts unimpeded views over the city and the
Alps. The superbly presented property makes
further use of its outstanding position with an
alluring swimming pool, a level lawn, decking
and mature gardens architecturally designed
by Goom Landscapes, promising endless
hours of family fun and alfresco entertaining.
The home’s aesthetic appeal is further
reinforced indoors where tasteful styling,
timber accents, contrasting hues and ceiling
beams create an attractive setting for everyday
living.
Beautifully arranged over two levels, the
ground floor responds superbly to modern
family living. The generous open plan kitchen,
dining and lounge area conveniently adjoin
a formal living zone to promote elegant
entertaining or effortless relaxation.
All accommodation is situated upstairs
and includes two master bedroom options,
with each enjoying a walk-in wardrobe and
ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms share a
family bathroom while a total of four toilets
are found within the 210sqm floor plan.
Optimally placed to capture sunshine,
this home also benefits from the additional
warmth provided by heat pump, a gas fire and
excellent insulation. An established driveway,
easy drive-on access and off-street parking are
further highlights of this hillside home.
The various offerings of Mt Pleasant are all
located within easy reach including schooling,
numerous walks and parks, and the myriad
of stores and eateries that lie beyond in
Ferrymead.
Secure your very own escape from the
ordinary.
